Michael B. Sent on 09/02/2023Taylor & Meghan are the BEST!
We just got married in Healdsburg - Taylor Lyons, Meghan Magnasco, and the So Eventful team were INCREDIBLE!
They made the entire process seamless and stress free. Super organized, attentive, with great energy.
There wasn't a single moment where we felt stressed and this was due to Taylor and Meghan. This also includes the day of the wedding - they made sure the day was fun, relaxing, and eliminated any worries / last minute stresses that can come along with a wedding.
Highly knowledgeable with vendor recommendations (Taylor's expertise about local vendors helped us save a lot of $$$), unique requirements of our venue (Montage), and got ahead of needs we didn't know we even had (like parasols for our guests to stay cool!).
We could not be more grateful for Taylor and Meghan - outside of the value they brought to our wedding, they're both awesome humans with a contagious, positive energy.
Thank you Taylor and Meghan - we love you tons!
Can't recommend you enough! 10 / 10!So Eventful's reply:
Thank you so much for your wonderful note! It was truly an honor to be a part of planning your special day, and we're thrilled that everything came together so beautifully to create a lifetime of memories. It was the perfect reflection of how wonderful you two are and a testament to your love! Your kind words mean the world to us, and we wish you a lifetime filled with love and happiness. -

Brian M. Sent on 11/10/2022Amazing to work with!
A wedding (or any major event really) does not just coincidently go smoothly, look beautiful, and become fondly memorable on it’s own. There is a ton of thought, planning, vision and day-of execution that goes into it. Over the past 12+ years I’ve been in business I’ve worked with countless wedding planners. Few of them have impressed me or are as wonderful and easy to work with as Brittany of So Eventful. I have recently worked with her at the amazing Auberge du Soleil in the Napa Valley at a wedding, and after that experience I can absolutely recommend her services to anyone, and have confidence referring her to my clients as well in the future. - Brian MacStay PhotographySo Eventful's reply:
Brian,
I cannot thank you enough for these kind words! Your positive demeanor and willingness to go-with-the-flow is so greatly appreciated during the whirlwind of Wedding Day! I cannot wait to see the final gallery from this wedding, I know it will be breathtaking! You and your team are always a pleasure to work with, and I know we will work together on many events in the future!
Cheers, Bailey! -

Gabe B. Sent on 11/02/2022Top Quality Planning Team
We LOVE working with SO Eventful. Their entire planning team is top quality. This fall our band, The Class had the pleasure of team up with Kim Carfi for two different weddings in Napa and Sonoma County and I have to say, she is really on top if it. On both occasions, the weddings went off without a hitch. She has a great balance of keeping the wedding moving forward and doing it with a fantastic attitude and keeping everyone smiling. I highly recommend So Eventful - in my mind they are one of the best planning companies around!So Eventful's reply:
Thanks Gabe! Working with you and the entire Class Band was such a pleasure. You made the planning process easy and fun. Thank you for your professionalism and amazing musical skills. I'll definitely recommend you to my future clients!

I was lucky enough to have Taylor as my wedding planner for my wedding on October 15, 2022 and I can’t recommend her enough.
We decided to get married on a relatively short timeline of 5 months, and from the start Taylor was off to the races, making sure that within a couple of weeks we had the big vendors sorted out so that we knew that the event was a go. Taylor’s communication and organization skills were impeccable throughout, making it easy to collaborate on all of the different decisions that needed to be made. Somehow not a single action item ever escaped her!
The event was magical, and I felt so fortunate that I had Taylor there, so that I could be totally wrapped up in the experience and didn’t need to worry about anything. If anyone came to me with a question, I just sent them directly to Taylor! A huge THANK YOU to Taylor for an amazing event.So Eventful's reply:
Jess - Thank you so much for these kind words! It was definitely a team effort to bring this all together in a short amount of time, so I truly appreciate all of the hard work you put into it. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding (and welcome reception) to close out my 2022 season and still find myself gushing over the photos. Thank you again and I wish you and Jason the best!!
Cheers,
Taylor -

Oh Blimie Sent on 01/16/2023Jessi was amazing
We worked with Jessi P. for our wedding at Tre Posti, in St. Helena (09/15/22). Words cannot describe how amazing Jessi was, but we will try our best in this review. First and foremost, the communication leading up to the wedding was amazing. She was very descriptive and detailed on the exact things she needed from us. Her organization skills were on point. There was never a doubt as to whether we were on track leading up to the big day. Now, when we say she exceeded expectations on wedding day, that is NOT an exaggeration. We knew having a wedding planner would be helpful (day of) but we had no idea it would mean we did not have to worry about A SINGLE DETAIL during the ENTIRE day. That was amazing. She was seemingly everywhere at once. The wedding ran buttery smooth. We cannot recommend Jessi enough! -

Gretchen G. Sent on 11/16/2022Simply the best!
I have been working with the team at So Eventful for years and I love them! I've worked with many of the coordinators associated with So Eventful and have always had a fantastic experience! As a wedding photographer working with professionals who are organized and are aware of what the day of team requires, along with the couple, is vital. I always feel fully prepared with all of the necessary information day of and they always include me in the process of creating/finalizing the timeline. This is crucial to my work because light is everything :) Thank you So Eventful for being such wonderful team players! So many cheers & I can't wait to work with you next year!So Eventful's reply:
Hey Gretchen! We cannot thank you enough for these kind words! It is always a pleasure working with you and your team. Your attention to detail and fun personality makes our job so easy! Thank you for always being willing to go-with-the-flow and capture all of the beautiful moments! We cannot wait to work together again!

Taylor K. Sent on 11/14/2022Amazing Team!
I have worked with the SoEventful team on many occasions and have always been impressed by their professionalism, organization, out of the box ideas, wonderful vendor recommendations and each of the team members are so personable. If you're looking for a wedding coordination team in Northern California - look no further!So Eventful's reply:
Taylor and the whole Contour Bridal team are amazing, and a true testament to why having wonderful vendors work together to support our clients result in the most amazing events! We are always so happy to work alongside a wonderful team like Contour Bridal, and we look forward to many more events together in the years to come! -

Becky L. Sent on 09/12/2021Meghan M is the best !
We were very fortunate to have worked with Meghan as our month of wedding planner this fall. Like many couples, we had postponed our wedding twice due to Covid and Meghan was there through the whole process working with our venue / various vendors to set new dates and renegotiated contracts. Meghan is very detailed, organized and knowledgeable, but most importantly she is friendly and personable. It’s always a plus working with someone you like :) . Meghan knew exactly what she is doing. She asks the right questions and made many suggestions so that our day would flow smoothly. On the day of our wedding, I didn’t have a single thing to worry about . Meghan handled everything, made the timeline and coordinated that time line with all our vendors. I often hear stories of how stressful wedding planning can be and I honestly have to say I didn’t feel any stress throughout the whole process because we had Meghan! I knew we were in good hands so thank you Meghan again for your hard work. Hopefully we weren’t too difficult to work with with our last minute changes and wedding items you had to place 😂So Eventful's reply:
Becky and Andrew, you are one of the sweetest couples I have had the pleasure of working with. You were always so flexible and positive in the face of the many challenges Covid threw our way! Thank you for letting So Eventful and myself be a part of your special day. Wishing you two nothing but the best in your next chapter!

Joseph D. Sent on 01/31/2022Highly recommend!
So Eventful was fantastic to work with in planning and executing our wedding and we would highly recommend them to anyone. Our wedding was delayed due to Covid so we worked with two planners, Sam and eventually Taylor, and they were both excellent. Sam helped us select and manage our vendors, and shared many helpful tools that made planning more organized. When we transitioned to Taylor, she did a great job getting to know us and taking over management of our vendors; it was a very smooth process.
So Eventful is very professional and knowledgeable about the vendors, venues, and any regulations in the Napa area where we got married. Taylor helped us stay on top of deadlines and provided guidance for all our questions, from “does this contract change seem reasonable?” to “do we really need flowers in the bathroom?”. On the day of our wedding, Taylor managed all the logistics from set up to strike and left us free to truly be in the moment. We had no concerns throughout the day as she skillfully ensured things were set up properly and event staff and vendors knew what to do. Our family and friends even commented on how well she managed things and how seamless it all felt.
If you think you need any help or guidance in preparation for your wedding day, or for the day-of, we highly recommend So Eventful!

Jennifer L. Sent on 10/11/2019I can't imagine getting married without So Eventful
We can't say enough good things about JJ, our wedding planner from So Eventful! JJ was exceptionally organized, delightful to work with, and extremely effective. JJ exceeded all expectations of what a wedding planner can do.
Our venue was a remote family property with no electricity or water, and a guest list of 150 people. JJ helped us to manage the logistics during the planning process (rental numbers, tent layout, caterer coordination, etc), and handled the day-of activities seamlessly.
JJ had planning calls with us for months before our wedding, and learned about our vision for the event. As we identified challenges JJ was always there with a solution.
The comfort we had working with someone so skilled was irreplaceable. It helped me relax leading up to the wedding, and on the day of. I can't imagine what our wedding day would have been like without JJ!So Eventful's reply:
Jennifer & Ryan - Thank you so much for your kind words. It was an honor to work with you to help plan your beautiful day. You worked so hard to make every moment meaningful for you and your guests and it was everything you hoped for. Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of it. I am so thrilled to call you both friends and look forward to seeing your love grow for years to come.
Sincerely, Jennifer JJ -

Mackenzie S. Sent on 09/01/2020Incredible Attention to Detail
Jennifer (JJ) made sure that our event was still amazing despite the many changes we needed to make due to COVID. Her attention to detail and genuine caring nature ensured us that our special day would be stress-free and perfect! Jennifer thinks of everything you thought you needed and more! She is creative, flexible, and meticulous in the best way! I cannot recommend her enough. She is truly gifted in her trade!So Eventful's reply:
Mackenzie,
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you for your wedding in Lodi. While we had to make many adjustments due to COVID you were so understanding and considerate for both your vendors and family! I look forward to keeping in touch.

Heather A. Sent on 11/20/2019A pleasure to work with. So immensely helpful
When our son and fiancee asked if they might have their wedding at our home, my husband and I were thrilled. Having organized a few large gatherings I thought “ no problem”. Well, someone whispered in my ear “wedding planner.” I looked into it and found “So Eventful” in Healdsburg and we met Briana.
What can I say? Briana planned the wedding perfectly. She was always accessible and we came to depend on her. Philip and Jackie were so very pleased with all that she did for them, and us. Her tireless attention to the many details was impressive and so very much appreciated. - Always anticipating the next step and making sure nothing was overlooked, she worked with the florist, caterers, furniture rentals, Fancy Flush, and other vendors so they slipped in seamlessly the day before and the day of the wedding. She organized the shuttles from the hotels, and the shuttles from the drop off point at the bottom of the hill to the house.
Briana was there for the rehearsal telling us what to do and what not to do. On the wedding day she was unflappable as we watched the overcast sky. The sun came out as the wedding party prepared to walk from the house to the ceremony site. (Probably not Briana’s doing) She made sure that the 135 guests moved from the ceremony site to the terrace for appetizers and then to the petanque court for dinner, without a hitch. She made sure nobody missed a cue. Then finally back to the terrace for cake, dessert and dancing.
There was nothing she did not know about planning a wedding. A pleasure to work with. Thanks to Briana the bride and groom, I and everybody included in the wedding, had a perfectly wonderful day.
So Eventful's reply:
Heather,
It was an honor to help you and your family. You trusted me with my knowledge and expertise to help you enjoy your sons wedding with all the family and friends. It was an absolute dream to work with you and I was sad to see it end. Heather, you were so accommodating when I needed to visit your home with vendors and during our rentals install and breakdown. Cheers to adding a wonderful new daughter-in-law to your family Heather!

Jennifer Verdon made everything so wonderful. I knew I could trust her to make my wedding everything we had discussed. Every last detail of my wedding was carefully planned, and executed. On the day of my wedding, I did not have to worry about anything except getting ready, enjoying my girls, and getting ready to marry my best friend. I highly recommend Jennifer for any and all events.So Eventful's reply:
Maddie- It was a pleasure to get to know you and assist planning your wedding. All your sentimental details were uniquely you and I was thrilled to help you execute the perfect day!

So Eventful is a must for any wedding!
My husband and I were married in Lodi on 9/28/19 and Jennifer Verdon was our day of coordinator through So Eventful! She was AMAZING! We have her to thank for making sure the day went flawlessly! She worked with our vendors prior to the wedding and made sure they had a timeline and any questions answered. She rarely reached out to me for day of questions unless it was necessary. The day of the wedding I was stress free and was able to savor so many more moments knowing all the details were being handled. Using So Eventful was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and I am so grateful for to look back on our wedding as the BEST day of our lives.So Eventful's reply:
Gabi - It was an honor and pleasure to work with you! Your wedding was absolutely beautiful and I am so glad I got the opportunity know and work with you. I wish you and Eric a lifetime of happiness together and look forward to staying in touch.
Cheers, Jennifer JJ -

David B. Sent on 07/30/2019They did amazing job with our wedding!
Our wedding venue in wine country recommended So Eventful, we ended up working with Briana and she was amazing! She was so easy to work with and talk to. She kept us on track despite our busy life schedules and helped put together a perfect day! Briana was especially good at helping us work through seemingly small but important details, and alerting us to things we never would of thought of. On the big day she was there for everything we needed and kept everything running smoothly as can be. I'd highly recommend her and the so eventful staff!So Eventful's reply:
David and Alina,
I had such a great time helping you plan your wedding. Thank you for the opportunity to make your wedding dreams come true and help guide your wedding vision.
Cheers!

Alexis B. Sent on 08/01/2019Jennifer was literally the BEST!
AMAZING! Jennifer Madru planned our wedding on the Sonoma Coast this weekend - was absolutely couldn't have done it without her. She was there for every step of the planning process, meticulously thinking through all of the details. At first we thought that So Eventful was a little expensive, but having Jennifer on our team was worth every single penny. I wish I had another event to plan, so I could work with her again :).So Eventful's reply:
Alexis,
Thank you so much! Loved planning your special day — perfect weather, vibrant floral, a coastal sunset and canine ring bearer all made everything unique. Hope to plan another event with you in the future!
