“Would I use Francine again? Definitely! She has a super strong network of vendors, fantastic design ideas, and great organization skills. She designed/planned our wedding a little over a year ago and all our guests are still talking about how amazing it was. She has a perfect blend of both design and planning experience. She was able to take our vague notions of what we wanted and came back with specific ideas for how to execute and make it better. The final product was beautiful and far exceeded our expectations. With my husband and I tending toward analysis paralysis, Francine was super helpful recommending a small handful of specific vendors in our budget and advising of the pros/cons. It was also helpful to have her negotiating with vendors on our behalf.  With her broad planning experience, Francine helped make sure nothing was missed in our process and ensured a smooth event. Overall, super happy with Francine and would highly recommend her to anyone else.

“Just wow! Suher exceeded our expectations this past weekend. I enlisted Suher help in design and execution of a dinner party on the beach in La Jolla for my husbands surprise 40th. Needless to say it was not easiest party to plan considering the location. I provided her with some direction on what we wanted and she took it from there. I just showed up! And I was beyond impressed with the execution of the event. Truly stunning taste level. It's incredible how she was able to nail the vision down AND go beyond what was expected. We are grateful for her hard work and will for sure work with her again on future dinner party events.”

“After spending 2 years planning our dream wedding, I can look back and honestly say, one of the best decisions we made was hiring Francine Ribeau Events to do our wedding design. Francine and Suher took my Pinterest overloaded ideas, and helped me to narrow everything down, pick the perfect vendors, and make my wedding dreams a reality. Francine was Always available and quick to reply to my questions and emails. On the big day, my parents and I could truly relax and not stress about a thing. The team helped set everything up to perfection. Thank you Francine and Suher for making our wedding a day we will always remember!!!”

“After meeting and chatting with several coordinators my fiance and I decided we thought Francine was the one. From the beginning Francine GOT IT DONE!! Our hopes were to find a coordinator who could take my wedding dreams and make them a reality, help ease the stress and to do's of the wedding planning process and recommend the best vendors in the industry. Francine did all this and MORE!

Francine is EXPERIENCED which I believe truly sets her apart from all the rest - she has relationships with the the best vendors in the business (or will find them; as in my case to deliver wedding perfection), she has high standards for the vendors she works with, she is on top of things and will ensure you know what you need to be doing at all times, keeps you on track with your budget and eased the stress from all the things that come your way when planning a wedding. From my ever so indecisiveness, to being overly concerned with everything turning out perfect, Francine was there every step of the way, she has an incredible eye for detail, she was very attentive - no matter how busy she was, she always makes you feel like your wedding matters most, she offered AMAZING professional advice on all things wedding as I leaned on her because I quickly learned "Francine knows best!" From etiquette to what will WOW our guests, down to each and every detail Francine knows her stuff!!!

During the wedding process Francine became more than our coordinator she felt like a friend, she was my constant during the process and on the wedding day when it was time for everything to come to light SHE DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Coming from someone who is extremely picky and hard to please - she made my wedding dreams come true and then some! I feared the day of thinking it would be stressful leading up to walking down the aisle, however Francine and her team are so organized that everything ran SO smooth, I didn't have to stress or worry because even when I had a thought or question about something - Francine had already handled it. Our entire day was magical and I can guarantee you it was because the hard work done by Francine.

Our guests commented on how beautiful and perfect of a wedding it was and even acknowledged how great our coordinator was from seeing how smooth everything was done. Francine, thank you for making my vision become a reality, thank you for keeping me on track and getting everything and every detail perfect and most importantly thank you for letting us utilize you and your talents delivering the wedding I dreamed of. You are one of a kind and would get married 100 more times to get to work with you again. From the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU.”

“I met Suher and fell absolutely IN LOVE with her. At the end of our meeting I told her, I told her I loved her and she's hired! I passed up someone I knew personally, to hire Suher because I just had a really good feeling. She was just so detailed in everything she presented. To think that our meeting almost didn't happen is crazy!

Suher went above and beyond my expectations. She had amazing vendor recommendations that fit my budget. And attended almost every meeting with me. Wow. I had to bring my kids with me to most meetings or meet at my house and she was just so understanding and patient throughout the entire process.

She was so reassuring every step of the way. Helped me figure out what would and would not work. Answered all of my many emails and text messages (even at 10:00 at night when I have last minute ideas/additions two weeks out)!! We hosted our reception in my backyard and literally changed 2/3 of what was planned last minute. She was very patient with my last minute freak out about how many guests we were going to have in our backyard! To say she made it happen was an understatement.

On the big day, I had NOTHING to worry about. Everything went so smoothly and perfect!!! My husband and family were so impressed! She 100% handled it!”

“My now husband and I absolutely loved working with Francine! We hired FRE for the full service planning and design and we are so happy that we did! From day 1, Francine was responsive, friendly and organized - which made us felt at ease since we were planning our San Diego wedding from San Francisco. I did not have have a vision in mind for the wedding, but with Francine's help, she designed a lovely garden themed wedding that was just amazing. All of our guests loved and raved about how elegant and beautiful the wedding was! I would work with Francine in a heartbeat and am so sad the wedding is over. I would recommend Francine to anyone that is planning a wedding or event in Southern California - she's one of a kind and such an amazing wedding partner with a great eye for design. You will not regret it! Thank you so much Francine!!!”
