100/10 rating!!!! I cannot recommend Kismet Event Co enough!! I literally am so sad my wedding is over because that means no more wedding planning calls lol! I initially found Kismet through our approved vendor list from our venue. I reached out to a few of the wedding planners and Kelly from Kismet was the first to respond. The initial information she sent was concise, clear, and let me know right away the different service levels and the associated costs. We hopped on a quick introduction call and I was sold! From our first call, Kelly made me feel like I was going to be in the best hands for all of my wedding planning needs. Their extensive background in hospitality and planning made me feel at ease - I didn't take any other calls and hired Kismet right away. This was simply one of the best decisions of my whole wedding because my husband and I were beyond impressed with the Kismet team during months of planning, but more importantly on our wedding day. We had zero worries on the day thank you to the Kismet team who was working so hard to make everything perfect. If they had any issues behind the scenes, we had no idea!! :) We got so much amazing feedback from our guests of our beautiful and perfect the day was, and a very large part of that was all of the hard work from Kelly and team. It's worth noting that I am VERY type A and cared very much about all of the small details. I had 1000% trust in the Kismet team to make my vision come to life and they did that and more. I am so thankful to them because I was able to truly be present on the day and not worry about anything but enjoying every moment. Thank you so much, Kelly and the Kismet team. -

Kelly absolutely killed it and thanks to her we had the wedding weekend of our dreams. She struck the right balance between being friendly and assertive throughout the process, and willingly picked up all the loose ends without asking questions. She had to deal with a few audibles the day of the wedding, and handled it all behind the scenes allowing my wife and I to soak in the day without stress. Highly recommend working with Kelly and co. -

Exceptional Wedding Planning Experience in Healdsburg, CA with Rosie Monson!
We recently had the pleasure of working with Rosie Monson from Honey and Vine Events to plan our daughter's wedding in Healdsburg, CA, and I couldn't be happier with the incredible job she did. Rosie's exceptional skills, attention to detail, and genuine dedication made the entire wedding planning process a breeze.
Rosie's organization and efficiency were truly outstanding. She expertly managed timelines, budgets, and vendor coordination, allowing us to relax and enjoy the planning journey and most importantly the event. Her professionalism and responsiveness were impressive, she promptly addressed any concerns or questions we had along the way. It was evident that Rosie genuinely cared about creating a memorable and stress-free experience for us.
I cannot recommend Rosie Monson and Honey and Vine Events highly enough. If you're searching for a wedding planner who is efficient, creative, and an absolute pleasure to work with, Rosie is the one.!

Stellar Wedding Planner!
Rosie is the best and was absolutely essential in making our wedding a roaring success! Right from the start, she helped us get organized and on track for the many months of planning ahead. She reviewed every contract and coordinated with every vendor to make sure everyone was on board and ready far before our event. She thought of every detail and made sure all plans were in place so that we could give her the reins and just enjoy our event! And WOW did she pull it off in spectacular fashion! I had heard from all my friends that there would be some minor or major disasters at any big event, but she actually did so well that I can't complain about even one part of our wedding! It was the wedding of our dreams, and I credit Rosie with making it all happen seamlessly on the day of. She was so supportive, thorough, organized, and truly the most responsive person I've ever worked with. I felt totally confident in her every step of the way. In short, we are so lucky to have had Rosie on our side, and I would recommend her in a heartbeat! -

Step 1: Hire Rosie!
We hired Rosie for our daughter’s Sonoma County wedding. Rosie is a fabulous wedding planner and a wonderful partner for such a personal event. She was always positive and jumped in to help, even in areas that weren’t necessarily her responsibility. Rosie was a perfect mix of providing great ideas and suggestions on areas where we were less knowledgeable, while also deferring to us on anything we felt particularly strongly about. Our wedding had inherent complicated logistics that involved 3 days of events, shuttle buses and establishing a wedding venue out in the field on our property. We hosted a similar event on the east coast when we lived there for our older daughter and the comparison of how easy and helpful Rosie was were startling. Rosie was always positive and worked with whatever request we had. Also, Rosie not only has a great list of wedding vendors, but she also has great working relationships with these vendors which helped us so much as customers. Rosie is the best! -

My now husband and I interviewed about 10 different wedding planners. Rosie was the last one that we spoke to because after speaking with her, we new that she was the right wedding planner for us. She made the whole process so easy! She was professional, responded quickly to my many emails/texts and gave me a ton of recommendations. We got married on a private vineyard that had never had a big event before. Rosie took care of creating the layout for the day and figuring out the flow of the wedding. Throughout the whole process, anytime I was feeling stressed about something related to planning our wedding she would always reassure me and/or find a solution to whatever was causing the issue. She took care of so many of the little details that I wouldn't have even thought of and she did a wonderful job coordinating all of our vendors. You cannot go wrong by hiring Rosie to be your wedding planner. I will encourage all of my friends to use her because she made our wedding day more perfect that I ever could have imagined. The whole day was stress-free thanks to her. -

Coco H. Sent on 06/23/2022Rosie is the GOAT!!!
The short version:
Rosie is the most phenomenal planner and person to work with, and you absolutely need to hire her for your wedding!
The long version:
When we were first planning our wedding, my (then) fiancée and parents didn’t think a wedding planner was necessary because our venue came with a venue coordinator. Luckily, I convinced them that a wedding planner was a must. Fast forward to after the wedding: my (now) husband and parents said that Rosie was the best decision we made while planning our wedding!
I don’t know where to even begin with Rosie! I guess I’ll start by saying she is proactive and organized when it comes to wedding planning, and I have very high standards when it comes to organization (#virgo.) She orchestrated the most magical evening by skillfully managing our vendors and creating a flawless timeline. Because of Rosie, our wedding night went without a hitch.
Throughout the entire planning process and our wedding night, we could feel that she truly cares for her couples. When we had a vendor cancel at the last minute, Rosie swiftly came to the rescue. During the wedding day, she constantly made sure that we were enjoying ourselves. I’ll give a couple of examples:
1. Rosie had two glasses of champagne in hand right after the ceremony ended, which she gave to us and led us to a quiet space to enjoy ourselves right after getting married.
2. While we were taking photos after the ceremony, Rosie put together a tray of hors d'oeuvres for my husband and I, and made sure we ate in a private area right after photos were done. This was so clutch because we ended up never making it to our own cocktail hour because of socializing and photos. Rosie gave us the opportunity to try our own hors d'oeuvres!
3. When my husband was getting overwhelmed from taking so many photos (lol), Rosie noticed and informed our photographer that we wanted to take a break.
There are just a couple of seemingly little things that Rosie did for us that made such a huge impact on us because it really demonstrated that she was looking out for our best interests. Everything she did was with such grace and care, all while getting s*%& done.
We cannot praise and recommend Rosie enough!! I honestly want to throw another event just so I have the opportunity to work with Rosie again.
I’ll end this review with one anecdote: we have a groomsman who has been in a couple of wedding parties and he told us right before the wedding, “Wedding planners scare me.” The same groomsman came up to us after the wedding and said, “Wow, your wedding planner was amazing.”

Our wedding was the best weekend, and it would not have been possible without Rosie's expert guidance and attention to detail. Thank you so much!
Rosie advised on many aspects we would have never thought of -- seating arrangement, procession order, and the day's flow. The table arrangements, vendor coordination, and ceremony were all seamless. We especially appreciate the small touches of support -- the parking signs, parasols (which thankfully we didn't need), John's bowtie, my cozy blanket, the mead flutes right after the ceremony, your keeping us on track, and the extra prayer that kept the rain at bay.
All of our guests felt so well taken care of, and they had a blast. We think the catering staff felt supported and appreciated as well. Rosie made us guests at our own wedding. -

Incredible! We can’t think of enough wonderful things to say about Rosie! She truly was a gift, professional, creative, organized, and above all a solid human! Working with her was the best choice we made while planning our wedding. Because of her we were able to be apart of our wedding! We can’t rave enough about her and her services! -

Would rate Rosie 10 stars if I could!
Booking Rosie as our wedding planner was easily one of the best decisions we made for our Sonoma vineyard wedding! My husband and I have nothing but amazing things to say about our experience working with Rosie and our wedding would not have been such a success without her hard work and dedication! From the very first call, we knew Rosie would be the right planner for us - her kind, knowledgeable and calm nature was exactly what we knew would be important during the stressful wedding planning process. Due to Covid, we had to postpone our wedding date twice and having Rosie there to help us navigate this stressful time was such a blessing. Rosie and her assistant ensured our wedding day went even better than we could have imagined and everything flowed so smoothly due to her care and thoughtfulness. We truly had the best wedding day and we cannot thank her enough! We would 1000% recommend Rosie to anyone looking for a wedding planner! -

Hiring Kelly at Kismet as a “month-of” planner was the best decision we made for our wedding. We had her come in pretty last minute because we wanted to do all of the planning but needed someone to bring all the details together and make our wedding feel special and thoughtful for all our guests. Wow, I just didn’t know I needed her so badly. Right away, she got in touch with all our vendors and looked through all our contracts to make sure we weren’t missing anything. Sure enough, she caught some things we’d missed altogether in our rental order. And we loved the playbook timeline that brought all the details together in one place and made it feel like a real production. Her knowing other people in the wedding world made it even more helpful. Kelly was professional, friendly, easy to work with, and FUN! -

I cannot speak Rosie's praises enough! I truly cannot imagine what our wedding day would have been like without Rosie & team helping plan such a perfect day. She is professional, experienced, reliable, and an absolute pleasure to work with. She was clear about pricing and expectations, and made suggestions that made the day go on without a hitch. She spent countless nights on the phone with everyone from my mom to grandma helping us plan for a wedding weekend filled with activities for out of town guests and family.
