Weddings by Susan Dunne -

No matter how big or small your event is, never underestimate the power of a planner, especially one as incredible as Susan. I've watched Susan work on many events, and she has a knack for handpicking a dream vendor team that perfectly matches with how you want your wedding to be and feel like. Susan knows how to prioritize your design budget towards elements that will make your event its most beautiful, as well as be an unforgettable experience for you and your guests, and will be the glue that keeps everything together!

I have nothing but great things to say about Susan and her team. We hired her for our rehearsal dinner and wedding. She was always one step ahead of us and super organized. I loved that all communication was directly with Susan. It was important for us to include our daughter and two golden doodles for our special day and she nailed it. She took my love for the color pink and made the event space and experience magical. I’d find any excuse to have another event so I could have Susan plan it.

We hired Susan for a full planning service for our wedding. We had a unique situation thanks to Covid that required us to hire Susan just two months before the wedding to help us. As soon as we hired her, she immediately hit the ground running! Susan was amazing during the planning process! She is very detail oriented and very organized. She stayed one step ahead of us as a couple and brought all matters that needed our attention to us as soon as possible and even some that we didn’t think about.

Susan remained very responsive throughout. Her breakdown of all the weeks leading to the wedding and tasks requiring completion by us and her were extremely helpful. She also is very honest and always gave us her honest opinion on any choice we had to make. Her vendor recommendations were fantastic!

The day of the wedding, Susan brought multiple people as part of her team to take care of us. She and her team made us feel completely special and created a stress-free and fun day. The team allowed us to completely focus on us and our families by running all the many moving parts smoothly and without incident. We are truly grateful to Susan and her team for being part of making our day extremely special during such a crazy time! We highly recommend Susan! Money well spent!

Susan create our DREAM WEDDING! After interviewing many top wedding planners in the Los Angeles area, we immediately connected with Susan. One of the things that drew us to her was her honesty and integrity during our initial consultation. We felt as though other planners gave us fluff, but, Susan was real and factual! She knows the industry and is good at what she does. We loved every minute of the planning process, everything decision we had to make was so simple and easy because of Susan. Every vendor she presented, we loved. Fast forward to the day of, everything ran smoothly and we never felt stressed at any point. We were able to be a guest at our own wedding (as cliche as it may sound.) Susan and the team were a joy and so kind and always in control of everything. We would HIGHLY recommend Susan and her team. Look no further she is your go to planner!

Susan is amazing! Whether you are local or out of town couple looking for a destination wedding, you will want Susan’s help. Unlike other wedding planners who ask the couple for a Pinterest board from the beginning, she took the time to get to know us, worked with us to create a vision, finds you the perfect vendors for your big day, and orchestrate everything seemingly. Susan is extremely experienced, professional, easy to work with, and highly reliable. The planning process with Susan was fun and close to stress free. She doesn’t take the easy route simply to make your wedding look nice, she tries everything to make your vision work!

We just had my daughters wedding a few weeks ago and we are still talking about it. Everything turned out so elegant and beautiful. We truly enjoyed working with Susan throughout the entire process. She kept us in line with budget and presented vendors we absolutely loved. We enjoyed her design process, as we had absolutely no clue on a theme. Susan, we couldn't thank you enough for all of your hard work months prior to the wedding and the day of. We really had the opportunity to enjoy every minute knowing you were in control of everything! No words can describe how you comfortable and enjoyable you made this experience for us. You have so much grace, sweet and so understanding of everything. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. If you are looking for someone with experience, you must hire Susan and her team.

If 10 stars were possible, Susan and her team hands down would get it! We live on the EC and planned a wedding in Malibu with the help of Susan and her team. Susan goes above and beyond with everything she does. Everything was so well organized and planned out. Our task was manageable and she took care of the rest. We enjoyed planning the wedding alongside with her. Susan is relatable, kind, professional, and knowledgable! Our wedding was truly perfect and everything went as planned, thanks to Susan and her team! I highly recommend Weddings by Susan Dunne for Full Planning! Trust me and you will thank me later!

Other than marrying each other, choosing Susan to be our wedding planner was absolutely the best decision we could have made for our wedding. We got engaged in September 2018, already had our venue booked, who required us to have at least a day-of coordinator (but we quickly realized we needed a full planner). We started off by going through our venue’s preferred planner list, narrowed it down to only the planners who had all 5 star reviews, and interviewed all 11 of them. Susan was the only one who actually took notes during our initial phone conversation, followed up with us as she said she would, and upon the second round interview, she was the only one who actually remembered what we talked about the first time.

I am a CPA and half the year, I am extremely busy and not very accessible to be planning a wedding. She was able to break up the tasks into very manageable chunks each month so that we were never overwhelmed, even during my busiest work months. She made planning fun and completely stress-free. During the planning process, she got to know our specific vision for our wedding so that she only brought us vendors who fit that vision and were in our price range based on the budget we created together, which she diligently stuck to the entire time.

We were originally supposed to get married in June 2020 (haha…) and once COVID hit, we tried to stay optimistic. Susan was there for us through countless phone calls whenever we needed to be talked off the ledge as we went on our emotional rollercoaster of whether or not to postpone. In May, we finally decided to postpone to October. We thought that would be the craziest part of our wedding planning process but in August, due to COVID restrictions from our venue, we ended up having to change our reception venue. We didn’t want to have to move our ceremony site, so Susan worked with us to quickly find another venue very close by that would suit all of our needs and be in our price range. Our original venue provided almost everything, whereas this new venue required us to rent everything (even down to the kitchen). Susan took care of ALL of this for us and planned basically an entire wedding for 130 people from scratch in a matter of weeks (everyone was COVID tested before and no one got COVID at our wedding - don’t worry).

Our wedding day was beyond perfect. Everyone in my family kept telling me beforehand that something is going to go wrong the day of (because supposedly that happens at every wedding) and that I should just roll with it. Those weddings just don’t have Susan. The actual day went incredibly smoothly and was so stress-free that we just got to enjoy it and soak up every minute of it because we knew Susan and her team had everything taken care of. She even surprised us with custom cookies of our pups on the day for our dessert table, which was such an incredible and personal touch that she knew we would love.

Now, we just have to gush about how amazing of a person Susan is. After planning a wedding with Susan for almost 2 years, we genuinely consider her to be a friend. 5 stars does not nearly do her justice. Not only does she execute, but she makes the wedding planning process so much fun. We love her so much that we wish she could have just been a guest at our wedding. She will definitely be a guest at all future Bloom family events. We could talk about how amazing Susan is forever. We can guarantee picking her will be one of the best decisions you will make during your wedding planning process.
