Wonderful Support System

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.

Covid wedding

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!

Dream come true

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!

We worked with Smith & Murphy on a really incredible wedding this year. The bride and groom had a very specific esthetic and Krystle translated their vision beautifully! It was one of my favorite weddings of the year because the couple was just having so much FUN! You could tell they didn't have care in the world because everything was being managed perfectly and they didn't have to worry about a thing.

I highly endorse Krystle and Anna of Smith and Murphy here in Santa Barbara. They are life-long Santa Barbarans who worked their event and wedding wonders in the San Francisco area and we are now back to Santa Barbara. I will certainly share their contact information with my brides and grooms. Welcome home. Father Jerry
