Benny & Blaire Events

ade sure to understand the vibe that we were going for and had a number of creative ideas that ended up being integral for our wedding. Brenda was very organized and timely; she helped sort out budgets, payments, timelines, and took care of a ton of things behind the scenes that I didn’t even know were needed. On the day of the wedding Brenda and Libby were essential in keeping things running smoothly. My husband and I were able to fully enjoy ourselves because they were the ones interacting with the vendors and tackling any issues that arose. Altogether is was a great experience and I am SO glad I found them. I wholeheartedly recommend Brenda and her team!

one. Many of the problems that came up we only found out about after she solved them! The other vendors loved working with her too. She helped us put together an incredible wedding and I cannot thank her enough. I would look no further and I will absolutely be calling her anytime I need party help!

ything about our wedding day was successful (and all the months and weeks leading up to it, too.) She handled the inevitable issues that come up during planning quickly and always avoided bringing problems to us - she just took care of them. We had a beautiful, stress-free wedding week and I truly don't know if we could have done it without Brenda's help. I would work with them again in a heartbeat!

e out on any deposits. I provided Brenda with pictures that I had envisioned the venue and day to look like and she brought it to life! They even did the florals for both our rehearsal lunch as well as day of ceremony/reception and set up the rehearsal tables and decor while we were at the venue. They went above and beyond anything we could have asked for! Day of the wedding was so smooth, we had 0 issues which as a bride it was a relief to know that Brenda and her team was there handling whatever might have come up. I would 100% recommend them for all your wedding needs. They are AWESOME and we owe everything to them!!

it comes to not only ascetically making your day look beautiful but go smoothly! Every idea I had was brought to life. Even if I didn’t know how to explain what I wanted, they brought it out. I can’t thank them enough for the time and thought spent into everything that they did! I used them for design as well as floral! AND they were able to source through their employees someone to assist with my rehearsal dinner. They truly were my right and left hand throughout this entire process! The expertise and time I was able to hand to them KNOWING how great it would turn out was well worth it! And it was better than imagined! Highly highly recommend!!!!!! Their work and personality is just as beautiful as it seems! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

nly helped us create the custom wedding we wanted but also went above and beyond in every way possible. Brenda is incredibly professional, organized, open-minded, intuitive, creative, thoughtful, and is well-loved by the vendor community (oh I could go on and on!!). No matter the challenge, as long as Brenda was tackling it, we trusted that she would sort it out. She deeply cares for her couples. We always felt like we were the only clients she was working with (and we knew in fact this was NOT true) No clue how she does this because I'm sure every couple working with her feels this way! If I were to re-do the wedding planning experience I would have hired Brenda as our planner from the start. I didn't because she wasn't familiar with our families' wedding customs. However, she rocked it. We're still getting compliments about our wedding which wouldn't have been possible without her.

care of it all! She helped us with vendors and did a beautiful job on our flowers! Do yourself and your family a favor and hire Brenda & Libby, you will be so happy that you did!

r $ to stay on budget, recommended amazing vendors, then took care of all communication with the venue and coordinated the setup with all vendors on the big day. We’re so grateful for Libby and Brenda’s help in making our wedding day go beautifully and w/o a hitch! We got to enjoy the night with our guests and Brenda’s organization and timeline she prepared more than a month before the wedding helped everything run smooth. They’re down-to-earth and super friendly. We would recommend them to any of my friends or family.

ing to postpone our wedding twice, they were with us every step of the way for three whole years and truly made wedding planning not only fun, but easy! Brenda is so unbelievably organized and thinks of literally EVERYTHING, so you will never have to worry that something won't get done, or a question won't get addressed. She allowed us to be creative in our planning process, but guided us when it came to budget, insights and expert advice. Brenda and Libby were not only incredibly helpful leading up to the wedding, but they were crucial the day of. They took care of everything, so that I was able to just enjoy each and every moment with my husband, family and friends. They truly went above and beyond to make the day perfect and I wish I could relive it a million times over. I 100% would recommend them.

every step of the way and extremely open to feedback and easy to work with. Every one of her contacts/vendors were spot on with the vision my daughter had for her wedding and it truly ended up being the memory of a lifetime and a huge success. Her assistant Libby was her "wingman" throughout the actual wedding day and a delight as well. We didn't have to worry about a thing as they were there onsite to deal with any issues that may have come up; true wedding pros! We shall miss her as we developed quite a friendship throughout the whole process. 5 stars for Brenda!! :)

iately fell in love with her. Through our COVID-era wedding postponement, reschedule, and eventual La Jolla-based wedding celebration, Brenda stuck with us with genuine good vibes. She was always a bright light to create with, and helped us make the most 'us' wedding we could have hoped for. She knew exactly which vendors to grab for the vision we had in mind, down to our now star videographer TWO WEEKS prior...I don't think it's possible to express how valuable and valued Brenda was for our wedding. We met Libby the night of the wedding as well and I wish I'd gotten to have her as a buddy the whole time too! What wonderful, hard working, kind, resourceful, creative humans! All this to say, you will leave your planning experience with a true friend. We love you Brenda!

st five minutes of meeting her. Nearly every picture I showed her was a wedding she had done. She knew every vendor. She went above and beyond. Any vision I had in my head she was able to magically interpret and produce. While trying to decide on a florist-and seeing her talent-I asked her to do our flowers as well. The end result was magical. I love her and her team and we will forever be indebted to her for her kind heart and amazing aesthetic style. Don't look at anyone else. Hire her!

so stressful (especially during a pandemic) however they provided me with support, communication with vendors and timelines for myself and bridal party.

ng the planning process, Brenda was a rockstar. She kept me on track and level headed, as I was starting a very demanding new job AND in the midst of moving during the planning of this behemoth of a wedding. From her vendor recommendations to her ability to call out details, that would have been easily overlooked by anyone else (e.g. she had the BRILLIANT idea to paint our marketlight poles black instead of leaving them silver), Brenda’s value is evident; extensive knowledge of the industry, attention to detail and out-of-the-box thinking!!! I can’t get over how glad I am that we painted those poles (LOL, but truly made such a noticeable difference). Additionally, you just can’t ask for better people to work with. Brenda is so much fun to be around and refreshingly straight-forward. It’s clear that she had our best interests in mind. She’ll have your back and go to bat for you if she needs to! Her team (Libby & I'm blanking on the other womens name!) were so sweet and accommodating, too. For lack of better words, they embodied the positive, calming energy you need on such a busy, hectic day. I didn’t lift a finger on the day of my wedding. Brenda and team handled everything with the utmost grace. All smiles, reassurance and willingness to help with any task at hand. THANK YOU!!!

all perfect, in no small part thanks to their organization, expertise, and connections. Libby was easy to work with and professional at every turn.

ng of our wedding, and it was raining! Libby made sure there was a back up plan and that we were aware of the plan. The whole day went so smoothly and we did not have to worry about a thing! They made sure everything stayed on schedule and kept us informed throughout the day on what was coming next. All our decor was set up beautifully, and at the end of the night everything was nicely packed and set aside for easy pick up. They even jumped in to help my 4 year old niece when she got water spilled on her! Leading up the the wedding, Libby was great. She checked in periodically, and kept us up to date on what she was doing and what she still needed from us. Having Libby to confirm vendors and provide them with instructions for the wedding day was priceless, and decreased our stress level immensely! Thank you!

he provided us with so much more! Brend exceeded all of our expectations from day one. She was so easy to work with and was always so accommodating. From sharing her industry connections, managing vendors, and providing quick tips/suggestions, to ensuring the entire weekend ran smoothly, and all the last minute details were in order, she did it all! (Keep in mind, Brenda did all of this with a toddler and a newborn baby. I'm not kidding when I tell you she is the real MVP!) I can honestly say that our wedding day was absolutely stress free because of Brenda and her assistant Libby. They are so organized and efficient that they helped my sister pull off the huge surprise of having Chinese Lion Dancers and Taiko drummers perform at our wedding. How she managed this, I will never know, but I'm eternally grateful! The amount of work they do behind the scenes is priceless. What I love most about this team is their dedication and commitment to helping make your wedding/event reflect YOUR vision. Not only did Brenda and Libby ensure we had the best night of our lives, they also took it upon themselves to ensure all of our guests were taken care of. They blended in seamlessly and could not have made both our local and international friends and family feel more at home. Our guests could not stop raving about how fabulous, hard working, organized, and kind they both were. If you're looking for a coordinator, Benny & Blaire is your team! They will go above and beyond and make your event planning experience stress free and shockingly enjoyable! And I'm honored to say we had the opportunity to meet and work with two strong, motivated, and genuine women in the process! We will always be Team Benny & Blaire!

any slight details and always keeping our dream day in mind. She started with the perfect list of vendors to fit our taste and needs to finishing with a perfect execution the day of while always keeping us both calm and collected along the way. She also added personal touches and surprises for my husband and I to truly enjoy and take in our wedding day. I would recommend Brenda and her team to anyone who wants to have the perfect wedding day!!!

It was the wedding of my absolute dreams. From the flowers to the centerpieces with me only giving ideas of what I wanted, it was better than I had even dreamt of. I couldn’t imagine that day and how amazing it was without her. Thank you so much for everything and making that day by far the most special day of my life 💜

e bad and she is always solution driven. She bends over backward for her clients, and I could not be more thankful for her support. She truly does know this industry and set my now husband and I up with some of the best vendors for our space. I know she’ll read this, so love you big time girlfriend. Wouldn’t have been perfect without you and that small but mighty team you’ve got. Xx

from becoming a bridezilla!!! No matter what we needed , no matter how silly our questions or requests were she always went above and beyond to honor them. When we had a few glitches happen, she was on it immediately and problems were solved!! The wedding and reception were gorgeous! Our guests are still talking about how beautiful it was and how much fun they had. Brenda will start off as your wedding planner but will instantly become your friend!! ❤️❤️ You Brenda!!

r husband that was beyond words. From the start you kept us organized your vision was spot on but most of all you made this family dream come true. Brenda, a parents dream is to make sure their children are healthy, respectful, successful but most of all happy and we can tell you that looking at our kids on one of the most important days in their lives, they were truly happy. Planning a destination wedding is not easy but it was for us because we had Brenda by our side the whole way. For anyone out there reading through review after review on all the different planners out there please stop at this review and know that you will not be disappointed. You will be so happy you have chosen Benny & Blair but you will be also sad knowing that everything comes to an end and your special day is over. You realize that you made wonderful friendships with amazing people. You mostly hear how planning a wedding is so stressful but planning from our perspective, it was easy thanks to partnering with Brenda she made everything flow perfectly. No stress here! Brenda, we thank you and your team for everything you did to make our dreams come true. God Bless,

went through some very serious issues with my sister diagnosed with cancer three weeks before the wedding and these girls jumped right in and took the reigns and helped me with EVERYthing before the wedding to the point where I just walked in on my wedding day and was blown away! I couldn’t be more thankful for them and everything they did for me. The day of the wedding was seamless! Seriously the best wedding coordinators! HIGHLY highly recommend this team, love them so much!

& Blaire Events) helped us plan our wedding down to a “t” from start to finish. She helped us find the most amazing vendors, help us design our dream wedding, helped us stay within our budget and so much more during the year planning process. She made our dream wedding come to life! The day of the wedding could not have gone smoother, or better (I’ve been in a few weddings and usually things come up the day of!) and luckily in our case everything went perfectly, thanks to Brenda and her team! I would HIGHLY recommend Benny & Blaire Events to any and all brides, wedding planning can be a very stressful thing and you only have a limited time of being engaged so make that time as stress free as possible!

g planning and she was able to educate us step by step, giving honest suggestions to ensure we had the greatest wedding possible. Brenda handled every vendor contract, communicated with them, and allowed us to be able to sit back and enjoy the process. When things got difficult, she was able to talk us through the process and help us stay centered in what mattered, the wedding. Brenda is highly organized, professional, and respected in the industry. My family and vendors loved working with her. Our wedding was absolute perfection from start to finish, because of her. Every vendor was on time, every detail was present, and she made sure that we were able to enjoy the entire wedding by keeping things on time, making sure we took quality time to sit down and enjoy the day, and treating us like VIP's the entire day. We're sad that the wedding is over because we loved working with her so much! I'd recommend her to any bride, local to San Diego or traveling. We got married in Indio (Palm Springs area) and she was fantastic traveling.

all the details to ensure the day went smoothly. We are so grateful.

planning, the days leading up to the event and the day of the big day go seamlessly and that no detail goes unnoticed. She left no unanswered questions and made sure the venue, and all of the vendors were all on the same page. Our big day was a BLAST! And I wasn’t the least bit stressed. (Nervous yes lol) I cannot recommend her services enough. Thank you, Brenda for your outstanding work. You are SO good at what you do!!!

everything, and made the whole process so convenient and easy. I highly recommend Benny and Blaire Events!

rs, and many other things. Hiring the vendors was so much easier because we did not have to search for them, get referrals, etc. And then, because she had relationships with the vendors, I feel we got better service. Wow! I did not realize the value of a wedding planner until now. She was worth way more than we paid for her wonderful services. Thank you!!!

so worth hiring this Company.

etail-oriented. She is also very creative and has a great eye for bringing everything together. Brenda is incredibly responsive and really made us feel like we were her only client! She gave us honest opinions and great recommendations every step of the way without ever being pushy. We ended up using almost all of Brenda's vendor recommendations and each one was perfect (from florist to photographer to bakery to rentals and more!) Brenda's relaxed demeanor set the perfect tone during planning and kept us calm on the wedding day. I really trusted Brenda's ideas and recommendations which helped me make decisions much more quickly and easily! Our wedding day was better than we ever could have imagined. Knowing Brenda had the timeline, details, and vendors under control let us truly relax, have fun, and enjoy the day. It also let my mom and sister do the same since they knew everything was completely handled by Brenda. Overall, I can't recommend Brenda enough. She is so sweet and really became a friend and part of the family!

based on my pinterest boards and conversations, and even suggest ideas that I hadn't thought of. She kept me on budget, sane, and stress-free. I would hands-down hire her again in a heartbeat, I'm trying to think of ways/excuses to work with her again just because it was so fun and easy. P.S. her fee was below average for planners I interviewed and she more than made up the difference in savings she found me. If you're worried about budget/money, HIRE HER because she will more than SAVE you money overall. She is worth way more than she charges!!!

d after my wedding he admitted that hiring Brenda was the best decision we made during the wedding process. She may be small, but this girl takes charge and gets the job done! The day before my wedding my mom was starting to panic because my venue was cluttered with knick knacks from past weddings that we thought would be cleaned up by the time we arrived. Brenda reassured us that she would take care of it & I swear, the venue should have paid HER for the spring cleaning she did the morning of my wedding. She made the day stress-free for me & my family and we were able to enjoy every minute because we trusted Brenda with everything. The wedding flowed perfectly & she made sure me & my husband were fed & well boozed during the reception, which we especially appreciated. When we got back to our honeymoon suite we had a perfectly organized pile of gifts in the corner, our flowers next to our bed and votive's with candles on the nightstands. It was like the wedding fairies (Brenda & her darling assistant, in this case) visited while we were dancing the night away. Thank you Brenda, we are forever grateful for you <3

Luckily, we were introduced to Benny & Blaire and worked exclusively with Katey as our coordinator. Katey was able to take our vision of what we wanted our wedding to be and she executed it. We truly appreciated her organization, communication, and attention detail. We could not have been more happy with the investment to hire this team and how they were able to make our dream wedding a reality. If anyone is undecided on whether or not they should hire a coordinator....make the decision and choose this team. It will be the best investment you make for your big day. s

rofessional and fun manner we could have ever thought possible!!

k out of it and just left the fun decisions to me. Anything that I left up to her to coordinate was done expertly and I literally had no stress throughout the process. I couldn't have done it without her!

family is. Obviously, this was very stressful for my daughter, but Brenda was always available to assist her and take away the stress of handling things. Brenda kept her on track and provided suggestions when my daughter needed help. We used several of her referrals (photographer, DJ, tailor, and florist). They were all excellent, I couldn't ask for a more beautiful wedding. Thank you, Brenda!

ded! On our wedding day, we didn't have to worry about a thing because we were so confident that Brenda and her team would do everything they could to make the day go off without a hitch...and they did! Our day was perfect. I HIGHLY recommend you hire Brenda and her team!

happen. The day of, I was able to relax and just enjoy the moment while Brenda had everything organized! I had guest tell me how much they loved the flow of our wedding, again all from Brenda's doing. I highly recommend using Benny & Blaire for all your events.

thing. I was an out of state bride, and I am so glad we trusted her because 0ur wedding day was truly the most beautiful, best day thanks to Brenda! Brenda also has the best team of vendors she works with. My advice if working with Brenda, is to just trust her because she definitely knows what she's doing! Brenda gave us a perfect wedding and I am soon grateful for her!! I can not thank her enough and her team enough!!!

ic, and I had a blast working with you. You gave me such good advice and guided me through the entire process. Any questions I had, you answered no matter what time or day. You made my wedding something I will never forget. I highly recommend working with Benny & Blaire Events!

alking about how absolutely perfect the entire day was. Everything flowed seamlessly- if there was a problem or a snafu that happened I have no idea because Brenda was there to take care of it. Having a schedule and all our vendors on the same page was huge to making the day such a success. Brenda went above and beyond to make our day perfect. I can't thank you enough for an absolutely perfect and unforgettable day!

magical! Much gratitude from both families. We are truly going to miss working with you Brenda. We hope to run into you around town. XXX

nd went over our timeline. Brenda is very personable and I loved how she took time to get to know both my husband and I. She covered all the details, I didn't even have to worry about everything, it was all under control. The day of the wedding was super stress free, I completely 100 percent trusted Brenda and her apprentice and everything turned out better than I could have ever expected. I would absolutely hire her again :) Best wedding planner ever

y-of coordinator was her biggest regret, that I started to take the idea seriously. And as it turns out, Brenda practically paid for herself! She saved me a $300 flower delivery fee, at least a couple hundred off the DJ, and she has countless other connections in the industry for things like rentals, photo booths, etc. In addition to being one of the sweetest people I worked with, Brenda was punctual, detail-oriented, kept me on task, and educated me about wedding day traditions and norms. Having her vast amount of knowledge went a long way. She built a detailed timeline of every single activity from the rehearsal dinner, all the way to the after party. I really can’t imagine my day without her and her assistant, Abbey. How in the world could I have set up all of the decorations on my own, paid attention to the time, herded guests and family members to the correct locations for pictures, and cleaned up the entire venue before rushing off to our after party? Answer: I couldn’t. Brenda - You are amazing. Thank you so much for the indispensable role you played in our special day. You are worth so much more than you charge, but I have to thank you for being so reasonable, otherwise I might not have ever met you!
