Sonia Hopkins chooses her clients the way most people choose family, with care and on purpose. Her studio in the Ojai Valley keeps a selective roster because the couples she plans for become, in her words, extended family, and she believes the relationship matters as much as the design.

With more than twenty years producing events across California, she brings full service planning and design to signature weddings for couples from around the world, typically with budgets between $300,000 and $550,000. Her team calls themselves gladiators in a dress, and the description fits. The style is polished and deeply personal, and the service is total.

She plans throughout California and travels for destination work. Her time, as she puts it, is yours.
