V3 Weddings & Events

I don't know what my wedding would be like without Vanessa. She is always there for me calming me down when I am panicking out about the little things and getting me back on track when I am feeling super stressed out and overwhelmed. She is super organized, replies to you same day, is affordable, and comes up with amazing ideas.

UPDATED: Now that my wedding is over, I have the true review. I knew coming into the day, that I would not have to worry about a thing because of how organized, calm and collected Vanessa and her assistant was. They went over every detail with each other prior and when I arrived to the yacht club everything was perfection, really above and beyond what I was expecting. When I had lost the cylinder vases for my centerpeices one hour before the ceremony, they handled everything and the centerpeices they made up were better than the original plans.

I can not thank Vanessa and her staff more for making my wedding go flawlessly. She knows I love the small details, and all the work she put in the details made me so happy. When I was nervous or upset, they acted like my best friend and calmed me down. When something went wrong, they handled it immediately without me even knowing that something happened. I would recommend Vanessa of V3 events to anybody getting married in California, she will give you the wedding of your dreams and you won't have to pay an arm and leg to make it happen. I would book her immediately before her business blows up, like it's about to.

Vanessa with V3 Weddings and Events was a life saver!

We had an extremely large wedding party, and to manage all of this without her help would have been difficult to say the least. She was organized, professional, and kept the day running smoothly.

For anyone who is considering a wedding planner/"week of" coordinator, I highly recommend Vanessa and V3 Weddings. You will not be disappointed!

Vanessa is passionate about her job and it shows. From the day we first contacted her she was helpful and really good at emailing us back right away. I had booked her day of package but she also helped us book other vendors that she worked with. We had to cancel our wedding in March because of financial burdens but she worked with us to help get some of our deposits back, I don't know anyone who would do that after cancelling a wedding. Even now she emails me to check on my fiances health and see how things are. I recommend her to anyone looking for a coordinator, even though we didn't get to work with her on our wedding day, she is the nicest person ever adn that sets her apart from others who are in this for so many other reasons. She is a true professional, when we finally do get to have our wedding she is the first vendor I will call!

Vanessa of V3 Weddings & Events is an amazing coordinator, and I can't stop raving about her! She is organized, detail orientated, passionate, experienced, tactful, sweet, energetic, and fun. Everything I had hoped to find in a wedding coordinator. She went so above and beyond any expectations and made my wedding day perfect. She met with me several times, both at her office and at my venue. I could email her at any time about anything, whether it was for other vendor recommendations or questions about my decor. On the day of, she and her assistant did a great job of coordinating my vendors, rounding up my family, and setting up my many details.

Before I met her, I was still considering if I could afford hiring a coordinator. At our first meeting, I instantly knew that I couldn't afford not to hire her. As it turns out, she is priced low for what she actually does. She has a background in corporate and non-profit event planning. She's coordinated a number of fabulous weddings, including her own.

I am so lucky that I found Vanessa when I did. My day could have been a headache without her. Because of her, it was anything but. I would highly recommend her.

I just booked Vanessa and she is already de-stressing me. =]
As soon as I met with her I just felt so super comfortable with her, she didn't rush me as I talked her ear off and she understood exactly what I wanted. I have no doubt that my wedding will be even better than I imagine because of Vanessa. I booked her for the month-of coordination (getting married in July) but she is already e-mailing me pictures of wedding ideas that reminded her of me! =] and she is so excited about my up-coming engagement session. She really does care! Can't wait to update =]

One of the best decisions I made throughout the planning process was hiring Vanessa as my coordinator. She was such a great pleasure to work with - guiding me through my checklists, keeping me motivated to push forward. She's sweet, professional, dependable, knowledgeable, organized, and so much more, including affordable! Her services go above and beyond what you actually pay.

Thank you, Vanessa, for everything! I was never one to think of my wedding day as being the best day of my life; but it was, and I have you to thank for helping to make that happen.

5 Stars all the way! Vanessa was bar none our favorite wedding vendor. I can not explain how nice it was to always have someone to go to if we needed help with anything. She was always just an email away and if I needed answers I always heard from her within 24 hours. We booked the month of service but she never limited her assistance to what was actually included in this package. She helped connect us with some of our vendors and also worked with me to put together ideas for our venue decor. I am really the kind of girl who loves to play with details and projects and my husband and I are ridiculously organized but I knew I didn't want us to fret about anything as our wedding got closer.

On the day of our wedding we didn't have to worry about a thing. Just moments before our first dance my reception mini dress had a major wardrobe malfunction and without hesitation she began sewing me into my dress and saved the day! I will never ever forget that moment and how collected and confident she was as my mom and I were freaken out! Vanessa and her assistant handled everything from vendors, details, guests, you name it! The banquet manager was a friend of my parents and he even raved about how professional and sweet she was. We are so happy to have hired her and recommend her to all of you brides out there that need an awesome coordinator.

Vanessa came to me as a referral from a friend and as soon as I met with her I just knew she would be great. I work in production, so it is sometimes hard for me to let everything go because my job forces me to be very detail oriented. But Vanessa is exceptional at what she does. She makes you feel so at ease, calm, and confident that you have everything covered for your wedding and things are going to all work out. I couldn't of asked for a better coordinator for our wedding. She meshed well with vendors she didn't know, and kept everything running seamlessly all throughout the day. Best decision I made was to hire Vanessa, by far, and I will never go through this wedding process again but i sort of wish I could just to work with her again. She rocked.

I'm the type of person that believes "if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself!" So when it came to planning my wedding, you can imagine how disappointed I was when I realized I wouldn't be able to run down to the ballroom on my wedding day and set up the reception...and get ready at the same time! I knew I had to put aside "the control freak" and hire a coordinator. But I couldn't just hire any coordinator. My husband and I are both graphic designers, so a majority of our wedding was made up of many DIY projects. I began my search for the right “day of” coordinator that I would be able to trust with all our little details and carry out our vision. After all my research, I found Vanessa and saw that all the weddings she has been involved with have looked amazing, plus she was right in our budget…how can you beat that? We had our first meeting and I knew she would be perfect! She was absolutely beautiful inside and out and we got along so well. I hired her right away and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Throughout my wedding planning, Vanessa was always available to answer any questions I had and offered numerous vendor referrals. On the day of our wedding, everything turned out perfect and we were completely stress free. I received so many compliments on how beautiful and fun my wedding was and it was all thanks to Vanessa and her team. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without them!

I am a vendor myself and I have worked with Vanessa at V3 events on many occasions. She is so passionate at what she does. She is always 10 steps ahead of the brides needs. I am always in the loop with the scheduling when working with Vanessa. She sets up the trial for the bride, and informs me on the times the bride is available. Sometimes having a middle man(woman) ;) can be frustrating, but working with Vanessa is such a pleasure. If and when I get married, I will hire her.

I've always loved weddings! I can recall as a teenager when I didn't even have a boyfriend, I daydreamed about what my wedding would be like. I'd purchase bridal magazines and make note of my favorite dresses, cakes and wedding details. So when I finally got engaged, I thought I had it all figured out and could coordinate my entire wedding on my own. I was a DIY bride on a budget so most of the planning and details my fiance and I did together.

With only 2 weeks before our wedding, I realized after all the planning and time we invested, I needed someone I could trust to make it all happen. That's when I hired Vanessa with V3 Events. She was the last vendor we hired but the BEST money spent for our wedding. She coordinated the ceremony/reception setup, all our vendors for the day of, and created a detailed wedding timeline. She also purchased everything we needed for a candy buffet we thought we couldn't afford, but she made it budget friendly for us. On the days leading up to the wedding, she appointed herself the point of contact for all our vendors because she didn't want me to stress out. Vanessa even offered to help us put together our last minute DIY details, and that was beyond what she was contracted to do. She is truly a gem and I can't thank her enough for what she and her assistant did for us. The evening flowed smoothly and I attribute it to Vanessa's hard work and passion for what she does. She is super organized, calm amidst the chaos, and a true friend on your big day. Even my family was impressed with how helpful and endearing she was. If you are looking to hire a wedding coordinator, you should give her a call. I highly recommend her to any bride and I am so grateful to her for making our wedding day more than we could ever ask for.

V3 Weddings and Events is a great company. They are very creative and we will definately use them again for future weddings.

vanessa did a great job for our wedding. we got her for the "day-of" but she actually starts planning with you as early as a month before the wedding. she is very organized, detail oriented, and very easy to work with. she went above and beyond what was expected of her and i didn't have to worry about a single thing on the day of the wedding. my husband and i felt comfortable working with her. and the cherry on top is that she is super sweet. thanks vanessa!!!

Where can I start?

I am having a hard time expressing in words on how happy we are of hiring Vanessa. Lets just say that just like most brides you want to make sure your wedding day is as perfect as it can be, and sometimes having the extra cash for a wedding coordinator is not something every bride has the luxury to do. But like I said before there is no words to describe on how happy I was that day off. Vanessa handled every single thing of the wedding and believe me when I say a wedding can never be perfect something always happens. I remember seeing her running around and she still made sure to come and ask me how I was doing. I strongly feel this day could have never gone as smooth if she wasn't there.
My family and friends were so impressed on her ability of handling so many different things that day. Everyone has said to me and my husband how everything look so well put together and planned out I wonder why. Hahaha
I personally am not a creative person and my husband isn't at all. The first time I met her I went over the ideas of my wedding day and it seem to me that I was all over the place. Vanessa was able to narrow down my ideas. I love her ability of listening and how passionate she is for what she does. If you are like me and my husband definitely hired her. She will definitely save you many headaches that I am certain all brides go through.

Vanessa thank you for making our day so special you were worth every cent.
