Not enough words to truly thank Chabeli and the PS Plans team enough for making our wedding INCREDIBLE, so I will just share the email we sent them after the best weekend of our lives!!!

"We wanted to say another enormous THANK YOU for making our wedding weekend the most perfect, seamless, and beautiful celebration. Going into the weekend, we already had such high expectations just having seen the amount of effort and attention that you all had put in for the planning portion- everything from florals to Taco Bell. And despite being advised by so many to stay present and ignore the things that don't go perfectly, and having Chabeli reiterate to us that come Thursday we shouldn't worry about a thing, I don't think either of us really expected to spend the entire weekend so focused on each other, on our family and friends, and on the absolute magic that you all orchestrated so flawlessly. It's safe to say our expectations were blown out the water of Lake Alisal, through the garland-covered Atrium, and launched into the starry Santa Ynez skies.

We knew we were in safe hands with Chabeli from the very beginning, and then when we finally got to meet the rest of you in front of Jackson house, we were reassured that everything was going to be great. Brianna, Jeannine, Juliana, Sheena- you are all so warm and professional and clearly love what you do. We're sure there were countless moments of stress for all of you throughout the weekend, but we can honestly say that we did not notice a single one of them, and every time that we looked over at one of you, there was a smile.

Chabeli, our fearless leader! Thank you for putting up with all of our incessant questions over the last year. If we had a dollar for every time we asked you "well what do you think, Chabeli?" we could probably pay for the entire wedding. We trusted you throughout the whole process, and given the way that Atrium turned out, we are so glad that we did (can't believe we were even considering saying no to that). But seriously, you're truly the best in the biz and we couldn't have done it without you. We'll be singing your praises to friends, family, and random strangers on the street for the rest of time!

Can't thank you all enough - we are so grateful

I cannot say enough great things about Chabeli and her team. From start to finish, this process exceeded my husband and I's expectations. Not only was Chabeli wildly prepared at every turn, she was efficient, creative, passionate, and most of all she was on board with our vision and did everything in her power to make it come to life. Each and every one of the vendors she recommended were so spot on. Her list of connections and friendships with people in this industry speaks volumes about how professional she is but also how kind and supportive she is. All the vendors love her and we can see why. Our wedding was truly the most perfect day, not one hiccup, not one detail was overlooked, and almost everyone who attended is still talking to us about how this was one of the best weddings they've ever been to. My parents are extremely harsh critics and they said this was the most beautifully put together and well thought out event they had ever seen. Chabeli was able to get to know my husband and I and immediately she felt like a fierce friend in our corner guiding us through the wild wild wedding west and we are beyond grateful for her expertise, her wisdom, and her guidance. We are forever PS Plans fans and any other party we need to throw or anniversary get together we'll have in the future, we will always choose Chabeli. Forever grateful!!

From our very first conversation, Chabeli impressed me with her warmth, friendliness, and meticulous resourcefulness.

She held bi-monthly meetings, and Chabeli always came prepared with her agenda, patiently answering all of our questions. Chabeli's service was so comprehensive that we even knew exactly how much to tip our vendors on the day of the wedding.

On my wedding day, Chabeli truly felt like my wedding godmother! She handled everything, from ensuring the hair and makeup artists knew my hotel room number, to steaming my bridesmaids' dresses and confirming they were worn correctly. She adeptly understood sensitive family dynamics, navigating everyone's emotions and expectations with unwavering confidence, allowing us to rely on her completely. My family and I even had a couple of last-minute requests during the reception dinner, and Chabeli made them happen like magic! As we were about to leave for the after-party, she even confirmed that both my husband and I had our phones and IDs on us – that's when the "wedding godmother" thought truly solidified.

Chabeli was the brain and muscle of my wedding. I wouldn't have had the perfect and amazing day I did without her.

Love you loads, Chabeli! I hope you guide many more brides to their perfect weddings! 💖

PS Associates Event planning planned my wedding from vendor booking all the way to Coordinating day of over the course of a YEAR. Every moment of planning with them was wonderful.

HEADLINE: I had a perfect wedding--in large part because the day of I had no thoughts in my brain, I didn't need to know what was happening at any point, I didn't have my phone on me the whole day, I just floated around happy and catching up with loved ones because Chabeli Sanchez and her team could and did handle absolutely everything.

PROS:
1. Great Energy
2. Responsive
3. Knows their stuff like no one else
4. The team an organized well running MACHINE day-of
5. Also an organized well running machine months proceeding
6. Excellent Listeners
7. So, so smart
8. Very well connected to venues and vendors
9. Does not bother you with the technical details, handles all the small coordinating stuff wonderfully
10. Actual Fantastic in every conceivable way

"CONS":*
1. Chabeli will keep you on track and keep shit happening, if you like to waffle about, that won't fly. These woman have a mission and they are going to succeed. Chabeli WILL get answers out of you.
2. Chabeli will make executive decisions without you if there is not the time/space to consult with you. Once she can, she will tell you her decision and point to specific things you've said/done as a reason for her executive decision. (She was right every time in my experience)
3. There is a LOT of work coordinating with the team prior to the wedding, you need to be on top of it and working with them for the day of to go off without a hitch.

*Chabeli went out of her way to really get to know me and for that reason I enjoyed Chabeli keeping my focused and making decisions for me and I enjoyed the insane amount of time I spent working with her. These cons are only cons if YOU aren't going to put in the work with Chabeli to give her the information she needs.

Highlights:
-Post ceremony I was ready to curl and take a nap. I was fully ready to skip the reception, I wanted to bail on the first dance and just cocoon with my new husband. Chabeli--in her infinite wisdom--read the situation and 15 minutes later I had a starbucks in my hand, a smile on my face, and I was on my way, now a happy camper, to the reception where we had a beautiful first dance and super fun reception.

-I tried to cancel the wedding two months before it was scheduled because I hated the vibe (100% my change of heart based on events going on in life) Chabeli talked me out of it and helped me develop an entire different wedding (same venue) two months before the event was scheduled. She didn't even bat an eye, she just GOT IT DONE.

-I cried on the phone about not even wedding related things to Chabeli and she listened and supported me despite it not even remotely being her job.

-She also listened to about 50 long winded rants on ~only tangentially related topics~

-I told her what my vision was and she would return with curated vendor options that fit the bill perfectly every time.

-There was a very loud party next to my reception that was ruining the speeches and she got them to shut it down.

-and most importantly, Here Comes the Bride in San Diego, got my dress 7 days before the wedding and then ruined it in alterations and Chabeli got me in to see a Phenomenal tailor in Los Angeles, Miss Tashina, 4 days before the wedding who did a complete overhaul of the dress.

Then Chabeli's team picked up the dress 2 hours away from the venue the morning of the wedding and had it delivered to me in my bridal suite.

This team (and especially Chabeli) made the wedding experience idyllic and spectacular. I had wondrous fun planning it and the best night of my life getting married. I owe the last year of peace of mind and excited anticipation to Chabeli and her team.

Tldr: Professional, On-top-of-it visionaries who will run your wedding like a CIA mission with the number one priority of making you happy and number two priority of running the best event you'll go to in your life.

I can’t sing Chabeli’s praises enough to do her and her company justice! She is the absolute Best part of planning a wedding.
We felt like we had the best possible captain of our ship!
She was so methodical, helpful, supportive and I’ve very rarely met someone who had the perfect balance of professionalism as well as enthusiasm and support when we needed it. I will use her again and again and recommend her to anyone who is looking for a wedding planner!!! The Absolute BEST!!!

We used PS & Associates for our wedding at Alisal Guest Ranch earlier this month and it was absolutely the BEST decision we made throughout wedding planning. Chabeli walked us through the entire process and helped us stay on top of all the little decisions that needed to be made from day one. She also provided fantastic vendor recommendations so we felt confident in the team that we selected for our big day.

When it came to the actual execution of our wedding, we were blown away by the entire PS Planning team. Alisal Guest Ranch is a massive property and we brought in a good number of external vendors that all needed to be coordinated and communicated with. The PS Planning team handled the entire situation with such ease and truly made our dream wedding come to life! I had a lot of small details that I wanted to work into our weekend and the PS Planning team pulled it off without a hitch - we truly could not have done it without them. On top of it all, the team is so fun and easy to get along with which made our entire wedding day that much better.

We are forever grateful to Chabeli and her team for all of their hard work on our big day. They truly were everything we could have asked for and more. You guys are the best!!

Chabeli and her team are absolutely amazing and we could not recommend them enough for all your wedding planning needs!

As soon as my fiancé and I got engaged we established we wanted to prioritize paying for a full planning package with a wedding planner given our busy schedules. It was the absolute best decision we made going into a year of wedding planning. From our first meeting with Chabeli, she was super in tune with our desire to properly scale our wedding for a smaller event, somewhere around 50 guests, and to stay as close to our budget as possible. Her diverse vendor list helped us stick to one of our other priorities, to hire as many minority-owned small businesses as possible. When a dire family medical emergency came up just six months before our wedding date, when we expected to go in deep on wedding planning, Chabeli was super encouraging that she wouldn’t bother us until we absolutely needed to make decisions, which allowed us to continue tending to our family needs full time. Come the final weeks before our wedding, Chabeli and her team kept on top of things we definitely didn’t even realize we needed to take care of.

Our wedding day ended up being an absolute dream. So many people told us they wanted to duplicate so many big and small details for their own nuptials!

If you want a planner and a team that is the perfect combination of calm, competent, and fun, look no further than Chabeli and PS Associates. Chabeli and her team knocked it out of the park with our August wedding in Los Angeles. From our very first conversation, she brought energy and enthusiasm and kept the train moving throughout the year-long planning process. She is organized and realistic about what's possible with your budget and offered great advice around how to stretch every dollar the furthest possible. She navigated any hiccups with grace and every vendor she recommended - florals, hair/makeup, photography, you name it - was on point. We also had multiple vendors tell us privately that they LOVED working with Chabeli and we had made a great decision. She understood the exact vibe we were going for and executed on it to perfection. Day of, she and her team were all prompt, organized, and kept us feeling grounded and taken care of. Plus, they're just so fun to be around. So grateful for this team!

We just returned home from our destination wedding that we put on for our daughter at the Alisal Guest Ranch. Chabeli and her team were exceptional. I literally can’t think of anything that they didn’t handle perfectly and with ease. They made the event super enjoyable for our family as we didn’t have to worry about a thing. They held our hand all the way through the planning process through the actual events. I could not recommend them any higher. This was a 3 day event with multiple parties and photo sessions of which each one went smoothly and seamless. Also their recommendations of different vendors was helpful of which they were also very professional and top tier. Thank you again Chabeli and team you are a rare gem in your business.

Chabeli and her team brought our entire vision to life and then exceeded our expectations. She kept us on track throughout the entire wedding planning process and then kept us feeling grounded and calm throughout the wedding weekend. we could not recommend working with PS Plans more!
