My elopement was published in The Knot magazine, while my wedding day was featured in BRIDES. I previously posted a review regarding my experience with Susan for my elopement, so this particular review is for my wedding day! Susan worked with me since day one of my wedding planning journey. She guided me throughout the entire process by providing valuable advices, helped me manage my budget, created vision boards, talked to various vendors, and handled **all the logistics. I would have been completely lost without her. There are SO MANY details that goes into a wedding that I would have never thought of. Throughout the process, Susan never let me down. She is reliable, professional, and so so soooo kind! Whenever there was a difficult situation or a hiccup along the process, Susan was always there to save the day. Hiring Susan as my wedding planner was truly one of THE best decisions. -vipa ammy c.

After our first meeting, we both had a great feeling about Susan and hired her as our wedding planner. Since then, she has been there to help and guide us along the way. Fast forward to 2020: the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Unfortunately, about two months before our wedding date, we decided to postpone it and elope this year instead. She took care of every single detail. She communicated with all our vendors, moved everything from our original wedding date to the new one in 2021, and promptly started working on the details for our elopement day. On November 15th, 2020, my husband and I eloped! Everything was absolutely perfect and more stunning than we could ever imagine. The entire process leading up to that day was fun, enjoyable, stress-free, and memorable. Having Susan as our wedding planner was the best decision we made. She is detail-oriented, organized, talented, and so incredibly sweet. One of the things I appreciate most is her communication skills. Anytime I had a question or concern, I could always count on her to get back to me. We are beyond grateful that she planned and officiated our special day :') We can't wait to see what's in store for next years big celebration :D

Valerie From (Stargaze Event) is truly the best wedding planner and such a joy to work with…read more Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Valerie is Great . She was super professional and prompt with her emails (usually same day, within minutes to hours) and always had the answer to every inane question I could think of. She has endless patience and is so detail oriented. I thought I was type A but Valerie really does think of everything. She has so much knowledge of all the venues and impeccable taste. I had the worst decision fatigue but I really relied and trusted her opinions. She also sends you the best timeline for the wedding and keeps everyone on track. I've been in several weddings and have experienced the stress of last minute catastrophes or running late. Valerie keeps you on a tight schedule and makes everything run smoothly. I hate running behind schedule but felt as if i could relax with her in charge. You can tell she really pours his heart and soul into wedding planning and goes above and beyond in everything she does. You won't have any regrets, just hire Valerie.

ATTENTION BRIDES AND GROOMS ALL OVER THE GALAXY!!!…read more Question...how much do you love yourself and your future spouse? When my husband (yay) and I first started planning our wedding we thought "yeah, we got this". I know many of you reading this post are probably thinking the exact same thing (and perhaps you do), but trust me when I say...the best thing you could ever do for yourself and the biggest day of your life (so far) is to hire the team at Rebel Belle Weddings. Let's say, hypothetically speaking, you and future betrothed have all the free time in the world together to plan the wedding of your dreams...unless you work in the wonderful world of weddings do you really know what you're doing? 6 months into our planning and after watching a million wedding shows (as many brides to be do) I decided that at the very least I wanted a planner to take charge the day of. After doing a ton of research I found Laura and Megan at Rebel Belle. Initially what drew me in was their quirky sensibility and the fact that these ladies looked tough (we knew we were going to need someone to wrangle all our guests). The most amazing thing happened after meeting Laura (or Street Fight as we lovingly call her) we decided not only did we want her for our day of, but also for her full planning expertise. Laura set us straight that day in the best way, we realized not only did we need, but we deserved someone to barter, bargain and back us up. Here's the thing, I was foolish to think that not hiring a wedding planner would save us money to pay for other things. The reality of the situation is that Rebel Belle paid for themselves 10 fold! Within a week of signing the contract Laura hooked us up with a caterer from her VIP vendor list. Not only did her VIP have a better menu than any on our venue's preferred list but also cost less than the buy out fee (we had to pay to get an outsider caterer) and total cost of food combined! Every vendor they referred us to gave us deal after amazing deal. Not only were each vendor experts in their field but also truly amazing human beings. Rebel Belle has a posse and you want to get to know them! I could go on for days about these amazing women who I am lucky enough to call friends, but I'll cut it short and return to my first question...how much do you love yourself and your future spouse? I've talked to many of my married friends and each of them said they were at eachother's throats throughout the planning process. I almost feel guilty. Planning the most amazing day of my life (which it was, so far) with my husband, Laura and Megan was seriously the most fun I had since my party days in college! So if you love your honey, like I love mine, you'll hire Rebel Belle Weddings. Let go of the stress, stay on budget, get everything you deserve and have the most fun ever! These ARE the planners you've been looking for!

Hi, my name is Jennifer... and I'm a control freak. I do marketing and events for a living, so when…read moreit came to our big day, I was planning this thing down to the most minute detail... so anyone working with us needed to have a near OCD level of "on top of things." We were also planning a very unique day, one that combined more than TEN different areas of our collective geek passions (Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, etc), so anyone working with us needed to be fluent in geek speak. Enter Laura and her Rebel Belle team. There are no words for what a godsend Rebel Belle was for our day. We hired them to consult with us throughout the process,help us with vendors, reign us in when necessary, but more often than not, encourage us to let our geek flag fly and make our ideas bigger and better. As we got down to the wire, Laura (who completely understood my level of obsessive planning) sat me down and said, "Jen, I'm going to need you to give me this wedding, I've got this." And you know what? She and her team had every single detail (from the matching custom centerpiece, chargers and menu card wraps, to the correct placement of the Stormtroopers) flawlessly executed. I was truly able to enjoy the day and didn't worry about a thing (which is no small feat for me). We had a complete trust in Laura and her team to make our day everything we wanted and more, and they went above and beyond. Laura and her team are brilliant, professional, fun, and truly lovely people (but are tough when they need to be!). We couldn't have done it without them, and recommend that you don't either. :)

For anyone who might be getting married in the Orange County area and are still looking for a day…read moreof coordinator, Karene at Your Day Of is the girl for you! Not only is she an incredibly kind and considerate person, but also an extremely talented event planner who made our wedding day so special for my husband Erik and me. Her attention to detail and amazing organization skills eased all tension and stress off of me as a bride. I didn't worry one bit about the small details because I knew she had it under control. The whole day ran smoothly as a result of her leadership, and that allowed us to enjoy every little moment. I would hire her again in a heart beat.

Being frugal and a DYI-er, I didn't even consider a planner at first. A co-worker had some…read moreinsightful advice on planners and their ability/connections that could actually lead to more savings down the road. I then took to research on finding a cost effective planner. After tons of research, inquired with 6 planners explaining our $10K budget for our wedding. Two of them didn't even respond, 2 others had fees that were a majority of our budget, and 1 girl scoffed at our budget and condescendingly directed me to a blog mocking a $10K wedding budget. Cindy was the only one who provided a sincere, warm, and welcome response and was excited at the prospect of meeting with us to explore some possibilities within our budget. Ultimately we went with a close friend that is a wedding planner by trade who offered to do our wedding essentially for free. I guess we didn't delve enough into the process to speak to Cindy's execution and value, but I do want to say from the planners I interacted with, she was a breath of fresh air and I'm actually disappointed we won't be working with her.

Professional, meticulous, and creative are the first three words that come to mind when describing…read moreAC wedding and events. We had only two months before our wedding and we had nothing planned. Cindy guided us through step by step and made what would have been a stressful process become nothing more than running a few extra errands a week. Because of her vast experience, she had the framework for wedding planned out from the get-go. We knew from the start that she would be doing all of the thinking, which was a great deal of weight lifted from our backs; we were in good hands. Our greatest fear in having a wedding planner was that we would be pressured into doing things the way the wedding planner wanted; this was not the case with Cindy. She worked with us and took very special care in customizing every minute detail in the wedding plan; she was very creative and was able to throw dozens of ideas our way, letting us pick and choose what we wanted to do. Whenever there was one thing that we said no or hesitated on, she was able to give us two more options; she wasn't satisfied until she knew that we were satisfied. Everytime we met Cindy she would bring a portfolio of everything we have accumulated so far. We'd always forget what we had to bring or what we should bring, but soon after we figured out that she would have everything that we needed; we pretty much relied on her for everything. She would send us a to-do list or reminders after every meeting, so we never once had to wonder what was left to be done. She definitely made wedding planning something that barely interfered with our lives; we were shocked how smooth everything went. Whether it was before, during or after the wedding, Cindy was available to us when we really needed her. We couldn't imagine how we would have survived without her and if we were to go back in time to choose again, we would without a doubt choose AC Wedding & Events to do our wedding planning.

I don't plan on getting married again :) but I would definitely refer Di Lusso's services to friends & hire them in the future for any corporate or personal grand affairs I need planned.

I'm so grateful for her help and support I almost don't want to tell anyone else about Di Lusso because I want all of her time (!) but I feel my duty is to give credit where credit is due. 5+ stars without a doubt! I can't wait to work with them for wedding planning! Michelle's own wedding was featured in multiple magazines. They know what they are doing and they'll make it an event to remember forever.

My fiance and I had an initial meeting with her, we both liked her a lot and signed a contract pretty early on. Cassie is very responsive, friendly and sweet! She was amazing at reaching out to all our other vendors and confirming everything, creating a timeline, and handling our venue's strict policies. She really helped everything run so smoothly during the rehearsal (our wedding party is very easily distracted and definitely needed a lot of wrangling, lol) and the wedding day. She came at the very beginning for setup and stayed until the very end and kept me updated via text. One of my favorite things she did was that she checked on me several times throughout the wedding to make sure I was ok or if I needed anything - really appreciated that! Definitely would recommend Cassie!!

I would not know what I would have done if I did not hire Becca. My coworker used Becca for her…read morewedding and raved about her. After a few meetings, it was easy to see why. For the first two months of our engagement, I attempted to do the planning all by myself. Given that I had a tight budget but a large (250-ish) guest list, I easily got overwhelmed. All of that went away with just one phone call with Becca. Within a few months, we broke down the budget, booked a venue, and interviewed photographers/videographers. Becca handled all the calls, scheduling, and negotiating. It was absolutely wonderful! She just kept things moving that I never felt stressed during the planning the process. People kept telling me to make sure I don't forget the little things. I never really worried about missing anything, however, because Becca would send me checklists to keep me on top of everything. My (now) husband and I eventually put full trust in Becca's recommendations, specifically for the videographer, desserts, and photo booth. We were so glad we did! Our guests kept giving us compliments for all three. Becca also helped out with some of our decorations, which turned out beautiful! I'll be sure to post pictures once I get them. I highly recommend to anyone! She does a lot for you and definitely pays for herself with how much time and money she'll save you.
