The BEST Napa Valley Planner!
Sonia is the BEST!! My now husband and I could not be happier with working with Sonia from start to finish. Her attention to detail, prompt responsiveness and kind personality made it an absolute joy to work together. She always thought of small (but important) details I never would have thought about it she hadn’t brought it up. She even made our dinner menus for us and picked them up from the print shop. Our wedding was PERFECT all thanks to Sonia! Couldn’t recommend more! -

Sonia guided us flawlessly through the process of bringing our wedding together and executing the big day. We had a large wedding (170 people) at a private venue that had not previously hosted weddings so there was a lot to do and Sonia helped us build our dream wedding from the ground up! We hired the Under the Vine team for the "month of coordination" package. Sonia gave us recommendations even before she officially came on board full time, and then was completely involved 45 days before the wedding. I could tell she wanted us to have OUR perfect wedding, and let us lead the way, never trying to push us into anything we didn't want. She was always focusing us our goals and pointing out any details we missed. She is so easy to talk to and I really trusted her judgement. She coordinated all final details-timing, contracts etc- with the vendors, especially working extensively with catering and rentals as our facility required bringing in everything we needed. She built a timeline that played out the entire day, and several diagrams mapping out our set up across the property and communicated that with everyone who needed to know.
On the day of, everything was amazing. I have attached the thank you email I sent to Sonia immediately after with my reflections on how the day went to share how truly amazing she is. I highly recommend working with Under the Vine!!
“Dear Sonia,
We cannot thank you enough for everything you did for us for the wedding. It was truly the most magical day! We are so grateful and humbled by the love we felt from everyone. I still can’t believe it was real and just feel so much joy and happiness every time I think about it. Having you to guide us through the day and make us feel supported and on track through this emotional day was priceless. I cannot imagine having had anyone else be a part of our amazing day like that.
The day was literally perfect- there is not a single thing we would change. So many of our guests have told us it was one of the most organized and fun weddings they have ever been to. Much of that is thanks to you!
Everything was so beautiful, I loved how you brought our decorations from space to space so the party always felt full and beautiful.
Some of my favorite memories are you pulling us into the dinner barn to see it all decorated before we sat down. I also loved getting to dance Caballo Dorado with you!!! And, I will be forever grateful for you bringing me what I later learned was the last pizza on the property to eat after dancing! I have seriously never enjoyed a pizza so much. I also loved getting to meet your husband- it was so cool that you two work together and that he was there too.
Seriously you are both so wonderful and we appreciate you so so much!! Thank you for guiding us through this process and helping us have probably the best party of our life! “

We had a great experience with Sonia. She was extremely helpful and responsive with our May 2023 wedding. The weather in Napa was not looking promising for our all outdoor wedding, so naturally we were extremely nervous and stressed out. Sonia was able to calm our nerves and hold our hand through the extremely stressful wedding-planning process. She had some great ideas for how to elevate our wedding, and she was wonderful with finalizing all the details with our vendors. We couldn't recommend Sonia and the UTVE team enough! -

Leandra V. Sent on 07/25/2022Best Wedding Coordinator in Napa!!!
Sonia is hands down the best wedding coordinator we could have possible chosen for our day. She went above and beyond to make sure every single detail was taken care of. Our day was flawless and I know that was due to all of her organizing. Throughout the planning process, she knew what questions to ask before we did. She kept extremely detailed notes and was always a phone call away if I was concerned about something. I seriously cannot thank you enough for the most perfect day, Sonia!! -

We hired Sonia as we were planning a wedding from across the country! She went above and beyond in every way and took any stress I had about details off my shoulders. Her communication with us and the other vendors was wonderful!! -

As a second time MOB, I had lots of ideas and needed help with the organization and execution of a 180 guest, church & reception venues, COVID-timed wedding. Sonia stepped up to the challenge and helped to create a day that was "more beautiful than I imagined", a quote from the Bride. Some of her best qualities were keeping me on task, respectfully communicating with vendors, and maintaining a presence that was reassuring, thoughtful and low profile...that is, she was always at work on our project, while respecting my wish to stay in control. All of our detail work resulted in a day that was most magical. Thank you, Sonia. -

Sonia was truly exceptional, and with us every step of the way before, during, and after the wedding. She was very responsive both via phone, text, email, and in person, and made every effort to make our vision come to light. In addition to being fabulous at her job, she is a kind, positive, and genuine person and a joy to work with (not to mention went above and beyond when an unfortunate plumbing situation arose at the venue during the reception...which we never even knew about until after the fact!). Would highly recommend!! -

Highly Recommend Sonia!
Hiring Sonia was the best decision we made in planning our wedding! My husband and I got engaged in September of 2021 and got married in January 2022, a short four months later. We hired Sonia for the Partial Wedding Planning package and were extremely pleased with her work.
Sonia is very organized and thoroughly prepared with everything that goes into planning a wedding. She had checklists and timelines at hand to keep everything on track which took much of the pressure off. Sonia has a kind and calm demeanor while still being persistent in “checking things off the list” which was the perfect balance for me!
She was accommodating with my schedule even though I was working full-time. She was professional yet also felt like a good friend that I could be open with in sharing ideas. She also had some awesome suggestions which showed that she really knew what she was doing and had a great eye for décor, theme, and overall timeline flow. She coordinated with all my other vendors until our wedding day and balanced checking in and relaying questions without overwhelming me.
On the wedding day everything worked flawlessly. I can honestly say that I was able to enjoy my wedding because I had full confidence that Sonia would handle every detail and would take care of anything unexpected. Everything flowed smoothly, exactly as intended, showing her great attention to detail and her character in truly going above and beyond to make our wedding day beautiful. I would highly recommend anyone who needs a wedding planner to hire Sonia!

Great experience working with Sonia!
Sonia helped with our month-of planning for our wedding in Napa and was very generous with her time (especially since we had to reschedule our wedding twice due to the pandemic!). She was easy to work with and organized. I especially appreciated that she offered great advice and had a point of view without being pushy. I always looked forward to meeting with her and it was wonderful to have her with us on the wedding day! -

Sonia was wonderful to work with
I was hesitant about hiring a wedding coordinator for my small destination wedding, but I am SO happy I did! Sonia was professional, organized and personable. Not only did she provide invaluable support in planning the wedding (keeping in contact and coordinating with all my vendors, building a detailed schedule to share with me and all the vendors, providing advice, and finalizing details), but I also had multiple people come up to me on the wedding day complimenting on how helpful and friendly she was.
She asked permission to take some pictures the day of and I am so glad I said yes because they turned out beautiful. If anyone is debating if they want to hire a wedding coordinator, I definitely recommend it and highly recommend Sonia! -

Absolutely Amazing!!
This is an extremely overdue review. I would 1000% recommend Under the Vine Events to help coordinate a wedding or any other event. Sonia is absolutely amazing in every way.
We hired Sonia as a day of coordinator for our wedding on October 10, 2020. Our wedding plans had to be completely altered due to Covid. We originally planned for a 150 guest wedding at a venue that had to be changed to a 40 guest wedding on a private property in Napa. The whole event was executed seamlessly, and that would not have been able to happen without having Under the Vine Events. Sonia handled a very stressful situation with ease and had great connections with vendors. Our wedding was actually more beautiful and special than we could have ever imagined.
Sonia was there for us every step of the way and is extremely organized. She help with all vendor contact the month before the wedding, had a detailed Google doc with all of the day-of information, helped with creating a rental list, and always there for my thousands of questions.
I would not hesitate to reach out to Sonia. She is a great person and an amazing coordinator. She is so easy to talk to and is very calming during such an exciting time. I was actually sad when my wedding was over because I wouldn’t be talking to her on a regular basis. Thank you again Sonia for all of your help making my wedding dreams come true! -

Sonia came highly recommended from a trusted planner in the Napa region and she did not disappoint. We hired her for month of services and our only regret was we should have found her sooner! We were originally hosting our small wedding at a private residence and when it fell through a month before our wedding Sonia was always calm, positive and jumped in head first to find us a new venue. Day of she again brought her positive energy (something that was very important to my husband and I), ensured the details were taken care while doing so with professionalism and a smile. We highly recommend Sonia! -

Colleen Sent on 09/17/2019Thank you so much!!
When you work with someone for nine months, you can’t help but develop a special connection with the person. :) Words cannot express my gratitude for Sonia. She is professional, organized, friendly, and extremely helpful right from the start. When I had a million questions and requests, she was patient and quick to respond. I even had some slight freak-outs throughout the process (mostly as the big day was getting closer), but she was there to listen and help calm me down. I truly felt confident that everything would come together nicely and that everything would run smoothly. We were in great hands, and our wedding turned out to be absolutely perfect and we enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you, Sonia, for being there from start to finish, and for everything you did to make sure that we had the best night of our lives!
