From the very beginning Liz was very helpful! I really didn't know where to start when it came to looking at vendors and I kept falling in love with vendors out of my budget. Liz put together several lists to help me find what I was looking for. She managed to find me a photographer and videographer that were the PERFECT fit for what we wanted! Not only was she super organized and helpful throughout the planning process, the day of felt perfect to me! As with any wedding, I forgot several things, her assistant was on it... an issue came up with our shuttles and she didn't worry the bride about it, it was just handled! Very professional and well organized!

Liz and the WINK! team were integral to the success of our wedding day! From our first meeting to venue loadout, WINK! had our best interests in mind throughout the entire process. They were on top of all of our vendors and explaining the wedding decor set up was easy and pain free so that by the time we were walking down the aisle, we were able to focus on each other and the fun and memorable parts of the wedding day.

Additionally, Liz and team were cordial and accommodating to all of the other vendors and made sure to keep us aware of only information we needed to know. Our catering company was late and Liz was on top of it immediately, problem solving with our bartending vendor to make sure service was on point.

Also, our chair and furniture rental vendor was late for pickup, and WINK! made sure to stay on top of them so that we didn’t end up getting charged for overtime at the venue (which had a strict load out policy). The rentals vendor nearly cost us extra, but with Liz’s excellent communication and patience, Wink was able to get the rentals ina and out on time, while also appeasing the venue in a diplomatic manner.

Overall, the process and day-of with Liz was fun and filled with joy! WINK! is a dream to work with and we quite literally could not have accomplished all that we did without them. If only we could throw another wedding for ourselves, we would choose WINK! again and again! Cannot recommend enough!

I worked with Simone (coordinator) and Liz (design). We wanted an intimate, very non traditional wedding. They were both so wonderful to work with! Our wedding turned out better than we envisioned, and ON BUDGET. Liz made our wedding look absolutely gorgeous, and had fantastic creative ideas. Simone made the planning process so easy. She helped us find our venue and gave great recommendations for our other vendors. Simone was fantastic on the day of, everything ran seamlessly. We were able to enjoy our day without any stress or worries! Overall, a great experience, our wedding would not have been the same without them! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Our wedding was on 11/9/19. We chose Liz and Wink Weddings about 16 months prior to our wedding. Above hearing about them on WeddingWire and the Knot, we found them in bride magazines as well. I loved how timeless her weddings look and how she incorporates personal elements into each wedding- making them unique for every couple. We love how easy going Liz was and how she made every effort to stay in our budget and make our day exactly what we wanted. She has exceptional recommendations for venues and vendors. We were able to connect with some of the best venues and vendors and were more than happy with her recommendations of photographers, DJ's, rental equipment, hair stylist and makeup artists, wedding invitations & save the date companies, and bridal dresses/ attire. Her knowledge of weddings and networking is incredible, having more than 10 years experience. She was available for phone chats personally reaching out and making sure I was okay through the whole process. We love WINK and hope you do too!

If you're considering using Wink! to plan your next event, you have made the absolute best decision. Liz, Layne, and their entire team are incredible. It's like planning your wedding with you best friend, but your friend happens to be a magical wizard. I know that sounds silly, but they truly take your ideas and bring them to life in a way that really is magical. They are there with you every step of the way. From curating an idea or theme for your event, to picking out the tiniest of details, to juggling opinions of many different and sometimes difficult family members. They really do it all. I couldn't have imagined a more professional, caring, and fun team of people to work with. They were always one step ahead of us. Every time I had I question, they had an answer before I even had time to ask it. I can't say enough about how amazing these ladies are. They gave us the wedding of our dreams. We walked away as Mr. & Mrs. and even made two new lifelong friends along the way. Thanks Liz & Layne!

Liz, Layne and the entire Wink team (which we affectionately begain referring to as the Minions of Liz), created a day for us that was simultaneously relaxing enough for us to enjoy and be in the moment, over-the-top enough for all of our guests to have the experience of a lifetime, and yet warm, familial and unpretentious enough for it to feel like us.

I am not a bride who grew up dreaming about my wedding. Yet somehow they managed to translate what was in my brain...when I didn't even know was in my brain. They found ways for us to shine - and not only not laughing at us when we wanted to do a sprinkle cake at a black tie affair, or tell us we were crazy when we said we were doing hand written notes - but supporting us and finding a way to help us do everything we wanted to do.

All I know is that I wouldn't want to redo my wedding - solely for the fact that I dont think it could ever go any better :)

My husband and I had a GREAT experience working with WINK! Weddings (we worked with Stacy, Amanda, and Emily from the Northern California branch). Our wedding was at my husband's grandparents' house, and since it was not a traditional venue, we relied on our team at WINK! to ensure everything we needed was in place (rentals, transportation, restrooms...everything!). Even though Stacy, our original planner, moved to Texas, she was still very present in the organization and getting Amanda and Emily up to speed, who flawlessly executed the rehearsal and day of. The team took care of any bumps in the road day-of, and I was blissfully unaware - which is how it should be! We had a fantastic wedding, thank you WINK!!!!

We worked with Elizabeth Vining and I can honestly say it was one of the smartest decisions we made for our wedding. I'm extremely organized and manage projects all day at my job but it was so AMAZING to trust someone like I did Liz, and hand my wedding over to her to completely execute in our vision. Not only did my husband and I get to enjoy every moment of our wedding - but our detail oriented and emotional moms did too!!

Leading Up to the Wedding: Liz was always available via phone and email, which I valued very much during the stress of it all. She was the perfection combination of all business when she needed to be, and someone you want to make your best girlfriend - and let's be honest, the chemistry is important for such a big emotional day! She always shared tips and suggestions while keeping our priorities, vision and budget top of mind.

Rehearsal: She was on-time, thorough and commanded a crowd with kids crying and adults not listening. Liz made sure to clearly explain what we expected and did not let family change our vision - even if they had a strong opinion. By this point, all timelines and details had been done for several days and all we had to do the night before the wedding was enjoy my family and friends.

Day Of: Liz was PERFECTION! We were on schedule and she never failed to give us our private moments and remind us to stop and take it all in. I cried, I laughed, I was hot and dripping wet with sweat because it was so hot - and all the while Liz was there with a tissue or an ice cold towel with a big smile on her face - taking care of me. Our family, especially our very involved moms, loved her. If there was a problem, my husband and I never knew about it. And that's precisely why we hired Liz @ Wink! to coordinate our wedding.

Thank you Liz for making our day the best day of our lives, and I wish I had another wedding just so we could make the fun & wonderful memories all over again!

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Elizabeth at WINK! She was amazing and so was her team. Leading up to our wedding she was prompt with emails and knew just what to say to calm my nerves. Her ideas were great and she knew exactly what I wanted. Through the process and even on the day I worried that things wouldn’t go or look as planned but I sneaked into the ballroom before our guest and I was so happy with everything. Liz and her team really brought my vision to life. We were so glad and relieved that they were there for us every step of the way! I know it wasn’t easy with my huge guest list but the girls at WINK made it look like a piece of cake! I would definitely recommend them to our friends and family!

Simply said, our wedding would not have happened without Stacy. I was a complete DIY bride on an extremely small budget and thought surely that would mean that I'd have to be at my venue on my wedding day putting everything together at the last minute...nope. With Stacy at my side, all I had to do was show up on our special day! I honestly did not think this would be possible given our budget constraints, but she made it happen.
Actually, I miss her! It's so funny...she was such an integral part of our lives for such a special occasion and you build this bond; now I feel like I've lost a friend!
What Stacy accomplished is nothing less than astounding. First, at our initial meeting she told me that everything would come together just perfectly and I believed her! She then took over all of my vendor relations which I'd been juggling for a couple of months...what a relief that was! Then, she asked if "I'd mind" if she popped into our rehearsal! Mind?! She organized the rehearsal and had everyone rounded up and ready to go within 20 minutes. Then, onto our venue and our wedding day.
She met me at the venue a few weeks prior to our wedding, which was no hop, skip and a jump, and helped me do all of the space planning. We were getting married and having the reception in the same space, so planning was key. I also must mention that we got married in a feed barn...no kitchen, and we didn't use traditional caterers. None of that phased Stacy, even though I knew it meant much more work for her. I also want to give acknowledgement and praise to Stacy's assistant, Amanda; also amazing. Our venue fell in love with Stacy as well and said she was the easiest, most well-organized and kindest planner they had ever worked with. Don't let her kindness fool you either, I was confident that if something needed to get done, she'd make sure of that! I had so much more to say, but it appears that I exceeded the character limit! Bottom line, Wink! and Stacy are extraordinary. Hire them!
