"Chilou, thank you so much for everything that you've done for our special day! Everything was absolutely PERFECT... we didn't have to worry about a thing, and we're certain that we couldn't have done it without you. Your referral for flowers, Melissa from Bloominaire, did such an amazing job. We gave her almost no direction, and she completely blew us away with her designs. And with all the hiccups that we had in trying to arrange things with the venue, we were incredibly grateful to have you by our side. Having you as our wedding planner gave us a chance to not only have the perfect wedding, but to enjoy every minute of it as well. We can't possibly thank you enough! We'll be referring people to you whenever we have the chance."

Rachel and John

"You always
go 'above and beyond' to
help create a 'perfect day'..."

"...everything was just how
I hoped it
would be."

"She was patient, professional, organized, willing
to help in any way and
kept us on
our timeline
so that we got all of our projects completed..."

"We both agreed that you performed the best service of any wedding we have ever attended or participated in. We will certainly recommend you to our friends."

"She is very professional
and easy to work with. Chilou
helped make our
wedding day a
huge success."

"Everything went exactly
as planned, which allowed us to really relax and enjoy ourselves."

"We just want to thank you again
for providing
such a personal,
professional and
well organized
ceremony."

"We still hear about how
much fun everyone had."

"Cheerful, dependable, organized. We will definitely recommend you to our family and friends and we look forward to many more events in the future!!"

"She's the best investment I made in the process of my wedding planning !!"

"She's professional, supportive, and a delight to work with !!"

"During our wedding day she was SUPER WOMAN!!!!!"

"We were in awe and speechless."

"...it was a blessing to have her take part in my wedding day."

"She follows her own intuition of what type of person you are "

"Chilou was right there to troubleshoot the small hiccups that came up and she did it with such grace and poise."

"We didn't have to worry about anything at all because we knew we were in good hands."

"She was the backbone that held our whole entire wedding together."

"She took in all of my scrambled ideas and visions, and organized them for me."

"If I didn't have Chilou, I probably would've had a heart attack."

"She's professional, approachable, a lifesaver, a troubleshooter, and now our friend."

"Your knowledge and professionalism was very evident from our first consultation together."

"She remembered every little tiny detail that I would barely mention, and she not once left anything out."

"She is able to make the appropriate suggestions that fit your own tastes."

"There is no problem big enough to faze her and she was able to fix all the sticky situations that popped up."

"She was so organized and professional - I LOVED THAT!!!"

"She worked with our many ideas and made them even better."

"...to see it come together meant a lot to us!"

"We thought your service was excellent!"

"Chilou helped make our wedding day a huge success."

"The best part was knowing that everything was going smoothly because of you."

"Chilou was right there to calm us down and take some of the weight off of our shoulders."

"She helped me from start to finish."

"Chilou had all the answers before I came up with the question..."

“I am the type of person who thought that if I planned things accordingly that I would be able to plan our wedding exactly the way I envisioned it. But as time went, many ideas started to run through my mind. I would speak with my good friend; who happened to be our florist; and recommended that I look into a wedding coordinator. She then referred Chilou. I can only say that it was the BEST idea!!!

We went on to meet Chilou and her friendly personality and expertise came across to the point that we decided on the spot that we wanted her to coordinate our wedding. We hired her for the month-of planning but the prior months she was more than willing to assist us with any planning, gave great recommendations, and referred us to other vendors as well. I know that we were difficult as well because both Xavier and I had secrets and surprises for the big day but again she managed to work things out where neither one of us knew that there was some side planning going on. Chilou truly put us at ease.

Chilou, we cannot express how grateful we are for your expert planning of our wedding. We consider ourselves blessed to have had the privilege with working with someone who translated our vision with such style, grace, and professionalism. EVERY detail exceeded our expectations and our guest were thoroughly impressed with your talents. We sincerely thank you for making our wedding day a dream come true!”

Ann and Xavier

“My husband and I decided to hire a wedding coordinator to take some stress off our shoulders and to help us out with the planning. As a bride I envision my wedding as being "Perfect" but I had no idea were to start. Chilou was recommended by my sister in law and so we contacted Chilou to set up a meeting. Our first contact with Chilou was more of an interview an a feeling out process. Chilou offered us many different packages and options to accommodate us. Chilou was well organized, experience and friendly when presenting what she had o offer us. As a bride, Chilou made me feel comfortable and so I knew that I can trust her to be a big part of my BIG DAY.

Chilou is an amazing woman. My husband and I wouldn't know what we would have done with her. Chilou was on top of her game. Chilou called all the vendors to make sure all the details were taken care of and made sure the vendors were on time. Chilou even had a detailed itinerary for myself, my husband and the wedding party which was Awesome. Chilou is very professional, positive attitude and handled stress very well. The ceremony and reception went smoothly and on time especially Dealing with 300 and more guest.

As a bride who worries so much, she made my big day the most memorable, special day of my life. I was stress free and it felt so good.

Thank you so much Chilou for all your hard work and dedication. Our wedding turned out beautiful and it was a "Dream Wedding" that came true for us. ”

Dimple and Don

“When the wedding planning started, I thought I could do it all! My husband and I already knew what church and venue the services would be held at. Those were the hardest things to decide on so once those were set, I was sure it was smooth sailing from there….Boy was I wrong! I turned to Chilou when I realized there were a million and one more things that went along with planning a wedding! From our VERY first consultation, I knew I HAD TO HAVE HER! From the details to the communication with all my vendors, she DID IT ALL! Chilou holds herself in a very professional manner and the organization skills she carries are out of this world! She absolutely brought my dream wedding to life! Looking back on my wedding day, I can honestly say my husband and I were totally stress free from beginning to end. What couple wouldn’t want that on the biggest day of their lives? Chilou practically handed it to us and we’re still hearing about what a beautiful and fun wedding we had! Those comments are priceless! Thank You Chilou for making my wedding day feel like a true dream come true!”

Stacy and Chris

“When I started planning my wedding 2 years before the wedding, I figured I had plenty of time to plan and get everything in order that I probably wouldn't need a coordinator. I decided about a year before the wedding that I didn't want to run around and make sure everything ran smoothly the day of the wedding. I hired Chilou as my coordinator just to have her make things run smoothly the day of the wedding.

I was extremely surprised the month of the wedding of how much went into planning my perfect day. I completely forgot about all the small things, she even drafted up a schedule for the day of, bridal party, vendors, and summary for my MOH and BM. She made sure she got every single detail down to the "T" and also contacted all my vendors so I didn't have to.

She was so kind as to dealing with a horrible vendor and did everything she could to make sure this vendor would show up at my wedding. She gave me advice and kept me grounded the week of the wedding! She truly was a lifesaver in ensuring that the wedding turned out beautifully.

Thanks Chilou!! You truly gave me my fairytale ending without the stress!!!”

Christine and Jack

“I had eleven months to plan out my wedding. I thought there was going to be nothing to it…was I wrong. Thank goodness we ran into Chilou at the Bridal Event at Bridges Golf Club in San Ramon. After finding out that she plans wedding events, we decided to seek out her services. We knew how important this day was to us, and we wanted to make sure everything went as smooth as possible. Chilou made sure that everything went perfectly as planned…and it did. Everything was beautiful: the ceremony, the photo shoot, the cocktail hour (according to the guests), and the reception setup. Thanks Chilou for all your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Jennifer and John

“We met with Chilou about a year before our wedding. She was very professional and we felt really comfortable around her. After our initial consultation, we decided to put our trust in her to coordinate our wedding. At that time, we had no idea of how great a decision we had made in choosing her as our "month of" wedding coordinator.

At our second meeting with Chilou a month before our wedding, she was very thorough and went through every detail, from the rehearsal all the way to the end of the reception. Afterwards, we were amazed at how quickly she had contacted all of our vendors. She really took a load off of our shoulders and made it possible for us to concentrate on other things we needed to take care of. She did a phenomenal job of keeping us updated with all the communication that went on between her and our vendors. She even got us an upgrade for our limo!

On our wedding day, Chilou made sure we stayed on schedule. Not once did we ever fall behind. During our reception, we received many compliments of how smooth everything was running. It delighted us to know that we made the right decision in putting our trust in Chilou.

We are ever so grateful for everything she's done for us. She really played an integral part in making our wedding day unforgettable. ”

Suzanne and Bernie

“Francis and I cannot even begin to articulate how valuable your help was throughout the entire wedding process and most especially, during our special day. You took the time to listen to our vision and you put in a great amount of effort and dedication in order to help us bring that dream to reality. It was great to know that we had someone to turn to for advice during such a stressful time! What we appreciate most was we were able to put all our trust in you; Chilou, you are awesome! Francis and I look back on that day and have such happy memories—THANK YOU for EVERYTHING!”

Rebecca and Francis

“Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! I can't say enough about fabulous you are! Nilo and I wouldn't have had the amazing wedding we did without your help and expertise! You were such an unbelievable help. We loved every minute of the day and I just don't know what we would have done without you. I was so busy with work these past few weeks and it was so nice knowing that you were supporting me during the planning process and making sure that everything was getting done. I never would have thought of all the littlest details that you planned and coordinated .You were such a joy to work with and very comforting to me in my stressful moments. You were an absolute pleasure to work with and made all of the planning go so smoothly. Once again, thank you for all you did to help us create a beautiful day that we (and everyone else) loved! You are amazing!!!! ”

Vanessa and Nilo

“It was a pleasure to have you as our wedding coordinator. You really did make our wedding stressful and most of all memorable. Thank you sooo much for all the hard work you did for our wedding. ”

Niza and Enrique

“Without the help of Chilou, our wedding would not have ran as smooth as it did. She was always quick to respond to any issues that arose while planning the wedding. She was very reliable, and we would recommend her to anyone planning an event. ”

Pearl and Anthony

“Chilou, THANK YOU so much for all your help before and especially during our wedding. Everything went exactly as planned, which allowed us to really relax and enjoy ourselves. You always go "above and beyond" to help create a "perfect day" not only for our wedding, but for our baby shower as well. Cheerful, dependable, organized. We will definitely recommend you to our family and friends and we look forward to many more events in the future!!”

Ruchille and Jonnathan

“We had such a wonderful time at our wedding reception. We still hear about how much fun everyone had. I loved how everything looked and how all the table settings were placed. The guest check-in area with the guest book looked fantastic and everything was just how I hoped it would be. I couldn't have asked for anything more. The best part was knowing that everything was going smoothly because of you. If anything went awry, I had no idea! I was blissfully unaware, which is exactly how it should be!

When we first met with Chilou, I was a little overwhelmed and stressed, but she put me at ease right away. At the time that we called her, I thought I was "super wedding planner" and could handle everything. I quickly learned that I couldn't. Chilou took over all the final details and was phenomenal. She was patient, professional, organized, willing to help in any way and kept us on our timeline so that we got all of our projects completed the week before the wedding. The day of our wedding, Chilou was at the church making sure every detail was accounted for and as soon as I made my way down the aisle, she was off to the reception site to make sure everything was perfect...and it was. We honestly did nothing during the reception, except enjoy ourselves and all of our guests. Chilou is a lifesaver and without her, I'm not sure we could have pulled off such an amazing day. We started out with a wedding coordinator, and ended up with a truly lovely friend.”

Anna Lisa and Darvin

“We had a great experience with our wedding planner. Chilou made herself available to us whenever we needed her. She answered all of our questions and concerns whether it pertained to our invitations, the flowers, the ceremony, the reception site and much, much more. She provided us with specific tasks that we had to complete and she organized them very clearly on a timeline, which we found very helpful. She is very professional and easy to work with. Chilou helped make our wedding day a huge success.”

Joylene and Ryan

“My husband and I are writing to thank you for making our wedding go so smoothly. All your recommendations were great! We both agreed that you performed the best service of any wedding we have ever attended or participated in. We will certainly recommend you to our friends. We just want to thank you again for providing such a personal, professional and well organized ceremony. We were dealt with in a very timely manner. You were so patient even after the loads of phone calls. We thought your service was excellent! I would send every little question through email and would have a response usually within a few hours. The wedding day came, and I couldn't have asked for more!”

Marianne and Marcelo

"I was the type of bride who hated dealing with planning out the 'small things'.  Chilou was such an amazing person to work with.  She follows her own intuition of what type of person you are, and from that she is able to make the appropriate suggestions that fits your own tastes. Any time I had a question about vendors or even just ideas-she was always right there to answer them.  She was there at our wedding not just as a guest, but also as our 'day of' planner.  We didn't have to worry about anything at all because we knew we were in good hands.  She was there to tie up all the loose ends and made sure everything ran in a smooth and timely manner. And she was so organized and professional- I LOVED THAT!!! Thanks for all your hard work Chilou, we truly appreciate it!!!!"

Jennifer and Christopher

“Chilou, Thank you for all of your assistance provided prior and on the day of Lauryn's 4th birthday party. Your knowledge and professionalism was very evident from our first consultation together and carried through into Lauryn's special event. Knowing that you were there to oversee everything put me at ease. My husband and I will definitely hire you again!"

The Dalisays

“IF THERE'S ONE ADVICE I COULD GIVE ABOUT PLANNING/HAVING A WEDDING, THAT WOULD BE CHILOU....My husband and I have planned events before and weren't too sure about hiring additional help, but THANK GOD we did!! During the planning process, Chilou contacted our vendors and made sure we were on top of things. Everything was organized and planned accordingly.  All the hard work Chilou did, showed as my husband and I entered our reception hall. We were in awe and speechless. Chilou was able to capture our vision and feel for our wedding, had PERFECT timing for the program, and the most important thing is that we HAD SOOO MUCH FUN and were STRESS FREE.  Our wedding wouldn't have been a success without her. She's professional, approachable, a lifesaver,  a troubleshooter, and now our friend.  THANKS SOOO MUCH CHILOU and we will definitely recommend you to our family and friends!! ”

Cyrill and Edward

“As a mother of two, I thought I was one of those brides who could plan her own wedding. Boy was I mistaken!!!  I know, I know... Birthday parties and weddings are two totally different beasts as far planning goes. But I had so many ideas and I felt like my visions were so untraditional that I thought I was the only one who could execute the final product. Once again, I was sadly mistaken.

After the first conversation with Chilou, I realized I had no idea how to even begin to plan my wedding. Even though I only hired her for the "day of" planner package, she helped me from start to finish. At one point during the reception,  she even ran in flip flops and a dress straight across a field of grass in order for things to go as planned! Needless to say, she totally went above and beyond. She took in all of my scrambled ideas and visions, and organized them for me. With her handy notebook and pen, she remembered every little tiny detail that I would barely mention, and she not once left anything out. She even had cute printouts of our ceremony with adorable little people pictures! She kept her cool, stayed positive and supported me when I was a total stressed out bridezilla.  She was the backbone that held our entire wedding together. Thanks so much Chilou!!!! ”

Leilana and Eric

“My husband and I wouldn’t know what we would have done without Chilou. She was the first planner I interviewed and after our initial consultation, I knew she was the one and that I didn't need to look any further.  

I don't know what I would have done without her. Chilou has such a great attitude and personality. There is no problem big enough to faze her and she was able to fix all the sticky situations that popped up.  She dealt with all the vendors and the day was better than I could have ever imagined.

Folks weren't kidding when they told me that something MUST go wrong in every wedding.  If I didn't have Chilou, I probably would have had a heart attack.  In retrospect, I should have hired her for the whole shebang instead of just the day-of.  Our wedding was wonderful, but I could have saved myself many a headache during the planning phase had I had more help from her. Kudos for Chilou!!”

JoAn and Fredo

“We called Chilou right after we got engaged because we knew how great of a>wedding coordinator she is, and she was with us every step of the way.  She’s professional, supportive, and a delight to work with!!! During the planning stages, she asks the right questions still giving us the control to do what we want, yet steers us making good, sound decisions. She worked with our many ideas and made them even better.  And when our date got closer and things got a bit overwhelming for us, Chilou was right there to calm us down and take some of the weight off of our shoulders. 

During our wedding day she was SUPER WOMAN!!!! Chilou set it up so that we would be able to see our reception site all set up before any of the guests entered and the place looked so AMAZING, better than we could have ever imagined.  Chilou and her staff did a PHENOMENAL job in putting together all the pieces and to see it come together meant a lot to us! Throughout the night Chilou was right there to troubleshoot the small hiccups that came up and she did it with such grace and poise.  We were truly impressed on her expertise because everything was under control! Leaving us to enjoy our special day. 

For future brides out there… trust in Events by Chilou to help carry out your plans and you’ll be in wonderfully capable hands. Chilou- Thank You is not enough with how much you’ve helped us!!!  We couldn’t have done it without you!"

Melissa and Geoffrey

"Chilou is my arm and leg! She's the best investment I made in the process of my wedding planning. She was very understanding and knows exactly what to say to help me get myself back together when I'm distressed. I did not have to worry at all on the day of my wedding because she convinced me that everything would work smoothly as promised. She did not lie. Everyone at my wedding said the wedding was perfect, over the top, very organized, beautiful, the best, and the list goes on. Thanks to Chilou my wedding day was "perfect". Everything was so much better than what I had imagined! I LOVE HER to death and I can say that it was a blessing to have her take part in my wedding day. Thanks Chilou!!!!!"

Eileen and Eugene

"Chilou is an absolute GODSEND. We planned all the different parts of our wedding, and the month of, Chilou put all those parts together for us. She relieved much of the stress off our shoulders so we were able to enjoy the weeks and days before the wedding, and more importantly every minute of our special day. I did not have to call the reception site or any of my vendors not even once during the month of. Chilou had all the answers even before I came up with the question, and that speaks alot  (if you've ever met me, I always have a question!). She even helped  us make final decisions when we needed a mediator! She listens and delivers. I can't imagine anyone more organized, even-keeled, and supportive during what can be a very stressful time. She's worth every penny."

Herrick- "relaxed bride=relaxed groom."
