This is a late review for our wedding in August because I wanted to photos to showcase Selina wonderful work. As a project manager and event planner, I am always organizing something and my wedding was the last thing I wanted to plan. Selina is not only highly organized but she is very creative and a great problem solver. I remember sitting in our walkthrough meeting and she caught things that I didn’t even think about. We were also blessed to have the additional support of her planner team to assist us with our venue’s event team. We basically had support for our support and they worked as a well oiled machine. I made it known that Selina was in charge because I completely trusted her with everything. Thank you again, Selina for everything! We are so grateful for you.

Selina and her assistant coordinator Desert made our wedding day and rehearsal run so smoothly. They were professional, easy to communicate with, and took care of all of the small details. Selina and Desert made us feel really supported the entire day. I would highly recommend Smith & Murphy Events!

We were one of the few couples who decided to keep our original wedding date and venue. However we were told there would be no dancing, but Selina worked with the vendors to make it as fun as possible even with the restrictions. Selina came up with games we could play with our small group and it ended up being a big hit.

It was a perfect day and we can’t thank Selina and her team enough!

Could not have done our wedding without Selina! She put so much heart and soul into helping me plan and make my vision come to life! She was very professional and went above and beyond to create the wedding of my dreams! I enjoyed every minute of our perfect day and am forever grateful for her making it happen!

Selina was amazing from start to finish. Her attention to detail and level of care made for a perfect wedding. The wedding timeline was so professional and detailed, all of my vendors commented on how much that was appreciated. Selina made sure everting was placed precisely where it belonged to make for such a special celebration. I highly recommend Selina!

Selina is great to work with and very understanding. She has great vendor recommendations and all very professional. The whole process was smooth. Selina is able to handle sudden changes while paying close attention to details.

Selina Murdy was such a pleasure to work with and a very professional, easy-going, flexible wedding coordinator. She asked all the right questions, took care of any details we could have imagined (and more!) and worked with us when wanted to make changes. She has a great personality and got along well with our family. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to hire a coordinator for their wedding to make their lives so much easier!

“Smith and Murphy” and the lead event person, Selina Murdy, made my daughter’s wedding the perfect event! Selina was organized, professional and yet, warm and lovely to everyone at the wedding and all who were involved in the day. She had every detail dialed in and gave us confidence that the day would flow seamlessly and it surely did! If you are looking for someone to make you feel relaxed and assured that everything will be taken care of for your wedding so that you can be truly be present and enjoy every moment of that special day, having Selina there will make that happen. She is good at what she does and on top of it all, just a really nice, quality person.

Selina, the head coordinator, knows this business. We didn't always know the correct questions to ask vendors and she really helps with all the correspondence. More than a coordinator, she has the creative gravitas to completely execute your vision and fill in the holes you may not be aware of. Our wedding would not have gone felt or looked anything like we envisioned without Selina. Through planning and day-of, this is a top-notch service.

Krystal and her team literally put together the wedding of my dreams. Being a bride from Houston, TX I hired a Santa Barbara local planner in hopes that they could connect me with some great local vendors. She did not disappoint!!!
I barely know where to begin in terms of how amazing she is. I honestly was lost (in the wedding planing process) before her! By the time I found her we were already a little less than a year from the wedding date so from day ONE we hit the ground running! Krystal was so communicative, so cooperative, so patient, so helpful, so reassuring, I mean the list goes on and on. If I wasn't 100% sure or happy with the vendors she initially recommended, she would always have an option that was exactly what I was looking for. She knew my vision before even having to fully explain it - she is that good!
In terms of day of (wedding was March 31, 2018- so this is still relatively fresh), everything ran extremely smoothly. I mean if there were any issues at all, I didn't even know about them. Krystal checked in on us girls getting ready maybe once or twice just to see if we needed anything or how things were coming along and that was really it! Otherwise we were left to completely enjoy ourselves! I was getting a little worried as we got closer to the ceremony time because we were running a little behind while getting ready, but Krystal was so calming and reassuring that everything will still run smoothly so I was not stressed about making it exactly to my timeline!
After the ceremony, Krystal had drinks in hand, ready for us, while taking photos. She made sure we got some of our passed appetizers that were going around during our cocktail hour, and she made sure we actually got some food and ate! The rest of the night was just perfect. The DJ, someone highly recommended by Krystal, kept everyone on the dance floor the remainder of the night!
Literally that day was my dream come true. Couldn't have been better. I'm gonna miss Krystal!
