A Wildflower Wonderland - June 2024

Venue: Folktale Winery, Carmel Valley, California

Photography: Pervak Photography

Florals: Willi Wildflower

“I hired Paige Fox and Paige Allenspach as my planners about three months prior to my wedding, with no vendors selected except for the venue, the photographer, and the band. I terminated the contract with my previous planner after noticing glaring mistakes at every corner. Paige Events had come highly recommended by multiple local vendors and so we gave them a call and were thrilled to find out they had one spot remaining this season. Many planners I spoke to after terminating my contract with my original planner were apprehensive about taking on my wedding given the time crunch and the fact that picking up the pieces of my former planner would be more complicated than planning a wedding from scratch. The Paiges were extremely confident in their ability to pull off my wedding despite the time crunch, so choosing them was an easy decision. Within days of contracting them, they hired a stellar vendor team (and I was a very picky bride). They honored my vision but didn't hesitate to push back when I proposed questionable ideas. Most importantly, they executed my wedding weekend seamlessly from start to finish (it was a 3 day affair). Beyond producing the most epic wedding weekend, with every single detail accounted for, they were one step ahead of us every time we encountered a problem— from fixing my broken heel to removing a lipstick stain from my partner's suit. I know from family and friends that there were dozens of other fires the Paiges put out that I never caught wind of. Even my guests were flabbergasted by how perfect every detail was. We have a few friends getting married this summer, and the running joke is that no one wants to followup our wedding because of how perfect everything was. I must be one of the toughest clients they've ever had. I have strong opinions, hold people to an extremely high standard, change my mind a lot, and am unapologetically direct. The Paiges navigated my difficult personality with so much grace and never once lost their cool or composure, even when I was admittedly not so composed. Hiring the Paiges was the best decision I made for my wedding, and I would do it again in a heartbeat..”
