Honey & Twine Weddings and Events

This is a review of Lexi from Honey & Twine Weddings and Events.
My husband and I were married last September 2014, and had a rather complicated dual ceremony (Indian and Western) wedding. It involved two priests, a white horse, intermission drinks and appetizers… A lot of moving pieces. I was feeling very overwhelmed and Lexi came to the rescue.
She took over SO many responsibilities weeks before the wedding, and the day of. She single-​handedly created and displayed all the place cards and table numbers. This involved hours of cutting wine corks the evening before and morning of the wedding. She also made beautiful shawls featuring our wedding colors, and displayed them in a basket for guests to wear if they were chilly. She handled any hiccups throughout the wedding day (and I heard there were quite a few). Lastly, she gathered all our gifts, champagne flutes, any odds and ends left in the the bridal/​groom suites, the leftover cupcakes and wine, and delivered them to our wedding suite. Her support allowed my husband and I, our parents, and all our guests, a worry-​free day. It was the best day of my life and I cannot thank Lexi enough for all she did to make that happen.
Oh, one last detail. She cut her finger badly the morning of the wedding while cutting the wine corks… She showed up with a massive bandage, elevated hand, a family member to support her, and a huge smile on her face. I was beyond impressed.

We used Honey & Twine as our full service wedding planner for our wedding this June. Tria was great to work with. We mostly needed help with creativity and pulling together a wedding theme that was beautiful, cute and cohesive. Tria really delivered on this.
Tria was also very helpful with all her vendor suggestions. She had 3 suggestions of vendors for each category and every vendor that we ended up was fantastic.
On the day of, Tria came very well prepared. She had prepared a very detailed day of schedule and made sure we stayed in schedule. The day flowed very smoothly. I unfortunately had a dress fit issue and she had the pins and tape ready to immediately fix the problem. She was ready for all situations.
Thank you Tria for planning such a beautiful and cute wedding for us! We had so many people tell us how fun and cute the wedding was!

The best investment we made for our wedding! We had a budget wedding, but decided that spending money on the coordinator and photographer were two top priorities. Honey & Twine was so amazing from start to finish!
My (now) husband and I were blown away from the first time we met Tria at a coffee shop for our consult. They were higher than our original budget, but we left that initial consult feeling a great connection and booked them a few days later. Best choice we ever made!
Tria was very prompt with answering any emails and questions I had and helped out with some design and decoration questions we had. She’s so sweet and our wedding guests had nothing but good things to say about her.
Our wedding day was flawless. Honey & Twine are pros and they made sure we stayed on our scheduled time and (even better) that I didn’t have to worry about a thing. She even secretly coordinated with my dad and brother so that they could surprise us with a song at my wedding! Oh, and my favorite part was that they helped pack up our decorations at the end of the night into THEIR car so we could pick it up at a later date. Every other coordinator I talked to before them was very against doing this.
Seriously, if you’re looking for an amazing coordinator, contact Honey & Twine!

Honey&Twine was the best choice we made while planning our wedding. They were so sweet, organized, experienced, and responsible. Our parents, the bridal party and our guests loved them! It’s been two months since our beautiful wedding, and my husband and I still felt excited every time when looking back at our big day. We are so grateful to H&T for making it happen.
Tria was the one who mainly worked with us. Tria was responsive over emails and texts. She answered each question very considerately and thoroughly. We chose H&T’s partial planning package, but Tria was always happy to give suggestions for items outside the package as well. During the whole planning process, she was very thoughtful for us, and we communicated very well. We had quite a tight schedule on the wedding day and H&T made everything run smoothly. I had nothing to worry about and just needed to enjoy the most important day in my life.
All in all, Honey&Twine is AWESOME! I would highly recommend them to any couple who is getting married!

My wedding was in June 2013 and my huband and I still talk about what a fabulous wedding we had. This could not have been accomplished without the help of Honey & Twine (Hannah and Tria). I knew from the moment I got engaged, I wanted to hire a wedding coordinator but didn’t know who. I saw H&T on style me pretty and decided to contact them. I probably spoke with 4 different vendors and only met with H&T in person. After our first consultation, my husband and I knew right away they were the ones even though we did not meet with other vendors. They were so friendly, patient, and their personalities were easy to work with. We booked the day of package but really it felt like we had their most expensive package because I was constantly in contact with them through the planning process. They were easily accessible by email and phone and always professional. On the day of the wedding, the girls went above and beyond. For example, Tria went out and picked up breakfast for us as we were getting ready in the bridal suite bc nothing on the room service menu looked appealing. At the reception, a wine opener was not available at the restaurant so they went out to pick one up for us. The days after the wedding, they followed up with some of our vendors on our behalf to thank them for their hard our work. Just some examples of how H&T made our wedding day stress free and on schedule. Thanks ladies and we miss you!

Definitely long overdue for this review — and, if you’ve come this far to consider Honey & Twine for your wedding planning partners, look no further! These ladies are fantastic in every way.
We had them for our «month of to day of» coordination help… but even still, they were always more than happy to share some advice, guidance, and all around comfort during the crazy, busy, stressful time prior to the big day.
Our wedding was on September 20^th and at the beginning of August we had our call and they were incredibly detail oriented — we walked through what we wanted, our vision, and they thought of so many things we hadn’t (eek!) and immediately took over all the stress of managing vendors (score!!) and then a week or so later had a tentative schedule for us.
I can’t recommend enough that even if you want to plan the creative details yourself (flowers, colors, invites… blah blah) HIRE THESE HONEYS FOR YOUR DAY. Words cannot describe how comforting it is to know that all the small details will be handled. We forgot to purchase candles for our ceremony (doh) and these ladies got them for us (and also helped spot a tip for one of our vendors — double doh) in addition to setting everything up and making sure our schedule was running smoothly.
All we had to do was smile, sit back, and be told what to do.
It’s amazing.

Hannah and Tria are truly a dynamic duo and we have been grateful from day one to have their experience, expertise and taste to rely on. From our first inquiry to our last email chock-​filled with a million little questions, they answer instantly with a thorough and thoughtful answer.
Hannah is a wonder at pulling together all the little details together — from creating a clear schedule for our wedding day that we could follow despite being totally distracted, but was not so dictatorial that we would be overwhelmed if we missed something by a few minutes. She ensured my friends had a MC script they could follow with only a day’s notice. She even made sure I had a white scarf as a cover-​up on the day of! And of course, leading up to the event, she helped us research and weigh all sorts of decisions — music vs. lighting? If the latter, who do we contact? How much should it cost? etc.
Tria’s style and vision helped us form our theme «imperfect together» from the million random eclectic things we had in our brains — frequently sending fantastic visual examples of decorative ideas, and ultimately putting together a comprehensive style book of how to put together all the visual pieces of our theme together. She even came over to our apartment stuffed with wedding projects and helped me decide one by one whether to finish, adjust or delete. She never rushed me through, and was instead encouraging, positive and helpful to the very exhaustive end!
On the day-​of, both Hannah and Tria were the pinnacle of relaxed calm and warmth, and we honestly don’t know how we would have made it through without their help. If you’ve ever wondered whether you need coordinators, I can guarantee that both my husband and I were unexpectedly nervous wrecks the days leading up to the wedding and could have not been trusted to tie our own shoes, let alone stage-​manage an event. You’re also inundated with talking with all your guests and soaking up the day, you don’t have a moment to think about when you should be going to the first dance.
Plus, all sorts of «surprises» occur you don’t even expect… example: my husband spilled wine at dinner over his suit and our little dog — I’m stunned and don’t know whether to help or continue chatting with guests — immediately Tria swoops in and takes our dog while Mike runs to the bathroom — both come back dry and ready to mingle again, while I didn’t skip a beat.
We can’t believe how lucky we were to find H&T and actually miss having their guidance in all things in our lives!

This review is long over due, but I honestly could not put in to words how incredibly grateful, honored and lucky we were to have Hannah and Tria deliver the most lovely and joyous day of our lives :) We appreciate all of your hard-​work, love and dedication — we cannot thank you enough! thank you! thank you! thank you!
Since I’m the kind of bride who plans and organizes everything down to the smallest detail, my now husband and i were looking for wedding coordinators who could really help us with the impending chaos and stress that others have warned us would happen the month before the wedding. After meeting Hannah and Tria, we knew without a doubt they were the fairy wedding godmothers who would execute the wedding of our dreams and put our minds at ease. Their organization, creativity and expertise never ceased to amaze us. Hannah and Tria were wonderfully sweet, warm and an absolute dream to work with — feeling more like friends we’ve known a lifetime. We couldn’t have imagined trusting such an important day to anyone else!
On our wedding day, we truly enjoyed ever moment without a care in the world because we knew we were in the best of hands with Hannah and Tria by our side :) Countless guests complimented us on how beautiful, well-​scheduled and fun-​filled our wedding day was — all of which was made possible because of H&T! Honey and Twine was one of our best wedding planning decisions. Months after our wedding, we’re still raving about how wonderful H&T are! We love you both! We would get married again if we knew you would be there to help plan it ;)

Few things in life compare to the complexity and chaos when it comes to wedding planning. After hearing stories from friends, coworkers, and relatives about all the many aspects involved with wedding planning, my wife and I realized having a wedding planner is a must.
We reached out to several wedding planners, but felt the most comfortable with Hannah and Tria. After a few more exchanges, we decided to meet up and are very glad we did.
Right from the start, Hannah and Tria paid utmost attention to us. They made us feel comfortable and let us work at our own pace. They were very patient and mindful, explaining clearly the basics of a wedding so as not to overwhelm us.
Communication is critical, and Hannah and Tria delivered this effortlessly. The emails and phone calls were returned promptly. The wedding timeline and budget that Hannah and Tria created for us was an integral and essential part that helped us out tremendously. Furthermore, their accompaniment to meet other vendors and asking key questions made our lives so much easier.
When the timeline and budget deviated a little bit, Hannah and Tria were quick and skillful in catching them, bringing me back on track and adjusting their plans with us. This must’ve happened more than a handful of times, and not once did were they discouraged from the constant changes. I was probably more annoyed at myself than they were!
As crunch time drew near, Hannah and Tria continued their calm, relaxing demeanor in contacting us and coordinating with other vendors. This is something that I cannot commend them enough for – it’s a monumental task for anyone to contact so many people and work things out. Even for someone that’s really organized and thinking about planning a wedding themselves, it can be challenging and stressful. Hannah and Tria did this behind the scenes so that my wife and I could go on with our lives.
Finally, the day of the wedding was the culmination of what Hannah and Tria have been doing. With all the millions of things going on, they ran a perfect show. Not only did they keep our three ceremonies on time (Korean, Chinese, and American), we even had extra time over between each one and the reception. Throughout the night, Hannah and Tria worked tirelessly and valiantly – I had different guests coming up to me, wishing that they could stay longer because they were so impressed by the wedding. I knew this could not have happened without the help of Hannah and Tria.
As the night drew to a close, Hannah and Tria were still going – they helped with the breakdown and cleaning up, collecting our personal items and returning it back to us.
No doubt, I would recommend Hannah and Tria in an instant without any hesitation. The type of service and professionalism exhibited by these two are unmatched. I wouldn’t be surprised if they started planning for celebrities and other famous individuals, as their work clearly shows it can handle that type of magnitude. Thank you again so much Hannah and Tria! You girls rock!

Hiring Hannah and Tria was hands down the best decision my husband and I made while planning our wedding! Living in Hawaii and trying to plan a bay area wedding provided quite the challenge. Add to that the fact that our venue was my in-​laws house and not an established venue and oh man… stressful! Luckily we realized early on that we were in over our heads and brought in Hannah and Tria. During planning, they came to the site, helped us find vendors, organized our décor ideas, and developed a detailed schedule for us. In the days prior, they contacted all our vendors and made sure everything was going to go smoothly. Day of they were INCREDIBLE! I’m sure there were several things that didn’t go to plan, but not only did I not have to stress about it, but I never even noticed. They took care of everything, so we could really enjoy our day. My in-​laws said that they were even washing random dishes from around the house at the end of the night. Talk about above and beyond! Do yourself, your friends and your family a favor and hire Hannah & Tria!

Hannah and Tria are the most competent, organized, creative and adorably sweet wedding duo in the business! I cannot imagine entrusting my wedding day to anyone else but these two professionals. Starting from our initial call (I live in New York) to the day of the wedding to even after the wedding, I am 100% satisfied with the services that these wonderful ladies have provided.
Lets start from the beginning. we wanted a planner that could assist with design, budget and day of coordination. With this duo, I got all that and more. We spoke to a couple of planners before finding H&T, but after speaking to them about our vision and hearing the warmth and excitement in their voice (in addition to conducting our due diligence on their work), we were convinced that they could do the job. We were so right!
After discussing our wedding priorities, they created a personalized budget for us. They provided a variety of recommendations for vendors. Whenever we went over our budget, they would discuss with us where we would make up the remaining amounts from. They were firm that we shouldn’t exceed our budget. In addition, Tria, the creative director, created a wedding theme, down to the fonts and exact colors. Tria worked with us closely and listened to our thoughts about the initial drafts and presented a perfect wedding theme for us.
The month of my wedding, I had enough on my plate. Thank God Hannah and Tria were so active in making sure that all the vendors were provided the appropriate details. I am the kind of person who usually likes to know exactly what is going on at all times because, well, I trust myself the most. However, with Hannah and Tria in charge, I was 100% confident and comfortable letting them work their magic. Everything was flawless on our wedding day.
And to top it off, these two are really, incredibly sweet. We got to know Hannah and Tria during the year we were planning the wedding. We frequently corresponded over email and telephone and met in person a few times. Most of the time, it just felt like we were chatting with our friends… insanely organized and creative friends (even our coordinator at the Palace Hotel was impressed by how organized Hannah was!) .
Please do not waste any more time looking for a planner. You have found not one, but two of the most diligent, organized, professional, meticulous people in the industry. They are creative, kind, personable and all around top notch!!! I cannot speak highly enough of H&T!

It’s difficult to truly describe how important your wedding day is. It marks the start of a new life with your significant other, it provides a time and place for the most important people in your life to come together and celebrate, and results in countless memories, photographs, and videos. It doesn’t need to be perfect, but my husband and I were intent on ensuring our wedding day was as close as possible.
But neither of us had planned such a huge event before, and we knew that for the day of our wedding, we would need someone experienced and detail oriented to organize each aspect of the day and ensure that everything came together. We interviewed and met with several different planners in our search as we knew not only was the day important, but the 8 months of email, Skype (we live 400 miles away), and in person meetings would demand someone with excellent communication skills and a personality that jived with ours. It only took a few minutes into our meeting with Hannah at a coffee shop in San Francisco to realize that Honey and Twine would be right for us.
The girls were absolutely incredible throughout the whole process, from the day we met through the wedding day. They guided us through design decisions, budget constraints, and all the other details of making our dream wedding happen. They brought up things to think about that we hadn’t even considered, things you wouldn’t worry about unless you’ve had experience with wedding planning before. Their level of organization was something we would have expected from a team with much more experience. Hannah and Tria were professional, but warm, friendly, and approachable.
After all was said and done, my husband and I couldn’t imagine anyone else doing a better job at coordinating the month of our wedding than Hannah and Tria. They were one of the best decisions we made and we are so glad to have had them by our side through the planning process. We even had friends and family telling us how great they were afterwards. If there were more than 5 stars to give on Unilocal,Hannah and Tria would deserve all of them for sure!

There aren’t enough stars available to give Hannah and Tria! Honey & Twine really made our wedding such an amazing day. This review might get really long because they’re just that good :)
We signed on with Hannah & Tria about ten months before the wedding for month-​before and day-​of coordination. (I really like the fact that they deal with communication with your vendors starting a month before the wedding; it helps to make everything run seamlessly day-​of.) Communication (mainly with Hannah, who handles most of that side of the business it seems) was frequent and helpful. She would check in every so often during the planning process, make recommendations when we asked, and answer any questions I had (I had a lot!) She gave very good advice throughout the planning process. The changes we made at Hannah and Tria’s suggestion (like getting dressed at our hotel instead of the ceremony site) ended up being really good choices! We also had a number of Skype meetings with Hannah & Tria, and you fill out a REALLY detailed questionnaire for them that helps them handle everything on the day of your wedding. They were very personable and sweet every time we communicated with them.
By the time we met Hannah and Tria (we live on the East Coast but got married in Berkeley), it was like meeting old friends :) They ran our rehearsal for us and that day, the day before the wedding, we were able to give them everything we needed set out at our reception (and Tria did a beautiful job making everything look perfect at the reception!)
On the day of the wedding, Hannah and Tria made sure things ran smoothly. They did everything you’d expect, but also went above and beyond with things like packing a box of snacks from a little post-​ceremony refreshments table so we could eat them in the car on the way to our reception. And I have to give MAJOR thanks to Tria; the hook and eye fell off my wedding dress some time between the final fitting and when I put it on the morning of the wedding. Tria was able to improvise and sew a new hook in the bathroom right before our reception, so that I could rest easy that my dress was not going to fall off!
Our family and friends thought Hannah and Tria were so sweet as well!
It was honestly sad saying goodbye to these ladies for the final time… we truly enjoyed working with them and cannot say enough good things about them! Their prices are soo reasonable for the amount of work they put in to your wedding. You will be very happy if you choose them to do day-​of coordination, and it will make your wedding day stress-​free. Thank you Honey & Twine!

We hired Hannah and Tria as our wedding coordinators and it was the best decision we made for the wedding. From start to finish, they were so delightful to work with. Hannah is an expert in wedding logistics and Tria is a very talented designer. Also, I could tell they genuinely cared and wanted to create a beautiful wedding for us. After the wedding, we had so many compliments and we owe a great deal of credit to Hannah and Tria. I would recommend Honey and Twine to any of my friends.

— — -FOR MY FRIEND’S WEDDING — –
As you can see, this is an updated review because after having Hannah & Tria as my wedding coordinators, I immediately recommended them to anyone who was getting married. Fast forward to this past weekend where they coordinated my HS friend’s wedding and the results were the same.
This time as a guest, I actually got to enjoy the wedding and their service in a different manner. Everything went smoothly. The decorations were BEAUTIFUL. And BY FAR, the #1 thing I heard all night was every guest RAVING about how awesome Tria & Hannah were. Literally. All. Night. The bride & groom thanked them. Every single guest knew who they were by the end of the night. I mean, who else remembers the vendors at their friend’s wedding? Apparently everyone remembered Hannah & Tria and rightfully so.
Plus, it’s always such a blast to see them again :)

If I singled out the one most impactful thing that made my wedding day the most beautiful, wonderful time of my life — it would be having the ladies at Honey & Twine as my wedding coordinators. They couldn’t be more kind, helpful, organized, and creative. They are such stellar problem solvers, that the day of my wedding I was able to trust them with everything — and all I had to do was enjoy!

As the Events Coordinator of Smoosh Photobooths, I’ve had the pleasure in working with Tria and Hannah recently. They work great together as a team and are wonderful in communicating with their vendors. Tria was very prompt in responding to all emails regarding the wedding. Everything was organized and ready to go at the banquet location. I had all the information I needed weeks prior and so it made the traveling and set up very easy. I could see that they go above and beyond to make any event the best.
They are both very personable and I can see their excitement when putting together events. I would highly recommend them for any type of event planning, whether for a wedding or just for a company party. I hope that we are able to team up again and help celebrate more weddings!

I am a recent mother of the beautiful bride and fantastic new son-​in-​law. Hannah and Tria of Honey and Twine are true stress-​relievers! Their planning of the wedding was organized, upbeat, encouraging, thoughtful, all the while honoring wishes of everyone-​making an idea better or suggesting a great alternative. Not a single detail left undone or forgotten, culminating in a wonderful, memorable day!
If you are planning a wedding or event of any size, you will not make a better choice! And reasonable, too!

Hannah and Tria are the dream team! They were with us, and smiling, all the way from our first meeting them, to tearing down at the end of the big day. Thanks to their help, the day was beautiful, and ran like clockwork, and was (cliché’s notwithstanding) the happiest day of my life. This was despite the fact that they planned our whole wedding from nothing in the space of a few months, with plenty of changes thrown in from us along the way.
I have been to many conferences and events for work, and can honestly say I have never been to one better planned, or more smoothly run, than my wedding. Hannah and Tria took care of every detail you could think of, and many you may not (at least I would not have, until it was too late). Their work took so much stress from my day, and my bride’s day, that we could just follow their instructions and enjoy celebrating together.
Prior to the wedding they kept us on track with regular meetings and a clear to-​do list each week, and were there for us every second for both routine (printing all our table guest cards etc) and non routine (e.g. personally coming along on a weekend to help out with a wedding dress tailoring crisis a few weeks out). They were there to help us no matter what we needed, and always responded to emails, calls or texts instantly or within hours. We really felt like we had them working 24 – 7 for the four months they worked with us!
When you hire Hannah and Tria you get a team, and their prices compared well to other planners we talked to where a single planner worked alone. They are both amazing to work with, and focus on different areas (event coordination vs design) meaning you get a lot for your money. Tria even created our photo slide show, which was wonderful.
The best part about Hannah and Tria is that they seem to share a single consciousness as far as knowledge of your event goes, and that they are both wonderful and positive people, and genuinely want to help out wherever they can, regardless of what your need is.
If I could, I would give them 10 stars!

As a bridal makeup artist, I had the opportunity to work with Honey and Twine a couple weeks ago for one of my brides wedding. Not only are they professional, they are so personable and easy to talk to and work with. Before I even got a chance to meet them, I noticed that they were on top of everything and really friendly! I usually always email the brides a couple weeks before the wedding to confirm and finalize all the services and timing, but not once did I have to initiate any emails with this wedding because they would always beat me to the punch: D, which made my job easier.
On the day of the wedding, I got the opportunity to meet Tria because she was there to keep everything on schedule with the getting ready process. Hannah, who I communicated with through email was not at the hotel, but was at the venue overseeing all the venue preparations. I know weddings can get very hectic, but not once did I get a sense of crazy at this wedding, and im sure its bc of Tria and Hannah’s professional and detailed planning of the entire wedding day. I think I lost count of how many times the bride complimented their work, and after I got a chance to work with them, I totally understand why.
