A Touch of Elegance

I used Blanca with A Touch of Elegance at my wedding on August 9, 2008. Our reception room looked fabulous with our ivory chair covers and 2 different colored sashes!

Blanca was totally accomodating and very reasonably priced. She set up and took down later that same night. We didn't have to do a thing and didn't worry one bit about our chair covers.

A Touch of Elegance was definitely the cheapest price I could find, as well as the best quality! I can't believe Blanca doesn't charge more, but I think her reasonable prices will make her a top-leader in Bay Area chair cover rentals! Thank you, Blanca!

Blanca had to be the most stess free vendor I hired. Becaus I was a destionation wedding it was hard for me to find relyable vendors. I found Blanca on here and I will have to agree with everyone else who raves about her. She went to the hotel and double checked if the chair covers would fit with out me having to ask. I didnt get to see any of the linens befor the event but she cordnated them so well they looked flawless. Thank you very much Blanca!!

Good customer service. Thank you for being part of my wedding. Thanks again for your great job.

Blanca is a professional. All emails questions were always answered quickly.

I was searching high and low for chair covers at a reasonable price, and I'm so glad I went with Blanca. The only thing that stress me out was she told me the week before the wedding that chair covers didn't fit, but she was able to find another set lightning fast. They were still a little to short, but no one even noticed. Chair covers are covers, but without good quality sashes, it's means nothing, and mines were great!! Everthing was on time, and she had her crew take everything down at the end of the night, so I had no worries with her services.

Blanca is wonderful! I used her for my wedding on August 10th. I did a lot of research in looking for chair covers, and she was by far the best price around. Her company took care of set up and tear down, which was super convenient and the room looked fabulous with the chair covers and sashes. Plus, she's such a pleasure to work with, always replying promptly to emails. Definitely contact her!!

Blanca is the best! I use A Touch of Elegance's chair covers for most of the weddings that I plan. Not once did I have to worry about the delivery or quality. She made my job so much easier, and her price is unbeatable and quality is definitely top notch.

We used a touch of elegance seat covers and sashes for our engagement party. Blanca was very accommodating to our budget and very flexible/easy to work with. The seat covers and sashes were very high quality and there was a large selection to choose from. Blanca and her crew set everything up for us and took it all down as well, which made our event set up a lot easier. Overall, I highly recommend A touch of elegance--excellent quality, customer service, and great prices!

If you want chair covers or table linens for your wedding day, call Blanca!! She definitely has the best prices in the bay area and is very responsive! She was one of the first vendors I found when I started my wedding planning. Right after the contract was signed, she went to my venue and fitted the chairs to make sure her ivory covers fit. This was without me knowing! Good thing she did because they didn't fit! The chairs at the venue were a strange, larger size so Blanca called me up immediately to let me know the ivory covers she had didn't fit so she ordered the extra large covers. Both my husband and I were impressed from the start at Blanca's professionalism. And she's so nice on top of it!!! We ended up ordering colored cloth napkins through Blanca for our table settings. Everything looked wonderful! She was there to set up and there at the end to take everything down. We didn't have to do a thing! I highly recommend Blanca and A Touch of Elegance!

Book your chair covers with A Touch of Elegance immediately! Like other brides, I gave up on the chivari chairs after the sticker shock hit me and completely engrossed myself in researching every chair cover vendor I could find. I met with several chair cover vendors, viewed their styles, variety and color.

For the price she was asking, Blanca at A Touch of Elegance by far had the best quality for the price. Many of the other vendors had a cheap polyster, but Blanca's were fitted, tailored and made of a nice material. Plus, her prices included set up, delivery, take down, and steaming. Many of the vendors in that same price range wanted to ship it to me, steam them myself, set it up myself, then box it up and send it back after the reception. Believe me, it is worth the extra few cents a chair to get rid of that headache!

Blanca is very sweet, extremely responsive to email and a complete professional. She'll meet you at your venue to show you samples of her covers and sashes.

Pricing: $2.25 each chair (includes cover and sash, ironing, set up, take down, tax) + $40 delivery to San Francisco. No tax.

Colors: Ivory and white polyester (pleated and non-pleated skits), limited satin covers. Plethora of colors, shades and materials of sashes. She'll even order it for you, if she doesn't have the right color.

Blanca was great to work with. She always answered my calls or emails. The pricing for the chair covers and sashes were the lowest I found but the quality was great! I would definitely recommend her to any bride looking for a great deal with great presentation and service.

We just got married last Sunday. I found Blanca through an internet search along with a few other similar vendors in the area for our wedding chair covers. Blanca promptly replied with a quote. It turns out that she was one of the best vendors we have chosen for our wedding. We couldn't be any happier with her service.
She was very prompt, efficient, and flexible. Upon request, she gave us a selections of chair covers with sash in different colors and material for the food tasting to help us decide for the wedding.
On the wedding day, beautiful set up was done in a blink of eyes. Thanks for making our wedding so elegant, Blanca.

Blanca did a great job of quickly, unobtrusively, and very neatly setting up our wedding chair covers. She also took care of the tear down without a hitch!

Blanca was a pleasure to work with. She provided over 200 chair covers for my wedding in April. She was very responsive on email, efficient and friendly. Not only that, but her prices were the lowest I could find anywhere, particularly for a chair cover vendor that included delivery and pickup. I didn't have to worry at all!

What a lifesaver Blanca was! In the middle of my thousands of to-do lists for my 11.01.08 wedding I somehow forgot that I would need chair covers...A Touch of Elegance was recommended to me by someone on theknot.com who had used her chair covers for her wedding at the same venue as me. I e-mailed Blanca 3 weeks before my wedding, and it could not have been easier. She is extremely prompt in her replies, answered all my questions, sent me the contract ASAP...what a stress-free experience in the midst of the otherwise very stressful final weeks before the wedding. She took care of set-up and take-down without any hassle or problems (I didn't even see her, she was like a little elf!). The icing on the cake was the chair covers were lovely and she is extremely reasoanbly priced. I highly recommend Blanca and A Touch of Elegance.

We used A Touch of Elegance/Blanca for chair covers and wedding service. Blanca is professional, responsive and works hard. We could not have pulled this great event together without Blanca’s help.

My husband and I rented 130 chair covers from Blanca for our August 15th wedding. Chair covers might be one of those minor details that guests tend to overlook at a wedding, but that little detail was an important one for us as they really add that final touch to the perfect wedding reception.

We searched many companies to find a reasonable price for the chair covers as our venue was charging an arm and a leg for them. We were so happy when we finally found Blanca! Her price was exactly what we were looking for and the chair covers were great! I even heard the banquet manager at the venue say that her chair covers looked better than their own!

Blanca was wonderful and was probably the easiest vendor to work with. She was on top of everything, and we were very happy with the results!

Blanca was great! she did an amaizing job with the room. She is very responsive and flexible, even better, she has very affordable pricing. I got linens, chair covers, sashes, also she made sure the centerpieces, votives and cake stand were in place. Highly Recommend!

The chairs at my wedding reception were awful! They were stained and didn't match the room decor at all. Then I remembered that Blanca was in the business of doing chair covers. I immediately called and asked if she was available for that day. Thank God she was because the room looked soooo much better after the covers and sashes were added! I think it made all the difference in making our little reception (50 guests) stand apart from just a family dinner. Some of my family members thought I was going a little over board getting chair covers for such a small reception, but once they saw how beautiful everything turned out, I was able to say "I told you so!"

A Touch of Elegance is definitely one of the upcoming companies where you will have to book a year in advance to get their wonderful services! Blanca does a fabulous job and her attention to details is so respectable and makes such a difference at ANY event. Her price is SO very competetive and her products are so high quality, it's worth every penny! Blanca is professional, sweet, flexible and lovely to work with. You will be satisfied with A Touch of Elegance!

I would totally recommend a touch of Elegance for your wedding needs. I am Blanca's sister-in-law and I have helped her set up chair covers and believe me when I say you are receiving the high end quality as well as the best price around. Not only does she work with total devotion to make your day a special one but the quality and customer service you will receive will leave you completely 100% satisfied. I know that when my special day comes there will be no doubt in my mind to hire Blanca as my wedding consultant as well as her chair covers to add that special touch to my BIG day.

I had called around to 6 different places looking for chair covers and everyone I talked to was outrageously priced! I wanted something sort of simple, but super cute for my sisters babyshower and I got just that with A Touch of Elegance! Everyone at the party raved at what a huge difference it made just having those chairs covered. We did black chair covers with pink sashes and it really made the room POP! It looked amazing! Plus Blanca was so easy to work with. She was very flexible when it came to meeting me so I could see what the finished product would look like. On top of being super friendly and patient as I made my decision, she was also very creative and really thought about what it was I was asking for and completely delivered! The day of my event I didn’t have to do a thing. Matter of fact, she was already onsite setting up when I got there. She had the room done in no time at all! SIMPLE, INEXPENSIVE, AND ELEGANT all in one! I am so glad the I was referred to her. I would most definitely use her for future events and would recommend her to anyone looking for quality work at a great price! Thank you so much Blanca, for making our event the talk of the town!!! 

Blanca was recommended to me by my cousin who used her at her wedding reception. Since I was living far away (I was in Los Angeles and the reception was in San Francisco), we had to correspond via email and Blanca always responded very quickly. She and her assistants came promptly on the day of the event to set up and tear-down my wedding reception. The chair cover set-up was exactly what I had mind and matched exactly what she showed me in pictures from her previous engagements. I was very happy with the service and the pricing.

Pricing: $2.50 each chair (includes cover and sash, ironing, set up, take down, tax) + $45 delivery to San Francisco.

I was definitely recommend her for my friends and family for future events.

put it this way, without Blanca, our wedding day would've probably been chaotic. She was able to help us make sure the venue is setup correctly... all the vendors know what time they're suppose to arrive to setup... she helped us put things out and then away when it finished its use (i.e. the toasting flutes, cake cutting utensils, sand ceremony setup and take down, etc etc...... she even helped us put our wedding favors together... it's definitely well worth the money to be worry free on our big day. stop thinking about asking your friend or relatives to help out, they want to be there to enjoy your wedding too, not just be running around doing errands and whatever for you! =)

Amazing job! She deserves ratings hir than 5's! Blanca was so attentive and reliant, my wedding definately would have not been the same without her. I did not have to worry about anything. From the timeline to collecting all the end of the night items she was on top of it. Really the pleasure was all mine. She is such a wonderful person to work with she was worth every penny and more! When its time for my new hubby and I to renew our vows I am definately giving Blanca a call. THANK YOU BLANCA FOR MAKING MY SPECIAL DAY THAT MUCH SWEETER!

I am a newly married woman since June 18 2011. My wedding of 350-400 guests would have not been possible if it weren't for Blanca and her team at a Touch of Elegance. We shopped around for wedding planners and interviewed 4. She was very down to earth, easy to talk, and her price was very reasonable! We hired her for 2 months prior to our wedding as we had much detail and elements in our 2 day event. She was available at all times via phone, email and text. Her best response was via email. On our friday event, she helped prep our dinner rehearsal at the restaurant and made sure things were in order as we had a separate Cambodian ceremony that morning. On saturday she was in charge of all the vendors and prepping and organizing of our reception. It turned out to be gorgeous! Just all the vendors working together helped make our vision a success! Blanca remained professional, available, and readily calm at any and all problems that occurred. She did not fret with any guest table seating chart, or crazy cousin, or slide show hiccup, and I appreciate all she did for us during the reception itself. It was the best night of our life and it is something that we will never forget! We definitely would LOVE to recommend Blanca for any event, wedding or not! You will not be disappointed!!

Blanca saved my sanity for my wedding.Initially Blanca was recommended to me from a girlfriend who also hired Blanca for her wedding for just chair covers. She is amazing! I had no idea that she was also a Wedding Coordinator. SCORE! I had been planning my whole wedding by myself and was tettering on a nervous break down soon. Blanca saved that from happening. She took over where I was starting to freak out about things and made it all managable and fun. I really got to enjoy my wedding.Blanca was extremely professional, helpful, incredibly sweet, organized, detailed and so on top of her game. When my mind was in 3 millions directions she helped bring clarity, direction and sanity back into my world. She worked really well with all my other vendors and there was not one hiccup at my wedding. My mother wouldn't stop telling me how happy she was that Blanca was there.Chair Covers:Blanca and her crew decorated my reception and it looked amazing. I am so glad that she talked me out of some of my choices because the room was gorgeous with her vision. It was classy, romantic and not over the top.Same Day Coordination:Blanca was there every step of the way. We communicated constantly, we kept on my timeline and not at one point in the day did I feel anything went wrong or have any anxiety. It was perfect.

Thank you, Blanca! I decided at the last minute (2wks before our wedding) that I wanted chair covers. I called around and almost changed my mind when I started to receive quotes...so expensive! I found reviews for A Touch of Elegance and figured I would try one more. Blanca called back right away..gave me a quote right over the phone and I had to have her repeat it because I couldn't believe how affordable it was. She was professional, flexible and patient with me. I kept giving her the wrong total...I had a lot of numbers going on in my head two wks before. haha
By the time I arrived to our wedding venue the day off...everything was done. It was such a relief! The chair covers looked new, the sashes were tied perfectly and it made the room look so beautiful!
I was so impressed with her work that I referred my friend who is getting married in Oct over right away.
Thanks again Blanca!

Blanca was amazing!! She was very organized, made sure things happened in a timely manner, kept me on track and we don't know what we would have done without her!! The day of our wedding was so hectic, and we were so wrapped up in each moment, that if we didn't have her to keep us on track and onto the next thing, we wouldn’t have accomplished all that we had wanted to. She was very patient with my indecisiveness, calmed me down when I started to get overwhelmed or flustered. Also, when you are concerned with cost, A Touch of Elegance has the BEST pricing in town!!!! I searched high and low for bargains, and they had the best deal!! We would highly recommend A Touch of Elegance to any bride/groom to be!!! Thank you Blanca, for making our wedding day so special and memorable!

We acquired their services for Wedding Coordination along with chair covers. Blanca's attention to detail was amazing. She handled all of our vendors, schedules and payments with the same grace of a composer to his orchestra. She was readily available when we needed her- by phone, email and in person. She sat with us and assited us in forming a timeline (or flow, as she named it) on paper. She communicated with all of our vendors, ensuring that our needs were met. She also handled the disbursement of payments the night of the wedding. She assisted in the setup and preparations the day of the event. I would highly recommend her services if you are planning a wedding of any scale, considering that after reading so many reviews of wedding mishaps with vendors. It was a blessing and a priviledge to have had her help in planning and managing our special day. Cheers to you Blanca and A Touch of Elegance!

Blanca and A Touch of Elegance provides exceptional service and an affordable price. She is professional and responsive and focuses on the customer's needs which is key for anyone planning a wedding or event.

I am so glad I found A Touch of Elegance. Chair covers are one of those things you probably don't consider until most of your wedding planning is done, at which point you're probably sick and tired and just want to get married already! Thank goodness it was such a breeze to work with Blanca. Blanca Samano is organized, professional, and flexible. She has such a wide range of sash colors to choose from that it was difficult to decide on what we wanted! We found her prices very reasonable considering we needed about 200 chair covers. Everything was set up beautifully. They really did add that last touch of elegance to our wedding.

If anyone needs chair covers at a good price with great service, then this is the place for you! Blanca is really professional, trust worthy and arrives on time to set-up and break down.

If you can't bring yourself to pay for chiavari chairs, then this is the place to go for elegant chair covers.

Thanks for everything Blanca!

very reasonable price

I rented chair covers and sashes from Blanca, who is very professional and easy to work with. She sent me swatches of chair sashes right away and gave same day email responses for the most part. The fabric was nice (satin sashes), but I was a bit disappointed in that the Tiffany blue swatch that she sent me did not match the actual color during the reception. I received a light blue Tiffany satin swatch in the mail (and I went with that), but the sash on my wedding day was an aqua Tiffany blue. Also make sure you hire Blanca to setup your sashes. I had the venue workers tie the sashes and I was disappointed when I saw them for the first time during the reception. The sashes were halfway on the back of the chairs and the tails were dragging on the floor. It was sloppy. It's partly my fault because I should have been specific about what I wanted it to look like, I just assumed it would look like the sashes in Blanca's gallery. Maybe it initially looked nice, but because the guests moved around in their chairs, the sashes came loose and slipped down so maybe that's why half the bows didn't look symmetrical. At first I was upset about the color and droopiness, but my now husband thought the blue tied in really well and the sashes added a touch of elegance (not to sound too corny). Even if it didn't, he made me feel better.

Howard and I want to thank you for the wonderful job you did for us on Sunday!! The chair covers and the bows definitely added a touch of elegance to our wedding, and they made the room look so nice!! They also matched everything else very well too!!
Thank you so much again!!
Rosa and Howard

Nathan and I would like to thank you for all you did to make our wedding run so smoothly. Your attention to detail, professionalism, and thoroughness is exactly what we needed to ease our worries for our big day. We both appreciate your advice on how we could keep our wedding traditional but at the same time you gave us options on how to make our wedding unique while maintaining proper etiquette. Without your help and guidance I don't think I would have had as much fun as I did at my wedding. You kept the bridal party ready for their next "job" and coordinated the DJ, Band, florist and cater with ease. Because of your hard work you made it possible for Nathan and I to enjoy our wedding with our family and friends. I can truly say that my day was easy, fun, and stress free. I will be sure to refer you to anyone I know who is getting married, retiring, or planning a quincenera as I know you will do as good of job with their special event as you did for mine. Thanks again for all you did.

"...Initially we were planning on taking on the whole show and within months before the wedding we became overwhelmed as deadlines were approaching fast and we had not decided on the actual day details. To our luck, a good friend introduced us to Blanca Samano, a true wedding guru.... We shared what we wanted in our wedding and how we thought it should be and before we knew it, we really enjoyed Blanca's inputs, ideas and pleasant personality and within days we asked her if she would be willing to be our wedding coordinator."

"...Another good aspect of Blanca that we really appreciated was the fact on how detailed oriented she was and how well she kept track of the most significant points as she did not miss anything. We felt very comfortable getting to meet with her on a regular basis as the wedding was getting closer and she continued answering and welcoming our questions/concerns as she kept us upbeat and aware of all details from wedding ceremony hurdles to our awesome reception."

"One of the many great aspect of having Blanca as our wedding coordinator was simply she knew what she was doing and she made us feel good and comfortable as she shared her progress with all of our Vendors as a professional."

Thank you for some much for all your help on our wedding day! You did an outstanding job of keeping everything from the ceremony to the reception, running smooth. Having you there to organize and direct the day, gave me a ton of confidence and allowed me to ENJOY my wedding day.

My staff & I found our experiences to be extremely positive during the numerous occasions we have interacted with Blanca. Not only has she been professional and capable, but she has also demonstrated flexibility with being able to provide her services to us for last minute functions.

"...thank you so much for all your help from the table linens to the chair covers. Your tiffany blue ribbons tied the theme together perfectly. =) I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out on my wedding day, and I couldn’t have done it without your superb service. I really appreciate all the efforts you have put towards making my wedding day memorable. Thank you again for providing me your service."

Your service was excellent. There are people, who at the party, wanting to have your card. All were very impressed by the beauty of the chair covers and sashes. Your covers really made the difference for my event. I am telling everyone that I can about your service.

Thanks for your wonderful service!

We’ve worked with many coordinators over the years, and Blanca absolutely stands out from the crowd. She’s amazingly friendly, very responsive, and definitely on-top of everything. If anything goes wrong, you can count on her to take care of it and still maintain that sense of calm amidst all the craziness. Blanca can help with your planning, day-of coordinating, and even chair cover rentals. Her rates are very affordable. Get in touch with her, and see what she can do for you. Highly, highly recommended! You’ll be glad you hired her!
