    Stephanie is your GAL!!!

    Stephanie was so amazing for our special day! She was our day of coordinator, but she went above & beyond for us! She handled our last minute venue change (due to a flood) a week & half before our wedding with so much grace & calmness. We couldn't have asked for someone better! Any issues day of wedding she took care of without me even finding out! She will take all the stress away from you & that is exactly what you need for your special day! Book her, you wont regret it!

    Thank you Rachel!! Love you and your family! It was such an honor to help you plan and create your best day ever!!

    Best day ever 11.04.23

    Stephanie was amazing. My husband and I were so happy we chose to work with her. We decided to do a day-of-coordinator as our venue required a planner. We had monthly meetings with her and she always made us feel at ease when the meeting ended. Stephanie is very personable, a great listener, and goes out of her way for you. I had a vision of what I wanted I just didn't know how to relay it to her and she knew exactly what it is I wanted. She had great recommendations for vendors and so glad we trusted her on everything. I can't thank her enough for making mine and my husband's the BEST DAY EVER. Thank you so much Stephanie and Cris for an amazing day.

    Stephanie is great to work with!

    I was referred to Stephanie because she was my florist's favorite wedding planner:) Stephanie helped my husband and I figure out our vision in the year leading up to the big day and was flexible when our minds changed month to month (and when our guest count doubled from 40 to almost 80!)
    She recommended other great vendors, and had a lot of ideas, things we never even thought about. She has a great collection of decor and if you need something else, she knows where to find it.
    She was so helpful reaching out to anyone I needed and provided some good emotional support when my dress didn't fit a month before lol.
    On the day of, she went above and beyond for anything we needed and made sure everything went smoothly.

    Excellent experience with Stephanie!

    Stephanie was very professional and super helpful! She made our day flow so smoothly and I can’t thank her enough. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. She brought everything back to our room safely, ensured our room was turned over before we got back and had the cake packaged up with our florals to enjoy for the duration of our stay. I highly recommend Stephanie! We were so fortunate to have her part of our day!

    Amazing to work with, highly recommended!

    We cannot thank Stephanie enough for how much she helped us throughout our wedding planning process. At first, we were going to go without an official coordinator, rather just family help. But we decided to hire Stephanie and thank God we did.

    Her organization skills are top notch. She took control of everything we needed her to run with, and she did awesome. Her correspondence and availability to emails and calls was amazing. She ALWAYS made herself available to us, even with her busy life with her kids, which we found amazing.

    To top it off, we had quite the wedding day emergency (alcohol delivery was cancelled), but Stephanie took the reins, made multiple trips to Costco and the grocery store and saved the day from that whole debacle.

    We are so lucky to have had Stephanie as our coordinator, thank you so much for everything you did for us!!

    Unprecedented ease

    Where do we even start with this incredible woman…?! We can confidently say that we would not have had a wedding were it not for Stephanie’s incredible talents. From day one she was extremely easy to work with and accommodating. Every request we had she rolled with and made absolutely perfect. Planning was a breeze, we didn’t even realize we were supposed to be super stressed out thanks to her guiding hand.

    The day of went off without a hitch and she had every detail nailed down. We cannot recommend her highly enough! 👸🏻

    Thank you so so much Nikki and Jon! Loved working with you and celebrating with the most epic First Dance ever. Congrats again!!

    Stephanie is a wonder!

    As the bride, I tried to take on the wedding planning myself and realized three months out that it was too much for me to take on alone. We interviewed with a couple of coordinators and it just clicked with Stephanie. The first thing I noticed about her was how organized she was and how well she remembers all the details! Stephanie was also a great communicator and helped to contact all vendors and keep everyone on the same page. With her many years of experience in events she was able to offer very valuable input where needed but was never pushy and helped me to create the vision that I wanted. Her professionalism and her ability to stay on top of things allowed me to really enjoy the weeks and days leading up to my wedding stress free. On our wedding day she took care of everything and the day flowed so smoothly and beautifully! I would rate her higher than 5 stars if it were possible. Thanks so much Stephanie you were a charm to work with!

    Stephanie is amazing!

    Simply put, Stephanie is the best! She was an amazing support and we can't thank her enough for helping us make our perfect day. We chose her Wedding Day package.

    Her knowledge of vendors helped us pick an all-star team that worked extremely well together. Having check-in calls and Stephanie to keep us on track really helped us make sure we were covered. She helped us pull everything together and was great in getting all of the vendors aligned on the plan for the day.

    Having Stephanie be the contact the day of the wedding was amazing because we didn't have to worry about the vendors and we knew we could trust her to handle things that came up. It really helped us be present during our big day - it's hard to imagine doing it without her.

    In addition to her being an awesome planner, she is just an awesome person. We had a great time planning with her and are so grateful for all of her time!

    So glad we hired them!

    I am so glad we hired Stephanie and her team for our wedding!! After doing most of the planning ourselves, we knew we needed someone to run the show during our wedding. After bringing Stephanie onboard, my anxiety lessened and I was able to enjoy myself. Stephanie and her team were friendly and professional. Her planning tools helped keep us on track and her day of coordination allowed us to focus on each other and our guests instead of all the details. I would definitely recommend Stephanie and her team for anyone panning a wedding and/or needing day of wedding coordination.

    Absolutely the best help for our wedding!

    We were thrilled to have decided to choose Stephanie at Best Day Ever Weddings + Events as our wedding coordinator for our San Diego wedding last month. With the help of Ashley, our on-site coordinator, the ceremony and reception at Tom Ham's Lighthouse were absolutely flawless.

    Stephanie seamlessly organized the master timeline in the week leading up to our wedding, complete with all the details, which we were able to distribute to our wedding party and close family. We had several meetings with Stephanie in the weeks leading up to our wedding and discussed all the details with much-needed feedback. We attribute the execution of all the small details to Stephanie and Ashley, with signage and additional floral setup.

    Ashley, boots on the ground, eased every worry and stress we had leading up to the ceremony and reception. I cannot express my gratitude enough! Many thanks to Ashley for her sweet demeanor and smiles throughout the entire evening. As a bride, it could not have been a more perfect event!

    This review is overdue, and I highly recommend Stephanie and her team to any couple looking to have their "best day ever" because we certainly did!

    Great co-ordinator and great value!

    We found Stephanie on our venue's recommended vendors list, and we're so happy we did. While Stephanie was our month-of coordinator, she had calls with us every month to stay on top of the planning process and understand exactly what our vision was. As our wedding approached, she helped us finalize our timeline and was our liaison with our other vendors. When it came to the day of the wedding, Stephanie took care of so many little details. From set-up to send-off Stephanie was a lifesafer and allowed us to enjoy the party without having to worry about the details.

    Best Day Ever Weddings + Events's reply:

    Thanks Nicole!! It was such a pleasure to help you plan your Best Day Ever! I'll miss our monthly/weekly chats. I keep you in my daily prayers, thank you for dedicating your life to healing children and their families. =)) Congratulations again!

    Hiring Stephanie as our Day Of Coordinator for our wedding in Julian this month was hands down the best decision we made in the wedding planning process. We could not have done it without her! Even though we hired her only for day-of, she was helpful throughout the entire process. She recommended vendors who were great, and was always quick to answer any questions we had. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she helped us get all of the little details figured out and organized. Wedding planning can be so overwhelming, especially at a venue where so much is DIY and Stephanie made sure nothing was forgotten. When we got to our wedding day, she made sure everything went smoothly and created a dream wedding for me and my husband. She made it so we didn't have to stress about a single thing on our wedding day, which is how it should be! When I walked in to our reception area I was blown away by how beautiful everything was set up, with minimal direction from me. I couldn't have dreamed it any better! At the end of the night she made sure everything was cleaned and pack up so we didn't have anything to worry about the next day. I really couldn't recommend any wedding vendor more than Stephanie. If you have any doubts about whether or not to get a coordinator or planner, I would say it is worth every penny and more!

    Thank you so so much for this sweet review Morgan!! I absolutely loved working with you, Morgan and all your friends and family. It was a beautiful day, full of love. Congratulations again, and please do keep in touch!

    We would give Stephanie and her team 10 stars if we could. We are so thankful for Stephanie as she helped us plan our wedding in San Diego while we were across the country in NYC, all in 5 months. We first met with her during our menu/cake tasting where we were immediately impressed by how prepared she was, her thoughtful and pointed questions, and that she quickly came to understand what was important to us for our wedding. During our wedding weekend, she and her team took care of everything, including assembling centerpieces, referring an fabulous hair and makeup team, recommending a talented florist, keeping our entire wedding party in line, coordinating with vendors, set up, and clean up- across two days of events.

    We were particularly struck by Stephanie's professionalism, efficiency with time and money, creativity, and thoughtfulness. She also made us feel so special by surprising us with light up balloons and glow sticks at the end of our reception during New Year’s Eve!

    At the end of the weekend, Stephanie also helped us donate our flowers and other wedding items to local organizations. We absolutely loved working with Stephanie and are so appreciative of all she did for us on our wedding weekend. We enthusiastically recommend her for your wedding!

    As a photographer, it's always hard to tell if you'll be able to sync up with a wedding planner, but Stephanie was fantastic to work with. She was on top of everything and kept us on schedule, making the day run smoother for the couple.

    First and foremost, there are no words to explain how happy and thankful my now husband and I are with Best Day Ever Events. Huge thanks to one of my bridesmaids for referring us to Stephanie. Our wedding was nothing short of perfection. I foolishly tried to plan the wedding on my own (while losing my mind) and thanks to Stephanie I could relax, knowing everything was going to be taken care of and done right. Not only does Stephanie have great taste and ideas, she is also very knowledgeable and connected to vendors. She completely took over all negotiations and scheduling to the point that all we had to do was sign on the dotted line. On the day of our wedding because of Stephanie all I had to worry about was looking my best. She was also amazing when it came to keeping my family and the wedding party on time (which is no easy task). Stephanie also went above and beyond with stepping up and helping in every aspect to save us money where we could as well as keeping us on if not under budget. I will most definitely without a doubt refer her to everyone I know. She is Wonder Woman in our eyes. I can't THANK Stephanie and Best Day Ever Events enough for the perfect wedding!!!!

    With great thanks,
    Alex and Kimberly Schmidt

    Stephanie did an amazing job coordinating our wedding- she kept us on track with both the big tasks and the little ones, made great suggestions for vendors and the floorplan/event schedule, kept in touch with all the vendors, and helped so much with the ridiculous amount of DIY decor that I was doing (flowers, signs, centerpieces, lights, draping, lanterns)- I wouldn't have been able to pull it off without her, especially the setup and the cleanup. I gave her vague ideas of what might go where, and she made it look AMAZING! And during the wedding and reception, from my view of things, everything went perfectly, which is what you want- I didn't have to worry about anything. I can't recommend her enough. Thanks Stephanie!! :)

    Hi Sarah!! Thank you soo much for this stellar review. I absolutely loved helping you with the geeky details of your wedding, and getting to know both yours and Santiago's family. I wish you both the absolute best, and I cannot wait to see you again soon! =) XOXO

    When I Best Day Ever Weddings was referred to me, I had no idea at the time how VERY much I needed this woman in my life! I had never put on a wedding let alone for the most important young lady in my entire LIFE, my daughter.
    Two words.
    Stress free - that is just the beginning of what Stephanie @ Best Day Ever Weddings provided us! My daughter's wedding was so beautiful, no stress, and everyone - literally every guest - had an amazing time. Every aspect of the wedding down to the smallest detail was looked over, planned, and facilitated by Stephanie. One might have thought I would have been a neurotic mess on the wedding day – NOPE. ALL was handled. Smooth. Professional. Best of all – my daughter, her husband, and myself ALL got to FULLY enjoy this tremendously important and blessed day.

    Stephanie is genuinely kind, helpful, and she made fantastic suggestions for vendors! I couldn't be happier with how everything went from the rehearsal to the wedding reception to clean up the next day!! She goes over and above - simply stated we all feel tremendously blessed to have come across this lovely lady and her services.

    Stephanie is amazing. My wife and I had a backyard wedding, and she made everything so easy. From coordinating with all of the vendors, to setting up her own hand-made decorations, she was incredibly helpful. We even made multiple changes on the location of the actual ceremony, and she was very flexible and addaptive. We couldn't have done it without her.

Thank you!!

    Stephanie was a pleasure to work with. She was extremely thorough with all details, and, anticipated things happening before they actually did.

    Stephanie was the key to my not panicking on my wedding-so worth it!

    Best Day Ever Weddings + Events's reply:

    Thank you so much for being such an easy-going bride! I love multi-location weddings (church ceremony, and a cocktail hour / reception elsewhere) - and yours was absolutely beautiful. =) Sending you and John my love and wishing you all the best in the future to come!
