Hiring Sonia was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she made the process feel collaborative and truly took the time to get to know us. She understood the vision and aesthetic my husband and I wanted for our wedding day, and throughout the planning process, she offered thoughtful suggestions I hadn’t even considered, helping bring our vision to life and make it even better. I can easily get overwhelmed by a long to-do list, but Sonia gave us a clear month-by-month checklist and checked in regularly, which reassured me that we were on track and getting everything done in a timely way. Her calm, steady energy was exactly what we needed throughout planning and on the wedding day.

On the day itself, Sonia and her team made sure every detail was taken care of — from having our signature cocktails ready right after the ceremony to setting aside food for us at the end of the night. She coordinated all of our vendors, served as the main point of contact, and kept the timeline flowing seamlessly. Because of her and her team, my husband and I could simply enjoy being with each other and our loved ones. By the time the evening wrapped up, everything was already packed and ready to go.

For a day that can easily feel stressful with so many moving parts, Sonia made it feel effortless. We were able to be fully present in every moment, and guests still tell us how beautiful, meaningful, and fun the day was. It was an honor to work with her, and we are so deeply grateful. We will sing her praises forever!

From the very beginning, Sonia was exceptional, and I cannot recommend her enough. After interviewing several others, I chose Under the Vine Events because of Sonia's deep knowledge of Napa Valley and the wedding industry, along with her calming energy and fun nature. As a Napa native and an outdoors enthusiast like myself, I instantly felt we connected and that she truly understood the vibe I envisioned for our wedding. I chose her full bridal package after considering what I might need, and I’m so glad I did.

Despite living across the country in Atlanta, her frequent and thoughtful communication made me feel supported and confident every step of the way. She would video the venue as the vines and flowers began to season. She went out of her way to get local items for our welcome bags. She even helped me secure the rehearsal dinner location and contract, which she didn't have to do. She was always attentive to my preferences, checking in regularly to ensure nothing had changed and patiently exploring my ideas whenever they evolved, even though I usually stuck with the original plan.

She created an incredible design board that beautifully captured the elegant black, white, and green theme I had dreamed of. Sonia succeeded in blending our personalities with a touch of eclectic style, adding candles, whimsical flowers, a hint of velvet for the cocktail area, and plenty of lighting to create a romantic and joyful atmosphere for our celebration. Our wedding, with about 65 guests from around the world (my husband is part Australian, part French), turned out to be truly magical. Even though it was unexpectedly hot (95 degrees!), she made sure our guests had extra thoughtful touches that helped make the day as comfortable as possible.

As a clear example of Sonia's above-and-beyond approach, she helped us handle a stressful situation when our venue unexpectedly canceled our guests' and our reservations two weeks before the wedding for another event. Sonia stepped in immediately, took charge of the problem, calmed my anxiety, and helped get it resolved, even though it wasn't part of her job. Without her, I honestly don't know how we would have managed.

Sonia exceeded all my expectations. Her professionalism, warmth, and dedication truly made a difference. I would love to work with her again, and I honestly miss our regular check-ins now that the wedding has wrapped up. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, calming, and highly capable planner, Sonia is absolutely the best.

Sonia executed my wedding exactly how I envisioned. She was flexible, communicative, easy going and most importantly executed on the day of. I had 0 stress on my wedding day because Sonia handled everything. She is detailed oriented and I had an extremely enjoyable wedding experience because Sonia handled everything. I told her exactly what I wanted and made multiple changes throughout the journey and she was completely accommodating. I cannot recommend her enough. She is a main reason why my wedding went so smoothly and I had no stress and could enjoy my day!

Sonia and Under the Vine Events are the absolute dream wedding team! Last year, at the beginning of January, my husband and I, after planning to have a long engagement, had to plan a wedding in four months due to a family member's illness. We both worked full-time corporate and often worked well over 50 hours a week. Planning a wedding seemed nearly impossible, but Sonia made the entire experience wonderful. For years, I had heard that wedding planning was stressful, but I had the most fun planning my wedding. I showed Sonia my Pinterest board, told her the vibe and color theme I was going for, and she helped me put together my dream wedding. She was beyond organized, easy to get a hold of, catered to our schedules, and pretty much did all of the behind-the-scenes, so my husband and I rarely spoke to any vendors. We only did the fun things; she handled all the coordination with vendors, timelines, payments, and helped us search for vendors, all the stuff you don't want to do! Day of, she was amazing, anything that needed to be communicated, she would check in with MOH first, so I was never stressed - I had the best day ever and just got to take it all in. I cannot recommend Sonia and Under The Vine Events enough! I mean, planning a dream wedding in 4 to 5-ish months without stress - that alone speaks volumes!!

Sonia was absolutely amazing! Our wedding was perfect because of her. Sonia and her team were able to pull together a ton of last minute details to make everything look perfect. It was such a pleasure to work with Sonia! 10/10 recommend!

Working with Sonia was an absolute dream from beginning to end! My husband and I are still glowing from our wedding day, and we owe so much of it to Sonia’s incredible planning and design expertise.

One of the things we appreciated most about Sonia was how she anticipated needs and often suggested small but crucial details that we never would have thought about on our own. She also has great recommendations and relationships with other vendors in the area which was super helpful for our planning process.

If you're looking for someone who is not only professional and organized but also genuinely caring and thoughtful, Sonia is the one you need. We can't recommend her enough!

We had an absolutely amazing wedding, and I attribute that 100% to Sonia. I made the crazy decisions to have my wedding during the most insane period of medical school and when my husband was extremely busy with work (not to mention we live across the country), so there is no way we would have been able to pull it off without her. Sonia was extremely patient with my chronic indecisiveness, and delivered on everything we asked for. Her experience and knowledge of both event/wedding planning and the Napa area was vital. We constantly deferred to her for advice and opinions, and she brought important things to our attention that I never would have considered. Not only is she great at what she does, but she is also a genuinely great human and truly a pleasure to work with. Her energy was exactly what I needed on the day of- calm, in control, and excited. I felt SO good knowing she was there, and I trusted that she could handle whatever came our way. Even when our videographer canceled day of due to Covid, she was able to coordinate with the last minute replacement and I didn’t think about it once. I honestly didn’t stress for even a second on my wedding day, and that is thanks to Sonia. Ultimately, she was able to really understand our vision for the day, and then miraculously bring it to life. If I were to do it all over again, I would not hesitate for a second to hire Sonia again.

Sonia was so wonderful and helpful from start to finish! She helped keep the planning experience very stress free for us — thanks to her organization, routine check ins with us, handling everything behind the scenes with our vendors, and calming demeanor whenever we interacted with her! Plus, her intimate knowledge of our venue and extensive, existing relationships with other vendors in the Napa area was a huge help in ensuring we had a great planning process and wedding day itself! We knew we were in good hands going into the big day, and she did not disappoint! Our wedding was so smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. Not to mention her eye for aesthetics made the wedding beyond beautiful! As someone without that sort of taste, she was really wonderful to have plan the florals and table scapes. Wish we could relive the day all over again. We’d highly recommend working with Sonia!

Sonia is the absolute best, I don't even know where to start. Sonia helped plan our day from begging to end, and everything was absolutely perfect! She brought to life everything I had ever imagined for our wedding day, and made it even better. Her attention to detail was exactly what this type A bride needed in planning a wedding, and she was very prompt and responsive during the planning process. Sonia helped from the very start of our wedding planning process, and helped us select our venue and then vendors. She is very knowledgeable in the wedding industry, especially in the Napa Valley - which was great as we were traveling from out of state. The entire planning process was a dream thanks to Sonia, and I wouldn't have even known where to start in planning a wedding if it wasn't for her help. She made the entire process very easy, and her day of timeline was absolutely perfect and nothing was forgotten or missed. I am so thankful to have found Sonia for our day, and I cannot recommend her enough to future couples looking for the best wedding planner for their big day!

Sonia is the BEST!! My now husband and I could not be happier with working with Sonia from start to finish. Her attention to detail, prompt responsiveness and kind personality made it an absolute joy to work together. She always thought of small (but important) details I never would have thought about it she hadn’t brought it up. She even made our dinner menus for us and picked them up from the print shop. Our wedding was PERFECT all thanks to Sonia! Couldn’t recommend more!
