Sometimes All You Need is LOVE

Sometimes All You Need is Love to make a wedding weekend unforgettable—and that’s exactly what Shannon and her team delivered for our daughter Hannah and son-in-law Jeremy’s wedding.

What a phenomenal weekend it was! Everything was absolute perfection from start to finish. Every detail was handled beautifully, allowing us to truly enjoy each and every moment without a single worry.

We are beyond grateful for the care, professionalism, and heart that went into making this celebration so incredibly special. It was everything we hoped for and more. We only wish we could do it all over again!

Thank you for creating such a magical and unforgettable experience. 💕

couldn't have asked for more

Reading all of her and her team's reviews, it is so apparent that Shannon is an absolute pro and is an expert at making what could be one of the hardest processes absolutely stress free.

Tay and I had the exact same experience. From the initial calls, Shannon made you feel like a close friend/family and immediately eased any doubts or stresses about the whole wedding process. We've heard countless stories about people changing their planners during the middle of the process, having terrible venue choices and feel so lucky to have avoided all of that. She and her team are so forward thinking, anticipate any & all issues and have such great vision that allows for ideas to be come reality.

She has become a real friend and we are so lucky for the year+ working with her and her team. We look forward to planning the next event!

Shannon is the best!

Shannon is more than an event planner—she is a confidant, a problem solver, and ultimately a stress reliever. She sets clear expectations and then consistently overdelivers. Shannon is incredibly responsive and quick to solve problems, no matter their scope. She is connected to the very best people and vendors, selecting a team that truly enhanced our entire wedding weekend—some of them are now among my fondest memories. Shannon is also an expert at navigating complex family dynamics with grace and professionalism. After our wedding, guests repeatedly shared how effortlessly the entire weekend ran, creating a perfect experience for everyone in attendance. I couldn’t recommend Shannon and her team highly enough.

The best in the business!!

There are not enough kind words and high praises I could ever write about Shannon and her team. From our very first phone call, through the entire wedding planning process, and even after our wedding day, Shannon made every step seamless and stress-free.

Before anything else, she becomes your friend—someone who is genuinely there to support you throughout the entire journey. Her warmth and enthusiasm made what could have been an overwhelming process feel exciting and manageable. She took the time to truly understand our vision and worked tirelessly to bring it to life in ways that exceeded our wildest expectations.
Shannon is unbelievably attentive to detail and always made us feel like we were her #1 priority, no matter how busy her schedule was. Her responsiveness was incredible—she answered every question, calmed every worry, and anticipated needs we didn't even know we had. There is no request too big for Shannon to handle with grace and expertise, and she has connections and solutions for absolutely everything.

On our wedding day, Shannon and her team ensured that everything ran flawlessly. We were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment because we knew Shannon had everything under control. The day unfolded exactly as we had dreamed, and that peace of mind was priceless.

I've already referred her to five of my friends, who of course also absolutely love her. If you're looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond in every way, treat you like family, and create the wedding of your dreams, Shannon is the one. We couldn't have done it without her!

The perfect wedding planners

These two women and their event planning and design team are absolutely everything you could possibly want and more! To anyone reading this, I know weddings can be overwhelming to navigate and so many factors play into making big decisions like vendors. I for one, was not planning on even entertaining the idea of a wedding planner because I thought I could do it myself. Boy, was I wrong. After just one conversation with them, I knew they were exactly what I needed to help plan, design, execute, and tackle every obstacle I didn’t know I would have. They are warm, committed, optimistic, encouraging and I’m sure I speak for every couple they have worked with when I say that that working with Shannon & Vikki felt as easy, fun, and comfortable as working with close friends. I am in such awe of their poise, creativity, passion, professionalism, vision, exceptional attention to detail and unparalleled commitment to making everything possible. I could sing their praises forever but I don’t need to. Their work speaks for itself and I am so grateful to have been a small part of it.

The Best in the Business

Shannon and Vikki are the best in the business. From our first meeting, they were an absolute joy to work with. They are warm, kind, and thoughtful, and made us feel at ease every step of the way. They took the time to get to know us and were therefore able to suggest vendors they knew we would like, and were able to keep the process exciting, fun, and as stress-free as possible. We were both working very busy jobs during the year leading up to the wedding, and Shannon and Vikki were flexible and made it easy to plan a wedding with our difficult schedules. They kept us organized and were incredibly responsive to all of our questions/concerns, often emailing or calling back within hours to make sure whatever issue was taken care of.

Thanks to their incredible team, we were really able to enjoy the weekend of our wedding and celebrate fully with our family and friends. We felt like we could truly be guests at our own party and not worry that anything was missing—Shannon and Vikki and their team had it all taken care of! We had to make some last-minute changes due to weather. They rearranged everything for a new setting at the very last minute—it was so flawless that none of our guests could tell that this wasn’t our original plan! We were thrilled with the results and it was truly our perfect day.

Other than choosing to marry each other, we can say with confidence that choosing to work with the All You Need is Love team was the best wedding planning decision that we made.

LOVED working with Shannon and Vikki!

I live in Tokyo so we had to plan a destination wedding in LA for about 8 months using Skype, Pinterest, and a web service they use to track all the to do's until the big day. I was blown away by how efficient and thoughtful they were and wedding planning is said to be stressful but thanks to the these two amazing wedding planners, I had nothing but fun and excitement! It was amazing how they put together everything in real life without having to explain everything in detail - they understood everything that I wanted from shared Pinterest boards and our skype sessions. If I were to put together another event, I would definitely reach out to All You Need is Love!!!

Book these ladies immediately! I honestly don't think there would have been a wedding without them. Or perhaps a wedding, but definitely not as great. On the day of they treated my wedding party like family, kept on top of things without feeling over bearing and gently guided us through the day. Leading up to the event they introduced us to amazing vendors, held hands through all our decisions, sat on a LOT of phone calls about really silly details that they thankfully took seriously and did it all with an amazing attitude. The fact that there's two of them-two! means they can divide and conquer, and boy do they. We were so lucky to have them, you would be foolish not to.

I do not know where to start with how wonderful Shannon & Vikki were. They gave us the wedding of our dreams and we could not be happier! Throughout the entire planning process, they went so above and beyond and provided us with unbelievable support, advice, calm and expertise along the way. They know their stuff and gave excellent, thoughtful opinions and advice to ensure all would run smoothly around the big day. Their outstanding attention to detail and ability to seamlessly manage countless moving parts (and personalities!) gave us the best wedding gift of all: the ability to relax and enjoy our wedding day without having to worry about a thing.

Shannon & Vikki got to know us and our vibe, preferences and budget early on in the process, and with that information they effectively and wisely guided us every step of the way. They knew our venue and its employees inside and out, so they were incredibly helpful in getting us great value and helping us make the right choices for our wedding. They sourced vendors that were the best fit for what we were looking for and worked within our budget - whether it was our big reclaimed wood guestbook in the shape of CA, or our outstanding photographer and band, or the gorgeous flowers - and to say we were thrilled with every vendor they hooked us up with is an understatement. Seeing everything come together and feel "so us" seamlessly and organically on our wedding day was an incredible experience and speaks to what pros these gals are.

Most of all, Vikki and Shannon gave us a level of service that took the pain and stress out of planning a wedding. They were very responsive and one of them would email or call me back within hours to ensure all was taken care of. The girls were so encouraging, kind and positive through the process and always kept us (and our parents!) calm. We knew we were in excellent hands with them and I can't thank them enough for making our wedding experience so wonderful. We <3 Shannon & Vikki!

Shannon and Vikki are wedding planners, therapists, friends and partners in crime – true gems! Even though I had a clear vision for my wedding and am very organized, I absolutely cannot imagine my wedding planning process and big day without them. These girls are a special team – they manage to simultaneously be extremely knowledgeable and open to new ideas, confident and down-to-earth, and direct and kind. One of my favorite things about Shannon and Vikki is how quickly and thoroughly they responded to ALL of my questions. They are creative thinkers who are also very practical about how the decisions you make will impact the schedule, feel of the event and budget. As the bride, you get to benefit from their previous experience but also their determination to bring your unique event to life! When it came down to the execution of the wedding day, I couldn’t have asked for more. I totally trusted Shannon and Vikki – we had spent months planning, we had aligned on every last detail and I knew that whatever happened, these girls would be able to handle it. Shannon and Vikki are graceful under pressure and they never stop making you feel like you’re being taken care of – not easy! I am so grateful to Shannon and Vikki for making my wedding even lovelier than I could have imagined!!

Vikki and Shannon were amazing. They met with me multiple times before the day and I knew I was in good hands. They gave me a very detailed, to-the-minute day of schedule. They were in touch with all of my vendors and handled all the walk throughs. The morning of the wedding, Shannon came over to make sure everything was flowing smoothly and according to plan. She also kept an eye on me and my husband all night to make sure we didn't get stuck talking to one person for too long. That was the biggest help of all! She was basically my personal make up assistant the whole night as well. My hair stayed up and my lipstick stayed on the whole night! They were awesome!

Vikki & Shannon truly are the best (not that I have anything to compare them to, but I couldn't imagine any wedding planners doing more)! From the very beginning, even before we hired them, they gave my fiancé and I advice on wedding venues and many other questions we had when we started planning our wedding. I was the kind of bride who wanted to do everything on her own and had very specific ideas on what I wanted, but I knew that I wouldn't be able to relax and really enjoy my wedding without a planner and Shannon & Vikki were the perfect match for me (although I'm sure they're also wonderful for the kind of bride who needs everything done for them, they have awesome ideas) because they took my ideas and showed me how to make them happen and supported me the whole way. This guidance and constant support made us feel so much more at ease during the planning process... especially since neither of us have any family living near us to help.

After we hired Shannon & Vikki we had an initial walk through at our venue (The Bel Air Bay Club in Pacific Palisades, California) and they really helped us bring our vision to life. As the year went on they were always very quick to reply to my emails, even just my "stressed out bride" rants and worries, always calming me down right away.

The day of the wedding, Shannon & Vikki were amazing, they made sure everything ran smoothly and kept everyone at ease. They did an incredible job making sure the vendors were where they needed to be and made our wedding day a huge success. There was even an issue with one of our vendors after the wedding that they made sure to make right, even though they didn't have to.

Our wedding day really was a beautiful, magical, perfect day... we couldn't have done it without All You Need is Love Events! Thank you so much ladies!

Vikki and Shannon played an integral role in the best day of our lives -- you simply can't do better than these bright, professional, fun ladies! From the big strokes to the small, they steered us perfectly through the maze of planning a big event, and on the day-of, my husband and I were able to relax, knowing the day was in great hands. A couple examples: Our tables each had "altar" centerpieces, a painting surrounded by shabby chic items (beads, candles, shells, etc). Because our wedding was outdoors, these paintings couldn't be set up until right before the event began, meaning my husband and I would have to rely entirely on Vikki and Shannon to put together the major visual element of the big day. We'd put enormous work into putting these together, and if it'd gone awry, it would've been a huge disappointment. Not to worry! Vikki and Shannon oversaw this complicated and delicate task with intelligence and taste, following our instructions and furthering our vision with their own fantastic aesthetic taste. I got comments on the altars all night long.

This is just a small snapshot of the personal, welcoming, impeccable care they provide. They work to understand you and what you want, guide you in areas where you're inexperienced, and they never let the stress show, helping keep the atmosphere upbeat and excited, just like it should be. Plus, they're just two cool people who immediately felt like friends. This is who you want on your team -- we can't thank them enough.

Shannon and Vicki were absolutely incredible. They were super fun to work with and lifesavers the day of. They are responsive, thorough and lovely! I honestly could not have done it without them. They helped me navigate all of my crazy ideas and made my wedding dreams come true. They always saw the bigger picture, but never let any details slip. I had several last minute freak outs (vendor issues, guest issues) and they walked me through all of them. They kept track all of my contracts and payments during the planning and on the day of they made sure that everything ran smoothly. Not only are they awesome at what they do, but they are also just really cool women who you'd totally want around on the most important day of your life. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about them. They were hands down one of the best decisions my husband and I made concerning our wedding.

The wonderful Vikki and Shannon from All You Need Is Love coordinated my friends wedding last July, and as soon as I got engaged, they were the first call I made! These ladies made every step so easy, and really helped ease all my planning stress. They were super quick to respond to all my emails and questions, and made sure all my vendor contracts were A-OK before I signed. On the day of my wedding, I knew I could just hand everything over to them and enjoy my day! I was so calm and happy on my wedding day, mostly because I had these two behind the scenes making sure everything went to plan. From handling vendor arrivals and deliveries, making sure we were sticking to the timeline, getting us all in the right place at the right time, and setting up all the decor items, I really could not have made our day happen without Vikki, Shannon and their assistant, Molly!

We also used their in house florist, Valerie, who took my vision and brought it to life even better than I ever expected. All of our florals were absolutely stunning.

All the ladies from All You Need Is Love Events are super friendly and professional, and they know what they are doing.

Thank you so much, ladies, for making our big day dreams come true!

I have to start by disclosing that I was sadly not able to use All You Need for my upcoming wedding (though I wanted to more than anything!). You're probably asking why on earth am I then writing a review. Well, I went pretty far along in the process with Vikki and Shannon and cannot say enough AMAZING things about them. Immediately when I first talked to Vikki on the phone I received direct no-nonsense answer to my (million) questions. I was constantly wowed by not only the girls' awesome personalities, but how down-to-earth and knowledgeable they are!

I was sold from the start on these two. However, the venue that I am having my wedding only had limited dates available. These limited dates paired with the unavailability of some of my bridesmaids (who are also getting married next summer) made it so that only one date worked for the wedding party (if we wanted to have the wedding outside while it was still warm). Sadly, the girls were already booked for that date and -- while I actually did go back and forth -- I saldy had to forego All You Need so that the friends closest to us could make the big day.

While I am of course still looking forward to wedding planning, I can tell you from my own experience in hours of research that the girls at All You Need is Love are hands down the best out there! I have been able to meet with many great planners, but none of them have come close to Vikki/Shannon. Snatch these girls up while you can!

Vikki, Shannon, & Molly are incredible. I worked with them for 12 months planning our wedding. They were there for me every step of the way. The respond to emails immediately. They have great contacts & advice. They are super organized, have great taste, and know what they are doing. They are fun & their chemistry is great. They executed the day of perfectly & I did not have to worry about a thing. I was a planner myself for 4 years & can be critical but this awesome team blew my mind. I cannot recommend them enough! I love you girls!

Vikki, Shannon and their team made our October wedding at the Bel-Air Bay Club the most amazing experience we could ever have imagined. From our first meeting, they were organized and responsive, and took the time to get to know us before we ever started talking about details. Anytime we contacted them, we had a response by the end of the same day. And when we unexpectedly moved to the East Coast just a few months before our wedding, I really wasn't worried because I knew that I had them to rely on. Finally - a testament to their quality of service...after the wedding, we had one lingering issue to clear up which was difficult due to the fact that we are now living on the East Coast. Vikki & Shannon did everything they could do for 3 months after our actual wedding date to help us resolve the issue. They didn't have to do that, their contract was over, but they are true professionals, and great people. We without a doubt, absolutely recommend them. Any bride and groom would be lucky to have All You Need is Love Events on their team.

Shannon and Vikki were AMAZING!! They did an excellent job and I would highly recommend them. We chose the day of service, but they were still there every step of the way, answering all of my questions and giving advice. They get back to your emails right away, which was huge. Waiting days for responses was something I found very frustrating about other vendors we used. But Shannon and Vikki ALWAYS responded right away. Also they took over the week of the wedding, which actually let me relax and enjoy those days leading up to the event. They were incredible and I am so happy we worked with them.

Shannon and Vikki are a dream. They are incredibly responsive--usually replying to emails and calls within minutes--and really make you feel like you are their only client. Not only that, but they have the ability to translate your wants and wishes into reality by sitting you down and helping you figure out where your priorities are and how to get the most for your budget. Thanks to them, my wedding was absolutely perfect! They are two of the sweetest, most informative ladies you'll ever meet and absolutely crucial on the day of. I would recommend them to anyone.

What can I say about Vikki and Shannon. They are seriously the greatest wedding planners out there. I know I am biased, since they planned my wedding, but from the beginning they just seemed in tune with what we wanted for our wedding. Neither of us wanted a bigger wedding, but my parents insisted on more than just a courthouse ceremony and dinner after. With that in mind, Shannon and Vikki helped us put together a wedding for 130 people, that felt more like 30 people! There was no fuss or complication that I hear go along with weddings of more than 100 people. Everything ran so smoothly from start to finish and people had such a good time. It was perfect.
Vikki and Shannon were not just wonderful the day of, but were there for us every step of the way. Every question we had, they answered. Every road block, they had ideas and solutions. The vendors we used were 100% from their recommendation, and all the vendors were beyond what we were looking for. I think that says a lot, quality people surround themselves with quality and professional people. Mike and I cannot say enough about All You Need Is Love and will recommend them to everyone. Such a breath of fresh air to have people that love what they do, do a great job and have a great attitude doing it. 
On the day of the wedding, we had one problem, our big drinking guests drank us out of Vodka and white wine 2 hours into the reception. This is an amazing feet given the amount of alcohol was available. Before it ran out, the ladies saw the potential problem and immediately went and bought enough for the rest of the ceremony. Crisis averted. This is what a good planner does! See the potential problem and get it done. These ladies really get it done
Finally, I must also recommend Valerie Pang, who is a DIY florist that works with All You Need Is Love. From the beginning, I knew Valerie and I were going to work great together. I loved her look and style for my backyard wedding. Just incredible!

The girls at All You Need is Love Events are all you need for wedding planners. They are amazing from start to finish. As a self proclaimed control freak I thought I could do it all myself. After realizing the amount of DIY stuff was just too much for me, the girls at All You Need came in a helped me out big time. The day of ran smoothly, and all of the vendors (they recommended) were fabulous to work with, and Vikki handled everything but also kept me in the loop because she knew my control issues would not just disappear. It was a fabulous day that I know could not have been executed so perfectly without these girls. I highly recommend them!

Vikki and Shannon with All You Need Is Love Events were the most important vendors we hired and we are so glad we did. From our very first meeting they made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and listened to. They were able to grasp our vision and guide us in the right direction in terms of other vendors to choose, costs, and various ideas/recommendations. They were always available for us to call and email and responded within minutes to any question or concern we had. Above all things, they were the reason we were so calm on the wedding day. We knew that everything would go as planned because it was in their hands...which it did! The day was perfect and everything we dreamed it would be. I will refer them over and over again. Any bride & groom would be lucky to have them as planners!!

Hands down the BEST decision made throughout the entire wedding process was hiring All You Need Is Love Events as our wedding planners. They are simply amazing and I feel so very lucky to have found them. We started working with these girls about a year before our wedding and I never once felt as if they had any clients other than myself. They made my wedding day the best day of my life and more than I could have ever imagined. They helped to make our wedding unique and very fitting to our personalities. The day itself can be a very stressful day as there is a lot going on, especially for the bride, but I can honestly say that there was not one stressful moment in the entire day. They had everything under control and were ready for anything. With our down to the minute layout, everything flowed so perfectly. I don't feel that every bride has the luxury of a stressless, relaxing day but I do feel that if you hire these gals that is exactly what you will get. All You Need Is Love Events will make your day everything you have ever dreamed of.

What do I say about the most amazing wedding coordinators I have ever worked with?? I work for a 5 diamond resort and have over a decade of event planning experience. All You Need Is Love Events exceeded ALL of my expectations and then some. I shared my vision with them and was a very DIY bride which meant they had to set all of my crafty projects up for me on the day of. I literally cried when I saw the reception space.. it was everything I dreamed of and MORE! They did such a fantastic job, the entire evening went according to plan and was seamlessly orchestrated. They are such lovely ladies to work with and I recommend them to everyone! We cannot thank them enough for coordinating the most amazingly special day of our lives. We are still getting text messages and emails from friends and family about how everything was absolutely perfect!!!!

These girls are a godsend. No joke. I would give them 10 stars if the rating system allowed. The whole process with them was easy, comfortable, professional, and I am happy to say that I have two new friends in Vikki and Shannon. They were always easy to get in touch with, offered valuable information throughout the planning process without EVER being pushy or concerned with what option would be easier for them. They wrangled our wedding party of 20 people (20 PEOPLE!!) on the day-of for a myriad of things without being bossy, dealt with some very poor behavior from a family member gracefully (and kept it to themselves - I found out how rudely they had been treated from someone else - so professional). Basically, it would have been a sh*t show without them, and the few little things that did go wrong (brides - things are going to go wrong, no matter how much you plan), they kept away from me so that I was fully able to enjoy the day as the wonderful, magical, memorable day it should be (and was!). I adore these girls, and you will to. I promise.

Shannon and Vikki (and Molly) of All You Need is Love Events made my wedding day exceptional and seamless - I truly don't know what I would have done without them. They are professional, warm, and calm, and brought order to a chaotic day.

Among their many advantages:
+ They operate as a team. This means that when you contact them with a question, one of them responds virtually immediately - they are always available to patiently answer questions. It also means that they personally oversee everything the day of your wedding - one of them is making sure the vendors are getting everything set up correctly, while the other is always near the bride and groom to make sure everything is running smoothly. This team-based approach is rare - we met with other coordinators who bring an assistant that you've never met before, but with Shannon and Vikki, you are dealing with them both from the planning start to the final dance of the evening.

+ They "get it" - if you tell them you're not into a frilly wedding and you prefer something simple, they understand and help you hone and carry out your vision.

+ Their personal touches elevate them to a whole different level. They don't just do their job - they go above and beyond. They exceeded every expectation we had. Several guest at our wedding commented on how professional they were and how effortless everything seemed (because of them!)

Simply put, Shannon and Vikki are exceptional at what they do - when you combine their team approach with their personal touches, the result is excellence and an unforgettable event. Worth every penny. If you are looking for a coordinator, stop looking and just hire Shannon and Vikki - you won't regret it.

We can’t say enough wonderful things about All You Need is Love Events. If you are looking for the perfect balance of organization and inspiration for your wedding then Vikki and Shannon are the girls for you! From the moment we met Vikki and Shannon we felt an overwhelming sense of calmness as we talked through the vision for our wedding. They listened attentively and gave creative ideas when we weren’t quite sure which direction we wanted. Every email and phone call were answered within 24 hours, making us feel like we were the only couple they were working with. We never felt like they were too busy to answer our questions or offer support during the stress of wedding planning.
They took care of everything at our reception, from setup to timing to cleaning up at the end of night. Vikki and Shannon made sure we always had a drink, ate, and most importantly would remind us of when a big moment during the reception was coming up so that we weren’t scrambling to get to where we needed to be. Our parents were so impressed with their professionalism and loved that they were also given friendly reminders about the big moments. My husband and I were able to enjoy our wedding without any worry of what might go wrong. In our eyes everything was perfect because Vikki, Shannon and their team always stayed one step ahead, probably even 3 steps ahead, of all our vendors.
After the wedding was over, I thought “What am I going to do without All You Need Is Love?” They truly are the best coordinators because they don’t treat you like a client they treat you like family!

Shannon and Vikki provided day of coordination for me at a difficult wedding venue, The Adamson House in Malibu (ie. tons of rules). From day one of the wedding planning process, they were happy to help with any questions that came up and provided great suggestions and solutions along the way. The actual wedding day went perfectly, so I couldn't have been any happier with their work. To top it off, they are an absolute pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend them to anyone!

I met Vikki in a nail salon and automatically felt like I was in good hands. We clicked immediately and I felt a great energy between us. I knew that if she wasn’t going to be my wedding planner, I needed her to at least be my new best friend- she is wonderful! When Tyler and I met with Shannon and Vikki for our first meeting, it was like every idea that we had, they had a way to enhance it and make it more meaningful and cohesive as well as bring in other great ideas that would work well with our personalities. We were all genuinely on the same page and it was so refreshing to be working with people who truly cared about our wedding!

To say that our experience with All You Need is Love was perfection is an understatement. Vikki and Shannon are the dream team when it comes to weddings- constantly there for you when you freak out at 7 in the morning, always there with advice, suggestions, or a pep talk! They were wonderful during the planning process, helping me with the details you don't think of when planning a wedding- rentals, transportation, lighting- who knew!? THEY DID!

My wedding day was absolutely PERFECT. I never had to worry for a minute because they were always 5 steps in front of me. Their care and sincerity is evident in everything they do. They truly have an eye, and a heartfelt passion for weddings that they bring to your special day.

If you are working with All You Need Is Love Events, your wedding is in the best hands possible.

Shannon and Vikki of All You Need Is Love Events came to me heartily recommended by a coworker, and I couldn't be happier with my decision to hire these fantastic ladies! Honestly, I wasn't planning to hire wedding coordinators but as the final month approached my (now) husband and I became too overwhelmed with our full-time jobs to handle all of the last-minute insanity that comes with pulling together such a massive life event. And I couldn't figure out how I was going to get my hair and make-up done AND set up everything at the venue. In stepped Vikki and Shannon, who simply saved us. Beyond being hyper-organized and clearly knowing what they're doing, Vikki and Shannon are super-personable - warm, sweet, and funny.

Even though we hired them as "day of" coordinators, Shannon and Vikki immediately began to corral the vendors and track down any delinquents (you would think the rental company would WANT to send an invoice for payment - we certainly wanted to ensure we had place settings!). We didn't have a florist selected and they recommended a fantastic and reasonably priced vendor, walked through our inspiration boards with her, and took it from there - and the arrangements? Absolutely gorgeous. When we began to fret about what to tip each vendor, they sent us a tipping guide at our request. They made themselves available for each and every meeting we had with our vendors and helped us ask all the right questions to ensure our day would go exactly as we wished. Throughout the process, they were always clear that they were all about bringing to life whatever WE wanted, and were great at making suggestions based on our sometimes half-baked ideas.

And on the big day? They were simply fabulous. We had a bit of a non-traditional wedding with lots of arts and crafts, and Vikki and Shannon set everything up beautifully before we even arrived. They kept everyone on schedule and I didn't need to worry about a thing. Vikki ensured I always had a drink in my hand if I wanted one, and Shannon helped us perfectly manage a bit of a hiccup when one of our elderly guests had a medical mishap.

I cannot recommend All You Need Is Love Events enough. If you're planning a wedding, these ladies are simply the best money you could spend.

Vikki and Shannon were amazing! From the first meeting, we felt that they understood our vision of our wedding as well as how to make it happen. They gave us many suggestions for vendors as well as cool event ideas that went along with the vibe we were trying to achieve.

During the weeks leading up to the wedding they took everything off our plates, and this allowed us to just have fun and be with the people visiting from out of town rather than worrying about last minute details.

The day of the wedding was practically stress-free and we were able to enjoy every moment. Our guests were taken care of, the place looked beautiful, things were carried out just as we asked, and we were even delivered our favorite cocktail when we arrived back from the post-ceremony photos!

All-in-all, these women are professional, have great taste, listen to you, and can be trusted to make your day just the way you want it. We are so grateful that All You Need Is Love was there for us!

To be honest, I didn't think I needed a wedding planner at first, but our wedding venue required at least a day-of coordinator. Luckily we got hooked up with the wonderful Vikki and Shannon, who are absolutely worth every cent. Here's why:

You hear a lot of nightmares about scary, controlling wedding coordinators that impose their will on your wedding, but these ladies are the exact opposite. From the beginning they made sure everything was all about me and my groom and making sure it was our dream wedding, not theirs.

They were always super flexible (driving an hour each way to meet with us at our venue), responded seemingly instantly to any desperate last-minute e-mails, were great about sending deadline reminders and providing inspiration, suggestions, and lots of support when it came to details for our event.

And that was all before the actual wedding. When it came to our big day, these ladies outdid themselves. Of course they ran the ceremony and corralled all our vendors, and made sure all the bridal party was where they were supposed to be. But where they just made our day was how they took care of every conceivable detail that as a bride you can't even imagine will come up: they'll keep track of your purse, make sure you eat, appear out of nowhere to bring you a perfectly timed drink refill--in my case, lots of water-- make sure all your vendors are paid that day, and much much more.

I've only done one wedding now, but the band we hired (who has done hundreds of weddings) put it best: They told us that the women at All You Need Is Love are flat out the best wedding coordinators they've ever worked with.

Working with the FABULOUS girls at All You Need Is Love has given me a new-found appreciation for talented, creative, and down to earth professionals in the world of weddings. I began this process with no real direction or idea of how I "envisioned" our wedding day to be. After all is said and done, I can tell you that- with the help of Vicky and Shannon throughout the months of planning- I wasvoffered direction, support, ideas- all of which helped create a vision of how I wanted our wedding celebration to be. What is so unique about Shannon and Vicky is their comprehensive and individualistic approach. In our situation, we were starting from scratch... and Shannon narrowed down choices for venues, exploring places that she thought would match our styles (and budgets), all the while saving us time and stress of narrowing down our choices.
Once we found the venue, Shannon met us in Santa Barbara and helped develop a personalized outline- thinking of all the details that had not even crossed my mind up until that point (but DEFINITELY would have crossed my mind during the wedding if they had not been addressed).

The help didn't stop from there! From wedding dress feed-back, fabulous recommendations for make-up and photography (the preferred vendors list is amazing) , to basic etiquette tips, Shannon and Vicky have provided me the organization and structure to make decisions that I feel good about (with no second guessing).

Probably my favorite feature of All You Need is Love comes down to this: accessibility and personalty. Truly, I can't say enough about the friendly, casual, yet extremely professional manner of Shannon and Vicky. For me, balancing wedding planning and work has been a challenge... and without the help of All You Need is Love- probably impossible. I find that I work in different speeds- either wedding speed (full speed ahead) or work speed (which is very slow and not really focused on wedding). All You Need is Love works on both speeds......they are ALWAYS available when you have questions, want to bounce ideas OR need structure. There "no pressure" approach, with helpful little reminders or suggestions as allowed me to enjoy planning our wedding.
As for the actual "day of" services... this is where they take their service to the next level. Again, striking the perfect balance of taking charge (when needed), while at the same time, creating a calm, casual, and most importantly, comfortable atmosphere, these girls handled everything. Organizing venders, organizing family members/guests, and organizing YOU, are all things they are great with! Put simply, the moment they arrived at the hotel, I didn't worry about one single thing. They managed it all.... with great poise and style. I can't say enough good things about All You Need is Love. They are fantastic!

Thank you so much All You Need Is Love Events!

Shannon and Vikki were amazing. I honestly can't imagine my wedding without them! Definitely worth every penny. From our very first meeting until they tucked me into the car home fromthe wedding (after ensuring my alarm was set to wake us up for the honeymoon!), they brought a sense of professionalism, creativity, and thoughtfulness. 5 stars is not enough!

I went to college with Vikki of All You Need is Love Events and saw through Facebook that she had gotten into wedding coordinating. I interviewed several other wedding planners, but once I talked to Vikki & Shannon I knew right away they were the ones for us. Since we had the wedding reception at my parents’ house I knew it would be a big undertaking for any coordinator. At the initial meeting at the house, we walked to property and they gave us great advice and tips. Throughout the planning process, they were always quick to respond to my emails. They even found us a great deal on mason jars and cute straws! In deciding to have the wedding on my parent’s property, I didn’t want my family or friends to have to help out the day of, during or after the wedding and in hiring AYNIL Events nobody did. We hired more vendors than most do, but they handled it with ease and made sure everything ran smoothly and efficiently. I really cannot thank Vikki and Shannon and their assistants enough for making our wedding spectacular. We received such positive feedback from our guests and I truly believe it is due in large part to all of their hard work. I highly recommend AYNIL and thank them for helping start out our new life beautifully!

From day one, Shannon and Vikki went above and beyond my expectations! We signed up for "day-of" services but they did SO much more than that. They would answer my emails instantly and answer all my nit-picky questions, and gave very thorough advice. They would check in on me regularly to make sure I was on track and feeling good with my planning.

On our wedding day, they were right by me all day. I didn't feel an ounce of stress because I knew they would be able to handle everything. Everything went smoothly and the guests had a fantastic time, all thanks to Shannon and Vikki.

I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Shannon and Vikki to my closest friends and family. They are a professional, hardworking, friendly, and trustworthy pair of women. I promise - you want these girls on your team!
