Julie is fantastic. She doesn't miss any details. She has a great personality and keeps you extremely calm on your special day, which is a gift. Thanks Julie.

The Best Wedding Planner For You
This review is LONG overdue! We got married 7.4.2022 at Etherial Gardens but our original date was 2.25.2021. Due to the pandemic, we needed to reschedule our wedding date. Julie was amicable, professional, attentive, and willing to get on calls with us throughout the covid ordeal. What we loved about Julie is that although there was a long period between our original date and new wedding date, she was extremely organized with the original notes from the venue, us, and any discussions we had with the vendors. Plus, she has excellent relationships and connections with the local vendors. Julie doesn't play around either! She tells it how it is and won't sugarcoat things for you. She will let you know if something is a good idea or not but will always side with what you want as a couple.
The day of our wedding, we did not notice ANYTHING WRONG. If anything did happen, we weren't aware or she fixed it right away. She made the whole day flow flawlessly. I would HIGHLY recommend Julie as your wedding planner. We booked her for the month but honestly, the month service became almost a two year service commitment. She is reasonably priced for her years of expertise and you can't beat her price compared to other wedding planners that may offer less services in their packages. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND for booking her for the month of coordination service. I am a very hands on person so I loved planning my wedding but Julie was the icing on the cake I needed. That last month before your wedding, YOU WILL NEED HELP and of course, the day of your wedding. Our venue provided in-house event coordinators but Julie completed the team. Again, highly recommend Julie, from The Best Wedding For You in San Diego, CA for your wedding, whether it is for the month of coordination, month of coordination Plus, or a full service coordination. Oh and her husband is a DJ too!

Thank You, Julie!
In looking for a wedding planner for our wedding day, Julie Scrivener came highly recommended by our wedding venue, the Japanese Friendship Garden at Balboa Park. It was apparent from our first conversation that Julie was passionate and a seasoned veteran when it came to San Diego wedding planning. Her connections to fabulous vendors that she had built great relationships and repertoire with was an unparalleled asset when it came to planning our wedding. Julie was communicative, patient, kind and insightful through multiple COVID postponements from the start of planning our wedding in early 2019 to finally celebrating July 3, 2022. Julie particularly shined through on the day of our wedding - everything went smoothly and calmly, and Julie made sure that my husband & I were well taken care of. Thank you, Julie, for the years of planning and for being such an important part of our special once in a lifetime day!

Experience Like No Other
Julie was fantastic! Our wedding was supposed to be in 2020 and then 2021 and then finally in 2022. She stuck around and restarted the processes every time and was always on the ball. She offered great suggestions when we were out of our element and rolled with any suggestions we had. My husband and I are serial procrastinators and she was able to make sure everything got done and gave us the pressure we needed to follow through. She also dealt with my mom who could be a lot. Truly an experienced, competent, and special planner. Highly recommend!

Julie is an amazing coordinator!!
Julie is amazing on all fronts- organized, professional, knowledgeable. We did the month of coordinator. She is reasonably priced and as a couple made of graduate/medical students that was something important to us. She is also very nice and helpful. When our wedding was postponed twice (i.e. 3 different wedding dates) due to the covid pandemic, she was flexible and willing to continue to work with us. I will say to look at what the wedding coordinator option includes: we didn't realize that creating a layout of the venue (i.e. where tables, chairs, DJ, cake, buffet, etc.) was supposed to be completed by us and not her. (Thankfully she helped us create a layout as she knew the venue and was able to give her input!!) We also had a catering fiasco (catering company almost did not honor our contract from 2019 for our 2022 wedding due to the "prices being too low" and Julie was able to help advise us and give her input. Only thing that probably could've been improved (and it's very minute) was the creating the "day of schedule" on word doc and having us edit and send to her... it probably would have been easier to create a google doc because then we could just comment/edit at the same time. But she's been in the business for 10+ years so she has a method that works for her! On the wedding day itself, Julie was very organized and if there were mini fires (or really any fires) we had no idea because she was able to handle it all so we could enjoy our wedding worry/stress free. Would 100% choose to work with Julie and recommend you all to do the same too!

Just an amazing person to have on your wedding day
Julie is AMAZING! She was our month-of coordinator and we could not be more absolutely pleased with her work ethic and how she treated us. She is a great communicator. She was such a godsend on the day of our wedding. We could not have asked for a better person to walk us thru the whole day, the level of attentiveness and effectiveness is bar none. I'm so happy we met and worked with Julie.

Julie is amazing!
Julie was recommended to us by our wedding venue. We ended up hiring both Julie and her husband, Mick (Elite British DJ) for our wedding and we're sooo glad we did. Her month-of service was perfect. Right when I was losing steam and starting to feel overwhelmed by the logistics, Julie stepped in and pulled everything together. I'm very detail oriented and Julie was still catching my mistakes left and right. She's professional, calm, and was attentive to our needs throughout the whole process. Our wedding day turned out perfect and a lot of it was thanks to Julie's hard work. I couldn't recommend her more.

Julie the Master of Wedding Planners
Julie has to be the most talented wedding planner in the world. I cannot imagine having another planner for the most special day of our lives. Not only did she make our entire day function with no obstacles, but, she made the whole process of wedding planning so much fun. Julie is a master at her craft and worth so much more. She made sure we were living in the moment every second of the day with no worries and always stress free. It was the most beautiful day of my life and everything was absolutely perfect. My husband and I have an inside joke that "we wish Julie was handling this". Florida is so lucky she moved. We miss you Julie!

Awesome Coordinator
We would not have made it through the wedding planning process without Julie! She helped us with vendor selection, logistics, day of timeline, and answered our many, many questions along the way. She also helped us postpone due to the pandemic, which made a very stressful process as easy as it could have been! She was also very sensitive to family member's safety concerns and came up with great ideas to keep everyone comfortable. The day of our wedding went so smoothly and everyone was able to relax and completely enjoy the day, all thanks to Julie!

Julie is the best!
My husband and I hired Julie (and Mick) for our wedding and we're so glad we did. Julie helped us with everything from sourcing and booking vendors to day-of coordination services. She was so helpful throughout the entire process and was an invaluable source of knowledge for us to draw on as we figured out different aspects of our wedding weekend. Julie did an amazing job juggling all the moving pieces leading up to (and on the day of) the wedding. On our wedding day, everything ran so smoothly thanks to her attention to detail, professionalism, and poise. She even managed to help our groomsmen pull off a big last minute surprise without disrupting the flow of the wedding at all! Honestly, Julie is fantastic and I would highly recommend her. She'll make sure your day is flawless.

Best wedding duo ever!
I cannot say enough good things about our fairy godmother aka wedding planner Julie! Where do I begin. I grew up in San Diego and moved away after college but always dreamed about coming home to get married. I just want to say whether you are a local or long distance bride Julie goes above and beyond in every way to make your day the best it can be! Not only is she the sweetest lady but she truly cares about what she does. She starts about three months before your wedding with every referral you could possibly imagine! From our grooms cake to room blocks at Lowes for our out of town guests (including us). Then a month before she really gets into all the details including a four page information page where she goes over every possible detail she may need to know! From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave! She coordinated our entire timeline which was so difficult to nail down. She put out our name cards, and decorated our plates with cookies and custom m&m’s not to mention taking down our floral arch from our ceremony and putting it on our sweetheart table. We literally would not have been able to get married in my home town without Julie!. Julie I cannot thank-you enough for making this wedding one we will remember all our lives! I highly recommend her.

The best money you will ever spend!
Julie is truly a life saver! By far the best money we spent on our wedding was having Julie help us with the entire planning process! She is worth every penny! We had a COVID-postponed wedding and would have been incredibly stressed if it wasn't for her amazing coordination! Throughout the 2-year long wedding process, she was always extremely responsive, organized and really helped us plan for things we never even considered! Especially on the wedding day, it was amazing how well everything was coordinated and she really helped to keep us on schedule. Julie also did so much behind the scenes to coordinate with our wedding vendors, which took everything off our plate! I truly recommend her services to everyone and highly recommend getting the full package! You won't be sorry!

The absolute BEST wedding planner!
My husband and I both agree that hiring Julie was the best decision we made for our wedding. Looking back I have no idea what we would have done without her. We originally hired Julie for our 2020 wedding that due to the pandemic needed to be postponed to 2021. Once we made the decision to move our date Julie immediately contacted all our vendors and gave us new dates that worked for everyone. I head so many horror stories about couples trying to postpone but ours was so easy and that was all due to the hard work of Julie. You wouldn’t have even known it was her first pandemic!
Julie made every part of the process of planning our wedding easy. She has contacts with the best vendors, including her husband Mick who was our incredible DJ! Our wedding day was perfect and I didn’t need to think or stress about anything. Julie was incredibly organized and has her weddings down to a science. I can’t recommend her services enough!

Julie is an Angel
Julie might be the perfect wedding planner; experienced, patient, full of ideas when you need them and supportive of yours when you don't. She listens, responds to emails promptly and has some great, easy-to-use tools to keep you on track. She knows the most reliable vendors in the business and every one we worked with was exceptional. We made big changes to the plans just 3 days before the wedding, moving the reception indoors due to weather, and it didn't phase her. She re-arranged the plans, and made the day seamless. Having her expertise on the day to coordinate all the vendors and keep the logistics of the party coordinated were simply invaluable; she gave me a priceless gift of being able to focus on my new husband, family and friends. Julie was the most important vendor at our wedding and I can't have imagined pulling it all off without her. Thank you Julie.

The Best Wedding Planner
We noticed in our search for a wedding planner that some can be condescending or make you feel like your budget isn't enough. We'd about given up when a friend recommended Julie, and she was such a breath of fresh air! She was able to find incredible vendors who fit perfectly into our budget and was always so attentive and responsive. She always made us feel special and important. She was even able to help us find a date to reschedule when covid cancelled our first wedding and we were able to keep all our vendors! The day itself far exceeded my expectations and we had several guest tell us its the best wedding they've been to. I can't recommend her enough.

Could not have done it without her! (pandemic ceremony planning)
Where do I begin?! Julie is AMAZING! Prior to our wedding I had pretty much zero wedding experience so Julie had her work cut out for her with us! Haha She recommended a florist who we loved and helped set up everything like the photo booth and dessert! Julie is so organized and reliable. 2 things all brides can appreciate! She is also very kind and patient. Once the pandemic hit things were planned, replanned and replanned again but Julie was always there for us! She kept my sanity during a time of so much uncertainty with sticking to safe guidelines and keeping everyones health a top priority. In October 2020 we had a small, intimate ceremony which truly was the most beautiful, stress free, best day of our lives. We truly got to be in the moment. My husband and I could not have asked for a better wedding day. We highly recommend Julie! Thank you so much for everything!

Julie will help with planning the best wedding for you!
We went with Julie and Mick's combo package for Day-Of Coordinator and DJ and are so very happy that we had them to guide us with planning a wedding in the midst of a pandemic. Both Julie and Mick are pleasant to work with and had plenty of ideas and suggestions but never pushed us to make a decision.
Julie is organized and always quick to respond to emails. Her optimistic attitude was encouraging especially when we decided to change our 150+ wedding to a 35 person outdoor ceremony only. She took charge of coordinating with our vendors and making sure everyone was on the same page with our timeline.
We were nervous about how our actual wedding day would go since we had to pivot from our original plans, but our experience was still magical and we made such wonderful memories with our close family and friends. We have no idea what went on behind the scenes, but we know Julie was there to make sure things went on as planned!
We loved working with Julie and highly recommend her for any wedding coordinating needs!

Thank You Julie!!
Julie was so unbelievably helpful through our “COVID” wedding. She rolled with the punches and was there to help make the most out of our day (after our venue changed 3 times within 2 months). I was able to completely let go on our big day and just enjoy it because I knew I had Julie taking care of everything. It went perfectly. Thanks, Julie!

A must have
Julie was the wedding planner for my sister’s wedding back in 2015. She did such an amazing job I knew that I knew I had to hire her as mine when I got married. During these Covid times, having a wedding planner is an absolute must. Julie was such a huge asset to me during the stress of planning this wedding. I am an anxiety ridden person and she helped me to calm down many different times. Even from the start I had an emotional breakdown deciding between two different venues. I sent an email to her late that night in tears and she immediately got back to me and gave all this great advice to help me make that big decision. We had to postpone our wedding and Julie was so helpful in coordinating with vendors to find a new date. She has so much knowledge and experience in the wedding business that she has many great suggestions and vendor contacts that will ensure your day turns out amazing. She is exceptionally organized and the materials she provides you will help you stay organized as well. She was a joy to work with the entire two years up until my wedding. Julie really shines though on the actual day of the wedding. If it wasn’t for her, I would have been a stressed-out mess. Even the morning of the wedding we had a groomsman and guests drop out and Julie took care of all the changes that needed to happen. I knew I could put all of my trust in her. We had a couple situations come up at the wedding and she quickly and quietly took care of these. She even bustled my dress for me when my mom and sister were having issues with it. I can’t stress how much of a relief it is to have Julie around on your big day. She is just fantastic. Even more so, she is married to an amazing DJ and they are the dynamic duo. I would definitely recommend Julie as your wedding planner and her husband Mick as the DJ for your wedding!

A true professional as a wedding coordinator!
We chose a combination package with Wedding Coordinator and DJ team. It was the best decision for us because they worked very well together and gave us great advice on how to carry out our wedding plans. As you can imagine, there were plenty of snags to deal with as we closed in on our special day. But, Julie was very helpful with rehearsal in putting our minds at ease and to carry out final details. We asked quite a lot for Julie to do in a short period of time based on what the wedding venue allowed. Julie and her assistant were able to fulfill our vision of how we wanted our plans for wedding decorations carried out. Cannot say enough positive things about her professionalism and the extra care that Julie put into making ours a very special wedding from the beginning to the very end. Thank you, Julie, for making ours a very special day!

Julie the efficient and seamless guardian!!
Julie exceeded all of my expectations. I used her month of plus package (her packages are specific and apply to whatever you may need from a wedding coordinator). Leading up to my wedding she helped me put all my puzzle pieces together while giving me extraordinary and honest advice. She is kind, very organized, and gets it done. My wedding day was perfect beyond words and I owe that to Julie. She remembered all of my little requests from our many conversations and put me as her number one focus. I did not have to lift a finger on my wedding day. Anyone would be lucky to have Julie coordinate their wedding day. She just knows what she is doing.

THANK YOU Julie at "The Best Wedding For You!"
OUR DREAM WEDDING CAME TRUE!
Here are just a few words to describe Julie: considerate, experienced, professional, friendly, detail-oriented, empathetic, efficient, communicative, punctual, responsive, helpful, and resourceful.
Julie's month-of-coordination services was the perfect fit for our needs. I am comfortable with contracts, vendors, budgeting, and basic scheduling... but once our wedding was just 30 days away, knowing that Julie was in ultimate coordinator-mode over the details truly helped me relax and enjoy our once-in-a-lifetime celebration.
Julie was on the preferred vendor list for our venue, and she has absolutely earned her great reputation. One thing I particularly admired about how she works, is that she is an EFFICIENT COMMUNICATOR who is clear, concise, and friendly all at once. She is a calm, natural leader who knows all the ins and outs, and works amazingly well with every vendor to bring it all together. It is my impression that she approaches every wedding with great care, love, and respect.
My sweetheart (and now-wife!) and I had the wedding of our dreams. And we want to say THANK YOU Julie for all your help and support.
