Hired on Thumbtack

I was the "bride without a plan" with only a few months to go before our wedding. Hiring Events,Etcetera was THE best decision that I made. All of the tiniest of details were addressed. Pam thought of EVERYTHING and had a back-up plan to the back-up plan. She made sure that I stayed on task with making decisions and booking vendors. I am a natural worrier, but I never worried about our wedding once Events, Etc became our event coordinator.

Pam, and her assistant Alex, were a godsend. I have been going through a lot, dealing with my mom's health issues and trying to plan my wedding at the same time. Pam stepped in about 5 months before the wedding and kept me on track, kept me organized, called me weekly to check in, and reassured me. I don't know what I would have done without her. She never tried to upsell me on vendors, she just made suggestions and was willing to work with me and my budget. I have received so many compliments about my beautiful wedding, how organized, and how on time everything was! I highly recommend Events, Etcetera for all your wedding planning needs!

It is crystal clear: the love you two share will shine For Ever. Enjoy.Every.Single.Minute.Together.

Pam from Events, Etcetera did an outstanding job with coordinating our wedding. She was highly professional and organized, and she checked in with us at regular intervals to ensure that we were on track with our planning. She helped us get everything arranged with our vendors and offered helpful suggestions to manage our deliveries and pickups. Pam also tailored her services to fit our needs, which set her apart from other coordinators that we considered working with. I would definitely recommend her to other couples who are looking for a coordinator.

Pam and her team are amazing! Pam coordinated our wedding of about 85 guests on a secluded private residence in Grass Valley. Pam has an incredible way of considering every detail to make sure that our wedding would be worry free and she was ready to help with just about anything. After the wedding, I even found out that we had run out of ice for the bar and that Pam's assistant, Courtney, had gone on an ice run to save the day - you are the best! It was such a pleasure working with Events Etcetera, we are thrilled to have found them for our wedding and would recommend them for any event planning. Thank you so much Pam! -Sarah and Fred

I am so happy that I found Pam. She was absolutely great! She made sure she understood what was important to me, and made sure that that was prioritized. That really meant a lot to me. She and I did not meet until the wedding rehearsal as we were in different locations, but we never had any issues. She also did not see the venue until the rehearsal, but she communicated so well with every vendor to understand the layout and flow of events that needed to happen. Pam was on top of everything! I was able to "let go" the week of the wedding which is hard for me to do about anything, but I trusted Pam and it worked out well. Thank you Pam! I wanted to not worry about ANYTHING the day of, and you DEFINITELY gave me that!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Wedding and special event pricing is based on the specific services and level of services each client requests. I work with each client to understand what their vision for their event is and, based on their budget, what types of services they will need. Wedding packages for each couple are custom designed to meet each couple's specific needs, requirements, and budget.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Starting with a telephone consultation, it is important that both the client and I make a connection. I then forward Client Information and Questionnaire forms that also help me to understand what specific services and assistance the client is requesting. When the client decides to move forward with my services, we begin designing and planning all of the details required to achieve their vision for their special event.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
During my career as Programs Coordinator (conferences and trade shows, including receptions and special events) for corporate events, I attended California State University, Sacramento, and completed the Meeting Planning Certificate Program (1994). On April 6, 2016, I completed CSUS's Continuing Education: Meeting and Event Planning Certificate Program. Since August 2015, I have been an Event Consultant (Special Events) at a winery located in El Dorado County. Continuing Education: The David Tutera Mentorship Program.
