    5-star service for a memorable experience

    Ina and her team delivered an amazing 5-star experience as our wedding coordinator for my daughter's wedding this July in San Diego. I will be very happy to refer her to any friends and family for her services!

    From beginning to end of the wedding, Ina was responsive, patient, meticulous and punctual with several meetings prior to the wedding, from creating Seating chart, picking up items to be set up on the day of the wedding, site visit/meeting and timeline planning, proper set up at Church and wedding site and coordination with vendors and on the day of wedding itself, Ina's and her team are very professional and work tirelessly to ensure that the wedding went through smoothly. The wedding was flawless and so stress free because of Ina's help. In summary, our experience with Ina was nothing short of extraordinary. Her professionalism, meticulous planning, creative vision, and exceptional organizational skills made my daughter's wedding day truly unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking a seamless and joy-filled wedding planning journey. A heartfelt thank you to Ina and her team !!!

    Awesome experience

    Ina made my wedding day run super smoothly on the day of. Throughout the process up to the wedding day, she was also very attentive and would ask questions to keep me on schedule even though we only hired her as a day of wedding coordinator. She helped with our ceremony rehearsal, as well as with adding the finishing touches for decorating our ceremony and reception. She also brought an assistant who did an amazing job in putting together some last minute floral arrangements as well as cake decorating with the extra flowers I brought even though that wasn’t really part of their job description. She was also super responsive, both during the time leading up to the wedding as well as on the wedding day and basically did everything she could to make the day run smoothly. Overall, she was super professional, organized and great to work with and probably one of the best vendors I hired. Her rate also can’t be beat. I highly recommend her for any other brides who’s looking for a day of wedding coordinator!

    100% awesome

    100% recommend!! - Ina is amazing and so talented. She was very patient with our requests and went out of her way to obtain the perfect centerpiece for our reception tables. She is a perfectionist, which is an amazing characteristic to have when being a wedding planner. One of the most important characteristics of a wedding vendor to me is effective communication between the bride & groom. Ina ALWAYS responded quickly and effectively. She listened to all of our ideas and made them come to life, better than we ever imagined.

    You are in good hands

    In January 2019, I had the opportunity to work with InnAvation events and Ina. Ina was my day of wedding coordinator. I met her when she was setting up the room at Coronado Center and i loved the design. It seemed to me that her and her assistant were on top of everything, keeping all the vendors organized.
    I can tell you, that when my wedding day came i was so impressed. Ina was on top of everything, dealing with the hotel, florist, guests. It was crazy and she makes it look so easy. I was in great hand and i went to enjoy my mimosas and get ready knowing that i have nothing to worry about. i highly recommend her and her team. You`ll be in good hands!

    Greatful for everything!

    Ina and her team were amazing! We originally only wanted a day of coordinator but due to the extent of our wedding we hired her and the team for the entire duration and full time wedding planners. The decorations that were planned out after our meeting were great and turned out exactly as I wanted. The table settings, gift table, buffet line, and other decor were beautiful and went extremely well with the theme. She got the vision perfectly and really made sure it was what I wanted. At the rehearsal Ina gave everyone in the wedding party a timeline for the next day, so there wasn't a question about who should be where and when. I was able to truly relax and enjoy my wedding day!!!

    Great team

    Ina is amazing. I don't know how I could have gotten through my wedding day (and rehearsal) without her! Who would have know there was so many questions to be answered and so many details to be planned! She will get things done and you won't have to worry! Her prices are reasonable too- I was so discouraged after receiving some insanely high quotes from other planners. If you are thinking about hiring a wedding planner, definitely set up a meeting with Ina. Her team is amazing and your wedding is worth it!

    Excellent Service!

    Innavation events were such a pleasure to work with! On our wedding day we had 2 day-of wedding coordinators. Ina helped us leading up to the big day, beginning about three months out. Most of the work was in the two months before the wedding. She had wonderful suggestions and thought of ideas that I did not even think of. She was extremely responsive and helped with all questions no matter how stupid they may have been! When both arrived on the morning of our wedding, I breathed a huge sigh of relief. If anything didn't go according to plan on the day of, we had no idea because she handled everything. Because of that, we were able to enjoy every minute of our special day.

    I did my research over a year ahead to find a day of coordinator since I was planning a wedding in San Diego from out of state. I found Ina and we had our first chat over the phone 15 months before my wedding.Ina was really resourceful since I was basically planning my own wedding. She gave me tips I could consider as I was planning. This was not in our contract and I greatly appreciated her going above and beyond.
    Our wedding went so smoothly and we enjoyed it so much without having to worry about anything! She also transported a bunch of our "wedding items" (like the guestbook, décor etc.) to the venue so we didn't have to worry about it on the day of the wedding. During the event itself, she did a really good job keeping things moving while being flexible and paying attention to how the guests were feeling. We recommend her highly!

    The Innavation Events team is seriously AMAZING! We went with the day-of coordinating service, and Ina absolutely went above and beyond and knocked it out of the park! We decided to hire her because we could tell she really understood our style and vision from the initial meeting. The reason we`re leaving a great review for her is:

    She saved us a lot of money, including letting us borrow some items for the reception (cake knife, toasting glasses, etc.)
    has connections with vendors and knows which ones are the best.
    helped us stay within our budget.
    answered all of our questions in a timely manner
    offered her opinion (if we wanted it) on designs/flowers/dresses
    took care of last-minute emergencies & picked up forgotten items on the wedding day

    Her team is awesome: definitely check her out if you're planning a wedding!

    Love this team!!!

    It's simple. Without Ina from Innavation Events our wedding day would have been trouble. From assisting us to put all of our ideas down, and figuring out ways to represent our style, to making sure that I had everything before I walked down the aisle she was our everything. Every time I turned around, she was either there to answer a question or to help with what was troubling me.

    Ina is very professional, works with perfection and pays attention to all the little details you don't even think about if you try to plan your own wedding. She masters etiquette and everything else about wedding. Mine was a blast. Highly recommended!

    I found Innavation Events through a recommendation and after speaking with them and a few other planners via phone, I knew they`re the right choice for me. The conversation was so easy, they were very approachable, and best of all, got me so excited about planning.

    They made every single part of planning our wedding so easy on me. From researching and booking vendors to the day of timeline was not only headache free, but fun. I had an absolute blast planning our wedding. The entire process was perfectly seamless. There was never a time that Ina and her team made me feel anxious or nervous. Communication was always on point, they always kept me on track with contracts and other deliverables that I had to do, and always kept things moving at a really great pace. My favorite part of planning was the design. I remember getting the design boards through email and getting so excited because I knew then that my vision for our wedding was going to be executed.
    Thank you Innavation Events for planning our big day so perfectly.

    We hired Ina to organize our company Christmas luncheon in December 2015. She set up the office and it looked stunning and festive. The food selection was excellent.
    Ina was our contact and she was very attentive to our needs, all while being incredibly friendly and laid back. She worked with us to help create a delicious traditional Turkey and Ham feast. She was very patient with our requests and we were able to do two tastings to make sure our menu was perfect. She also coordinated the rentals and the bar and her staff did a terrific job making our reception look exactly as we wanted. She also provided beautiful platters and decorations bringing amazing holiday spirit. She made sure all of our needs are met. We appreciate her professionalism and cooperation. Thank you Ina :)

    Ina did an amazing job. My mom and I are both pretty organized people, and thought we had all the planning under control. But when Ina and her team stepped into the picture we realized that we'd forgotten a number of important details. We also realized it was far easier for her to handle certain aspects of the planning, so we could focus on more fun stuff! Ina is professional, highly organized, great at multitasking, good at handling difficult conversations or interactions with vendors, very knowledgeable and full of suggestions if you need them, and fun to work with.

    Nothing was impossible for Ina and her team - I even wanted to add additional florals a couple of days before the wedding and she was able to accommodate. If you're wondering if you should hire Innavation Events, my answer is yes - it will be the best decision you make for your wedding. The money she will save you with her creative ideas and connections will more than pay for her services. I convinced my husband that we needed to hire her, and now he admits that we would have been completely lost in the process without her. Thanks Ina - we are forever grateful.

    I used Innavation Events this year for my annual company Gala and it was worth every penny! Ina was such a pleasure and so easy to work with. She responded to my emails & phone promptly and answered all my questions very professional and with patience.
    She attended the tasting with us and her expertise came in handy, as she was able to point out things that I wouldn't have thought about in a million years! The night of the event she was so calm and collected despite having to coordinate cocktails and dinner for 150 high-end guests. Ina totally put me at ease and I was able to enjoy the evening knowing she had everything handled. I`m definitely planning on using them every year!

    Working with Ina from Innavation Events was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding! I knew from our first phone call that I would love to work with her! She was knowledgeable, fun, productive, and I enjoyed talking to her. She has awesome connections and made sure my wedding was everything I wanted it to be and MORE- while ensuring I was stress-free and had time to enjoy myself.
    I actually DO throw a lot of parties myself....but I wondered if It was worth it dealing with the pressure of my own wedding . I was lost. But I did know one thing - wedding planning has turned into a nightmare and I was spending all my free time surfing the web. After about a week of this, I realized that this was craziness and that a wedding planner was needed! And I that was one of the best decisions I`ve ever made.
    The wedding was beautiful, personal and FUN. Her team was ON IT. It was incredibly helpful to have someone say "You have to do... now".
    She handled all of the craziness of getting quotes revised, scheduling tastings, etc. She also has the experience with planning weddings where she can advise you on what to cut, what not to cut, and how to stay on budget.
    Have fun at your wedding. And then get back to living your life.

    I never thought I would ever hire a wedding planner for our wedding in San Diego. I always believed that I Could manage and handle everything ...but no. I completely underestimated the amount of workload a wedding requires. as the time was passing by we began to panic as we barely have anything done. A friend introduced me Ina, and yes, finally we did I finally have a peace of mind.
    Her team truly deserves a great thank you! From day 1 to the actual day, Ina was always on top of things. She took the stress out of the entire planning process. She made sure I stuck to my budget and timelines. And when we interviewed vendors, she asked questions I didn't even think of.
    She has excellent taste and fantastic relationships with venues and vendors. It was evident how much her colleagues trust her and enjoy working with her. She took such excellent care of us and of all the details, we were able to enjoy every minute of our planning process and the wedding itself. I highly recommend her and her team.
    If I could give one advice to everyone who would follow our steps is hire a pro for your wedding! On the day of the wedding Ina has a team with 4 people directing the guests, set up the room, timing everything in the schedule. I couldn`t imagine doing any of this on my own.

    Hiring Ina was, without a doubt, the best decision we made regarding our wedding. She is an incredible wedding planner and designer with an amazing, friendly and bubbly personality.

    I have to admit, I wasn't the most organized person when it came to planning - but Ina completely took the lead and gave us the guidance we needed. She was extremely organized and timely throughout the whole process, and was consistently brimming with creative ideas. She would always offer high, mid, and lower priced variations of an idea which I found extremely helpful. On top of her incredible organizational and creative skills, she offered a much needed calm and patient presence throughout.

    The day of the wedding was more than I ever could have imagined. So many people told us it was the most beautiful wedding they'd ever been to. It's truly amazing what she was able to accomplish, and best of all, we could completely relax knowing that Ina and her team had everything more than under control.

      Fantastic package deal. I waited quite a bit to write my review because I wanted to be able to evaluate their services from start to finish. Ina  was an absolute joy to work with and I cannot recommend her highly enough! Our very first conversation with her set our minds completely at ease, that anything we needed would be managed--she made it clear that her job was to take away any anxiety or worries so we could actually enjoy this time! We really appreciated how easy she was to reach and she actually encouraged us to contact her at any time because we were her priority. She managed logistics, vendors and venue communication like a pro. I would highly recommend her expertise to any couple seeking an efficient and talented planner.
