    Helen is amazing!!! First, she was the only wedding coordinator that we talked to who wanted to have an initial VIDEO meeting with us (rather than just a phone call). During that meeting, she immediately impressed us by taking a genuine interest in us as a couple. With other coordinators, it always seemed like it was strictly business - with Helen, we felt like we were being seen, heard, and celebrated, as a couple. Her passion for this industry is infectious and we knew immediately after that initial meeting that we needed her behind us. Helen is also so kind, detailed, and INCREDIBLY responsive! Even while on maternity leave and in the midst of peak wedding season, she never took more than 24 hours to respond to us. She answered all of my annoying questions and handled all of my weird specifications and last minute changes with grace, ease, support, and kindness. She was even there to calm me down when my makeup artist cancelled 2 days prior to the wedding (thank you, Helen). Because of her, our day was executed FLAWLESSLY. When we started getting off track on our timeline, she would consult us first on whether we wanted to make any changes or continue with the day as planned. We truly appreciated that so much. Thank you for everything Helen. You are a gem and we were so blessed to have you during our 10 month planning process. If you want a coordinator who genuinely cares about you, Helen is your girl. Hire her!!!

    Helen is such an amazing wedding planner. From the moment we met on a video call, I was impressed by her attention to detail, her confidence, and her wealth of knowledge. She is a great communicator which was something we really valued in our vendors. We could tell immediately that she knew what she was doing. We wanted someone who understood our vision and could help us execute it. Plus she is just so sweet and personable, which is just a plus. If there was one thing I could highlight about her, it would be her attention to detail!! She has the most detailed planning timeline that she provided which helped us stay on track. Our day of timeline was broken down to the minute, which was so clear and concise. Even our other vendors said that after emailing with Helen and seeing our timeline, they knew the day would go so smoothly... and it did! Our day could not have gone more smoothly. If there were ever any issues, we didn't notice at all! She truly put our minds to ease many times. She was always quick to respond to our questions and gave great recommendations. You could tell that she is definitely an expert in this field. Truly, it was such a pleasure to work with Helen. She brought such a calm and gentle energy to the whole process. It really brought us peace of mind knowing we were working with someone who knew what they were doing and would help bring our vision to life. Honestly, that's all you could really hope for in a wedding planner. If you want to work with someone who is a great communicator, very organized, very experienced, and just all around a sweet person, Helen is your girl. Trust me, you won't regret it! :)

    Helen is a rock star! And has a perfect 5-star review track record! She's so friendly, kind, and thoughtful and has an amazing memory for small details, which really helped with wedding planning. She's so personable - from the very first phone call with her, she was interested in hearing about our first date, relationship, and proposal. We were trying to plan a wedding in CA from out of state, and she made our lives so much easier. She drew up an amazing minute-by-minute timeline for our vendors and wedding party. She is super organized, great at listening, and responds to all of our communication within like 5 minutes. We had an outdoor garden wedding during the spring, and the thing about weather forecasts is that they are not posted until 7 days beforehand....and for our wedding, it was predicted there would be rain. She figured out a rain contingency plan with all our vendors, making the wedding day flow smoothly and remained upbeat and supportive all the way. She even sent us some photos and videos so we would have something before our photographer finished his edits. My bridesmaid was so impressed with her that she also asked Helen to be on her wedding team. I can't imagine there's anything she can't handle. Thank you, Helen and team for your support and making our wedding day beautiful!

    My husband and I officially tied the knot and I can wholeheartedly say that working with Helen has been an absolute dream. We highly recommend Helen and her Ah, Love team. I found Helen by chance when I reached out to her to ask a few questions about a venue. From the moment I spoke to Helen, her energy stood out to me! She is warm, reassuring, and so genuine. I worked with her for partial planning, but she helped me beyond that. Even before our official eight months together, she went above and beyond, sending me a list of trusted vendors I should book prior. That kind of initiative and thoughtfulness set the tone for everything. Helen was there for me every step of the way even while on maternity leave! Her dedication and presence, even during such a personal time in her life, speaks volumes about what an incredibly committed professional she is. I'll miss her energy at our monthly check-ins! Now that my wedding has passed, it is even more apparent that Helen was the perfect choice again and again. My guests cannot stop raving about how well planned the wedding was and how smoothly everything went. One of my biggest priorities was a good guest experience, and while I was focused on guests, Helen made sure not to forget about us, the bride and groom. The thoughtful details on the big day, really made a huge impact on mine and my husband's experience. I felt completely present during the wedding, which so many brides say is rare. Not only was I able to soak in every moment, I also ate a lot! From the thoughtful hors d'oeuvres right after the ceremony to a full plate waiting for us at our sweetheart table, Helen made sure we were cared for on our special day. These small yet significant touches really showed her expertise and consideration for all her clients. Helen is a seasoned professional with a true heart for this work. I am so grateful to have had her by my side and cannot recommend her enough. You will not regret trusting Helen and Ah, Love with your special day.

    Helen and her team did an incredible job coordinating our wedding- I wholeheartedly recommend her. Helen helped us have our family-oriented wedding with 200 guests and made sure we felt at-ease through every part of the process. When we first met her, we loved how energetic, warm, and truly caring she was. This was evident throughout the entire coordinating process, as she was extremely responsive, professional, and handled all requests in a timely and effective manner. We also appreciated how meticulous and attentive to details she is. She got to know us as a couple over multiple meetings, and both her attention to detail and flexibility showed in the timeline she especially created for us. She was able to customize our timeline to accommodate certain requests, such as doing visits/toasts at every table, guiding us with her experience while making sure that we were able to accomplish what we wanted! She was very easy going, flexible, and wonderful to work with. We couldn't have asked for a better day, and were able to be fully present because of how well Helen and her team handled everything! The morning after our wedding I realized that I did not have to handle any hiccups or details on the day of our wedding, and that is 100% thanks to her for handling everything! She also had so many thoughtful touches during the day - saving us food and drinks, packing food home for us if we weren't able to eat it, taking photos and videos for us, and making sure we didn't lose anything at the end of the night! Thank you SO MUCH Helen!!

    We cannot recommend Helen enough. She was so thoughtful and communicative and hardworking throughout the whole experience and it made not only our day so special and enjoyable, but the planning leading up to it too. Whether you use her services for the wedding planning itself, or just day-of coordination, she really takes so much care in getting to know us and our community and executing a vision to such a wonderful caliber. Check out some of the photos below to see how wonderful everything turned out (photographer - Flower & Pine)! We trust her with our lives! So thankful I found her randomly on Instagram. If you're reading this and still shopping for wedding help, you will not be disappointed with Helen on your side, TRUST us.

    From the moment we started working with Helen, we knew we were in great hands. She took the time to truly understand our vision and helped us coordinate with everyone to make the day special. Helen was incredibly organized, professional, and responsive. When I had questions months before the wedding, she provided her expertise and shared recommendations. Helen took a lot of weight off my shoulders when she worked with all my vendors by coordinating times and obtaining proper documents for my venue. On the day of the wedding, she made sure that I was able to enjoy the day by handling all decisions and last second changes. Her ability to juggle all the moving parts while keeping us calm and excited was beyond impressive. Everything flowed seamlessly - I cannot express enough how thankful I am for her support and guidance. If you're looking for someone who will bring your dream wedding to life while making the whole process enjoyable, I highly recommend Helen! Thank you, Helen, for making our wedding day unforgettable!

    This review is long overdue, but I just wanted to find the right words to express how incredible Helen and her team are! If you want a worry-free wedding, Ah Love is the way to go. When I walked into our venue, I was floored by the way all the details were coming together. The place was running like a well-oiled machine, each vendor knowing exactly what they were doing, her team gently guiding me through the schedule. Her A+ ability to prep, organize, schedule, communicate, and execute -- all while being so sweet and warm -- is exactly what you want in a wedding coordinator. One of my vendors commented on how nice she is, which, I guess, might not be as common as you would think. Helen listened to our vision, wants, and needs, and coordinated all the pieces to make them happen seamlessly. If you don't have a vision, she will help guide you through the daunting process of wedding planning and will answer every question you have with wide expertise. She takes the time to get to know her clients, and you will feel so comfortable talking to her. When Helen took the reins a month before the wedding, I told my vendors they would be hearing from her and they replied saying they already did! What a relief it was to have Helen take over. We had a blast at our wedding, and I didn't have to worry about a thing. Thank you Helen and team!

    Ladies and gentlemen, if you're reading this, you're likely swamped with numerous vendors, references, and reviews to check out but just save yourself some precious time and LOOK NO FURTHER for your wedding planning and coordination needs. Helen provided a phenomenal service experience from beginning to end. She listened to the ideas we were looking for in our wedding, provided honest advice, and was patient with the inevitable fickleness with all soon to be newlyweds. Helen was absolutely crystal clear in what to expect in the timeline and details of our partnership. She took the time to be available virtually on numerous occasions which made us feel comfortable leading up to the big day. On the actual wedding day, Helen and her team executed everything to perfection. We even got comments from family members on how sharp Helen was throughout the evening. We are incredibly grateful to have met Helen and was honored to have her be an integral part of special day! Helen is THE BEST!

    TL;DR, enthusiastic, meticulous, well organized, easy to work with. Whether you should hire a wedding planner: if they can help you envision and design your big day + if they can execute the plan well to your expectations. Envision/design: look at their portfolio. Execution: interview them for how experienced they are, how they will work with you and how they handle emergencies. Luckily we found Helen who meets all the criteria above! And it turned out to be the best decision we've ever made! We had a very non-traditional wedding which was K-pop themed (BTS, Blackpink). Although she was not super familiar with K-pop, Helen helped us fuse all the K-pop elements into our wedding including decorations, songs, first dance, send-off etc. Not only us but our guests had so much fun during the wedding and it well reflected our love and enthusiasm into K-pop! I thought it would be super stressful on the wedding day because I would need to worry about everything from coordinating vendors to entertaining guests. However Helen made it care-free! All I needed to do was to look good and have fun! Please don't hesitate to reach out to Helen, talk to her about what you have in mind, and book her before her schedule is full!

    Helen played an absolutely essential role in the success of our wedding day! As someone who has never planned a wedding before nor plans on ever planning another one again, Helen was the perfect event design and day of wedding coordinator for us. She helped us stay on track with every design and detail of our wedding day! Helen is so genuine and positive in her approach to wedding coordination; she wants you to have a successful and memorable wedding day! The planning process was so straight forward and definitely eliminated much stress that comes with wedding planning in general. On the day of the actual wedding, I didn't have to worry about anything! Helen and her team organized and set up all the decor and made sure the day went smoothly and according to plan. I got to enjoy the day without any stress at all! Helen is AMAZING at what she does and I could not recommend her more!!

    Shelly H.

    We absolutely loved working with Helen! She was our month-out (day of) planner and we couldn't have asked for a better coordinator!! Her organization skills are probably the best I've seen. From several months out, she sent over a monthly planning sheet that broke down each month's task for us to keep in track of. It was so helpful throughout the entire planning process thanks to this sheet!! She was always attentive to any questions I had and I can feel that she genuinely LOVE planning our weddings. She really felt like a friend I've known for a long time, who truly cares and wants to help as much as she can. Due to the pandemic and having moved our wedding date for the third time, our planning had been halted repeatedly and it was hard to get back on track. But Helen was always there to help us adjust the planning process each time the date moved. We ended up having a July 2021 wedding and once the real planning started, Helen shared more Google Drive folders to help organize all my inspo, decorations, guest list, vendor information, and etc. She took charge of all communications with my vendors and the venue to make sure everything is accounted for so that we won't have to stress about the details. Her day-of timeline is probably the best one I've seen so far ( I've seen a few of my friends') and it is broken down so precisely that we had absolutely no uncertainties about what's going to happen on our day-of. Everyone who saw my timeline (family and wedding party) were so impressed with how well it was broken down and easy to understand. Not only is she a phenomenal planner, but she also did an amazing job making my visions come to life. My table settings and details were not very simple and quite complicating but she made sure everything was put where I wanted and made sure my vision looked perfect in real life. We got so many compliments on our wedding decorations and settings, thanks to Helen and her team! She made our wedding day a breeze so that we can enjoy every moment of it. I'm so thankful to have had her as our planner and would recommend her to anyone!! Thank you Helen!!!
