I can say the wedding went smooth, but not without a major attitude. We met with Denise for our final meeting before the wedding and she said she would be able to get though our wedding without additional help. A week before the wedding she said she needed help and gave us an amount to pay for it. We were already tapped out on cash, so we were unable to do so. Well that left a huge sour taste in her mouth and boy was it evident the day of the wedding. It’s funny that she plays the victim in her negative reviews, but let’s face it I have all the emails to back up the side my wedding guest all saw. After returning from the wedding we found an email where she called my now wife an entitled b**** and her worse bride of 2014. Always going back to that she was hired as a day if coordinator but every time we contacted our vendors, we would get a reply that we weren’t allowed to do so. When you deal with someone long enough you do see true colors come out and In This case they weren’t pretty.
I’m sure she will respond to this on how I’m wrong and blah blah blah. My best wedding gift is I’m done with seeing her.

Denise is very attentive, she went out of her way to make sure I had my amazing day. The only thing my husband wanted is that when our wedding day came, that I number one, had no stress and number two, that I was responsible for nothing. She did everything! I worried about nothing. It was the best day of my life. Denise also saved me so much money with all of my venders. She had great contacts and she took care of each of them to make sure everything was ready. I’m so lucky to have found her and that she was available to be my coordinator. I would recommend her to everyone I know. Thank you Denise for all your hard work and your staffs hard work. You made my day unforgettable.

I have read many raving reviews about Denise on Unilocal.While I don’t doubt that they are genuine, I wish I could have experienced this myself.
I will start out by saying that the wedding turned out amazing. I had the pleasure of participating as a bridesmaid at my beautiful friend’s wedding. That meant I also had the opportunity to see behind the scenes, and I was very displeased what I saw and heard. I can tell you that I was just appalled at how Denise spoke to the bride and family. I thought the number one rule was to avoid the bride from having a breakdown, not to initiate one. One of my favorite moments in particular: guests were arriving at the venue and walking back where the bride was getting ready. She asked Denise to let them know they couldn’t be back there before the wedding and Denise snapped at her in front of the entire bridal party and family.
This was the attitude presented throughout the night. There were guests at the wedding that made comments about it and it was very clear that she couldn’t wait for it to be over. She also insinuated that she wasn’t getting paid to do what the bride wanted. Yet, for over a year the bride tried to correspond with her, most of the time with hardly any response. My friend is one of the most selfless people I know and constantly worries about other people’s feelings. I had never seen her so frustrated until that day, and even then she just let Denise’s comments go.
Bottom line… communicate with the bride to let her know exactly what you can or can’t do– don’t leave her in the dark. And be gentle on this big day, do not create unnecessary drama. I heard that she is retiring next year, and I have to say that it’s for the better. She clearly is over this industry and I would hate to see future brides go through the same experience. I hope she finds happiness in her future endeavors.

Denise is a godsend! There is absolutely no way our wedding would have turned out nearly as magical and beautiful without her.
We had our wedding at the Humphreys Estate in Temecula. She knows the property like the back of her hand so she helped us visualize the possibilities with the ceremony, the reception, and all the little details in between. Super important because I don’t have the strongest aesthetic eye and needed the guidance!
She hooked us up with the best vendors in the area, which eliminated us from having to shop around too much or vetting the quality of their services. And as many of the vendors also already knew the Humphreys Estate well, we didn’t have to worry about briefing them about the property, showing them where the outlets are, etc. She is well-​connected in the area, and was able to get the best deals for us.
We don’t live in Temecula, but needless to say we were able to count on her on the ground in the months/​days leading up to the wedding.
And on the wedding day itself, she was quite frankly invaluable! She made several calls that I as the bride just had no time (or mental power) to make and addressed a lot of issues behind the scenes. She was a great timekeeper which was critical given how many things we had jam-​packed into an evening.
I LOVE Denise and am so thrilled to have had her as part of our special day!

Their staff is amazing!
