Reve Events & Concierge

Leslie and her colleague Heather were a joy to work with. They made us feel absolutely comfortable and taken care of on our wedding day and leading up to it. Leslie was extremely detail-​oriented and organized. When we walked in to our wedding reception we were thrilled at what a wonderful job they’d done implementing our vision. Leslie did a great job of handling hiccups along the way and shielding us from them. With the help of Leslie and Heather our event went over without a hitch and everyone had a wonderful time. There is no one else we would have rather had at our wedding. We highly recommend Reve Events.

Reve events was one of the best choices we made in our wedding planning process. We gave her a vision, and she helped us (both creatively-​challenged) to create it. She was extremely organized throughout the entire process, and led us step by step through each phase of the planning process. She went out of her way to find us deals and discounts and kept us within our budget. She made the whole process feel stress free. She even printed our address labels and sent out our invites and save the days!
But where I really could never thank her and her team enough, is the day of. I was a mess, so nervous, excited, overly emotional. Leslie ran the whole show and put the place together beyond any expectations I had. She managed my husband and his jokester groomsman like a pro. She even even managed some pushy family members, so make sure that I never felt overwhelmed. Having heather with me throughout the day kept me grounded and she knew just want to say to help me calm my nerves as the big moment approached.
Throughout the event, my family and I were able to enjoy ourselves stress free. They even packed everything up so nice and neat for us at the end. I cannot say enough about their service. They really went above and beyond to help create our dream wedding and make sure that it really was the best day of our lives.

We truly liked Leslie– truly, and paid her over $ 3k for her full wedding services before we parted ways. She is a wonderful, caring person with lots of pros. Among other things, she did an excellent job with Hotels and timeline. This is why this review is hard to write.
She made more then a few mistakes along the way, enough so that it was more stressful managing her than the wedding. She distinctly over promised, and her attention to detail leaves a lot to be desired. The deal breaker though was the situation with a vendor that she hired. We, as a rule, are fastidious about contracts, something Leslie knew as the first few contracts we negotiated together and I refused to budge on such things as Force De Majeur, which rarely happens. Leslie then was authorized to negotiate and find for us a vendor and we specified what we wanted. She found for us a wonderful vendor, and negotiated with them. A week after she paid the deposit, I inquired as to why I had yet to see the contract she had agreed to. She informed us they do not work with contracts and this is a vendor she hired before and trusted them. When I emailed them that I was only comfortable preceding with a contract, they informed they do in fact have a contract and always precede with such. Since they had dealt with Leslie before, they did not think it was an issue., Moreover, we found out that Leslie did not in fact inform them correctly of the things we wanted!
The vendors were truly great, provided the contract, and offered us an out if we weren’t happy with it, but at this point, didn’t want to renegotiate. In the end, hired the vendor but fired Leslie. A full service planner that either lies to us about the lack of contract, or does not pay attention to its significance to us– that was made fairly clear– multiple times is a wedding planner that I could no longer trust. After we parted ways, I offered her a chance to explain why, but made it clear that my mind would not be changed. If she had taken me up on that, I would not have written this review. Alas, she did not.

I cannot say enough good things about Heather, Leslie, and Jada. We hired them for the month before our wedding and day-​of services after my husband’s cousin had used them for her wedding in September of 2013. Her wedding was huge and mostly DIY with set up and take down relying solely on the Reve team and bridal party. Once we saw them handle such a big wedding in such an amazing, seamless way, we knew that they would do awesome things for us.
My husband and I agree that hiring Reve was the best money we spent on our wedding. They were professional, personable, reassuring, and so organized. They knew how to handle any situation, and gave great advice to us when we didn’t know what to do in planning. I loved spending time with them, and was so happy to have them there on our wedding day. One thing I loved was that Leslie was able to supervise our church ceremony, Heather was by my side for the entire day, and Jada was able to be supervising the reception set-​up and take down. We loved knowing that each team member would be supervising different needs and locations of our wedding.
They gave us the day we wanted; they worried about the small stuff for us, and made the day go perfectly. I am so grateful to them for their work – I get teary when talking about them to others! They are amazing at what they do.

Hiring Leslie and Heather from Reve Events and Concierge was hands down the best investment we made for our wedding. Not only are they both wonderfully talented and organized but they also went above and beyond when it came to helping us plan and execute our day. To top it off, they are both wonderful people who I could see myself being friends with in real life. They brought me clarity when I was feeling unfocused, humor when I was being too serious, and peace when I felt overwhelmed.
Our wedding couldn’t have come at a busier time for us; my project’s deadline had just been moved back by 4 months to coincide with our wedding date and my husband’s company was hard at work preparing for a big industry conference and ramping up a new funding round. Needless to say, we didn’t have time to do a lot of the legwork and research it takes for a wedding. Luckily for us we found Reve Events and Concierge.
Leslie and Heather met with us to get a feel for our style and budget and then they were off! They researched vendors, called hotels, put together our budget plan and schedule, and helped us reign in our scope so we didn’t drive ourselves nuts. They were incredibly flexible, great listeners, and were never pushy.
Like many couples, we wanted our wedding to be extremely personalized and different than the run of the mill celebration. Reve wasn’t afraid to throw out the standard playbook and play by our rules. We nixed a lot of traditional wedding staples and ended up with a wonderful, laid-​back wedding filled with and afternoon of lawn games, a roaming feast, live music, and love. For us, it was perfect.
One thing that I appreciated the most was how Leslie and Heather worked as a great team to make things easy for me and work wedding planning around my hectic work schedule. I’ll never forgot the night they drove through the rain to San Mateo to meet me at my office at 9pm because that’s the only time I had available or the time they offered to pick up cake tastings and deliver them to my house. They were extremely flexible and allowed me to set up meetings via Skype or FaceTime when I just couldn’t get away. Even when I couldn’t talk, we used email, text, and even Pinterest to collaborate and feel out ideas.
Anytime we needed help, advice, or someone to delegate tasks to, they had our backs. Leslie talked us through a printer mishap at 10:30pm when we couldn’t get the envelopes printed correctly and ended up coming to the rescue to pick them up from my work the next day so we could get them out in time. Heather spent time on the phone with some pretty awful vendors so that I didn’t have to. Both of them are pro negotiators and were able to score us some deals that we probably wouldn’t have been able to get on our own.
The day of the wedding, I didn’t have to do a thing other than get married, have a good time, and be happy. It was great! If there was a mishap or a problem, I don’t know about it. One thing that I thought was particularly classy was how they worked with our bridal party to house some of the gifts and decorations post-​wedding so they wouldn’t clutter up our bridal suite the night of our wedding. It was a 100% stress-​free day.
To top it off, my wedding day was also my birthday (long story). Leslie and Heather went beyond the call of duty and helped my husband set up a wonderful birthday surprise for me. It was incredibly touching and was the icing on an already wonderful day.
They are both thoughtful, kind, hardworking, and organized. I’m so happy that we found them.
If you are looking for someone to plan your event, you’ll be hard pressed to find someone who can top Reve!
