~~vision~~

If you have a ~~vision~~ you want to execute to a *chefs kiss*, Harlene is the planner for you.

Initially, we picked Harlene because she mentioned in passing an important caveat at another venue we were considering, a detail that no other planners we interviewed mentioned. After touring us through 10 other venues, We ended up going with a venue that she has worked extensively with. She knew exactly what we were looking for, and we are so happy with her recommendation.

She has an amazing sense of style and not only found us the perfect vendors that fit our vision but also helped us make important design decisions as we experimented with our own wedding branding and stationery. All of this tied in cohesively with her design deck that she created just for us.

We had a lot of moving elements on wedding day, and in addition to the normal vendors (rentals, florist, DJ, catering, HMU, photographer) we also had 3 separate fabricator/DIY teams installing at the venue, along with a truckload of personal decor. She took on the challenge and executed it to perfection.

She was worth every penny and much, much more!

Highly recommend if you want a beautiful worry free wedding!

Multiple guests have told us that our ~75 guest Napa wedding was one of the most beautiful and smoothly executed events they’d been to, and the credit goes all to Harlene. We hired Harlene for partial planning 6 months before our wedding and all we had at the time was a photographer, videographer and a venue. She immediately provided planning resources and recommendations, and made herself available whenever we reached out for advice. Harlene referred us to vendors (florals, DJ, HMU, cake, & transportation), all of whom were exceptional, suited us, and were within our budget. She helped us plan both a cultural wedding and a relatively lower budget wedding in Napa, accommodating our ideas and preferences while providing decisive guidance whenever asked. Her eye for aesthetics and design is incredible, her professionalism and experience is beyond question, and her presence on the actual wedding day allowed us to enjoy our day without stress or worry. We are so grateful we hired her as our wedding planner and day-of-coordinator-- highly recommend her if you want a beautiful and smooth worry free wedding.
