Jaime was/is fabulous!!!
We are SO thankful to Stylish Weddings and Events for helping our dream wedding happen!

Adam and I met Jaime at a bridal conference and we told him of our vision, and we immediately hit it off with him. Jaime was so accommodating of our schedules, and would often drive to us for meet ups and discussions, and he allowed us to have calls in the evenings after we got off work. He was flexible and very thoughtful of our needs.

We purchased the full service planning package, and Jaime was with me through all the challenges of trying to plan a wedding during covid. He would give me vendor recommendations, and when anyone would back out (due to unforeseen issues with covid and family, etc...), he would do everything to get me replacement vendors and get my deposits back. He was ON it and always had my back!!! I certainly felt like Jaime cared about us. He was super responsive to every email/text/question I sent his way, and he would often send us little reminders of things to consider/complete. It was very appreciated.

On top of all that.... JAIME SAVED THE WEDDING A BILLION TIMES OVER!!!
* The manzanita tree renter we were going to use ended up closing their business due to covid, so we had to find a new supplier and actually BUY the trees.
* We didn't know what to do with the trees after the wedding ended and we had to get them out of the venue by 1am. Jaime asked his florist supplier, and she agreed to take them, and have them out by 1am! He totally saved us from having to figure out what to do with them!
* We found a manzanita tree supplier who we purchased 18 - 3 foot trees from. They delivered the trees the day before, but they were the wrong height! They were 1 to 1.5 feet! Which is NOT what we paid extra for! And not the statement centerpieces we expected. I immediately started panicking! My fiancé just left because he hates confrontation and didn't know what to do, and I literally just felt trapped, alone, and confused in how to address the situation. Except that I was not alone. Jaime came to my rescue! He totally backed me up and wanted the supplier to provide answers as to why the trees were not what was agreed on in our contract. In the end, she just left saying she could not fix them and we could discuss with her later about a partial refund. But Jaime did not leave me with those small pathetic trees. He instantly jumped on his phone and contacted local suppliers. He then pulled an all-nighter to spray paint new trees he procured, and built them into the center piece boxes. And he did it all at his house!
* On top of Jaime working on the trees ALL night, he was calm, cool, and collected the next day and did everything to make our wedding beautiful! He was a calming presence and never seemed to appear stressed or bothered with all the questions thrown at him. He was amazing!!
* Jaime is also an interior visionary, and when my grandmother asked for a gift she made us to be presented at the wedding, he did a beautiful job of tying it into our decor! He also had to re-situate the layout to accommodate our photo booth vendor, and he did a fantastic job of the overall setup!

Jaime and his team were absolutely brilliant! I am beyond blessed/grateful for all their hard work and love that they gave our event. So many issues came up that were out of our control (and nothing that Jaime or his team did) but his team ALWAYS jumped on getting them resolved/fixed! I had no idea until after the wedding of any issues! That's how amazing they were!! ALSO.... Jaime took pictures of so many parts of the set up that I did not get to see, and sent them to me so I could have them and see everything pristine before the guests arrived. I thought it was a very thoughtful gesture!

ALSO... almost forgot to mention! Jaime helped with ALL the rentals! Linens, dance floor, chairs, and napkins, etc!!! Seriously, made that part so easy!!!

Jaime... THANK YOU for all you did for us. You are a HERO and did everything to make our event perfect!!! xo

My fiance and I met Jaime at Bridal Bazaar Show in Downtown San Diego. After speaking with at the show, we knew he was the right person to make our wedding memorable. He worked with us for over a year and made the process very easy. Without him, we would be lost. My fiance and I were planning a simple wedding where Jaime turned it into traditional wedding which displayed different cultures coming together. He had all the right vendors at the right price and they all did a great job. We had frequent meetings and he was never late nor cancelled any appointments. Everyone in our family loved are wedding and labeled it best wedding ever. Some also stated that it looked a beautiful love story and a dream wedding that they have been part of. Thanks Jaime for all your hard work and making this our dream wedding.

Jaime was an absolute dream to work with when it came to planning our wedding. Nothing was over looked and our big day was planned down to the minute. Everything went according to schedule and the hiccups were taken care of so smoothly and without notice! I recommend Jaime and his team to anyone that is planning a big event!!! Our planning and wedding day would not of been the same with out him!!

Jaime did a great job planning my husband's and mine wedding. We hired him over a year before our wedding and he helped us immensely the whole time. We had frequent meetings with him and he wasn't late to any of them. He was on top of everything we asked or wanted and he gave great recommendations for everything wedding related. My husband had a few (odd) requests for the wedding day, and Jaime got them all in place for him. I can't tell you how happy my husband was to see everything coming together, just like how he pictured it in his mind. That couldn't have happened without Jaime there! The vendors he connected us with were perfectly priced, professional, and exactly what we wanted.

On the day of our wedding, our reception was gorgeous and looked like it stepped out of a movie! He has a great eye for design and the final product was better than I could have imagined! During the reception, we did run into some hiccups with the venue, specifically the catering manager at the venue not doing what we had previously arranged. Jaime was so quick to solve the issues with the venue, and the guests were none the wiser! He made sure that my husband and I were happy, eating/drinking, and enjoying the day! I would highly recommend Jaime to anyone in need of a wedding planner!!

Jaime was referred to me through a family friend who also hired him as their wedding planner. From the first time we met (via phone), I knew Jaime would do an excellent job. He truly made all of my dreams and visions for my wedding come true. And he did it all from the opposite side of the country! I planned my west coast wedding with Jaime all the way from the east coast. Because of this, Jaime also worked very closely with my mom and has now become a part of the family. He is a true professional with a positive and vibrant attitude. He is a great listener and an even better communicator. Even my bridal party has expressed how impressed they were! Through vision boards and many many phone calls and emails, Jaime was able to pull together the wedding of my dreams. Every vendor he referred was top notch and even the vendors we introduced to him have now built a great working relationship together. I can't say enough great things about him and would highly recommend Jaime to anyone looking for a "dream maker".

I found Jaime through Yelp searching for a day of wedding coordinator. Our initial meeting with him was great—right away we knew he would be able to handle whatever was thrown at him. He was attentive, assertive, professional, and we felt very comfortable with him from the start. He was so thorough and asked as questions we hadn’t even thought about. Since my husband and I had a long engagement, we had already booked most of our vendors, so we were set on having just a day of coordinator, but after meeting with Jaime we decided to book the month of package. Despite booking the month of package, Jaime started work with us 4 months before our wedding! I honestly don’t know how our wedding would’ve turned out without him. He was on top of things, in contact with the vendors, and made sure everything went according to the timeline. As the date neared, my husband and I started to stress out because of a couple non responsive vendors, but with Jaime’s reassurance we knew everything would turn out okay, and it did. In addition to coordinating, Jaime also helped us with design, accompanying us to our mock ups and linen appointments to make sure everything looked perfectly the day of. Jaime truly understood our wedding vision and cared about it just as much as we did. As overwhelmed as we were the day of the wedding, Jaime ensured we were comfortable, well fed, energized (he even offered us caffeine pills!), and made it a point that my husband and I had a moment to ourselves to just enjoy the night. Both of our families loved him, and expressed to us how impressed they were with him the day of the wedding. My husband and I will definitely be recommending him to anyone we know getting married or planning a big event. We hope to work with him again in the future.

We never really thought we would need a full-time wedding coordinator, but that was before we met Jaime. He took the time to meet with us in person or on the phone as needed and walked us through the wedding planning process every step of the way.

Jaime has wonderful connections with vendors who I myself would have never been able to find. For example, he connected us with a DJ that blew all of our guests away. He made recommendations that saved us money and time without taking away from the quality of the wedding.

On the day of the wedding, my husband and I were in awe of how amazing the ballroom looked. Jaime said he was going to deliver, and he sure delivered. Not to mention, I didn't hear of any issues on the day of the wedding, meaning that Jaime did a wonderful job of making sure I was stress-free and happy on my special day.

Long story short, Jaime will help any bride and groom create the wedding of their dreams with the resources that they have. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a wedding coordinator, both full-time and day of!

Lo

Where do we begin!?
Our wedding was so incredible half the guests came up to us and told us throughout the night that this was the BEST wedding they had ever been to. -This is because we were lucky enough to meet and hire Jaime Soto who made our wedding night everything we could have wished for. Jaime isn’t just a wedding planner, he is also an amazing wedding designer and coordinator.

We met Jaime at a wedding show and liked him right away. We were looking for someone who could be hands on with us as we both had significant work commitments going on during the typical planning process. Despite this challenge, we still wanted to have a wedding that we and our beloved family and friends would remember.

We had our wedding at the Prado at balboa park. We had an insane number of vendors that Jaime coordinated with on our behalf. He was available to meet with us and each of the vendors anytime we needed him. We utilized a lot of outside vendors so having someone who had so many established vendor relationships of varied styles and pricing was extremely helpful in the overall production of the wedding.

We were blown away with Jaime’s overall level of attentiveness and tenacity. You can throw basically anything at him and he can handle it. Even more, he is so kind and upbeat even when we’re under the gun and the pressure is on. We found that the investment in a full package wedding planner, specially Jaime, was the smartest decision we made. It can be a little nerve wrecking trying to find a great wedding planner so I’m writing this to help all those brides to be who might be looking for a phenomenal wedding planner. Jaime has the best personality, and takes so much of the stress away. Most importantly, you will enjoy working with Jaime because he always keeps things upbeat and when your special day finally arrives, you will have him there every step of the way making sure your wedding day
is just perfect!

Jaime- Jason and I are eternally grateful to you for making our wedding day the best day of our lives. You are truly a gem.
