  • Surraya Events Wow-ed Us & Our Guests

    Verified review
    Corinne and F.5 months ago

    Working with Surraya Events for our Santa Barbara wedding was truly incredible! Among the many planners we met, Natalie just instantly clicked with us. Natalie’s design expertise is indeed top-notch. We aimed for our wedding to exude uniqueness and fun, and she effortlessly translated our vision into a timeless and authentic reflection of us. Her knowledge of Santa Barbara, coupled with her honesty regarding where to invest and where to save, proved to be a game-changer in navigating the pricey wedding scene. For us, establishing a genuine connection and truly understanding us as a couple mattered more than we had anticipated. Natalie turned what could have been a stressful process into an enjoyable experience. She was consistently available and proactive in addressing every question and need along the way! On the wedding day, she was nothing short of amazing—anticipating needs and ensuring everything ran seamlessly, leaving our family and friends in awe from the flawless design to guiding us through the event. The moment we walked into the reception will forever be etched in our memories—Natalie went above and beyond! She's more than a wedding planner; she swiftly became a lifelong friend. Our big day would have felt incomplete without her. Our gratitude for Natalie is beyond measure—highly recommending Surraya Events feels like an understatement.

    Natalie was amazing!! She listened to our desired wants/look and feel for the wedding and brought it to life. She created a variety of design boards for us to choose from and react to. Once we nailed down the look and feel with her it was a seamless process from choosing florals, a photographer/videographer, catering, cocktails, transportation, and rentals; all vendors that we chose from were based on a big list that Natalie provided. We were able to sift through the options and choose the ones that best fit our style/needs/budget! Natalie is kind, attentive, responded to all questions in a timely manner, and was an all around professional. On the day of the wedding she had everything taken care of, we did not have to think of one thing during the day. We were able to be present and enjoy the most magical and fun day that wouldn't have been possible with out her!! We couldn't recommend her and her team enough for your wedding planning needs!

    We are so thankful for Natalie! We were trying to plan our small wedding in less than 5 months and we couldn’t have done it without her. She was on top of everything! She helped us find our venue and gave a lot of other great recommendations. The day went by so smoothly because of her. I can’t recommend her enough!

    I cannot begin to describe how appreciative I am of Natalie's work for our wedding reception last year. I didn't think I needed a coordinator but my venue required one and turns out they were right! Natalie made sure everything ran so smoothly on the day of the event and coordinated all of the prep beforehand. She was efficient, organized, communicative and just pleasant to work with. She was able to fill me in on things I didn't even know I didn't know! I can't emphasize enough how much better my wedding planning experience was with her supporting. We- and our guests- had the best time and didn't have to worry on the day.
