Events San Diego delivered an almost turnkey execution and incredible value for my event (a corporate luncheon - my company is the largest manufacturer of custom fitted luggage for roadsters and convertibles in the USA). I do not believe that I my event would have been half as effective at twice the cost if I had contracted some other company. First off - hassle free contract negotiation. I was provided a shortlist of target venues. Events San Diego comprehensively discussed the pros and cons of each venue with us. We eventually chose a place which had actually offered freebies that we would have had to spend serious $$$ to pay for extra had we chosen another location. To me this demonstrates comprehensive knowledge of the different venues, and a sensitivity to our budget. Secondly, Events San Diego was able to secure entertainment for my event that now fell within our budget - directly due to the savings they were able to wring from our venue selection. Demonstrates dedication to making my event as successful as possible within our financial constaints Third, even though we eventually had to contract out to several vendors for our event, Events San Diego was able to deliver a consistent theme - frood, entertainment, decor. Very professionally done. Demonstrates skill and experience As you may know, many corporate events are yawners, where you're obligated to come, eat and chatter, but would rather stay home. For us who actually have to pay for these things, its a disappointment when your employees feel this way after spending serious $$$. This event organized by Event San Diego was the exact opposite. Probably for the first time I was happy for the $$$ spent, and my employees happy, fully engaged and energized, and remembering the event for days to come. As of this writing, Events San Diego has not been on Thumbtack a long time, so there are not as many reviews as some. But as I understand, the owners have had decades of experience doing this sort of thing. And this clearly shows in the quality of work, the adherance to budget, and most importantly - the intangible of having someone who is as dedicated to the success of the event as me, the guy who is actually paying for it! Frankly, I think they are the best value out there in the San Diego area

Kathy was a joy to work with! She made sure everyone thing was taken care of prior to the event starting. She was organized, professional and very creative.

Kathy was a one stop shop for our annual department Christmas party. She found a beautiful, scenic location at Tom Hams Lighthouse. The party happened to coincide with the bay of lights so we got to also enjoy the boats going by all decorated for the holiday. Her food recommendations and selections were spot on for our group. She even organized and helped with our employee raffle. The decoration were also very tasteful. Couldn't have asked for more!

I had less than a month to plan a Holiday party and to top it all off my holiday budget was cut in half. Katherine at Events San Diego was very confident that she could find a venue with my budget. To be perfectly honest, I wasn’t hopeful but I gave it a go. Katherine went to work and participated in several vendor consultations and in two days she had a list of venues for me that fit my budget and needs. She gathered each vendor packet and presented it to me. Shortly after our meeting she followed up with the vendor information and individual breakdowns. She then coordinated and attended our venue walkthroughs and tasting. She answered all our questions and worked closely with our vendor to ensure our needs were met. This was one stress free event for me. From locating a vendor to event set up, everything ran smoothly with Events San Diego. I highly recommend Katherine. She’s very personable, professional, and accommodating. Hands down the best events planner you can ask for.
