The Wedding Connection - Santa Cruz, California

Casey is above and beyond FANTASTIC! I highly recommend choosing her company for your wedding coordinator. It was a first wedding for my family. The wedding was at a family venue, a new place for her but still she made everything so easy and the wedding and reception went off without a hitch! She responded quickly to emails, and put my family at ease taking care of so many details. She is incredibly experienced, organized and detailed, yet very relaxed.

Thank you so much Casey!

Casey and her team at The Wedding Connection are a dream to work with! Casey’s professionalism, easy going spirit and attention to detail makes her the perfect person to plan your wedding. She listens, works with you, and puts you in a calm (and excited!) state upon meeting her. I would highly reccomend The Wedding Connection!

Casey and the Wedding Connection team were wonderful to work with. We felt supported by them from day one. They always responded to our emails promptly and were happy to hop on calls with us as we got deep into planning. Casey provided a preferred vendor list to us which was so helpful as we searched for the right team of vendors for us, and the Aisle Planer site that her clients have access to helped us organize our guest list, seating assignments and layouts, and day-of timeline. They also kept everything calm and running smoothly on the day of the wedding. I highly recommend Casey and her team!

Our daughter had an absolutely beautiful Carmel Valley wedding during the stormiest weekend the Monterey peninsula had experienced in decades. Casey and her crew were calm, professional and creative as we adjusted outdoor activities indoors, and welcomed 180 out of town guests. Casey was responsive and very accessible for the many months of planning, and was easy to work with at all times. Our rehearsal went smoothly, and the wedding was splendid.

The ladies at Wedding Connection were the most amazing coordinators!!!! With their help, we had a perfect wedding at the Barn at River House in Ben Lomond, CA, in April 2022. Denise helped us early on, with showing us the venue, sending us recommended vendors, and answering big picture questions. When we got closer, we did the walk through with Casey and she took over. She was the perfect person for the role - she was so easy going and organized. She had recommendations if we asked, but was willing to help us do anything to make our dream wedding come true. Their team is so prompt, organized, supportive, and so much more. So thankful for them!!!!

Denise is a legend in the Santa Cruz wedding community! You can tell she absolutely loves what she does and always treats her vendors with respect. As a wedding videographer, I've worked with many professional wedding coordinators, but it's always a pleasure tot work with Denise. She's a gem!

Denise was our wedding planner for our wedding at the Monterey Bay Aquarium in October 2016, and we could not have asked for a better planner or planning experience! She is efficient, practical, and explains things straightforwardly. She was always looking out for our interests by telling us when something was unnecessary or simply not cost-effective for our needs. She also has a great, fun personality, which makes working with her an enjoyable experience. One of her best, most important qualities is how prompt and responsive she is with communications. Given all of the moving parts that go into wedding planning, having a planner as attentive as Denise is critical. She also handled our day-of event flawlessly. It was the most special day of our lives, and we never once had to worry about how the wedding was going – thank you Denise! We can’t give her high enough praise.
