Every Last Detail Wedding & Event Coordination

Hiring Patty Speirs as my “day-of” wedding coordinator was one of the easiest decisions I made throughout the entire wedding planning process. Patty is incredibly personable, professional, and thoughtful. She knows that “love is in the details” and truly pays attention to “every last detail”. She is well respected among many venues and vendors in the Monterey Peninsula area, and has earned her impeccable reputation through years of experience and many spectacular weddings. Our wedding day was perfect and worry-free, and we have Patty to thank!

Patty and her crew were amazing! They made sure that every single detail was covered and had the ability to anticipate questions, requests, or issues and deal with them quickly and professionally. Having handled a few weddings myself, I could see that patty and her team had the experience needed to enable the wedding party to relax and feel confident that nothing would be overlooked. Every time I thought of something needing to be done I would turn around and patty was already doing it! What a huge relief it was to have her at the helm! It really made our wedding run smoothly and without incident.

Many people think that hiring a wedding planner tends to be high-cost and not really necessary. I used to have my doubts about the value of wedding planners, but after using Patty  Speirs of Every Last Detail Wedding & Event Coordination I know that there is at least one company that will deliver and make your dream wedding a reality! This was my first time using a professional planner of any kind, and I'm so glad I was able to work with Patty and her fabulous team. Our venue, Club Del Monte at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California highly recommend her and her company. I was in a hurry and on a budget for the wedding so I did not hesitate getting in contact with Patty. Prior to contacting Patty I ran into a lot of roadblocks due to my husband being in the Navy and deployed, so I was pretty emotionally exhausted to start. At this point we got legally married at the court house before he went on deployment and planned to have a big ceremony for all of our friends and family once he was off the ship. On top of everything else I was doing all the planning from Virginia Beach, 3,000+ miles away so I was in desperate need of help and planning. Once I talked to Patty over the phone I immediately felt very comfortable and pleased in everything she had to say and offer, and I could not pass up her amazing cost and affordable payment plan. She even offered us a great military discount. Once getting started with Patty I knew I was in "wedding safe" hands! She was very respectful of my needs and budget. Once I told her my ideas and thoughts she was quick with results and satisfaction; typically she would give me about 3 options and I would pick what would work best. Long story short with Patty and her team I couldn't have asked for anything more. I'm so happy to say that I would NOT have changed anything about my wedding day and the many days leading up to it. She's affordable, creative, and a complete joy to work with. Thank you so much Patty and the rest of the team at Every Last Detail Wedding & Event Coordination for making everything truly perfect for my husband, family, friends, and I. 

Patty Patty Patty... what would we ever do without Patty? We had a horrific experience with another wedding planner, thankfully we found Patty and she saved the day. First instruction... take a deep breath. We were trying to plan a wedding 6 months before the event... not too bad if you have people to help you and experience with the wedding process... but we had NO CLUE. Thankfully, Patty has experience (and I mean TONS) and she was able to point us in the right direction, set-up appointments, and get us a venue in a matter of one week... slowly the stress levels started to drop and we could focus on what was actually happening... getting married! Patty was our first line of defense from the first day to the actual day... she loaned us items so we didn't have to purchase them... she brought along an extra team member day of. Oh, lots of little details that only Patty could pull off. We will never forget Patty and her team. Ben&Tricia

We hired Patty as our day of coordinator and she went above and beyond the call of duty! She was always quick with her responses and we had no worries on our wedding day.

Patty helped us plan the wedding of our daughter so very well. She took care of every small detail and all the events went smoothly because of her planning. I highly recommend her as a wedding planner/cordinator.

Patti is an amazing person and she is a phenomenal wedding coordinator. She made our special day go smoothly and I couldn't have asked for a better day. She is incredibly organized and extremely responsive. She always has great recommendations and advice and I chose to go with almost every recommendation she gave me and everything turned out perfect! There are so many great qualities about Patti... I could go on for a long time. She means business and takes her job seriously, but on the flip side she is personal, down to earth, and so much fun to be around. I will always keep in touch with Patti because she is my friend and I consider her family. You will not be disappointed if you choose to go with her for your special day! The very happy Mrs. Martin :)

I recently got married at Berwick Park in Pacific Grove with the reception at the old whaling station in Monterey and can’t imagine how my day would’ve gone off with out the help of Patty and ELD. Patty is extremely organized and pays incredibly close attention to detail. Before the wedding she did everything from contacting all the vendors, making a timeline and recommend great vendors (no kick-backs, just trusted industry advice). She organized the rehearsal and even had nametags for everyone which was a nice touch and on the day of she was able to incorporate all my DIY personalized touches to make my day special on top of take care of everything behind the scenes from chasing off a second bride who was confused as to which park she was getting married, to using a pooper scooper at the ceremony location to rid it of the goose droppings, getting an extremely tardy maid of honor in her dress, to straightening the aisle runner and cleaning up and putting all our personalized touches in my hotel room during the reception and talking to the police after a noise complaint! I highly recommend her and her team, if you actually want to enjoy your wedding day stress free!!

Patty Speirs and the ELD wedding team did a spectacular job with my wedding. We had to get married on a very busy local special events weekend, because that was the only date available for my venue. Patty made sure everything was planned down to the last detail and everything went perfectly. I cannot fully express how fantastic my experience was. Patty helped plan and give information/suggestions for everything from the venue, caterer, flowers, cake, transportation, officiant, hotel room block, rehearsal dinner, finding a dress and alterations shop, photographer, musicians, everything! She works with any budget and has so many helpful suggestions, contacts, and vendors. She was always very quick to respond to any email questions I had and made herself available for any vendor visits we needed to make. It was a superb experience and I could not have asked for a better wedding event nor could I have done it without her!

Who knew there were so many little details involved in planning a wedding! Patty was extremely helpful in making sure the little details weren’t overlooked throughout the wedding planning process. While we were many miles apart, that didn’t deter Patty from providing a helping hand each step of the way. Prior to attending vendor appointments, Patty would make sure I had a detailed email as to what I should expect and cover with each vendor whether it was related to flowers, photos, hair and makeup, cake selection or dj’s. I never walked into a vendor appointment feeling unprepared. This was extremely helpful in selecting the most valuable vendors and weeding out the vendors who up-charged for every additional service beyond their basic packages offered.Patty was extremely responsive and would put together To-Do Lists every couple months to ensure everything was falling into place as it should. At times I felt overwhelmed during the planning process, however, reviewing the To-Do Lists every couple months made me feel confident everything was coming together and details weren’t being overlooked. Patty would offer valuable suggestions along the way as well as to what she has seen be successful and not so successful over the many years of wedding planning.Patty coordinated the rehearsal and wedding day ceremony. Her take charge attitude resulted in a quick and rather painless rehearsal (in 112 degree heat) and a wonderful and smooth flowing wedding day ceremony. Her presence the day of the wedding was invaluable! From lacing up my dress to bustling the dress before the reception, making sure everyone in the wedding party was in place and ready when they needed to be, interacting with the vendors and overseeing their work, keeping track of the flow of the reception to ensure each task was on time, making sure the marriage license was completed correctly by our officiant and MOH/BM, placing my flip flops under the head table before the reception started which was a godsend as she anticipated my feet would be killing me by that time of night! The list goes on and on. You will not be disappointed with the outstanding service and knowledge Patty will bring to all aspects of your wedding and planning process. My husband and I can’t thank her enough for her contributions in making our special day everything we hoped for and more!!

Getting Patty as our wedding planner was one of the best things that we did for our wedding. Four months before our wedding, we requested Patty's day of wedding services. We had completed most of the arrangements for the wedding, but there were still a few more things that we had to put together. My fiancé and I at the time were also out of the country in school so I needed someone that would be tech savvy and keep me connected to Monterey. Also, unlike other wedding planners in the area she would respond to emails at a lighting speed. Patty was so on top of everything and had wonderful contacts with other Monterey vendors. When I finally got back to the states she spent a day with me going to all my wedding locations, meeting with my florist (CC creations - Cynthia Fones) and organizing the details of the décor with my party rental vendor (Illusions of Grandeur). It was her lively and spunky attitude that made no task undoable. She even created the schedule for the flow of the wedding day. The day of the wedding I was so relaxed because I knew that both Patty and her assistant would be taking care of all the setup and organization. They did a beautiful job and worked well with both our families. Although there were a few mishaps, like having to call in favors to get my acrylic nails fixed and pinning up my wedding dress when someone ripped my under garments. There was no task they could not overcome. Patty always had a solution to every problem. Everything was completely seamless and I cannot express my thanks to both Patty and her assistant for everything they did for my husband and me!!! If you are a bride and you are wavering on the idea of getting a wedding planner, just do it!! Because it is seriously worth everything to just sit back and enjoy the day with your new husband!!

While wedding planning was a very exciting time for me and my husband, there were so many details involved in the process- we needed help!Patty and Every Last Detail helped us every step of the way during our wedding planning. Patty was wonderful! There were so many details she helped us with (little things that a new bride and groom wouldn't think to ask about/consider). She helped us find great vendors as well, including our late-in-game videographer addition! Since we were planning our Monterey wedding from San Jose, it was so helpful to have someone that knew our venues and all of our vendors. She was always just a phone call or email away, and always quick to respond. The day of our wedding, Patty and Irma kept everything (and everyone!) on time. Patty had sent out timelines to everyone involved so we all knew where we were supposed to be. If there was an issue, she took care of it immediately. She was even thoughtful enough to pack color-coordinated pashminas and gave my mom one when she got a bit too chilly!Our wedding exceeded all of our expectations, and much of this is a credit to Patty and Every Last Detail!!

Patty was wonderful! I bombarded her with so many emails and she was extremely prompt about responding and getting information to me. We even threw some last minute changes at her on the day of the wedding and she handled it extremely well. It was wonderful having her on the wedding day...my husband and I didn't have to worry about anything at all! She's extremely organized....her timelines and to-do lists are great for keeping a busy bride on track with things. No complaints...we love Patty!

Patty was the planner for my daughter's wedding last weekend. She was priceless! Her organizational and communication skills are top notch - she had a detailed schedule ready and kept everything under control. Because of her, I was able to relax and thoroughly enjoy every moment of the wedding and reception. I had no worries - everything was taken care of. Patty knows her job and I highly recommend her as a planner and coordinator!

Patty Speirs and her crew were AMAZING. She was worth every penny. She totally understood how my husband and I worked and thought. She was very timely and totally worked with our budget. I know our wedding wouldn't have been nearly as great without her help.

Patty and her team helped make my daughters wedding a spectacular event. The location, flowers, music, cake, photographer...she helped us with everything. Spectacular !!!!!!

It was great and more importantly fun working with Patty Speirs from Every Last Detail Wedding. Right from the beginning, Patty listened carefully to every detail that I was looking for and provided options that fell right within our budget. I chose to use her entire services from point A to Z and it was worth every dollar! Patty made sure you didn't fall behind or forget anyting by providing a "Things to Do List" at different stages of the planning and she kept track of closed and open items so you wouldn't stress out trying to remember all of these things. The amount of stress that is lifted from you is such a good feeling so when the big day arrived, we enjoyed every moment of it. I strongly recommend Patty Speirs from Every Last Detail Wedding.

My husband and I had wanted a small, intimate wedding on the beach in Carmel. We had originally decided to go at the planning and production alone, figuring a small wedding would be easy to handle- but after a meltdown due to details, we solicited the help of Patty at Every Last Detail. Looking back, this was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. Since we had a majority of our wedding planned, we were originally worried a day of planner might get us to change up our "not so traditional" decisions. However, Patty was awesome, and went with our ideas. In fact, her energy about some of our details made us love them more! It was essential for me to find a planner that was organized, and Patty most certainly is. From her quick response times, to the most detailed timeline I have ever seen- I knew not one stone was unturned. Of course our wedding day wasn't without its surprises- but Patty was able to handle every shot fired. The day seemed flawless, and it was nice to relax while Patty dealt with the issues! Patty's personality is fantastic, and she is a joy to work with. My whole family loved her, and enjoyed having her around. Patty allowed my husband, guests and myself to thoroughly enjoy our wedding. We've been married for about 7 months now, and I am still receiving compliments about what a lovely event our wedding turned out to be. We owe much of that all to Patty and her team!

I was not local, so Patty at Every Last Detail had to really be there to support me.... and she never let me down. I had a photographer back out on me two months before the wedding and Patty had found me an AMAZING one in less than a day. The big day went perfectly because we were completely relaxed knowing that Patty and Carol were dealing with everything. We found that Patty and Carol really did everything they could to make the day perfect. We have recommended Every Last Detail to anyone we know planning a wedding because they really made our day completely stress free and fun!

Patty made everything run smoothly on the Big Day, and as a result, I was very relaxed and had a wonderful time.
