Negin Sent on 12/29/2023Vanessa is absolutely amazing!
My husband and I got married last March and hired Vanessa as our wedding planner. Vanessa was absolutely amazing. She was attentive, detail oriented, conscientious, and extremely professional. Not only does she have impeccable taste but she is well connected with all the vendors. Thanks to Vanessa, we had our dream wedding. Everything went so smoothly the day of wedding, thanks to Vanessa. Highly highly recommend Vanessa! -

NessaEvents was the smartest thing I did for my wedding. Vanessa was always such a calm and positive energy. She navigated my husband and I through all of the planning and decisions, removing a great deal of stress weddings have been known to create. She had great recommendations for potential vendors and was always wonderful about circling back to ensure we were connected with the venue, caterers, rental company and florist. My entire bridal party and family raved about her and truly depended on her for every little thing on the day of the wedding. This included her magic bag of emergency fixers. My dress had caught on the wheel of our bicycle pedicab and resulted in a grease line at the bottom of my dress. Vanessa was right there ready with her tide-to-go pen and I was able to make it to our reception welcome dance line spotless! Vanessa and her assistant went all out to ensure every detail was covered. For a wedding that had multiple venues connected to the day, my husband I were beyond impressed with her attention to detail and organization. I highly recommend NessaEvents for your wedding. Not only will you get someone well versed in wedding / event planning, but also someone who is friendly, personable and professional in every aspect. -

On the wedding day, Vanessas' presence brought us an immense sense of relief. She effortlessly handled all the behind-the-scenes coordination, allowing us and our families to fully immerse ourselves in the celebration. Her calm and composed demeanor was a true asset, even during moments of unexpected challenges. She skillfully managed any last-minute changes or hiccups that arose, and their quick thinking and problem-solving abilities were impressive.
One of Vanessa's standout qualities was her exceptional communication and coordination with all the vendors involved. She acted as a central point of contact, ensuring that everyone was on the same page and that everything was executed according to our vision. Her professionalism and ability to work collaboratively with the entire team were remarkable, making the entire wedding day a seamless and cohesive experience.

Tanvi Sent on 03/31/2023Amazing! So glad we chose Vanessa and Darny!
Vanessa and Darny were the day-of coordinators for our wedding. They did a really nice job of making sure all of our needs were met. Indian weddings are big and they handled all the vendors and personalities so well!! We really appreciated their professionalism so much. They also took very good care of my husband and I - bringing us cocktail hour snack and drinks, making sure we had the shoes we needed, etc. we can't thank them enough for making our day stressful and fun!! Thank you! -

We can't thank Vanessa enough for her incredible work as our wedding coordinator. She was there for us every step of the way, from helping us to navigate through complicated family dynamics, to providing a detailed timeline that kept us on track, to being flexible to any last-minute changes that came her way.
Vanessa was always available to answer any and all of our questions and provided helpful recommendations for how we should think about our wedding. She provided valuable insights and helped us to stay within our budget.
On the day of the wedding, Vanessa was a true heroine, taking care of every little detail with ease and grace. No job was too small for her, and she was always ready to lend a hand -- carrying things for us, helping to pin the boutonniere on my husband, checking in with our other vendors and making sure that everything ran smoothly.
We highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for an efficient, thoughtful, and attentive wedding coordinator who truly cares about making your day special. Thank you, Vanessa, for everything you did to make our wedding day unforgettable! -

She handles it all!
We hired Vanessa to help with our wedding in Santa Barbara. From the beginning, she asked all the right questions and helped us get on to a good path in coordinating the day of. She was a one woman show and handled the entire wedding of 200 people. Everything turned out beautiful and organized! She checked in on me various times and handled the whole day with grace. She is the best! I would hire her again!! Our wedding day would have gone so wrong if she wasnt there, thank goodness she was! -

Vanessa is amazing! We worked with Vanessa on partial wedding planning and day-of coordination. We changed our wedding plans midway through the planning process and Vanessa did not bat an eye. It's not easy to DIY an Indian wedding mandap but she did it with so much ease and the end product was better than anything we could have imagined. She was endlessly supportive, connected us to awesome vendors, and was instrumental in making the wedding day a success. She was so easy to work with and never let us stress. Thank you so much, Vanessa - we are so grateful! - Shona and Roger -

I hired Vanessa about 6 months before my wedding date. She was a recommended vendor provided by my venue. When I consulted with her over the phone, she seemed to be really helpful, organized, and was even familiar with some of the vendors I had already hired which made me feel at ease. I had made it clear to her that I needed someone to help with securing vendors, with a timeline, etc. Someone a little more than just a day of coordinator. She agreed to revise my contract to fit my needs and that she would jump in right away if I decided to hire her. After sending in my down payment, she was MIA. I had to initiate all communications, and when I'd ask if she had time for a call she'd often times let me know she would have time for a call days later. I had to ask for her vendor recommendations several times, then when she finally sent them, they were low quality rentals -- nowhere near the style I was going for. This was after I had sent her images of the original rentals so she already knew what look I was going for. Waste of time.
I finally expressed my frustrations with her, she agreed to meet. She was late. She never provided me with any checklists, documents, or ANYTHING at all to make my planning easier. She sent her "tentative timeline" in the body of an email.
3 months before my wedding, I decided it was best to part ways with her. I reached out to my venue to get some feedback and they agreed that she was unprofessional and removed her from the recommended vendor list. Her defense argument was that she was hired as solely a "day of coordinator" but I have emails where she clearly states she revised my contract and pricing to be more of a partial planner. She offered to refund me $300 "for my troubles"... which she never did. I text her and emailed her to follow up with my refund, & received no response. Typical. Forget your money, don't waste your peace of mind on her while planning your wedding.Nessa Events's reply:
NessaEvents respects all of our customers and treats them all with the utmost respect and importance. We are deeply saddened that there was miss communication and services that were not paid for were expected. We are very hands on and do not provide checklists or documents during our in person meetings. We always go above and beyond for our brides. We never had the opportunity to Coordinate your wedding as we know it would have been great! -

Sheila Sent on 03/19/2018We hired Vanessa as a day of coordinator. She was extremely nice and professional. She assured us that if she isn’t able to be there the day of the wedding, she has someone else who’d be able to take her place. It took her days, sometimes an entire week, to respond to texts/emails. The night of the rehearsal which was the night before the wedding, she was late due to the fact that I didn’t tell her we were having a rehearsal. It completely slipped my mind due to the fact that I was planning the entire wedding without the help of a wedding planner. I had brought up the topic of the rehearsal to her so she knew we would be having one, just didn’t know when. She never contacted me prior to the wedding asking if and when we were going to have one. She supposedly had experience so that should’ve been something she should’ve asked if I had never told her when. We told her of something we didn’t want to include during the reception but we somehow found ourself still doing it the night of the wedding. We had also asked her to be the point person to communicate with our photographer who we would be taking photos with next. When this came up, she was no where to be found. My husband ended up being the one running up and down trying to gather our family and organizing who we’d take photos with next. During the reception, I saw her a total of 5 times probably. At times, we couldn’t find her and most of the time, she was seen at the vendors table sitting down. The day of the wedding, my venue had to contact both her and I due to the fact that Vanessa didn’t send them the final day of timeline. I had to stop getting ready to send it to them. After the wedding I then found out that she was juggling another wedding which was taking place the day after mine. Definitely felt, and STILL FEEL, like we wasted money.
