Anjali A. Sent on 12/27/2024Looking for expertise and kindness? Choose Julie!
TL;DR: Julie was an absolute lifesaver for our weddings!
We had two events: a secular ceremony and traditional Indian one and Julie provided her expertise for both. Without Julie handling our vendors, communication, and small details, our weddings would not have gone as smoothly as they did! Her communication was always prompt and she always kept our preferences in mind when making decisions on our behalf. Her expertise and professionalism went a long way when dealing with vendors and we still cherish her kindness and dedication to us (the bride and groom--now married)!
Thank you so much Julie for making our weddings so memorable and perfect!!
Detailed review:
Prior to the events, we had detailed calls with Julie and told her about vendors we already decided on as well as vendors we still needed. For those we still needed, Julie was able to provide some recommendations. Given her years of expertise in this field, she was really helpful with suggestions and recommendations. Julie handled most (if not all!) communications with the vendors and other email communications, but always kept us in the loop which was really helpful. She expertly dealt with problem vendors, folks who took too long to respond to us, and emergencies with vendors. She also would be in constant communication with our venues to ensure our vendors could arrive at the right time, provide us with a proper timeline, and take care of insurance/health and safety/etc. paperwork as needed. Again, because she has worked in this field for such a long time, she really knew what questions to ask and what details needed to be considered while we could not have even thought of this stuff!
On the day of our events, Julie and her team were at our venue and double-checking that our vendors were there and that things were going according to schedule and plan. Julie had put together timelines for both us (the wedding party) and our vendors which was incredibly helpful to ensure we stayed on track. Julie was there holding open doors, fixing the train on the bride's dress, and directing guests. She did all the work in the background so that the wedding party and the guests could really enjoy themselves. We also found ourselves with guests who had not RSVP'd and Julie was so quick in finding them seats and figuring out their situation. In addition, she accommodated all last-minute requests when possible and was always by our (the bride and groom's!) side when it came to minor issues on the wedding days--which was really appreciated! Julie also made sure we were fed and kept aside food and drinks for us while we were busy with pictures, greetings, and reception events. We were so thankful for that!
Overall, we would recommend Julie a thousand times over! We really felt she went above and beyond during the whole wedding process!! She was really the rock that grounded us during our weddings and we really needed her expertise during our planning phase. If you are looking for someone who has incredible wedding planning expertise in San Diego and who is an organized, prompt, professional, and kind wedding planner, then Julie really is the right pick. Thank you again Julie! -

Julie was a huge help with our wedding at Scripps Seaside forum. She was very knowledgable about the vendor options and planning/coordinating our wedding. The day went off without a hitch! -

Silvana D. Sent on 12/27/2024So grateful for Julie!
We feel so lucky to have had Julie as our day-of planner. From the moment we started working with her, Julie went above and beyond what we expected. She wasn’t just there for the day-of—she helped us so much in advance, asking all the right questions and catching things we didn’t even realize we missed. Her level of organization and attention to detail was incredible, but what truly stood out was how she made us feel completely attended to and cared for.
On our wedding day, Julie was a calming presence, handling every detail with such grace that we were able to relax and truly enjoy every moment. Knowing she was in charge gave us so much peace of mind, and everything ran smoothly thanks to her expertise. We can’t thank Julie enough for being such a huge part of our special day, and we’d recommend her to anyone looking for a planner who is not only professional but genuinely cares about making your wedding perfect. -

Planning a wedding can be extremely overwhelming, so having an expert to rely on was worth every penny. Julie has years of experience in wedding planning which is shown through her knowledge of our venue, vendor recommendations, timelines and everything in between.
Weddings are quite the investment and having Julie help us along the way, made our wedding extremely special and better than we could have ever done ourselves. -

Julie was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was very communicative, professional, and helpful in the time leading up to our wedding. Day of the wedding she was truly indispensible. She handled our timeline and vendors with ease; taking care of the small hiccups without issue. She helped reduce our stress heading up to the wedding and eliminated it day of. So incredibly grateful we found her! -

Highly recommend Julie Scrivener as your wedding planner!!
My husband and I had Julie Scrivener as our wedding planner for our wedding in August 2022. She was so fun to work with and really helpful with all the planning. My husband and I are so happy our wedding went off without a hitch. We weren’t stressed at all thanks to all her help! We highly recommend hiring Julie Scrivener (and Mick Scrivener) for your wedding! 😊 -

We are so happy that we went with Julie for our wedding planner. She helped so much with every big and small detail and resolved any problem that came up. She responded quickly any time we reached out. Julie is professional but so down to earth and kind. She’s been doing weddings for a long time and it shows, she knows what she’s doing! She truly helped make our day perfect we felt very confident and comfortable that she was handling everything. We have only good things to say about our experience and couldn’t recommend her enough. We are so grateful she was there and helped make our day perfect. We also went with her husband Mick as our DJ and we are so glad that we did that too. -

Judith N. Sent on 04/24/2023The 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! -

Erica B. Sent on 12/17/2022Thank 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! -

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! -

Brandi W. Sent on 04/27/2022Julie 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! -

Merissa Sent on 04/04/2022Julie 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.
