Testimonials

we love what we do and it shows.
Here’s what our clients are saying about us.

the destination wedding of our dreams

Vanessa has an incredibly keen eye for creativity.  She had such patience with my wife and I seamlessly balanced our financial budget with what we desired.  She made the decision-making process so easy and guided us through each planning stage of our wedding with effortless organization.  She treated us with refreshing kindness and empathy, and quickly responded to all our questions and ideas.  We could not have been more pleased with the way she organized and truly created the destination wedding of our dreams on the sandy beaches of Puerto Vallarta, MX.

artistic and beautiful solutions for everything

Our board was really struggling with trying to handle event planning for our new organization.  Vanessa stepped in and secured venues which fit our needs and budget, presenting artistic and beautiful solutions for everything from invitations to décor.  She truly has a gift for planning social events, and the ability to do so calmly, quickly, professionally and seemingly effortlessly.  Given my experience, I can tell you that she will organize a wonderful event, and her assistance will alleviate your stress immediately.

Fausta - Del Mar, CA

Vanessa was flawless

I have years of event planning experience, but on our big day, I wanted someone else to be in charge so I could enjoy my day and not worry about questions or details. Vanessa was flawless. I communicated a years’ worth of planning to her before the wedding, and she confidently took over and handled everything with an attention to detail that was impeccable. She was a calming, reliable presence throughout the entire day, allowing me to live in the moment and not have to answer any questions about logistics, timing, tips, where anything should go, etc. I would absolutely recommend Vanessa.

Alysse - San Diego, CA

stress-free and beautiful

I used Amicus Events to plan a bridal shower in the summer of 2018 and could not have been more pleased. From beginning to end, Vanessa was so organized and had everything under control, making the experience stress-free. Vanessa is so sweet, she’s a pleasure to work with, and a professional. I had complete faith that she would throw a beautiful event and she did not disappoint. I highly recommend!

Katherine - Rancho Santa Fe, CA

executed flawlessly and exceeded expectations

Vanessa has planned and coordinated multiple events for me, including my own bridal shower and baby shower.  Vanessa’s creative vision for each event was executed flawlessly and exceeded my expectations.  She was meticulous about every detail, which made each event personal and memorable.  I received so many compliments on the personalized touches and the beautiful décor at each event Vanessa planned and designed for me.  I would highly recommend Vanessa at Amicus Events!

Elizabeth - Camarillo, CA

every last detail was thoughtful and beautiful

I enlisted Vanessa to plan a bridal shower and then a baby shower, and I was blown away by each event. I left all the creative decisions to Vanessa for both events, and I am so glad I did. Every last detail was thoughtful and beautiful. The events went off without a hitch. I had a very blurry vision of what I wanted for the shower and she went above and beyond. I can’t wait to work with Vanessa again!

Casey - Del Mar, CA

friends and family were breathless

The night looked and felt exactly the way we pictured it in our minds – exactly the way we dreamed it would be. All of our friends and family were breathless when they saw the venue and got to take it all in. It was extraordinary and just the way we wanted it to be.
