All hail Carissa

For any brides out there looking for a wedding planner who will make your dream day come true, become your bestie, and is so easy going - Carissa is your girl!! I simply couldn’t love her more and am so grateful with my choice! We had weekly zoom calls to go through every detail, had a group chat with my husband we were talking in all the time and sharing inspo, and Carissa went out of her way to make sure every detail was perfect - driving hours to different rental places to pick up the right chairs and bringing them to us to make sure we could see them with our tables. On our wedding weekend, she was so organized, calm, and made us feel so taken care of - it was the best day of our lives and all the details were perfect. She’s truly the best and now one of my good friends is working with her. I miss getting to see her all the time! BOOK HER TODAY!!! :)

Carissa is 10/10!!

Carissa was the perfect person to help plan and coordinate our wedding! We had no idea where to start because we were having a destination wedding and were not familiar with the area. But Carissa helped put my husband and I in contact with the perfect vendors. She kept me and my husband on a timeline so everything was done on time and prepared for our perfect day. She went above and beyond, especially day-of to ensure every detail was on point even though we dealt with some crazy Cali wind! She even helped deescalate me when I had week-before anxiety about everything going perfect- Thank you🙏🏼. My husbands and I would highly recommend Carissa to anyone who is ready to start planning their wedding!

Our Wedding Day Saving Grace!!

Carissa was our saving grace during the wedding planning process - we feel so lucky to have been introduced to her by a mutual friend whose wedding she planned! That wedding was so spectacular we knew we needed her help. Carissa made every single decision so easy and it truly felt like a partnership working alongside her to plan our special day! She had answers for everything and was so beyond organized, it was a Type A’s dream!! Not only did she help us bring our vision to life (beautifully), but she made the process so so fun! It can be such a daunting experience walking into wedding planning, but she had a solution to every problem and made it the most magical day ever! Even at 9 months pregnant she showed up to review notes with vendors and ensure that we felt comfortable and prepared for our wedding day, she’s a professional to a T and has such a great eye! When it came to things like linens and design, she executed so flawlessly and had so many incredible ideas, people complimented the wedding aesthetic continuously! We are so beyond grateful for Carissa and couldn’t recommend her more!! Even now that the wedding is all said and done, we feel so lucky to be able to call her our friend!

Hire Carissa if you don’t want to stress about your wedding!!

It has been such a pleasure working with Carissa! My husband and I got married in Fallbrook and were lucky enough to have her by our side to help make our dream wedding come true. She is incredibly knowledgeable in the wedding industry, extremely organized, and always kept us on track with every deadline. Carissa has a great eye for detail and connected us with the perfect vendors to bring our vision to life—our wedding was absolutely beautiful because of her!

We truly don’t know what we would have done without her help and support. If you’re looking for someone who will make your wedding planning experience smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free, Carissa is the one. She’s simply the best! We love you, Carissa!!

Carissa has got your back!

We feel so lucky to have found Carissa to be our coordinator for our wedding! We met with quite a few and she really stood out as the perfect amount of professional, experienced, as well as relaxed and calming. She has a lot of knowledge and confidence in the space which put us at ease throughout the whole experience. And best yet, we really did not have to think about much beyond having fun on the actual wedding day. Carissa was kind, responsive, professional, and a delight to work with. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone getting married, any sort of budget or location. She has got your back! We couldn't imagine having trusted this extremely special day in anyone else's hands. Thank you Carissa!

Best wedding planner we could have ever wished for!

Working with Carissa was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! She was incredible and she really helped me bring to life my vision for our wedding. I had very specific ideas in mind, and I wanted them executed in a specific way, and Carissa really made sure my mind was at ease the whole time and made the planning process so fun! Carissa really worked with me in detail to understand what vision I was going for, and made it so easy to get in touch with all the best vendors. She was so unbelievably professional and on top of everything down to the last day! And not only was she a phenomenal planner but she really became a true friend!

When I saw my vision come to life on our wedding day, I was speechless! Our wedding was straight out of a fairytale and none of it would have been possible without Carissa! I would 1000% recommend her to anyone who wants an incredible wedding, with all the little details taken care of, and just make the whole wedding process less stressful.

Hire her!!!

I worked with Carissa for my Indian Wells wedding in October '24, and she is the BEST. She was so professional, attentive, and knew exactly how to bring my wedding vision to life. We logged a lot of hours on Zoom and iMessage planning our big day :) She was connected with all the right vendors and knew my venue like the back of her hand, which made planning a destination wedding SO much easier for us. Carissa always made herself available and left no detail untouched. People are still talking about my wedding and how it's the best wedding they've ever been to. No doubt that Carissa had so much to do with that!!! I couldn't recommend her more.

Carissa is AMAZING! She truly exceeding my expectations! I would recommend her 1000000 times over and over again. She is supportive, professional, caring, and was there for us through it all. We got so many compliments on our wedding day and we truly had Carissa to thank! I didn’t worry about a thing on the wedding day because she took care of it all and was on it. She knows what she’s doing 😄
