We first found out about The Special Day because Carolyn was the planner for Karen’s sister’s wedding.  Upon meeting Carolyn, it turned out that she had also worked on another close friend’s wedding the year before.  Talking to our family and friends, we learned more about The Special Day and the services they offered.  It was really important for us to find a wedding planner because we felt the vendor relationships, the insight, the experience and most of all, the day of coordination would be difficult to do on our own.

Throughout the entire planning process, from the initial meeting to the wedding day, The Special Day really showed their expertise.  They found us incredible vendors who were professional, accommodating and easy to work with.  The planning schedule we put in place really helped take a load off our minds and limited the amount of stress that we’ve seen with so many of our other friends during their wedding.  The styling and innovative ideas proposed to us really helped make our wedding unique and memorable, while maintaining the classic/traditional feel we were shooting for.

The Special Day was a crucial part in making our wedding so successful and memorable.  After the wedding, all of our guests were so impressed with everything.  We got countless compliments on everything from the unique table set up, the lighting, the flowers, the food… a lot of friends and family telling that it was simply “The best wedding (they had) been to.”

We are so happy with our decision to go with The Special Day and think it was invaluable in so many ways.  They really shined in all the areas we were looking for in a wedding planner and would highly recommend them.  Thanks for everything Carolyn!~

Nancy & Ed were such a fun couple to work with, and always enjoyed whenever they would come down from San Jose for our meetings. The wedding theme was based on the blending of 3 cultures – Korean, Chinese and Mexican (since Nancy’s Korean and Ed is Chinese/Mexican). We carried this theme in every way from food, to signature drinks, to wine, to the decor, and the attire. The color scheme was a beautiful amethyst jewel toned purple with emerald green. Absolutely gorgeous Asian-inspired emerald green linens & chair covers with gold knots were custom made by Wildflower Linen. The abundance of orchids and candles galore were by Nisie’s Enchanted Florist. The ladies were prettied up by Joyce Luck Style. The A M A Z I N G photographs were by Ray and Erwin of Apertura Photography, and none other than the talented team from Elysium Productions produced the Same Day Edit!

To keep the spirit of Nancy & Ed’s fun personalities, they had a hip hop dance choreographed for their entire wedding party, which during the reception they changed into Adidas suits and rocked it out!

It’s also fun that we get to brag that Ed was part of the Ipad project (he works for Apple), and Nancy is our foodie guru in NorCal that we always defer to for best & delicious food! Needless to say, we enjoy a lot of time spent together eating the most amazing food!

Enjoy the deliciousness of their wedding!
