My wife Ashley and I had the honor of working with Allison's assistant, Karen for our wedding at the Madonna Inn this past summer. Karen was always easy to reach, had set aside plenty of time for phone calls and effectively communicated with our vendors so that we didn't have to worry about any last minute updates. The day before; Karen made our rehearsal easy too! On our big day; Karen brought her assistant, Nina, that was a huge help with my elderly parents. Karen and Nina were on time, gave us poignant updates and ensured that everything would go off without a hitch and it did. If you're deciding whether or not to get a wedding coordinator; please do so as a gift to you and your future spouse; they are a lot of moving parts when it comes down to the actual rehearsal and wedding day and we were so grateful to have them help us out. We did not need to worry about any of our personal items being lost as Karen had placed them all back into a bin we had brought. I would 10/10 recommend this vendor again to any friend looking for extra help on their special day. Thank you ladies again!

Alison was absolutely the reason why my wedding happened. She is professional, experienced, knows the ins and outs of working with vendors, and was 100% focused on my wants and needs for the wedding. What I appreciated most is that she kept me on track in a very kind way. Alison was hired as a "month of" Coordinator but worked with me for over 6 months to ensure that the wedding day would be it's best. Because of Alison's hard work, I had a dream wedding day that was beautiful, fun, and as stress free as possible! I couldn't recommend Monarch enough.

My daughter had a destination wedding in Santa Barbara, CA on 7.22.23. We hired Monarch Wedding Planning to help us navigate this milestone event for our family. I am not sure I have the words that can adequately describe how amazing Alison was to work with. We simply could not have pulled off the most magical wedding if we didn't have her helping, guiding, and organizing us each step of the way. I love how she would give us opinions and options but in a way that was not pushy or over bearing. Alison was very professional especially when working with our other vendors. Every time would visit Santa Barbara to do wedding stuff, she always made us a priority. We absolutely loved working with Alison and are truly going to miss her.
