At first, I didn't think we needed a wedding planner...After talking to my now husband, he wanted us to have fun & enjoy our wedding without worrying about set up, planning, etc., so we hired Santa Barbara Soiree. I am EXTREMELY appreciative and grateful that we did and it was one of the best decisions we made!

Joanie Vazquez helped make our wedding plans come true! She helped make everything run so smoothly & efficiently, from vendor/rental selections to planning everything to the smallest detail to rehearsal and day-of! She consistently checked in to make sure everything was moving along.

Day-of, Joanie was AMAZING! We were able to relax & soak in the moment, knowing everything was being handled by Joanie. She was cool, calm & collected throughout the day, even when at the end of the night we had a mishap with some broken dishes. She worked it out & we didn't even know it had happened until the next day. She worked tirelessly throughout the entire event & was the last vendor to check out with us to ensure nothing else was left for us to take care of.

Extremely professional, friendly and wonderful to work with - you will not go wrong if you have Santa Barbara Soiree and Joanie Vasquez as your wedding planner. She consistently goes above and beyond the call of duty to make sure everything is perfect for a wedding and truly allows you to soak in the most important day of your life without any worry or hassle...I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!

Can't say enough about how helpful Joanie was during the whole wedding process. Her service and knowledge of all things Santa Barbara is unmatched. The planning was made easy and my wedding day was nothing but smooth. I couldn't have done it without Joanie and her team.
