Anuhea Sent on 02/26/2024So happy I hired her! Best decision I made!
Hiring Alana and her team for day of coordination for my 315 person wedding was the best decision I made! We got in touch a few months before the wedding and ever since I signed the contract she was the biggest help! Communication was so easy with her, I could text, email, or DM her and she almost always got back to me immediately.
She did a great job of taking over my vendors once I handed over all their info. She made sure to get in contact with each one and continuously touch base with them to make sure all expectations were going to be met. During our walkthrough of the venue, there were some vendor contracts I was unfamiliar with and it was as if Alana studied the contracts because she knew all of the answers before I could even look them up in the contract.
We took a few hours to discuss the timeline/flow of the wedding and Alana made sure every little detail was listed and even down to the minute! All of the vendors were very impressed saying that she sent out the most detailed timeline they have ever seen! There was a surprise hula that I was doing for the groom and I forgot to warn the DJ before our meeting to not say anything about it, so I was fully expecting for the surprise to be ruined, however I didn’t know Alana had already let the vendors know not to say anything about it if the groom was present! Little things like this were such a big help and showed how much she was paying attention to things.
Alana and Alyssa were present for the setup of the venue the day prior which was great. Them being there allowed for my family to not have to worry so much about all the work that needed to get done. It was also nice they were there because they got to see what decor came out of what boxes, and how to put everything back at the end of the night. The reception hall looked absolutely amazing!
Our wedding reception went better than expected! My biggest worry was the timing of events, and we actually were able to get ahead of schedule, which meant more time to party! She constantly made sure my husband and I were taken care of with food and drinks, and also just our mental state too. There were some silly little hygiene things that were needed throughout the night and she had everything right there! Once the formal events happened and it was time to party, the team started to get decor that was no longer being used put away. That ensured we were cleaned up and out of the venue on time. It also made for the rest of the clean up to go very smooth.
To say the least, Alana and her team nailed our wedding day. Our vision and expectations were definitely exceeded! I highly recommend Alana and her team for any of your upcoming events! -

If you are interested in working with a team of professional, supportive, creative, and "can do/ will do" attitude- look no further, Alana and her team do not disappoint. The team shares equal love and energy in putting your event first. You will never find yourself worried without being reassured. We were beyond thankful for the planning and completing our vision with the Godoy team. Communication is key when planning a special day, and is one of the many strengths the team excels in. I sent emails, texts, and voicemails often to share ideas or concerns, and each team member contributed to making sure all my questions or ideas were captured. I highly recommend Godoy Events, not only as a quality planning/event management vendor, but a wonderful advocate for managing all vendors. Lastly, we extremely valued the team's understanding and support of our cultural heritage. They were comfortable highlighting these details throughout our wedding. The team embraced our culture as their own and did not hesitate to make sure we were happy with the details suggested. Thank you to Godoy Events for creating a loving and timeless evening. -

Wow where do I even start??? I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Alana as my wedding planner! From start to finish, Alana went ABOVE and beyond to make sure that all of my needs were met. I can get a little type A and had about 7 months to plan out our perfect wedding. There were so many details that I wanted to make sure were highlighted on our big day from small décor details, flower placement, vendors, important cultural traditions…you name it. Alana really took the time to understand me and my husband’s vision and turn it into reality and execute with such grace! My husband and I initially wanted to do our wedding in San Diego and I was referred to Alana through a friend, and I’m glad that I stayed with her even though we didn’t end up doing our wedding in SD! From the first consultation call I already got a good genuine feeling and vibe from her – which is everything to me! I’m so overjoyed with all the compliments we’ve received from guests saying how beautiful our day was. And we got so many compliments on how our day really represented the both of us as a couple (coming from 2 different backgrounds). We honestly couldn’t have done it all without Alana and Antonio, the dream team! Seriously they’re such a good team and really took care of not just organizing our wedding day & making sure everything ran smoothly -- but also making sure we were pampered and taken care of throughout the night! One of my favorite things that Alana and Antonio did was that they captured snippets of pictures and videos of our wedding and all of our guests and shared it with us. I kid you not I have been looking at all of our footage on repeat since our big day! Definitely a plus to have especially when you are patiently waiting for your photography & videography to come back! All in all, if you’re looking for a professional team who is organized, personable, fun, trustworthy, detail-oriented, kind, look no further!! My husband I will forever cherish all of our beautiful memories from the best day ever =) -

Alana and her team are such a joy to work with. My husband and I felt like we were in such good hands throughout the whole planning process. I cannot stop raving about her to all my friends and family.
We planned our wedding in Santa Barbara and we live in San Francisco, so it was essentially a destination wedding and we were worried about finding and coordinating our vendors from far away. Alana helped use her Southern California connections to make it all happen.
She is responsive and reliable. She is a very experienced planner which made us feel like our wedding would be a guaranteed. hit. I felt I could always count on her to make sure planning was on track. My friends and family were so shocked how relaxed I was throughout the process. I would always tell them it was because of Alana; she melted all my fears away.
From our rehearsal lunch to our wedding night, she made sure everything on our timeline happened as discussed. She made sure the decorations were set up beautifully and had the perfect rentals I needed; I was so glad we didn't have to waste additional materials.
She kept the night moving and went above and beyond in checking in on us throughout the day--she even had a clever wedding day emergency kit that so many of our guests benefitted from.
If you are planning a wedding, you have to hire Alana so she can help the weddings of your dreams come true! -

would 100% recommend Godoy Events to everyone that is looking for an event planner! Very professional, good vibes, detail oriented!
Godoy events helped make my dream wedding a reality! We decided to have Alana on the day of the wedding as our day of coordinator and she excelled in all she did. We began planning for the day months before and she took my vision and articulated it to perfection the day of. She was quick to ask all questions I hadn’t originally thought of and i’m so thankful for that because no detail was left unfinished. I never felt even the slightest sprinkle of stress on my day or heard of any emergency that came across. She truly knows how to problem solve and keep it quiet from the bride and groom while still excelling at providing everything dreamt of the couple. She is so personable and keeps the good vibes rolling the whole night. Alana sticks to her timeline and makes sure you’re staying on track so you get to enjoy the entirety of your day. She is there to support you and make you feel top tier on your special day and I felt exactly that. Thank you so much Godoy Events for turning my dream into a reality as I married the love of my life! -

We don’t even know where to start. Alana was amazing from the start. From setting up calls with us and coordinating between our vendors. Everything went as planned and we appreciate all her hard work that her and her team did on our big day. She provided us with a detailed timeline for the day of, which made us feel at ease. From the morning she was helping our vendors set up and organize while we off preparing and getting ready. She made our family and bridal party feel so comfortable throughout the day. She always knew where to find us and keep us on track. Her and her team also went above and beyond to help clean after our reception. We couldn’t have asked for a better team and we so happy you were able to be part of our big day.
Alana's attention to detail, professionalism, and dedication truly made our wedding day perfect. -

Gelsey Sent on 09/28/2024Highly Recommend Godoy Events!
Working with Alana was an absolute dream! From our very first phone call, I instantly knew I was going to hire her to help plan our wedding. Her warmth, authenticity, professionalism, calm and welcoming energy, and passion for making her clients happy were apparent right away, and she completely understood our vision from the start. Throughout the entire planning process, she exceeded our expectations, handling every detail with incredible care and thoughtfulness. Of course, as part of the wedding planning experience, clients inevitably face anxieties, challenges, and roadblocks. But Alana had a way of making the stressors of this experience feel short-lived. She effortlessly smoothed over any bumps in the road, offering reassurance and solutions that allowed us to stay focused on the joy of the occasion. Her calm presence and expert handling of every situation made us feel supported and in great hands at all times. Additionally, Alana handled the wedding logistics, coordination, and planning like a true professional. One of my favorite aspects of working with her was our 1:1 consultation sessions, where I would always leave feeling more organized, confident in my vision, and reassured that I had someone on my team truly taking care of us. Even when there were last-minute changes or unexpected challenges, Alana not only came up with smart solutions quickly but handled everything with grace and confidence. On the day of my wedding, I felt like I was standing in my own vision and my dreams had quite literally come true. The decorations were divine, and it was evident that Alana and her team knew how to not only put a wedding together but also ensure that all vendors were well-coordinated, allowing us to experience a stress-free and thoroughly enjoyable day. I highly recommend Godoy Events to anyone planning their wedding. Alana and her team work so hard for their clients, and I only wish the very best for this business! :) -

Chi B. Sent on 08/29/2023Alana got what you are looking for as a good coordinator
I have worked with Alana as a makeup and hair stylist for the wedding she coordinated. Having being in the wedding industry for more than 10 years, I know when I see a good coordinator. She took her time to greet the couple, family and vendors. The timeline, list of the vendor contacts and special instructions she prepared were well organized and easy to understand. I look forward to working with her again in the future. -

Alana was the best coordinator a bride could ask for. She was professional and you can tell she knows her stuff with how prepared she is and thoughtful she was for all of the things. When there were small mishaps with another vendor out of her control she handled it with grace and checked in with us throughout the entire day which helped to keep us calm and collected. I was very specific in asking for an assistant if possible who spoke Vietnamese and Alana was able to make it happen which was very special for some of our guests. Alana also helped with a trustworthy list of recommended vendors which also came in handy! Alana was immediately available to help with anything including helping to do a last minute hem with safety pins for a bridesmaid. We are so thankful to be blessed with Alana’s presence for a very long day at multiple locations. -

Alana and her team were absolutely amazing! My husband and I are so grateful to have found such trustworthy and dependable coordinators. Alana and her team had made planning such an important event as simple as possible. They were extremely flexible with last minute changes and extremely easy to reach when we needed help with any changes we wanted to make. We cannot thank Alana, Bianca, and the rest of her team enough with helping us celebrate with our friends and family stress free. We have so much thankfulness and love for Godoy Events for helping us celebrate our day -

Allison Sent on 05/28/2025Perfection!!!
WOW! Alana was everything I needed for my wedding and more. I found her through a friend of a friend and am so blessed that our paths crossed. She was my day of coordinator and started helping with the planning around 1 month out from the wedding date. We had multiple calls leading up to the day and she always made me feel like I was in good hands. Her and Daisy were so helpful and FUN on my wedding day! One of my favorite memories of them was seeing them dance to our music as they made finishing touches to my wedding cake. They understood my vision perfectly and blended so well in my intimate micro wedding. I love them both and highly recommend hiring them for any event! -

Alana and her team really went above and beyond to help make my wedding day one of the best days of my life. She took the time to really listen to the vision I had and ran with it.
