Look no further for your bartending needs!! Brian & the Daring to Dream staff were the MVPs of our wedding vendor teams! Brian offered consistent support from the initial phone call to the day-of. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the wedding industry and the flow of events-- I always ended a conversation with him feeling confident and secure. His signature cocktails for our event (a watermelon margarita & pineapple rum situation) were HUGE hits. He uses fresh ingredients and provides a detailed shopping list for those who are purchasing their own alcohol. Our guests raved about his bar team's service, the quality of the cocktails, and the positive energy they brought to the event. We also used Daring to Dream for additional staff to assistant from set-up/during/take-down and these team members were incredibly professional, well-versed in the art of hospitality, and made such a difference in the flow and support of our day. For anyone in the Central Coast region of CA, THIS is the partner you want for your event!

Alison and her team were so helpful throughout the wedding planning process! Our day went so smoothly thanks to all the preparation we did together ahead of time. Really appreciate how professional and organized the Monarch team was. We had a great experience!

Choosing Cristina from tutt events ( formerly known as cask events) was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From start to finish, they demonstrated an unmatched level of professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail that exceeded our expectations. Cristina and Kaitlyn took the time to truly understand our vision and brought it to life in ways we couldn't have imagined. They were proactive in suggesting ideas that perfectly complemented our style and budget, making the planning process smooth and enjoyable. On the day of our wedding, everything was executed flawlessly. Every detail, from the décor to the timeline, was meticulously planned and executed with precision. We were able to fully relax and enjoy our day knowing that Cristina and Kaitlyn had everything under control. Their team's dedication and passion for what they do truly shine through. They were always available to answer our questions, offer advice, and provide reassurance throughout the entire planning process. Their vendor recommendations were also spot-on, ensuring that we had a dream team of professionals working together seamlessly. We can't thank Cristina and Kaitlyn enough for making our wedding day so special and memorable. Their expertise and commitment to excellence are unmatched, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to create the perfect day. Love always, Ej and Sarah

Firstly, there is no one I would trust more than Colleen to plan or help you plan your wedding. Colleen was our coordinator for 2+ years as we were a Covid couple that had to cancel our first /and/ second wedding attempts. Throughout it all she was right there answering every question and guiding us through one of the most stressful times to plan a wedding! Colleen is so fun, kind, and professional. She gave us incredible and candid vendor recommendations that made the best vendor team we could have asked for. She gave us a warm hand-off to another amazing coordinator for our wedding day as she needed to take a step back for her maternity leave, but even at 8 months pregnant she still came to coordinate for us for a few hours on the day of!!! She even went to get us batteries for our flameless candles on the day of when we didn’t realize they didn’t come with the batteries. We adore her - My husband and I can’t recommend her enough and would hire her again any time we had an event!!! Outstanding.

I just can't say enough about Taylor! She was an absolute pleasure to work with, sweet, kind, gentle, professional, and hard-working! I know that I would not have enjoyed my daughter's wedding as much if it weren't for Taylor. I highly recommend her and wish her continued success and happiness.

It's hard to write a proper "review" for Brooke and Brooke Nicole Events because we can't possibly capture all the value and support we received from the moment we first spoke with Brooke on the phone to months past our wedding. The most important attribute that sets Brooke apart is her deep, personal dedication to her clients. This was apparent from our initial interest call with Brooke, when we immediately clicked with her and realized we had so much in common -- the good (both Bay Area natives!) and the bad -- navigating serious illnesses within our family and that creating a very unique situation for wedding planning. Sadly, it was only about a month after hiring Brooke that I panic texted her asking if she could send someone to our house to marry us, as my Mom had entered hospice and did not have much longer to live. In the most meaningful and generous service I have ever experienced, Brooke put together a whole wedding for us and my parents in 72 hours -- including a dress, flowers, an officiant, photography, live video stream for our friends and family, and food. It was so above and beyond what I was thinking of in that moment, and I am so glad Brooke was thinking of all of these details when I could not. Together, they amounted to what my Mom called the most beautiful and perfect wedding she had ever seen -- and she was right. There are no words to describe what that experience meant to all of us in my Mom's final days. Thank you forever, Brooke, for creating that priceless experience and memory for us. Well, a few months after loss and grieving, we came back to Brooke as we knew we had to honor my Mom's wishes to still have our wedding with friends & family that we had envisioned. In settings big or small, Brooke is the ultimate pro. I had no idea the level of detail, activity, and resource that went into planning a picture-perfect wedding that gave guests a truly wonderful experience and reflected all the nuances and personalization of our preferences. Fortunately, Brooke knows everything! It was definitely a labor of love to plan and pull off this bigger wedding, but Brooke provided expert guidance and reassurance every step of the way. Brooke has exceptionally strong relationships with many local vendors, which also helped deliver a smooth and special experience for us and our guests. Brooke also always somehow knew what we needed before we did! From steering us to the right venue for us to ensuring we had the most delicious food that any of our guests had ever had at a wedding -- there is no way we would have had this once-in-a-lifetime experience without Brooke. There are so many more specific moments I could share that further show Brooke's care, sensibility, and magic touch, but I will leave future clients to discover those for themselves! Just know that Brooke is so much more than a wedding planner, and you should absolutely hire her to deliver the most special and memorable experiences of your life.

We hired Buonasera Events for our wedding in the Santa Ynez Valley, and were very happy we did! Monica was incredibly friendly, communicative, and organized. We were impressed by the work she did both leading up to and on the day of our ceremony. She was instrumental in the organization and smooth running of our day. We would highly recommend her to everyone!

Kindra was incredible to work with from start to finish. We used her coordination services and she executed everything we needed her to, and more. The last 2 months of wedding planning were stressful, but Kindra made this experience easy and enjoyable. We felt supported throughout the wedding planning process and she truly has the answers for everything. Could not recommend her enough!

I don’t even know where to begin with Tracey. We were introduced to her under unexpected circumstances when our original planner had to step down due to illness. At the time, Tracey herself was on a break from wedding planning to care for her sweet young daughter, yet she still stepped in for us without hesitation. That alone tells you the kind of person she is. Tracey joined us halfway through the planning process, but by wedding weekend, you would never have known. She seamlessly picked everything up and led our entire weekend with confidence, grace, and so much heart. She was endlessly kind, incredibly patient, and truly the queen of details and logistics, always thinking five steps ahead so we never had to. Because of her, we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. Beyond the big picture, it was the small things that meant everything. She handled every question from our family members so we didn’t have to. She had extra powder in her purse to touch up my makeup. When my dress strap broke, she fixed it on the spot and shared the sweetest story that the same thing happened at her own wedding. These moments went far beyond her job description and showed just how deeply she cares. She also has the most wonderful team supporting her, and together they made our wedding weekend feel effortless. I feel incredibly lucky that of all people who could have stepped in to take over our wedding, it was Tracey. She is truly exceptional, and any couple would be so lucky to have her by their side. I could go on and on, but simply put, she is amazing.
