Joanie Sent on 10/22/2023Wonderful!
Sometimes it takes a miracle worker to pull together all of the many elements of a wedding together to please the bride and groom and their families. Tosca was there from beginning to end, coordinating the music with other professionals in the community, the flowers, the signing of the wedding certificate, the wedding party, and the unexpected. One of the participants had his formal dress shows fall apart, and she was there with her tool kit and duct tape to save the day.
Tosca has earned her reputation as a professional wedding planner extraordinaire.Tosca Productions's reply:
Dearest Joanie,
Thank you for your kind words and instant connection. We did pull off a beautiful ceremony filled with beautiful, heartfelt traditions and magically pulled off the wedding just within weeks. In a short amount of time, we were connected.
I look forward to the opportunity to reconnect. You make a fantastic partner! My love to you and your beautiful family. -

The best wedding planner we could have asked for
Tosca was the best wedding planner we could have ever imagined. She was our partner and guide through the whole process, from picking vendors to figuring out what color/font our allergy cards looked like. Her 30+ years in the industry shined through all aspects of her work. She was wonderful at taking us along the wedding planning journey which helped to minimize any stress we faced as the wedding couple. She made us feel part of our family and hope to work with her in another capacity some time in the future.Tosca Productions's reply:
Thank you! You and Jake made planning incredibly easy, and staying on top of your Trello boards made your celebration seamless. What a super fun Sonoma Wine Country wedding! I especially loved grabbing drinks in West Portal and reminiscing about the entire day as it unfolded.
I look forward to planning another special celebration in the near future. -

Joey L. Sent on 05/01/2023Incredible wedding planner with fantastic connections and top-tier professionalism
Tosca was AMAZING!! She was simultaneously immaculately organized (via a many-channeled slack) and highly flexible. She was extremely experienced and able to guide us through every step of the process, always providing helpful suggestions and helping us to realize our vision for the wedding. From day one she was a clear and consistent communicator and was entirely transparent about her services and process. Most importantly, on the day, both she and her assistant Melissa were fantastic—the wedding was perfect largely due to their silent hustling. When I left my bouquet in another room right before I was to head down the aisle? No problem – Melissa sprinted to get it and had it right on time. Guests were late? No problem—Tosca redirected with them quietly and with ease. Her pre-existing connections are responsible for our incredible caterer, florist, hair-dresser, and yet more – she knows this business, knows the bay area, and provides absolutely top-tier service. I can’t recommend her and her team highly enough! -

Tosca was there from the beginning of the planning stages to the very drop of our reception! She made everything easier to work with including floor plans tables to layout. She's very detailed!Tosca Productions's reply:
Thank you, Moanalee!
You, Michael, family, and friends had such a fantastic time. The dancefloor was packed, and the cultural dances surprised and entertained everyone. They were executed to perfection.
I'm so happy our attention to detail made everything manageable for you. I particularly enjoyed designing your custom seating Welcome Sign, Seating Chart, and coordinated Table Names.
Thank you for your trust in us! -

Jay S. Sent on 06/18/2023Tosca Crushed it!!!!!
We hired Tosca at the recommendation of a family member, who planned a large wedding in San Francisco years ago. We were told said they couldn't have done it without Tosca and they were right! We live in Southern CA, and were getting married in San Francisco, so everything was remotely planned, or while we were visiting for 24-48 hours. She introduced us to photographers, videographers, caterers, helped plan hotels for out of town guests, helped pick out transportation based on the guest list. She helped out in so many ways behind the scenes, I feel guilty not listing all of them!
We had our wedding at St. Peter & Paul's Cathedral, and our reception at the City Hall Rotunda, meaning everything needed to be perfect to get all 200+ people there, in time, comfortably. It went off without a hitch! The food was delicious, our guests were comfortable, everyone had a great time, and I married the love of my life.
We highly recommend Tosca if you are planning your wedding anywhere near San Francisco.Tosca Productions's reply:
Thank you for posting all the beautiful photos, @zhazha.
What a GORGEOUS and SUPER FUN celebration. I couldn't help but relive all those incredible moments when going through the pictures captured. Every detail, every smile, your choreographed dance....it all brought a big smile to my face.
There were many behind-the-scene moments, but the one that stands out is the bustling of Alexandria’s epic gown. Her true fashionista style shone through with her prepared video of each layer, and the coordinated steps were such a team effort.
It was almost comical in the best way possible, but you two were absolutely picture-perfect! I'm genuinely touched by your kindness and am grateful to have been part of your special day.

A day beyond our wildest dreams!!
I cannot say enough about Tosco Productions! Every detail was perfect! From the engraved invitations to the flowers in the fountain at our reception in the Fairmont Penthouse. It was quite a task to put together a destination weekend wedding for us and all of our guests! Tosca took care of everything! I heard later there were a few minor issues during the wedding and reception. I had no idea. The entire weekend was flawless. The pride up lights at Grace Cathedral were beautiful, the trumpeter escort through Huntington Park was very regal and a lot of fun!
Any couple preparing for a wedding…do yourselves a favor! Hire Tosca Productions immediately! You will be taken care of from start to finish!Tosca Productions's reply:
I was absolutely thrilled to read your review! I am honored you entrusted us with creating and producing an entire weekend celebrating your relationship, interests, struggles, and adventure. It truly left an indelible mark. Every moment was infused with the magic of your unique love story.
From the outset, as we gathered for Santos's celebration honoring his Mexican heritage at the roof-top suite at the Inter-Continental Mark Hopkins, it was clear that your love fest would be an extraordinary journey. The love and passion you both share shone brightly during the entire weekend.
To add to the magic, I can't help but share this serendipitous star-struck moment when we uncovered that Lady Gaga spent the night in the same Fairmont Presidential Penthouse the night after the concert you attended. Just another incredible event to add to the story of your unforgettable weekend.
Your wedding was a masterpiece, and I feel privileged to have been part of it. Thank you for entrusting me with such a vital celebration. I'm genuinely thrilled for your future filled with love, adventure, and the promise of more remarkable coincidences!

Matt W. Sent on 10/12/2022Tosca is the best!!!
We chose Tosca as the coordinator for our destination wedding in San Francisco. There were so many details that Tosca suggested that made the entire experience "once in a lifetime." Starting with the beautiful high end acrylic engraved invitations to the beautiful flowers in the Penthouse of the Fairmont Hotel. The ceremony at Grace Cathedral was perfect with the Pride uplighting and the trumpeter escort from the cathedral to the reception. Tosca spent so much time getting to know us and customizing every experience to perfectly reflect us and the occasion. Even the small problems that arose were handled flawlessly without a disturbance of any kind.
Tosca is the first and best decision we made for our celebration. We cannot thank her enough for all that she orchestrated for us!Tosca Productions's reply:
Your complete trust in me and my team to plan and carry out your vision made this an epic celebration. The best compliment of the evening was, "How can I ever go to another wedding after this!" PRICELESS. It was certainly a team effort, and we couldn't have done it without your help, the help from our service providers, and the amazing people closest to you (aka Mary). What a gorgeous and FUN filled weekend celebration! THANK YOU for your kindness and generosity. -

Tosca is the absolute best at what she does! She served as the month-of coordinator for our wedding at The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay in July 2022. We were engaged just four months before our wedding, so Tosca had to coordinate details with our high-profile vendors under especially tight time constraints and did so flawlessly. Our wedding day felt like a fairytale from the moment bridesmaids began getting ready in the bridal suite at 10:00 am until dancing stopped at 10:00 pm. We felt blissfully relaxed thanks to Tosca's stellar efforts behind the scenes to ensure our ceremony and reception flowed perfectly. Her warm, cheerful personality made us feel at ease in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and her lovely presence at our event was cherished by our wedding party and guests. We will always be grateful to Tosca for ensuring our wedding day was more beautiful than we dreamed it would be.Tosca Productions's reply:
Thank you, Jessica. You and Jameson are amazing. What a heartfelt celebration. I am happy we were able to secure the rentals at a fraction of the original quote and negotiate the cake fee so you could have the cake of your dreams and stay on budget. It's all a part of the magic! I can't wait to see the photos taken on the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Looking forward to having dessert with you guys! -

Tosca was a joy to work with, and we truly couldn't have done it without her. In the months leading up to our event, she kept everything on track and was always incredibly responsive and helpful with any questions or concerns we had. She provided excellent advice and was always on top of every little detail. She was so kind and patient throughout the whole process and made our wedding a truly unforgettable experience. We loved working with her!Tosca Productions's reply:
Thank you, Charlie! What a fun reception! I love pouring my heart into each event. The best compliment you and Erin shared with me was when you said during our recap meeting, "You should be charging double," All the special touches were amazing. Thank you for letting me be part of your celebration and your lives.
I look forward to reconnecting again soon. -

Lara Sent on 06/24/2022Tosca works magic!
When we first started working with Tosca, she had us fill out a questionnaire detailing our dream wedding. Boy, did Tosca deliver! Our wedding was magical. She helped us transform an empty space (our family's front yard) into a stunningly elegant, intimate wedding venue for ~100 guests. All the vendors she recommended were world-class, and she managed and negotiated every single minute detail to deliver an exceptional experience for us and our guests. We would never have thought of the beautiful touches Tosca recommended. Everything from parasols and fans to keep everyone cool, to which signage to include, to the most beautiful VIP restrooms we'd ever seen. Our guests are still raving about the event, saying it's the best wedding they've ever been to. Did I mention she did this all in under 4 months? Tosca puts fairy godmothers to shame. She invest so much of her time, and heart and soul into each client. She's basically a member of our family at this point, and we look forward to sharing many more happy occasions with her in the coming years. Thank you, Tosca! We love you!Tosca Productions's reply:
I LOVE you too! Thank you for your kind words. What a beautiful celebration! Magic was possible in under 4 months because of our team and vendor partner relationships and because you and your families were amazing, devoted, and patient through all the obstacles and challenges. Like the proverb...It takes a village...couldn't be more true. We are forever bonded. Congratulations to you and Dmitriy! -

Cristina M. Sent on 10/20/2020Tosca is the best!
We got engaged in July 2020, during Covid. We didn't know where to begin. We weren't sure that venues, vendors, etc... would allow us to book for November next year. We couldn't get ahold of any venues or vendors to even check availability. We started working with Tosca & we couldn't have been more thrilled! She has so many relationships throughout San Francisco that we were able to get in contact with people faster than we would have been able to on our own. We are fully into the wedding planning process for next year with the venue & several vendors already booked!
Regardless of Covid becoming part of our lives, we definitely would have worked with Tosca. She's been able to negotiate deal points, in every aspect, that we never would have been able to ourselves; nor even knew that we could have negotiated for.
What started out being extremely scary, has now become one of the easiest processes. She makes making decisions simple & flawless. Just the other night, my fiancé & I said "We always thought this would be harder!"
Thank you Tosca & we can't wait to continue planning our very fantastic wedding day!Tosca Productions's reply:
Dearest Cristina, Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are a terrific bride! Your feedback and responsiveness have made planning a breeze. I appreciate your trust as we navigate uncharted territory during these difficult times. I will continue to work my magic, so you, Frank, and your families have a fantastic wedding. I can't wait to celebrate with you!

Best wedding planner ever
We love Tosca like family!!! We didn’t worry about a single detail and day of issues were handled seamlessly! We Adore Tosca!Tosca Productions's reply:
Whenever I look at these pictures of your beautiful Carmel Valley celebration, it warms my heart and brings back many fond memories of our incredible journey. It was quite challenging to envision a venue and garden under renovation, but together, we transformed it into a surreal, magical place to host your once-in-a-lifetime celebration.
Your dancing feet didn't stop the whole night, and that energy was absolutely infectious. The ambiance, food, decor, and music all seamlessly came together to bring to life what was once just a dream. Thank you for believing in our imagination and talents. We truly made a fantastic team.
Each time I revisit these moments, it fills my soul with happiness. I'm eager to cross paths with you both again in the near future. May the honeymoon never end, and may your love story continue to be as magical as that unforgettable day!

Above and Beyond Service
We interviewed with several wedding planners and we felt Tosca was the most genuine and sincere. It didn't take us long to realize that she was the one for us after our initial meeting. As we began meeting with other reputable vendors, we realized that Tosca was highly respected and adored by all. Tosca is not just a seasoned wedding planner with over 20 years of experience under her belt. She is a fairy godmother that sweeps you off your feet and brings your magical wedding to life.
We always planned to have our ceremony and reception at City Hall but due to the uncertainties of reopening without COVID restrictions, we opted to scramble for a new venue with less than 8 months from our wedding date. Tosca found us a beautiful outdoor venue in Woodside, CA which exceeded our expectations. She thoroughly reviewed our contracts and made us aware of certain caveats and the associated risks giving us the ability to make informed decisions.
We are big foodies and enjoy hosting parties of our own and emphasized to Tosca that we wanted our guests to be stunned with hors d'oeuvres, entrees, dessert, wine/cocktail pairings, and presentation. Tosca understood our vision and we were thoroughly impressed with all of Tosca's vendor recommendations for catering, florists, bakers, entertainment, audio/visual, etc. Tosca was always available to every meeting and had a prepared list of questions for the vendors. She constantly provided feedback and recommendations to remain within our budget. On our wedding day, we had some unforeseen circumstances which would have delayed our wedding by 1 hour. However, Tosca was able to save the day by re-sequencing the schedule and we can't thank her enough for making our wedding day come true.
We love you Tosca and look forward to working with you for future events!Tosca Productions's reply:
Thank you for your kind words. I LOVE how you and Eva have been so responsive and easy to work with. I'm excited about your celebration and will continue working my magic. -

When my daughter got engaged I thought, “I can handle all the planning, I’m from San Francisco after all and this will be a breeze organizing a City wedding”. Oh boy was I wrong. I am so thankful that my daughter and I are working with Tosca. She is an absolute professional with loads of experience and she has a great personality. As we began our wedding planning, Covid-19 came crashing down, but it did not stop Tosca. Tosca knows everyone in the business and the planning continues. The SF Fairmont was closed to the public but Tosca performed her magic and we were able to tour the facility, she negotiated a wonderful deal, and we signed a contract! Tosca has made sure to incorporate the “Covid-19 clause “ in all of our contracts. Tosca has recommended top quality vendors from DJ, Lighting, & Hair & Makeup….. The vendors all speak very highly of Tosca and are happy to be working with her again. We are in the middle of our planning and working with Tosca I feel completely relaxed and confident that my daughter’s wedding will be beautiful and that everything will go smoothly. Tosca is the best!!Tosca Productions's reply:
Thank you, Linda, for your kind words and acknowledgment. I absolutely love working with you guys. Although this is not a normal time for celebrating, I will continue to work diligently and make the planning a smooth process. I am honored to be a part of your celebration and your lives. Let the fun continue!

Angelo P. Sent on 10/29/2019Could not have done it without Tosca
Long story short, we had that nightmare happen to us that you only hear on radio pranks. The one where the venue calls you 8 days before your wedding and notifies you that they will not be able to host your wedding and reception do to one reason or another. We had 8 days to replan the wedding. After the initial shock and stress, we ended up with a better venue and a perfect day.
We had used Tosca previously and would not think of planning a wedding without her. As expected everything was completed and on schedule including every little detail until we received that dreaded call. I think this was a first for Tosca as well and a definite test of her abilities. We could NEVER have pulled this off without her.Tosca Productions's reply:
It was a wild ride, but oh, so worth it. The new venue was amazing, and I am beyond thrilled that everything worked out. I am honored to have been a part of both your daughters' weddings. Thank you! -

We are so lucky to have had Tosca at the helm of our dream wedding! She was wonderful in so many ways, and we are so grateful! When we had to pivot from a 150 person wedding at the Brazilian Room to an intimate 16 person wedding with a Zoom component, she pivoted gracefully and confidently, leading the way for us to feel that it would all come together beautifully. She worked wonderfully with my Zoom wedding coordinator, Lindsey Sachs from Collective/bySachs. Tosca provided me above and beyond service, responding to countless emails, texts, and phone calls--keeping me sane and still excited about the prospect of getting married in Covid times! She came to tastings with us, helped me recover a deposit from a vendor who refused to refund us when we had to pivot, and really leaned in to our Zoom wedding. Tosca and Melissa worked so diligently, coming to our new wedding venue multiple times to help with the tech rehearsal to make sure the mics and cameras were placed in a way that the Zoom audience could see and hear us! We had over 130 Zoom attendees from all over the US and 4 other countries! Tosca's attention to detail and level of thoughtfulness are incredible! Her placement of photos and signs on our gift table, ironing our linens, putting sweet succulents in our terrariums that I wasn't sure we would be able to use were just a few of the delightful details I saw at the wedding! Tosca's ideas of a personalized parasol for us and white parasols for all our guests as shade cover was just delightful! I had to convince my dad the cost would be worth it, and at the end, his highest compliment was that he apologized for ever doubting why we needed Tosca!! -

Angela P. Sent on 10/21/2019An absolute magic maker
Where do I even begin!
Tosca is on it (to say the least) and thought of every last detail to make our wedding absolutely perfect. We planned for a year and she got everything taken care of from napkins and decorations to vendors and timelines.
One week before our wedding my venue got shut down, which meant we were out a ceremony space, reception space, and caterer. This final week confirmed it for me that Tosca had some sort of magical powers. She was able to find another venue, set up the menu, re-design the seating chart and figure out what other decorations we would need since this space was completely different from the first. These are only a few things she managed to get done in ONE week, and this was no small feat considering this was a wedding with over 200 guests.
It's an understatement to say that Tosca is great at what she does. She's a magnificent planner and an even more magnificent person!Tosca Productions's reply:
What a wild ride! Thank you and your family for having complete faith in me and my squad. Under such unforeseen circumstances, industry experience and our connections have saved us time and time again. I wish you and Nicky all the best in life. CONGRATULATIONS! We made it! -

a special, educational and fun experience
Prior to hiring a wedding planner, i though I could try handle the planning with the help of online blog/advices etc. I did lot of researches and venue exploring on my own, and soon enough, realized that I spent most of my walking hrs on the phone and the grid trying to keep track of all the info instead of enjoying our engagement. We decided to look into hiring a wedding planner for guidance at the early stage, and Tosca Productions stood out the most for her experiences, enthusiasm and positive vibes. It was really awesome to have Tosca helped us at the early stage so we can stay within our budget as much as we could. She helped narrow down our choices, visit the venue sites, asks the right questions, and ultimately helped us pick the venue of our vision that we prolly would have not thought of otherwise. She even negotiated with the venue for many good perks/deals for us! Besides the venue, she helped us find other wonderful talented important vendors (photographer/ florist) that also matched my vision/ budget. We ended up hiring her for full service since we found her so helpful in many aspects. Throughout the planning, she can be easily reached through all kinda of communication platform, even late at night! Tosca helped organized meetings with the venue and us, and helped facilitate our thinking for wedding colors/ decorations/ theme/ what works and what not in reality {so we can plan accordingly and not waste our times on things that wouldnt work). When things got tough, and I started to feel stressed out she was like my friend that i could vent/ express my concerns/ worries/ shared ideas to. It helped a lot to ease the stress knowing that I have her and that we got this! I also realized I became more picky as the process went on but Tosca did her best to make most of my weird demands/ last minute changes possible! Thank you Tosca!
The day of the wedding went exceptionally smooth, stress-free, organized and well executed by Tosca Productions and the crew! We cant be any happier with our wedding decorations/ themes/ flowers/ , all the visions we talked and discussed. Tosca made sure the day flowed well, saved us food to eat, reminded us of the time discreetly and gently, all while blending in background with the guests and respected our times/ space. Us and The guests had lots of fun and in awe of all the details! The most important thing besides having fun was that Us and our families were able to sit back and enjoy the whole day, instead stressing out and all over the place to set up/clean up etc. Tosca even helped us took care of our wedding certificate, have it signed and gave it to us in once piece ( we were in the middle of the actions and forgot all about it after church lol)
Unless you have a small simple wedding, we would totally recommend having a wedding planner, someone experienced and passionate like Tosca Productions, so you enjoy the whole engagement/ wedding planning / wedding day better and probably save some $$ in a long run -
