Antonia Sent on 01/15/2022Wonderful Support System
This is a late review for our wedding in August because I wanted to photos to showcase Selina wonderful work. As a project manager and event planner, I am always organizing something and my wedding was the last thing I wanted to plan. Selina is not only highly organized but she is very creative and a great problem solver. I remember sitting in our walkthrough meeting and she caught things that I didn’t even think about. We were also blessed to have the additional support of her planner team to assist us with our venue’s event team. We basically had support for our support and they worked as a well oiled machine. I made it known that Selina was in charge because I completely trusted her with everything. Thank you again, Selina for everything! We are so grateful for you. -

We were one of the few couples who decided to keep our original wedding date and venue. However we were told there would be no dancing, but Selina worked with the vendors to make it as fun as possible even with the restrictions. Selina came up with games we could play with our small group and it ended up being a big hit.
It was a perfect day and we can’t thank Selina and her team enough! -

Selina is great to work with and very understanding. She has great vendor recommendations and all very professional. The whole process was smooth. Selina is able to handle sudden changes while paying close attention to details. -

Exceptional! Goes above and beyond
Selina, the head coordinator, knows this business. We didn't always know the correct questions to ask vendors and she really helps with all the correspondence. More than a coordinator, she has the creative gravitas to completely execute your vision and fill in the holes you may not be aware of. Our wedding would not have gone felt or looked anything like we envisioned without Selina. Through planning and day-of, this is a top-notch service. -

Maudie Sent on 10/29/2017We recently got married in September at my parent's house and we couldn't have done it without Krystle, Smith and Murphy! We did the "Honey Bee" package which was just what we needed. Krystle was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. We were new to the Santa Barbara area and planning the wedding from out of state. Her communication was fantastic, no matter what time it was or if it was on the weekend, she always responded to my emails within hours. This was very reassuring. She also did a great job with only providing us vendors who were in our budget and not pressuring us to go with a certain one. She is very reliable, experienced, and is truthful and honest. I really appreciated how organized and paitent she was with all of our questions. Day of the wedding was relaxing and the logistics all worked out just as planned. Her attitude day of was positive, organized, and enthusiastic which made the hours leading up to the ceremony stress free. Our wedding was everything we had hoped for and more. We were very fortunate to have found her and would 100% recommend.

Jasmine Sent on 10/04/2016Justin and I were planning our wedding from across the country and needed a planner that was not only super on top of things but really understood our vision. We wanted someone who had similar values, too, and who saw weddings as being about community and marriage. Smith & Murphy was a perfect fit.
Krystle, founder and lead event planner for Smith & Murphy, really cares about her clients and pairing them with vendors that make her clients feel supported and heard. Throughout the process, Justin and I would gush about Krystle and how lost we would be without her. She is compassionate, flexible, patient, and incredibly hard working. Krystle was so responsive and made us feel valued. She is open to trying new things and going the non-traditional route. We created mood boards and talked through our vision, but when choosing vendors and decor, it's hard to know what the actual feel and look of event will be. She executed our vision with precision. Krystle was wonderful with selecting vendors that matched our event's feel and negotiating with them. Our family and friends were so impressed with the event, with our vendors, and, especially, with Krystle and Smith & Murphy. -
User2501098 Sent on 01/10/2016I had an absolutely incredible experience with Smith & Murphy, and cannot recommend their services enough. Krystle and Anna were so warm and wonderful to work with at all phases of the process. From the start, they did an incredible job helping me articulate my vision by asking thoughtful questions and then turning my jumbled answers into stunning options for my day. I felt like I was in such good hands all the way through and, as a result, felt so stress free!
Krystle and Anna are so detail oriented and offer a really special suite of services. For instance, Anna designed my invitations, and they were unique and gorgeous, and a much more affordable than anything else I looked at. I don't know how Anna was able to look at a few Pinterest pins and come up with an invitation that was a perfect fit for me and my personality, but she did it! In the same vein, Krystle and Anna made my day SO personal. They even went to my childhood home and spent time with my mom so they could include little touches that would be true to my story. Every piece of their design work was executed flawlessly and I couldn't get over how beautiful the finished product was.
Krystle and Anna provided such a fabulous balance of both unfaltering professionalism and kindness and friendliness that made our work together a joy. If you want a design house that will ensure your event is true to who you are, visual perfection, and exceed all of your expectations, you have to go with Smith & Murphy! -
User2636461 Sent on 06/06/2016Given my love for detail and my (self-perceived) expertise in party planning for large groups of people, I originally felt that all I really needed was a day-of coordinator. But since my fiancé and I were only working with 7 months to plan, along with a full time jobs, (and later a renovation project at home) we realized that we were going to need more help. We are so thankful that we found Smith &Murphy. Their experience was invaluable. Krystle and Anna took the time to meet at our venue, north of San Luis Obispo, and provided really great insight on setup options, logistics and the like. Krystle was quick to respond when we had questions. She kept us on track with the details that could have been overlooked during the planning phase, even up to the last minute. Her communication with potential vendors and the ones that we chose was thoughtful and professional and even garnered praise from them! The wedding day, as everyone says, flew by, and was everything we had worked toward and hoped for. I feel that we can attest that to the work of our amazing vendors, and especially to Smith & Murphy.
