KIND WORDS

 

We had the pleasure of working with Natalie as a day-of coordinator for our wedding reception at Moongate Lounge, SF in September 2023. She handled everything with a calm grace the day-of and made us feel at ease when it came down to executing the evening. Although we only booked her for a day-of coordination, she was so helpful and responsive to any and all questions we threw at her months in advance. She's also smart, sweet and has great taste!! Thank you Natalie, we had the best night of our lives!!

Natalie, we wanted to thank you so much for all your help, especially in the weeks leading up to this weekend. 

You helped us to pull together an incredible vendor team. Abi was a complete delight and we have no doubt between her shooting and film there will be more beautiful moments revealed. Sammy and team pulled off an incredible thing and built a wondrous garden that truly made the evening spectacular. The execution was incredibly impressive and we were beyond happy with the outcome! We are so grateful that it made the wedding such an unforgettable atmosphere. Foxtail was top notch and people said it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. Joyce transformed me into my best self and stayed with me to help me through my tears. And you and team were seamlessly flowing through it all behind the scenes!

We booked Natalie's partial planning services for our wedding this past fall. She came highly recommended by an acquaintance, and we are so happy to have met such a kind, cool & collected, wonderful person. She brought structure to the process, and recommended the most amazing group of vendors. We were grateful for her previous experience at the venue, and she expertly helped us navigate the hectic flow of the day. She patiently answered all of our questions when we struggled with making decisions, kept us on track when we were getting overwhelmed, and made sure every detail was accounted for. She has a fantastic design sense, and was able to transform what little vision we had (most of the inspiration we provided came straight from her gorgeous portfolio) into something that felt like us. We were blown away by how beautifully came together on the day-of, and were able to truly enjoy the day with her & her team taking care of everything behind the scenes. Thank you, Natalie - we couldn't have done it without you!!

ALICIA & KEN L. | August, 2022 at Park Winters


I needed a planner because of the chaotic stories all of my friends had told me of planning their own wedding. I couldn't handle that with both work and school. It was the best decision we made to hire Natalie. We are so happy to have met her. She has been so kind and patient with us throughout our wedding planning journey. The process has been so smooth for us thanks to her and we couldn't have asked for a better wedding. She takes our vision and goes beyond what we imagined possible. She even made sure to have our personal belongings and our special cake packaged neatly in our boxes at the end of our wedding! Her attention to detail and care made me speechless. If you want a dream wedding she's your answer!!

JENNY & MARCUS R. | October, 2022 at Flood Mansion


We booked Natalie for full planning for our wedding in March 2022. From the very start, Natalie expertly guided us through everything from choosing our perfect venue to walking through all the different vendors we would need. She was thorough, organized, and professional, going over a detailed timeline and budget for us. Natalie has an expert eye for design, and we relied on her judgment for all sorts of elements including our wedding invitations, escort displays, table settings, and wardrobe. She was also super responsive to any questions we had (big or small).

During the week before and on the day of our wedding, Natalie continually stayed on top of everything, even though we had a number of last-minute questions and adjustments on our end. We were so happy with how our wedding turned out, and it really would not have been possible without Natalie. We would wholeheartedly recommend Natalie as a full-service or day-of planner to any of our friends & family!

ANH & HENRY T. | March, 2022 at Park Winters


Professional, organized, and attentive. We used Natalie for our wedding celebration and chose the day of package; it was perfect for what we needed. I worked with Natalie leading up to our big day, then also worked with the lead, Michelle, who was there day of. Both were extremely helpful anytime I had a question or needed an honest, unbiased opinion. Kristy, Michelle's assistant day of, was also amazing. Highly recommend Natalie and her team!

JACQUELINE & THOMAS B. | November, 2021 at Villa Montalvo


We are so beyond grateful for how beautifully and perfect our big day turned out! Everything exceeded our expectations. Your attention to detail, kindness, and thoughtfulness made it so much better and it's clear that you put your whole heart and soul into what you do! The compliments on the day are still flooding in and it is all thanks to you! After almost two years of planning (thanks for sticking with us!) it felt like a dream come true to see our day brought to life. We cannot thank you enough, and we loved every step of the process!

DELNA & PATRICK K. | October, 2021 at Villa Montalvo


Natalie!!! I don't think words can express how stunned I was with our wedding...the ceremony set up was even dreamier than I could have imagined and the reception was incredibly elegant. From choosing the vendors to creating the vision to running around the day of to make sure everything ran smoothly - our family and guests told us it was truly the most beautiful wedding they've ever been to it is all thanks to you. I'm so thankful you took our wedding on and stayed even later than planned. You'll always have a special place in our hearts for creating our special day and I'm so excited to see all the creative work you'll do in the future!

SUMI & ED C. | September, 2021 at Park Winters


We booked Natalie's partial planning for our wedding in September 2021. We had an incredible team of vendors, but Natalie was hands down the most integral person to ensuring we had the best day of our lives at the wedding. Natalie was extremely responsive and patiently answered our hundreds of questions throughout the entire planning process. Natalie coordinated a large vendor team spanning 8 different vendors and 3 different rental companies while communicating the status of everything to us. We also had to postpone our wedding by a whole year due to COVID and Natalie was not only extremely gracious with her rescheduling policy, but she also helped rebook our vendors and rentals to our new date.

From the beginning, Natalie established herself as an organized, communicative person that helped us trust her fully with all of the wedding details. She has an eye for beautiful design and her layout plans and timelines are thoughtfully put together to ensure the event runs as smoothly as possible. I couldn't possibly list out everything Natalie has done for us, but I can say with confidence that Natalie is a fantastic wedding planner and the of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding.

Wedding planning was quite a long & daunting process but our amazing wedding planner made it as easy it could be. She helped execute our vision and bring our dream wedding to life. We couldn’t have done it without her. I cannot be more thankful. Our wedding day was literally one of the best days of my life. I had the time of my life, I felt beautiful, I had no worries that day but to enjoy it and I sure did. I can’t stress it enough how thankful I am to have done this with Natalie!!

DAWN & JORDAN M. | September, 2019 at Villa Montalvo


After wedding planning with Natalie for the past 1.5 years,  I can whole hearted recommend her services after we had an amazing wedding day last weekend. We found her through a friend's recommendation, and we immediately were drawn to her sense of design and style. Her work is clean, simple, delicate, and elegant. After we hired her for full service wedding planning, she helped us select the perfect venue and vendor team to make our day special! We actually instantly loved the first venue we saw with her, which she picked based on her interview with us. My husband and I were among the first in our friends and family to get married, so we really would not have made it happen without Natalie's expert knowledge and advice throughout our planning. We are also hopelessly unstylish and Natalie made everything gorgeous for us, from working super closely with our florist (our only request was "make it pretty") to picking out a perfectly complimentary outfit for us for our engagement shoot, or selecting a tasteful invitation suite.

If you hire Natalie, your event will be smooth, beautiful, and so much fun. You will also get to work with a kind, sweet, and organized person throughout your planning process. It doesn't get better than that!

Natalie was awesome to work with! She was our day of wedding coordinator and helped design and style our wedding as well. We found her via an instagram late night deep dive (I'm pretty sure we did, all the wedding research starts to blend together after a while!) and I really enjoyed reading her blogs that I felt like she would be a great fit for us to help our wedding come together. It was an added bonus that she was friends with my floral designer so it just all made sense for us to hire her!

She was available for all of my many questions & concerns I had for our wedding day and helped me curate my vision and bring what I had envisioned for our wedding day to life! She put together a great and detailed wedding timeline and honestly our wedding day was pretty flawless and a dream :) After going through this process and going to other weddings, I have gone to appreciate what Natalie did for us even more and making sure I was not stressed on the day of my wedding.

She's a gem! What are you all waiting for? :D

JUDYTH & MIKE L. | March, 2019 at The Millwick


My husband and I had the pleasure of having Natalie as our wedding day-of-coordinator. Natalie is the perfect person to entrust with all your wedding details, organization, and coordination. She has a great attention for detail, responds to all your concerns and questions quickly, and is a great communicator. She absolutely knows what she is doing and always gave me the best feedback on questions and uncertainties I had. When you work with Natalie you have the assurance and confidence that things will be handled efficiently and appropriately. On our wedding day, we were able to be at peace and stress-free to enjoy the actual day because Natalie worked hard to ensure that everything ran smoothly. Natalie created a detailed timeline for our wedding to make sure everything was on time (very important for the day of). When our ceremony ran a little longer than planned, Natalie ensured we got back on track and our guests didn’t go hungry. Our wedding day would not have been possible without Natalie and we are so thankful for her. If we had a bigger wedding budget, I would absolutely have hired her for full wedding planning services. She has a great vision and her style and aesthetics is impeccable. We loved working with her and also just getting to know the wonderful person she is! You will not regret working with Natalie and she will help make your wedding the best day ever!

Natalie, you are an angel. Thank you for working with Josh and I from the start to understand our vision for the day and updating us as plans needed to change or details needed to be adjusted. You kept everything so organized and easy to find throughout the entire process and always had an answer or ideas for anything that came up. You always came up with recommendations when needed and kept our crazy family organized during the rehearsal and on the big day. We cannot say or do enough to thank you for making our dream wedding come to life from the timeline to the table setting details we were so impressed. You made the planning process such a breeze and enjoyable. I always looked forward to emails from you because that meant more fun things to decide as a couple and more beautiful details to work on. We received so many compliments throughout the day and I could attribute almost all of those compliments at least partially to something you did, recommended, or helped with. You have such a beautiful eye for detailing and organization. I can’t possibly explain everything we loved that you did but especially on the day of with the last minute bag of details we handed you you made the most of everything. We loved the placement of the escort cards on the mantle during cocktail hour, we loved the placement of the honey pots on the table with dinner and we loved the placement of the flags and s’mores cookie jars on the way out of the door for guests to grab easily. You made everything on our big day go so smoothly and we will remember everything so fondly as we start the marriage we have been so excited for. Thank you for not only helping us plan a wedding but also letting us keep planning a marriage as well. There is truly nothing we appreciate more than that.

SARAH & JOSH K. | August, 2018 at The San Francisco Mint


Natalie was heaven sent for our day! She was kind, patient, professional, and guided us through the challenges of planning an intimate ceremony/elopement from across the country. Her replies were always prompt to my many, many questions throughout the months leading up to our day and her guidance alleviated many of my fears and doubts. Even with last minute changes she took it all in stride and made our day wonderfully stress free. I wholeheartedly recommend Natalie and would happily trust her to make any special event run smoothly and beautifully. Thank you Natalie for your kindness and hard work!

JOANNA & BILLY W. | June, 2018 at San Francisco City Hall


When I met Natalie and saw her work on Instagram, I knew I wanted her to take care of my wedding day. I knew  the day of, I wouldn't have to worry about anything because if anything happened, I knew Natalie would take care of it. I felt confident knowing that whatever decision she made, it would be in my best interest and that's something you really need in your day-or coordinator. If I had a bigger budget, I would've hired Natalie for styling services. Natalie was so helpful leading up the wedding too. If I had any last minute questions, she was there. She really knows what she's doing and has a huge network so I'm sure she can help find the right vendor for your style or budget.

GINA & RONSON L. | May, 2018 at Villa Montalvo


My review for Natalie is long overdue, but I would give her more stars if I could! Natalie is a joy to work with and exceeded all my expectations for a wedding planner. Her and her team made my wedding day as stress-free as possible. From the very beginning, she took her time to help us build our vision, plan our budget and walked us through the entire process. We hired her for her full planning package and we definitely had no regrets. She made wonderful suggestions for vendors and I loved all her style advice. She is also a great communicator as she answered all my questions promptly via text, email etc. I would highly recommend Natalie because she is very detail-oriented and organized. She did an amazing job and brought my dream wedding to fruition. Don't hesitate to choose Natalie for all of your wedding/event planning needs!

MICHELLE & KURTIS L. | May, 2018 at Aracely Cafe


Natalie was such a delight to work with! I can't imagine what our wedding day would've been like if we didn't have her as our day of coordinator. She made me feel at ease during the whole planning process, and consistently checked in on how I was doing. When I walked into our reception venue on our wedding day, I was shocked and amazed at how beautiful everything was styled and set up! It was everything I envisioned and more! Natalie is very detail oriented, talented and a true professional! She made our wedding day so special!

CLARE & SAM Y. | June, 2017 at Allied Arts Guild


I first reached out to Natalie through a mutual friend. Though we were acquaintances in the past, we never had much interaction until then. And Natalie was such a delight to work with! Joe and I were more particular than we thought we would be, but Natalie was graceful in handling all the details and planning of the day. She was also so helpful in being a soundboard for ideas regarding decorations and logistics. One of the greatest joys was having a common understanding of the purpose of marriage and the goal of honoring God on our wedding day. Natalie is very sweet and I received countless comments on how sweet and helpful she was on our wedding day. She will make sure you and your spouse-to-be is taken care of, and that you are shielded from any unnecessary negativity and stress throughout the day. 

Joe and I loved, loved, loved every moment of our wedding day, and we know that it came together so smoothly all thanks to Natalie. 

We are overjoyed to hear of her upcoming wedding, and wish her nothing but a life full of growth and love in Christ!! Thank you Natalie!!

JANE & JOSEPH S. | May, 2016


Natalie exceeded all of our expectations as our wedding planner and day-of-coordinator. She has a great positive attitude and is extremely organized and detail oriented. She is also super artsy and made this awesome name card display!

Without her help, our wedding day would have been chaotic and stressful. She created a detailed timeline and made sure everything was running smoothly.  Because of her skill sets, our wedding day started smoothly and ended without any logistical issues.

I would highly recommend Natalie to help with any event. I truly believe the success of our day was due, in large part, to her commitment and dedication!
