If you are thinking about hiring Velvet Alley Events for your wedding PLEASE DO IT. Soltana and her team were absolutely fantastic. Soltana is very kind, professional and personable! Im a VERY indecisive person and struggled with certain details; she made it all so easy for us. I sincerely couldnt imagine my wedding day without her - it ran so smoothly because of her. Thank you Soltana!
Soltana knows her stuff when it comes to weddings. I appreciated how direct, candid, and honest that she was about the entire process and the amount of time and energy that she put into my wedding day. I do not think it would have gone as smooth as it did without her, and she did a great job at managing a large crowd. THANK YOU!
Soltana and her team were phenomenal! They made our entire day stress free and so smooth. Soltana took care of all the vendor coordination in the 30 days leading up to our wedding, made our day-of schedule and took care of all of the setup and day-of tasks. She allowed me to enjoy my day with my girls getting ready and I didnt have to worry about anything. She also guided us through the entire evening at a perfect pace! Highly recommend!
Soltana and her team at Velvet Alley Events were everything you could ask for when it comes to your big day. They were responsive, professional, and went above and beyond to be helpful. We were short two boutonnieres and had an extra bouquet. So, they made two boutonnieres from that bouquet. They even stitched up one of the suits that had a small hole in the back. Truly an amazing team that made our day so incredibly enjoyable and stress-free. Thank you, Velvet Alley Events, and all the amazing work you did to make our day so Special.
Soltana and her team were absolutely amazing at my wedding! They were professional, organized, kind, and easy to work with. Everyone in my bridal party commented that Soltana was the most calm and relaxed wedding coordinator they had ever met! I wouldnt hesitate to recommend her to a friend!
We absolutely enjoyed our wedding from start to finish. We have Soltana and your team to thank for that! You guys did an amazing job telling us what, where and when to do things. You also did an amazing job facilitating guest and running things by me, I appreciated that a ton.Thank you so much for making sure our wedding ran smoothly and that Patrick and I were enjoying ourselves. We could not have asked for anything more! Soltana, having you and your team coordinate the whole wedding was the best decision we made!
Hire Soltana and her team immediately!!!! Soltana was so professional, kind, and detail oriented every step of the planning process. We hired her as our day-of coordinator, and she made us feel so at ease and confident that she had everything under control. Our families were so impressed with how efficiently she ran our rehearsal, and how cool, calm, and collected she was throughout the wedding day. She took care of us all night, anticipating our needs and keeping us fed, with drinks in hand!! She made us feel so cared for, and not like just another wedding! She truly exudes such joy, kindness, and a genuine excitement. We can’t thank you enough Soltana!!
Hiring Soltana and her team at Velvet Alley Events as our Day Of Coordinator made it achievable for my husband and I to have a stress-free wedding reception and enjoy our time with our friends and family. Oftentimes people tell you that you’ll be so busy the day of you’ll forget to eat, well Soltana made sure we ate, drank, and danced our way through our wedding with smiles on our faces and laughter surrounding the venue.She and her team kept things organized, on schedule (which she helped us coordinate about a month before the big day) and helped keep our reception enjoyable for everyone in attendance. Leading up to our wedding day Soltana was available for our questions and recommendation requests. She also kept all of our vendors on the same page before the event and during the event; she was also able to act as representative for the emergency tent that had to go up last minute – which was a phenomenal help and kept me keep sane. Her positive attitude made the day disaster free and her attentiveness to our needs really shows how much she cares about her clients. Thank you to Soltana and her team for her wonderful work with us on our wedding day!
I have NO WORDS to express how wonderful Soltana is!!!!! She is the absolute BEST! We had a Persian/ American wedding at Eden Gardens with 215 people. My mother owns an interior design business where I work with her as well. She is VERY detail-oriented, specific and involved and very difficult to please and lets just say that Soltana completely exceeded her expectations. Soltana and her team went above and beyond to make sure every little detail we mentioned was taken care of better than we could have imagined. My mom always had someone by her side for anything she needed so we never had to chase someone down for help during the wedding and it just felt so comfortable knowing everything was in Soltanas hands! It is so difficult to find someone to completely trust for such a huge meaningful event that you have once in a lifetime, especially when you are spending so much time and money planning, but Velvet Alley Events completely has it down. I will promise you that Soltana and her team will take away every single worry and fear you could even think of. I couldnt have imagined my wedding without them. Thank you for making my wedding the most seamless, perfect day I could ever dream of, Soltana!
Soltana Mulhearn from Velvet Alley Events is an all star! We hired Soltana and her team to be our day of coordinator, and words cannot describe on how amazing they are. We got married this past October at the Gardens at Los Robles, and our wedding ran so smooth thanks to Velvet Alley Event! Due to our limited budget, we had done a lot of the decorations ourselves. Soltana and her team were not discouraged by the task, and set everything up to make our dream wedding come true! This company is truly amazing, and Soltana is such a sweetheart! If you’re in the area and in need of a coordinator, you need to go with Velvet Alley Events! They really do strive to make your wedding vision come true, and run as smooth as possible!!!
Velvet Alley Events, specifically Soltana Mulhearn, helped to make our special day absolutely memorable!From the get-go, Soltana ensured that we were taken care of. From the first client intake meeting, where Soltana had us fill out an exhaustive questionnaire and answered any of the niggling questions that filled our heads, to the many, many, many follow-up questions that we sent via email, text, or phone call, she made sure that we understood, and felt comfortable with, everything that would be needed to make our wedding absolutely perfect.My bride is a bit of a Bridezilla, and Im a bit of a Groomzilla, so I understand that, as a pair, we were a LOT to handle! From our custom-made centerpieces to our custom photos mounted on easels in specific locations around the venue, it was essential for us to understand natural restrictions of both the venue, and the staff for each vendor. Soltana was intimately familiar with all of these and let us know what was, and was not, possible, and worked with us, and the vendors, to ensure that everything went smoothly and competently. For many weeks before the wedding, she set forth a specific schedule of what each vendor would likely be doing every hour of the day, and walked us through the process as many times as we needed to fully understand how the complicated orchestration of parts would be fulfilled.The day of our wedding, we were absolutely blessed enough to have Soltana be our day-of coordinator as well (Velvet Alley has several day-of coordinators), and she ensured that everything, from our custom-made centerpieces, to our custom-made escort cards, to our custom-made photographs, to our custom-made program displays, and our custom-ordered sand ceremony paraphernalia, was all placed correctly at the right times, and even made many decisions that we didnt even think of to ensure that it all went according to plan! She even thought of some great ideas to improve the pacing of our reception the day of, and ensured we were both OK with her new idea before implementing it with our vendors. All of our guests really enjoyed the attention to detail Velvet Alleys staff paid to our wedding and how they politely kept everyone on schedule.Throughout the day and night, she stayed with all of us, nudging our bridal party along, gathering members appropriately when necessary, and even found and returned lost keys that had been misplaced! She continuously checked in with us to ensure we were happy with how the night progressed, and made sure we ate not only our dinner, but a little bit of each of our desserts, ice cream, cake, and custom drinks. I couldnt recommend Velvet Alley highly enough!
Soltana & her entire team are an absolute joy to work with! The entire process, from getting engaged up until the wedding day went smoothly because Soltana is extremely knowledgable and talented in what she does! She ensures that no detail is forgotten and that everything is in order for the big day. She works with all the vendors and contracts and allows you as the bride to focus on the fun stuff! During the day of, Soltana and her entire team are there for you every step of the way to ensure your day goes on flawlessly. If there was anything you needed or anything went wrong, her team was there immediately to solve the issue! We were able to relax and enjoy our night because of Soltana & her team ensuring that the timeline went on without a hitch and that everyone was having the best time. I highly recommend VelvetAlleyEvents for your next event, it will exceed your expectations if you have Soltana & her team as your planner!
My now husband and I had our wedding at Eden Gardens and we were fortunate enough to work with Soltana to prep for our special day. Since the first time we met her, she was super charismatic and we knew she was going to be a pleasure to work with right then and there. She was super responsive and always willing to answer any questions and give her honest, professional opinions. Soltana is all ears, willing to listen. She somehow always knew exactly what we wanted. You can tell that she loves what she does as she truly expresses it through her professionalism. She is willing to go above and beyond to accommodate your needs, and make sure you have the best, most amazing wedding day ever. My wedding would not have been the same without Soltana. My husband and I are truly grateful for everything she did for us, for our once in a lifetime event. Soltana played a huge role in what will truly made our wedding memorable.
Day-of/Month-of coordinators are something that I heard a lot about but didnt really know anything about when looking into them, and let me tell you - MONEY WELL SPENT. Oh my gosh, seriously, my wedding would have been a WRECK without Soltana and her team at Velvet Alley Events! Not only was Soltana really great to work with beforehand (she answered my questions quickly and thoroughly, gave me lots of helpful information), but day of was a lifesaver. It rained on my wedding day (when the forecast said it would be done hours before the ceremony, and it wasnt), and they were great at moving the ceremony, making everything for the ceremony and reception absolutely gorgeous, and letting me enjoy the day without worrying about anything. Save yourself the worrying and stressing over executing everything day of, and hire Soltana to take care of it for you. I wish I could have another event just so I could work with her again!
Velvet Alley Events was the best! Karen and Lindy were our coordinators and we couldn’t be more pleased! My initial consultation was with Soltana and Karen where we went over a very detailed questionnaire. We basically planned our wedding in a month, so you can imagine how crazy it was. They were extremely patient with us. I’m a very indecisive person and have the worst time making decisions, but they were so understanding. The day of couldn’t have gone better and I have them to thank for it. With all the craziness and chaos going on a bride does not want to have to think of doing anything but enjoying every moment. That’s what they did for me and my husband. They made sure we taken care of in every way possible and our guests. I heard nothing but compliments about their team from all my family and friends. If you’re looking for a coordinator I highly recommend Velvet Alley Events! You will not be disappointed!
Soltana is the one to go to. She really helped make everything go smoothly. She is kind, patient, and very helpful. Because of her my wedding went smoothly.
Received referral to Soltana from our venue, Hummingbird Nest Ranch, and am SO THANKFUL! We designed and planned my daughters wedding, then hired Soltana for month/day of coordination. As a PMP, I was very impressed with how quickly she absorbed all of our information and plan detail; she was able to jump right in and add value. She tracked and tied up all loose ends, and thoroughly documented our event timeline. I hired all the vendors prior to Soltana joining us, and she quickly took the reins and made certain they were completely prepared for our big day. Unfortunately, the day of our event, we had serious performance issues with our vendors. Soltana and her team were miraculous in dealing with all of these, which is not what she was hired to do. She spent the entire day/night babysitting paid professionals, in order to keep our event going, all without my daughter and her husband knowing a thing. She has a keen eye for detail and keeps her clients best interest in mind (prevented us from incurring penalty fees as a result of bad vendor behavior). Keep in mind, she didnt hire these vendors, she inherited them from me. But it didnt matter, she made the day happen according to plan. If youre looking for a planning partner, dont look any further than Soltana - SHES THE BEST!

2021-06-29 18:02:58Having Velvet Alley run our big day played a HUGE part in our wedding being the best day of our lives. With so many moving parts, Soltana and her team were on it! Soltana has a way of handling it ALL with ease and a super friendly, calm demeanor. Exactly what you need on your wedding day! She was extremely responsive via phone/email whenever we had questions throughout the wedding planning process and we were so glad we brought her and her team on for the entire day at Eden Gardens, our venue. I would 100% recommend VA to anyone. My husband works in the wedding industry with hundreds of coordinators and felt so lucky to have this fantastic experience on his own wedding day. Thanks, Velvet Alley!

2022-10-03 01:14:51Our wedding day at Eden Gardens was absolutely perfect thanks to Soltana and her team of assistant coordinators! From the beginning, Soltana was very organized and thorough as she asked us questions about our wedding details. She provided a questionnaire and list of decorative items that made planning simple and easy. She offered helpful suggestions and kept tight communication with us in the days leading up to our Day Of. I had been a little worried that certain items would not be set up as requested or forgotten, but Soltana had every little detail remembered and executed perfectly. We were also very impressed that she knew the names of everyone in our bridal party and even our parents. Our wedding day came and went way too quickly, but Velvet Alley Events kept us on schedule the entire time. My husband and I got a chance to speak with and create memories with all of our guests, thanks to the Velvet Alley Events team! We are so grateful that no special moments were missed. Our day was truly the most magical, beautiful day EVER and we owe a huge part of that to Velvet Alley Events!

2022-10-03 17:47:03My husband and I were required to book a wedding day coordinator as per the policy at our venue. They had recommended we book with Velvet Alley Events to help the day go smoothly. What we received was beyond what we imagined! Soltana and her team had thought of and took care of all the little details we would have never thought of on our own. Not only where they extremely professional with us, but also had excellent communication with our vendors. When the wedding day arrived, we felt truly taken care of. Even though our other vendors were late, Velvet Alley managed to keep everything regulated perfectly. They even found my husband a time to be alone together and to just sit and relax for a moment while they brought us our cocktail appetizers and drinks privately to enjoy. Soltana helped me put on my shoes as we were in a rush to enter the reception! They also took care of our bridal party and were supporting them right before their speeches! They were truly the best, I could not recommend Soltana and her team more! God bless your exceptional services!

2019-05-29 17:42:05My sister recommended me to Velvet Alley Events to coordinate my wedding, and I’m so glad that she did! Soltana was amazing, very professional, helpful, and on top of things! She is very experienced and kept the whole day running smoothly. She is very thorough and makes sure to go over even the littlest details that would be forgotten if I hadn’t had her there. I honestly would’ve lost my mind without her! I definitely recommended you go to Velvet Alley Events to coordinate your wedding! Thank you so much Soltana for helping my day go perfectly :)

2022-06-08 18:10:51Soltana and her team were AMAZING! The best of the best!!! We initially were supposed to get married in 2021, but due to Covid we decided to postpone our wedding an extra year. Soltana stood by our side through the whole process and was able to help us reschedule with both our venue and our vendors. I thought that this process was going to completely stress us out, but Soltana made it stress free and easy. There is no way I would of been able to plan my wedding without Soltana and her team. I always had heard of brides complain about wedding planning and how stressful and exhausting it is, but I honestly felt no stress the whole process and I 100% think the only reason for that is because I was so confident in Soltana and knew that everything would work out and be PERFECT.Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of. It went flawlessly and looking back, both my husband and I have ZERO complaints. It was truly the best day of our lives. Thank you Soltana and team for being so awesome, if I ever have a friend or a family member that needs a planning team- Velvet Alley will be what I recommend always without a doubt.

2022-10-04 03:53:29Velvet Alley Events was a pleasure to work with as our wedding coordinator. Soltana was very responsive and answered any inquiries in the months leading up to our wedding. She was especially attentive about the schedule and vendor arrivals for the wedding day. Soltana made sure we received detailed information about what to bring and the flow of the day. On the wedding day, Cindy and her team followed the schedule and frequently checked in with the bridal and grooms parties to ensure we were comfortable. They laid out our decorations for the ceremony and reception and collected everything by the end of the night. They also oversaw the vendor arrivals and distributed our tips to them. We greatly appreciate how professional and helpful Velvet Alley Events was in making our wedding an efficient, smooth, and joyful occasion.

2021-08-24 17:58:57Our wedding day was amazing and Im sure thats because of Velvet Alley Events! We worked with Soltana throughout the 2 years of our postponed wedding and then worked with Cindy the day of our wedding and both of them were truly the most helpful, organized, and kind coordinators ever. They truly care about you and your day and go above and beyond to make sure that even if there are issues, that you never hear about it! They just take care of it! Seriously, our day wouldnt have been what it was without Velvet Alley Events.
