Compliments
"We threw a roaring 1920s wedding, and before Pamela we were having trouble pulling the theme together. She jumped in and not only recommended amazing vendors, she even went as far as to help pick out vessels for the flowers arrangements and table cloth colors and patterns. Pamela also came to each vendor meeting and really facilitated the whole process. I really credit her with how great the theme came together." - Alex McGee

"As you know, we are over-the-moon happy with how our wedding events were managed. Thank you. Both the welcome reception and the wedding were absolutely and undeniably fabulous. The weekend was exactly what we wanted it to be: comfortable, fun and elegant. More than a few guests have told us that this was the best wedding that they have ever been to. We recognize that you were the backbone of this wedding, and we are very appreciative of your talent and vision." - Patricia Calfee & Ian Picache Wedding

"I can't begin to thank you for all you did to create a wonderful atmosphere for Stephanie and Boo's wedding. I don't think I would have changed a thing other than hired you earlier in the planning scheme." Diane Casagrande – Casagrande & Purcell Wedding

"You did an outstanding job!" - Mallory Samson, photographer Casagrande & Purcell

"You seriously are the best and your friends that have known you for a long time are so lucky and I feel lucky to know you the time that I have because you are a good and dear friend. What you say always makes me feel better and I appreciate it so much." – Stephanie Casagrande, Casagrande & Purcell Wedding

"I just wanted to say thank you for always being so gracious. I understand your challenges as an event planner and really appreciate your flexibility." - Sibyl Graham, de Young Museum Event Coordinator

"You are really doing a great job keeping all these balls in the air." - Audrey Hardy, Paula LeDuc Fine Catering

"Thanks for all your work and planning with Holly’s wedding. Everyone keeps telling me that it was the best wedding they have been to! " Kristine Jacobson - Jacobson & Peterson Wedding

"We can not thank you enough...you are such a joy to be around and have truly carved a place in our hearts." Holly Jacobson & Karl Peterson - Jacobson & Peterson Wedding

"We just wanted to express our sincere gratitude and to thank you for all of your excellent help in coordinating our wedding. It was a wonderful event, and would not have been nearly as memorable had we not had your assistance. As I am sure you will re-call, we underwent several significant changes in our plan, none of which seemed to rattle you. Your professionalism shined and your ability to handle each detail with a sense of calm helped remove much of the stress and anxiety we were experiencing. Additionally, your experience and contacts throughout the bay area made our decisions easy to make. You had presented several options for each type of vendor within our budget. Your outline/plan helped to keep us on track with timing, removing any last minute snafus that would have caused us stress. Attention to detail and your amazing ability to do 10 things at once are attributes we found to be beyond comparison. We truly wish you the best and continued success. Your work is far and above the competition, and we are confident you will continue to ‘Wow’ and impress your clientele for years to come." Tim & Jen Borden – Joyner & Borden Wedding

"I can’t say enough how important it is to have someone like Pamela by your side the day of your wedding. You may think your mom or bridesmaids will be there to help...they are not :-) They are all getting ready the same time you are and what you need is someone JUST looking out for you. I had a button pop off my dress. Pamela had super glue, I had my antique pearls break....Pamela had a small safety pin. She steamed my dress which I had forgotten to take out of the garment bag since I was hiding it from my husband to be :-) So many little things I could not have planned for and she was prepared!!!!" Cheryl Lewis

"I have greatly enjoyed working with Pamela. She has been flexible with us in her services and fees. I have done a lot of my planning because I wanted to do so. However, I have discussed everything with her and she has given me great feedback and suggested alternative (and creative) ideas. She will also do the actual work for us, if we needed. Pamela's personality is fantastic. She's positive, enthusiastic and very professional. She has a lot of great ideas because she has a lot of experience with different types of bride/grooms and event spaces all over the Bay area. (She knows a lot of people in the Bay area, too.) We've been working with her since last September and it's been wonderful. She's also very willing to meet you in person on a regular basis to discuss ideas and plans. I would not hesitate to use her again. I've already recommended her to some of my friends who are planning weddings. If you need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me." Melanie Hicks - bride

"I interviewed several coordinators, all were organized and seemed to know the "in's and out's" of wedding planning. I chose Pamela first and foremost for her artistic side; she has original ideas that are classic and timeless. She makes everything beautiful.... BUT! I am extremely organized and very "A" type personality so I needed someone who I could count on to be organized, calm and efficient... With all that said, I wanted to have FUN! I am looking forward to our wedding this weekend and feel prepared and as relaxed as a bride can be. I will hire Pamela again, she is the best." Holly Peterson - bride
