As we were planning our wedding, we had put our deposit down 2 weeks before the shut down in March. While that was happening, both Natalie and Kevin did their absolute best to keep me in the loop about what was going on and helping me make plans. I appreciated their prompt responses to my emails and questions, even though they were also in the same boat with the unknown. Unfortunately, 30 days before our wedding, UCI no longer allowed weddings through the end of the year and Kevin instantly called me and worked with me to help us plan an alternative. They helped us get in contact with Aliso Viejo Wedgewood and helped us plan and move everything over to the new location. While the situation seems as it should be stressful, they made the transition seamless. Both Natalie and Kevin were there for our rehearsal and our wedding day to help plan and coordinate our wedding and making sure everything went smoothly. They set up all the decorations beautifully and the day of went so smoothly due to their organization and coordination the day of. I was so grateful for their help and that they made wedding planning, which is already stressful enough, during COVID so much easier.

Unforgettable
I was first referred to Wedgewood by a family friend and now, they are at the tip of my tongue when it comes to recommendations! Hailey was a godsend in helping us coordinate our wedding (especially when I forgot to order flower baskets and petals and only realized right before we walked down the aisle). The entire staff is so helpful and pleasant, even the security, and in light of the whole COVID 19, Wedgewood very graciously worked with us as our plans were thrown into uncertainty. I could not recommend them more!
