Candice Sent on 10/25/20202020 Now 2021 Bride
This year has been a whirlwind to say the least and having to postpone our wedding was definitely a difficult decision. But we knew it was for the best and that we would eventually have our wedding when the time was right. Michele Carrol Events has been a huge help during this time. Tara Sanchez made the process of rescheduling a new date with our vendors virtually seamless. Her coordination made it super easy and it took off unneeded stress from our plate. I can't imagine how we could have done it without her! Even before we decided to officially postpone, Tara worked with us through our options and let us know that whatever we decided she would be there to support our decision and see our wedding vision through. We are very excited for 2021 and we can rest assured that we have Michele Carroll Events to help see us through to our big day! -

Michele never missed a beat. Michele is so organized, professional and confident. She has mastered the art of planning. I was so astonished at how calm I was during the planning process! Michele was able to track down a 100 year old wood cross for our ceremony! The day of my wedding Michele and her staff helped run a beautiful, smooth day. -

Loved working with Michelle!
Michelle was amazing to work with this past year. She was very responsive to emails and text which made things much more easy-going, especially with planning a destination wedding. She recommended some great vendors along the way, even if we did not use all of them they were all very professional and helfpul with providing information. The day of was very relaxed and ran smoothly! She made my vision for our wedding come true. I would highly recommend any bride working with Michelle and her team! -

I had the pleasure of assisting Michele with her weddings at Avila Beach Golf Resort on 8/10/19 and 10/19/19. Michele and I are both members of San Luis Obispo Wedding Planners, and we all try to help each other out and assist with each other's weddings whenever possible. I always love working with Michele because she is so calm, cool, and collected at all times. There is never any stress! She treats her vendors very well and is always professional from start to finish. Michele seems to constantly be in several places at once, and is always ready to provide her couples with immediate assistance. Her weddings are beautifully designed and all of her couples are consistently happy. I love that Michele also goes above and beyond by offering decor (she has SO MANY candles), s'mores stations, donut walls, you name it! I always have an amazing experience working with Michele, and I would assist her a million more times! -

Eric Sent on 10/28/2019Brought our vision to life!
Michele Carroll and team 'knocked it out of the park'! Our wedding vision was brought to life, everything went so smoothly. Michele, from the first meeting, was as if had been lifelong friends. She quickly picked up on the direction we were going, and as the big day was drawing near, and wedding stress was taking over, she ensured us we were in a good place, everything is ready to go, and helped put us as ease. Which was a huge thing, because 'wedding stress is real!' The day of went so well, Michele and her team directed all the vendor traffic, made sure all of our decorations were out and set up. They took care of us through out the night. She really made it easy for us to enjoy the wedding and all the work that went into planning. We worked remotely with Michele, as we are in South Orange County and Michele in San Luis Obispo. We met one time in person prior to the wedding and the rest of our communication was email and over the phone. I am spreadsheet nerd, and Michele delivers a nice spread sheet, with vendor contacts, complete day-of-timeline, venue layout, the works! Sharing the timeline early on, and having weekly meetings made working remotely really easy. When it came time to head up to San Luis Obispo for the final time, we knew that we were good to go! I would highly recommend Michele Carroll Events, they are professional, great to work with, made our wedding day come together! -

Michele carroll is absolutely fantastic!
Our daughter was married on July 27th, at the White Barn in San Luis Obispo. We hired Michelle Carroll for our coordinator and we could not have been more pleased. From the very first day we signed the contract, Michele was knowledgeable, responsive and helpful. She helped us through many glitches that we encountered and smoothed everything out between all of our vendors. On the day of the event, we could actually relax and enjoy everything because we knew Michele and her crew were there taking care of every detail. She is calm, confident and comforting. She has a great reputation in the wedding industry and good rapport with the vendors. There were so many details that we had no idea would come up, but she is so organized that absolutely nothing fell through the cracks. Best of all, she made our daughter's wedding day absolutely perfect, she made every vision we had a reality and thanks to her, our daughter had the wedding of her dreams. Michele sincerely cares and has a passion for her work, she is truly special and we are so happy we chose her! -

Michele Sent on 08/17/2019Amazing Planner & Coordinator!
Michele and her team were wonderful to work with. The whole day went by effortlessly and our clients were able to be present on their wedding day. As the photographer, she was very communicative and kept us in the loop of the events and timing. If you are looking for someone to take care of every detail for your event or wedding, hire Michele! We can't wait to work together again soon! -

Rachel Sent on 10/31/2018Flawless Wedding Coordination!
We live in Kansas City and had never been to the San Luis Obispo area. When we found Michele, we had just booked our venue but didn't have many details figured out. Using her many connections in the surrounding areas, Michelle and her team created the unique destination experience we wanted our guests to enjoy..featuring the finest local cuisine, a smores bar, even handmade beach-themed decor! (just to name a few) We didn't have to hassle with coordinating vendors and our day turned out more amazing than we ever dreamed! Whether you need a lot of help or just a little, we HIGHLY recommend trusting Michele with the details of your big day! -

Ciera Sent on 07/28/2018We couldn't have made a better choice! I searched endlessly to find a "week of" planner so that our wedding party & families could enjoy our wedding week celebrations instead of worrying about when the linens were arriving. We wanted this day to be a fun celebration for them to enjoy as well & Planimation Events made sure that happened. I first contact Michelle over the phone & couldn't believe the great pricing that was with her packages. I can't count how many wedding planners for just the day or week that I contacted through wedding wire, yelp, google, preferred vendor list, etc that the pricing was so out of our budget! When I first spoke with Michelle I felt at ease knowing that I was with the right person. She explained her services, pricing, etc., let me shoot a couple ideas off of her, & she was honest and great. Contract was sent over quickly & my actual planner Melanie got in contact with me soon. Dustin & I are so happy that we had Melanie! She met with us a few times leading up to the wedding, went over our timeline, checked in to see how things were going & always assured us that she was there if we needed her. She was available over the phone, email, or in person. She kept all of my contracts in order for the planning processes & gave me suggestions for different vendors if I needed them. She was fun to be with and I'm so glad we had her. Melanie is funny, organized, has all the questions you wouldn't think of and was so great for us the whole time! She was there for a venue walk through, rehearsal & of course on the wedding day. I requested that my parents be taken care of all night & one of my aunts & she made sure they were completely covered. It made me so happy when I'd look over & see the three of them having a great time & knowing that they didn't have to worry about anything except having fun because Melanie & her amazing assistant had them covered. Thank you for making our dream day come true!!! -

Abel Sent on 05/31/2018We opted for the day-of coordination services, but truth be told, Michele provided much more. From the very beginning, Michele was extremely responsive with our emails, text messages, and phone calls. These back-and-forth communications ranged from advice on vendors to wedding design ideas. She made the planning experience for us stress free and made us feel very confident in what we wanted to do. We met with Michele in-person several times prior to the rehearsal and the big day - when we were meeting potential wedding coordinators, during our walk-through, and during our visits with other vendors. She even met with vendors when we weren't able to. During the day of the wedding, Michele made us feel very comfortable about the entire experience. She was on top of everything. Lastly, her Animation Plan is a big plus. It is an Excel document, but the amount of detail that is covered in the Animation Plan went a long way. It helped us think through our own planning and it also got a lot of positive comments from our other vendors. We would highly recommend Michele. For reference, our wedding was at La Cuesta Ranch.

Melissa Sent on 11/22/2017Words cannot express how grateful I am to have Michele and her assistant at our wedding! From the first time I contacted Michele she was very attentive to all my needs, responded quickly, and made herself very available throughout the wedding planning process. She was a crucial part in creating the timeline for our wedding and collaborating with our other vendors. We utilized a lot of new and up-and-coming vendors, and Michele made a plan that incorporated everyone effortlessly while tending to everyone's specific timeline and needs. The day of, Michele and her assistant made sure everything was 100% like my vision, and went to extreme lengths to make sure we had everything we needed! From last minute decor and sign changes, to even offering to go buy a cake topper when ours mysteriously disappeared! Michele stayed far past her expected departure time and wasn't afraid to get dirty cleaning up so we didn't have to come back the next day! You will not regret hiring Michele and her team at Planimation Events, and she is worth every cent knowing you will be well taken care of on your big day! -
Erica Sent on 10/13/2017Planimation Events, Michele in particular, truly made our wedding the best day ever! Cliché I know, but Michele was so helpful, approachable, positive, and made our day run so smoothly. Throughout the wedding planning, she was easy to get ahold of and assisted us for much more than just the day of coordination we paid for. Her services were worth every penny and I would absolutely recommend Planimation Events to any bride! The animation plan, or detailed timeline of the wedding events, décor, songs, etc., established a easy to read blueprint for the day. Knowing that Michele had my back, allowed me to relax and not worry about the table décor or small details. Instead my husband and I, and my parents, got to enjoy the day and celebrate our love.
My husband and I cannot thank Planimation Events enough for their incredible aid on our wedding day! -

Campbell Sent on 10/04/2017When we booked our venue, the event manager advised us that we didn't really need to hire an outside coordinator; apparently very few couples getting married at the Madonna Inn enlist additional help. Because we live out of the area and wanted to enjoy our wedding day as thoroughly as possible, we decided to find some extra help who would make sure everything ran smoothly. I interviewed half a dozen highly-qualified planners/coordinators in the SLO area before finding Planimation Events to help us with month-of and day-of services.
Before the wedding Michele worked with each of our vendors to make sure everyone was well-coordinated and everything was as we planned it. On the day of the wedding we didn't see Michele much because she and her assistant were actively running the "show behind the show"; everything ran on time and according to plan - if there were any snafus, we had no idea because Michele took care of it. With Planimation's help we were able to relax (well, as much as one can on their wedding day!) and enjoy all our friends and family knowing that Michele had taken care of everything we threw at her along the way.
Now the part where I get sappy and a little teary-eyed. Michele and her team provided exactly what we hired Planimation to do flawlessly; make sure all details were taken care of so we could be as present as possible on our wedding day. She and her assistant kept us calm and laughing throughout the day; and not in a superficial way. It’s clear that Michele cares deeply about the people she works with and for; something rare in an industry dedicated to creating "picture perfect" days. With Michele's help our day not only LOOKED picture perfect but FELT picture perfect. Thank you, Planimation, for providing us peace of mind, kindness, and friendship. You have our deepest gratitude for your soulful support and buoyantly positive attitude. We love you! -
