Bonny is the best! She is detail oriented and well organized, yet professional and friendly. She nurtured our event like it was her own. She communicates clearly and was always in touch during the process via email, text or phone. She also offered many suggestions to our vendors. I watched her closely and she works extremely hard, and is helpful to boot! She is willing and will extend the help without you asking. She is the support you need for your event. Even after my wedding she sent me a kind text asking how marriage life was going. She truly cares about you and your event. Oh, and her cookies are so delicious! read more

We were referred to Bonny by my sister-in-law, and it was the best choice we made for our wedding. Here's all the amazing things she did: 1. She's decisive, reliable, and responsive. We got the design package with her because I am super hopeless with anything design or aesthetic related. I asked her countless questions about colors (groomsmen/bridesmen look, guestbook design, stationary, etc) and she answered them all. 2. She knows where the deals are and she will make sure you will meet your budget. 3. She was a tiebreaker. Every time my husband and I differed on a wedding detail, we would always defer to her opinion because we trusted she knew what would work. 4. Expanding on point #3, it was great to work with someone who's planned countless wedding events and have seen it all because you could trust her to tell you if a planning detail was going to work or not. 5. Super flexible--she always did her best to work in last minute planning details. For example, I asked my dad to perform with the guitar at my wedding, and two weeks before the wedding, he told me he wanted to do a singalong. She got the lyrics printed out in time, and when the singalong happened at the wedding, it was a blast. People loved that they had lyrics to sing to. 6. Vision wise, she made it all happen. The centerpieces and decor had the personal touch that I knew was very me. 7. She magically knew about the things I cared about and the things I didn't care about. For example, she spent a lot of time with me making wedding favors. I've been told by other brides that either they regretted spending too much time on favors or that they went with simpler things because they didn't have enough time. But instead of telling me not to focus on the favors, she instead went the extra mile to find the right packaging for the favors, I got my bridal party together to help me get it done within four hours, and they looked amazing. People told me they were excited to try the tea we specially packaged in the favors. Absolutely no regrets there. 8. She got the wedding going on time, without a hitch, and pushed it forward. 9. My family told me that I looked so relaxed and so happy at my wedding. That's a first because I can get anxious when it comes to hosting a party, but Bonny took the weight and anxiety off my shoulders and made everything happen so seamlessly. She's upbeat, trustworthy, and empathetic. Best wedding decision I made, ever. read more

ATTENTION ALL ENGAGED COUPLES: DON'T DIRECT YOUR OWN WEDDING - IT'S NOT ENJOYABLE. HIRE BONNY AND HAVE A HAPPY WEDDING. I hired Bonny as a day-of coordinator for our wedding on June 30, 2018. In hindsight, I should have just hired her for full service wedding planning. My husband was hesitant about hiring a coordinator at all, thinking that we really didn't need it since we'll have a full bridal party. Needless to say, by the first meeting with Bonny he was absolutely convinced - we are lucky to have Bonny. We had a traditional Vietnamese tea ceremony, Catholic church ceremony, and modern Vietnamese style reception. That's a butt-load of moving parts for ONE day. Even though we only hired her as a day-of coordinator, she worked with us tirelessly months before our wedding to make sure we were meeting important deadlines. She gave us numerous referrals to vendors who are "Vietnamese friendly," that is, they understood important details about Vietnamese traditional customs. Bonny herself is Vietnamese and knowledgeable about all the traditions and customs, which was very helpful since we weren't sure how to handle the Tea Ceremony. She also gave us ideas to modernize our reception. Bonny was with me (bride) all day, except for when she needed to spot check the Venue for our arrival and for first look. Her real value is making sure things are progressing pursuant to the timeline, which is important when you have a full 20 hour wedding day herding dozens upon dozens of people, and a million things going on at the same time. How terrible is it for the newlyweds to have to problem solve on their special day? Although a bridal party is absolutely indispensable on a wedding day, sometimes the bridal party isn't familiar with the area or resources, and they aren't able to help. This is where Bonny comes in - she will handle issues, she will herd cats, and she will figure it out so that you don't have to. She will be the bad guy for you - which is priceless when you just don't want to be a bridezilla. After all, do you really want the photographer to snap a photo of you being a bride-monster? That's not how you want to be remembered on your wedding day. When you have Bonny at your side, all you have to do on your wedding day is enjoy it. That is absolutely priceless. It's two weeks later, and I still have people telling me how beautiful and fun our wedding was. I can't tell you how much I regret not hiring her for full service wedding coordination. That's why I'm not making the same mistake and hired her for full service for my niece's birthday party in August. Thank you Bonny, we couldn't have done this without you!!! read more

After some back and forth about whether it was worth hiring a coordinator for our wedding last December, we finally decided it would be for the best. THANK GOD! It was one of the best decisions of the countless we had to make. I can't imagine having to direct everything on top of everything else we had to do that day. Having her around let us actually enjoy the event rather than spending it stressing out. And Bonny did a great job. Beforehand, she was knowledgable and professional. It was great that she had first-hand knowledge of Vietnamese culture, which was perfect for our wedding. The day of, she was fantastic at sticking to the schedule, and terrific at handling our very opinionated family members. With her help everything went very smoothly and we had a fantastic event. Thank you for all your help! read more

I've been to two different B-Spoke Events. Bonny is super nice and knowledgeable.. this girl definitely knows what she's doing!! Everything ran smoothly at both events. Her visuals style is sweet and uncluttered with a little.. je ne sais quoi. It's apparent that Bonny really takes her time getting to know her clients on an individual basis, plans ahead with her organization, and is a grandmaster at helping you plan your special day. She's all about the details, which is great! This makes it easier for the celebrants to sit back, relax, and take in the day without having to worry about all the little stuff..Bonny is amazing and I'm spreading with word! Hope you get to experience a B-Spoke event soon, you're going to have a great time. :) read more

I have had the pleasure of working with Bonny on numerous events. Not as a bride but as an event manager for a venue. She is my go to preferred coordinator. She is professional, organized, creative and wonderful to work with. That perfect day you envisioned, she will make it happen. On a professional level, she takes care of everything! Even the things you don't think about. She is there to guide you and assist you with all your planning needs from start to finish. We always look forward to working with her because we know it will be a beautiful day for our couples. read more

I mentioned in another review that B-Spoke Events, Chez Rose Floral Designs, and Royal Restaurant & Banquet were the holy trio of my wedding. The three vendors have such a great working relationship, and it really gave us a sense of confidence that everything will go smoothly. =D I knew I needed a wedding coordinator when my husband and I first planned our wedding. My husband (then fiancé) was much more difficult to convince but he is so glad we hired Bonny now that he has endured wedding planning. He was adamant that family and friends would be able to help. As much as I love my family and friends, I did not want to depend on them for many reasons. First, I want them to ENJOY our biggest day. Second, my husband and I can be picky, and we can't afford to get upset at family if something went wrong. As much as friends and family would like to help, you still need a central person to tie everything together. And Bonny was our savior! Please let Bonny take care of the details!! You will not regret it!!!! My husband and I got married at the Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden in Cal State Long Beach, and had our reception at the Royal Restaurant & Banquet in Westminster. Since my ceremony venue already provided on-site coordinators, we thought we only needed a coordinator for our reception. Bonny was able to work with me to cater a package that fit our needs. Although this worked out fine, a big part of me do wish that I hired Bonny for the entire day. I've told Bonny before, and I want to tell all the yelpers out there - Bonny was hands down the BEST investment we made in our wedding. Bonny has always been proactive in helping us beyond her line of duty, yet never being intrusive or pushy. Bonny was way more than just my reception coordinator. She drove out of her way to accompany us to meet with other vendors, she helped us pull a vision together, she put together our entire wedding day schedule, she made great vendor suggestions, she sent us reminders, she sorted out overlooked details, she listened to my rants. You can't help but develop a friendship when working so closely with somebody. =) My husband and I highly recommends Bonny! We wish Bonny and her growing business many years of success. I feel like I want to throw a big party just so that I can see Bonny again! =D read more

Bonny was wonderful as our wedding day of coordinator. I communicated with her often and thoroughly and she was able to capture my wedding vision perfectly. Our venue was very bare and she was able to put up all the decorations and setup in a timely manner. Any vendor you are missing she has a contact for. She made us a naked cake at a reasonable price and even provided some last minute confetti for our ceremony. Bonny even had a contact for a projector screen and a clean up crew. She worked with all our vendors and provide a schedule so that everyone was on the same page. The nights before we would be able drop off decorations for her to bring to the venue. Overall I would recommend her service! read more

If you ever need a wedding coordinator, Bonny is your girl! We were referred to Bonny from one of our friends and booked her for the day-of wedding coordination. From the time we booked her to the actual wedding day, Bonny was very proactive and made sure we completed all the necessary tasks in a timely manner. She was involved in our wedding decor, gave us ideas and suggestions for vendors, and met with us many times for walk-thrus at our venue to make sure everything is the way we wanted during the day-of. She created a master timeline for us, which was super helpful for all of us during the wedding day. Everytime I had an issue, she had a solution and took care of it right away for me. She was there to contact all my vendors whenever an issue arise. On our wedding day, Bonny and her team showed up on time and took care of all of us. Her and her team went above and beyond, making our wedding run so smoothly and stress-free! All of our guests had a blast and they're still talking about it and complimenting it til this day! Thank you Bonny for being there in helping us plan and coordinate our wedding day. We couldn't have done it without you! :) read more

B-Spoke Events - With our awesome wedding coordinator, Bonny, during our wedding reception [Aug 19, 2017]. - Party & Event Planning Near Me

Bonny is, simply put, amazing. For our 7/7/18 wedding, we booked Bonny and her team for month-of coordination about a year in advance. She is professional, has great communication skills, and was so helpful in the entire planning process, always willing to be available for answers to any of our questions. She has such insightful advice and great ideas for so many little aspects that you would normally overlook, and is well versed in Vietnamese traditions. Having her there for the day-of coordination allowed us to focus on having a great time, rather than on logistics. Also, we booked her to decorate our sweetheart table with a backdrop of drapery and bookshelves, and it turned out absolutely gorgeous. If you want to have your wedding be the best day of your life, book her now! read more

We were planning our New Year's Eve wedding on a budget and didn't think we could afford a coordinator nor need one. After talking to Bonny at B-Spokes Event, My wife (fiance at the time) and I were pleasantly suprised at her resonable price and decided we could use her help, so we hired her for day of coordinating for our wedding. Bonny blew us away with her professionalism, attention to detail and how far she had gone to exceed our expectations and make our night flawless. She made our NYE wedding absolutly perfect, and even included a few special details that my wife had casually mentioned might be a "nice to have but isn't needed". If you're looking for someone to help take the worry and stress out of planning your event, and who is also fun, professional, and personable, you should talk to B-Spoke Events. read more

I've attended two weddings planned by B-Spoke events--the first as a bridesmaid and the second as a guest. I worked as a wedding photographer for 5 years and have worked with many planners. In my years working as a photographer, there were perhaps 4 weddings that were ever completely on time. I was incredibly impressed by Bonny's team, who kept track of all the events and made sure everything was on time. Both brides (my sister and a cousin of mine) got to really relax and enjoy the day because everything was taken care of. I always recommended my clients hire a planner to really be able to enjoy their day, and Bonny is the perfect example of what a great wedding planner can do for you. Additionally, the events were gorgeous and had really unique touches (like a s'mores bar!). read more

As a Floral Designer, Wedding Decorator, and perfectionist, I work with many different vendors on daily basis and can allow myself to compare the businesses I work with. I had the chance to work with Bonny many times now. Bonny just loves what she does and is very passionate about her job. She will definitely put her heart and soul to help you realize your Dream Wedding and that is why she is the #1 Wedding Planner I refer to all my clients. read more

Bonny and her team at B-Spoke Events did an INCREDIBLE job planning, designing, and coordinating my wedding! I came to Bonny as a blank slate... I only knew the colors I wanted for the wedding as well as wanting a simple Cheveron pattern. She took my two very simple and generic ideas and turned it into the most beautiful wedding filled with details and personalized it to my husband and I . She was able to bring many great ideas to the table to help us plan our big day. Bonny - the owner of B-Spoke Events was not only extremely reasonablly priced, but also helped me stay within my budget. She was mindful of my needs, wants, and situation, and was so helpful throughout the wedding planning process! :) Bonny and her team went FAR ABOVE AND BEYOND what I contracted her for. She was also extremely promted with her responses to my Emails, phone calls, and texts (...yes... I was THAT bride). haha. Many days when I would be having moments of FREAKING OUT... Bonny would assure me that everything was taken care of and that it would all be perfect in the end...... she was absolutely right. :) Bonny also had some amazing referrals. 1) Chez Rose Floral Design did my bouquets and decorated my church for me. It was amazing and also extremely reasonablly priced. 2) Benjamin Vu Photography in Westminster was also a referral and his work is incredible! My photos were beautiful and he was extremely professional and definitely knew what he was doing! :) **Note -- I will post some great photos of the details from B-Spoke Events later :) THANKS BONNY & B-Spoke Events!!!!!!!! \ You made my wedding day magical, beautiful, amazing, and UNFORGETABLE!!!!!! read more

Bonny was more than wonderful! She was so helpful and saved our butts from a bridezilla break down a few times ;) She was willing to work with me on everything from timelines to invites to our budget. Bonny was able to provide realistic and knowledgeable insight and opinions which my husband and I truly valued. She has provided great suggestions for vendors and was really able to listen to what we wanted and was able to execute. I bought some moss a few days before the big day which did not go well on the escort table, and she went out of her way to go find replacement moss for the table - she truly cared about the details as much as I did! Bonny and her team were wonderful, knowledgeable, and patient. We are so happy we had the opportunity to work with such a great coordinator! read more

April 9, 2016! Bonny killed it! With a wedding party of 21 she kept things running smooth! And for a photographer that is everything! The day started rough, it was projected to pour rain all day! Lucky for us we made it through a light drizzle. Long Beach Japanese Gardens had already set up tent, which they then told us there was no going back. Which means, even if the rain stopped, we still had to do it in the tent (it was ugly, to say the least). Bonny stepped up and made it happen! Faith & Brain were given their beautiful ceremony they had hoped for and I was able to capture gorgeous photos! Cheers to Bonny for making it happen! read more

B-Spoke Events coordinated our daughter's Baby Shower - "Knitting" theme - and what an Event it was. From finding and working with the Restaurant to the Decor, which many Guests are still talking about I might add, Bonny knocked it out of the park. The theme was a complete surprise to our daughter and she still gets teary when talking about it. "It was like walking into a fairytale land." The Shower was in the Fall (sorry for late review!) and the colors were gorgeous. Centerpieces of tall trees with different size and colors of wrapped yarn balls; old fashioned BIG wooden spools wrapped with greenery; succulents with long old fashione knitting needles sticking out - I could go on and on. Bonny's creativity was unbelievable. All my daughter-in-law asked for was a "Knitting Theme" - "Sure I think I can come up with some great ideas." And did she ever. If you want something ordinary - she can do it and do it beautifully without a doubt. If you want something DIFFERENT, regardless of the Event - LOOK NO FURTHER read more

Bonny was AMAZING!! By no means am I one of those girls who had their entire wedding planned out since the age of 5. When the florist asked me what kind of flowers I wanted I responded with "uhh nice ones???!" But thanks to Bonny my wedding came out beautifully!! She came with me to look at venues and reminded me of things I needed to get done (because I would have TOTALLY forgot). The best part was the day of the wedding! Most brides and the groom have to remember a million things or delegate to their bridal party, but Bonny totally took care of everything! If something went wrong I didn't know about it!! I was able to enjoy one of the best days of my life completely worry free!! As an added bonus Bonny made sure everything was on schedule and she even managed to get us ahead of schedule so we didn't have to rush through everything!! If you're looking for a stress free smooth running wedding look no further. read more

It's been a year since Bonnie helped coordinate our Christmas Party but I haven't forgotten the wonderful job she did. Bonnie is wonderful person with beautiful ideas. She listens to your thoughts about "how" you envision your party then provides an "idea" board with many examples. She works tirelessly to bring the ideas to fruition. I highly recommend B-Spoke services. read more

I hired Bonny to help with the Vietnamese Tea Ceremony portion of my big wedding day in Topanga Canyon. Most of my Vietnamese relatives live across the country so it was important to me to have someone knowledgeable close by to help make sure we were keeping in tradition for the tea ceremony. Bonny was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond what I had imagined. She was able to give the proper guidance during phone calls to my mom, mother-in-law, and me on what to expect for the tea ceremony and how to make it our own. She went and checked out the site beforehand, rented/purchased, set up, and took down all of the beautiful decor and food items on the day of, and chose decor that was both simple but also enough to transform the room. She led the ceremony the day of with the help of her assistant (who gave me a good pep talk as I waited nervously to be "presented"), giving the groom and I guidance on what to do even down to the poses for the photos! I would absolutely recommend B-Spoke Events, especially if you need help planning a tea ceremony and don't know where to begin like I did! Bonny knows what's up! read more

Bonny had a certain miraculous execution of logistics. She provided many kind and generous personal touches and gestures, encouragement, creativity, helpful suggestions, and a devoted dedication and intuitive understanding, based on our communications and our personalities and her own insights, of precisely what would make our special occasion better than we had thought possible. She has a remarkable talent. read more

We hired Bonny for her full service wedding package services. I was nervous that "full-service" would not actually be "full-service" and I would end up doing a lot of the work myself. I was so grateful, impressed, and truly blown away by everything Bonny did for us. From just a few pictures on Pinterest and trying to express my vision to Bonny during conversations, she somehow knew exactly what I wanted and brought my vision to life on the big day. She helped us choose the BEST vendors for everything (pictures, deserts, flowers, DJ) and handled almost all of the communications and arrangements with the vendors. Thanks to Bonny, I was one of the least stressed out brides ever! I knew she had everything under control from our first meeting to the very end of the wedding (including the break down/clean up). Bonny helped create the most beautiful and most memorable day for us. Thank you Bonny! read more
