    Experts in the Industry - And Kind!

    Creative Affairs is an expert in the wedding and event industry in San Diego. I spoke directly with Amanda regarding the several properties they work with, and she quickly got right to the heart and spirit of each venue, making it easy to parse out what would fit best. In the end, we needed to go a different direction, and Amanda was extremely kind and helpful. She told me about venues we'd never heard of, and fit our budget. Thanks to Amanda, we found my sister's DREAM wedding location. I highly recommend Creative Affairs.

    Can't thank Creative Affairs team on their professionalism and knowledgable help.

    From the first phone call with Amanda at Creative Affairs we knew we had hired an extremely Knowledgable and professional team. Every aspect and questions we had was addressed. The wedding night went off perfect and the few small problems that arose at the venue were quickly and quietly taken care of by the Creative Affairs team. My wife, her parents and my parents sailed thorough the evening stress free. I can't recommend Creative Affairs enough.

    All the help i needed from planning to the big day!!

    We loved working with Creative Affairs. Amanda made us feel comfortable from the start and we knew it would be a good fit. Dana was our planner and she really helped make my vision come to life. Gave a ton of recommendations on vendors, decor, and all around how to plan a wedding! She made us feel so comfortable in the process leading up to the big day. Going back and forth with the vendors, making sure contracts and invoices were set, making diagrams...everything! She was so accommodating on all of my last-minute changes and relaying everything to the vendors. On our wedding day Dana was on top of it all and kept us at ease during our wedding making sure we were taken care of and anything we asked of her. Everyone said it was the best wedding they had ever been to!!

    Best in San Diego! Professional, Responsive and Attentive!

    Look no further! Amanda and her team are the best of the best! Their response time from initial inquiry paired with the attentiveness throughout the entire planning process and on our wedding day, made it the most memorable, stress free, best day of our lives! From my initial call with Amanda I knew I would be taken care of, and she and her team went above and beyond. If you are looking for a wedding planning team that will go the extra mile with attention to (every little) detail, patience, professionalism and kindness- then you have found your match!

    Best decision we made for our wedding!

    Miranda and the whole Creative Affairs team were so wonderful in helping coordinate our wedding. Leading up to the big day Miranda was always available for a call and super responsive to texts. She recommended many of the wonderful vendors we ended up hiring as well! She even helped us find décor rentals and went above and beyond to pick them up for us before the wedding and drop them off after the wedding since we don't live in the area. The day of the wedding felt so effortless and my now husband Shawn and I really got to focus on being present and enjoy our big day! Our guests even commented on how lovely Miranda and her team were. Hiring Creative Affairs was honestly the best decision we made for our wedding and we cannot recommend Miranda and the Creative Affairs team enough!

    Creative Affairs Inc.'s reply:

    Thank you Meagan & Shawn. You both were a pleasure to work with and we are grateful that you choose our team. Congratulations again!

    Amazing experience from start to finish

    We used Creative Affairs for our wedding coordination in April. We had previously hired a different company that wasn't a good fit and then met with Amanda and loved her and her team. We booked with Amanda and Caitlyn was our coordinator for the months leading up to it. Talk about a night and day experience of working with Creative Affairs vs. the previous vendor. Both Amanda and Caitlyn were organized, took notes, listened to our wants and concerns and guided us with great recommendations through the process. 2 other women showed up to help the day of our wedding and every one was equally as nice and on top of it. I am very particular and an interior designer by trade so attention to detail was important and each of the women on Amanda's team exceeded our expectations. I was able to enjoy the evening and not sweat the details. When we walked in to the reception tent reveal, everything was perfectly executed. Caitlyn was extremely professional and proactive when it came to getting all the other vendors for our wedding on the same page, and there were several! We cannot express what a positive experience this was. They deserve 10 stars!

    Could not have done it without them!

    Amanda and her team were amazing to work with and immediately calmed us knowing we were in good hands. We loved having Caitlyn as our coordinator as she brought up items that we never would have thought about needing to plan for. She helped set up meetings with us and our vendors to go over details for the big day and was such a nice and caring person! On the actual day she was a rockstar and took care of any problems that came up

    The perfect wedding at the Hotel del Coronado :)

    Stefanie and the entire staff at Creative Affairs are beyond exceptional! From the initial phone call to the final wedding day, I knew I was in good hands. There was never any worry or doubt in my mind that any detail would be forgotten or missed...Stefanie thinks of everything! Sometimes it was like she was reading my mind haha. She was just so in tune with exactly what I wanted and what my preferences/taste were. I could not imagine a better wedding planner and I feel so thankful and lucky that we had her as our wedding planner for our perfect day at the Hotel del Coronado. No need to look any further, Creative Affairs will make your day more incredible than you could ever imagine!!

    Excellent wedding coodinator service

    I am so grateful that we chose Creative Affairs as our wedding coodinator. We first met Amanda while touring several potential wedding venues. Even though we did not choose the wedding venue that Amanda was showcasing, she was very helpful and informative. When it came time to search for a wedding coodinator, Creative Affairs was on top of our list based on our prior encounter with Amanda.

    I can not thank you enough for assigning Stefanie Muse as our wedding coodinator. We selected the day of wedding services, but Stefanie went above and beyond her contracted obligations. She was always a phone call away and immediately responded to any questions or concerns. She took it upon herself to initiate services, professional advice and personal opinions to create the perfect wedding. She was with us every step of the way leading up to the wedding. She made several phone calls to vendors and the venue that were not a part of her obligations. Her calm demeanor, attention to detail, and confidence helped us negotiate various wedding requests.

    The day of the wedding, Stefanie helped calm our nerves and inspired confidence that the wedding would happen without a hitch. She identified a problem with the electrical source prior to our reception and took it upon herself to get the needed equipment for the show to go on as planned without adding extra stress to Andrea and I. During the wedding process and reception, we continually received praise on Stefanie's professionalism and hard work ethic. We had several people inquire about getting her company information so they could use her for their events. Again, I cannot thank you enough for bringing Stefanie into our lives. She is a huge asset to your company.
    Sincerely,
    Brian and Andrea Thayer

    Dream Come True Wedding Coordinator

    Choosing to move forward with Creative Affairs for our wedding was the best decision we could have made for our wedding. We were paired with Sonya for everything A-Z and she was an absolute DREAM. When you think of the perfect wedding planner, it's Sonya. She checks off all the boxes -- years of experience, professional, organized, communicative, always two steps ahead, full of ideas, and most importantly, calm. Her calm presence is contagious, in the best way possible. She's someone you want to keep close throughout this entire process and day of. This is an important quality to have, especially considering your wedding coordinator is by your side basically the entire time. It's crucial for someone to keep you calm and on schedule. From day one, to the end of the party, everything was seamless and effortless with Creative Affairs. I'm so grateful for working with the amazing team and wonderful Sonya. Highly recommend!!

    Experience was amazing. 5 stars!

    We are so glad we hired Creative Affairs. Amanda has created a great company that is full of exceptional coordinators who provide their clients with nothing less than a 5 star experience!

    Our coordinator was Stefanie. She is AMAZING!! We knew when deciding to have a destination wedding that we would need to hire someone local to the area and who could do all of the things that we couldn’t. Stef handled EVERYTHING. I can honestly say that wedding planning was not a stressful experience. We had a longer engagement and working with Stef throughout the whole time was such a pleasant experience. Her kindness and professionalism are something our guest complimented. I can confidently say that our day would not have been as perfect as it was without her!

    The Perfect Wedding

    We met Amanda from Creative Affairs when looking for a Wedding Venue. We knew immediately that we wanted to work with her and her team not only to secure a venue but to be our Wedding Coordinator. Amanda quickly assigned Caitlyn and we were able to throw a perfect wedding. Their recommendations from caterer to florists to whatever you might dream up are so helpful. Both women are very passionate about the business and their energy and dedication is infectious. Did I mention they know the San Diego area and other businesses that will complement the coordination extremely well? You don’t have to be an expert to throw a perfect wedding or party you just need to hire Amanda and Caitlyn from Creative Affairs. We are so grateful and thankful to Creative Affairs. After spending 1 year together, we are going to miss working with these women.

    Perfection + Professionalism

    I learned of Amanda and Creative Affairs from a close friend and I am so glad I reached out! From the beginning I have experienced nothing but the best from the team of ladies I worked with.

    After my initial call with Amanda, I decided to go with the "Month of Coordinator" package, was then assigned a coordinator and she did NOT disappoint! Saying Amber did an outstanding job from the beginning would be an understatement. She is so organized and on top of things, answered all 5,000,000 questions I had quickly and also was so kind. She saved my sanity 2 weeks prior to my wedding due to a slight fiasco and handled everything in such a professional manner.

    The day of the wedding Amber had a team of two other ladies, Rachael and Amanda G. Again, these ladies did not disappoint. They all did everything they could to ensure this day was a dream and they absolutely delivered. As mentioned above, I selected the "Month of Coordinator" package and Amber made it seem as if she had been there from Day 1 of planning with me that's how on top of things she was.

    If you haven't booked anyone to help with full on planning or month of coordinating, look no further and go with Creative Affairs!

    Miranda is Amazing!

    Miranda was a huge help throughout the entire process and made sure the wedding day ran so smoothly. I honestly had no worries the day of the wedding because she took care of everything. During the planning process, she was so great about answering my constant influx of questions quickly and efficiently. Also, the vendors she recommended to us were all amazing! I would have been a nervous wreck without her and am so grateful for all the hard work she put in to making my day perfect!

    Beyond Amazing!

    My husband and I worked with a few people from Creative Affairs and each person was equally as great! From the initial call where we discussed ideas to executing the day of. They were quick to respond to every email answering any question we had. They made sure that all of the vendors knew when and where to be. That took away a lot of stress! Can't recommend them enough!

    Best decison we made!

    Hiring them was the best decision we made! By far. Beyond impressed. Let's start with what our friends said the day after our wedding:

    "What an amazing night!! Every single detail was perfection! I danced so long that my legs hurt!!"

    "that was an amazing evening from start to finish, everything was perfectly executed."

    "Truly, one of the best weddings I've been to."

    "such an amazing night last night!! amazing people, perfect setting and best band ever!!"

    "I haven’t seen so many people having so much fun in quite a while.”

    "Best party I've been to in ages!"

    Stephanie and her team were completely on top of EVERY thing. And who knew there were so many details to consider and decisons to be made? During the planning process they were extremely efficient - managing all of the vendors, providing recommendations when we couldn’t decide, being proactive with upcoming deadlines, etc. Every communication was responded to super quickly. On the day of the wedding, they were ON TOP OF IT. And with all of the hubbub, they remained completely calm and made sure you knew that everything was under control. And it was. If anything did go wrong, we were not aware because they took care of it. If nothing went wrong, it was 100% due to their planning, knowledge and expertise.

    We had our wedding at our house so we had to figure out how to manage 150 people throughout the day – ceremony, reception, food stations, bars, band - and they designed the perfect wedding (layout, flow, etc).

    This is likely the first time you are getting married but they have done this hundreds, if not thousands, of times. And it was very evident because they planned for every detail (details you would never consider) and made all of the right decisions. Do yourself a favor and trust them with your big day – you will be SO GLAD YOU DID!

    (other vendors we loved! Crown Point Catering, BE Studios (photography), Crown Town Music (All music), Kombi Keg (beer and premade cocktails on tap).

    Jessica was the best!

    My husband and I hired Creative Affairs to help us with our wedding planning! We worked directly with Jessica who was beyond incredible! She helped us navigate our vendors leading up to the day and all of our day-of scheduling. She was super attentive to our needs and wants for our big day and helped us to see them through! The day of proved to be a bit unexpected weather-wise, but she really made sure everything went smoothly despite the windy weather! She made sure everything was under control and on schedule and allowed my husband and I to have a stress-free day! I wish we could do it all over again just to be able to work with Jessica again!

    Creative affairs is the #1 wedding coordinators to hire!

    We have nothing but GREAT things to say about Creative Affairs!! We hired Amanda's team for our daughters destination wedding at Hotel Del in Coronado. From the moment we hired them, their attentiveness was beyond our expectations. Our daughters wedding was so beautiful and it was in part because of the millions of details that Creative Affairs handled on our behalf. Thank you again for helping us put on a flawless wedding for our daughter and son in law. Your company was the best of the best...…..and surpassed everything we could have hoped for!

    Marissa and Micah's wedding 1/30/2022

    I literally have no words to express my gratitude to Stefanie! From the moment we met her, we knew she was the one! She has been with us every step of the way planning a beautiful wedding for our daughter despite the challenges of COVID. This past weekend was absolutely MAGICAL and PERFECT in every way. Stefanie got us in touch with just as impressive vendors who brought the added charm, music, and decor to make our daughter's wedding everything we wanted it to be and so much more. She kept us organized and stayed in touch with the vendors we hired to make sure they had everything they needed and also with the event coordinator at the location site. She was quick to step in if I needed anything and would either take care of the problem or point me in the right direction. She was the glue that kept it all together. I saw her in action on the day off the event and was blown away. She went above and beyond my expectations. I was able to focus on my daughter and enjoy the day while Stefanie took care of everything else. What amazed me most through this process has been her calm demeanor, patience, and she always has a smile on her face. If I had to do it all over again, I would not change a thing. I would start with Stefanie! She deserves every recognition possible for what she does. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your constant support, attention to detail, and for going out of your way in making this event so perfect! I am forever grateful!. To see our daughter's vision for her wedding come to life through Stefanie's hard work is a gift I will treasure for a lifetime. Thank you Creative Affairs!!

    Fantastic wedding planning company

    I worked with Caitlyn F. through Creative Affairs Inc and could not have been happier with her. She was my wedding planner from the start of services, and made the entire planning process a breeze. Our wedding was in San Diego and while I was living there initially, we ended up moving out of state 6 months before our wedding day. Caitlyn lives in San Diego and was our on-the-grounds point person when things needed to be done. She is so organized and has a wonderful, personable personality, so working with her was pleasant. I would strongly recommend her as a wedding planner.

    Jessica B was our wedding planner and she was great to work with. Had great suggestions and recommendations leading up to the event. Where she truly shone was running the show during our wedding weekend. Everything went off so smoothly and in large part that was due to Jessica and her team. Thank you for making our day so special!

    Fantastic!

    We worked with Jessica B and she was outstanding in every way, especially since this was a destination wedding. She was very helpful in the months leading up to the wedding but she was fantastic the day of the wedding. She anticipated our every need and handled everything behind the scenes flawlessly. We would highly recommend Creative Affairs and in particular Jessica B!

    Simply the Best

    I cannot say enough good things about Stefanie, Amanda and the rest of the team at Creative Affairs. Planning a wedding can be stressful, takes a ton of time and can feel isolating because while friends and family all may have gone through the planning process, it doesn't always mean they fully understand. I am beyond thankful I had the Creative Affairs team to help me through! They were support arm we never knew we needed. They answered every question we came up with, came up with reasonable and actionable solutions when problems would arise and most importantly, really made us feel heard and understood. Caitlyn, our day of coordinator, was always extremely professional but at the same time every conversation we had was like talking to an old friend. Thank you Stefanie, Amanda and Caitlyn for making our day, simply the best!
