Celia is amazing wedding planner
I hired Big Day Service for our big day in 2019 and I have to say, that decision was the very best one I made while planning my wedding! Celia is the ...consummate professional - on the ball, creative, energetic, and trustworthy. Being a financial analyst with limited time, I felt fully confident leaving many of the details in Celia's hands, as I knew that anything I sent her way would be well-executed and accomplished with care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner.

Highly recommend to all my friends
Celia was instrumental in planning our wedding from the day we got engaged to the day we got married. Given that our wedding had both chinese traditio...nal component and western component, the wedding was an intensive whole day affair. Celia made sure that each part of the wedding went as planned.
We had a great time at our wedding and we attribute that in no small way to Celia's masterful planning. We had a relaxed and fun wedding and we are really thankful for everything she did for us, in particular, peace of mind. She is efficient, calm, tasteful, detail oriented, professional and friendly. She is like an oasis in any wedding chaos. We highly recommend Celia.

Big Day Service is a favorite to work with!
Big Day Service is a dream to work with! I can confidently say, Celia and her team are absolute rockstars. From the extensive knowledge of events, bou...ndless creativity, and relationships with the best vendors they handle all events with excellent detail and organization. To work with Big Day Service is to know you're in the best hands. What sets them apart from other planners is their creativity to making each event truly unique, and making the whole process simple and enjoyable! Highly recommend working with this planner! We could not have asked to partner with a better custom fabrication studio for our wedding. Celia and her team oversaw the entire creative direction and brought the vision to life for their client.

Hard working person, you desire more
I cannot praise Celia enough, and I knew that I would need help planning a wedding from far.
After meeting her, it was clear that I had found som...eone as detail-oriented as myself that I could fully trust to execute my vision of our wedding day. She went above and beyond my expectations: she was super responsive to my 2am EST e-mails, accompanied me on multiple walk-throughs of the venue, and even helped my godmother find the perfect spot for our day-after brunch.
I expected to be nervous the morning of the wedding, but I found I wasn't since I knew she would take care of anything and everything. My vendors have unanimously reported back that they loved working with her, and my mother can't stop talking about how wonderful she was.

Professional and Knowledgeable
Engaging Big Day Service was undoubtedly the best decision we made for our wedding. We planned our wedding over the course of one-and-a-half years and... have had the privilege of getting to know Celia both as a professional and as a person.
As an event planner, her process was creative, nuanced, sophisticated and highly tailored. Before the actual planning process started, Celia took a lot of time to understand who we are as a couple -- our dreams and aspirations, our artistic and musical tastes, our temperament. As we moved into the main planning phase, she gave us a vast selection of vendors from her portfolio, but helped us narrow them down to the few that she felt might suit us best. Her approach was always well thought out and balanced, taking into account our likes, budget, and the overall fit for the wedding. She had an incredible ability to understand and navigate our concerns and priorities, and then help us find our perfect solution. When we got into the details of the wedding, Celia's ability to weave in colors, textures, music, and etiquette speaks to her great imagination and taste. For example, we selected a pink, white, and grey palate, but she brought fresh pops of color into the floral designs and suggested whimsical, personal accents to the cake, favors, and paper that kept our wedding elegant and tasteful yet modern and fun. The final design, we thought...was simply just us.

Detail oriented and organized
I honestly cannot say enough good things about Celia and would highly recommend her to anyone getting married.
After my fiancé and I got engaged..., I started planning our wedding pretty much immediately. I had a very clear vision of certain things that I wanted and the rest of it fell into place relatively seamlessly. I had toyed with the idea of hiring a wedding planner, but it didn't really seem necessary to me since I had enough time, energy and resources to plan it myself.
However, the more I thought about the actual months, weeks and days leading up to the wedding and the wedding day, it became clear that I needed someone (a professional) to help me get everything in order (there's so much more to be done than you initially realize). My goal was to find someone who was responsive, detail-oriented and organized and someone who meshed well with my personality -- and I found all of that and so much more in Celia.

Absolutely dream come true
Celia was an absolute dream to work with, and working with her was, by far, the best decision we made for our wedding. I could not recommend her more....
Our venue had a wedding coordinator so we originally thought we only need a day-of/ month-of coordinator for our wedding. Luckily, our photographer was honest with us and said that we would enjoy our day more if we hired a planner. She suggested a short list of planners, including Celia, who she later said is "the hardest working person she knows". After planning a large (315 person) wedding, I agree completely. Celia was everything you could want in a planner--organized, supportive, responsive, experienced, and had great attention-to-detail, an incredible eye for design and wonderful taste. She is also an exceptional person with a warm, friendly, calming demeanor, and because of that, was an absolute joy to work with.
Our wedding was the best day of our lives. We were able to completely relax and enjoy ourselves because we knew we were in good hands. Everyone told us that things wouldn't go as planned on our wedding day, but not to let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Well, everything actually was perfect--all thanks to Celia!

Celia was beyond amazing
Celia was beyond amazing and I can't recommend her highly enough!
I am very organized and love planning things so my mom couldn't understand why ...I wanted to hire a planner -- but by the day of the wedding my mom was saying how she couldn't imagine how we could have done this without Celia!
I hired Celia for month-of coordination and she exceeded my expectations in every way. She started working on my wedding a full two months out and she was extremely thorough, organized, calm and responsive. The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect! Everything was flawless and exactly as I'd imagined it. Celia made sure that everyone was running perfectly on schedule, so much so that we were actually AHEAD of schedule at times so we had room for extra photos! I cannot thank her enough for making our day so amazing!.

Thanks for your help in our wedding
After realizing we needed someone to assist with planning our wedding, our search landed us to "Big Day Service." This was single handedly the best de...cision we made during the entire planning process. We had a unique situation of planning a wedding in San Francisco and Celia helped us every single step of the way. She customizes her services to the requirements of each couple and always goes the extra step to make sure her clients are assured and satisfied.
She is extremely thorough, detailed and her experience dealing with numerous vendors has helped us out of some difficult situations. Celia was always a telephone call or email away, often answering our emails late into our evening, despite our time difference! Although she did an exceptional job during the planning process, her true brilliance shined during the day of the wedding. Her and her assistant were 100% committed to making sure our special day ran as smoothly as possible. Their calm demeanor kept hiccups to seem like nothing. They work tirelessly behind the scenes and they proved their value time and time again

Very responsible and knowledgeable
Hiring Celia was the best decision we made in planning my daughter's wedding. As soon as we met her, we felt at ease, and knew that she was the right ...event planner for us. We hired her for the "month of" coordination, but we were pleasantly surprised when she joined us at vendor meetings more than eight weeks before the wedding.
I wanted to write this review using a Pros and Cons format, but there are absolutely no "Cons". Except maybe on our part, for not using her services from day one!
Celia has the perfect combination of people skills, organization and experience necessary for planning an event that involves diverse personalities, stress, numerous vendors and countless details. She is calm, poised and professional and her elegant and warm demeanor inspires trust. She was on top of every little detail, gave us great suggestions, and no matter when I texted or emailed her, a response would come within a few minutes.
We were all so much more relaxed after she came on board, confident that everything would fall into place. And everything did- Celia helped us plan a flawless, fairy tale wedding - I would not hesitate to hire her again!

Celia is very talented
My wife and I hired Celia for a month of planning. In the period before this month, Celia was very sensitive to our problems and very helpful when we ...needed advice. Just before the beginning of this month, Celia began to act. A month before the wedding, she and my wife visited the venue together. She also made sure to highlight the priorities we need to focus on in the months leading up to the wedding. My wife is very organized, but Celia uses her extensive knowledge to take things to the next level. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, her attention to detail was brilliant. She lets us focus on all the important details. A key aspect for us is how easily she handles the supplier in question. Celia and her assistant were very happy when our wedding came. I've been to a couple of weddings and the coordinator has been aggressive, which makes the event laborious. Celia is calm, focused, and always responds immediately when we need something. She can even quickly fix a family member's wardrobe malfunction. Thanks to her excellent management and coordination, the event went so smoothly.
