Lally was the most incredible wedding planner! She made me, my fiancee, and my family feel so at ease with the entire wedding planning process, and came up with some amazing ideas that transformed our ceremony that i never would have thought of. She is kind, calm, and gets it all done. We were a COVID couple, and decided 2 months out that we were going to do a ceremony with family and a few close friends locally before a larger destination party down the road. She not only made the process smooth, easy, and enjoyable, she pulled it all off in less than two months. The event looked like we had taken a year to plan, and we didn't sacrifice any needs or wants - she somehow got it all done! her experience with corporate events no doubt supported our short timeline, and I can't imagine it being as easy and enjoyable as it was with anyone else. She was also incredibly thoughtful and attentive the day of - making sure everyone was calm, ready, hydrated and taken care of (from myself and the groom to our grandparents). My regrets are that I wish I had met her sooner and she had been able to plan our destination celebration, and that we only had two months to work together! I would 12/10 recommend her to anyone looking for someone who can make magic happen for their big day! More...

We had an amazing experience working with Lally for a covid-safe outdoor nonprofit gala at Filoli Gardens in Woodside. Lally was responsive to all of our requests (even the out-of-this-world ones! ) and made them happen even on a nonprofit budget. From booking us dozens of firepits to rapidly adapting to our guest count that ended up being double what we expected, Lally exceeded all our expectations! And she and her team were so patient with us along the way! More than anything, Lally's ability to balance the big picture vision for our event with attention to the tiniest details made our annual gala the most successful it's ever been (both in terms of funds raised for our nonprofit as well as overall feedback from our guests!). Lally's staff is amazing and the vendors she works with are fantastic. Thank you for everything Lally and team!!! More...

Lally is an incredible wedding planner. She took over our event a few months into planning after we had some issues with our original planner. She helped us land every detail exactly as we wanted and had plenty of suggestions when we weren’t sure. She understood our vision and helped us bring it to life. She was also great at managing and negotiating with all of the vendors we used. She even helped us navigate changes with Covid, where we had to reschedule 3 times! She blew away our expectations and our wedding was absolutely perfect. She is extremely professional, savvy, and fun to work with. We would highly recommend Lally for a wedding or any other large event. More...

I owe everything to Lally! She is the ultimate wedding planner and I truly could not have done any of it without her. She has incredible design / style and was able to help guide me through my indecisiveness during the planning process. She made an effort to get to know our personalities really well and paired us with vendors that understood our vision and meshed well with us. I felt like we hit the vendor jackpot. Each one of them made a huge impact on our wedding in their own unique way. Overall, Lally made the planning process feel pretty seamless. I was so thankful how responsive and proactive she was about keeping all of our documents up to date and organized. We were always ahead of the planning schedule. Planning a wedding during a pandemic felt stressful at times but Lally helped us navigate all of the uncertainty like a pro and kept everything under control. On wedding day I felt extremely calm and stress free because I knew Lally had everything planned out to the T. She kept everything on time and was the magic behind the scenes. The day felt like it couldn't have gone any better. We were so happy with how everything turned out. She also made sure we got in all the little special moments that were really important to us. I could go on forever about how helpful /incredible Lally is and couldn't recommend her more! More...

My husband and I tied the knot on July 29th, 2017 between Santa Rosa and Calistoga at a private estate. We had the most amazing day and in large part thanks to Lally. She is incredibly detail-oriented, perfection is her norm, and she has the most contagious positive energy. Her professionalism all throughout the entire process was truly amazing. From initial calls, to finding the right venue, working with vendors, working with both of our families, all the way through to the day of the wedding making sure everything was just right; she brings her best to every situation. We were extremely impressed by her efficient yet calm presence the day of the wedding, which is exactly what we needed. We would 100% recommend Lally as a wedding planner, and a planner for any event for that matter. More...

Lally is a wedding wizard! She is organized, responsive, on top of everything, and most importantly she truly cares about her clients and will make sure your day is incredible. You won't worry about a thing other than having an amazing time.Our wedding was May 28, 2016 in St. Helena on a private estate with 165 guests.I'm writing a long review because in the early stages of planning, it would have been nice to have something like this to help us understand how to figure out what type of planner we wanted to work with and how much we wanted to take on ourselves.As with most things in life, you get what you pay for. We initially hired a cheaper planner, and it cost us 5 months of wasted time where nothing got done - in fact we went backwards- and we were constantly frustrated. You should definitely cut budget on things that aren't as important to you, but a good planner is not something you should cut! Our wedding was especially challenging because it was on a private estate. We had at least 10 individual vendors from the typical ones like catering and florist, but also things like lighting and porta-potties that we wouldn't have known we needed. If this is your situation, do not underestimate the amount of work it takes to understand what vendors you need, select them, know if you're getting a good deal, etc. Not to mention coordinating all of their dropoffs and pickups the weekend of your wedding itself. After seeing our property, Lally knew exactly what was needed and which vendors to work with. She knew where it was possible to save money and where it was worth it to splurge.Working with Lally to plan the wedding made it more fun! She gave us a very helpful checklist at the beginning of each month to help us keep track of the things we have to do. We had meetings with her in person from time to time, some with vendors and a few random phone chats. We emailed almost daily during the more planning-intensive times, and she was incredibly responsive. When there was a task that I just didn't want to deal with (for me it was choosing florals), she was always able to help simplify it.Lally goes above and beyond: 3 months before the wedding I had a dress crisis after some alterations didn't go as planned. I call Lally at 10pm freaking out and she calmed me down! then she graciously attended my next fitting with me and even got me a last minute appointment at a bridal shop so I could check out other options. It ended up sticking with the original dress, but it was remarkable how much she was able to help me through that crisis.The weekend of our wedding was an incredible success! I cannot say enough good things. It was the best day/weekend of my life, and I didn't have to worry about anything. I've been at other weddings where this is not the case. When you don't have a planner, or only a "day of" planner, things just get missed. You and your family do NOT want to deal with the coordination of vendors and decorations on the weekend of your wedding. After the fact, we found out about a few minor things she was able to fix without us or anyone even knowing about it! I.e apparently one of the servers showed up to the wedding drunk and made a scene - but no one knew about it because Lally had the situation totally under control. She totally went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect weekend that we will remember for years to come.She even found a few ways to save us money. A few weeks after the wedding, we got a few surprise refunds from vendors who had apparently made mistakes! wow!Lastly, Lally is truly a delightful person. She loves what she does, and it shows in her work.Thank you Lally for your truly amazing work with our wedding! More...
