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 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.

Desiree was our coordinator for our wedding this past June, and we would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a day-of wedding coordinator! Desiree made us feel comfortable and confident from our very first meeting with her via Zoom. She seemed knowledgeable about the wedding planning process and was also just super happy for us which made the year leading up to our wedding feel even more special. She was always responsive when we had questions and she absolutely KILLED it on the actual wedding day. She completely handled setup and even did our dinner tablescapes which turned out more beautiful than we could have imagined. We did have one hiccup where there was a miscommunication and Desiree ended up not making it to our venue walkthrough a few weeks before the wedding, but it turned out fine since she already had familiarity with our venue and because we were able to answer all of the venue's questions ourselves. Anyway, this is just a small portion of what we loved about working with Desiree, but it's safe to say we feel great about our choice of wedding coordinator and would definitely go with Desiree if we had to do it all over again.

Sovereign K is a Los Angeles–based wedding planning and coordination studio, producing refined celebrations throughout Southern California and California's Central Coast. We love creating weddings where every detail is thoughtfully considered, allowing couples to be fully present and genuinely enjoy one of the most meaningful days of their lives. With over a decade of experience, I've learned that beautiful celebrations are about creating an experience that feels welcoming, effortless, and personal whether providing full-service planning or wedding day coordination, we offer custom levels of support.

My husband and I recently celebrated a beautiful wedding ceremony and reception, and we owe so much of its success to Sovereign K. We were planning a fairly large wedding in less than three months, and after securing our venue and a few vendor recommendations, I quickly realized just how many moving parts there were to manage. Hiring Sovereign K was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment we brought them on, they immediately put us at ease. Kim took charge of vendor communication, created detailed ceremony and reception timelines, and kept us informed every step of the way while thoughtfully accommodating any changes we wanted to make. On the wedding day, Kim was absolutely incredible. She remained calm, organized, and adaptable throughout the entire event. When our photographer requested "just 20 more minutes" for additional photos, she seamlessly adjusted the timeline without missing a beat. Everything we had hoped for was accomplished, and we were able to fully enjoy our celebration without worrying about the details.

We don't even know where to start - Crystal from CrystalRose Events is simply the best person we could have ever found to plan our wedding. The moment we got on our initial Zoom call, we immediately bonded with her, and that amazing connection lasted through the entire process. Crystal is everything you could ever dream of in a wedding planner: she is extremely patient, highly organized, deeply understanding, and completely transparent. It is incredibly clear that she has years of experience under her belt. She thought of countess details we never would have even considered, and her deep familiarity with venues across Southern California - including our venue, Rancho Las Lomas - was an absolute lifesaver. We were super picky with every single aspect of our day, and Crystal never once complained. If anything, she completely embraced and enjoyed our creativity! She is also incredibly crafty, generously offering to handle specific wedding items herself to help us cut some corners where we could. Her pricing is extremely fair for the world-class service she provides. Honestly, we were so sad when the wedding was over just because it meant our time working with her was coming to an end—that is truly how much of an impression she left on our lives. We have total trust in her and her team, and we cannot wait to reach back out to her for future events. Thank you, thank you, Crystal! You are truly a blessing to us all.

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!!

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!

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 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!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Blooming Plan and Organize was perfect for our smaller, more intimate wedding. Sabina's communication style was professional and friendly, and we felt confident in her abilities. Throughout the planning process, she was incredibly efficient, polished, and detail-oriented, ensuring that every aspect of our special day went smoothly. Even though we only needed a day-of coordinator, she was involved in key parts of the planning, like the venue walkthrough, rehearsal, and email communication with vendors. On the wedding day, her coordination allowed us to truly focus on getting married and enjoying ourselves, rather than worrying about the logistics. We are so grateful to Sabina for making our wedding day perfect.
