Beyond Smitten Events

     

"We got married just two days ago and are still feeling the excitement of our wedding day, which would not have been a success without Mae. I can't say enough wonderful things about Mae. From our first meeting at a coffee shop in San Francisco, it felt like getting together with a friend. We hired her for the month of coordination, but she checked in with us throughout the months leading up to our wedding and was always available to answer questions and provide advice. We were planning a beautiful outdoor wedding in Foresthill, CA. Then the week before we were hit with cold and rain. Our vision for a spring wedding turned into a winter storm. Naturally I began to panic, but Mae was amazing and quickly helped us think through alternative spots for the cocktail hour, and we managed to shift things around so that everyone could stay warm and dry. Everything turned out more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. And during the wedding I didn't need to worry about a thing. Mae had everything under control and was so calm throughout, I don't know how she does it. I would recommend Mae to anyone, for any type of wedding. She can handle it all!"

     

You can tell Mae loves what she does and is a pro. For anyone who may be on the fence about whether you should invest in a coordinator for your wedding - the answer is Yes! It is 100% worth it.

We hired Mae for 'month-of coordination' which really began over three months out. Mae's services were perfect for the level of planning we needed. She took the lead role coordinating our church ceremony and hotel reception, each of which had their own event teams. She was also very familiar with working with the Cathedral and incorporating elements of a traditional Filipino wedding ceremony. This was important to us and her knowledge was incredibly helpful.

Her guidance and vendor recommendations were spot on without ever making us feel pressured to do anything other than what we had envisioned. In the month before the wedding she takes over as the point of contact for all vendors. This is when it gets really real! After all the work of planning, it was such a relief to have her managing all those last minute details and synching up timelines to get everyone on the same page. Then, on the actual wedding day, she was there receiving deliveries, handling set-up, and making sure the day flowed according to schedule. Let yourself, your family, and your wedding party enjoy hanging out and getting ready with you on the big day -  not stressing about any of that stuff.

Above all, Mae is the sweetest soul who just understood our vibe. Her calm demeanor put us at ease on the most hectic day of our lives, and she feels like another member of the family now :)

     

Beyond Smitten Events made planning my wedding stress free- even during a pandemic! I chose to do the package with wedding planning and day-of coordination and it was SO worth it! Mae even helped coordinate my Rehearsal Dinner- she can do it all!

Mae was so flexible, solutions oriented and organized- it was truly a dream to work with her! She was also extremely responsive to any questions or concerns I had throughout the planning process. She made sure that everything was done on a timeline, vendors were organized and honestly so many other details I hadn’t even considered. She made my entire vision come to life! On the actual wedding day- she made sure everything was set up perfectly and that all of the vendors knew exactly what to do and where to go. I feel so lucky to have gone through this process with Mae- she is amazing at what she does! I would highly recommend Beyond Smitten Events for your wedding!!

     

Even a year after my wedding, I will still say hiring Mae and her team as my day of coordinator was one of the best things I did. I debated about getting a day of coordinator until multiple former brides told me it's a necessity (they were right). I was planning my Sacramento wedding from Southern California and I really didn't know much about the area or who to look to. So, I turned to all the different wedding websites and found Beyond Smitten Events. Mae was there for me from start to finish. Having that support system during the planning and especially the day of was hands down one of the best things I did for our wedding (and honestly, myself). Mae was incredibly responsive and so accommodating to us. Mae and her team had the day flow by effortlessly. I've heard horror stories of weddings, but I can honestly say not one thing went wrong and I truly believe that is because Mae and her team were behind the scenes guiding everything. I cannot recommend her enough to any bride looking for a wedding coordinator. You will sincerely not regret it.

     

We felt an instant connection from the moment we sat down with Mae for our consultation. We instantly started coming up with ideas for our wedding. She inspired creative thoughts and made us feel super comfortable. She is super personable, fun, and professional. We hired Beyond Smitten Events for their Month of Coordination package. I could not be happier with my decision to do so. Mae was there for every little question I had leading up to the wedding. She provided me with inspiration, ideas, and support when I needed it. She even went as far as to send me a handwritten note a few weeks before the wedding to show me that she truly cares. The day of was absolutely perfect because of Mae. We ran into an issue with the flowers and Mae jumped straight in to correct it without hesitation. She completely saved the day for me. I 100% recommend her to anyone in need of a planner.
