Danny Sent on 12/29/2024Highly recommend White Lace Events!
We highly recommend using White Lace Events! We worked with Elena Simeone, who went above and beyond as our wedding planner – she was our trusted advisor, fearless leader, hype person and friend. Elena's dedication was evident in every detail, from meticulous research and creative presentations to countless vendor calls and in-person meetings. We loved her good vibes energy too! Elena truly brought our vision to life with elegance and sophistication, creating a celebration that was both stunning and so much fun! We had countless guests tell us how smooth, intentional, and beautiful our wedding was and so much credit goes to Elena for that. We also appreciated the support from the broader White Lace team. Krissie has built a top-notch organization that is well-regarded in the industry. Many vendors even gave us preferred pricing given their relationship with White Lace Events. We truly cannot thank Elena and White Lace Events enough. They exceeded our expectations in every way. Stop wasting your time researching other options – just book them now! -

As the mother of the bride, it was important to me that my daughter's vision of her wedding day was executed to perfection - White Lace Events did exactly that! Krissie, provided invaluable assistance with vendor recommendations, the numerous contracts, time lines, and day of execution.

Carly Sent on 10/04/2024The best wedding decision you'll make - white lace!
Using White Lace, Krissie specifically, was the best decision my husband and I made during our wedding planning process. Krissie was there for us 100% throughout the whole process. She is an amazing communicator, hype women, and organizer. Her eye for design is unmatched and she took the time to understand what we wanted out of our big deal and made it fit in our budget. Our wedding was absolutely amazing and planning was a fun - not stressful - experience. Could not recommend the ladies at White Lace enough! -

Natalie Sent on 09/13/2024Absolute best in the business!
Elena Simeone and the White Lace team are truly the BEST in the business. From start to finish, she went above and beyond to make our special day in La Jolla absolutely perfect. She curated the most amazing vendor list and brought our vision to life with ease, handling every detail with professionalism and grace. We were nervous to plan a destination wedding from across the country, but we never had to worry because she was always one step ahead, super accessible and responsive, and the most talented designer and coordinator who thinks of all the small details and puts so much care and passion into her work. On the actual wedding day, she went above and beyond to make sure all was running smoothly and made my family and me so happy and comfortable. We couldn't have asked for a more organized, responsible, and caring collaborator. Thank you for everything -- we are so glad we trusted Elena and the team, and could not recommend them more highly. -

Elena and the White Lace Events team made our special day truly magical. From day one in providing stellar vendors to every little detail on the wedding day, Elena executed flawlessly. She is a good communicator, always accessible, and guided us through the planning process prioritizing our guest experience and our ability to simply enjoy the wedding day with our loved ones. Our guests had the best time and so did my husband and I - we trusted Elena and the team and we are grateful we did. -

May W. Sent on 06/23/2024The absolute best!
From the first consultation call, we immediately knew that Krissie was the planner for us!! Wedding planning is no easy task and to add to it, my then-fiance and I were planning our wedding from out-of-state for 150 guests, which made it all even more daunting. But throughout the whole process, Krissie was so organized, detail-oriented, personable, and positive. She made herself available for calls that would often go for longer than planned and talked through all our questions, concerns, and little issues that inevitably pop up when planning a wedding. What I learned very quickly with Krissie is that nothing is impossible and everything can be solved with a creative alternative! As a bride who had no vision of what I wanted our wedding to be, Krissie was so patient and helped us piece together elements we knew we wanted (as well as what we didn’t know we wanted) into a cohesive vision board, and ultimately into THE MOST unforgettable wedding day!! From start to finish that day, everything was SEAMLESS. We had multiple people comment on how calm we were pre-ceremony, and reflecting on it, I truly believe it’s because we knew that Krissie and her team were there managing the timeline, our amazing vendors, the guests, and more. She was with me at all the right moments throughout the day, even though she was also managing a million other things. And not surprisingly, our guests raved about the wedding as well!! And it continues…fast forward to a week after our wedding, I was telling my now-husband how sad I was that I didn’t save our personalized drink stirrers and DIY menus, but was surprised to find that Krissie saved them in our cardbox! I could go on and on, but thank you Krissie and the White Lace team; you made our wedding planning process & weekend such a positive experience!! 120% recommend the White Lace team to any couple planning their wedding in Southern California! -

Vanessa Sent on 09/27/2023Imagine your bestie plans your wedding
I don't have enough words to express how AMAZING White Lace was in planning my wedding! I initially connected with Krissie and immediately felt comfortable and at ease, and she linked me up with Jessa as my coordinator.
Jessa was SO incredible. She was responsive at all hours of the day, detail-oriented, extremely professional, honest, personable, and KIND. She made the whole process so stress-free during a very emotional time. Being a type-A bride and planner myself, Jessa let me be as involved or not involved as I wanted to be, which was the perfect combination for me.
I can't recommend White Lace enough, they are the BEST value of any planner that I interviewed, and it was definitely the best decision I made for my wedding. Hands down. -

Arabella Sent on 06/13/2023Best planner + team
Where do I even begin... From the very start, Krissie impressed us with her genuine dedication and personalized approach. She took the time to truly understand my husband and me, and it felt like we had known her forever. Throughout the entire planning process, she skillfully refined my vision and provided us with clear, manageable steps to prevent us from becoming overwhelmed. Krissie's professionalism shone through as she expertly navigated complex family dynamics and advocated for our needs with vendors. Every step of the way, she made herself available for lengthy phone calls and zoom meetings, always displaying remarkable patience with my random texts and last-minute panics.
On the day of our wedding, Krissie and her team were nothing short of amazing. They thought of every detail and flawlessly executed their plans, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the moment. Their genuine desire to make our day as enjoyable as possible was evident in their every action. A perfect example of their dedication was when I experienced discomfort with my contacts during the reception. Within a mere four minutes of mentioning it, Krissie's team sprinted to my room, retrieved extra pairs, and delivered them to me promptly. It's these thoughtful gestures that set them apart.
Additionally, the vendors recommended by Krissie were absolutely fantastic, exceeding our expectations. Thanks to her guidance, our day was stunning, and we managed to stay within our budget. I would wholeheartedly choose to work with Krissie again and relive the entire experience if given the chance.
Thank you, Krissie, for being an exceptional wedding planner who truly cares about creating unforgettable moments for couples. We are forever grateful for your expertise, professionalism, and unwavering support throughout our journey. -

Kathryn Sent on 04/25/2023Incredible Wedding Planning Experience
Wow! Words and a 5 star review will not be close to enough in explaining what a gift Krissie and White Lace were to planning the most incredible wedding for me and my now husband. I never thought I’d be one of those cliche brides, but my wedding was truly the best day of my life and it’s due to Krissie and her team. It was a completely stress free process (minus some venue issues we experienced with some unanticipated construction but again Krissie helped us navigate and ensure it had zero impact on the day); I had the BEST time and every detail was absolute perfection. So many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to - and they have been to a lot! I am still smiling!
Krissie is exceptional at what she does. She is an excellent and timely communicator, is extremely organized, has relationships with amazing vendors, and has impeccable taste, By the end my mom and I (who can be quite opinionated) joked that we weren’t capable of making a decision without getting Krissie’s approval first - she truly became that trustworthy and we valued her opinions greatly. She has is incredibly patient and generous with her time; she offered up SO much of her time hopping on hours long calls to discuss everything from big decisions to minor details like spending probably too much time on the wording of the invites ;) ; she made sure all of our questions were answered and always made us feel comfortable. She also has this incredible capability to take the most vague unorganized thoughts I would have about a vision I had in mind and be able to somehow translate it into exactly what I was envisioning and more. -

Natalie Sent on 04/22/2023Krissie & White Lace Truly make MAGIC
Krissie and her team are BEYOND amazing and exceeded my expectations. I called Krissie my "Wedding Guardian Angel" because on my wedding day she guided and supported me through the entire day & year leading up to it. A wedding is so much work and having an wedding planner and designer is so crucial to ensuring the day goes beautifully. Krissie assisted or guided me in every detail of my wedding (choosing vendors, invitations, design, setting up my entire wedding, telling me what to say to my bridesmaids, and SO much more). I would 100% recommend White Lace Event. Krissie is the sweetest and most amazing person to work with! -

Erin Sent on 11/23/2022Jessa is amazing!
Our wedding day was so perfect and stress-free because of Jessa and the team at White Lace! My husband and I loved working closely with Jessa in the months leading up to the wedding. She is so organized, professional, and personable. She kept us on track, scheduled calls/ facetime to connect and ensured we were always ahead of schedule for booking vendors / finalizing details. We are both residents and super busy - we would have never been able to pull this off without her expertise. By the time the month of the wedding came around, we had absolutely nothing to stress about because she made sure it was all done. We were able to truly enjoy our wedding weekend and soak it all in. On our actual wedding day, everything went so smoothly and all I remember from the day is being so blissfully happy and carefree. I appreciate that Jessa afforded us the luxury of truly being present on our day. Of all of our vendors, Jessa was probably the most important part and definitely the highest value (I would pay more in retrospect knowing how crucial her role was in making our event so perfect!) She is so great at what she does and I would recommend her to any of my friends in San Diego. Thank you so much Jessa for giving us the perfect wedding!!! -

Katie Sent on 09/03/2022Krissie is phenomenal!!
If I could give Krissie and White Lace 100 stars, I would and it still wouldn't be enough! I am positive that if I didn't have Krissie, my wedding would not have been as smooth as it was and I would have been beyond stressed and unable to enjoy the day.
I could not have asked for a more amazing wedding planner than Krissie. As soon as I spoke to Krissie on the phone for our consultation call, I knew I wanted her to be my wedding planner. She was warm, excited, engaging, caring and genuinely passionate about her career. We had a long engagement and she was responsive throughout our engagement and would answer all my frantic emails and random questions at midnight. She would constantly check in with me and see if I needed anything and ask if the vendors were communicating with me. She constantly went above and beyond in every single way for me.
On the Monday before my wedding, Krissie and I had a 90 minute final planning call to go over the final timeline and she walked me and my mom through every step on the timeline. She could tell I was overwhelmed and a bit stressed and told me to breathe and just try to enjoy this time in my life. It meant so much to me that she took the time to calm me down and remind me of how special this time was.
Krissie was so helpful during our rehearsal. She was patient and kind and understanding with our bridal party. We went through the rehearsal several times and we practiced our first kiss 3 times, which made me feel more comfortable.
Krissie and her team were absolutely instrumental on the day of the wedding and the day truly could not have been possible without White Lace. She had me make a "Krissie corner" so that everything needed for the ceremony and reception was in one place ready to go. She and her team set everything up and the reception looked better than I even imagined. Krissie came and checked on me multiple times while I was getting hair and makeup ready to see how I was doing. At one point, we were even ahead of schedule with hair and makeup and I know that was all thanks to Krissie. I felt relaxed and calm while getting ready and not rushed at all. When my dad and I were about ready to walk down the aisle, he noticed there was some dirt/makeup on his suit jacket and Krissie pulled out a little blotting sponge and got rid of the schmutz! She was prepared for anything!
As soon as the ceremony was over, she brought my husband and I drinks of our choice and constantly made sure we were hydrated and fed. She orchestrated the family and bridal party photos and made sure we were back on time for the grand entrance. She even took behind the scenes photos and sent them to me the next morning! Krissie and her team brought everything back up to our honeymoon suite so there was nothing for us to do at the end of the night. Everything was truly orchestrated perfectly and it could not have been better. Krissie's assistant Elena was amazing as well and took care of our dog, who was in our ceremony. She made sure he was fed and safe in his crate in our room.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Krissie and White Lace and she is truly the reason my wedding went so smoothly. My dad, who originally squawked at the idea of a wedding planner, even said he 1000% saw the value in Krissie and would use her again in a heartbeat. I am beyond grateful to Krissie and I cannot recommend her and White Lace enough to other couples. I promise you won't regret using White Lace as your wedding planner!! -

We had the pleasure of working with Jessa and Krissie from White Lace and they were honestly the BEST. Jessa helped put together my dream wedding-everything exceeded my expectations and we truly had the most special wedding day. Everything was meticulous, detailed, organized, and she answered all texts/emails in a timely fashion. All of our vendors loved working with her, and all of our wedding guests were so impressed by the wedding, it was a dream! Thank you SO much!White Lace Events & Design's reply:

Braden Sent on 11/20/2021Amazing team!
We had the pleasure of working with Krissie and White Lace to plan our wedding, and cannot speak highly enough of the experience. Krissie and team were incredibly organized, super fun to work with, and helped us put together an absolutely perfect wedding day. They were responsive throughout the entire process, anticipated our needs, always answered our numerous questions in detail, off the wall ideas, and were always patient and supportive when we would change our minds about something. Krissie's expertise in the industry was so helpful and all her hard work meant that the entire planning process was smooth and not at all stressful for us. We were truly able to sit back and enjoy our wedding day, which was even more perfect than we could have imagined! Most importantly, they made sure we ate AND packed up extra cake for us to enjoy afterwards :)White Lace Events & Design's reply:

Michelle Sent on 09/25/2021Amazing SD Wedding Planning/Design Company!
My husband Christian and I always knew we wanted to have a destination wedding. We were big travelers and the idea of having a wedding in California was wedding goals for us. We went through the initial planning process by searching for a planner after we decided we would have the wedding in San Diego. From the moment we connected with Krissie over the phone, we felt an instant connection. I had shared with Krissie my vision for a California-Chic wedding and bridesmaids wearing all white and she immediately shared the same enthusiasm I had for creating my wedding vision. Throughout our planning process, Krissie scheduled calls with us to discuss our wedding design, set up, and helped us organized our ideas into a reality. Krissie was extremely organized, responsive and always so understanding when we would have moments of panic. Despite the looming covid concerns over the past year, Krissie always had a way of talking through contingency plans with us. She helped us wrangle in all the vendors and stayed on top of all communication. Because we weren’t local to SD, Krissie would always make herself available to meet in-person with any vendors and/or the venue if needed. Krissie was our anchor through this planning process. They say that you learn so much about yourself through planning a wedding and the relationships you grow. For us, it was building a solid connection with Krissie who always kept us grounded and was there for us when we needed her the most. Krissie and the WL team helped us design a beautiful and magical wedding vision and we are forever grateful. If you are in the market for a planner in the SD area, look no further – Krissie and the White Lace Team are a dream to work with!White Lace Events & Design's reply:
My loves, oh my goodness, thank you for the kindest, most amazing review! My heart is so full and I adore you both so much! Thank you for letting me be part of your planning celebrations! xoxo -

Where do we begin in complimenting Krissie and White Lace Events....from the very first email, a prompt response and meeting to discuss our vision, we knew that we had met our match.
Over the course of a year and a half we went through a pandemic restrictions that forced us to reimagine our entire wedding plans, to a surprise pregnancy, Krissie championed every change and we can honestly say that we could not have done this without her. Our day was an absolute dream, every vendor we picked from a list of Krissie's recommendations that matched our personalities and goals we had for our day. She made our vision come to life and it was pure MAGIC!White Lace Events & Design's reply:
YOU two are pure magic!! It takes one to know one ;) Thank you for the amazing review and so LOVED being part of your planning, design and wedding day celebrations *heart eyes* -

After finishing our initial phone call, it was an easy decision to work with Krissie and her team at White Lace. I felt like I had just gotten off the phone with a long time friend! Krissie is so personable, so thoughtful, and her passion for her work clearly shines in all she does. She developed our wedding plan, suggested an incredible team of vendors, and when our wedding was postponed due to COVID, she ensured the transition to our new date was seamless! I truly enjoyed the wedding planning process with her by our side (3,000 miles away! Planning a California wedding from Bermuda is no joke!). Even when some major life changes called her away just weeks before our wedding day, she ensured Jessa, another incredible member of the White Lace team, was up to speed on all of our details and the overall picture of our big day. We felt completely at ease with Jessa at the helm; she was organized, forward thinking, down to earth, and just as excited as we were! I'm so thankful for the White Lace team, and so thankful for that moment right before walking down the aisle. Mom and Dad on either side of me, Jessa standing in front of us, asking us to pause, close our eyes, smell my bouquet, listen to the music, and take it all in. It really solidified the wonderful memory in my mind forever! I cannot recommend White Lace highly enough.White Lace Events & Design's reply:
You are such a sparkle of sunshine! Thank you for the kindest, beautiful review! It was an absolute joy to plan and celebrate with you both!! xoxo -

Morgan Sent on 10/14/2020More than Just a Wedding Planner
Liz and the White Lace team were referred to us by a friend, and with all the high praises we were so excited to have her on board. We hired White Lace about a year before our (original) wedding date. As a couple not from Southern California, who wanted to invite all their east coast guest to a CA wedding, we needed help. The team helped us from securing venues, finding perfect floral and rental vendors to even helping me find a wedding dress shop. We were impacted directly by COVID-19 and had to postpone our wedding 3 different times. The extra work and dedication from Liz does not match any other. She has spent countless hours on the phone with us, not as a wedding planner, but as a friend assuring us that the postponement will only be a better wedding experience. We can't say enough about Liz and her hard work over the last 1.5 years. She's become more than just a planner but a true life long friend. WE CANNOT WAIT FOR 10/8/21. -

Elizabeth Sent on 10/24/2019You will love working with White Lace!
Krissie and the White Lace team were instrumental in making my wedding dreams come true! From day one Krissie kept me on track on the many elements of planning as I was also a full-time grad student while wedding planning. The vendor recommendations were on-point and due to her strong industry connections was able to orchestrate the wedding I envisioned. The team was always a text or call away when I needed help or just needed a calming voice to tell me everything was going to be okay :)
I can't imagine going through wedding planning without Krissie's advice and calming demeanor. I promise you will miss talking to her once your wedding over! -

Michelle Sent on 10/16/2019Krissie and the White Lace team are wedding Gods!
We worked with her for almost 9 months on our wedding and she went above and beyond every single step of the way and our wedding was absolutely our dream! Right out of the gates we clicked and felt so comfortable with her, she is the perfect combination of sweet and strict which you want in someone who is watching your back with every vendor and also spending time during such intimate and sometimes stressful moments. She helped us put together the absolute dream squad of vendors, was there to help make sure everything design wise went together and would send adorable notes and texts after big events and as the date got closer which brought a smile to our faces every time. Her day of timeline was INCREDIBLE, myself as the bride who is also completely A type and a business owner knew without a doubt she had things handled to a T so I was able to really enjoy not only the process but the magical day, normally handing over the reigns is very difficult for me to do and I had no doubts in trusting her! I had no idea how much of a production this was going to be and I absolutely would not have had the same results or experience if it weren’t for her. I will absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone!! -

My husband and I had the absolute perfect wedding of our dreams thanks to Liz and her White Lace team. We truly could not have gotten through the wedding planning process without her. If not for Liz we would have eloped--she made wedding planning enjoyable, fun and exciting (not to mention 1000x less stressful!). Liz went above & beyond for us and we owe a truly magical experience to her and her team. -

Helene Sent on 09/09/2018If White Lace is available for your wedding date, hire them! I cannot speak highly enough of these wedding planners. Hiring them was the best decision my husband and I made during the entire wedding planning process. They are worth every penny and then some. White Lace provides a vendor list to suit your style and budget. This list in it of itself was worth their fee. It took the guesswork out of our planning.
Krissie and Liz are both so sweet and easy to work with. They answered all of our questions promptly. In addition to being planners, they helped us handle tricky family situations.
If it weren’t for White Lace, our wedding day would not have been seamless. Despite the issues we had with our venue, everything went according to plan and our wedding day was everything we hoped it would be. White Lace made sure our day was perfect.
If you want to enjoy your wedding day, White Lace will make this possible. They made sure my husband and I each had our appetizers waiting for us at our sweetheart table and that we had a chance to eat dinner. They arranged to have dessert sent to our hotel room at the end of the night. Krissie even bustled my dress before our first dance. They think of every detail, so you don’t have to. -
