About Weddings of Southern California

Weddings of Southern California

Month of Coordinator

Hi there! I'm Ellie Kohler, the heart behind Weddings of Southern California. My journey started at the Newport Beach Film Festival, where I learned event logistics and found my passion for celebrating love. Since launching Weddings of Southern California, I’ve coordinated beautiful weddings at venues like Agape 1928, Riverside Convention Center, and Wedgewood Aliso Viejo. Whether it's an intimate ceremony or a grand 300-person celebration, I am dedicated to making sure the start of your love story is everything you envisioned it to be and more.

What sets me apart is the love and care I put into your wedding day. Leading up to your special day, we'll spend quality time together in three key meetings: the Timeline Creation, Walkthrough, and Final Details meeting, so that I'm not just a stranger when the big day arrives. From our very first meeting, we’ll have a blast mapping out your day. Together, we'll make sure your wedding day is mapped out to be exactly the way you envisioned it. I’ll be there every step of the way, ensuring everything runs smoothly so you can focus on what truly matters—marrying the love of your life!

In three words: Fun, Organized, Supportive

Couldn’t Have Done It Without Her! :)
Working with Ellie at Weddings of Southern California was exactly what I needed leading up to our wedding day. :) She is super quick to respond and always ready to jump in whenever we needed her, which gave us a lot of peace of mind during planning! She was very patient while I was super indecisive about things leading up to the day, and helped me make decisions when I needed help. One thing I’m extremely grateful for is that she handled problems behind the scenes and fixed things before we even knew they were issues! Truly, I don’t know how we would have made it all work without her. We had zero stress on our wedding day, and I’m not sure how many brides can say that. If you’re on the fence about booking a coordinator, it is absolutely worth it and I can’t recommend going through Weddings of Southern California enough!

Exceptional Wedding Planner & True Professional
Ellie made the entire wedding process feel seamless and stress-free for us as a mobile bar vendor. You can immediately tell she is incredibly experienced at what she does — every detail was thoughtfully planned, coordinated, and executed beautifully. We’re so grateful we had the opportunity to work alongside her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, organized, and passionate wedding professional. We would love to work together again anytime in the future!

Super Star Coordinator
From the moment we first spoke with Ellie, the owner of Weddings of Southern California, we knew we were in good hands. Her communication style was efficient and easy to follow, which helped keep us on track and focused throughout the planning process. The quality of Ellie's work and the value she provided was unmatched - she was incredibly organized, truly cared about the outcome of our special day, and was extremely detail-oriented. On the wedding day, Ellie helped the bridal party stay on schedule and assisted with all the decorating, ensuring everything flowed seamlessly. Ellie is such a sweet and professional person, and her relaxed yet excited demeanor on our wedding day put us at ease. Her detailed timeline was a lifesaver and made the entire day effortless. We would 100,000% recommend Ellie and Weddings of Southern California to any couple looking for an organized, caring, and detail-oriented wedding planner to make their day truly special.

Ellie cares for her clients!
Ellie was there for us offering affordable services when we needed it! She was able to help us work with a very small budget and plan a day that we will never forget. She opened our eyes to new possibilities and venues to make our dream of a brunch wedding come to life. When the day came she was on top of it and very professional. We cannot recommend her enough if you want your special day to go perfectly!

She was truly a sweet and genuine person to work with, making me feel comfortable and confident in my decision to hire her. Ellie's thorough, caring, and supportive approach ensured that every little detail was considered so thoughtfully, and that my wedding day went perfectly from the moment I woke up to the moment I left. I would recommend Weddings of Southern California in a heartbeat to any couple looking for a wedding planning team that will go above and beyond to make your special day truly unforgettable.
