Best of the Best!
We don’t even know where to begin with how amazing the team at Sweet Blossom is, especially Kylie! Kylie and her team made our special day a seamless experience. From the planning meetings, finding us a new vendor two weeks before the big day, and making our wedding day so special we are so grateful we had chosen Kylie and the team at Sweet Blossom. Kylie was thoughtful, detail oriented, and proactive. Also, we want to shout out Isabella who was our amazing day of coordinator. She was communicative and proactive on the big day.
We couldn’t have chosen a better wedding planner. If you are on the fence about Sweet Blossom Weddings, use this review as a reassurance you are making the right choice. Kylie, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! -

As an event planner myself, I know how much effort, attention to detail, organization, follow‑up, and love goes into every event. That’s why I can’t recommend Sweet Blossom Weddings and Jess Alexander enough! It was so fun collaborating on the design and planning out the details of our wedding. Jess was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process, and being able to ask her questions and lean on her advice really helped ease my stress. I felt zero stress on our wedding day knowing we were in Jess’s expert hands. If you want the wedding of your dreams to not only come to life but be executed with love and care, Sweet Blossom Weddings is the team to hire—especially if you can work directly with Jess. -

Working with the Sweet Blossom team for our special day was truly amazing. From the first call with the owner Melissa, to every interaction with our lead coordinator Dionne, they were great!
Dionne was truly incredible and played such a huge role in making our wedding everything we dreamed of and more. From the very beginning, she was there every step of the way by guiding us through decisions, offering thoughtful advice, and always making us feel confident about our choices. Dionne has such a calm, kind presence that instantly puts you at ease. She was always so supportive and affirming, which made the entire process actually enjoyable. On the wedding day itself, everything ran absolutely perfectly. If anything went wrong behind the scenes, we had no idea because Dionne and her team handled it all seamlessly. That allowed us, our families, and our guests to simply relax and fully enjoy the day without worrying about a single detail.
Dionne is organized, professional, incredibly kind, and truly passionate about what she does. We felt so lucky to have her by our side throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your day flawless while making the experience stress-free and joyful, Dionne and the Sweet Blossom team are the absolute best. We cannot recommend them enough! -

Melissa and the entire Sweet Blossom Weddings team were truly exceptional. Melissa, our lead planner, was unbelievable in helping us prep, design, and coordinate every aspect of our wedding day. She was incredibly responsive, endlessly innovative, and so design-forward, while also being warm, calm, and genuinely wonderful to work with. From the planning process to execution, we always felt supported and confident. On the wedding day itself, her team was absolutely top-notch. Everything ran seamlessly, and all we had to do was relax, be present, and have fun. We couldn’t have imagined a better planner or experience, and we’re endlessly grateful to Melissa and Sweet Blossom Weddings for bringing our vision to life so beautifully. Thank you Melissa! -

We cannot say enough great things about Sweet Blossom Weddings. Sweet Blossom Weddings came highly recommended from our venue (to use their words, "don't even bother looking into any other planners) and they could not have been more right. Dionne, our lead coordinator, truly made our day so magical and the additional coordinators were wonderful to work with. -

We can’t say enough great things about Dionne and the Sweet Blossom Team! From start to finish, she was absolutely incredible. She was always on top of every detail, organized, calm, and such a joy to work with. Throughout the entire planning process, she made everything feel easy and stress-free — we always felt like we were in great hands.
Her immaculate planning and preparedness is what led to our wedding day going perfectly. Truly nothing went wrong, and that’s entirely thanks to Dionne’s (and her team's) hard work and attention to detail. We were able to fully relax and enjoy the day, knowing she had everything handled behind the scenes.
We’re so grateful for her and can’t recommend her enough to any couple looking for a planner who is kind, professional, and truly exceptional at what she does. Their vendor recommendations were also so helpful and led to the best wedding ever! Dionne made our day everything we hoped for and more! -

We worked with Kylie and the Sweet Blossom Weddings team for our wedding this past August, and we honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about them. Kylie was such a kind, calming, and supportive presence throughout the entire process — so organized, professional, and just a joy to work with.
Our wedding day couldn’t have gone any smoother. Everything flowed perfectly, and we were able to be fully present and soak it all in knowing Kylie and her team had every detail handled. She anticipated needs before we even thought of them and made the day feel effortless.
We’re so grateful for all the care, warmth, and thoughtfulness that went into making our day so special. Thank you, Kylie and Sweet Blossom Weddings, for helping bring our vision to life — we couldn’t have done it without you! -

Nikki Sent on 10/10/2025Design and Planning exceeded expectations
We had a fantastic experience working with Kylie from Sweet Blossom Weddings and highly recommend them. We decided to work with SBW as my husband's sister worked with Melissa for her wedding in 2016 and their prices are competitive. We were lucky to be paired with Kylie and she was a great sounding board throughout, kept us organized and on schedule, and helped us bring our vision to life. Overall, we felt confident with Kylie at the helm and working with her was worth every penny.
We created a rough vision of what we wanted and Kylie connected us to great vendors and created a design board for us that looked even better in person on the day. She took the time to hear our feedback and understand what was important to us. Throughout working with Kylie, she was very communicative, responsive, and proactive, especially when coordinating vendors.
One of the best compliments we got after the wedding was of how smoothly the day went; guests never felt like they were waiting around and they were able to enjoy themselves and have a good time. This was definitely due to Kylie's efforts in creating a flawless timeline. Thank you Kylie!! -

Kylie and the entire Sweet Blossom Weddings team made the wedding planning process incredibly seamless. Kylie was a major reason our wedding day went so smoothly and felt stress-free.
The SBW team are excellent communicators—timely, responsive, and professional in all interactions, both with us and our vendors. Their expertise was evident in every detail, and they truly thought of everything.
Kylie and her team were organized, flexible, and handled the fast-paced environment so easily. Their positive energy throughout the day elevated the entire experience, and we’re so grateful for everything they did for us! -

We are beyond grateful for our wedding planner, Jasmine from Sweet Blossom Weddings. From our very first conversation, she immediately understood my style and vision. Jasmine is incredibly patient, thoughtful, and truly dedicated to her work. She completely understood the assignment, offering guidance and education where needed. Her advice, creativity, and eye for design were exactly what we were looking for.
She always responded to my emails, calls, and texts so quickly, which gave me complete peace of mind throughout the planning process. She connected us with amazing vendors—every single one we selected from her recommendations was fantastic. My only regret is not choosing all of her suggested vendors, because she clearly knows the very best in the industry. Thank you, Jasmine and the entire SBW team!
What impressed me most was how responsible and detail-oriented she is. Jasmine guided us every step of the way and made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Thanks to her, our wedding day turned out more beautiful than we ever imagined.
If you’re looking for someone who is patient, professional, and has an incredible eye for detail, I cannot recommend Jasmine highly enough. She is truly the best wedding planner! -

The most amazing experience
We’ll never forget how wonderful our wedding day was and we owe that all to the team at Sweet Blossom Weddings! We worked with SBW for wedding management (their Pear Blossom package) and everything went so smoothly from start to finish.
Our lead planner Jess was so proactive and communicative every step of the way - she was a superstar. I’m typically a very organized type A sort of person, but with Jess we felt like we could take a step back and had the utmost confidence in her and the team to execute and help us make a lot of decisions in the few months leading up to the wedding! Jess had so many great ideas and advice - we trusted her wholly and she had such an empathetic ear whenever we had any questions or ideas.
Our wedding day went so smoothly and beautifully thanks to Jess, Heather, and Kaylie. Everyone was so professional and we’re grateful for their expertise and coordination, as that allowed us to soak in the moments of the day and just truly enjoy without any stress.
We would absolutely recommend Sweet Blossom Weddings to any couple looking for a supportive, professional, and communicative partner in planning their big day! We couldn’t have done it without team SBW.

Highly recommend Sweet Blossom. Our coordinator Kylie was so easy to work with, was extremely responsive, and was on top of every little detail. From attending our tasting & floral mockup, to when she started communicating with our vendors, and having her at our rehearsal - it was very helpful to have someone I trusted to step in and take that work off my plate & be a sounding board as we got close to the date. The day of everything went so smoothly. The bridal assistant Danielle was very helpful, and it felt like Kylie was 2 steps ahead the entire day to make sure everything went great. They blew my expectations out of the water and thanks to them my wedding felt like the most beautiful day ever. Thank you! -

Melissa was so incredible! Our only regret was not getting a higher package so she could have helped us with more. The day of the wedding was completely flawless. She took all of our materials in the morning and set them up beautifully. We were amazed when we saw the reception and cocktail area.
Her assistant Kylie was so amazing too. I was a bit nervous for the day and having her around helped calm my nerves. She had a solution for any little thing we needed including adding a new whole to my shoes because they were too big.
10/10 recommend Melissa and her wonderful team! -

I DJ’d a wedding where I worked with Jess from Sweet Blossom Weddings at Rancho Bernardo Inn and I want to say that it was absolutely awesome. Jess is so on top of everything and well-organized that it made my job easier for myself and that says a lot about her ability to lead a team and work well with others. Additionally, Jess is very friendly and personable, and she has her clients’ best interest in mind with all decisions that are made. Jess never missed a beat and was very professional. Thanks for all of your help to throw an amazing wedding, Jess! -

Melissa and Sweet Blossom Weddings gave me the wedding of my dreams!
Melissa and Sweet Blossom Weddings gave me the fairytale wedding of my dreams! I hired Sweet Blossom Weddings for partial planning services and it was the best decision I made during the wedding planning process. After an extensive and at times bizarre search for a wedding planner, I spoke to Melissa on the phone and immediately knew that I wanted to hire Sweet Blossom Weddings. She came across as calm yet confident, friendly but take charge, and those all proved to be true in the twelve-plus months that I worked with her.
Planning a wedding is such a daunting experience and I don’t know what I would’ve done without Melissa, who has tons of experience and connections, guiding me through the process. She took the time to get to know me and my fiancé, helped us set a budget, created a gorgeous design board, connected us with amazing vendors, combed through our event orders, and generally just made sure we made the right decisions at the right times. One highlight was when she caught that I accidentally ordered beige linens and napkins when I meant to order light blue napkins. (I know that sounds minor but I didn’t spend over a year planning a wedding to have beige on beige in my table scape!) Sweet Blossom Weddings also provides you with access to aisle planner and have an extremely detailed checklist to help guide you through the planning process as well as helpful guides for tipping, vendor interviews, etc. Melissa was also always available throughout the planning process to answer random questions, join vendor calls, and would even suggest video check-ins or phone calls at various points in the planning process to catch up.
Melissa and her team were also all stars on our wedding day. Melissa ensured that everything was set up perfectly and that the day went without a hitch. My maid of honor said it best when she said, “I love Melissa. She’s a HBIC who wasn’t going to let anything bad happen on your wedding day.” The Sweet Blossom Weddings bridal and set-up assistants—Mae and Jess—were also godsends on the day of the event. I spent the most time with Mae as my bridal assistant, and she helped guide me through the day, gathering everything for my detail shots, connecting with transportation and the photographer, holding my train, and, together with Melissa and Jess, taking care of all set-up, logistics, and coordination to ensure that I got to be present with my friends and family and actually enjoy my wedding.
When people ask me about my wedding, I get to say without hesitations that “It was perfect.” And that’s all thanks to Melissa and Sweet Blossom Weddings!

Emma and her team >>>> other wedding planners
Emma and her team did an AMAZING job!!! With a sick moh, missing groom clothes, and a spill on my dress (which Emma was able to get out before our first dance!!) these girls make our day amazing and stress free! She was super responsive (coming from a very type A bride) and very kind! Her college Jasmine was great as well! Even taught my husband how to slow dance because we didn't practice lol but I can't recommend Sweet Blossom more! Also Emma's hat was amazing (: -

I am SO glad my husband and I worked with SBW! Melissa and her team (I worked with Melissa, Kaylie, and Kylie) were incredible and made the process extremely easy for us! Melissa is very well connected within the industry and had a great list of recommendations for each vendor category. She was very helpful in helping us articulate our vision to vendors, and offered fantastic advice regarding decor, etc. She made postponing a wedding during the pandemic feel like a breeze, which is not an easy thing to do. I would absolutely recommend SBW to any couple!! THANK YOU ALL AGAIN! -

We had the best experience using Sweet Blossom Weddings! I would highly recommend them to any bride looking for an amazing team to help them plan their wedding! My maid of honor used them for her wedding and I got to see first hand how amazing they were on the day of her wedding. It made it an easy choice when I was looking for a planner! Melissa is super responsive, helpful and great to work with! We primarily worked with Emma on her team and we can’t say enough good things about her! She went above and beyond to ensure every detail of the day was perfect - I am so thankful we were paired with her! She is super thoughtful resourceful, detail oriented, hardworking, super nice, and generally just an awesome energy to have around you during your wedding weekend. She also last minute helped us with our rehearsal dinner as well and she did a fantastic job! Thank you Emma (and day of team) for all that you did for us! We are forever grateful! Brides! Hire SBW and ask for Emma!! She will exceed all expectations! -

Best Wedding Planner Right Here!!!!
Melissa and team are the sweetest and most organized team. They are approachable and easy to get along with. You can really see the joy in their hearts when they are doing what they love! We were able to enjoy every moment of our wedding because we knew Melissa was handling everything. Olivia rocked it with our bridal party. We had a HUGE wedding party (over 20ppl with kids) and she kept them on time and in line. They have a yes attitude and if there is something thats difficult they work hard to figure out the best options. Weddings are not easy and mine was at a family home, catered by a family restaurant who doesn't specialize in weddings. We know how hard Melissa and her team worked to make the day a success and we are forever grateful . Our guests continue to rave how amazing the day was and we couldn't have done it without Melissa and team. Thank you so so much! 💓 -

I can't begin to explain how wonderful Melissa and Mackenzie were throughout our planning experience. They were so organized and assisted us in more ways than I could have imagined. They were able to answer all of our questions and if they didn't know, they would find out. As a control freak in my daily life, I had no problem letting go of that control after seeing the timeline (to the minute!) they created for our wedding activities. They were so calming, encouraging and positive throughout. I couldn't recommend them enough! -

Camille Sent on 12/03/2020Working with Melissa was a dream!
From our first meeting she felt like the older sister that I never had. She is so fun and personable but also SO professional and detail oriented at the same time. I felt calm and comfortable on the day of the wedding knowing that she had everything under control.
Melissa knows San Diego and Orange County wedding venues in and out, but we ended up selecting a venue a little further away that she had never been to. She did a fantastic job of coordinating with the venue and getting to know the location, it felt like she had done dozens of events there! We got married during the pandemic and she did a great job of keeping up with the changing regulations as well.
Choosing to hire Melissa as a wedding coordinator was one of the best decisions I made! -

Melissa and her team are absolutely amazing. If you’re a bride on the go, Sweet Blossom Weddings is PERFECT for your big day. Me and my husband work two full time jobs and had a new baby on top of the two we already have. We had no time to do anything outside of hiring my vendors. I was able to hand Melissa all of our contracts and they helped me fine tune my vision and pulled off a flawless rehearsal and wedding day from beginning to end. Melissa and her team were my dream team, I’m am confident that every member of her team handles their events with the same level of care and expertise that she did. During COVID we had more than our share of hurdles but Melissa and her positive attitude was such a big relief. Thinking back on my wedding day, I couldn’t have done it at all without Her. We thank you and are forever grateful. -

I cannot say enough good things about Sweet Blossom Weddings, specifically Mackenzie! My husband and I are from Indiana, but decided to plan an intimate wedding in San Diego with close friends and family. We first met Mackenzie in person in February of 2019. We were only in San Diego for three days and it rained every day, but despite the rain Mackenzie helped us to make the most of our time. She took us to a handful of stunning venues then sat down with us over coffee and went over the numbers. We ended up picking a beautiful venue and over the next year Mackenzie helped us find a team of incredible vendors for our spring wedding.
Unfortunately COVID put a wrench in our plans and like so many other couples we had to postpone our wedding. Mackenzie corresponded with all our vendors to make sure our new date worked and made it so easy for us!
Just a month before our new wedding date, our venue informed us they would no longer be able to deliver the wedding we envisioned. In just four weeks Mackenzie helped us find a new venue that was so much better than I ever dreamed. She put together the perfect wedding - even in the midst of a global pandemic.
I will forever be grateful for Mackenzie and the team at Sweet Blossom Weddings for everything they did for us over the past year and half. Working with them not only allowed us to have our dream wedding, but they also took away so much of the stress of wedding planning and allowed us to enjoy our engagement! -

Amanda Sent on 01/07/2020SO worth it!!!
Working with Sweet Blossom Weddings was so amazing! I worked with Melissa as my lead planner, and her experience in this industry and with my wedding venue was invaluable. She is so respected by venues and other vendors and it is totally deserved. I loved that SBW had several different packages I could choose from (I knew I wanted more than day-of coordination but I didn't want full-planning). Working with Melissa with the package I chose was perfect for me, as I enjoyed doing a lot of the research and creative details but needed her to help keep us on track! Obviously the service on the actual wedding day is what you will remember and be affected by the most, and this is where Melissa and her team really shined. First, it is so so helpful that the lead planner will also bring 2 assistants on your wedding day. The team of 3 was so amazing at keeping everyone calm, managing family members, setting up all of our decor, and (maybe most importantly) keeping the day running on schedule (or close enough to it)! It is nice to have those extra sets of eyes and hands. Melissa even bustled my dress for me! Last but definitely not least, Melissa and her assistants helped us manage our two dogs around the property (as they were needed for some but not all photos) and Melissa went above and beyond checking on my dogs multiple times throughout the night. She is such an angel! SBW is a great value for your money, and I highly recommend this company. -

Our experience with Sweet Blossom Weddings was absolutely INCREDIBLE. Especially the support we received from Mackenzie Fultz, which was so far beyond remarkable that it is honestly hard for me to put in to words how thankful my wife and I are with how excellent Mackenzie was in single handedly orchestrating the most AMAZING day of our lives!! It was definitely a night we will remember forever, and the perfect start to an everlasting marriage. We are very sad that our wedding has come and gone, and part of that sadness is not working and communicating with Mackenzie anymore.
Mackenzie and her team went above and beyond, and exceeded every expectation we had as a wedding planner. Her commitment and dedication towards planning our wedding was really wonderful, and she truly is just a genuinely nice and wonderful individual. We were able to present our vision for our wedding, and Mackenzie made it in to reality. It is evident that she has a real passion for what she does, and our wedding was truly a priority from day one. We are so lucky that we found her.
One thing that must be mentioned, is how professional and organized the SBW team was on our wedding day. The day was planned down to the minute, and executed FLAWLESSLY!! Both my wife and I were stress free, and were able to just take in the moment, and just enjoy our day. All our feedback with Sweet Blossom Weddings was positive, and there is nothing negative or anything we would change about the whole experience. I have already told all my friends and family, the best engagement gift I could possibly give them, is our recommendation for Mackenzie and her team as their wedding planner, because they have and will always have our highest recommendation. -

What would I do without Sweet Blossom Weddings?
When meeting with wedding planners I came across many different personalities and planning styles. I made several calls to different planners (some who rejected me, which I laugh at in retrospect). One in particular made it sound like I would be doing all the work, which I should’ve been wary of because I met them at their house for *their* convenience. After reading many good reviews about Sweet Blossom Weddings I was able to make an appointment to meet with Melissa Reinke and her colleague MacKenzie. Unlike any of the planners I’d met with prior, she came prepared with a folder and information of the different packages her team offered and what those packages meant. The names of her packages were also consistent with the name of her business—after different types of blossoms. I think it’s so cute and represents her attention to detail.
The way Melissa and Mackenzie were able to dive right into business while maintaining a friendly, upbeat demeanor was perfect. That combined with their organization convinced my fiancé and me that Sweet Blossom Weddings was the one for us.
The packages were easy to understand and customizable to fit our needs. We went with the full service package (Cherry Blossom) and Melissa was our primary contact. She was always able to talk and meet when we needed her, which means a lot to any bride-to-be who can be stressed by the littlest things.
Her knowledge of local venues was plentiful. She is full of wonderful ideas about design and different ways to accommodate venues (like bringing in catering if a venue doesn’t offer it)—my only wish was that we had more budget for her to play with to really go wild and make our wedding a gigantic production. We still had 93 guests and a gorgeous set-up and I believe she and her team left a beautiful mark on our day that no other planner could have achieved. She connected us with vendors within our budget who did great work providing their services, and she kept me on schedule for any payments I needed to make to vendors, as well as reminded me of things I needed to provide the day of like special decor I wanted to include.
Melissa joined me on several of the vendor meetings prior to the big day, which I was so grateful for because she knew all the right questions to ask. She even found some mariachis and met with them to give them a deposit so I didn’t have to make the long drive.
On the big day, everything felt seamless because of Melissa and her team. The bridal assistant she kept with me—Katelyn—was terrific. Katelyn put on and took off my veil, helped when the photographer needed volume in my veil by gracefully tossing the back of it up, picked up my train (I had no bridesmaids) and was there for every other little thing I needed. What can I say? Thinking about the way Sweet Blossom Weddings made our day so perfect makes me misty. I don’t know what I would’ve done without Melissa and her team. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants their day to be stress free and beautiful! -

SBW team provided exceptional service! We honestly could not have asked for a better team of coordinators on the day of! Not only were they super kind and professional, but they really took the time to get to know us and make us and our guests/wedding party feel so comfortable. They were so respectful and did a spectacular job!
Our wedding was quite a production with elements packed into the timeline and the SBW team managed our wedding with ease and perfection! I have to commend them on wrangling a 28 person wedding party and 200 family and friends with calmness and poise! The day honestly wouldn't have been the same without the SBW team and we owe it to Melissa, Kaitlin, and Olivia for making our wedding go off without a hitch! Thanks so much from the bottom of our hearts!

SBW - awesome to work with! Highly recommend.
We were recently married in San Diego (Feb 2019) at Mary, Star Of The Sea Catholic Church and La Jolla Woman’s Club. I had been doing all the planning for the wedding and for a time went back and forth on whether a day of coordinator package was needed. If you are in that boat and wondering if spending the additional $1.5 - $2k is worth it, I would highly recommend going for it. The amount of stress it took off my plate was worth double the amount I paid.
I worked with Mackenzie who I cannot recommend enough. She was the perfect mix of being on top of her stuff but also flexible. Six weeks before the Wedding she took over interactions with Vendors. She chased down the ones that never picked up the phone or responded to emails. She coordinated who was bringing what and when. All these details that I never thought about but made the day go smoothly. When I changed my mind on a few items or wanted last minute adds, she made it happen.
Rehearsal: on the day of the rehearsal Mackenzie was there to run the show. I got to see the flower arrangement in the church and realized that we needed drapes for the pedestals. Mackenzie spent her Friday night running around to Michael’s and other shops finding drapes while I went off to the Rehearsal Dinner and enjoyed time with family and friends.
Day Of: As fate would have it, it torrentially poured the day of my Wedding. While I was getting ready, Mackenzie was at La Jolla Woman’s Club executing plan B for set up (the plan for rain). Mackenzie and I had at a high level discussed what we would do if it rained but not all the details. I never felt like I had to go to that level of detail because Mackenzie understood my style and what I was looking for. The setup looked amazing. Everything was pulled indoors and arranged beautifully. After the day of I heard that the caterer showed up with the Wedding Cake and had decorated it with carrots (it was a carrot cake). Mackenzie took one look at it and knew that wouldn’t work. She had the caterer go and fix it. Cake look gorgeous and I would have never known aside from being told later.
Kaitlyn was assigned to be by my side throughout the day. Kaitlyn showed up while I was starting to get ready and I was able to relax at that point knowing that all the small details were in her hands. She carried all my items, was getting things prepped for the photographer, keeping us on schedule, making sure I didn’t forget to bring anything. At one point during the day while we were out taking photos in the pouring rain I looked over at Kaitlyn who was making sure I was under an umbrella at all times. She was standing in the pouring rain getting soaked just to make sure we were getting the perfect artsy shot. She was great.
I could go on with more stories. I would choose them again in a heartbeat. Best of luck with your planning! -

Melissa and her ladies with Sweet Blossom Weddings are pure gold... without them, I can't even imagine how we would have made it all happen! A friend at work told me the basics about how great SBW was for her own wedding, and I called Melissa the next day. From the moment I met her, I knew she was worth every penny. She was friendly, enthusiastic, and truly interested in me as a person, my (future) husband, us as a couple, and what was most important to us about our special day. When I asked if she'd be willing to travel to Lake Arrowhead, California for our wedding... she said, "I'd love to!" She even met us up a twisty mountain road at the venue in March for a tour and food/cake tasting in the extremely thick fog and snow. There were aspects that we were looking for that were different from most weddings, and she made it happen like you wouldn't believe!! We wanted a Sunday brunch wedding (which meant a very early morning), along with a lake-side beach BBQ that same evening with beach games and a fire-pit for a fun and relaxing evening. Melissa took everything in stride, and made our vision into an incredible reality. The two ladies she brought to assist with all of the details were friendly and sweet, bent over backwards to make sure we had whatever we needed, and the entire day ran like clockwork. I loved being able to bounce ideas off of them, loved that I had someone to turn to who was equally as excited and invested about our wedding as we were, and who was more than willing to go the extra mile to make it exactly what we were envisioning. She offers the use of Aisle Planner (a wedding planning website that made my organization COMPLETELY manageable!), and also provided several ideas for decor, vendors, and timeline alterations. Melissa was always approachable, supportive, and fun to work with through the planning process... but we truly couldn't have managed the actual wedding day without her. Everything was on time ( to the minute!), was set-up perfectly, and all of the Sweet Blossom girls remained calm and composed for the whole day. By far, having a wedding planner/coordinator was the best money we could have ever spent (not only for the quality of the day, but also for saving our sanity), and going with Melissa was the icing on the cake!! We've already referred her to other friends, and have been in their weddings... which were also amazing! She's a gem, and I truly adore her as a person. Book her!... you surely won't regret it. -

Anne Sent on 09/24/2018I am an older bride who was convinced I could manage my wedding day on my own, but started to worry as our date approached. I was so lucky I found Mackenzie Fultz and her team at Sweet Blossom weddings!! I selected day-of service, but received so much more than that. They thought of EVERYTHING, and provided a level of service that I had not imagined possible. We had a morning ceremony at the Park Hyatt Aviara, followed by a seated lunch, followed by a larger reception that evening at Il Fornaio in Del Mar, so it was quite a long day. Our Sweet Blossom team stuck with us the entire day and ensured that each event ran perfectly smoothly and on time, and smiled through it all! Mackenzie’s expertise, efficiency, organization and professionalism are unsurpassed, and her warmth and friendliness put us at ease and let us know we were in excellent hands. Tauri and Kaitlin assisted that day and I don’t know what we would have done without them as well. If I could give Sweet Blossom 10 stars, I would!! -
Janice Sent on 06/25/2018Melissa and her team was AMAZING!! From day 1 of meeting her until the moment we said "I Do", everything went smoothly. We chose the month of package and felt she was very useful from the get go. She made us feel so comfortable with her and Melissa was very personable. She helped so much with our planning process and lessen our wedding stress by ALOT. We had so many little details to our wedding and different Chinese culture added to it and Melissa did so well in making all of them come true! We lived about 2 hrs from the venue and most of the times we met at our Venue, however, when we can't she was even willing to drive out 1hr out of her way for us. We got so many compliments from all of our friends on how amazing our planner was and how organize and professional she was and the whole team. We went to a couple of weddings after ours with mutual friends and most of them said our Wedding Coordinator was the best of all. They said they were very polite, genuine, professional, and organized. We will definitely recommend you to everyone we know!! We both love you Melissa!!!

Nikita Sent on 06/24/2018I don't even know where to begin. Melissa and her team at Sweet Blossom Weddings was the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. Not only did she have an established relationship with our venue, the Park Hyatt Aviara, which made decision making a breeze, but she was just so there for me during every step of the way during this incredibly daunting process. I live in New York, so we brought her and her team on as full service planners for a destination Indian/fusion 2-3 day wedding. She pointed me in the right direction for things I didn't care too much about and backed me up when I needed it throughout and really brought my vision to life with the vendors we locked in. They were so professional and buttoned up leading up to and the weekend of. I felt like I was their only client the whole time, knowing full well that I'm not - that's the sign of a good planner who comes at an amazing value. No need to think about it - hire them for your wedding!

Christine Sent on 01/19/2018Charm & her team exceeded my expectations for our San Diego wedding at Loews Coronado. Even before we signed a contract, Charm was easily accessible and always willing to help with vendor referrals (we found an incredible florist through her referrals). We purchased the month-of coordination package which was perfect for us and our 180 person wedding/reception. In addition to confirming logistics & details with our vendors, Charm plotted out the timeline of our wedding day which was one of the toughest jobs! She made sure all vendors (especially the photographer) were happy and everything ran incredibly smoothly on our wedding day! If something went wrong, I still don’t know about it and it has been almost 3 months! The bridal assistants that come with the package are so helpful—they have everything you can think of from deodorant to Band-Aids and were by my side all day long making sure I ate lunch & dinner and stayed hydrated. Charm was in charge of our reception and made sure we were staying on time—she liaised with all of our vendors and was great about giving me updates quickly throughout the course of the day. SBW was the best choice for us and we couldn’t be more grateful for their help. Thank you!

Michelle Sent on 04/08/2017HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
I am so glad we put our trust in Melissa Reinke and the Sweet Blossom Wedding team to coordinate our wedding. Not only are they super ORGANIZED, PREPARED, and PROFESSIONAL, but also SWEET, CARING, SUPPORTIVE, and GENUINE. They encompass everything you want in a wedding coordinator!! Melissa and her assistants were prepared with each minute detail of the day, from the ceremony to the reception, to the décor and the gifts. She even made sure that all the valuable items of the day remained safe and secure (which was extremely important to me). Her team is able to handle any situation that might arise on your wedding day.
Melissa and her team are worth the investment!! They are passionate about their work, and will make sure you are 110% IN LOVE with your wedding! Even my family members and friends commented on how motivated, engaged, and on top of things throughout the day! Words can’t express how thankful I am for Melissa and her team for making our wedding day so incredibly special and memorable!!! -

Alyssa Sent on 11/05/2015I just got married in September and having Melissa and her team help us with the last few months of wedding planning, especially for the day of, was absolutely amazing! They took care of every little detail and made sure if something were to wrong that I didn't hear about it and it would just be fixed. Having Nikole stay with me the whole day was so much more than I expected. She put me at ease answering questions and just being there to hold my dress. They were truly everywhere that we needed them. I felt like the day went by nearly perfect and exactly how I imagined it and I know that they were such a crucial part of how perfect it was! I would highly recommend this awesome team. They were such a pleasure to work with! -

Alison Sent on 09/16/2014The BEST thing we did was hiring Sweet Blossom as our wedding coordinator for our August 31, 2014 wedding day. We were very impressed right off the bat with Melissa's organizational skills which was a priority in our wedding planning process. I had been a bridesmaid in the past and witnessed some coordinators MIA or on their phone sitting in the back (not fun!). Melissa always was available to reach and responded promptly to all of our emails. Her professionalism throughout the wedding process was exceptional. She showed so much dedication to our wedding planning by being prompt to vendor meetings and really supported what we wanted/vision we had for the wedding. She took my vision and made it into a magical reality. Her timeline made the whole wedding process smooth and her timeline for the wedding was planned to the T which was exactly what we wanted. Ready for the best part brides? The day of, my bridesmaids (and they are the ones that notice) and I did not notice one whoops! It was flawless (seriously) and that wasn't magic but because Melissa and her amazing assistants were on top of EVERYTHING! I would hire Melissa a million times over and would recommend her to any bride looking for an amazing wedding coordinator backed by an awesome team. -

Lauren Sent on 08/19/2014Words can't express what a wonderful job Melissa did! She took my attention to detail and ramped it up a notch! I never had any doubt she would execute the wedding vision, and she made it even more perfect than I could imagine! She communicated with me and shared in the excitement throughout the engagement period, and when it came time to begin her contracted period, she did a fantastic job! She made sure things like the napkin fold was what I wanted, even when I wasn't offered a choice by the venue. She brought her own ribbon to tie the belly bars during cocktail hour, and she mailed me "I Do" stickers for the bottoms of my wedding shoes. We had a ton of personal items and she handled them all with organization and care. Nothing was broken, and I thought for sure something would have with all the handling that was done! It was her attention to detail and care that really meant the world. She went above and beyond! She is affordable and worth every penny...and this is coming from a bride who thought at the beginning she didn't even need a coordinator, and was only hiring one because the venue required it! If you are looking for an amazing coordinator who will go above and beyond, Melissa with Sweet Blossom Weddings is your girl! Thank you Melissa! -

Stephanie Sent on 08/01/2018My husband and I are so thankful we hired Kat, from Sweet Blossom Weddings for Month of Coordination for our May 2018 wedding at the Rancho Bernardo Inn. Kat met with us at the beginning of our planning process, at our tasting, and again about 4 weeks before the date to help us plan our day. Given that my husband and I were fairly new to San Diego, Kat was instrumental in facilitating multiple vendor recommendations. Our vendors were within our budget and matched the style that we were seeking for our wedding. Most importantly she was responsive with phone calls and email, all of which guided us in planning not only a wonderful wedding, but a wonderful weekend for our guests (all of whom were from out of state). No detail was overlooked. Kat solved little day of glitches without breaking a sweat- I forgot our table numbers at our house and lost the directions on how to bustle my dress. Kat and her team were able to find a perfect replacement for the table numbers and expertly figured out how to bustle my dress. Our wedding day was all that we imagined and I think our guests enjoyed themselves too. Thank you Kat!!!
