Velvet Alley Events

Working with Velvet Alley was a dream! We had the opportunity to work with both Camille and Soltana, and the experience was nothing less than spectacular. They asked a ton of questions in order to make sure they we were always thinking along the same lines. They made sure to ask about every detail, and were available by email and phone anytime we thought of a question or concern. Often, they addressed our questions before we even had to ask them!
As soon as we explained our vision, they were full of ideas, tips, vendor recommendations, and personal touches that could be added to our wedding. They were patient as we continued to evolve our ideas and took time to explain every step and process.
The wedding day was seamless. They coordinated with our vendors so that everything went off without a hitch. The day couldn't have been more perfect, and I can't imagine trying to go thru this process without them!!

We made a last minute decision to hire an event coordinator, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Soltana and her team at Velvet Alley Events was amazing to work with - kind, patient, professional and incredibly organized. The rehearsal and our wedding day all went smoothly thanks to their help. As we were walking down the aisle on rehearsal day, we literally said to ourselves, "What would we have done without her?"

I simply cannot say enough wonderful things about Soltana at Velvet Alley Events! She was wonderful to work with!!! I was a pretty hands on and organized bride, but having someone for the day of, to execute the vision, and that made everything run smoothly and allowed me to relax and enjoy the wedding....was priceless!!! I never had to worry about the details...I was just able to enjoy the day because of her and her team!! During our planning meetings, Soltana was always fun, friendly and organized. She was always there to help answer any questions that I had, or to help provide suggestions or fun ideas, or to solve conundrums...even when I emailed her late at night! Not only did she always respond promptly, but she was always so sweet and extremely helpful. We had a unique, unusual venue, and some unusual vendors and she handled it all! Several of our family members and wedding party commented on how wonderful Soltana and the Velvet Alley staff were and how they made everything run so smoothly during the wedding. Girls, she even has a giant emergency bag filled with goodies, for when your bridesmaids need a safety-pin or some deodorant...she thinks of everything!!! Soltana, I can't thank you enough for everything!!!

I cannot begin to express how happy I am that I booked Soltana to help us with day of coordination services for our wedding. Soltana was the first coordinator I talked to, and I am so happy I did not think about it twice. Throughout the wedding planning process I was very laid back, and probably not as "on top of things" as I should have been, but Soltana always made me feel like everything was right on schedule and reassured me the day would go without a hitch- and it did. Well, actually, it didn't. I hear many things happened at the wedding, but I knew about NONE of them. I was able to relax, eat, and have fun all night long thanks to Soltana and her also awesome assistant Lindsey. I will say that even for a budget-conscious bride like myself, having a wedding day coordinator is a no brainer, and I am sure that this is particularly true because we were lucky enough to have Soltana be our coordinator.

I was one of those brides who thought they can do almost everything themselves and task loved ones to take care of the rest. We were a budget conscious couple so at first we did not consider hiring a coordinator. Once we realized that we would rather enjoy our wedding and have our loved ones enjoy it as well, we began searching for a day-of coordinator. Working with Soltana was one of the best decisions we made in the whole wedding planning process!! First, she saved us money. She provided staff for setup, cleanup and drink service. Her staff was incredibly professional, quick and thorough. Having her staff provide those services saved us from hiring expensive catering and bar tending services. Second, Soltana and her assistant ran around all day making sure everything went smoothly. I did not worry about a thing. Till this day, I have no idea if something went wrong. All I had to do is show up at the wedding and have fun. I even forgot how to bustle my dress and she came to the rescue. Third, even though she was a day-of, we had several consolations. She always answered all our questions, closely worked with us on our timeline and put our minds at ease. She also provided lots of creative ideas and knew more about our traditions than we did! Because of Soltana our wedding day was headache-free and ran as smoothly as possible!

My husband and I were very lucky and fortunate to have Soltana as our Wedding Rehearsal and Day-of-Coordinator. From the planning stages of our wedding until the day off the wedding, she always gave her straight forward opinions, suggestions and recommendations. I value and appreciate her honesty. For any questions and concerns that may come up, Soltana promptly responds and provides solutions. She has a list of recommendable resources for cake, DJ, hair & make-up,....anything you may need for your wedding. Her exceptional skills for organizing, communicating and ensuring that everything is how YOU want your wedding day to be helped enable us to have a wonderful and memorable wedding with no worries. Soltana is definitely amazing, insightful, easy to work with and worth every penny spent. Thank you Soltana!

Soltana and her team were outstanding! There is no way our day would've been so perfect without her there! She went above and beyond the call of duty and we are forever grateful for her. You can't have a wedding without Soltana and Velvet Alley Events!!!

I had the opportunity to work with Camille as my Day-of-Coordinator & she was so fantastic. She was incredibly assertive in working with the vendors, thorough & organized. I knew that on the day of my wedding I could rest assured that camille would make sure everything was in order from the setup of the venue/reception to making sure all vendors followed through on their contracts. She made everything so much better & it was such a huge relief to have her there by my side, entrusting her with everything and feeling confidant that she would make sure everything was spot on. She was so great. Thank you Camille! We couldn't have done it without you.

Words cannot even begin to express how AMAZING Soltana and Velvet Alley Events are!

With how expensive weddings are, I have to admit at first I thought having a day-of coordinator was an unnecessary expense (especially since our venue provided a day-of coordinator included in our contract). Boy, was I wrong!!! Soltana (and her assistant Lindsey) were simply FANTASTIC and WELL WORTH the very affordable fee! They were always three steps ahead, from the planning stages of our wedding all the way to the end of our wedding reception and everything in between. Soltana was always friendly, easy to get a hold of, and I find her to be extremely competent and passionate about her work. She really knows her stuff!

On my wedding day, both my mother and I were able to completely relax and fully enjoy the day knowing that Soltana had everything under control. Soltana not only kept events on schedule and communicated with all of our vendors to ensure everything was perfect, but she also kept me as the bride apprised of the next activity a few minutes ahead of time, which was SO necessary. It's true what they say - time really does pass so quickl on your wedding day.

I could go on and on with nothing but positive things to say, but to put it simply, the entire experience of having Soltana at Velvet Alley Events as a day-off coordinator is absolutely PRICELESS. I would have paid double, even triple, the amount charged for Soltana's expertise and services.

I would, without a moment's hesitation, HIGHLY recommend! :)

Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Words can not adequately describe how much I appreciate Soltana and her crew at Velvet Alley Events. As a bride from Texas, planning a wedding cross country was at times a bit overwhelming. Solltana was always there to help answer any questions that I had. Not only did she always respond promptly, but she was always so sweet and extremely helpful. She didn't hesitate a bit when I asked her if I could ship 6 HUGE boxes to her from Texas, to prevent me from having to carry them onto the plane. She even offered to drive up 3 large pieces of furniture to my venue (3 hours north of LA) for FREE. And she brought a few last minute items with her that I had forgotten to rent.

Not only was Soltana so helpful and kind during my planning process, but the day of the wedding went without a single flaw. Soltana and her crew were incredibly organized. She called my MOH at 10am the day of the wedding to make sure that my groom and I were doing ok. When I arrived to my venue at 3pm, everything had already fallen perfectly in place. The ceremony and reception site were set up exactly as I had envisioned. The evening ran so smoothly and perfectly according to time. Several of my vendors had never worked with Soltana before but they (including the owners of the venue) contacted me after our wedding to let me know what an incredible job that she did. Velvet Alley Events and their staff were always professional, always approachable, always organized and so amazingly wonderful. My wedding day was perfect and I know it was so because they were involved in orchestrating the day:) I simply do not have enough amazing words to describe them. I would without a doubt use them over and over again and wouldn't hesitate a second to recommend them to any bride out...

We had a lovely experience with Velvet Alley Events! Camille helped us througout the planning process with everything i needed and then some! Being that we had a decorator that took care of the centerpieces and that sort of thing, Camille was there to fill in anywhere i needed her, and she was so flexible with everything! She answered ALL of my questions very promptly and revised and changed the day of itinerary so many times for me to fit our needs because i didnt know what i was doing :) and made everything flow smoothly. The day of she was there from start to finish to make sure everyone was where they needed to be and took care of the vendors and groomsmen and everything was wonderful!! Thank you so much!

We could not have asked for better coordination. Everything was wonderful and the day flowed very smoothly without any problems! Would definitely recommend to any future brides!

Soltana and her team were wonderful to work with. I hired Soltana as my day-of coordinator and she did an amazing job. I was a pretty hands on and organized bride, but having someone for the day made everything run smoothly and allowed me to relax and enjoy the wedding.
Soltana managed all of the contracts and coordinated with my vendors - the weeks leading up and on the wedding day. She was always available and offered fun and unique ways to enhance our wedding.
Soltana and her team is professional and exceeded my expectations!
They made us feel that our wedding was important to them as it was to us - which was why our wedding was perfect!

I would highly recommend any bride use Velvet Alley for all their wedding coordinating needs!

Soltana was a life saver for my daughter's wedding and helped to make it a wonderful day for all of us. We did all the planning and catering ourselves, but Soltana and her crew provided all the staff for the reception. Everyone was very professional and flexible even though there were some time constraints that had to be worked around. Soltana was awesome to work with and I would suggest you contact her about your event before you plan to do it all yourself since she is capable of handling all your pre-planning and day of the event needs. I highly recommend her and her crew.

Soltana was our day of coordinator for our wedding this weekend. She was very professional and helpful. She certainly helped everything at the rehearsal and the day of the wedding run smoothly and without problem. I didn't have to worry about anything because I knew we were in good hands and everything got done as I had been planning for more than a year without me having to do any additional work on my wedding day. Thank you Soltana!

I want you to know that Camille Cruz did an exceptional job on Julie's wedding, she rocked the whole event! She was very professional, knew exactly what needed to be done and who needed to have it done for, she was just the best! We could not have had the fairytale day for my daughter without her!!!! You are very lucky to have her as a employee!!! We love her dearly!!!

Thank you so much for allowing us all to just enjoy the wedding. Everything fell into place as planned thanks to Soltana and her team. It was a magical day for Tony and Heidi, one they will never forget.

Soltana was AMAZING!!!!
she seriously took all the crazyness out of the wedding day and helped me soo much more than we anticipated. I was referred to Soltana from a friend who could not say enough about her, and I feel exactly the same way.
Soltana came to our apartment multiple times to meet with us and discuss ideas, she went downtown to search for candles for us, and handmade our escort/table cards.
The day of the wedding she made sure all the vendors did what they were supposed to and were there on time. Most importantly she told me and my hubby where we were supposed to be and and what we were supposed to do and kept us all on schedule....and with calmeness and smiles!!
I never had to worry about the details...I was just able to enjoy the day because of her!!

We were referred to Soltana by a friend of ours. We weren't sure we were even going to hire a Day of Coordinator but hiring Soltana was simply the best decision we made! She stepped in and took care of every detail - we did not have to worry about one thing. Also, please know that three days before our wedding we found out about a huge labor protest in downtown LA that was going to impact our vendors and Soltana handled the whole situation effortlessly and every single one of our vendors was on time and our wedding went off without a hitch. She is a true professional and will make your day so easy!

Soltana was my day of coordinator. While some might think this is an unnecessary position to fill for a wedding, I found it one of the most valuable when all was said and done. I was originally going to have a friend help with some of the details on the day of, but there are so many minor details that only professionals will think of and be prepared for. Soltana went above and beyond the call of duty and allowed me to enjoy my special day without worrying about the set up, flow and logistics behind the scenes. I confidently recommend her services to all brides and grooms out there.

There aren't enough words to say thank you to Soltana, for an absolutely beautiful and flawless wedding day! From the minute I spoke to Soltana, I was grateful for how flexible and accommodating she was with our schedule and budget. The amount of time, effort and dedication she put into our wedding was so impressive and appreciated. She had so many ideas and solutions to make our dream wedding a reality. I never realiazed how much effort it took to run a wedding and to do it sucessfully, and I know without Soltana behind it all, it would not have been everything I had hoped for. I loved every minute of working with Soltana and would reccommend her to all my friends if they are looking for an extraordinary wedding planner!!

It was a pleasure to work with such an amazing coordinator. From the moment we met with her she was so understanding with all of our needs it really made it easy to talk to her, and allow her to see our vision. All my friends warned me that on the day of the wedding I would be a little "crazy" and "stressed" out, but honestly it was the most realxing and exciting day all because I hired a professional like Soltana. Her staff is friendly and know exactly what is expected of them. The vendors she got us in contact with were great. All in all she is the best.
Thank you so much for all your hardwork and effort.

We had the distinct pleasure of working with Soltana at Velvet Alley Events for our recent wedding. From the moment we met with her she was gracious, well- informed, helpful, considerate, and understanding of our needs. Her staff was very knowladgable and well trained. They also assisted in every way possible, from meeting with vendors to a timely set up prior to the wedding. She understood the vision we were trying to accomplish and went over an beyond what we had expected. We would deffinetly refer anyone to Velvet Alley Events.

Soltana was awesome to work with. She was always available for advice and willing to help. She helped us find vendors that worked within our budget and taste. Her positive and energetic personality made the planning a wonderful experience. On our wedding day we felt very relaxed and enjoyed every moment thanks to Soltana who was on top of everything. Outstanding Job!!!!!!! I would recommend Velvet Alley Events to anyone.

I used Velvet Alley Events for my wedding last May and it turned out BEAUTIFUL!
Soltana was soo helpful! She helped us come up with fresh new ideas to make our wedding more personal to our tastes. She worked very hard to get us just about everything we wanted without ever going over our budget. She has great style & taste
and was very fun to work with. She and her staff were very professional and provided wonderful customer service. They made our guests feel welcome and everyone had a great time. It was a great feeling hearing all of our guests commenting on how beautiful and unique our wedding/ reception turned out. I would definitely recommend
Velvet Alley Events to anyone!! Thanks again Soltana! You're the best!

Always,

Allana & Bryan
;D

Soltana….Soltana….Soltana….WOW where do I start?

Our wedding was the most beautiful and memorable day of my life. I’m still getting emails and calls from friends and family on how beautiful and well coordinated our wedding was. It’s the talk of the Persian High Society hahahaha. From the minute I met Soltana I knew that my day was going to be stress free and my vision was going to come true, and it did and then some. She was always very helpful and available at the drop of a hat. Her taste is impeccable.

Thank you Soltana a million times over and over.

Soltana is the perfect choice in a wedding planner. We love working with her. All aspects of the event were as smooth and professional as could possibly be. Not only did she create a wonderful event but she did it with calmness, poise and class. we highly recommend her for any event! Lori Andrews

Velvet Alley Events is such a FABULOUS team to work with! Fun, professional and on point for your big day. Not only do I highly recommend Soltana and team, I also hired her to coordinate my own Anniversary event. Every couple that I have worked with with Soltana has raved about how awesome she is and how much they absolutely adore her.

Soltana and her team do a great job with wedding and event planning and they don't have the ego maniac, drama queen, bad attitudes that many wedding planners have. Our DJs love working with them!
