PHE was created from a passion for helping others. What better way than to be on a team that helps bring the joy to one of the biggest days of your life. I'm a operations manager by day and wedding coordinator by weekend and I love it!

Awarded Best of Zola
As soon as I got engaged, I was quickly overwhelmed with all the details and work that went into creating a wedding day. I didn’t want to just go through the motions of planning a wedding but I wanted to enjoy the process from start to finish and knew I needed a wedding planner to help facilitate this. After researching for a planner, I kept seeing reviews raving about Jenniffer at Pineapple Hospitality Events and I could not be happier to have found her. Her organization, keen eye, and patience was above and beyond - with every conversation, you can tell she pours her heart and soul into helping create your event for you. If Jenn was on it, I never had to worry about something getting handled. Her help far exceeds logistical planning but extends from keeping me on track, conversations with vendors, to helping remove a splotch on my dress with the supplies from her amazing bridal box. Wedding planning was going so seamless, that I knew I needed her help in planning my rehearsal as well! The rehearsal and wedding day could not have gone more perfect and seamless without Jenn and her assistant Kissy - if there was a hitch in the day, I would have never known! Not only can I not say enough about Jenn but neither could my vendors. Everyone talked about her energy, determination to get it done regardless of roadblocks, and her organization. With Jenn and Kissy’s touch, you will watch your vision and dream event come to reality!

Stephanie Wooding (Owner / Lead Planner) When it comes to planning your event, it’s really about how that person (or team) embraces and uses that job experience in a resourceful and creative way. I’m a practical, organized, creative, resourceful, and resilient, “jeans and t-shirt” type chick. Well, the San Diego part of me is anyway. The LA in me is a driven, problem-solving, A-type, “take no guff” lady boss, that gets the job done on time, and within a realistic budget.

Stephanie kept me on track, she helped me make sure things were done when they were supposed to! I honestly could not have had such a great wedding without her! I provided her with my vision and gave her creative license to make it happen and she delivered! The last month of wedding planning life threw us some curve balls and Stephanie was so kind to us during that challenging time. If you are not sure whether or not you need a wedding planner, you do. Let me tell you not having to worry about set up, clean up, timelines and who knows what else made my day a breeze as a bride. Also Bonus! I was able to use some of her items-I didn’t have to buy them!!

Our wedding day was the absolute best thanks to the hard work, professionalism, and kindness that is Breezy Day! I highly recommend adding Courtney and Heather to your vendor team.

She made our day seamless by being calm, keeping us on schedule, and meeting us at the end of the aisle with our signature drinks ;). She made the day look easy and I’ve already recommended her to another bride. Heather’s floral design was out of the park! Not only did my husband and I love the way everything turned out, our guests were complimenting the arrangements all night! I had a vision and her work absolutely exceeded my expectations. She provided the perfect balance of elegance, romance, and warmth, and transformed the venue in the most beautiful way. Our wedding day was perfect and Courtney and Heather were a huge part of that. Add them to your team! Thank you, Breezy Day!

The Perfect Pair Wedding

Hi! I am Clemence the face behind The Perfect Pair Wedding :) I am born & raised in France, in the city of love Paris. During college I got the chance to do a semester abroad in San Diego, and met this really special, handsome, American guy... You see it coming? YES! After 3 years of long distance relationship, I finally married the love of my life. A little bit about The Perfect Pair Wedding... it is a San Diego based Wedding planning company, we plan & design weddings all over Southern California to bring to life our Perfect Pair's dreams.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we first connected with Clemence, we were feeling overwhelmed and anxious. With our wedding less than six months away and having recently parted ways with our original planner, we were in urgent need of someone who could bring our dream wedding to life. Clemence stepped in with infectious enthusiasm, and from the outset, it was clear she genuinely cared about realizing the vision we held for our special day. An early experience that solidified our confidence in Clemence, and one we will always cherish, was our engagement photoshoot. Just a week after our initial meeting, Clemence learned of our upcoming anniversary trip to the Loire Valley, where we planned to stay at a Chateau and have our engagement photos taken. The photographer we had initially found was unresponsive, creating a stressful situation. Clemence immediately took charge, connecting us with an amazing Parisian photographer she had collaborated with previously, Lea Everin. Within a couple of days, she had arranged a two-hour photoshoot for us at the Chateau. This swift action and dedication left us speechless and demonstrated a level of commitment that truly made the entire experience unforgettable. Clemence excelled in understanding and aligning with our expectations, particularly regarding organization. She effectively utilized a shared spreadsheet to keep us synchronized on tasks and, crucially, the budget. Her proficiency with Canva was also a great asset, allowing her to create clear visual representations for elements like table settings and decor, which was immensely helpful. During our meetings, Clemence had a remarkable ability to make us feel as though our wedding was her sole focus. She also introduced us to an outstanding team of vendors, including the talented photographer Renata Amazonas and Katlyn Jernigan from Toast Catering, all of whom contributed significantly to our day. What truly set Clemence apart was her receptiveness to feedback and her proactive approach. We had several productive meetings at the venue, which fostered a sense of calm and shared understanding, ensuring our wedding would be everything we envisioned. She also skillfully managed the planning process itself, making it feel like a unique and enjoyable experience in its own right. We'll never forget how she coordinated with cake vendors; after we expressed our desire for a fun and memorable tasting, she arranged a delightful experience at the venue with Connor’s Cakes, complete with delicious samples and champagne. Given the exceptional service leading up to the wedding, it's hard to imagine Clemence could have surpassed our expectations on the actual day – yet she did. Our wedding day proceeded flawlessly. Despite concerns about potential rain leading into the weekend, Clemence had worked diligently with us to prepare for all scenarios. Thankfully, the weather was beautiful, and we had the most perfect wedding we could have ever asked for. Throughout the entire day, we were completely free of worry, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in and savor every precious moment. Thank you, Clemence, for truly making our entire wedding journey and the day itself absolutely perfect. We will cherish these memories forever.

Slay Events was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Lily was warm, attentive, friendly, and responsive to all questions we had. Her communication was top-notch, and she was extremely detail-oriented, ensuring that everything came together seamlessly for our special day. Her planning tools and quick thinking helped us thinking of many details we would have missed otherwise. Lily truly went above and beyond, even being willing to help us coordinate our tea ceremony (which we hosted the day before our wedding). We asked Lily if she would be open to helping us coordinate our tea ceremony about a month before the event when we realized that we were getting overwhelmed with the details. She was ready and jumped right in to help! Lily ran both our tea ceremony and the wedding flawlessly. We found out later that on both days she was addressing needs that came up without us even knowing - allowing us to focus on enjoying our special weekend as a couple. We got so many compliments from our family members on Lily's fantastic coordination skills. We cannot thank Slay Events enough for the fantastic service that allowed us to fully enjoy our wedding weekend. We strongly recommend Slay Events for all of your event coordination needs!

We service San Diego, Santa Barbara, Palm Springs, Temecula, Santa Ynez, Los Angeles, Orange County, and beyond.

I can say with full confidence that our wedding would not have been possible without Bryce Gaston Events. From the beginning, Bryce took my vision and brought it to life in a way that exceeded our expectations and what we even thought was possible. Bryce not only ensured every detail was perfect but also advocated for us when it came to dealing with a VERY challenging venue that fought us on just about everything. Her extensive relationships with vendors gave us access to the best options, and she skillfully negotiated on our behalf, always keeping our best interests at heart. Even when my hair and makeup canceled 9 days before the wedding, she was able to help me secure the best artist who was better than who I'd originally chosen, myself. When the venue’s freight elevator broke on the day of the event, Bryce already had a Plan B in place, ensuring everything went off without a hitch. Thanks to her preparation and quick thinking, the day was flawless and our guests are still talking about our wedding! She was organized in the way she presented how everything would look day of, and always had a creative solution. Everything felt custom and tailored and was true to who we are. Her experience is truly unmatched. Truly every detail and minute of the day was accounted for with aisle planner and a schedule. If you want a planner who truly cares, has impeccable taste, is patient, and goes above and beyond to ensure your day is perfect, Bryce is the one. She was always accessible and had a creative solution for any issue that arose. I can't say enough about Bryce, but I know that we genuinely couldn’t have done this without her. I learned so much from working with her and I am forever grateful for how she brought my dream vision to life.

I have been officially working as a professional wedding planner since 2017. My love of all things weddings and events began at an early age. I worked at a country club in the summers before my freshman and sophomore year of college, I worked on the food and beverage staff which included being a banquet server, and can you guess which was my favorite shift to work, you guessed it, the weddings. Once I got to the point in my life where my friends were starting to get engaged and I was a bridesmaid in their weddings, I found myself taking on extra duties and wanting to be more involved that it hit me, I need to pursue being an event planner.

Miranda was absolutely amazing. We worked with her for a year to plan for our Sonoma wedding. She was recommended from a friend whose wedding she also planned and it was stunning. Even though she was not from the Sonoma area, she did an amazing job finding everything from the venue, to the vendors, photographer, and DJ. She has great attention to detail and really makes you feel at ease in the planning process. We had absolutely no idea what we wanted or what we were doing, but she made both me and my husband way less stressed on every matter. We even had a last minute DJ issue and she found us a new one right away. She helped set up food tastings and made sure we were on track for the big day in terms of seating charts and other small details. The wedding was perfect and she did a fantastic job telling us exactly what to do and where to be. She even helped my brother, the officiant, with what he was suppose to say during the ceremony, as this was his first time officiating. She did the signage, decor, literally everything and alleviated all the stress and jitters on our day. I couldn’t recommend her enough to plan and help on your day. I’d hire her again ten times over!

We hired Karen for 2-month coordination and right off the bat, she was such a thoughtful planner and her willingness to guide us through anything and everything was amazing. I love a good spreadsheet and Karen has the best!!! Every meeting with her was so productive and we left each one with clear next steps/homework. The day of the wedding, everything went SO smoothly. Karen and her team took care of setting up all of our decor and they did so beautifully! When I arrived to the venue and saw everything, I was taken aback by how stunning everything looked — we had a mix of florals, candles, and fruit for our decor so getting everything set up was no small feat. Karen’s creative eye flawlessly brought my vision to life and I am so so grateful! Outside of decor, Karen’s organization, vendor communication, and speedy cleanup at the end of night was top-notch. We were able to truly enjoy the night, knowing Karen was there. She even took fun videos of the reception on my phone, which were great to watch the morning after to help relive the night :’) Literally each one of my vendors raved about how much they loved working with Karen — if that’s not enough to convince you to hire her for your next event, idk what is! SUCH a pro. Would 100% recommend Karen to any couple!

We’re two friends based in sunny San Diego, and we’re passionate about turning your dream wedding into a reality. While we call the West Coast home, we love traveling across the country to help couples create unforgettable celebrations. From the big decisions to the tiniest details, we can’t wait to be a part of your planning journey and make your special day as magical as possible. Let’s make your wedding everything you’ve imagined and more!

I could not be more thrilled to recommend Kate at Timeless Ties! As someone who was on the fence between a traditional wedding and eloping, Timeless Ties helped me envision and craft an immensely beautiful and special wedding. It encapsulated every bit of love and the joy of sharing the beginning of a lifetime together with our dearest friends. Leading up to the wedding, Kate was intentional about connecting with my fiance and I multiple times to help us plan through all relevant details for preparation. She walked me through her comprehensive wedding planning documents and to develop a wedding timeline. The planning documents included details regarding important contacts, space to assign wedding tasks, and so much more. She connected with wedding vendors, and was especially helpful in connecting with and working with the wedding venue. Timeless Ties even referred us to our dream photographer! On the day of the wedding rehearsal, Kate came for several hours. She helped map out all of the important placement and transitional elements, directed the rehearsal, worked with our DJ, and helped with so many other details. I was unaware of many things that came up in the last minute because Kate handled them all graciously and independently, giving me space to truly be present with family and friends at our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, and on our wedding the following day. On the wedding day, Kate and her assistant coordinator arrived earlier than I did. Kate is the kind of person who leads by example and hard work; she spent hours setting up chairs, tables, placements, and arranging DIY decor. She worked well with our vendors and was the main point of contact for them the entire day. Kate was the maestro for our timeline and kept everything running according to schedule. During cocktail hour, she and a small team that she led completely changed the main grassy area from a ceremony set up to dinner set up. I wouldn't have changed a thing! If there were any snags in the day, I never knew about them as Kate handled everything. Kate is not only deeply competent, organized, and professional, but an absolute joy to work with. She cared deeply about the vision and priorities my fiance and I had in our wedding, really listened to understand what mattered to us, and spent the time to talk through any potential logistic conflicts to help us have a true understanding of the situation and all of the options available to us. Kate remained a calming presence throughout the wedding day, even as she managed so many details, which truly helped me stay present and able to soak in the day as well. Kate is kind, so positive, and connected with my family and friends. My wedding was one of the most special, incredible days of my life, thanks in no small part to Timeless Ties, and I had a blast spending time with her throughout the process as well!

Awarded Best of Zola
I first met Dre on a wedding we were both booked as vendors at in La Jolla, CA. The wedding was one of the best planned and executed that I had ever seen and it was clear why - Dre. Dre’s clear and proactive communication leading up to the events I’ve had with her sets her apart from other planners I’ve worked with. Her attention to detail, and ability to predict problems before they arise - and the fact she already has plans around any potential problems - makes events with Dre enjoyable as a vendor - but also for everyone in attendance as there is never a moment of panic or stress at any weddings I’ve done with Dre. Highly recommend Dre if you’re looking for a planner who will care just as much about your big day as you do! (She might even even care more than you!) 10/10 recommend for any wedding in San Diego / Southern California!

Welcome to The Dainty Daydream, where together we create beautifully styled gatherings- from romantic elopements in the mountains to breathtaking ceremonies in national parks or elegantly curated weddings closer to home. With a creative eye and attention to detail, we bring your vision to life seamlessly, from planning to execution- wherever your love story takes you.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Emily from Dainty Daydream for my wedding, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. I originally found her on Zola and hired her for day-of setup and design support—but she ended up being so much more than that. From the very beginning, Emily was incredibly responsive and kind, answering questions and offering guidance in the months leading up to our big day. We really dove in a month before the wedding to finalize all the details. I had already designed and chosen the decor myself, and Emily took everything I envisioned and brought it to life beautifully. On the wedding day, she handled setup and styling with such care and professionalism. Every detail was perfect, and walking into the finished space felt like stepping into my dream. Emily is sweet, calming, and so easy to work with. Dainty Daydream is a truly special company, and having her as part of our vendor team was one of the best decisions we made. If you’re looking for someone to bring your wedding vision to life with grace, precision, and heart—Emily is the one!

We are beyond grateful for everything Chris did to make our wedding day truly exceptional. From start to finish, he went above and beyond—far exceeding our expectations in every way. His professionalism, calm demeanor, and incredible attention to detail gave us complete confidence from the moment we started working together. Every part of the day came together beautifully, and it was clear that Chris's behind-the-scenes dedication made all the difference. Guests were literally raving about him—comments like “Where did you find Chris?! I’ve never seen a planner hustle like that” and “I saw him run up and down those stairs a dozen times before the ceremony!” were just a few of the compliments we heard. Several couples even asked for his contact info on the spot, which speaks volumes. A personal highlight: the care Chris showed my sister before her speech meant the world to us. He went out of his way to reassure her and help her feel confident—his kindness and thoughtfulness truly stood out. He also handled last-minute hiccups (including a DJ situation and a centerpiece mix-up) with total grace and professionalism, allowing us to stay fully present and enjoy the celebration without stress. Chris is experienced, compassionate, and incredibly dependable. He made our wedding not only beautiful, but seamless and stress-free. On top of that, his rates are more than fair—honestly, he could charge more and still be an amazing value for the caliber of service he delivers. If you're lucky enough to have Chris on your wedding team, you're in the best possible hands.
