Couture Events

Fantastic experience: Excellent

Fantastic experience: Hannah & Danielle are wine country superstars! My husband and I are so appreciative of Danielle and Hannah’s hard work on our wedding, and throughout the planning process. Planning a wedding from 2000 miles away can be stressful, but they made it so easy! They are warm, organized, and able to provide comfort in any situation. All of our vendors absolutely adored them as well! Would recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Krystel’s personality is infectious! She is a fabulous planner, designer and visionary and it’s no wonder Couture Events is one of the top Wedding Planners in San Diego!

Fantastic experience: We are so thankful Couture Events was a part of our day! Karina was there every step of the way and she was absolutely amazing. Everything from the day we chose Couture to the day after the wedding was flawless. Thank you Couture!

Fantastic experience: Our wedding day was the best day ever!!! Karina and the Couture Events team did our wedding day coordination and we are so thankful that they were there to take care of ALL THE THINGS so that we could be present with each other and our family and friends. We didn't have a worry or concern that whole day and we trusted them completely to make the day a success. Wedding day coordination is a necessity and worth.every.penny, and we are forever grateful to the ladies at Couture Events for making our day a dream come true. XO

Fantastic experience: Couture Events was the best decision we ever made to coordinate the day of our wedding!! 100000/10, they made my day stress free and beautiful, and were there the whole way to help and make sure we were comfortable!

Fantastic experience: My wife, Sarah, and I were treated to an amazing fairytale wedding. Karina and Krystel helped us have the best weekend of our lives. All of our friends and family marvelled at the detail that Couture Events planned for us. We live in another country.... all we had to do was show up. Everything was perfectly taken care of. Thank you Krystel and Karina!

Fantastic experience: Working with Couture Events was an absolute dream. I knew without a doubt that our wedding would be handled with care and that every little detail would be seen to. Krystel Tien has an impeccable business and a fantastic group of professional and fun ladies working for her. Couture Events is a cut above the rest and will execute your event with style and grace while always being respectful of your budget. The best part about working with CE is that I never had to worry. I wasn't worried about a thing. Krystel as my stylist and Karina Hale as my coordinator were both able to effortlessly balance giving me lots of space to follow my heart and stepping in to guide me to a decision when I began to feel overwhelmed. Going through the wedding planning process with Krystel and Karina in my corner gave me so much confidence! Another thing that CE is so great at is making their brides feel lovely and encouraged. Every, single email conversation I had with them over the course of a year of planning always included lots of positive and up-lifting language, which you don't even realize you needed until you hear it. Every time I'd leave a meeting with them, I'd walk back to my car feeling great and excited all over again for the big day. In the end, our wedding was the stuff of dreams and was so completely gorgeous. I was able to relax, breath and enjoy my wedding day because I knew that Krystel had helped me bring in the very best elements to transform our venue into an Old World Romantic space and that Karina was running a tight ship with our thirteen vendors; executing everything with perfection and a smile. I am so grateful and I wholeheartedly recommend Couture Events to the discerning and unique bride!

Fantastic experience: Krystel is the best!!! Not only is she incredibly professional and organized, she really goes above and beyond to make sure your wedding day is everything you dreamed of. I hired Krystel for "month-of" coordination, but she made herself available to me throughout the planning process! From the moment I hired her, she happily answered all of my questions, reviewed contracts, and offered advice whenever I asked. Once the month of my wedding came, she kicked into full gear, contacting all of my vendors, putting together a timeline, and kept me in the loop only when I needed to be, without bogging me down with the nitty gritty details that I really didn't need to be aware of. On my wedding day, she brought a whole team from Couture Events to help out, so she could literally be in multiple places at once! Everything went perfectly - I couldn't have imagined things going more smoothly on my wedding day. Also, I want to add that Krystel's experience and expertise in wedding planning is invaluable - she knows what works and what doesn't, and will offer helpful suggestions and advice to help you have the best day ever. Any bride would be lucky to have her on their team!

Fantastic experience: Deciding to have Krystel and Couture Events was the best decision I made while planning my wedding. With a guest list upwards of 400 people, I knew planning this wedding would be a big task. Couture Events provided a very enjoyable year of wedding planning. With so many decisions to make, having Krystel and her team do the leg work and bring to me the best choices for my taste and personality, made making each decision that much easier. And the result was a fairytale wedding, even more beautiful than I could have imagined. The day of went so smoothly and I felt so taken care of. I was relaxed and really able enjoy the day. I knew Krystel and her team were there to take care of any problems that may occur and help with any possible thing. In fact, my cake toppled over on the delivery truck, and when Krystel received it, not only did she fix it and cover the damage but I didn't even know that it had happened until the next day when my sister told me. The one snafu during my wedding and I didn't even know about it!! That is the kind of person you want planning your wedding. The kind who finds no request too outrageous, no task too big to handle and no problem too big to fix...all without breaking a sweat. So many of my guests even commented on how wonderful the girls were that were "helping me" during the wedding. I could not be happier with Couture Events and the beautiful wedding they created with me. I would recommend Couture Events to anyone.

Fantastic experience: We just celebrated our daughter's beach wedding at La Jolla Shores and Krystel and her staff were phenomenal. I would highly recommend Krystel to anyone seeking event planning. Krystel's team of vendors and business connections were excellent and this circle of contacts is key to her stellar service and execution. Her advice and counsel through out the event planning period was top notch. Whether it was to invest in areas that we did not think of (which added to the event) or to save us money and focus in areas that were not critical. The day of support was excellent, We had a team of staff that were everywhere, making sure vendors were coordinated, supervising activities or simply stopping by for a hug and to make sure we were OK and if we needed anything. If there were problems we were not aware of them, as they took care of it. As my daughter said afterward, "the wedding looked like something out of a magazine", the tables, cake, flowers, music and venue were perfect. Thank you Couture Events!

Fantastic experience: I’ll start by saying that f you are reading this review you should stop right now. You have already found everything you could possibly need in a wedding coordinator with the Couture team! I can’t say enough positive things about Krystel and her amazing team. I was a wedding coordinator’s nightmare.... I was studying to take the California State Bar two weeks before our wedding and I had no vision of what I wanted my wedding to look like. Krystel took the project head on! She made dream boards so that I could figure out what I liked and didn’t like and also accompanied me to all vendor meetings. I honestly didn’t think she could get any better by the day of our wedding, and then she did! She dealt with all vendors, deliveries, and last minute problems that came up. She did all of this while continuously coming into the bridal room to make sure I was ok and reassuring me that everything looked fabulous. The night of our wedding Krystel’s team made sure all of our presents, decorations, and top of the cake were put away in our hotel room. I didn’t realize until the day after our wedding that I went the whole day without checking on anything! I honestly had full confidence that Krystel’s team had everything under control. I feel so strongly about Couture’s services that when I was sitting in a coffee shop I overheard a coordinator talking to a potential new client and it took everything out of me to not run after the couple and tell them they were making a mistake going with anyone but Couture. As if all this is not enough, Krystel is also one of the sweetest most passionate people that I have ever met. Make your life easier, call Couture!

Fantastic experience: As a bride that new everything she didn't want, Danielle was amazing at guiding and directing me to a creative solution so that a vision became a reality. Danielle is very professional and responsive. Danielle is very friendly, enthusiastic and is extremely flexible and and always makes herself available. My schedule was a nightmare and she was willing to accomodate us with a smile every time. I had asked for a variety of quotes from different wedding planners and Couture Events was the most reasonable in terms of services rendered. The experience was amazing and I couldn't have asked for a better wedding coordinator. Always prompt with creative solutions and professional in every way, Danielle was perfect. I did my own research with vendors, but in the end, I found that Couture Events had a perfectly well thought out list of preferred vendors and I ended up selecting from their list every time. Couture Events is a team of superstars and their level of professionalism carries through to their extended list of vendors. Thank you for all of your hard work! Our wedding was a dream come true.

Fantastic experience: Couture Events gets 5 stars for their excellent service!!! This is the bride speaking and I can honestly say that everything about our wedding day turned out to be better than I ever could have imagined! I was so confident in our planner, Danielle, that I didn't even have to worry about the details. Plus, the whole planning process itself was a pleasure. We got the "full package" which was the best investment! All we had to do was answer a few questions and Danielle narrowed down all the vendors (venue, florist, cake, officiant, etc.) to those that matched our style and price point. We even received a couple discounts from vendors because they had worked with Couture Events in the past. Danielle met with us whenever we asked and helped us stay on schedule and within our budget. On the day of the wedding, Danielle and her interns did it ALL! Things I probably don't even know because I was so busy enjoying getting ready with my bridesmaids. It was the most fun and happiest day of my life and thanks to Couture Events it was also the most beautiful.

Fantastic experience: My experience with Krystel and the Couture Events team started on December 31st, 2012. We met with Krystel after a brief e-mail correspondence,and after going over their different packages we opted for Full Coordination. Which I tell everyone, next to saying “yes” to my husband’s proposal, hiring Krystel was the best decision I’ve ever made. I was completely lost when it came to weddings, my mom court housed it, my older sister isn’t married, and my future mother-in-law was busy planning my future sister-in-law’s wedding. So I was all on my own, I didn’t even know what an escort card was! Luckily, we had Krystel, she guided us every step of the way. She made everything so easy and fun! My fiancé and I actually ENJOYED planning our wedding, we got so many compliments on how calm and stress free we seemed to be. Why wouldn’t we be? We knew we were in good hands! Krystel really helped make our wedding OUR wedding, she is so detail oriented and it really showed! Somehow she made our Native American, Music, Winter themed wedding work, and look FABULOUS! The number one compliment we got on our wedding was how beautiful everything was and that was all thanks to Krystel and her preferred vendors! Not only is Krystel the best, she knows the best, and created us an AMAZING wedding team. On December 13th, 2013 The day of our wedding, where most brides are a mess, I was completely calm, the photographer actually commented on what a calm, smiley and happy bride I was! That was absolutely all thanks to Krystel and the Couture Events team, I knew whatever happened, they could handle it, and they did! After the ceremony, during pictures, a groomsmen stepped on my bustle and broke it, so during cocktail hour Krystel came to the Bridal suite and actually sewed my bustle back on! She was such a lifesaver during the whole process, and if she wasn’t available, Karina was right there to help. I never felt like I was on my own, I always had support. Our wedding would not have been the beautiful, amazing and perfect day it was without Krystel and her team! I could go on forever, but just trust me, Couture Events is THE best! Thank you Krystel!!!

Fantastic experience: The day of my daughter's wedding was like a fairy tale come to life. She married the love of her life in a spectacular setting on a beautiful day. The venue required every item to be brought in and to be taken out. Because of this, the details were of utmost importance. In implementing the plan that had been put in place by months of hard work on the part of the bride, Krystel and her team helped everything come together and go smoothly from beginning to end, starting a couple of weeks before the actual wedding. The team is not only efficient, but also respectful, thoughtful, flexible, creative in their thinking, responsive and they each anticipated possible problem situations that they then helped solve. It was a perfect day, filled with the most wonderful memories, and this is in no small part due to Couture Events and Krystel. Thank you for making my daughter's dream wedding come to life. It was a magical day and we will cherish it and be appreciative of your help as we remember!

Fantastic experience: Couture Events is amazing. Krystel, Danielle, Karina and their entire team helped make my wedding weekend so incredibly special. I was a very hands on bride and I took on many DIY projects throughout my entire wedding planning process. As my day approached I was getting overwhelmed and the moment we hired Couture Events for "day-of" coordination, they immediately helped me feel supported and comfortable. Krystel took care of countless details for us in the last few weeks leading up to my wedding. She had a solution for literally every single question my mom and I could possibly come up with. Danielle stepped in to help us at our rehearsal and she was awesome! She was very well-prepared, so helpful, nice and very calm! She and Krystel had such good communication with each other so that if one of them was not there, they both still knew exactly what was going on. They also were very communicative with me and my mom to make sure we always knew everything that we needed to know and to keep us updated as things got done! , On my wedding day, Krystel, Karina and their team far exceeded my expectations. They were a huge part in making my wedding day perfect and I am so thankful for everything they did! If I needed or wanted anything, they were there ready and happy to help with a huge smile on their faces. No request was too much for them and they were so genuinely happy to help me. They made me feel so important and special and I am so truly grateful for their support, help and love on my wedding day!!

Fantastic experience: We hired Couture Events for our daughter’s wedding in Rancho Santa Fe and can honestly say it was the best decisions we made throughout the wedding planning process. Since we live on the East coast and our daughter, and now husband, lives on the West coast, it became evident very early on we would need assistance. Our daughter discovered Krystel after falling in love with images from other wedding she did while researching wedding planners on the internet. She was so excited to find that she was in San Diego and after meeting her, knew we had to hire her immediately. From our daughter’s very first meeting and throughout the year long process of planning the wedding, Krystel was there every step of the way, keeping us all on track and making sure all of the big decisions were made early on. She always made me feel a part of the process even though I lived thousands of miles away. She is a wealth of knowledge, has tremendous resources in the industry for vendor referrals, is instrumental in negotiating favorable prices and offers tips and advice to help make the wedding of your dreams. She makes each bride feel special and like their wedding is the only one she is coordinating. She is very organized, always available for you, and remembers every last detail so you can just enjoy the experience. The day of the wedding is the icing on the cake! Krystel and her team attend to everything. The bride, groom and their families are able to enjoy the entire day stress free as they take care of every detail until the very end of the evening. We still have people telling us the wedding was amazing, magical, a fairytale, and the best wedding they ever attended. Make your wedding effortless and perfect like ours! Hire, Krystel and Couture Events to coordinate your wedding or special occasion.

Fantastic experience: Hiring Couture Events was the single best decision that we made about our wedding. When my husband and I got engaged, we knew that we needed someone who would help us from the very beginning stages of planning. I am a medical student and was living abroad when we started planning. Most people thought I was crazy for planning a wedding while in school (and from afar!), but Krystel and her fabulous team made it easy! Ken and I had a smaller budget than a lot of couples. When we called different coordinators, they laughed and said that we wouldn't be able to have a decent wedding with that budget. We were discouraged, but when we met with Krystel, she smiled and said we could definitely do it, and it would be beautiful! She was so right! From beginning to end, planning our wedding with Krystel and her team was a joy- they made all of it so easy, fought to keep us under our budget (what a blessing!), were honest and always so helpful. Krystel's knowledge about the industry is vast, she quickly responds to all communication, and she has an incredible memory! Last but not least, Krystel's taste is impeccable. Our wedding was stunning! People were coming up to me all night and telling me that our wedding was the most beautiful they had been to. When we talk about what an amazing decision hiring Couture Events was, my husband always smiles at me and says "you only get married once." It's so true! If you want your special day to be the most memorable day of your life, minimize as much stress as possible, and enjoy the wedding planning process, hire them! It will be the best decision you make. We are so thankful that we hired Couture Events for our special day.

Fantastic experience: Hey I am new here on Google welcome to all.

Fantastic experience: Amazing, talented, helpful, friendly, kind, sweet. These are just a few words that come to mind when i think of Krystel from Couture Events. I got married on August 26th 2012, and none of what i dreamed of would have come true if it wasn't for Krystel. She was always available for me when i needed her and always had everything under control. I first met Krystel when i moved back to san diego from college to see if she had any job openings in her amazing business. I walked into her office and it was "love" at first site. Her impeccable taste, and talent with decor comes out with you walk into her chic office space. She got up and hugged me hello and i told her why I was there and if i could drop off my resume! She was super sweet and said she didn't have any openings but she would keep my resume just in case. A few months later i got engaged and she was the ONLY person i knew i wanted. There was no shopping around for a planner. She was who I wanted. My wedding was not an easy wedding to put together. It was a big wedding at the Hotel Del Coronado, with a lot of guests and a lot of people to please. Anytime i would get nervous about something i would just text her or call her and she would either pick up or call back within the day, or text back immediately. She would always respond to me and would always ease my worries. She never forgot anything and was amazingly organized. When contemplating a wedding planner look no further! Krystel is easily the best wedding planner i have ever had the pleasure of working with. I have worked with many before for charities and other events. I Her and her team were completely on point when it came to game day and they were all dressed in my wedding colors which was a bonus!!! They guarded us during the reception so that we could eat when we needed to and kept everything running smoothly from start to finish. There are people who came up to me that said that this was the most amazing wedding they have ever been to, and to be honest i did plan the wedding but Krystel made it come to life and made it actually happen. I honestly came out of the whole experience feeling like I have another friend swell. She is just so warm and kind you really feel like you are planning your wedding with you sister! Also she is amazing at getting great deals and working with vendors to stay in your budget. I will never forget what she did for me by helping me plan my wedding.

Fantastic experience: We hired Couture Events for our wedding in Rancho Santa Fe and can honestly say that it was one of the best decisions that we made throughout the wedding planning process. Krystel and her team go above and beyond to ensure that your day goes flawlessly from coordinating and negotiating with the vendors to the small design details that only years of experience and great taste can yield. The team really takes into account the overall vision of what the couple has in mind but also offers advice and tips to make the wedding truly memorable. Our guests were even commenting on how great Krystel and her team were on the day of! Couture Events if by far one of the best Wedding Coordination studios in Southern California and I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I recently got married on June 16, 2012 in San Diego, CA. As soon as my husband first proposed to me back in May of 2011, we knew we wanted to get married at the Immaculata Parish at the University of San Diego because the church itself had stolen our hearts when we attended a mass there in March of 2011. However, both of us being from the Los Angeles area, we both felt like we would need a wedding coordinator to help us with the wedding planning since we did not live in the San Diego area. Luckily, my now husband found Krystel and Couture Events with some Google searching. After some discussion, we decided to contact Krystel to set up a meeting. From the very first time that we met Krystel, her enthusiasm for weddings and organization skills were on display, and me and my now husband had a good feeling about her. Boy was it the best decision we ever made!!! Krystel was able to get a good sense for what we were looking for and who we were as a couple. We had given her a list of 5 venues that we were interested in doing our reception at, so Krystel set up a day for us to visit the 5 venues that we requested. In between 2 of the site visits, Krystel mentioned that there was a place we might be interested in based on the venues we had already visited and were impressed with. That’s when Krystel took us to the rooftop of the Andaz Hotel in Downtown San Diego. Just like the feeling we got about the Immaculata Parish, we got the same feeling when we visited the rooftop of Andaz Hotel. As it turned out, this was the first of many great recommendations Krystel had given us from vendors to advice on items that were not a necessity so that we could save some money. Even as the days to the wedding grew near, and the day of the wedding was upon us, Krystel was cool, calm, and positive as she was on top of all of our concerns even when we thought we were running in to major problems. As it turned out, she was able to resolve any issue put in front of her or provide a nice alternative even on short notice. In the end, our wedding day turned out to be AMAZE BALLS!!! The day was magical, and our guests kept complimenting us on how amazing everything was including using the terms “best wedding they’ve ever been to” and “wedding of the year”!!! If there is one piece of advice we could give to newly engaged couples looking to hire a wedding coordinator, it would be to hire Krystel Tien and Couture Events. You won’t be disappointed!!!
