    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! 😊

    Julie really does make The Best Wedding for You

    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.

    Julie is incredible!

    We hired Julie as our month-of coordinator for our wedding at the Darlington House on 9/29/23 and she was wonderful to work with! We loved that Julie had worked at the venue a ton before so she really knew it inside & out. You can tell that Julie has been in the business a long time which was super helpful. She was available to help answer all of our questions until she took over the coordination with all vendors the month prior and that took a lot off our plates. What I really appreciated about Julie was that she doesn't mess around. She knows her stuff, is quick to make decisions, she'll rally everyone together, she gets things done. Our day went off without a hitch, literally no issues and I think a huge part of that was because of Julie. She even kept her composure when some groomsmen ran off right before the ceremony to get pizza!! It was the best day of our lives, thank you Julie for everything!!!

    Julie is a lifesaver!

    Julie was professional, friendly, and easy to work with! She made planning smooth and we had a stress-free wedding day thanks to her. She has very reasonable prices, and also worth every penny!

    Julie is Incredible!!

    This review is long overdue. Julie was our coordinator for my & my husband's 50th wedding anniversary on 11/05/2022. She was incredible throughout the entire process. I never got to have a big wedding or a reception with dancing for that matter, so really this was my chance at a big, beautiful wedding 50 years later! And Julie made it magical. She was there for every meeting, she worked with our vendors to make sure everything was taken care of, she had countless phone calls with us during the planning phase of the event, and she made our night so special. She helped out with every detail, and didn't leave anything to chance. She wanted to make sure everything was perfect for me and my husband. She guided us through every step and was there for every question and every concern. She is so professional and has so many years of experience and it definitely shows. I remember there was a time during the reception when my dress got a bit messed up and my makeup was smearing because I was so sweaty from dancing and having a great time, that she took me to the bathroom and helped fix me back up! I don't know of any other wedding coordinator that would take the time to help the bride one-on-one to fix them back up...but Julie will! She strives to make everyone feel comfortable and to make sure everything goes off without the slightest hitch. She even helped me and my daughter out when we were taking care of payments to the catering vendors, when they were giving us a bit of a hard time. Julie has no problem stepping in and taking charge--exactly what you want ina wedding coordinator. She is amazing and I plan on using her for any parties we have in the future. Pick Julie...you will never regret it! She is incredible!

    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.

    My Wedding Day Fairy God Mother!

    Julie made our wedding day so much fun and stress free! She took care of every detail so that I could truly relax and enjoy the day, which is rare for most brides! She was so personable and sweet from the start. She is honest and dependable, and you won’t be disappointed if you hire her for your big day! She was easily the best decision I made for my wedding.

    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!

    The Best Wedding Coordinator

    Julie is the absolute best there is!! We hired her as a month-of wedding coordinator, but she did so much more than that! She accompanied us to vendor appointments and gave great advice all throughout the process. She helped manage our crazy families on our big day and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. We could not have planned our wedding nor would it have gone as smoothly without her! Thank 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!

    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!
