So grateful we had Jill!

Jill was such an amazing wedding planner which made all the difference in our wedding weekend. We had the full-service package and this was a destination wedding for us coming from Texas. We really had zero ties to anything in Santa Barabara so I leaned heavily on Jill for recommendations and she helped me choose an amazing team to help with the wedding. I didn’t have to worry about much and I know weddings can be really stressful. Whenever people asked how I was doing along the way I was honestly ok, I said I had a great planner and she was taking care of things. She communicated with all the vendors and got things organized and sorted out. She helped with the style and décor which I super appreciated. We had planned to have a really small rehearsal dinner but then changed out minds a few months out and turned it into something a bit larger. We then added on that service with Jill and I’m so grateful we did. Mid-rehearsal dinner, the Funk Zone experienced a blackout. Out beautiful venue went on and we continued our cocktail hour by candle light. I was nervous for sure, being the bride, but I also knew that Jill would come up with a backup plan when needed, so I didn’t have to worry. The power came back, and just in time as we were getting peckish. It almost seemed like we planned the whole thing, it was really pretty and romantic with our already curated décor completements of Jill and our florist. The wedding day was gorgeous, and we couldn’t have asked for anything more picturesque. I have heard nothing but compliments on how lovely everything was and how much fun everyone had. We really wanted a fun, dress-up party with little stress and that’s exactly how it went. It was just tons of fun, and I wouldn’t have changed a thing, especially not my amazing team of helpers with Jill at the lead.

The Most Perfect Destination Wedding

Jill came highly recommended to us by friends and we are beyond grateful we listened and hired her. She was so awesome to work with!! We had a destination wedding in Hawaii for our daughter and she went above and beyond to find all our vendors and make sure everything went smoothly. We had a year of planning where she answered every email, text and phone call immediately and always with the happiest attitude, which kept us at ease the whole time. When the wedding weekend finally arrived she made sure everything went without a glitch. We never worried knowing Jill had it all under control. And Wow!!!! She got our vision to a tea. It was exactly as we had hoped. We literally were blown away that the welcome party and whole wedding ceremony and reception was 100% what we had in mind. I can’t recommend Jill enough. A true professional with the sweetest demeanor. You would be lucky to have her and by the way her son Jake is an incredible videographer too :) Kristin Poulsen

Exquisite!

Jill and her team are the absolute best. This was a second marriage for us and we wanted an intimate wedding for 80 near our home in the Santa Ynez Valley. Jill came highly recommended by a friend and, as we went through the process, every vendor, every person we met asked who our planner was and responded with "I love Jill" and we know why. She is so expert, professional, and calm. She provided us with a list of vendors to choose from, provided counsel, planned the perfect decor and lighting, and thought of any contingency we may need. On the day of she and her team ran a seamless event and we did nothing but enjoy our love, friends, and family! She is extraodinary!

She really listened and understood what was important and meaningful to us and everything was exactly as we wanted! We had the most amazing time during the wedding because we didn’t have to worry!🤍 Thank you very much for taking all the burden off my shoulders and allowing me to get married with a wedding beyond my dreams!

The Dream Wedding

can’t say enough about Jill La Fleur. My husband and I are coming up on our 20th wedding anniversary and we still look back at the day of our wedding as the most magical night to remember. Jill is so professional, and talented. She has beautiful taste down to the smallest details. Whether you are having a small intimate wedding or a large one, she nails it every time. She has the experience and access to all the best vendors to fit your needs. I would absolutely recommend Jill to anyone I know and they are guaranteed to be happy and have forever memories of the most special day.

Wedding Planner

We hired Jill for our wedding at Alisal Ranch last October 2023. Jill made the entire process seamless with her attention to detail, incredible timeliness, and professionalism. She knew every vendor team we hired and was able to recommend the best team of people. No detail was over looked and we were able to be at ease knowing everything would come together perfectly-and it did! Thanks to her and her incredible event coordinator Dina.

The Best Wedding Planner

Working with Jill was the best decision we could have made in planning our wedding! We had already found our venue and we knew we wanted a full service planner. Picking Jill was easy - as easy as it was to talk to her, get to know her, and realize she was the perfect person to handle all the questions and details and stress of the process. We didn't necessarily have the strongest vision for our wedding other than wanting to prioritize our guests' experience and keep the aesthetic minimal but meaningful and elegant, so Jill made for the perfect collaborator. Without ever overwhelming us, she found vendors who worked within our budget and growing vision for the wedding day. During the planning process I had more questions and changes about anything that could possibly come up, and Jill was not only patient but superbly organized and quick to respond. She never left a doubt in my naturally very indecisive mind that whatever we would end up choosing would be just right for us. When the day came, it was absolute bliss to hand over the reins and live completely in the moment. As someone who tends to overthink or worry about how everyone else is doing, having Jill allowed me to remain present the entire time. On top of mastering the orchestration of the day, she was equally as present and encouraging every step of the way. Without a doubt, feeling at ease that a professional is in charge is one thing, but feeling like you also have a dear friend by your side as happy as you are is indescribable. Of course, any hiccups of the day were small and hardly noticeable. The foundation for which Jill builds up your confidence in the success and happiness of your wedding day is through months of patience, positivity, attention to detail/bigger picture, a highly honed skill set, and trust. Her expertise is not to be missed for any event planning opportunity. We could not recommend her more!

Best wedding planner ever!

I highly recommend Jill if you are looking for a wedding planner- she is the absolute best! My husband completely agrees as well-we both loved working with her. Throughout the whole process, she was honest, responsive, extremely organized, provided practical guidance and advice on whatever we needed her help with and we trusted everything was in good hands right away when we started working together. She gave us many vendors to choose from and her design expertise literally helped our vision come to life - everything was BEAUTIFUL. One thing I didn't think about when considering a planner was how much of a role they will have on your big day, in addition to everything leading up to it. On wedding day, Jill was so calm, helped with every last minute detail, and fun! As the bride I felt so comfortable around her and so did our families and bridal parties. We cannot thank Jill enough for everything. We truly enjoyed planning our wedding and are so grateful to say our wedding weekend was PERFECT because of Jill's planning with us every step of the way!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
