Carra's reviews

Before meeting Robbin, we had met and interviewed 2 other planners. We are both full time working professionals and knew we needed help in planning this event. We met Robbin in February, 1995 and asked for her help with our June, 1995 wedding - yes 4 months away. As soon as we met and talked with her - we knew she was the one that we needed.

Robbin was fabulous, especially when the light rain started immediately after our vows. She coordinated having everything moved inside Paradise Ridge Winery and we were not even aware of the amount of effort as it was handled so smoothly.

Our wedding was wonderful due to her guidance and suggestions for other vendors - how to handle it when our solid engraved glass cake topper was too heavy to be placed on the top layer by having fresh flowers decorate the top layer and our glass topper and candles decorating the table; how to corral the children downstairs with entertainment from a clown and face painter; being certain everyone was outside but under cover when the skywriter came so all could see him pulling the I LOVE YOU banner and as he "drew" halos around Paradise Ridge; being certain the bagpipe player was in the correct spot to greet our guests and that the band was comfortable setting up inside the winery instead of out on the patio as originally planned.

One of the most important things Robbin said to us was that at various times during the evening, we should just stop what we are doing and look around in order to absorb all the activities - see our guests enjoying themselves, the gorgeous setting. The evening will go be so fast that we will need to just stop and view it all as a way to implant the memories - joint memories. To this day, we talk about her advice and how important it was - just stop and look around.

Two final comments - while many times a wedding is viewed as a "bride" event, Robbin sought my husband's input, ideas and desires for every aspect of our wedding. I appreciated that she acknowledged and wanted his opinions and ideas. As this was not my or his first wedding, it was going to be our last one so it needed to be exactly what we both wanted.

Lastly - as we were being driven to SF for the beginning of our honeymoon - Robbin was forward thinking enough to have a basket of some of our wedding feast packed for us. We were absolutely starving as we did not each much at our wedding - too busy talking with our guests and pausing to absorb the wonderful evening.

Our wedding was 15 years ago and to this day we remember all the wonderful things about the planning and the day itself - all due to Robbin's help, guidance, suggestions and overall involvement in our special day and event. We would recommend her to anyone and everyone..........
