I am so obsessed of the detail and how they decorated my son's birthday so beautifully! Sue and Ivy went above and beyond and made my vision come to life for my son's Dorl birthday party! I had so many little questions, and they were just so patient every step of the way to make sure I got all my answers! Sue and Ivy are truly an amazing team to work with! I highly recommend them! read more

This is our second time hiring colortree to coordinate and decorate for our baby's dohl (first birthday). Ask for Terry! He is very professional, extremely personable and helpful! He personally MC'd our event and people thought he was our family friend or someone we knew! So many people at our event thought we knew him personally--which is a huge compliment to how smoothly the event flowed. The ladies did a wonderful job decorating. Very reasonable prices considering how expensive it can get to throw a Korean first birthday lately! read more

Terry and Ivy did an amazing job decorating my daughter's doljanchi. Easy to work with and easy to communicate with.

Sue was amazing! Very attentive, great service and clear communication. It was my daughter's 100 days and I have rented the table (the whole set up) for under $100. The table was well made, such gorgeous pieces with beautiful floral details. It was perfect! read more

Color Tree Event - Party & Event Planning Near Me - Buena Park, California

What a fantastic team! Terry and Ivy are amazing at what they do! This was my first time seeking help from an event planning company and I am so glad I decided to go with Color Tree Event! The entire process was seamless and smooth. From the moment I first reached out to them to the event day, everything was perfect! They were super responsive after my initial inquiry email. I shared my vision with them and got great suggestions. I needed help planning my son's first birthday in a Korean Traditional way (Dol). I had no idea where to begin and how to plan so I needed expert help. I did not want to trouble my family and with my limited free time it only made perfect sense to have a planner who specializes in this type of event to assist me. Ivy is a great designer and really nailed it. She made my vision come true. I was looking for a fusion theme: an outer space theme with Korean elements. Terry is a great entertainer and I was lucky to have him MC'd our event. They were both super friendly and professional. They were both extremely helpful and on the event day they both took charge coordinating the event. My friends and family were impressed with the whole event. They all commented how great the set up was and how fun the party was. My MIL was the happiest. She let me know this was one of the best Dol parties she has ever been to. She loved everything. She also let me know Terry was a great MC! Thank you Color Tree Event for helping me create such a great memorable party! I had an amazing experience and I am very thankful for all your of your hard work. I will keep you in mind for any other future events!! read more

Terry and Ivy went above and beyond in coordinating my son's 1st birthday! I booked Color Tree Event a few months before the party date and Terry was so incredibly helpful in helping to guide my vision for the day of. From the very first call, he put me at ease and assured me that he was very experienced and not to worry (especially given I have no experience in party planning and no idea how it was all going to come together). He was always so responsive to my many questions and never pushy about what to do. Instead, he would ask many questions and suggest a few options that we worked together to refine...and the end result was beyond my expectations. Terry and Ivy showed up right on time the day of and very quickly set up the venue in record speed. And Uncle Terry even MC'd the entire event, complete with activities and games to keep the guests entertained. We had great feedback from all our guests on how fun the party ended up being. Breakdown was just as quick as the party wrapped up, and the venue was left as clean as when we arrived. Overall, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish and I highly recommend booking Color Tree for any event you may be planning. They made the entire process so seamless and painless and ended up executing the party flawlessly. We're looking forward to working together with Terry and Ivy for future parties. :) read more

Terry and Ivy helped us with day of coordination, MC services, rental decor for our dohl head table/doljabi items, floral arrangements, dessert station, and rice cake favor boxes. However, they can customize for more services that are needed, as they do comprehensive planning and will work with your budget. They helped our sky themed Doljanchi run smoothly and they knew our needs without us having to instruct them on what had to be set up/cleaned up at the party. Ivy was great especially with helping us set up decor items that we brought and with packing up our leftover catering at the end and Terry kept our guests entertained with his MC services. We can't thank them enough for helping us throw such a beautiful party! read more

Sue and Terry delivered in giving us the best doljanchi party for our daughter on very short notice! They came recommended by a friend and we are so happy that we entrusted this important milestone event to them. I had very little time to plan in advance, so their ability to pull so many things together on short notice and then set up the most beautiful decor, while being mindful of our vision and preferences, and also being reasonably priced for the value we received, is tremendously appreciated by our family. Our guests all had an amazing time under Terry's charismatic MC presence, and our non-Korean friends in particular expressed how special the cultural experience was for them. We would recommend their company whole heartedly. Thank you so much for helping create these beautiful forever memories for our family. read more

Color Tree Event - My daughter's dohl table done by Sue and Terry - Party & Event Planning Near Me - Buena Park, California

So Terry and his team just did my son's dohl this past weekend and at the time of the event, I was so sleep deprived I didn't notice a lot of the shortcomings or defects until later in my guests' photos and videos. First of all, the venue said our event planner could start decorating at 9 am and Terry and his team showed up at 9:50 am. When I saw some things were different from what was originally discussed and agreed upon, and asked him about it, he said they ran out of time. Second, our venue provided the right number of tables and chairs per table, but had rearranged the tables so that they were in a different order than the diagram that had been emailed us. Any event planner who has done any event should be able to problem solve on the fly, but not Terry's team. He had delegated the placement of seat cards to his incompetent assistant who put the 14 person group place cards at a 10 person table and vice versa. We had several guests come up to my husband and I asking if there were any way to have them sit w their friends and we got confused because according to the seating chart I had worked on all week, they were supposed to be with their friends. You want to know how bad this assistant messed up? I, the mother of the birthday boy and hostess, was not sitting with her husband or baby, the birthday boy. I asked Terry to fix the mistake and his assistant couldn't figure it out so my husband, my sister in law and I had to take over, this mistake cost us about 30 minutes of food service that we had paid for. Also I'm pretty sure this same incompetent assistant was probably responsible for the welcome table, which was at the back? Not by the front door? We had bought a special guestbook where guests sign a wooden heart and drop it inside a wooden space ship, imagine my surprise when I see the assistant didn't set up the stand and the space ship is laying flat on the table. Third; the decorations were not as expected and far below acceptable. I had paid for block letters for my son's name only to find out after the event was over and the photos are done; that the A is an upside down V and the B is much larger than the rest of the letters. When I looked at their photos of the other party at the same time; I saw the other kid's name GABE had a normal appearing A and correct size B. Please look at my photos. The block letters mistake is front and center in all of my event photos! Also, we had agreed upon a balloon arch that would be thicker along the bottom and had been sent photos of what my $100 upgrade would look like and that was not at all what was delivered. I know there were two parties at the same time for this company, and it looks like my party got shortchanged because Ivy the designer went to the other party. Fourth; we paid for Terry to MC for us. I think he does too many of these events to invest any time or effort on his part. The MC was very disorganized and very rushed. He kept forgetting my husband wanted to give a speech before the birthday cake, and we had told Terry my husband created a game to be played during the meal and he kept trying to move on to other games while guests were already playing my husband's game. The whole event was just a mess and I thought having an MC would allow for the event to flow seamlessly from activity to activity but nope, our event was just utter chaos from start to end. Fifth, don't get my started in the doljabi which is considered the main event of the dohl party. Terry said he would provide a camera and a keyboard. If I had known he was referring to a camera keychain and keyboard keychain, I would have brought my own stuff from home! Your whole business is online and I asked for photos so many times during the planning process and he would just refer me to his IG page. How do you not have photos of the individual choices for design for events when this is your entire business? Sixth, finally we asked Terry and his assistant to try to help us hand out party favors before all our guests left since there wasn't a designated table and my husband and I didn't want to end up with 60 sugar cookies. They said no, just leave it, guests will find it. My husband and I, beyond exhausted, we walked from table to table to hand these out to our guests since the event planner and assistant we hired were too lazy and unwilling to do it. I'm not writing this review to be mean, but as a warning to other potential clients. For one of the most important celebrations in your baby's life, I strongly recommend you look elsewhere. I wish I did. I even tipped Terry and his assistant in the end in the off chance that I use them again in the future. But as I look at more and more ruined photos of my baby's dohl, I know I will never use them again. read more

I just finished putting away the for my second son's first birthday. Color Tree Events did all the decor for my first son's birthday, and I am so glad I chose them again for my second. We rented the decorations and set it up ourselves at home. (We are social distancing.) Terry made it so easy for us to design and rent the decor. He worked extra to make sure everything was communicated via email - every detail was confirmed, sketches were sent (Ivy has an awesome eye for design), and he even accommodated a last minute change. My experience with my first son's birthday already informed me that Color Tree is very detailed and eager to please their clients. With this DIY Home Set Up Rental Package, I was happy to see that I was still receiving that superior level of detail and service. I was thoroughly impressed with the packing. You can tell each item was hand-picked, hand-wrapped, and hand-packed specifically for my event. I was happy to know each item was inspected thoroughly and I would not be met with an unexpected surprise that sometimes happens with rentals. At their recommendation, I took pictures of each box and the contents in each. This made tear-down and re-packing very simple. I will post pictures once I receive them! Bottom Line: - DIY Home Set Up Rental Package is a great option. - Set up is easy. - Color Tree takes care of every detail and still makes you feel super special with home rentals. - Strongly recommended back in 2017, and I still strongly recommend in 2020. read more

Super attentive, detailed, and clear communication as we prepared for our dolchanji party. On the day of the event, Terry was a great coordinator and made it a lot easier for me to enjoy the party! The decor looked great! Terry was a great MC and kept the party moving. You can tell he's been doing this a while and guided us through the best way to handle a party full of babies! Will likely work with them again in the future! read more

For my second child's first dohl birthday, I decided to give myself a break and hire a party coordinator for my first time. After checking out several quotes from other dohl planners, Color Tree offered the most budget friendly and flexible choices. I loved that Terry was able to work with my budget and he was ever so patient with my indecisiveness and me using a few of my own stuff or DIY some decor. The floral backdrop turned out more beautiful than I imagined and the party was a big success, also due to Terry hiring a magician who was the perfect entertainment for the kids and adults. Moreover, I was so relieved Terry helped bring some order to the party, and helped MC. I would've been super stressed out trying to lead the party while also engaging my baby and toddler. Color Tree was very impressive and they truly go above and beyond your expectations with planning and service! Thank you so much Terry and Ivy!!! :) read more

Had a fantastic experience working with Color Tree Event for our baby's first birthday (Korean dol)! Terry was super responsive, patient with all of my questions, and super accommodating. They have an amazing selection of rentals specific for Korean dol, which is great so I don't have to worry/stress about having the right things on the head table, or even buying something I may never use again in the future. They even have all of the doljabi items (with additional ones to swap if you wish). The rental fees were extremely reasonable, and their setup as well. Color Tree Event also provides MC services and if you're lucky to get Uncle Terry you're in for a real treat. He had all of our guests (both young and old) laughing and having a good time throughout the event. Terry was also great at checking our baby's overall condition throughout the day and knowing when was the ideal time to take photos, or move on to the next event. I was super late (because baby lol), but Terry and his team didn't bat an eyelash and had everything set up and ready to go. I am so grateful for Terry and his team's amazing service and hospitality and quite frankly our baby's dol would not have been possible without them. Thank you! read more

If I didn't have Color Tree, OMYGOSH, I wouldn't have my wedding BUT only as a "working bride." Ivy, Terry, and Jina were excellent!!!! From the intro/beginning, Ivy has been so helpful in making me relax and feel relieved, and her detailed guidelines for everything were on top of everything! On the wedding day, Terry entertained the bride and groom and guests! Jina was so kind and lovely - she escorted me (bride) everywhere, every time. Color Tree does many different events. I will absolutely work with them again for future events too. THANK YOU COLOR TREE CREW! read more

We're so grateful to Terry and his team for helping us with literally everything. They helped us choose a location, connected us to a photographer, decorated and set everything up so stunningly. The dol table was gorgeous! Terry went above and beyond our expectations. Thank you so much Color Tree Event! I highly recommend anyone interested in hiring them for their child's dol celebration. You won't be disappointed. read more

I planned a Korean first birthday party for my second daughter on 9-28-2019. I used Color Tree Event for the second time. I previously worked with them in 2017 to decorate my first daughter's 1st birthday party. Terry and Ivy are so great to work with. From the beginning, they were able to walk me through the process of planning my daughter's dream first birthday. I picked my theme, colors, price budget and venue and they did the rest. On the day of the event, they came early to set everything up (and tear down) and I just showed up! I had a Korean traditional head table set up with the doljabi game. They prepped it all. Bonus: Terry is a great MC! He is not shy to work with the venue and other vendors on the day of the event and get on the mic to move the party along. I appreciated that~ (so that my husband and I could enjoy our guests and did not have to worry about the rest!) I would highly recommend Color Tree Event for your next party! read more

Terry and his assistant Sue, were a big help for the day of the event. We booked months in advance and Terry followed up with me prior to the party to ensure that we ironed out the details. He showed up on time to set up, kept us on schedule during the party and did a great job with the decor and breakdown. I will say that Sue was a standout assistant for the day. She went above what was expected of her by helping decorate with florals, helping me with the baby, communicating with the venue staff and just being there BTS to fill in where I may have lacked as a host. We had a great time working with Colortree! read more

Terry and his team were absolutely amazing to work with for my son's first birthday party this past weekend in Costa Mesa.

During the party, Terry made sure everything went smoothly and went out of his way to make sure we were all happy including my baby. We are so grateful for Terry and his team for making our son's first birthday party a memorable day. I will for sure use them again for any future events. read more

She made my party preparation stress free! She was on top of everything. She communicated with my venue people and all my other vendors. Ivy took care of everything~~ from my welcome table, photo table, head table, gift table, dessert table and centerpieces. It was such a very pretty party.

If you are planning any type of party, look no further, Color Tree Event is your company. We used Color Tree Event for our daughter's first birthday party. They are experts at planning the dol event. Based on your budget, they will create a beautiful setup tailored to your needs and wants. They have a nice website that showcases all the different colors/themes you can choose from. Though their packages are pricey (on average around $900), you are paying for them to create your vision, set up, and take down the decorations so you don't have to. Terry and Ivy were prompt to our location. They were very efficient with setting up all the tables/decorations. They also came back on time to take everything down. They were organized and had everything we discussed over emails and phone calls. One minor issue was it got hard to get a hold of Terry at times but otherwise their service on the day of was top notch. read more

Recommend them 100%! I worked with Color Tree Events for my daughter's dohl (Korean traditional first birthday). Given that is COVID season, we had to do a small family gathering. But Terry and Ivy made this small event shine! They help accommodate your needs and work to make the event super special. I'm very picky and requested specific things, and they remembered everything. They set everything up to perfection! And as a bonus, Terry explained to us why each thing is utilized! We didn't have a professional photographer, so Terry stayed and helped us get good pictures and even helped photograph the moments! I will sure work with them again! Thank you Terry and Ivy! LOVED YOUR WORK! read more

I have meant to write this review so many months ago, but I haven't been able to, but it needed to be done.Terry, Ivy and team were so great! I was in need of help for my son's first birthday party and they were affordable, had great reviews and were Korean! I'm Korean, but I had no idea what to do for my son's Dol and I'm so thankful and grateful for Color Tree Event for basically taking care of all the details. They were able to tailor our needs and budget with their services and they truly should take full credit for how well the party turned out. I had a few ideas of my own and Terry and Ivy, through constant communication with me, were able to have what I envisioned, a reality. The day of, the team came in early and immediately began setting up the room even before I was able to arrive to the venue. They worked with my decor and I gave them free reign to use what they wanted and set it up however they would like to make it "look pretty" and boy, did they! The decor was clean and simple, but still very classy. We also used "Uncle Terry" to MC our event which made things much easier for my husband and I to enjoy the event and also manage our son. Without the help of Color Tree Event, I would have been a huge ball of stress leading up to the event and day of. They really saved me on this one and if we do end up having another child, we'll be sure to contact CTE again for his/her Dol as well. read more

I was very happy with Color Tree Events for my baby's dohl. I wanted a very traditional dohl table look and they have the best, high quality linens and decorations. I was first taken aback by the final price of everything, but I truly believe they were worth every penny. Ivy and Terry are great. I never met Deborah in person but she has a very nice email persona. Grace set up on the day of and she seemed very sweet and very precise with her set up (the perfectionist in me was very thankful). They came early and finished setting up well ahead of my start time. To my surprise, Terry offered to help MC the event. He suggested some games to throw in to keep the party lively. His presence on the mic was so natural, my guests thought that he was my uncle! I haven't been to too many dohl events so his expertise was very helpful. The only advice I have: make sure everything that you want is listed on the invoice. In our face-to-face meeting, Ivy and I talked about having fake flowers as part of the decor but I never noticed that it wasn't listed in the invoice, I just assumed it was going to be included since we had discussed it in person. On the day, the flowers were not there :[ So, do make sure everything little thing you want is listed in the invoice! Other than that little mishap, everything was wonderful! read more

Great company. Planned everything with Terry in person and was able to communicate by email and text for changes. They accept card and venmo. Super impressed with Ivy and her team. Ivy is the designer and was able to incorporate our chinese and korean theme into the main table. We had to provide the plastic red egg and money envelopes but everything else was provided by Ivy. They had set up before everyone arrived and had all the doljabi and smash cake accents ready - like the floor mats, the cake holder, the doljabi items. Super easy going and flexible team, was pleasant to work with. We didnt have enough time to put up balloons and Colortree initiated and promptly refunded us without us having to complain or ask. They kept us on time and they did all their clean up. Overall they were exactly what I needed. read more

And they executed it with flying colors!!! They took away a lot of the burden from my husband, and I, and we are so grateful for them. Their decorations were gorgeous!! And it turned out so dreamy! but on top of it they stayed and made sure everything went seamlessly. They helped in all areas of her party, and I can't thank them enough!!!

If I can give them more stars, I would! There's a reason why Color tree has perfect reviews. They are soooo helpful! I was stressing out about my baby's dohl. I didn't know there was an event coordinator for these type of events so I relied on them heavily! Everything turned out great and I thought Terry was very funny as an MC. Their decorations were very cute and nicely kept. They were very informative and helpful throughout the whole planning process. There was another dohl event happening next to our ballroom and that mom didn't have a coordinator so I was told that she was setting up the place like 4 hours before the event started while I got to the event with my baby just 30 mins before... Whew, I'm glad I had Color tree for my event! read more
