Villa Loriana Wedding

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Candice! From start to finish, she went above and beyond to make our wedding weekend everything we could have dreamed of and more.

Three months before our wedding, our rehearsal dinner and welcome party venue unexpectedly canceled on us. What could have been an incredibly stressful situation was made so much easier because of her. She immediately jumped into action, helped us navigate all of the logistics, and worked tirelessly to find a solution. Somehow, what we ended up with was even better than what we had originally envisioned. We genuinely don't know what we would have done without her.

Beyond that, the entire wedding weekend went so seamlessly, and we know that was because of everything she was doing behind the scenes. There were countless little details and moving pieces that we never even had to think about because she was already taking care of them. One of the greatest gifts she gave us was the ability to be fully present and genuinely enjoy every moment of our wedding weekend. We were able to spend time with our family and friends, soak everything in, and not worry about a single thing because we knew she had everything under control. That peace of mind was truly priceless.

She brought our vision to light and truly understood the design that wanted. Every single detail was beautiful and perfectly executed.

On top of being incredible at what she does, she was such a joy to work with. Wedding planning can be overwhelming, but she made the entire process so much more enjoyable. She was always thoughtful, responsive, reassuring, and genuinely invested in making our wedding everything we wanted it to be. By the end of the process, I truly felt like I had gained a close friend, which made the experience that much more special. It was so nice to have someone by our side who not only understood our vision but who we genuinely loved working with and looked forward to talking to throughout the process.

We are so incredibly grateful for all of the time, effort, and care she put into making our wedding weekend unforgettable. She exceeded every expectation we had, and we truly cannot imagine having gone through this process without her. Hiring her was hands down one of the best decisions we made, and we would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.

We loved Candice!

We could not have asked for a better wedding planner. Candice was organized, detail-oriented, and responsive to every question we had throughout the entire planning process. We were planning our wedding in SLO from another state, and Candice was incredibly communicative -- she kept us informed in every detail when we wanted to be while also making us feel confident she had everything under control for things we couldn't be there in person for. Our wedding day went perfectly and we felt so relaxed the entire day knowing we had someone so trustworthy taking care of everything behind the scenes. We also multiple family members and friends mention to us how helpful Candice and her team were to them throughout the day. Thank you, Candice!!

Heyday Weddings is the bomb!

Candice was truly amazing. I appreciated her responsiveness, kindness, professionalism, and expertise.I feel like we meshed so well and she really understood what I was looking to capture from the onset, and I was able to step back and just trust the process instead of stressing out about the details. Our wedding exceeded our expectations by a mile. We couldn't have had a more perfect day thanks to the Heyday wedding team. I honestly will miss the planning process because we don't get to chit chat now!

Best wedding planner ever!

Working with Candice was by far the easiest and best working relationship either of us have ever had. She was always readily available for questions and concerns. She is highly knowledgeable in the wedding industry and has great relationships with the vendors. She is a great listener (mind reader level) and was able to help us narrow down multiple selections. She was able to help us stay on budget. Not only did she design our dream wedding but she also executed it flawlessly. Our wedding weekend was truly a dream come true thanks to Candice. We highly recommend her and her team and are sad that we don't have an excuse to talk to her as much!

Dream Wedding Thanks to Candice!

I could not have had the wedding of my dreams without Candice (nor would I have wanted to)! From the moment I met Candice I knew I was in great hands, and she did not disappoint. With each step of the wedding planning process, Candice went above and beyond to ensure everything went as smooth as possible and exceeded my expectations through it all. Not only is Candice so lovely to communicate with, but she is also great at listening to your wants and needs and executes them in a way that is timely and very detailed oriented. I truly feel so honored to have had Candice as my wedding planner. She will share your vision, bring it to life, and get just as excited for your big day as you are.

The Best!!!

We could not have asked for a better experience! Candice was an absolute joy to work with and extremely easy to contact. She was with us every step of the way from first conversation to choosing vendors to making sure everything was set up correctly day of! We are from out of state and had no knowledge of what vendors to use. Candice was extremely helpful with providing us with multiple options and making sure each vendor was on top of everything. We would recommend her to anyone looking to have a California wedding, but we would especially recommend her for those who are out of state or not familiar with the area.

Excellent to work with!

I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Candice at several weddings. The care and attention to detail she puts in to each wedding is incredible. Candice really goes the extra mile to make sure everyone and everything is taken care of and it shows in the results for the bride and groom. She is a joy to work with and she creates is an environment of ease and celebration. I highly recommend hiring her as your wedding planner!

Perfect day!

I wouldn't expect our wedding day to be any smoother, thanks to Candice! We really appreciate your efforts. Steve and I had a blast! We both were very relaxed for the whole journey and had the time of our lives! Very responsive and professional.

The best day ever

I booked Candice as my Day Of Coordinator and let me just say how awesome she was. She did an amazing job on setting up everything and was super flexible. She managed all the curve balls at the wedding -- unexpected guests, changing time of toasts and lots of other things I am sure I didn't know because she handled them efficiently and seamlessly. So thankful I decided to get a coordinator.
