We booked the wedding day management service with Love and Life Events for our recent wedding and had an amazing experience! We had a backyard wedding so we knew we needed extra help with all the moving parts to avoid being overwhelmed on our wedding day. We worked with Giselle and she was so kind and such a pleasure to work with! She was super easy to communicate with and very responsive to any questions we had. We felt that the team genuinely cared and was willing to step in anywhere needed to ensure we had a memorable day which helped put us at ease. It was great to have someone coordinate with our vendors the month of so that we could focus on all the other little details. On wedding day, Giselle and her team handled everything and communicated with all the vendors so that we could just focus on enjoying ourselves. We had a power issue and they were able to troubleshoot it quickly to make sure the day still ran smoothly. We had to flip our ceremony space for the reception and it felt like we blinked and everything was done already! They also helped set up all our florals and decor and everything looked so beautiful! Our timeline stayed on track and everyone had a great time. Would highly recommend Love and Life Events to all couples! They were such a crucial part of having a smooth wedding and we couldn’t have done it without them! Big THANK YOU to Giselle and the whole team. We’d love to work with them for any other big celebrations in the future!

I barely have the right word to describe how amazing this team was. From the begining of the process, I felt like they really understood me and my partner. They asked all the right questions, clearly lined out what I could expect (which exceeded my expectations) and over delivered. I was the most relaxed bride there ever was and it had everything to do with them. They had my complete trust which allowed me to not have to think of anything on my wedding day. They fully understood me. They made me feel like family. They felt as close and important to me as my own family. They supported me and carried me through the day. They cried happy tears with me once I was finally married. Surely, I have to be special to them and they'll never forget me ;) Well at least that is the way they made me feel and that really speaks to them and their work and how amazing they are at what they do. Hardest part of my wedding day was saying goodbye to them at the end of the night. I can not thank them enough.

I contacted Terri, at TMF, to discuss my daughter’s upcoming bridal shower and she was amazing!  I had a few ideas of what I was looking for and she understood what I was imagining and really refined what I was thinking and converted my few thoughts into a cohesive theme and a beautiful event for my daughter! The bridal shower was beautiful!  The decor, theme, drinks, food, tables and chairs, decorations, umbrellas… and so many details… all came together so beautifully. It was quite impressive to see the event space transformed into my daughter’s dream shower! Because Terri is so creative, organized, resourceful and is a great communicator, I was able to host my daughter’s bridal shower and actually participate and enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime moment stress free.  I highly recommend contacting Terri/TMF to anybody who wants a true professional to create an amazing event guests will really love and you can be proud to host.

Working with Hannah was one of the best parts of our wedding planning experience. We hired her for partial planning, and from the very beginning, she made everything feel so manageable and stress-free. She really took the time to understand our preferences and helped us find the perfect vendors that matched our vision and vibe. Hannah was always organized, responsive, and incredibly helpful. Whether it was hopping on frequent Zoom calls, keeping us on track with timelines, or replying to texts with thoughtful advice (even for the tiniest of questions). Her calm and kind energy made the whole process not only smoother but also more fun. One huge bonus: her team also offers wedding rentals! We rented candles, décor, and a large seating chart from them, which was such a lifesaver. We didn’t want to deal with sourcing all of those items or figuring out what to do with them afterward, so being able to rent directly through her made everything so much easier. Our wedding day went so smoothly, nothing went wrong (or if it did, I had no idea, because Hannah was on top of everything!). I wouldn't change a single thing about it. It was truly perfect, and a big part of that is thanks to her. Now that the wedding is over, I honestly feel sad I won’t get to work with Hannah anymore! If you're even slightly on the fence about hiring a planner, do yourself a favor and reach out to Joyfully. They were such an essential part of making our day as amazing as it was.

Awarded Best of Zola
Summary/TLDR:  We had a big wedding with a lot of complex personal decor set up and Kimberly and Travis went above and beyond! Lessen your stress and book her! Full review: My now husband and I had a big wedding at the Disneyland Hotel, and Disney does not handle any personal floral or decor, so we knew we would need help!  We hired Kimberly for her full day of coordination service for things not provided by Disney, and it was one of the best decisions we made.  When I first reached out, she responded quickly to let me know of her services and to set up a call. I was already pretty set on hiring her from the reviews I'd seen, but the call was also extremely helpful! After hearing about our details, she recommended a DJ for us to request from Disney, who was absolutely perfect for our wedding! In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Kimberly checked in to see how I was doing and if I needed help with anything, even though I had only hired her for the day of coordination, which was so kind and thoughtful!  We had a large wedding with over 250 guests, and our bridal party was huge as well, so there were a lot of moving parts.  I was pretty frantic the morning of our wedding as I had overslept with so much left to do. Kimberly was so helpful with everything - and really helped reduce and lessen my stress, which as anyone getting married would know, is priceless! Kimberly and her husband handled all of our personal items so well! Several of which had to be set up multiple times (e.g for the ceremony and then for cocktail hour or for cocktail hour and for the reception). We had multiple guestbooks, some of which had multiple parts, multiple card boxes, favors for each family that had to be set up alphabetically (150 bags), a huge memorial table full of pictures that I wanted set up in a very specific way, reserved row signs, a welcome sign, Filipino shawls for the wedding godmothers, custom bar signs, Venmo signs for the money dance etc. We also enlisted their help last minute to help guide people to their table for the reception because of the way our seating chart was set up. Some cousins were supposed to help with that but got caught up in the moment and forgot! But Kimberly and Travis handled it themselves and made sure everything went smoothly! At the end of the night, she and Travis made sure to pack up all of our personal items and bring them back to our getting ready room.  Kimberly and Travis also worked seamlessly with the Disney staff and other vendors! After the reception ended, I realized I had lost track of my Disney bouquet, to which I had attached irreplaceable sentimental items, and Kimberly, who was on her way home, texted our Disney day of coordinator to help us find it in the nick of time!!  If Kimberly was this fantastic with just day of service, I can't even imagine how incredible she is with full planning. I absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone! Brides and grooms - do yourself a favor and hire Her!

I was so lucky to meet Joey at one of the bridal expos. Out of all the vendors we met that day, she stood out the most—she was so genuine, and it was clear she’s truly passionate about what she does. At the time, I was already more than halfway through my wedding planning, and I honestly wish I had met her earlier. She’s a one-stop shop and offers such a wide range of services! Our wedding was tennis-themed, and I had some specific decor elements I wanted to include. Joey did an amazing job designing everything—from the tablescape, seating chart, and wedding signs to the arch and sweetheart table. She completely brought my vision to life. We also happened to get married on the hottest day of the year, and Joey and her husband still went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. I highly recommend working with Joey and being open about your wedding vision—because she can truly do it all!

Hi! I’m Serenity — SoCal-based wedding planner, Day of Coordination pro, and unapologetic lover of crisp Diet Coke. I started out slinging appetizers as a banquet server and worked my way up through the wedding world, from intern to venue coordinator to full-blown planner. Now, I lead a team of professional knot tiers who live for the little details and smooth timelines. You bring the romance — we’ll bring the timelines, the tissues, and maybe a spare safety pin or two.

We had the privilege of having Serenity as our day-of coordinator on our special day and she was absolutely the BEST!!! Serenity is so talented at what she does! She is very organized, detail oriented, thoughtful, and so kind. She took care of ALL the details for us and made sure everything was planned ahead. We did not have to worry about a single thing the day of— we just got to sit back and enjoy the day (as it should be). She also assisted in setting up our personal decor at the venue and did a perfect job with her assistant. We were so beyond happy with how everything looked. I got so many compliments from family and friends saying how amazing the timeline of the day was and also how everything flowed so well (thanks to Serenity!!). So if you’re looking for a day-of coordinator do yourselves the biggest favor and hire Serenity! You’ll be so happy you did!! Thank you for everything Serenity, you’re awesome at what you do!

I’m Ashley, the owner of Rose Event Co. I love being able to share in the love of two individuals and feel lucky to get to work with such wonderful people each day! I’ve been planning weddings and events for over eight years now, and I couldn’t be more thankful with where I am now in my business. I primarily serve the OR | WA | CA markets, but will travel anywhere!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Ashley at Rose Event Co as our Day of Wedding Coordinator was definitely one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. I thought I was going to be able to manage planning our entire wedding myself, but as the day crept closer and closer, I realized that I was definitely going to need a hand. We spoke with a dozen different coordinators, and Ashley just stood out SO strongly amongst the rest. To put it as simply as possible, she saw our vision, she understood it, she stood in and shared in it with us. She knew exactly how to support us in making it happen, and she was easily able to make us feel that. We initially had concerns about her being located so far away from us (we're in Oakland, CA), but she put those concerns to rest so quickly! Throughout my months of planning after hiring Ashley, she was always there to answer my questions, and provide support and reassurance in all of the little things that I just wasn't sure how to handle myself, and she did so with such grace, patience, and an air of calm that was so extremely helpful and reassuring. When the month of our wedding arrived, Ashley quickly got to work on communicating with and organizing all of our vendors and laying out the structure for the day. She traveled to Monte Rio to be with us the day before our big day, walked us through the ceremony, went over all of the details, and left us so confident and comfortable in her extremely capable hands. The day of the wedding, Ashley handled EVERYTHING and EVERYONE with such care and tranquility. All of our wedding vendors absolutely loved her, and we never stopped hearing about how great she was to work with! Ashley is an absolute BOSS in all of the best ways that you can imagine! She is supportive, encouraging, communicative, active, helpful, caring, the list just goes on and on. She wants you to succeed, and you can FEEL it. She remembered and double checked on all of the little details, before, during, and after our wedding, and words simply cannot express our gratitude. She did so many things automatically, that I hadn't even thought to discuss with her, but was so grateful that we had her there to do. Thank you Ashley!! She did so many little things that I didn't even realize until I started looking through all of our photos, and noticed that they had all been done. On top of all of that, she basically packed up the entirety of our decor with the assistance of her extremely helpful husband, which was such a huge relief for us and for our wedding party who had put so much into the day. We were all able to completely disconnect and just enjoy the evening, which was so unbelievably priceless. There are so many things that make Ashley stand out from other coordinators. So many coordinators that we had talked to before Ashley had a big list of things that they would NOT do, but not Ashley. She was willing to do whatever needed to be done to ensure that our wedding day went perfectly, and it did, thanks to her!! HUGE bonus, she brought along her Super 8 camera, and we CANNOT WAIT to see the footage!! If you're looking for someone who has your back, and can handle ALL of the things with a level of calm that oozes into everyone around her, HIRE ASHLEY! You absolutely will not regret it. Thank you so much Ashley, for EVERYTHING that you did, and for ALL of your help in making our wedding day so unbelievably perfect!!

We specialize in creating personalized, unforgettable weddings that reflect your unique style and vision. With a focus on seamless coordination, creative design, and attention to every detail, we ensure your special day is stress-free and perfectly executed.

If you are reading this because you are looking to hire a wedding planner. STOP LOOKING AND HIRE SAM. I had her as my day-of coordinator and have ZERO regrets. She picked up all the planning about a month and a half before my wedding and she could not have stepped in at a better time. That last couple of months before your wedding is a tornado of payment deadlines and vendor meetings. No matter how organized you are, it is A LOT to keep track of. Sam helped make sure all my deadlines were met and picked up all the last-minute things that I hadn’t even thought of. She was able to provide great vendor recommendations for things I hadn’t checked off my list. I am the type of person that finds things easier if I do it myself and it’s difficult for me to ask for help. However, I quickly realized that I could ask Sam anything and trust that she would get it done. She was always available and responsive via text, call or email. Not only did I find her easy to work with, but my family and guests all made a point to compliment her work ethic and warm personality. Sam means business and does it was the brightest smile on her face! My wedding didn’t feel stressful or rushed at all. Everyone had a great time at my wedding and it wouldn’t have been that way if we didn’t have Sam and her amazing team.

Jenny and her team made my wedding happen! I got the "Day of" Coordination package, but Jenny worked with me for months leading up to the event. She provided so many wonderful recommendations and resources to help with the planning process. She communicated with all the vendors and made sure there was no stress for me on the big day. Our venue was a bit disjointed in their comunication and Jenny was able to bridge all those gaps, find creative solutions to problems and probably solved so many other issues that I don't even know about. All our items were well taken care of and we always knew what was going on. Jenny took command of our wedding weekend and made sure we were on time and got to experience everything exactly as we wanted to. I'm recommending her to everyone I know that is getting married in the future!!

We are so grateful for brandi! Because our contract said we had to have a wedding planner for the day.We thought we could just get one just to show.But after interviewing the first one, We knew we needed someone who would definitely care about our special day and all it's details. We interviewed for four others and we just didn't find what we were looking for: professionalism, attention to details, demeanor that showed they would have a quick command of our large bridal party- until we met Brandi!!! What a God sent! Upon meeting her, her genuine care for our wedding was felt immediately. My now husband and I were very organized and already had all the details we wanted.We just need someone excellent to execute them and Brandi did that and so much more. Right away, She contacted all of our vendors, grabbed all of our contracts and organized them. She had an awesome timeline made capturing every detail we explained to her. She was always available to talk or text when we had random questions and always gave thoughtful answers. During the rehearsal, she was in charge and fun! Her loving heart showed when I showed her my bridal bouquet that was full of sad white roses. She made it her mission to find me a new bouquet the day of the wedding! Went to four florists! Just for me! On the wedding day, Brandi and her assistants were excellently dressed in black and with walkies. They set-up my ballroom, beautifully drapped my arch, and aisle chairs just as I dreamed. She and her team were with us until the end. One of the best things we did for this wedding was getting Brandi on board. She's the epitome of small sacrifice BIG, BIG reward. She shows amd makes you feel that coordinating your wedding is her true passion and service. We loved her so much, we referred her to another friend and now her team will be at that wedding!

I have waited 2.5 years to write this review and could not be more thrilled with our decision to work with Vine and Branch! Tatiana was the best investment we made into our big day, not only was she our planner but our planning bff! When we switched our wedding from California to Italy she didn’t even hesitate and jumped right into helping us pick our venue, research vendors and manage the most insane logistics I’ve ever seen! Whenever I was stressed or overwhelmed with a situation she was already working on figuring out a solution with the vendor and was ready with plan B, C and D just in case. Whenever we faced a design dilemma I would text her with the preface of “okay this might sound crazy..,” and crazy enough she was always on the same page. She was also honest with me about changing direction with certain plans if she knew something else would work better. When you live in Pinterest like I do, it was important that I had someone who gave me honest opinions and made sure the design worked together seamlessly! I have heard so many horror stories from friends about their planners not taking their budget seriously but throughout our entire time working with Tatiana she never pushed us to pick a more expensive option or made us feel bad if we had to drop something off of an invoice. She was also upfront with us from day 1 about what it would cost to create our vision. Day of the wedding she was an absolute rock star! I’ve worked in the industry and have been in charge of running events so letting go of control is hard for me but she managed everything without a hitch and I was able to be so present knowing she had everything handled! Seeing the design we have been working on for 2 years was absolutely surreal! Everything was stunning and all of our guests absolutely raved about everything! I truly couldn’t have done this without Tatiana and I already miss all of our crazy conversations and shared Italy reels! Let’s do a reunion in Ravello, okay? Ciao for now! Megan and Conor

Erin is truly INCREDIBLE!! One of the best decisions I made for our wedding was hiring Erin as our planner! From the very first meeting, I knew our wedding was in great hands. I could feel the stress melt away as I could tell Erin was extremely knowledgeable and on top of everything. She always responded to all inquiries very quickly and had so much knowledge to share. She walked us through every step of the way and throughly explained everything. Her wedding planning website where I was able to upload inspo pictures, the guest list, vendor contacts, and more is truly amazing and is so easy to navigate. Just four days before our big day, the chosen venue was evacuated due to a fire in Big Bear. It was a race against time! Fortunately, Erin was able to find the dreamiest venue for our big day!! The stress of that week was unimaginable, but she was so positive, so caring, and so dependable. The day of the wedding I was able to relax and fully enjoy the day because Erin and her team were there. I am beyond grateful for Erin and her team’s support and commitment in ensuring our day was perfect. I could not have done it without her!! I would recommend her services to any couple looking for a wedding planner.

My journey into wedding planning is a reflection of my genuine love for helping couples turn their dreams into reality. One thing I've learned over the past 10 years is that every love story is unique, and every wedding should be a reflection of the couple's personalities and style. I believe that every couple deserves a memorable wedding day, no matter the size or budget. I'll be there for you offering expert advice and resources to ensure your wedding day is seamless and unforgettable. Did I mention, we also offer Photo Booth and DJ/MC services! We offer package discounts if you book all services with us! Let us be your one-stop shop!

It all started when me and my wife was searching for a wedding planner that didn’t charge an arm and leg for services. We found Amber and her team through friend recommendation and once we met and spoke to Amber it was an instant connection. We knew she was the right person who would be able to manage and listen to our needs and expectations, and also deliver on our wedding day. On the day of our wedding, Amber ensured all our vendors were promptly on time and she also held our venue accountable for last moment changes, which saved us money. Amber knew all the right things to ask and she also provided great suggestions to make our wedding reception flow smooth. She even went out of her way to assist us during our ceremony that was in a different city. That’s something that we really appreciated from her because we really didn’t have any other person who we can rely on to help us set up our aisle runner and bring our wedding frame to the reception. Amber really took care of us during our big event as well, she made sure we ate and had breaks to re hydrate after all the dancing we did and she ensured that our wedding decorations was neatly packed away in our car when the wedding was over. Look no further if you are looking for a great, attention to detail, caring, and responsible wedding planner because Amber and her team will take care of you from A-Z and they will go above and beyond to make sure you and your significant other are having fun for your special day.

Thank goodness we hired Koral! I'm a huge procrastinator, and the thought of planning a wedding while working full-time was overwhelming. As soon as we brought Koral on board (6 months out), I felt an enormous weight lifted off my shoulders. Her warm, non-judgmental, and loving personality turned my stress into excitement. Koral is incredibly organized and detail-oriented—everything you want in a planner. Her timeline and checklist kept us on track, and she always anticipated what I might forget. She handled vendors with professionalism, negotiated pricing, and made sure we stayed on budget. She even provided us with links to everything we needed, saving us so much time. The day went flawlessly, thanks to her meticulous planning. Her team was amazing, with special shout-outs to Shelby, Shivani, and Maggie! Shelby stayed by my side all day and became like a best friend. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with Koral & Ko. If you're thinking about hiring support for your wedding, do it! Whether you’re 6 months out, 3 months out, or just need day-of coordination, you won’t regret it!

Choosing Lizzie Noble Events to plan our wedding is the best decision we could have possibly made. My husband and I had no idea where to start or what to do, and Lizzie was amazing! She jumped right in and gave us ideas, guidance and organization. We had no idea what vendors to use, how to budget for things or what we really wanted, but Lizzie got to know us as a couple and helped give us our dream wedding! Honestly, I have recommended her to so many of my friends, and she is currently planning my little sister's wedding because our whole family loved her so much! CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH!

Thank you for your interest in Perfectly Planned Occasion. My name is Kristina and I have been a planner my whole life. The only thing that has changed is what I am planning. In college I planned social outings and holiday parties for my roommates. Due to my love of organization I majored in Recreation and Leisure Studies, which included event planning at California State University. After graduation, I worked full-time in municipal recreation for the City of Cypress planning and day-of coordinating city-wide special events, as well as managing venues to host banquets, parties, and beautiful wedding receptions.

Kristina helped me stay on track in the month leading up to the wedding by creating a wedding timeline. On the wedding day, I wasn’t aware of any issues because she handled everything. She kept the day on schedule and I’m so grateful for her help! Book her! I got married at the Villa Del Sol which means I only had 2.5 hours to set up the venue. With her vast experience at this venue in particular, everything went amazing and the wedding started on time.

At Bespoke Visions, we believe every love story deserves an experience as unique and unforgettable as the people behind it. Our mission is to transform wedding dreams into breathtaking realities. We don't just plan weddings—we craft immersive celebrations that reflect your style, personality, and love story. What makes our approach even more special? We’re a husband-and-wife team who understands the beauty of partnership and the importance of every meaningful detail. Together, we bring a balance of creativity, precision, and heart to every event we design.

I wanted something different—definitely not traditional, a luxury gothic wedding that’s still elegant and chic, Rowena at Bespoke Visions is the planner you need! I wanted a crisp white ceremony followed by a bold, darkly romantic reception—and she nailed it. Think edgy glamour with Christine Quinn wedding energy (minus the swans), and you’ve got the vibe! From the first time we met Rowena (rocking her signature purple and blue hair), I knew she was the perfect fit. I told her no traditional cookie-cutter wedding, and that’s exactly what she gave me: a custom, dramatic celebration with every detail perfectly styled.We had a dreamy white ceremony followed by a dramatic goth reception that felt straight out of a luxury wedding magazine. I’ll admit—I was an indecisive bride who didn’t have a clear vision, just a list of what I didn’t want. Somehow, Rowena and her team turned that into a stunning wedding beyond anything I could have imagined. Tip for future brides: communicate your likes and dislikes! Don’t keep your thoughts to yourself. Be honest, share your budget, and trust Rowena’s creativity. She listens, adapts, and makes magic happen within your budget. For anyone craving a one-of-a-kind wedding, Rowena will definitely make it real.
