Absolutely amazing. I am a project manager, so I thought i was pretty organized and planning an event was no problem... I don't know what I would have done without Julie. Not only is she amazingly detailed oriented, she really takes the time to get to know you and what will really be the best wedding for YOU.

I actually hired Julie's husband Mick as our Dj and with the package i chose, she was our wedding coordinator of the month of the wedding. I am so THANKFUL I had both of them for my wedding!! She seriously made my life easy. I just gave her the list of my vendors and she pretty much did everything! I did not have to call any of them. She made a great timeline of all the vendors that were going to show up and all the events that were scheduled for the wedding and all of that stressful stuff.SHe is very organized, very polite to everyone, and always smiling. She is on top of everything, and she knows what she is doing.I wish i could find better words to describe how awesome she was.I try to find any negativethings about her..but theres nothing to find!Thanks to Julie, I was NOT Bridezilla on my wedding day!!Do yourself a favor, and Hire Julie as your wedding coordinator!!

I originally didn't think I needed a wedding coordinator. I thought that was a service for up tight bridezillas, I was also under the impression that paying for coordination would break the bank. I was wrong - month of coordination is for ME! Wow, things sure would have been different without Julie, and I am so glad that her services are so reasonably priced and worth every penny! I am too laid back to pull off a wedding the way she did. Every idea and vision my husband and I had, she made a reality and she made it all seem so simple. She is so organized, has exceptional taste, her professionalism is impeccable, her patience and perspective kept everyone calm - including my parents who wanted more than anything for everything to be perfect. They were able to relax and enjoy when they knew Julie was in control. It was such a relief to have Julie as the middle woman with all the vendors in the final month - she truly understood what my husband and I were hoping for and made sure to communicate it clearly and get everyone on the same page. It is incredible to me how she can so fully adopt a couple's vision - especially when she has at least 2 other couples that she is working with on that very same weekend. AMAZING!

As a self proclaimed planner/organizer I went into the wedding planning process thinking I would not need a coordinator. It wasn’t until we met with Julie that we both agreed we definitely needed a coordinator. The peace of mind that Julie provided was invaluable. Julie allowed us, our family and friends to completely enjoy every part of the wedding. She truly is a limitless wealth of knowledge when it comes to all things wedding. The majority of our vendors were her recommendations and we were hugely impressed with all of them. Her business name lived up to the hype and then some. Judy & Brad Collier

If you are looking for a wedding coordinator, I HIGHLY recommend you hire Julie Scrivener with “The Best Wedding for You”. She is so nice and helpful and was a savior on my wedding day! I am a little bit of a control freak and thought I could handle my wedding planning on my own. In fact, I already had a solid idea of what I wanted for my wedding before I even met Julie. But after meeting her, I knew Julie could provide me and my husband the peace of mind we were looking for on our wedding day. I originally met her when my husband and I hired her husband, Elite British DJ- Mick Scrivener to provide music for our wedding and reception. They offered a package that included Mick’s services as well as Julie’s for the month before the wedding. As an added bonus Julie made herself available to me at any time via email, even before the month before my wedding. She offered honest suggestions when I asked for them and shared stories from other weddings in order to help me visualize things. I know she was working on several weddings at any given time, especially since we got married towards the end of the “busy season” of summer weddings, but Julie ALWAYS made time for me and made me feel like she truly cared about making my day the best ever. I honestly don’t know how she did it! She sent out helpful monthly newsletters and even hosted a few evening get-togethers so us brides could share ideas and get more help from her. The day of our wedding was perfect. Julie handled everything, including scheduling the vendors and she frequently checked in with me to make sure I knew what was going on and that I was having a good time! She never burdened me with decision making on the day of the wedding because she made sure she knew ALL of the details before the big day! She handled any little surprises that popped up with ease. I never felt anxious or unsure of anything because I knew Julie was on top of it! She earned my trust early on by being sweet, accommodating and honest. I am actually really sad that our wedding is over because I had such a great time working with her. If you are looking for a wedding coordinator DEFINTELY hire Julie! She really does do everything she can to make sure you have the wedding of your dreams! Stephanie (and Jon) DeYoung

We can't say enough great things about Julie. She kept us organized and on track without being overwhelming or over bearing. I am so happy we made the decision to hire her. She kept me sane during the whole wedding process and helped my mom keep whatever sanity she had left. Although we only hired Julie for the month of coordination, she was more than happy to answer questions and emails during the entire process. She was such a pleasure to work with and kept our entire day running smoothly. I would 100% recommend her to anyone.

All I can say about Julie is WOW!! Julie from The Best Wedding for You is extremely organized and friendly. My wedding day was absolutely perfect because of her. I was not stressed about anything because I knew Julie was taking care of everything. I can't even count how many emails I sent to Julie and she always emailed me back right away and always had great advice for any of my wants or concerns. My mom said to me, 'I didn't think we needed a coordinator at first but hiring Julie was the best decision we made.' I could not agree more. If you hire Julie I guarantee that you will be happy. She is amazing at what she does and I can't say enough nice things about her. Thank you Julie for making our day so memorable. We will never forget you.Amy and Jonathan Willoughby

I agree with ever single posting on this site for Julie of the Best Wedding For You. I can easily say the best money we spent for the entire wedding was on Julie. She was referred to me by a friend-of-a-friend, and she was worth every penny. I was planning my wedding while deployed in Iraq, and not native to San Diego, so her insight into local vendors as well as extensive knowledge of the location site were priceless. We did not worry about site set-up the day of the event, and when I walked in to take my place for the processional and had a chance to catch my breath, I looked around and saw the room exactly as I had envisioned it. I was blown away. The entire day went by so smoothly thanks to her professionalism. Honestly, there are not enough words to express how strongly we feel about Julie's performance. Thank you Julie!!Rich & Sara

If I could give Julie ten stars I would. We needed a wedding coordinator since we were planning a wedding in San Diego while we live in New York, and she was with us every step of the way, with full guidance and support, not to mention friendliness and patience with all the random questions we had.After going through a wedding, I agree with all the books that encourage hiring a coordinator, and hiring Julie is a must if you're in the San Diego area. One month prior, she asked us about all of our preferences, wedding party - all the little details that we forgot to consider.On the wedding day itself, as the bride, I just got to relax and let Julie do her thing at the venues while the girls got ready at the hotel. Julie had checked and double-checked all the vendor contracts and schedules, and everything arrived on time, and the limo drivers knew exactly where to pick up and drop off the guests and wedding party.Julie organized the wedding rehearsal perfectly - she kept it fun and was really approachable and professional. She has a natural leadership and charisma, so the wedding party found her totally cool but look up to her at the same time.In the end, I hired a wedding coordinator, but we found a new friend in Julie, and too bad we only get married once!

I don't know what we would have done without Julie! She was an amazing wedding coordinator and helped to make our wedding more perfect than I ever good have imagined! She was there for every little question I had (and believe me there were A LOT of them)! Julie made everything run so smoothly on the day of our wedding and we will forever be grateful for her! We enjoyed every second of our wedding and didn't have to stress about a thing!

OMG! Words cannot express how thankful we are for Julie! She was absolutely incredible for the month of (and day of) our wedding. She was indespensible! For people who think they can do without a coordinator, we ask you to reconsider. She made our day run sooo smoothly and stressfree! Highly recommend.

Julie far exceeded all our expectations. In fact, my husband and I had originally thought about just eloping, but after meeting with Julie and her DJ husband, Mick, we were so inspired and pumped up that we decided to go all out and have the wedding of our dreams. I never really thought I'd "need" a coordinator -- or if I did, then just a "day of" coordinator -- but I can honestly tell you that Julie was, without question, the best possible investment. She is so organized and amazing with details, and as soon as she took the reins during the last month, I could completely relax knowing she was in charge. I trusted her completely, and that is priceless. She tied up all the loose ends, took care of numerous little fires, came up with brilliant suggestions, and did everything with a gracious smile and prompt reply. Our wedding day went smoothly thanks to her, and the best part is that my husband and I got to enjoy the day and didn't have to worry about a single thing - thanks to Julie working her magic. Hire Julie -- it'll be the best decision you'll make in terms of your wedding!!!!

We could not have asked for a better, more qualified, more personable wedding coordinator than Julie Scrivener of “The Best Wedding For You.” She not only covered all the standard basics of the average wedding coordinator, Julie went above and beyond in every respect. She made sure that nothing was left to chance on our wedding day. When I needed pins to hold in my headpiece at the last minute, she was right there. She handled all of our clothing changes (we had three throughout the evening), she made sure that all of our wedding vendors were on time with deliveries, and she also ensured that our cake, floral and dinner orders were correct. She returned our cake vendor’s equipment for us after the wedding, and made sure we got our refund. Most of all, Julie was always two steps ahead of us with everything we needed. She knew what to do, without even having to be asked. She returned every call and answered every email in a timely manner, more quickly than we would have expected. Most of all, she made our wedding day “stress-free,” with her professionalism and her friendly, calm personality. We highly recommend Julie to anyone getting married, no matter what or where your wedding venue is!

If you haven't thought about getting a wedding coordinator yet you are missing out! Julie is the reason why our wedding turned out perfect! She is professional, easy going, organized, easy to work with, accessible, and hard working! I was able to actually enjoy my wedding and everything ran smoothly considering we had to move an outdoor wedding indoors overnight! Rain doesn't stop Juile and she was able to transform an outdoor wedding into an indoor romantic candle-lit feel atmosphere all the while staying calm and organized. If you need anything she is there! Working with her and her husband Mick (Elite British DJ) made our wedding day unforgettable and guests still tell us how much fun our wedding was and how remarkably smooth everything went. Attention Grooms! Give your Bride-to-be a wedding present and book Julie as your coordinator. If I can pick anything, the one thing I would not have gone without was having Juile as our coordinator. Thanks, Julie!!!!

We never had a worry. Julie handled everything exactly as we asked. She, along with her husband, Elite Bristish DJ, made the wedding and reception just perfect.

One of the things I said leading up to my wedding was "I don't want to worry about anything at all, I want someone else to handle anything that comes up..." Julie did exactly that and more! Between her husband Mick (our DJ) and her, I was not worried about one single thing. She handled everything from my sneaky family members getting into the ceremony early to my in laws special meals to taking the blame for a bad seating arrangment (even though it was absolutely my fault!). Her professionalism was outstanding - she was thorough, prepared, efficient, easy going and so much fun! Thank you Julie for your amazing work. I haven't stopped smiling since Saturday. :)

Julie did a great job as the coordinator for our wedding in September. She is extremely knowledgeable and organized, and really made the planning of our wedding so much easier. On the big day, she took care of everything and made sure the whole day went smoothly, allowing us to enjoy our wedding without worrying about anything. We booked both Julie and her husband, Mick, as our DJ. They both did a fantastic job and were extremely fun and easy to work with. I highly recommend them both!

Julie surpassed our expectations on the day of our son's wedding. She took care of every detail to perfection. We also appreciated Julie's calm demeanor, which helped the rest of us stay calm. Thanks to Julie, we were able to enjoy the entire wedding day/evening!! We recommend her wholeheartedly.

Julie was a fabulous wedding planner that felt more like a great friend! She went above and beyond to make the day as smooth as possible and seem almost effortless. She is amazing at what she does and all with grace, confidence, honesty, and professionalism! She is capable of making the best wedding for you, and when I say you, I mean it's about you! She takes pride in what she is doing and it is very obvious this is her passion! That's what makes for a successful wedding planner, someone who loves what they do! Julie can make your day very special and I would recommend her to any Bride and Groom looking for a passionate wedding planner who will make your day the best it can be and then some!
