Tara N. Sent on 11/30/2022The best decision I ever made
Where to begin!! From my first call with Rachel I knew Tres Chic Affairs was the perfect team to entrust with my big day. Rachel and I clicked instantly on our initial call; she was so warm and welcoming and made me feel at ease about the whole wedding process.
I genuinely thought I had a good idea of what I wanted for my wedding because I'd planned events before and I like hosting events. I had also already picked out my venue which came with wedding coordinator, but I figured if I was going to plan a wedding from across the country, it was a good idea to have some extra help. I opted for the full planning and design package and let me tell you. BEST. DECISION. EVER. Molly and Rachel are the best of the best. They do it ALL!! They took my vision and turned it into a fairytale I didn’t even know existed. I got so many compliments on how beautiful and well organized my wedding was and it was all thanks to Molly and Rachel.
Rachel was the absolute best at helping me secure vendors, managing all communications with vendors, keeping me on track with my checklist and answering all my questions and any random worries that would come to mind. She also kept me grounded on my budget and helped me focus on items that would really have an impact on the big day. She handled EVERYTHING. It made wedding planning a breeze!! On the weekend of (she was there for my welcome party as well) she was my absolute hero. She took care of all the behind the scenes issues (I didn't even know about them) and kept everyone on track and made sure everyone knew what they were doing, from my family and friends to my vendors, I didn't have to lift a finger. It was the absolute best and her personality absolutely shines and makes the whole process so fun. She's THE BOMB.
Molly really made my wedding come to life. She had the most beautiful designs and I loved that she created a unique wedding design just for me (& my husband). With Molly, my biggest advice is…listen to Molly!!! She knows all!! Let go and let her work her magic. She was so sweet and patient with me throughout the process. When we had to make choices, she'd let me wander down the route I thought I wanted and without fail, every single time, I'd circle back to her original idea which would make me laugh because I should have just listened to her in the first place.
Shockingly my husband was pretty opinionated about his must haves including a white dance floor with our initials which I was a little hesitant about. She created the most beautiful dancefloor design which included a vine crest with our initials and it turned out absolutely stunning. We also had the crest on our menus and ended up using it for our thank you cards as well!! Everything from the flatware, glassware, floral choices, linens, chairs, signage, you name it, just had so much thought put into it and it was DROP. DEAD. GORGEOUS. Based on all the photos and designs I'd seen posted on Molly's Instagram, I knew it would be beautiful but it was beyond what I had hoped for. The attention to detail was tres magnifique and the whole day took my breath away and I owe it all to Molly.
Most importantly throughout the process Molly and Rachel made me feel like I was their only bride (& trust me based on what I see them cranking out on Instagram they must have like 100+ brides a year). To be that busy and still make the time and effort to make each and every bride feel special and taken care of is priceless. I had so much fun throughout the process and will never be able to thank Molly & Rachel enough for everything they did to create the most perfect weekend for me and my husband. I can't wait for all the life events to come where I know I can turn to Tres Chic Affairs to make all my dreams come to life. -

It's hard to put into words just how much I love Molly and Rachel from Très Chic Affairs.
I had the incredible luck to be working with them both on a corporate holiday party (yes, they also crush corporate events!) in 2021 when I got engaged. There was absolutely no doubt in my mind that my husband and I had to hire them for our wedding, and I can't express enough what a blessing it was.
If you follow Molly or Rachel on Instagram, you know how busy they are (with good reason) and most weekends you'll find them at a wedding or two. We decided to go with their full-service planning package 11 months out from our Oct '22 wedding and I can honestly say that for nearly a year, they made us feel like we were their only clients. We always felt like we were a priority even though they clearly had a full calendar of events, they were incredibly responsive, kept us on track, and made sure we were having fun with the process along the way. On top of having impeccable taste and being highly experienced planners, Molly and Rachel are both the sweetest humans and the type of people you want on your team for your wedding day.
From helping us find the perfect venue and sharing insightful vendor recommendations from their years in the industry to guiding us through the process of signing contracts and nailing down final details, they were with us every step of the way and made us feel confident that our wedding weekend would come to life just how we envisioned it.
I'm very Type A and tend to easily stress out about things, however, Molly and Rachel's calming presence on the day of our wedding, combined with their years of experience and confidence made our wedding (and the days leading up to it) completely stress-free. Every. Single. Detail. of our weekend was absolutely perfect, and if there were any unexpected hiccups, we had no idea.
From wrangling our bridal party at the rehearsal and politely redirecting a rogue aunt who tried to walk down the aisle during our ceremony (LOL), to managing vendor setup and pulling together all the small day-of details, everything was handled professionally and with zero direction from us. Molly and Rachel had everything completely under control and it allowed my husband and I to relax and enjoy our day. Rachel even organized and brought all the decor items we provided for the wedding up to our suite during the reception... and left us with extra desserts!
When my husband and I reminisce about our wedding weekend, even 3+ months later, we still talk about how lucky we were to work with the Très Chic Affairs team. I can't say enough good things about Molly and Rachel and highly recommend working with them to any couples out there searching for the best planning team around. -

The Perfect Day with the Perfect Planner
Organization is my jam. Releasing control...not so much. Type A, Enneagram 3, ESTJ, Virgos, where you at? So, when it came to finding the right coordinator, I knew that it'd take a special trusting relationship for me to comfortably relinquish the details of our day to someone who would execute every single detail to perfection and boy, did she ever!!! I can honestly say that I felt so at ease and had so much fun throughout this entire wedding planning process because of Rachel!
We chatted with a hand full of coordinators and choosing Rachel and Tres Chic Affairs was a no-brainer. I fell in love with the attention to detail and design and style of the different weddings I had seen they'd done and just had a gut feeling when I talked to her that she was someone I could trust and that I'd get along with. Throughout the planning process, with each vendor we booked, they all knew of Rachel and reaffirmed what good hands we were in.
Although we chose the month of coordination package, we were immediately set up with Aisle Planner- a website used to track and organize all thing weddings. It was such a helpful tool and came with an extensive checklist and sections to upload vendor information and details about our big day. I also appreciated that it allowed Rachel the ability to keep tabs on how we were doing and ensure that we were on track.
While Rachel was so incredibly responsive throughout the entire process, answering questions we had along the way, she fully jumped in a few months before our wedding to lead us to the finish line! I am so grateful for Rachel because she really pulled everything together. She was so on top of communicating with vendors, fleshing out timeline details and ensuring that everyone knew where to be and what to do. There was so much behind the scenes work that she did and it was evident in conversations with our vendors who were so ready and prepared for our day.
The week leading up to our wedding, I was honestly feeling a little bored. I thought that our days would be filled with wrapping up final details, but everything was confirmed and so completely ready to go that we got time to just relax and enjoy extra time with out of town guests as they rolled into San Diego for our wedding.
Our wedding day was truly a dream come true. It was absolutely perfect (and if anything wasn't- I have no idea because Rachel handled it). She was everywhere all at once and made sure that each detail was in place and that we always had a drink in hand. And while I know there were a million things she was doing that day, she brought such a sense of calm to our day. She always had a smile on her face and helped make sure my husband and I had special and intentional moments to just take a breath and enjoy each other that we'll forever cherish.
And if all that wasn't enough, our wedding party and family could not stop raving about her. They loved her and appreciated how she perfectly kept us on track but in such a kind and positive way that things just felt so good!
Our wedding was perfect. Rachel is perfect. And we will forever have her to thank for the best perfect day of our lives. -

This review is way overdue. On April 8th, my husband and I got married. It was a dream. But a lot of work goes into planning a dream wedding and I am SOOOO glad I didn't have to do it alone. Molly and Rachel of Tres Chic were with me every step of the way--they crushed it for an entire year+ leading up to wedding day and the crushed it again on our wedding day. I have guests who still talk to be about how amazing they were--professional, organized, on top of it. They let nothing slip through the cracks.
When we first started venue hunting, I literally had nightmares because I was so overwhelmed. I interviewed a few planners over the phone and when I talked to Molly, I could tell she was sick over the phone and still working so hard. That's half the reason I picked her as my planner. The other half was because Tres Chic has planned some STUNNING weddings and at venues like Scripps (where nothing is included but the walls of the venue), you need someone like Molly and Rachel to put you at ease and take it a step at a time.
If you're looking for a planner, chances are you are also in the "budgeting phase" of wedding planning; arguably the most stressful. I found that Tres Chic's rates were very good compared to other planners. Do your research, but you'll likely find the same.
For me personally, I really appreciated how Molly was able to keep me focused. I tended to get bogged down by details or go rogue on styling and Molly always kept me sane and focused on the right thing at the right time. She also could be credited with saving my husbands sanity, as she was another sounding board for all things wedding and would talk me off the ledge when planning (or people) got stressful.
For a year I had access to Molly and Rachel via email, voxer (walkie talkie app), text, and the wonderful aisle planner tool in which they document every detail you should not overlook when planning a wedding (stuff I never would have even thought of on my own). No question was too small, they really made me feel like a special bride. It also helps they're funny and sweet :) Day of, everything went so smoothly and beautifully. Rachel powered through the family photos so efficiently and with such grace my relatives were in awe and at one point Molly even put a band-aid on my toe for me (they're literal angels!).
If you're a bride in the San Diego area, I highly recommend Tres Chic! Thank you Molly and Rachel, you're the best!!! -

Rachel killed it!! During covid, she was by my side throughout everything and the rescheduling process. She calmed my nerves so much! She was always available by phone or text if i had questions and or needed advice! Rachel was not only my wedding planner but has become a friend. I’m going to miss you!! The day of the wedding Rachel checked in on us throughout the day as well as the guys getting ready. Her and Nicole were on top of everything, the day ran so smooth! All of my bridesmaids complimented how nice everything went on the day of the wedding and it couldn’t have been done without these 2. I had no stress at all and I couldn’t imagine it without you both. So thank you so so much!! Definitely recommend !!! :) -

Kelly J. Sent on 11/20/2020The most amazing wedding planners
If you're looking for an amazing wedding planner/wedding planning team stop looking right now and hire Trés Chic! I promise hiring Molly & Rachel will be the best decision you will make in your planning process. I truly cannot say enough good things about them.
From the very start, they guide you through everything that goes into planning a wedding. They give you access to Aisle Planner, which has everything from a budget tool to their notes on preferred vendors.
Rachel & Molly helped us plan our dream wedding for two years. When Covid hit and there was no end in sight they helped us completely re-plan a new wedding. We went from 130 guests to 12 in a completely different venue. They helped us come up with plan a, b, and c, re-work contracts, hire new vendors, and figure out all the details. Throughout such a crazy time they put me at ease and made it a stress-free experience - seriously, they made me not stressed while planning several different versions of a wedding during a pandemic. Not only are they amazing planners, but they truly become your friends throughout the process.
They have such an eye for design and are very detail-oriented. They know exactly what will work together and at the venue. Trust them 100% and let them make the decisions - you will not be disappointed!
Everything on our wedding day turned out better than I ever could have imagined. We even ended up having a crazy thunderstorm come through on the day of our wedding and they perfectly transitioned the ceremony inside without any hiccups. I never had to think or worry about a thing the entire day. Before I could even stress about something or wonder how to handle it, it was already taken care of. Everything turned out beautifully! Everyone in person and on the zoom (hello 2020 weddings) complimented us on how amazing everything looked and how fun the wedding was.
We are so incredibly thankful for Molly & Rachel / Trés Chic! -

Molly and Rachel are so awesome to work with. Super responsive and always there when you need something and never make you feel like you’re a bother. The connection between my husband and Molly was so easy and she is always there if and when you need anything. So sad that our wedding planning is over, our big day turned out to be perfect even amidst COVID and the chaos. Thank you Tres Chic Affair, for helping execute our dream wedding, we want to relive all over again!! -

Ana Sent on 11/14/2019Rachel went above and beyond for us! So happy with her
We had Rachel as our wedding planner. We hired her for the month off and it was the best decision I made for the wedding. She was AMAZING! Very organized and very easy to work with. She was responsive since before the month of, answering any question I have and even providing advice. She also took care of us and went above and beyond the day of the wedding!
We first met her at the venue with the venue coordinator a little over a month before the wedding. I'm a very organized person and I was so impressed by how well she did her homework and research to prepare for that day. She answered every question the venue coordinator asked and already had everything down for our wedding. My mom is not impressed by many and she was so impressed with Rachel.
She put together the timeline for us which was perfect. She contacted all the vendors and provided the timeline as well as confirmed their arrival time.
The day of the wedding, she took care of EVERTHING! She even picked up my dress from our wedding house on that morning so I wouldn't have to worry about taking it myself as I wanted to get dressed in the venue. She helped with last minute changes to the schedule and ensured everything went smooth. Our wedding was perfect and I'm 100 percent certain it wouldn't have been the same without her. She's highly recommendable! -

Christi Sent on 10/30/2019Wonderful wedding coordinators!
I first found Très Chic Affairs while mindlessly scrolling through Instagram and instantly fell in love with several of the weddings this group of women helped plan. I loved that Molly and Rachel had tons of experience with our reception venue, Scripps Seaside Forum. After a phone conversation with owner Molly, we were totally sold on the Month-Of Package. I felt super lucky to book these ladies because of how busy weddings are in October. Their recommendations for vendors were spot-on and access to Aisle Planner was amazing throughout our rather long engagement. I loved knowing that Rachel had my back during the planning process. She surprised us at our catering tasting where we had the chance to get to know her almost a year out. Rachel is very friendly, easy to talk to, and just oozes excitement for weddings. Despite navigating several weddings a weekend, she is just such a positive, energetic person and made us feel like her top priority and special. She has come to feel like a long time friend. I would at times be self-conscious about wedding design choices, but she was always a perfect cheerleader, supporting my good decisions and adding her professional input when needed. Rachel was excellent at problem-solving when our transportation got briefly stuck in our hotel parking lot on the wedding day. Her expertise and responsiveness made my now-husband and me feel at ease. We had just the perfect day, and I am so grateful. Also, thank you to Nicole who was also a part of our big day's success. I would hands down hire this team over and over again. -

Kris Sent on 04/09/2019Amazing!!!
I hired Très Chic Affairs for "day of" coordination for our March 2019 wedding at the Martin Johnson House, and it was one of the best decisions ever! I did a ton of research (as I can be a super "type A" person - I had a looong spreadsheet of potential planners) and ending up interviewing 3 other planners prior to hiring Très Chic Affairs. Molly was always SUPER quick to respond (so you won't have to worry about not hearing back with her)! I first contacted her the Friday before Memorial Day Weekend, when wedding season is already in full swing, received a response right away, and we ended up chatting on the phone later that same day. She was quick to follow up after our phone call to ask if we had any questions.
As others have mentioned, you get access to Aisle Planner, which is AMAZING...and as someone who loves checklists, it had an extremely detailed checklist for wedding planning that blew my mind. It was also so easy to make table assignments, track your budget, enter vendors contact info, etc. Definite lifesaver!
Throughout the planning process, I was able to email Molly about questions or advice, (e.g. should I start my ceremony at 3:30pm vs 4pm, do I need 1 or 2 bartenders, etc) which was so helpful!!! She also has an extensive preferred vendors list, and we were even able to get a discount when booking one of the preferred rental companies.
We started working with our day of coordinator, Rachel, about 2 months before our wedding and she was just as amazing! We did a virtual walk through about 1 month out (since we weren't able to meet in person as we planned this wedding from out of state), and she had a timeline drafted after that meeting. She was very friendly and easy to talk to during this time and never made us feel stressed out, even when we told her we hadn't yet booked our caterer and it was 2 months out from the wedding.
The day of the wedding went smoothy with Rachel coordinating our 15 vendors! She kept the timeline on track and made sure we had a drink in hand right after the ceremony. She checked in on us frequently. At the end of the night, our belongings were packed up and transferred to our cars.
We had such an amazing wedding day and Très Chic Affairs played a huge role in making that happen. They were seriously one of my favorite vendors to work with! You will not go wrong with them!
Thank you again!! -

Bridgett Sent on 02/25/2019BEST Partial Design and Wedding Planning!
Where do I begin? First let me tell the next newly engaged bride - congratulations! And next let me tell you to take the biggest advice I can give you -- hire Tres Chic Affairs!!
Now explain why and it will not be short! ;) Molly, the owner, since the first time I spoke on the phone to her, has been the most helpful and amazing human being! She was sincere, sweet, honest and most importantly knowledgeable! We had our wedding on 2/16/19 and I have spent the last full year planning with Molly! The first thing any new bride looks for is pricing right? Well girl you get amazing pricing but so much more! I thought I wanted day-of only planner but after she walked me through her services -I immediately realized I needed partial design help. Best decision of my life was hiring Molly. She spent the first few months with both me and my fiancé Morgan learning our styles and vision for our big day. She uses this amazing software (yes project planning ladies, software!) called AislePlanner. It allowed my fiancé and me to both input images of our styles and allowed Molly to post ideas to combine those as well as upload her preferred vendors. It also has this amazing checklist - save yourself all the books and paper it's so awesome to have an app friendly - co-sharing software! We had over a dozen calls - mostly when I would freak over my next to do but Molly was always the most calm and friendliest woman in the world! I always felt like I had a best friend that just happened to be soooo in the know on vendors, next steps and what looks good and not. Another amazing attribute of Molly is she tells you what to spend money on and what really isn't important. I loved that as we were definitely on a budget! Another amazing perk of working with Molly is her collection of amazing preferred vendors. Seriously the most amazing people ever! I've never been more sure of my choices after choosing from her list! She has such great relationships & discounts with them- you most certainly will find one to make you smile ear to ear! Middle of the planning process Molly met me at Adore Folklore- she met in person and brought the florist I was looking at!!! Talk about amazing- they had a mock room set up with different selections for me and my future hubby to pick from. Over the top! That's when it got real and I was so happy to have met her in person that day - I knew again she was the best choice! After that we quickly picked Brogen Jessup as our photographer from her list, Modern Bouquet florist, and Coast Catering! I can't wait to write their reviews too!
Fast forward to a few months before the wedding - Molly and her colleague Rachael began the day of final details with me. What a whirlwind that could have been if not for them two! You hear about all the things to do but girlfriend- it's soooo much!
Day of planning you expect to have a few calls and maybe some help contacting all the vendors for insurance and timelines but seriously Molly and I talked almost every single day of the last month. I felt like I had a personal assistant almost! She probably sent over a million emails, made a ton of phone calls, yes did my timeline, yes coordinated all the vendors and yes was still the most calm and sweetest person in the world! The week before our wedding, which again was in February, Molly helped so much by telling me over and over it won't rain - don't worry about anything- she would pick up anything I needed and she did! Little things you will not get from anyone else include her handling all your hair/makeup and photo folks to ensure they know your hotel room number, she texted me the night before just to say sleep well and was one of the first to make me cry Saturday morning when she told me she was already at the venue and it would be dry enough to have our wedding outside! I cry happy tears thinking of everything Molly and Rachael did that day- I owe them so much! My wedding day was the best day of my life! I felt like a princess! She made sure all servers kept our glasses full, she ensured the timeline went off without a hitch, she coordinated all vendors extraordinarily, and every time I looked at her or Rachael they had a huge smile on their face. You won't see smiles like that that from a lot of people -let alone planners! Molly never cracked under the pressure nor showed her fatigue- and I know she worked over 13 hours that day onsite herself! Even after the wedding she still answered a few last minute wrap up questions.
In summary - hire Tre Chic Affairs. Do not think twice. My now husband and I owe her team the most amazing memories that will last our entire life! She's the most amazing, positive person, who brought sunshine all throughout our engagement and I could bet she even magically brought the sun on 2/16/19! Thank you with all our hearts Molly and Rach! You have talent that overflows and I can't imagine not having met you! Seriously I love yal - thank you so very much for the most amazing wedding ever! xoxo

Molly Stark with Tres Chic Affairs was the best decision I made for my wedding. She helped me plan my entire wedding from picking the venue, to the vendors, and all the little details in between. Her vendor recommendations were on point and carefully picked to fit what we were looking for. Her timeline was so detailed and thorough and the vendors loved it as well. She was able to get help us get coordinator discounts on the venue and vendors. She answered every single email I sent and accounted for all the little details leading up to the wedding. She was very organized and on top of it. I trusted her vision and she was able to tie in all the decorations, colors, and design so that it looked cohesive and beautiful. I was the most relaxed bride knowing that my wedding was in Molly’s hands and had nothing to worry about on the big day as everything was taken care of. She was very professional and was so helpful throughout our 1 year of wedding planning. Rachel Cohn was also very helpful throughout the process- anytime we worked with her she was very fast to respond and would always help in anyway she could. She helped us with the hotel room blocks and finding the perfect tiles for our escort cards. Also, the planning software they use called “Aisle Planner” was so helpful for me to organize my vendor contacts, contracts, checklist, design board, and the rest of my thoughts in one organized software. Our seating chart was so easy to make with the built in aisle planner module as well. Thanks to this team, our wedding was the best night of our lives. My husband and I loved working with Molly and Rachel and would love to have the privilege of working with them again in the future for another event! -
User1792937 Sent on 09/03/2014I hired Molly for my day of coordination services and it was a great decision! I knew early on that our venue required everything to be brought in, and I also knew I would have a lot of "personal items" to be set up because I planned lots of unique and special crafts, etc., so a day of coordinator was a must. I was extremely organized and did all of the planning myself, but if I ever needed a vendor recommendation or had a question, Molly was always around throughout the whole planning process and responded pretty quickly! She was always available for a few meetings and venue walkthroughs, accommodating my schedule when I was in town (I planned the entire wedding from the east coast). The week of the wedding was crazy and I had so many personal items to drop off with her, for the day of set up, so we delivered them to her home. The day of, she was amazing! I was getting ready at the hotel and at 11:30am like clockwork all of the vendors started showing up that I had hired for the big day -- sticking to Molly's timeline! She was at the church when I arrived, organizing people and asking how I was, and keeping the timeline she had created in check to make sure all of the vendors were where they needed to be. At the reception venue, she set up all of the items exactly to my specifications, and walking into the venue I was overcome with emotion of how it all turned out, exactly as I had dreamed of! She kept the tasks and vendors (cake cutting, entrances, dances, vendor arrivals, etc.) all on time and my husband and I even got to sneak out to take special photos twice, while still enjoying hours of dancing with friends, because she always kept everyone on point. Then she cleaned up everything at the end, putting all of the personal items in my moms car for easy transport - no heavy lifting required by my family! The best decision was hiring her because we were not worried the day of about anything and could enjoy our wedding! Hire her!
