Luxe Events

Jenny & Cara from Luxe Events are AMAZING !! From the moment you meet them you feel as though you have known them both for years. The two of them make the perfect team!
Cara is the most organized person I have ever seen! She has the answers for everything. We loved working with her. She was very patient with us while we decided on some of the big expenditures of the wedding– photographer, catering company and music. As our wedding night wrapped up I remember seeing Cara (7months pregnant!!!) getting down on the floor to extinguish all the candles that illuminated a beautiful fireplace. Cara is a go-​getter with a heart of gold, and that is the perfect combination for a wedding coordinator!
Jenny is a creative genius! She works with all the design elements of color, texture, flowers and décor to create amazing results. Our meetings with her felt like we were chatting with our best friend over scones! She even picked up Gluten Free scones for me! She really listened to our «love story» coming up with ideas that incorporated it beautifully into our big day. Jenny is the «Wedding Fairy Godmother». No matter your budget, no matter your style… she will create magic for you!
These two women are beautiful inside and out. All of the vendors we met though them were exactly the same. Our wedding was a dream and all because of these two wonderful ladies. We highly recommend them!
All of our love forever to this amazing duo!

Best of the best. The entire Luxe team is incredible to work with. They made the entire wedding experience so enjoyable, easy and fun! Always going up and beyond before and during the wedding. Very organized and stayed on top of things to keep everything on track and run smoothly. The day of the wedding was just that much more enjoyable because of their professionalism and attention to detail. I would recommend to anyone!

Cara and savannah are hands down the best wedding planners in San Diego. Cara is very organized and helped me find right venders, and Savannah handled every detail on my wedding day. I’m sooooo glad I found them!!!

As a wedding vendor with 50+ weddings under my belt I can honestly say that Cara is the best coordinator I have ever worked with. Cara was well organized, mindful of the details, and went out of her way to support the other vendors for a successful event. Highly, highly recommended!

The ladies at Luxe are AMAZING! From the second they were hired they took what could be an annoying process and turned into something that was easy and enjoyable. We had NO stress as we were planning bc Jenny and Kara took care of everything.
Our wedding was elegant, memorable and stress free. use them best team for the best day of your life. It was beyond excellent and memorable.

My name is Lauren, and I got married in San Diego in August of 2014. I had some serious trust issues when it came to planning my wedding, mainly because I’m that girl who has obsessed over this day since I was a small child, but even more because I was planning my wedding in my hometown of San Diego while living in Austin, Texas. Cara North successfully eliminated any ounce of stress I had leading up to that day, and that’s no easy feat. I am not exaggerating one bit when I say I couldn’t have done it without her. My husband Ty and I hired Luxe shortly after getting engaged, and being on a relatively tight budget, we could only afford month-​of coordination, still Cara treated us with all the care and enthusiasm I would expect as a year-​long client before and after our month-​of service began.
Not only does she know what she’s doing, she knows how to do it darn well. She was attentive, available and understanding. She dealt with my millions of questions over email, and even more questions once we finally sat down to talk in person 30 days out, and even better, she had answers and a game plan for most of things I wanted to do, and if they were outside the realm of possibilities (you do have to be realistic if you’re on a budget), she was right there with an alternative idea.
I was that annoying DIY bride (which I don’t recommend doing for a destination wedding), but Cara and Savannah (who assisted the day of) came to our hotel the day before our wedding and took inventory of the TONS of décor I had made for the reception. It was A LOT, but they took on the challenge and executed it beautifully.
If you can hire them for the whole shebang, which I wish I could have, Luxe’s designs are amazing and better than anything I could ever put together on my own. These ladies have impeccable style and taste that will blow your mind. However, even though we couldn’t quite indulge in the full treatment, Cara still made our homemade pieces look better than I ever thought they could. Once the party started, she held our hands through the important parts of the evening, arranged vendors so we got the most out of the time we had with them, and produced a seamless day. Best part: she stayed to facilitate clean up and pay out our vendors so we could enjoy our family and friends, even though I wish they could have joined us for the after party! (Because yes, we had that much fun with her!)
The biggest pleasure of working with Cara on our big day was being able to hand everything over and just enjoy our day. There aren’t many people that are willing to take on an event as emotional and high-​stress as a wedding, but the ladies at Luxe are not only willing, they’re beyond able, and we were so lucky to have found them. In an industry full of inflated prices and people just trying to make a buck off a desperate bride, I can say without a doubt hiring Luxe was worth every penny and then some. They care about you, your ideas, and the real reason behind the big day: your marriage. I promise you will not be disappointed.

As videographers in the wedding industry we see all types of weddings and we can’t express enough the value of having a wedding planner, especially a super sweet and talented one!
Jenny & Cara make an amazing team! They work with you to design your dream wedding and then take care of all the details so you can relax and enjoy your day. And while you are relaxing and enjoying your day, they are making sure that everything stays on schedule which helps us, as well as other vendors, immensely!
The weddings that Luxe creates are gorgeous — their team is so talented at balancing timeless romance with modern trends! And details aside, Jenny and Cara are SO much fun to be around — you seriously want to be friends with them!

I would definitely recommend the Luxe Events girls to anyone who is looking for an event planner. They are super sweet, pay close attention to their decorative arrangements and color palettes, and make sure your vision comes true. I can’t wait to work with them in the future!

The ladies of Luxe Events are an absolute joy. Not only do they create beautiful weddings, but they make sure they run smoothly as well. They take all the stress away from the bride and groom, and just let them enjoy their special day. They are both professional but person, and fun but determined to make the wedding fun smoothly while looking fantastic. Their attention to detail is inspiring, I love keeping up with all of their designs on their website and blog. These ladies are awesome!

Jenny is unbelievable and she operates her business like such a pro. She balances the know how and predictable performance of a fortune 500 company but she cares. It shows and everyone I know that has used her for their wedding loves her. I love following her photos online and my videographer and I both claim Jenny as the best wedding planner in San DIego! I very much recommend Jenny as a San Diego wedding planner and hope you have the opportunity to get to know her business as well as I have over the years! Thank you for your dedication to your craft Jenny! I am so happy to have worked with you!

Since the day we met the fabulous ladies of Luxe events, I knew they were meant to create the most spectacular wedding, and see our most wildest visions and dreams come true. I am usually someone who can make the right decisions pretty fast based on my intuition and gut. Deciding to go with Luxe events was exactly that. Jenny and Cara are amazingly talented and are simply the best. We had their highest level of service which includes helping to pick a venue all the way through coordinating the day of our wedding and they did not disappoint. Not only are they planners, but visionaries and designers with the ability to pull out of you what you didn’t even know you wanted. I got sick the month before our wedding and needed surgery, and Jenny took over from there helping me with more than I realized was needed. Halfway through our planning, they added the amazing Nicole onto their team, who is a graphic design genius. She made the most amazing invitations, monogram logo, paper goods etc. for us and it truly helped glue together Jenny’s initial image. Their attention to detail is impeccable. Since our wedding two weeks ago, everyone has said how amazing it was and has gushed over all the small incredible details. They want to give us the credit, but I have continuously let them know it was all Luxe. Thank you Jenny, Cara and Nicole from the bottom of our souls for making the most amazing wedding I have ever and will ever attend. We love you! Beth and Mike

I am a wedding DJ and I worked with Cara at a wedding on 08/​10/​2013. I definitely recommend using her as your wedding planner/​coordinator as she is very personal, experienced, professional, positive and she will definitely make everything easier for all your other wedding vendors and, of course, for you!!! I’m very grateful for having had the opportunity to work with Cara and I can’t wait to work with her in the future!

My wife, Liz and I were so fortunate to have been matched up with Cara and Jenny. Our wedding was last saturday and it couldn’t have been more beautiful! The Luxe team was so professional and on top of everything, it was such a smooth wedding event. There were a million details that came with our venue and about two dozen vendors. Cara took the lead throughout and was the ring leader. She pulled together the most spectacular, elegant wedding. We are still getting compliments from our guests on how unique and perfect the wedding was. Liz and I cannot say enough times how much we appreciated the hard work and dedication we received from Luxe events. Please, please… if you are looking for top service hire them! Without fail, they will exceed your expectations! Thanks Cara, thanks Jenny! Liz + Alex

I’ll admit I was skeptical when my daughter told me she’d decided to hire wedding planners. I mean… it was a small wedding with an even smaller budget… would it really make sense to use a fair chunk of that money to hire professionals to organize 65 or so guests?
My answer now is a resounding, «YES!»
As Mother-​of-​the-​Bride, I expected stress to surround me like a toxic cloud before, during, and after the wedding. Certainly that’s what my friends’ experienced when their daughters married. Instead, I was relaxed, delighted, and fully present for my daughter because every little detail was handled by Luxe Events!
We had loads of questions when we started this journey; and every one was answered with creativity and kindness!
Who makes the best cakes in town? Jenny has some names…
What is the best way to make dinner for 65 feel like dinner for 10? Jenny has a design that will do the trick…
Which caterers can deliver fine dining experiences at a similar cost to the usual buffet? Jenny knows…
How do you get the best work from your photographers? Jenny has some tips…
When should the ring-​bearers walk down the aisle? Cara will tell them…
What about timing the speeches, the cake cutting and the sparklers so that everything happens when it should? Cara makes everything flow smoothly…
Who will load my car with all the wedding keepsakes? Cara and her team have already taken care of it!
WOW! I couldn’t be more impressed! Or more grateful. I’ve been to many weddings over the years and have NEVER enjoyed myself so much! Thankfully my daughter was savvy enough to know that it pays (financially, emotionally, and in huge time-​savings) to hire the right experts. Honestly, I couldn’t agree more!

The ladies at Luxe beautifully executed our wedding, with creativity, grace and a warm smile. I had them at the beginning for what is called an «Inspiration Meeting,» where Jenny (owner) helped me to nail down the look, feel, etc. — it was very much needed for me, otherwise I would have been spinning over the details. And, she has a great sense of style (and of course experience) and was able to plus everything up a notch — making it even better. Then, Jenny and her right-​hand woman, Cara, stepped in the month before our wedding to be the central point of communication with all the vendors. And then again on the day of they had us on task, on schedule, and everything came together so perfectly. I was overwhelmed when I saw the reception area for the first time. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart! You guys are awesome!

Luxe’s planners, Cara, and her team, were our ‘day of’ coordinators for our daughter’s wedding at Levyland, July 21, 2012. Essentially they were truly a ‘month of’ coordinator.
As the Mother of the Bride, I expected to have a very stressful week during that time before the wedding. I was wrong. I was pretty much able to focus on the little things that I could do to make the day special, while Cara took charge of all of the important management of the event.
She demonstrated broad experience, was great when it came to managing the other vendors involved in the event, and made everything look easy when I knew for sure that it was not.
The wedding was the perfect day and party that my daughter and her husband hoped for and we could not have done it without Cara.

I have had the pleasure of being a guest at several events, weddings specifically, planned by Luxe Special Events in San Diego. Jenny and Cara are both very talented individuals who love what they do. They are genuinely invested in each and every event and more importantly, in each person they are working with. Each wedding I have attended was beautifully done and the attention to detail was remarkable. I look forward to being able to work with them in the future.

I have been in the special events industry since 2002 and have worked with hundreds of event planners over the years and I have to say that Luxe is one of the BEST in San Diego! Jenny and Cara make a great team. If you’re thinking about or if you know someone who is about to have a special event of any kind, I highly recommend this company.

Luxe Special Events truly saved my job. When my Event Planner cancelled 2 weeks prior to the event, a friend recommended Cara and Jenny and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. They stepped in and took over just like they had been involved since the initial planning. I was out of town working on another event and the took initiative and called all of the vendors and did EVERYTHING! Honestly, I have no idea how they did it. I thought my event was going to be a total disaster after what I went through, but it turned out to be amazing! I highly, highly recommend Cara and Jenny!

Luxe Special Events is truly a life-​saver, the girls behind the name truly live up to their promise, planning great events and making the process as un-​stressful as possible. Jenny and Cara are great at what they do and compliment each other well with different skill sets, so each one plays a pivotal role in different phases of the event planning process. They planned my wedding, and Cara was on point, quick, organized and assertive on the day of the event to get the groomsmen to actually follow directions :) and Jenny is creative with a beautiful aesthetic vision, and knows how to capture the event and tie it all together. The day of the wedding would have never gone as smoothly as it did if it weren’t for them! On the most important event of your life, I would hands down recommend them, so you can enjoy the day and let someone capable handle the details.
