My husband and I were recently married at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn on October 25, 2008. We originally planned a large wedding in Chicago, where we currently live. But, once we finished planning, we decided that the event didn’t reflect who we were. After we booked the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn, Jackie Jones Wilson with Enchanted Weddings was recommended to us.

I spoke to Jackie over the phone and immediately felt comfortable with her. She listened and understood exactly what we wanted for our day. From the beginning, she was unbelievably accessible responding to any email almost immediately. She is friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. She has relationships with any vendor in the area you would want – from hair and make-up to music. After we met Jackie in June and saw our ceremony location for the first time, we had no doubts. This woman is organized! While it was a bit nerve wracking to see a room for the first time after already having committed to it, she assured us everything would be perfect and we believed her.

Once we started working together, Sarah Garcia jumped on the team to assist Jackie. With these two women on top of it, there was no need to worry. They offered to help with anything and everything…from making place cards to having my dressed pressed and waiting for me in my room that morning. I literally dropped a bag of miscellaneous items with them at the rehearsal and left everything else up to them. I was occasionally cued to do something…like walk down the aisle or cut the cake…but other than that, we just enjoyed ourselves. I am pretty sure that’s what it is all about.

We can’t thank Jackie or Sarah enough for their professionalism and attention to detail. They truly exceeded our expectations. We are still enjoying all the comments from our guests about how beautiful and fun our wedding was. Little do they know, it was all Enchanted Weddings…we just showed up.
