I just moved here from Canada, moved into a new home, had to adjust to the NAVY WIFE LIFE and plan a wedding in 60 days. I found Brenda on Wedding Wire, checked her website and her reviews and met with her. 2 weeks later hubby came back from deployment and we met again and hubby approved.
Brenda made our Wedding Dreams come true. She went above and beyond everything we could have asked for. The only way we can explain is by telling you everything!!! LOL I asked for a DIVA PRINCESS wedding with dark red/gold turtle theme. I wanted things to pop but also be classic as well, what a request right?!?!??! We originally had everyone in La Mesa, Ceremony in La Jolla and Reception in Newport Beach and b/c of this we would have gone way over budget so Brenda figured out a way to still have a beautiful Ceremony & Reception all in the OC area instead. From that day forward, we put our whole wedding in her hands. We pretty much said "here is our budget.............. WE TRUST YOU" From decorations, flowers, ceremony music, transporation etc. she did it all. All we had to do was say Yes and NO ( well mostly Yes) Sometimes, it's the wedding planner's job to say NO when you are going over budget but her NO's didn't feel negative in anyway as she was trying to help us and we greatly appreciated it.
To keep our budget under, Brenda was a big fan of DIY. I think parts of your wedding should be DIY it gives it a personal touch. All paper ( favor tags, place cards, program ), wedding favour Cake Pops, and cookies were all done by myself and friends. Ceremony and Reception decorations were done by Brenda for a small fee. If it wasn't for Brenda I would have spent $100's of dollars on these things. She even got me turtle candles and decorations for the ceremony. Our reception was on Electra Cruises and they had their own Wedding Day Co-ordinator but Brenda still came with us to finalize the reception and evern helped out at the reception and she didn't even have to.
Jeff, her son was awesome. He communicated with us through out the day if Brenda was busy and assited my whole wedding party with any of their needs. Jeff thank you for emptying those sand vials!!!! So sweet of him to help her out and be so attentive on our wedding day. He needs a raise Brenda!!!!
If you are looking for someone who is NOT the "cookie cutter" type wedding planner, BRENDA is the one for you. She doesn't over price, (but I think with her work she should LOL) and she will always respond to any calls, emails and text in a timely manner. She actually CARES about your wedding and WANTS all your dreams to come true.

Cece....it was such an honor to have your trust while we were planning your beautiful wedding. You and Jose were a dream to work with, and I wish you a long and happy marriage! Thank you again for allowing me to be part of your day.

Brenda is truly AMAZING!! My husband's first impression of her was a very reliable and helpful aunt. I don't know how we could have pulled it off without her. She is extremely polite and professional. However, she was stern enough to handle our slightly rowdy and very fun loving wedding party! She took care of EVERYTHING! I was a very DIY bride so we used silk flowers for everything. Hubby, family, and I made all the decorations - from the centerpieces to the candy buffet to the table numbers. She set EVERYTHING up perfectly! Our wedding turned out better than we expected because of Brenda. :)
Brenda even went the extra mile AFTER our wedding to iron out a head count hiccup with our venue!

It was a priviledge to serve as your "auntie" and make sure all of your creativity shined on your wedding day! I really enjoyed working with all of the things you made, and stand in awe of the talent you have! Thank you for letting me be a special part of your day.

Brenda was a major life saver when it comes to my wedding. She definitely went above and beyond! I only hired her to be a day of coordinator but she did so much more. She asked vendors questions that I would have never thought of. She made sure that everything was perfect!! If there were any problems, they were unknown to me which is exactly what I wanted. I didn't want any worries for me or anyone else. She worked with me while I was deployed overseas and stuck with me for two different dates since the military interfered with the first. Everything that she put together was absolutely beautiful and I couldn't imagine using anyone else!

Christina.....what a priviledge it was for me to be part of your wedding celebration...both the one that almost was before your deployment and the one that was upon your return! You were a dream to work with, and I wish you and Robby a long and happy life together! And, I thank you both for your service to our country and for making the sacrifices that come along with that service.

Brenda did aa great job helping with our wedding planning. She Helped me have a very carefree wedding which made my wedding so wonderful. She helped me finish a lot of the last minute details like place cards and setting everything up. Brenda coordinated with all of my vendors and had a typed itinerary for every person involved in the wedding. I could not have asked for a better wedding planner. I highly recommend Moments of Magic for wedding planning!

GUEST
We thought we could handle it all, but finally gave in and hired Brenda as our coordinator. BEST decision we ever made! We are so glad we had Brenda there to give us her outstanding advice! We highly recommend Brenda and Moments of Magic.
GUEST
Without Brenda and Moments of Magic, we could not have had the most amazing, perfect day that we had. I felt completely comfortable with her at our first meeting. It was as if she knew exactly how to capture all my crazy ideas and blend them in one unforgettable day.
I really appreciated all of her creative ideas from the invitations and programs to the decorations and lighting that tied everything together. The fact that she worked so closely with all my other vendors (caterer, florist & DJ) really made the whole planning part super easy and fun for us! And all our vendors kept raving about how much they loved her, which made me feel even more at ease than I already was.
I have never met anyone more organized than Brenda. Any time I called her with a question, she knew exactly where we were in all the planning stages and what the next step was….along with the deadline!! She was professional to work with, but also fun and always had me laughing. That was priceless!
I truly can not imagine our wedding without Moments of Magic. As much as I may write here, words just can’t explain how much we appreciate Brenda's part of our day. If you are even thinking of hiring a wedding planner, call Brenda now!

Jeni.. It was truly my pleasure to work with you and BIll and your families. You were a beautiful bride, and a joy to help!
GUEST
My wedding was a destination wedding in Joshua Tree, and we could not have had such a beautiful event without Brenda. Her ability to take a negative weather situation and turn it into a blessing. She was able, on the turn of a dime, to take an old sleeping room in an inn and turn it into a beautiful banquet room that felt like it was meant to be.
Her personality calmed me during my nervous breakdown! I highly recommend Brenda and her Moments of Magic team to anyone needing help planning and enjoying their wedding!
GUEST
Brenda from Moments of Magic is heaven sent! She has made my dream wedding become a reality! From color schemes, to the venue, and all the little details in between she has really read my mind and perfectly meshed my fiance' and I's tastes and personalities!
I can't say enough of how wonderful it has been to work with Brenda. She stuck right on our budget, actually saved us some extra cash for the honeymoon, and still created the most beautiful wedding I ever imagined!
Vendor response to review
Thankyou, Jerica! You were the most precious thing to work with.....and it was my priviledge to help you and that handsome husband of yours with the day of your dreams!
GUEST
I can’t imagine what our wedding day would have been like without Brenda Kaesler with Moments of Magic! We both appreciate how she jumped into our planning 2 months from our wedding.
Both of us have full time jobs, so we realized that we really needed some help as “the” time got closer. The lists of things to do and decisions to make became overwhelming and so stressful that I really thought I was going insane. She bounced in with her sense of humor and calming manner, and I immediately felt at ease and confident that we would have the day we wanted.
I wish I had hired her from the very beginning of my planning. I know she could have saved us a whole lot of money, and she had such great ideas of how to work the details and tie all of our thoughts together.
Brenda turned our wedding from a stressful event to the relaxed day of our dreams. I would tell anyone planning a wedding to hire Moments of Magic from the beginning. She rocks!

Thankyou Donnille! It was my priviledge to "jump" in to your wedding and take your stress away! You and Luke are destined to have a long and happy marriage!
GUEST
No one is perfect and it may be very hard to believe but this planner did a very great job with our wedding and we would recommend her to any and everyone in need of a planner.
GUEST
Brenda and Moments of Magic were a life-saver! My daughter and I didnt know where to start as far as planning her wedding! Brenda made it fun and stress-free. She has a wonderful warm-southern charm and makes you feel at-ease with every detail of planning....right up to wedding day! My daughter's wedding was amazing and she could not have been happier! Brenda helped us from beginning to end and she's worth every penny! My little bride and I thought we could plan a wedding just the two of us, but soon realized we were in "over our heads"...! Brenda was one of our most important decisions as far as "who to hire". Brenda helped recommend great vendors at reasonable cost. Hiring Brenda helped us save money AND made our wedding planning seamless and fun! We recommend Brenda and Moments of Magic with whole-hearted enthusiasm!
Brenda is a amazing person... I trust her with every and anything.. I would even let her watch my 1 year old... Hire her and you will have a easy wedding day... We Love Brenda!!
When I first worked with Brenda, I thought, What a lucky bride! She took over and I had no worries. Making everyone feel at ease is her forte. I look forward to future events with Moments of Magic.
Brenda is a great person to work with, very passionate about her work!
I recommend the services of Moments of Magic to make your Wedding Day a one-of-a-kind event that will be remembered and cherished by you and all your guests for years to come. ~~ Angela www.calligraphybyangela.com 214 957 2155
Dallas...
I've worked with Brenda and her Moments of Magic team and I was so amazed by how they transformed a simple room in villa into a gorgeous reception hall complete with Japanese lanterns and beautiful floral arrangements. She is so warm and approachable. I highly recommend her and Moments of Magic.
About Moments of Magic
You made the most important decision....you said "yes!" Now let us help you make the next 225 decisions about your wedding day!
We have surveyed over 100 brides to be in the San Diego area, and these 3 things always top the list of frustrations and causes of stress while planning a wedding:
~the time it takes ~ feeling confident about wedding vendors ~ staying on budget
Here's how Moments of Magic addresses these frustrations:
1. THE TIME IT TAKES.jpg)
Creating Moments of Magic for brides is my full time career. So while you are at work, I am working for you! And, we limit the number of weddings we do per month to be able to focus on, and give our full energy to your unique event. When you work with Moments of Magic, you'll quickly realize that you are working with a "partner" who is available to you when you need me and focused on your unique event!
2.
FEELING CONFIDENT ABOUT WEDDING VENDORS
Finding professional wedding vendors that you connect with and trust is a vital part of the success of your wedding. How can you tell from a website if a deejay isn't really a karaoke jockey with no emcee experience. You can rest assured that my network of vendors are hand picked and chosen for their professionalism, performance and willingness to put their own egos aside to make your wedding day what you dream of! We have a collection of vendors that fit every personality, style and budget.
3. STAYING ON BUDGET.jpg)
I believe that you should get the most fair price for the services you are seeking. With over 15 years of managing other people's expenditures, and the knowlege I have for what wedding services SHOULD cost along with my vast network of contacts, helping you get the biggest payoff for your hard earned dollars is second nature.
An experienced wedding planner will pay for themselves with the time, stress and money you save throughout your planning process. And, when you call, make sure you ask how to receive our money back guarantee!

How will you save me time?
Wedding planning is quite literally a full time job. The average bride spends over 1600 hours researching her wedding needs, and a full 250 hours actually organizing and planning the event! That's six full time work weeks! At Moments of Magic, it is our full time job! And, because it is we know the mistakes not to make, and the organization system to utilize.
Your engagement is meant to be a time when you are getting to know your fiance' deeper, discovering more about his or her family, and having a great time. Your wedding experience should be relaxed and exciting! My best advice is to keep and open mind and open heart. Remember that this is a day celebrating the uniting of two families who each love their children. Your wedding is a rite of passage that both sets of parents have thought and dreamed about since you were both born. And, yes, you should "have it your way." Just remember to be gracious in your demands and expectations. Let your wedding planner handle any uncomfortable situations that might arise, and keep harmony in this expanding family!
