Our process
One beautiful experience
Full planning and design, from the first conversation to the last dance. Every couple receives our whole heart, our whole team and every detail in between.
How it unfolds
Your story, chapter by chapter
And so it begins
Getting to know you
It starts with a conversation: how you met, what you love, and the people you cannot imagine celebrating without. From there we shape a budget, a guest experience and a plan that fits your personal style.
The design
A day that looks like you
Together we build the look and feel of your wedding, from palette and florals to linens, lighting and the smallest printed detail, so every moment tells your story.
The planning
Every detail, carried
We find and manage the right venue partners and vendors, review contracts, track every task and timeline in your private Client Lounge, and handle the logistics so you never have to.
The celebration
Simply be present
On the day, our team runs everything behind the scenes, from the first delivery to the final send-off, so the two of you can soak up every moment.

Good to know
Questions couples ask
How far in advance should we book?
Twelve to eighteen months ahead is ideal. With six to eight months, we can still make it beautiful; we will just hit the ground running.
Do you plan weddings outside Ojai? Do you travel?
Yes! We love to travel, and destination weddings and events are some of our favorites.
What size weddings do you plan?
All sizes are welcome, from intimate gatherings to grand celebrations.
How is your planning priced? Is there a starting investment?
Our full-service planning investment begins at 15% of your overall wedding budget, plus labor, with a minimum budget of $250,000.
Do you offer partial planning or day-of coordination?
We offer full planning and production only. Being part of every decision from the very beginning is how we make sure every detail of your day comes together.
Will Sonia be with us on the wedding day? Who is our point person?
Absolutely. Sonia leads the production of every wedding, together with her amazing team.
Can you help us find our venue?
Absolutely, and it’s one of our favorite parts. With Le Lieu Group, our venue concierge service, we match you with venues that fit your style, guest count and budget, including private properties you won’t find online.
Can we bring our own vendors, or do we use yours?
Over the years, we have built great relationships with the best event professionals in the industry. We are always open to a conversation about a vendor you would love to work with.
What does wedding design include?
It begins with discovering what you find beautiful and interesting: colors, textures, scents and anything else that tickles your fancy. From there, we create a personalized design deck that becomes the blueprint for every design element of your day.
How do we stay in touch while planning?
Your Client Lounge is the online planning space we share. Our team also stays in touch by email, phone and video calls.
Do you plan the rest of the weekend: rehearsal dinner, welcome party, after party?
Absolutely. Full wedding weekends are our specialty, from golf and pickleball tournaments, spa treatments and morning yoga to the rehearsal dinner, welcome party and farewell brunch. We love a full wedding weekend.
