via Google My husband and I could not have asked for a more seamless and brilliantly executed wedding day - it was perfect from beginning to end! It takes a great deal of work behind the scenes to make it all happen and that was all thanks to the Amazae team. All of the vendors were well managed and timed perfectly. Every need was anticipated & every detail taken care of. The flow & timing of the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, cake cutting & party were exactly as we hoped. Everyone who attended had great things to say about the whole experience - especially how the Amazae team managed the entire day. The progress of the evening was so seamless that we never had to stop to address a service issue or deal with an awkward timing delay. From what I've heard from others, this is very unusual with any event involving so many vendors, service providers & guests over so many hours. This is a testament to the meticulous management of the evening by the Amazáe team as well as the many months of planning by the team leading up to the day to ensure that everything was perfectly prepared. It was a pleasure working with Crystal and her entire team for the past year and we're so grateful to them for really making our dream day come true.

Jennifer Breedevia Google I’ve had the pleasure of working with Crystal and her team on three separate occasions at PayPal Park with the San Jose Earthquakes. Crystal is professional, dedicated, and consistently goes above and beyond for her clients. Her attention to detail is truly unmatched, and her team’s thoughtful approach ensures that every vendor and event detail is managed seamlessly. We always enjoy working with Crystal and her team!

Tim and Jen Williamsvia Google We recently had the pleasure of working with Crystal as our wedding planner, and we cannot recommend her enough! From our very first meeting, we knew that we were in good hands. She listened carefully to our vision for our wedding day, and asked so many thoughtful questions to get to know us as a couple.
Throughout the planning process, Crystal and her assistant Kaila were always available to answer our questions and to offer their invaluable guidance when choosing our vendors and making many other decisions. They kept us on track with deadlines and helped us stay within my budget without sacrificing any of the details that were important to us. Crystal’s attention to detail and logistics was exceptional, and she thought of things that we never would have considered on our own. We also appreciated how big of an advocate Crystal was for us and the relationship she built with our wedding venue coordinator.
On the day of the wedding, Crystal was a true professional. She made sure that everything ran smoothly, and that all of our vendors were on the same page. She handled any issues that arose behind the scenes, so that we didn't have to worry about a thing. We was able to fully enjoy my wedding day, knowing that she had everything under control.
Overall, we are so grateful to Crystal for her expertise, professionalism, and kindness throughout the entire wedding planning process. She truly went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding day was everything we had dreamed of and more. If you're looking for a wedding planner who will make your big day stress-free and unforgettable, Crystal with Amazae Events is the one for you!

My husband and I had a 2-year engagement and we both thought that was PLENTY of time to plan our wedding on our own. We were wrong. After attempting to juggle all the work of researching venues, communicating with vendors, scheduling meetings, dress shopping, etc., we were burnt out and overwhelmed. We even contemplated eloping. Finally, we made the decision to hire a wedding planner and we NEVER looked back.
We did a ton of research on Bay Area event planners but with the recommendation of our venue, Casa Real, and our initial meeting with Amazae, we knew they were the one. The services they offered were EXACTLY what we were looking for: Event Design (to put our vision together) and Logistics/Coordination (to manage our vendors and coordinate on our wedding day). Most importantly, their team were total pros. They knew our venue inside and out, and had long-standing relationships with most of our vendors. We left our first meeting feeling SO relieved and also excited for what was to come.
We worked with Crystal on Event Design and were so impressed with what she came up with! I shared my Pinterest board of all my wedding inspo and she drafted a booklet of what our ceremony and reception would look like. She gave options for things to sign off on, telling us how much they would cost us, and her recommendations. It was so good to have someone do this research and all we had to do was make the decisions! The execution on the day of the wedding was FLAWLESS. It was 100x better than anything we or Pinterest could have come up with! We held back tears during the first look of our reception because we couldn’t believe how beautiful it turned out. It felt so romantic and elegant - everything we could have possibly dreamed of. Crystal is extremely talented and has an excellent eye for design. She is SO GOOD at what she does (words my husband and I said after every meeting!) and we couldn’t be happier with how she brought our vision to life!
For Logistics & Coordination, we worked with Caitlin and Amy. Prior to our wedding, Caitlin kept us on top of our deadlines and managed all of our vendors. This was a HUGE help because we no longer had to communicate with multiple vendors and remember payment dates - they took care of all of it! They were incredibly helpful during our final meetings with our venue and our rehearsal. On the day of the wedding, we had Caitlin, Amy, and Lisa as part of our day-of coordination team. Amy was with the bridal party and I for the entire day, and she had such a calming presence about her! Not once did I feel stressed or nervous. Her, Caitlin, and Lisa managed everything behind the scenes but kept it so calm, cool, and collected. They checked on us throughout our reception and made sure everything was flowing smoothly. At the end of the night, they handled packing everything up and let us enjoy celebrating with our family and friends. Without a doubt, they were the best team to have on our wedding day!
If you are questioning whether or not you need a wedding planner, my answer is YES and to go with Amazae! It truly felt like a wedding gift that we gave ourselves. We were able to enjoy the months leading up to our wedding and our actual wedding day because we were well taken care of. Would 10/10 recommend and use them again for any future events!

Neha Duggalvia Google I know this is a long read, but worth it!
This review has been a long time coming, and in the spirit of being grateful, I want to start with how grateful I am for the Amazae team.
I honestly don't even know where to begin as so many positive experiences run through my mind when I look back at my experience with Crystal, Caitlin, & the team at Amazae.
When my fiance and I got engaged, I knew that I needed the help of a talented team to help us execute our wedding weekend (We hired them for 3 events). We live in Sacramento and our wedding was in the bay area. On top of that, we had about 400 guests and I knew that having help was a necessity! My fiance let me take most of the reigns on the planning which I was very appreciative of (he had his 2 cents in the music and food, so everyone was happy). When I met with Amazae, there was an instant connection. And sure, part of that has to do with the chemistry of personalities, but more so, I felt heard, I was being asked the right questions, I saw that they understood my vision, and I could see that they were very able to execute. For someone like myself, who likes to have control over everything, feeling this comfortable to allow them to take the lead was a big deal. I also knew that in order for everything to be efficient, I had to be ok with them handling all the coordination, and I felt 100% secure with their team taking the planning into their own hands (though I'm sure I had a few "moments" of eagerness, they never made me feel like I was stepping on any toes).
Everything during the planning process was such a breeze on my end. I think we met a total of 4 times from start to end with few emails in between. In that time, we were able to review decor (minute details included), food, timeline, budget, deal breakers, etc. They handled all of the correspondence with every vendor and I hardly had to, if even at all, need to have any interaction. They coordinated EVERYTHING! I honestly feel as though having the Amazae as my team was the best investment I made for that whole weekend, such a blessing!
When it came to the wedding weekend. I was blown away with how smoothly everything went. If there was an issue, I never even knew about it. I wasn't stressed at all, which if you know me, you know how anxious I can get in these types of situations, so that was huge, and it's a testament to how comfortable I felt with their team. I was able to fully take in the day and that was very important to the whole experience (they even coordinated locations with my hair & make up team in the AM-- They're extra!). When I say they got my vision, that was the biggest understatement. The decor was UNBELIEVABLE it was so gorgeous. They even added some extra touches to detail that just amplified the space that much more. I literally cried when I walked into the ceremony and reception halls and couldn't believe how beautiful everything was. They literally made my wedding dreams come true, and the best part, was that they made it so easy, and so streamlined. Pure perfection. These images don't do justice to the space, however, everything about my experience with Crystal, Caitlin, and the rest of the team was effortless, breathtaking, and memorable. I am forever grateful and can honestly say I have found new friends with this process. Thank you Amazae!
