White Lace Events & Design

First, we cannot say enough about how amazing White Lace Events is! They won The Knot’s 2016 Pick — Best of Weddings and totally deserve it! From the first time we spoke until today, even a month after our Wedding, Krissie and Elizabeth have been beyond amazing! We really want to be friends forever!
Our review in short: Hire White Lace! Some may think they can do it on their own, which you probably can but with White Lace, they will put you at ease so that you can actually enjoy your engagement and treat the planning process as an actual celebration. If you think it’s an investment, it is more than with it! Think of it as one of the best investments you can make for your once in a life time wedding!

We were booking our wedding in the Del Mar area but were living in Scottsdale so we knew we needed a coordinator that had the knowledge and experience of the area we wanted to have our wedding in. We only spoke with them once before we fell in love and knew we needed them in our lives. We signed up to work with White Lace 11 months prior to our wedding. In fact, we signed our contract with them BEFORE we even finalized our wedding venue.
We were having almost weekly/​bi-​weekly calls so they could get to know us more. By the time we needed to look at vendors, they provided us with a «top-​picks» list of vendors that they felt bested match our personalities and were within our budget. And, we (yet again) fell in love with all of the vendors right away. Of course, they coordinated all of our introductions, calls and negotiations! They built a dream team for our hair, make up, photography, videography, floral, live musician, DJ and photobooth. They also made our wedding cake and dessert bar come true! And, when we went to check out our rentals — they took all of our vague conversations of what we envisioned our wedding to look like and turned it into a reality. The mock-​up was absolutely perfect!
Along the way they gave us a few things to think about. They laid everything out for us perfectly and never overwhelmed us with questions or tasks. While it was our responsibility to buy our wedding favors, pick out the wedding invitations, etc. they were always involved and offered suggestions.
When WL arrived to meet us for the rehearsal, they familiarized themselves with all of our special items so that they were prepared for setting up the next day and of course, everything was executed perfectly! Never once did they show that they were stressed or too busy for us. We truly enjoyed planning every part of our wedding — really!
A quick message from one groom to a soon-​to-​be groom, GET A COORDINATOR. It helps to ease both the bride and her mother that someone knows the questions to ask, how much things should cost and whether an idea you have is worth it to pursue. Having someone guide you through the process that actually knows what they are talking about will make it so much easier.
A quick message from one bride to a bride-​to-​be, hire White Lace! They are perfection. I was at ease every step of the way, I even had time to put together hotel welcome kits and send packages of party favors to the guests who weren’t able to travel to our wedding. Everyone was absolutely amazed at how calm I was about the whole planning process.
It was clearly the best decision we made and turned our wedding into the best day ever!

I could not imagine my wedding without their help! They are amazing and so precessional. I wish they could plan my entire life! :)

These Ladies are fantastic. I literally could not have done my wedding without Elizabeth. She worked with our budget and made it the day that I had always dreamed of. 5 stars isn’t enough!

The ladies who run White Lace are amazing! They helped me plan my wedding at Rancho Valencia in just 4 short months and it turned out beautifully! At first when I found out that my venue required a minimum of 3 months of wedding planning, I thought «why?!» but let me tell you after working with Krissie and Elizabeth and seeing all the preparations and coordination that goes into it, I know see why and was soo grateful to have them. They were able to recommend some other great vendors and even get us a discount!
They were always available for any questions I had and they provided a great timeline of the day so that I felt rest assured they knew what was going on and I wouldn’t have to worry about anything even remotely logistical. All in all I can tell you that if you’re looking for awesome wedding planners these are your gals.
You can tell they truly love what they do and have a ton of experience doing it. We are so happy we went with them because they really made our day flow so seamlessly. A huge thank you goes out to them!

I was fortunate enough to have White Lace work on my wedding on May 2, 2015. Krissie was my main focal point/​wedding fairy god mother. In our first meeting together, White Lace was nothing but warm, professional and genuine. That carried through from our first meeting to the wedding day.
From a guest perspective, our three goals were for the setting to be beautiful, the day’s events be well organized, and lots of great music. If we could cover those three points, the rest was just icing on the cake.
From a personal perspective, my husband and I are crazy busy with our work and personal lives (we had three siblings get married during our engagement, plus a few friends). Our three personal goals were getting things done on time; staying on budget; and getting advice on what items were worthwhile to invest more/​less of our budget into to achieve the day we wanted.
For me, the task of wedding planning was very overwhelming when we first got engaged. It became quickly clear to me from chatting with the girls that the sooner I got them involved, the less stress I would have and the more efficient I could be. The minute White Lace got involved they hit the ground running and I was 100% less stressed and 100% more excited. And my now husband noticed he had a much happier fiancée!
The wedding day went off perfect: all events ran on time; all vendors were present and did a fantastic job; there genuinely wasn’t one thing off for me or the guests (and mind you we had 235 guests!). The day was better than we could have ever imagined. After the wedding we had so many guests tell us how beautiful it was, how smoothly everything ran, and how it was one of the best weddings they’d ever been to. And that wasn’t just family/​close friends telling us that, it was all different sources.
I strongly encourage anyone who wants help with their wedding to work with White Lace. It will be the best wedding decision you could ever make!

My Husband and I had a lovely wedding in May 2014 at L’Auberge in Del Mar. Krissie is a SUPERSTAR!!! She handles every small detail like a professional– with class and ease. She made our wedding the most amazing day ever. We will never forget all the attention she gave us through the whole planning process– recommendations on vendors, got us some great deals with her savvy negotiating skills and overall care she put into making our day amazing. Krissie cares about every detail even the details you never thought of. Her heart is really into making every couple’s wedding day the most magically day ever.

I was so incredibly honored and lucky to be the first official White Lace wedding. Liz and Krissie are incredibly creative, talented, hard working, knowledgeable and most importantly, personable.
When I found out I had only 3 months to plan my wedding, I was overwhelmed. Liz and Krissie stepped in right away and helped. They provided a detailed checklist for an expedited schedule and made sure I was always on track, assisting me every step of the way. Their expertise, guidance and creativity made the planning process fun and stress-​free. The day of the wedding they took care of every last detail, even holding on to my cell phone and making sure my belongings got safely into our beautifully (White Lace) decorated room! Friends and family we’re raving about how professional, organized and helpful they were.
I cannot imagine a more perfect day, and I cannot imagine our perfect day without Liz and Krissie. I highly recommend White Lace for any wedding or special event!
