Patty and Every Last Detail is amazing!

Patty is absolutely amazing and I loved working with her!

I'm getting married in October in Carmel and was looking for a wedding planner to help me find wedding vendors, review contracts, and find a location for our rehearsal dinner and welcome party. Every Last Detail was the first company I called. I'm normally the type of person who calls around to explore options and find the best price, but Patty was so personable and made what felt like a daunting task seem fun so I booked her right away.

I'm so glad I went with my gut because I couldn't imagine working with anyone else! Patty was very helpful and responsive. She also went above and beyond for multiple tasks.

We live a few hours away from Carmel and wanted to plan a trip to visit some rehearsal dinner locations. We ended up planning this with only a few days turnaround time. I expected given the time crunch that Patty would give us a list of venues to check out based on our criteria, but she actually planned the whole trip for us! She introduced us to points of contact at each venue, scheduled each tour, and even mapped them out so we visited places that were in close proximity back to back and we didn't have to keep trekking back and forth between locations. It took all the stress off of planning and coordinating.

I also know that finding spots that we would like was not an easy task in and of itself. My fiance, future mother in law, and myself all had some different/ vague ideas for the event. Patty did a great job finding locations that fit what each of us was looking for.

We were so impressed, my future mother in law even hired her again after the fact to coordinate the day of the rehearsal dinner.

I would highly recommend Patty and Every Last Detail for event planning!

Our perfect day!

Patty and her crew are so kind and personable. She is very good with communicating and is very detail oriented making everything go smoothly. She went above and beyond to ensure we have a perfect day. She was very familiar with our venues and helped us make adjustments to restrictions the venue may have. It was such a pleasure working with Patty! We found ourselves care-free and truly enjoying our wedding because we had Patty and her crew by our side.

True to the name!

We LOVE Patty!! Patty truly went above and beyond and ensured that every detail was accounted for at our wedding. She put my mind at ease each time I talked to her, and was on top of so many things that I would have never even thought of. I had full confidence in her and her team, and my family and I were able to more thoroughly enjoy the day because she was on our team. I would highly recommend working with Every Last Detail for an upcoming wedding!!

Brilliant and I’d absolutely recommend.

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner! From the moment we started working together, Patty made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She worked with us despite our busy schedules in different time zones. She was incredibly organized, attentive to every detail, and always available to answer our questions. Patty truly understood our vision and turned it into a reality beyond what we could have imagined. Her vendor recommendations were top-notch, and the day of the wedding went off without a hitch. Thanks to Every Last Detail, we were able to fully enjoy our big day knowing everything was in capable hands. We highly recommend Patty & Carol of Every Last Detail to anyone looking for a dedicated, professional, friendly, caring, enthusiastic, and creative planner!

Patty at ELD is the BEST of the best!!!

Patty was my wedding planner for my wedding last June 2023 and I really can't say enough good things about her. She's truly incredible, and made our wedding experience so special. I was having some health issues and i work a stressful job, and i was able to rely on her for so much. She is with you every step of the way, and she's so knowledgeable. I really can't imagine trying to plan a wedding on my own, without Patty. There are a lot of wedding planners out there but I know from friends that a lot of them are not great. Patty is 100/10 and goes above and beyond to make your day special. I can't recommend her enough - she is the best of the best!!! Thank you Patty for everything you did for Mack and I

Amazing Wedding Coach!

It was such pleasure having Patty at Every Last Detail as a wedding coach throughout our planning process! I wish we could have hired her for her whole planning package but our venue actually came with a venue coordinator. We liked her energy and personality so much and knew how much expertise she had to offer so we wanted to utilize her services in some way and having her as a coach was a perfect solution. She is extremely thorough and made sure we considered everything and offered suggestions that really helped relieve stress. She is very conscientious and quick to reply. Also extremely well connected in the Monterey area, she was able to connect us with some amazing vendors. I highly recommend Patty at Every Last Detail if you are looking for a wedding planner who is kind, thoughtful, fun and truly takes care of every last detail of the wedding process! She is amazing!

Great Experience with ELD - definitely recommend

We hired Patty at ELD to plan our wedding in 2023. We are not from Monterey, so Patty's knowledge of reputable vendors and great options for value/cost in the local area was priceless. Every vendor she suggested was fabulous, and I appreciated the range of options she provided. She's also very enthusiastic about incorporating your ideas and does not try to force you into a "cookie cutter" event, which I appreciated. Our event turned out wonderfully, despite some weather hiccups, and the experience was much better because we had hired Patty. I was initially hesitant about hiring a planner, but in the end our wedding experience was much more enjoyable having the ELD team in charge.

So grateful for Patty!!!

Patty did an amazing job with our Monterey Bay wedding!! From the start, she was super duper responsive, so excited about all of our ideas, and overall really easy to communicate with. You can tell she has a lot of experience with wedding planning, and her confidence helped us feel less stressed about everything. Her expertise REALLY showed when we had a ton of last minute changes (literally days before the wedding), including changing the entire room and seating layout, and she handled everything like an absolute pro. Whenever we had anxieties or confusions about different things, she responded quickly with helpful information and solutions. She made wedding planning feel easy!! I would absolutely recommend her!!

Impeccable professionalism, planning and communication

Patty at ELD, was an amazingly organized and professional wedding planner. From start to finish she was on every detail and provided guidance in our decision making. I don’t know how we could’ve pulled off this destination (Monterey, Ca) wedding without her expertise. I highly recommend her. You will not be sorry.

The best investment we made!

I can’t imagine having such a perfectly smooth wedding without Patty! In my past I worked a few weddings and knew just how much coordination goes into the day of planning and knew I needed someone to help, so that we could fully enjoy our day and not have any additional work put on ourselves or our guests! Shortly after booking our venue we hired Patty who was a preferred vendor of Carmel Valley Ranch. Patty is a seasoned veteran, has endless connections, and enjoyable to be around. We were able to book a hybrid package that included Patty making recommendations for vendors based off a questionnaire we filled out and then would make introductions for us. If Patty is still offering this service I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND it as it got us quick introductions with vendors within our budget who had successfully worked with Patty in the past. It also made it much easier when we got to one month prior before our wedding as Patty already knew who all of our vendors were. Along the way Patty was also there to answer any questions I had about booking vendors and continuously gave my fiancée and I piece of mind.

For the day of services Patty and her assistant were amazing. Unfortunately, two days prior to the wedding both of my parents came down with COVID and all of my family were exposed. Patty was so helpful in getting live streaming set up and room meal deliveries coordination in addition to notifying all of our vendors of the last minute change that my family couldn’t be in attendance. With Patty’s help I truly did not have to worry about a thing the day of as I knew everything was taken care of. All of our decorations were set up in the church, the reception area, and then brought back to our room after the wedding concluded. She also kept the timeline on track which I wouldn’t have been able to handle given my emotional state with my family missing. I’m sure there was much more behind the scenes that I didn’t even know about. Patty I cannot thank you enough for all of your help in making our wedding vision come to life. Please do not hesitate in booking her if you are on the fence, she is truly the best investment we made in making sure everything ran smoothly for our wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Patty Speirs at Every Last Detail has certainly chosen the right name for her service. Patty doesn't let anything slip through the cracks. She and her assistants strive to make the wedding day a most enjoyable experience for the couple being married and their families by eliminating the stress and worry that can sometimes overshadow the joy of the day. As an officiant, I especially like that Patty is well organized and makes every effort to begin the rehearsal as well as the ceremony on time. I'm always confident that when I recommend Every Last Detail the couple will never be disappointed. (From Rev. Brian Lyke of LifeCelebrations.org)

In the wedding business it is the details that make the difference. All the elements of the day need to flow together smoothly to make the event a success and enjoyable to all. Patty Speirs of Every Last Detail does just that. Patty is the Diva of planners! Being wedding photographers, we love working with Patty! She knows the importance of the photographs and plans in enough time for us to do our thing. She is careful to coordinate the special events at the receptions with us for the best organization and photo coverage. I think the greatest thing about Patty is that she (and her staff) are experienced, down to earth, compassionate and patient people, show enthusiasm and they have fun on the day of the wedding. It makes everyone comfortable and confident that their day will be everything that they had planned for and dreamed it would be.
