Cheryl took over about a month before, and coordinated the month out walk-through of our venue, confirmed all the vendors, made a timeline, lead the rehearsal the day before, and coordinated the entire wedding day from setup at 11am to break down ending at 10pm. Highly recommend!

Where do I even begin? Missy and her amazing team from Oh Missy Events were absolutely incredible…read more-- and truthfully, very underrated. They deserve so much more recognition. This review is a little late because I really wanted to take the time to properly acknowledge how wonderful Missy is -- not just as a wedding planner, but as a person. She truly understands, listens, and has had unlimited patience with me since the very beginning of my wedding planning journey. 01.10.26 was the best day ever for my husband and me, but we had been working with Missy for a full year leading up to it. We got married at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels and had our gorgeous reception at South Park Center in LA. From the moment I first inquired with her, to creating the most beautiful vision board, to the constant communication and bringing every detail to life -- Missy has been such a sweetheart and incredibly talented. I first saw her work through another bride, and with her modern yet elegant style, I just knew I had found the perfect wedding planner. Her vendors are equally talented -- from our photographer, Tony Le, to our creative florist, Thu from Lace & Stems, to our amazing wedding MC, RayontheMic -- everyone gave 100% and truly delivered their best work. She also collaborates so seamlessly with other vendors. She is truly one of a kind. Missy not only helped me plan our wedding, but she also designed our save-the-dates, wedding invitations, menus, and signage. Every single detail was pristine -- beautiful, modern, yet timeless. I've been replaying our wedding videos and looking through our photos nonstop, just admiring how stunning everything turned out. I will always recommend Missy to everyone I know. I truly believe her talent in design and wedding planning will only continue to grow from here

I've always dreamed of having a beautiful wedding, but as a Type A person who lacks a creative eye, I had no idea where to begin. Hiring Missy for her full‑service planning package lifted so much of the stress from wedding planning, thanks to the many stages of the process she expertly guided us through. This included going with us to tour venues, designing our Save the Dates and invitations, designing our florals based on our mood board, communicating with vendors, and developing a detailed day-of timeline to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible. She also helped arrange our rehearsal dinner, which took a lot of burden off my shoulders since there was so much going leading up to the big day. I also really appreciated that Missy sent me and my husband an encouraging and thoughtful text the morning of our wedding to remind us to eat (so important, trust me) and savor every moment. Highly recommend booking Missy for any event - you won't regret it!

We had a vision for our wedding, and wanted something we felt would be meaningful and represent us…read moreand our lives, but also were on a very tight budget. With our venues in mind (our local public park for the ceremony, a patio at our HOA's community center for the reception, and an after party at our home) and only 6 months until our selected wedding date, we went to Leilani Social to ask if they could help us make it happen. Kim was assigned as our coordinator, and took the challenge in stride. Another team member worked with us and Kim as a designer, and soon they helped us develop a cohesive vision and start thinking about the logistics, securing vendors, and making the many dozens of small but critical decisions to make our wedding day feel like us. Kim met with us many times leading up to the wedding date, coordinated all of the vendor communications by email, and always made time to address our questions and concerns--no detail was too small. She helped coach us through selecting rentals and the minute-by-minute plan for the day, and when we needed to pivot last minute to doing DIY flowers to save money, she supported us through that, too! This review would end up the length of a novel if I tried to cover everything, but just to give a couple examples: Kim helped us design custom drink menus for our reception, found alternatives for glassware and decor when we found out we couldn't have glass or open flame at our venue, and made sure we got a refund from our rental company for the few small items that were missing (which we of course, never even knew about because the Leilani Squad just handled it!). The day before the wedding, Kim met with us and our bridal party to run an efficient and helpful rehearsal, exuding competence and kindness while making sure everyone was ready for the next day. On the wedding day, four amazing Leilani Social team members were present to make it all happen. My day as bride started with a sound bath hosted by one of Leilani's wellness vendors (the wonderful Stephanie with Soul Sounds Alchemy) for myself and my bridesmaids. To be completely honest, I was a bit skeptical at first (especially since it meant we'd have to start our day earlier) but it ended up being so lovely and grounding (thank you, Danielle and Stephanie!). My "lady-in-waiting," Lulu, was amazing, and she spent the whole morning with us, keeping us on track time-wise and helping with all of the little things that came up, like steaming the skirt of my dress. Kim worked tirelessly to transform our blank canvas venues into the magical settings we had envisioned together for ceremony and reception. Arriving at the spaces and seeing our vision realized was an amazing experience. But as bride and groom, our hope was to truly be in the moment and enjoy the day, and Kim, Danielle, and the rest of the Leilani Squad made that possible. They took care of everything, arranging our many DIY elements, receiving each of our many vendors, making sure our guests got from one place to another, and responding to the inevitable hiccups so that the two of us could just enjoy each other, our guests, and our beautiful celebration. As a note, Kim was the last to leave the reception site hours after we did, making sure everything was in top shape and transporting extra drinks and supplies to our nearby home for the after party. She was a champion, and went above and beyond for us. It was truly the best day of our lives, and truly wouldn't have been possible without Kim and the Leilani Squad. We can't thank you or recommend you highly enough!

From the get go, Lauren (owner of Laurel & Fey) was the best. Before finding her, we tried calling…read moreabout 8 wedding planning companies. No one got back to us. We called Lauren ten minutes after stumbling on Laurel & Fey's Yelp page, and Lauren answered on the first ring, despite being in the middle of watching her two kids. That's the kind of communication we had with her in the 8 or so months we spent planning the wedding together. Lauren was such a grounding, calming force, and her incredible eye for design really paid off. It should be noted that this was not an easy wedding to plan: - My husband and I are both Jewish and halfway into planning this wedding, we realized we'd need to pivot and go with a kosher caterer, seeing as a number of our guests were religious. That meant that the design Lauren had created had to be thrown out because we couldn't use rented plates. Lauren came up with a new, beautiful design incorporating the caterer's plates and silverware. - We had a large guest count (ended up being 260 but it could have been 360). - My husband's family is from Azerbaijan, so on top of the kosher element, we needed the food to be served in a certain way (essentially every thirty minutes, family style, and tons of it). - Our ceremony was really nontraditional and incorporated a lot of theatrics (fun, but a challenge to get right, timing-wise). - We had long hours (5pm-2am). I'm probably forgetting a ton, but needless to say, Lauren took everything we threw at her in stride. We didn't do things the traditional way and she just got on board. She also navigated our more challenging vendors with grace and grit. It helped immensely. Also (keep needing to add things) she talked me off a ledge the week before the wedding when I was stressing out about the heat, and offered tons of solutions. We had an incredible wedding that miraculously pleased everyone, most notably us, and we're so grateful to Laurel & Fey!

The meeting that we had at the venue, Ijou was there to ask questions that we didn't think of and made sure to help answer any questions that the venue had for us later.

We owe it all to I-Jou and Maylin at IM Events & Design. The first time we met with I-Jou and Maylin to discuss my wedding, I was instantly sold on their abilities. They both strike the perfect balance of professionalism and being personable. These ladies are fun! At that point I was just getting started and the idea of how much had to get done was overwhelming but the duos enthusiasm put me at ease. Their personalities really showed through and hearing them talk about how they work, their process, made me confident that I could trust them with such an important day. My fiancé and I had very strong ideas of what we wanted in our wedding and I-Jou and Maylin were very receptive to all of it but with all of their experience they were able to bring so much more to the table that we had not considered or were even aware of. Communication during the planning process was terrific. My fiancé and I have really weird crazy schedules and they never seemed bothered or annoyed. From walking the venue to discussing table setting, after each of our meetings I left feeling great because of the progress we made. I-Jou is meticulous in taking notes and created a detailed timeline which became the backbone to the entire event. She helped us to visualize step by step the order of events and how they would transition smoothly. If you want to pull off the wedding of your dreams then you need to work with the best; don't skimp. I-Jou's attention to detail and Maylin's design sensibilities were an asset in the planning of our wedding. When the day finally arrived, I knew unequivocally that hiring IM Events was the single best choice we made in the planning of our wedding. I-Jou and team really shined. There is nothing better than to sit back on the day of your wedding and enjoy the occasion...you know...take it all in and have FUN! We were able to do this because we had full confidence in I-Jou and Maylin. I remember being led out to the banquet while the photographers were getting their "clean shot" before the guests sat down for dinner and just being floored at how beautiful everything was, the flowers, table settings, and lights; it was absolutely magical. The rest of the evening ebbed and flowed beautifully. There was a slight hiccup toward the end of dinner but I-Jou and team handled it so quickly and effortless that nobody really noticed. I was very impressed. This is what you get when you work with professionals like IM Events. Their experience allows them the confidence to work under pressure while seemingly pulling it off effortlessly! After the wedding we received so many compliments from friends and family but the icing on the cake was that our wedding photos were published in California Wedding Day Magazine! I could go on and on but suffice it to say choosing IM Events & Design from the beginning helped me and my fiancé to realize the wedding of our dreams. We are so grateful to all their hard work. I highly recommend you book I-Jou and Maylin for your wedding. You will not find two lovelier ladies in the business.
