First and foremost, we are so glad that we hired Jill to help coordinate our wedding. She is a creative and communicative team player who worked seamlessly with our venue and vendors to ensure that our big day turned out fabulous. Even though we booked an inclusive venue that came with a day-of coordinator, I wanted to find a month-of coordinator/planner, because our wedding had quite a few moving parts, and I knew I would be overwhelmed if we didn't hire help. We were so excited when we met Jill; we knew immediately that she was "our people" and felt confident that she would be able to handle keeping all of our external vendors coordinated, our extra-large immediate families updated, as well as helping the venue staff set up our maker-themed wedding supplies and decor on the day of the event. Working with Jill as a wedding planner was easy and stress-free every step of the way. She was prepared to communicate in all the methods that were most comfortable for us (including shared Google sheets, emails, texts, and video chats), and was equipped to troubleshoot the handful of last-minute hiccups we encountered so that we did not need to worry about them. It is also worth noting that our venue's event coordinator reported that Jill was easy to collaborate with, both in terms of communication leading up to our wedding, and making all the magic happen on the date. We are also working with Jill in her role as a travel agent to plan our honeymoon for this coming winter.

We believe that beautiful weddings are built on a foundation of absolute trust and transparency. To give our couples complete peace of mind, we utilize an upfront, all-inclusive pricing structure. Alongside our curated custom packages, our baseline includes a Premium Execution Fee (our comprehensive "Puff Fee"). What does this mean for you? It means we don't surprise you with hidden upcharges for things that should be standard. This flat fee covers the heavy lifting behind the scenes—unlimited vendor communication hours, meticulous logistics scouting, emergency backup plans, and the full physical setup and teardown

Working with Popfizz Event Planners was a game-changer for our wedding planning process. They were incredibly responsive whenever we reached out with questions or concerns, which made the whole experience feel less stressful. What really impressed us was how present they were throughout the planning journey—they genuinely listened to every detail we cared about and made sure our vision came to life. They showed up on time for every meeting and appointment, and they delivered exactly what we discussed without any surprises. On our wedding day, it was clear how much they cared about making everything perfect. We would absolutely recommend Popfizz to any couple looking for planners who actually pay attention to what matters to you.

I truly can’t say enough amazing things about Carissa and her team at Positively Charming Weddings. She was the very first vendor I hired for my wedding, a year and a half in advance. Within the first 2 minutes of chatting with Carissa the first time, I knew we were the perfect match. She is incredibly organized, compassionate, an amazing listener, and isn’t afraid to take the lead and make decisions when necessary. She is thoughtful, calm, has a wealth of wedding industry knowledge and was able to provide personalized suggestions based on my preferences at every turn. To be honest, I was originally super nervous and anxious to hire a wedding planner, as I am a very type A person because of my job as a programs and event planner. But Carissa exceeded all expectations and truly was able to allow me to relax and enjoy my wedding weekend without a worry in the world. She was a problem solver every step of the way. For example, she offered to manually fixed my seating chart the day before the wedding and found a print shop willingly to print very specific last minute signage (both things that were my fault that they were delayed/wrong). She kept not only me, but my husband and both families on track leading up to the wedding, provided monthly checklists, was available via phone and email for my questions, and even provided bridal party itineraries the weekend of. Her and her team were incredibly easy to work with, and our other vendors and bridal party members said the exact same thing. She can work with anyone, with any personality type, and makes you feel important and heard. If you want someone to go above and beyond for you, look no further! She will make your day everything YOU want it to be. Couldn’t recommend her and her team more…I walked away with a new friend!

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m not even sure where to begin to describe how amazing Events by McKenna is at what they do!! McKenna is the most kind, helpful, and enthusiastic person to assist you during such an important time in your life. She made sure everything went perfectly on our wedding day and every day leading up to it! When we first started our wedding planning journey, we only knew where we wanted to have it, and due to the venue location not regularly being used for weddings, we needed to outsource vendors for everything. That's where McKenna came in and helped us out by hand-picking every vendor that she knew would provide the exact things we were looking for. From catering, florals, furniture rentals, DJ, and all the little details, she knew who would be perfect for the job and she was right about every single one! Every time we had a question or a crazy idea, she had an answer right away and she would do everything she could to make it happen. One thing that we were really hoping for was getting a disco ball above our dance floor, but since we were outdoors, it wasn’t looking promising. McKenna was the one who made sure that we got our disco ball, and it was absolutely perfect! That’s just one example of the many ways McKenna ensured our dream wedding would become a reality. On the day of, McKenna and her team were so efficient and handled everything so that my husband and I could relax and focus on ourselves. We got to our venue and everything was already done and ready to start the day! McKenna was amazing at time management throughout the day, and she was so helpful to not only us, but our families, wedding party and guests as well. Everything went perfectly on schedule and all the crazy ideas that we had came to life with no issues! It was truly the best day of our lives and it wouldn’t have been possible without McKenna’s help! I could write so much more on how incredible Events by McKenna is, but to sum it all up, they are the best choice for your wedding planning and coordinating needs and you will not regret choosing them for your big day!!

Hi! Thanks so much for your interest in working together. I’m Jackie, a Wedding & Event Planner based in Southern California (and beyond, always) I’ve been in the event world for what feels like my entire life. I spent a decade as a professional DJ, years producing corporate events, owned a catering business for a while, and even stepped into private cheffing during COVID. The common thread through it all? I genuinely love throwing a great party.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jackie was a truly incredible wedding coordinator. We really couldn't believe the value of her services. She understood our vision and executed it perfectly. Throughout our planning process, we had the autonomy we wanted to make decisions, but she would also gently jump in when we were missing a logistical necessity, and then provide us with options for how to proceed. This was invaluable. It was also amazing that we could select "a la carte" additional services for certain needs (e.g. furniture rentals) without having to commit to full-scale planning services. Jackie even ended up coordinating last minute DJ and bartender services for us. We had some custom touches and ideas, and she and her team pulled it all off exactly like we envisioned. Her team was awesome, and she is awesome. Highly recommend!

Alexandra Khoury Modon’s path to founding à la Modon Events is anything but conventional—woven through years of discipline, artistic expression, and an insatiable drive to bring visions to life. From visual and theatrical artist to Division I tennis player, courtroom prosecutor, and now event planner, she has mastered high-pressure environments, honed meticulous attention to detail, and refined the art of storytelling. Today, she channels that same precision and creativity into designing seamless, deeply personal events that reflect each client’s unique story.

From our first conversation with Alex at Modon Events, we knew we had found our planner. She kept us informed every step of the way and gave us honest feedback about what would work best for our vision. Alex coordinated with all our vendors seamlessly and even scored us some great deals we didn't expect. What really set her apart was how much she cared—nothing was ever too much to ask, and she treated us like family throughout the entire process. She somehow manages to juggle being a working mom while still delivering the kind of attention to detail that made my princess wedding a reality. Alex refused to settle until we were 100% happy, and it shows. She's truly a rockstar, and we can't recommend her enough!

From the initial design to the day-of delivery, she and her team are dedicated to creating the wedding of your dreams—piece by piece.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ingrid is one of the greatest planners we have had the pleasure of working with in this industry. One of her couples recently used our company, which provides faux floral rentals, to couples looking to save on flowers for their big day. Her responsiveness and impeccable attention to detail truly set her apart from most others in the wedding space, and she does so with such precision and empathy. Timeliness and thoughtfulness are extremely difficult to juggle when it comes to weddings that have so many moving parts, yet Ingrid’s unique capability to execute on both fronts makes her such an asset to work with. Her consistent, on-the-dot responsiveness completely took care of every single question leading up to the event date, and we never had to worry about getting an answer back on anything, which is so rare and deeply appreciated. We worked with Grand Entrance Affairs on a wedding happening on the Queen Mary, which is known to be a logistically more complex venue in terms of setup and weather conditions on the water. Ingrid ensured that all potential hiccups were accounted for long before the event, and has a unique gift for taking care of every single detail and deadline in a way that only someone with profound love and experience can pull off. She has the ability to juggle many different temperaments, extreme time constraints, and a million moving pieces and transforms them all into an unforgettable and beautiful event. She and her team truly embody white glove service and thoughtful attention to detail every step of the way. We will be referring her to all of our clients moving forward.

If you are a couple in search of a wedding planner, look no further. Tavi (pronounced Tevi, like Chevy) is an incredible planner with an amazing eye for details. She’s very thorough, detail oriented, kind, funny and easy to work with. The perfect person to help you through one of the most stressful times of your life. She really took a lot off of our plate, and took EXCELLENT care of us on our wedding day. Our wedding day was actually perfect and I attribute much of the success of the day to her and her wonderful assistant Jessica. We also added on the design option, and she really brought our vision to life. She designed all of our stationary for us, printed it, and had each personalized card for every guest. The florist she reccomended Allison (The Occupied Vase) just absolutely nailed it. So many compliments and I felt very well taken care of. Not to mention, our venue made a huge mistake and booked another event during our wedding rehearsal and she rearranged her life to be there for us at a way earlier time (none of us wanted to be there so early, but the venue gave us no choice). And of course she was there smiling, never complaining, in such a good mood putting us all at ease, and running a very successful rehearsal for us. So, even if you don’t think you need a planner, you should highly consider spending the money to have someone who is a complete professional, who is always early, who is dedicated to your wedding 100%, (even when you don’t always have time to be). We love Tavi!! She rocks!!! :)

She made plans for us and talked to all of the vendors, conducted our rehearsal, worked with the venue, and took care of all those nitty gritty details. I’m pretty type A and was probably emailing her more than I should have for only choosing the day of package (lol), but she always responded promptly and kindly to every little thing I had to say. Her team was so nice and so professional and they really made me feel like they cared about my wedding - like it was more than just the next job they had.

We are so happy to have worked with InGobo Events for our 12.12.24 wedding!! It feels like just yesterday we had our initial Zoom meeting with Christina, the main planner leading up to the wedding!! We were referred to her by my husband’s friend who also booked In Gobo as their wedding coordinator and had nothing but great things to say about her and the team! We couldn’t agree more! Christina was so easy to work and communicate with and really took the time to understand my vision and incorporated anything we wanted into the wedding timeline. I really appreciated how detail-oriented she was and how she made me think of things I didn’t even think of myself! She really made everything leading up to the wedding seamless and once she sent the absolute “final timeline,” I couldn’t help but to feel so appreciative and grateful for her hard work and I just knew our wedding day was in great hands! Wedding day finally arrives and we were able to meet the rest of Christina’s team!! Christina, Leanna, Katie, & Heather - seriously the best girl team ever!!! THEY ARE ALL SO NICE, FRIENDLY, AND JUST SO EASY TO TALK TO!! And their hard work in talking with vendors and setting up that reception venue - THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!! I love meeting new friends from wedding planning!! My husband & I honestly had the best wedding day and we owe a big chunk of it to this team! And to top it off, I was sent a photo album the next day where the whole team uploaded pictures they took from the wedding day/night!! I often look at that album when I’m missing our wedding day!! Thank you again & again to Christina & her team! DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK INGOBO, THEY WILL LITERALLY MAKE YOUR WEDDING DREAMS COME TO LIFE!!

Sam was Amazing! She was very kind patient and knowledgeable. I hired her as day of event coordinator and event designer for my wedding in May. She did such an amazing job preparing the venue and ceremony. She was very easy to work with and quick to respond to all forms of communications leading up the wedding. Sam was also a great help with finding vendors staying in contact with them and making sure they were all on the same page the day of the wedding. Thank you Sam for going above and beyond to making our wedding day magical

From the moment we started working with Joy, we knew we were in the best possible hands. She is kind, thoughtful, incredibly calm, and so beautifully organized. On a day that can feel hectic and overwhelming, Joy brought such a steady, grounding presence—it truly felt like she had everything under control (because she did!). She thought of every little detail, anticipated needs we hadn’t even considered, and handled everything with so much care and grace. Because of Joy, we were able to be fully present and soak in the joy (pun intended!) of the day. Our wedding would not have been the same without her. We feel endlessly grateful for her support, her expertise, and her heart. If you're lucky enough to work with Joy, know you're in the best possible hands. Thank you, Joy!!!
