I love bringing a couple’s vision to life and ensuring they can fully enjoy their special day. Weddings are such meaningful moments, and I find joy in creating an stress-free, seamless experience where couples can focus on celebrating! Seeing the happiness on their faces, knowing everything is taken care of, is what makes this work so fulfilling for me.

From the moment we booked CoordinatedbyLove for our wedding, their communication was very effective and clear. The team was organized, thoughtful and considerate of all our personal preferences, ensuring every detail was thoroughly planned out. On the day of our wedding, I felt completely at ease knowing the CoordinatedbyLove team had everything under control. They made the day feel so stress-free - I didn't have to worry about a thing, as they seamlessly handled any potential hiccups behind the scenes. The coordinator even brought us refreshments during family photos and packed us a to-go plate after the reception. CoordinatedbyLove's friendly, attentive service allowed me to truly enjoy our special day. I would give them a 10/10 and highly recommend their wedding planning services.

We all live busy lives, so allow us to take away your stress as much as possible to make wedding planning a fun and enjoyable process. By staying on top of deadlines, planning check points and communication with your venue + vendors, Koral & Ko. is your ultimate planning bestie!

Awarded Best of Zola
There are a great many things I can say about how absolutely amazing Koral is, and I will. But first and foremost I need to say this: hire this woman! We booked Koral & Ko for a “month of,” coordination package. We already had most of our things booked (venue, vendors, etc.) but we wanted someone to help us make it over the finish line. Most of our anxiety stemmed from small details, little decisions and doubt in our ability to corral all of our friends and family. Koral, made all of that anxiety evaporate. She knew all the right questions to ask to ensure we were all aligned when it came to the details. Prior to when Koral’s contract actually began, she would still checked in and even provided us with check lists to ensure we were on track with all of our planning. When something we wanted to figure out was too complicated for us to do on our own, we were able to utilize our Planning Calls that were part of our package. It was incredibly helpful to use her as a sounding board when it came to ideas and timelines! We didn’t realize how many little details and questions come up or how many people reach out once you approach the actual wedding date. Koral took on all of our vendor communication and timeline coordination to iron out any wrinkles. All of our vendors told us how much they loved how organized and prompt she was! When it came to our wedding day, my husband and I can honestly say we felt like guests. Koral and her team handled absolutely everything. There was a moment where a dark shade of lipstick was smeared across my dress and she pulled out a tide to go pen and cleaned it up before my grand entrance! She also procured a sewing kit when a groomsman lost a button on his tuxedo! And when we needed to find a family member or friend for a picture, she was able to track them down with the efficiency of a bloodhound. We did not feel at all rushed at any point on the day. Our vendors were genuinely shocked at the fact we were consistently ahead of schedule because everything was so seamless. The timeline Koral created was intuitive and well thought out. The day was orchestrated so beautifully that my husband and I forgot we helped planned this day too! Seeing our vision executed by Koral’s team was simply beautiful. Our wedding was kid friendly and we wanted to add a kid’s specific area for our wedding. We were able to add a design package with Koral because we had no idea what to do! Koral and her team create a mocked up design of a children’s play area and executed it perfectly! All of our guests with kids loved the idea! My husband and I even forgot there were kids at our wedding! Overall, Koral’s professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine passion for what she does created a magical day for my husband and I. We wholeheartedly recommend Koral & Ko to anyone in need of exceptional wedding coordination services. Thank you, Koral, for making our special day absolutely perfect!

Led by the visionary mother-daughter duo Paige Leigh and Christy Leigh, our team is devoted to creating tailored weddings that reflect the elegance, style, and uniqueness of each couple's love story. ~West Coast Based Destination Wedding Planners~

I am still so speechless on how perfect everything went during our wedding because of Weddings by Leigh. I truly wish I could give them more than just 5 stars! My husband and I were living in San Francisco at the time when I first saw their Instagram as I was searching for a Wedding Planner in Las Vegas. We were about a year and a half before our wedding date and I knew I needed all the help since my husband and I were going to be newly living in Las Vegas once our wedding occurred. Paige walked us through every step of the way and answered all of our questions through the whole entire year and a half. We chose their full on wedding package and honestly it was exactly everything we needed in a wedding planner since I am a perfectionist, my husband has his own OCD, and we both live very busy lives working in the medical field. There would be many nights where my husband and I would have a hundred questions and Paige would always be there to save the day. The love and hard work Paige put into our wedding was shown through the entire process where she would contact us to even make sure we were doing well and if we needed to do a phone, video or in person meeting. My husband and I had so many ideas for this wedding and had no idea on how to bring it together, but Paige truly exceeded our expectations. It has almost been a couple months since our wedding and everyone is still telling us that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Our guests are still expressing how amazing The Weddings by Leigh Team did to plan and to execute our wedding day. We would recommend them to everyone!! Even, my brother and his fiancee are planning their wedding in the fall of 2025 and they are so excited to use Weddings by Leigh to help them plan. My brother and his fiancee were in awe of how amazing Paige and the team handled everything during mine and my husband’s wedding. That was the best day of our lives so far and we cannot thank Weddings by Leigh enough. Thank you for your love, care, best customer service and hard work you all put into our wedding. You guys are in our hearts forever. Cheers to our new friendship, because after a year and a half of talking at least every week, we are now family. We are so so thankful! Truly, if you need a loving, caring and hardworking wedding planner & team, Weddings by Leigh is what you are looking for. You will really thank yourself later 3 Sending all the love, Your April 2024 Bride

From the very beginning, Emily was incredibly responsive and kind, answering questions and offering guidance in the months leading up to our big day. We really dove in a month before the wedding to finalize all the details. I had already designed and chosen the decor myself, and Emily took everything I envisioned and brought it to life beautifully. On the wedding day, she handled setup and styling with such care and professionalism. Every detail was perfect, and walking into the finished space felt like stepping into my dream. Emily is sweet, calming, and so easy to work with. Dainty Daydream is a truly special company, and having her as part of our vendor team was one of the best decisions we made.

I live in Texas but from California so of course I was getting married where I am from due to all my family and stuff. I was so stressed out planning from a distance but the second that Megan started supporting me everything was so much better! Her knowledge and guidance was such a blessing. On the day of my wedding you would think I was frantic NOPE... I wasn't frantic because Megan literally had everything covered. When I asked her a question or where things were at, it was either already done or already covered. She made sure we had everything that we needed throughout the night. Even through the craziness of the night Megan kept everything together and my day wouldn't have been so perfect with out her help. THANKS MEGAN YOU ARE AMAZING...

Hi, I’m Hannah - owner and lead planner at Amaziling Events! I started this business because I truly love helping couples create wedding days that feel like them - meaningful, relaxed, and full of joy. I believe wedding planning should feel like a partnership, not a pressure cooker. With an accountant’s brain and a creative heart, I’m here to handle the logistics, bring your vision to life, and make sure you actually enjoy being engaged (yes, that’s allowed!). If you need full-service planning or just someone to tie it all together in the final stretch, I’m always in your corner.

I honestly don’t know how I would’ve pulled off my wedding without Hannah. My brain is all over the place, but she stepped in and made everything so much easier and kept me calm. She truly made the whole process way less stressful. Even when I bailed out of doing a bunch of my diys at the last minute because I was too overwhelmed, she found the perfect vendors that we could afford to pull off the look I wanted. If you want someone who’s organized, professional, and super easy to work with, Hannah is your person. She made our day beautiful and unforgettable! Thank you, Hannah !

The first time I worked as an event coordinator, I knew I had found my calling. In 2022, I followed my heart and began planning weddings, parties, and events as my career and I've never looked back! I have a wandering soul. I was born in Massachusetts, went to college in Vermont, studied abroad in Ireland, struck out to Utah and have now settled down in Southern California. On the weekends when I'm not working, you can find me chasing the last 7 of my bucket list states, exploring our nation's national parks, or hunting for all kinds of treasure - from metal detecting on the beach to sifting through thrift store aisles!

We used Rachel as our day-of wedding coordinator. She and her assistant did an amazing job! There was not one issue that I knew about… She took care of everything. She is very organized, and had great communication and professionalism throughout our wedding planning. Thank you so much, Rachel!

We initially hired Dani Rose as our wedding coordinator, but soon realized we were completely lost with planning. Dani stepped in and went above and beyond! She not only coordinated everything but also helped us secure an amazing DJ, beautifully designed invitations, save-the-dates, and stunning florals. Dani's expertise and attention to detail made all the difference. She listened to our vision and worked magic to bring it to life—all while keeping us within our budget! It was such a relief to have her by our side. Thanks to Dani, we had the most incredible wedding day, and we couldn’t recommend her more!
