From the Bride & Groom:
Irena is the main reason why we were able to achieve our ideal wedding celebration. She was a pleasure to work with, and we can’t recommend her enough as a full-service wedding planner.
From our very first meeting, Irena quickly got a grasp of our wedding day priorities, design goals, and communication style. She also worked to stay as close to our desired budget as possible, often finding alternate options and creative solutions.
Throughout the planning process, she was extremely organized, responsive, and stayed in close communication with all of our vendors, which helped us get ahead of potential issues. The week before our wedding was super low-stress as a result.
When the day of our wedding came, we could relax, enjoy, and be fully in the moment because we knew we were in great hands. Everything went as perfectly as possible on our wedding day thanks to her amazing planning prep work & day-of coordination!

From the Bride & Groom:
Everyone planning a wedding needs the Silk and Ribbon Events touch. Synonymously, everyone needs an Irena.
Irena worked with us starting 6 months out from our date. We opted for the Partial Planning Package and I cannot recommend this enough. We had already chosen our venue but the subsequent details/ planning/ coordination that came after was very daunting and added up QUICKLY. We needed a wedding planner not only to keep us organized, but also to keep us within our BUDGET. Irena executed on both accounts flawlessly and meticulously.
Not to mention - she has TASTE. Without her inputs on design decisions, I would have gone insane. Irena was incredibly collaborative and organized and methodical. We felt so prepared for everything because of how structured and detailed our timeline was. There was so much vendor coordination on the back end that we didn't have to worry about because Irena was on top of it.
She is an excellent communicator and really was our champion throughout the entire wedding planning and wedding day process. So much so, that when it came time to get married, getting married was the only thing we had to worry about.
As an example, the external sole of my mom's heel ripped off 10 minutes before we were poised to walk down the aisle and Irena swooped in with truly 3 different types of tape to put it back together. In any other circumstance, this would warrant a melt down but Irena quickly put out that fire as if it was nothing.
From the rehearsal, to wedding set up and take down, Irena had it covered. She was discreet, effective, and always brought a positive attitude. Irena took our vision and brought it to fruition then proceeded to manage the event immaculately. Our wedding was the best day of our life and that is because of Irena and Silk and Ribbon Events.

From the Bride:
Irena and her team were the best!!! We hired Irena as a wedding planner and it was the best decision ever. I was looking for a day-of coordinator to help with the last minute vendor coordination/details for my SoCal wedding and Irena definitely went above and beyond! I was very hands on throughout the planning process and was SO happy to have all the planning handed off, especially by Irena who is so thoughtful and professional. She and I got along beautifully and she understood everything I wanted which made the wedding turn out perfectly. Irena was so great about creating and making recommendations to my timeline and details that would make sense logistically and meet our vision. She is so great at organizing schedules, deadlines, and meetings. I don’t know what I would’ve done without her.
She was very knowledgeable about everything we needed to do, and she was with us every step of the way. She made our lives much less stressful (especially day of the wedding) and I can't imagine having planned our wedding without her. As for the wedding day, everything was perfect and went without a hitch! She set everything up perfectly, fixed the problems that arose day of professionally, and made my day so so special and memorable. She and her design/flower team beautifully arranged flowers, decor, and made everything from my Pinterest board come to life. I highly recommend!
From the Groom:
Irena was amazing to work with!! Our wedding day went seamlessly and I was able to relax because I was very confident in her abilities. All we had to do was walk down the aisle. We recommend Irena to everyone whether you need her as a full-time wedding planner to your day-of wedding planning needs.
