Alan and his team are THE BEST. We had so many changes to our wedding plans but the one thing we…read moreknew wouldn't disappoint us was working with Great Officiants. From the jump, Alan and his team were incredibly nice, honest, responsive, and excellent at explaining the whole process to us. Wedding planning was a roller coaster ride and they're here for all of it. Alan was our officiant and he made our whole ceremony so light yet romantic. It was added humor and my husband and I appreciated all of it.

Yenmin was absolutely AMAZING! I did not expect to cry at all and the tears were FLOWINGGGGGG. She gave an option to do the ceremony in Spanish for my family and we did not expect that. Very professional and accommodating staff! The second Yenmin began to give the ceremony, I felt as if me and my husband were alone in the room getting ready to step into the next phase of our life. This experience was everything I could have imagined. Thank you so much!!!!

My review is extremely super late! Like 5-6 years late. But I wanted a fast almost like "Vegas…read morewedding chapel" style. I came across this place! Highly recommended! Very professional and fast! We wanted our wedding to be on our anniversary (Veterans day). They can come to you, or you can go to them. Now, we got married during the pandemic so it was very limited to what they can actually offer at their location. We brought in tripods to set up our phones to do a virtual wedding. I had Facebook live and my husband had zoom on his. This allowed all of our friends and family to attend from near and far. We got there at 1030am to set up and sign the documents. Then the ceremony started at 11am and finished at 11:11am! It did not take us 1 hour to get married, took us longer to set up than it did for the whole process lol. The BEST part is they do EVERYTHING that deals with paperwork for you! During covid, that meant everything because I didnt have to worry about going to file at the county, or deal with people. I know my sister-in-law got married at the same place and so did another colleague from work after we did.

The setting was breathtaking--intimate, romantic, and surrounded by natural beauty that made our ceremony feel like something out of a dream. The team took care of everything so seamlessly, allowing us to focus entirely on each other and the moment. If you're considering eloping, this is the place.

It was only me, my mom, my baby, and husband. I uploaded photos... I chose not to purchase extras or florals and just look at my backdrop!! . I chose the bohemian look and it was such a dream. Marni and Shaunte were ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL... So helpful, kind, and sweet! The photographer, Michael, what an amazing personality and just person all around! He was making us laugh and smile the entire time.. he is such a natural with his camera.. he made us feel so good and the shots he got were fantastic.. The venue is so adorable and the ambiance and vibe is GORGEOUS! I'm telling you.. If I had all the money in the world, I'd still choose to elope at Elope Long Beach... I'm beyond happy I found them.

We truly cannot recommend Allie and the Pop the Champagne team more…read more From the very beginning, they were always right there when we needed them. Allie was constantly answering our questions, thinking ahead, and making sure we felt supported every step of the way. They take their work seriously in all the right ways, but what makes them so special is how fun, funny, and genuinely sweet they are while doing it. Allie has the absolute best energy: calm, capable, and somehow still light and joyful even in high-stress moments. Our family and friends were obsessed with her. On the wedding day itself, Allie and team absolutely crushed it. They did an incredible job wrangling our wild group of family and friends, keeping everything on track without it ever feeling rigid or stressful. We felt so taken care of and if we needed something, she was already there. If something needed handling, it was handled seamlessly. Because of the PTC team, we were able to be fully present and actually enjoy our day without worrying about logistics, timelines, or a single detail. That peace of mind is priceless. If you're looking for a coordinator who is professional, organized, hilarious, kind, and just an all-around joy to be around, this is your team. We're endlessly grateful and would recommend them to anyone, without hesitation. If you're going back and forth or if you think you might not need a coordinator (heads up, you do) well, just book them already!!! You will not regret it. Seriously. Go book them now.

Unfortunately, I was not able to have the Forever & Always Wedding that I dreamed of. Although…read moreHeather communicated very well, there were a couple of incidents that I found slightly unprofessional: 1. I signed a contract with one of her staff as my wedding planner. Unfortunately, from my understanding, there were unexpected changes in the company, so Heather had to take over. However, Heather responded that she would make an exception for me and not charge me an additional $1000 for this change. With all due respect, I should not be financially penalized for changes that an owner experiences; especially since I already signed the contract that I financially agreed to. 2. I encountered a lot of life changes that disrupted my ability to move forward with a wedding that my brothers were supposed to be in. For instance, I had a depressed, suicidal brother, I had another brother leave for Japan for the Marines, and I had an uncle pass away. All vendors except for Heather were so kind to fully refund my deposits due to the situation. Unfortunately, Heather responded that she was still a businesswoman and was financially hurting, so she was in no place to offer a full refund. I basically paid Heather almost $500 to establish a simple contract. I already had all the vendors in place and organized, so this deposit was for nothing. Heather should not be held responsible for unexpected circumstances, but this wedding meant a lot to me. As a business owner, you should be able to compromise with your clients based on their situation. I could have easily used that deposit to help my family for the funeral. I find this situation absurd because I never wanted a wedding planner to begin with. Our wedding list was only 32 guests, but my fiancé insisted that we hire a planner because he did not want me to stress out. I admire him for caring, but this wedding was going to be a private and intimate event with very little management. I blame myself for hiring a wedding planner when I did not need one. It is unfortunate that Heather was thinking like a businesswoman and not a human being with empathy. Nonetheless, please make sure to ask about the refund policy for emergencies such as death, health, etc. Two stars are for her communication, but I can only evaluate Heather based on my experience with her before the wedding date. Therefore, I am unable to provide feedback for her day service since my wedding never happened. Has it ever occurred to you, Heather, that you had not heard from me in a year because I was busy dealing with other important things like planning a funeral? My wedding was the last thing on my mind. Also, I was not complaining about the charge that never happened, I am complaining about your response to your changes. There was no need to comment on that you are more expensive and won't be charging me. We could have proceeded forward with whatever it was we were doing. You contacted ONE venue and that is because they had YOU sign a contract with them. FYI, my pre-engagement photos were scheduled with the photographer I hired for my wedding and I was still refunded the full amount. This vendor did not work for free either and still managed to prioritize customer service over money. You are a business owner and have the liberty to do as you please, but you must have needed the money more than I did, so I hope my contributions helped your business. Nonetheless, well done on your communication. If you have a family member with a life-threatening illness or you have a medical condition that may require potential hospitalization, please do not hire Heather as your wedding planner as she will not refund you the deposit because not make exceptions for your situation simply because she does not "work for free." Thank you.

It's so important to relate to and connect with your wedding planner and from day 1 it felt like…read moreshe was my friend helping me plan my dream wedding. I found Heather through Yelp and let me say: she really understood my vision and kept it real with me on what i could and couldn't afford lol. Not to mention, I literally and honestly don't know how I could have enjoyed my wedding without Heather. Her and her assistant, Courtney, handled E V E R Y T H I N G on the day of our wedding at the Estate on Second and then some. If there was any sort of problem, she had the solution. If we needed a drink, she was there with mine and my husband's signature cocktails. If I was losing track of time, she made sure to gently push me along. She truly handled everything so that me and my husband could just have FUN and for that I am truly grateful.

One of the best decisions we made was working with Meghan and her team from Green Apple Event Co.!…read more It's overwhelming trying a coordinator since it's probably the most important decision in planning your day and other than reviews there is very little to go off of. This review is 100% honest. We got married at The Loft on Pine a few weeks ago, and if anyone is getting married there you NEED to work with Green Apple! She has a lot of experience with the venue, she used to work there, and knows all the little details and rules. We chose their Simply Coordination Services, and along with our two helpful in-person meetings, Meghan and her team were easy to reach by phone and email with any questions or needs. I never felt like I was inconveniencing them with questions or concerns, and everyone was quick to respond. She also gave great suggestions and advice on how to set up our day. The Loft on Pine's standard hours given for a wedding is 5 hours, and I was nervous that we wouldn't have a lot of time for dancing, which was super important for me. Also, she gave the excellent recommendation of hiring DartDJ. They are incredible! At the rehearsal, Meghan was super patient and made it quick and fun. My husband is one of 7 and we had about 8 little ones in our wedding, so you can only imagine how hectic it could have been. She also helped us store our own decor on site. The day of couldn't have gone better! I honestly can't recall anything going wrong, and if it did Meghan handled it so none of us were aware. Even my father, who has pretty high expectations and is the first to point out when things feel like they're dragging, was so impressed with the flow of the wedding and reception. Everything was seamless. Not only did it go smoothly, we had more than enough time to dance! My family, husband, and I continue to sing Meghan's praises, and can confidently say that if we did it all over again...we would do it exactly the same. You don't get to do your wedding day over, so make sure it goes perfectly and work with Green Apple Event Co.!

Wedding planning can be intimidating, exhausting, overwhelming, and stressful. On the flip side, it…read moreis a beautiful and creative process. Finding the perfect wedding planner to help us navigate this huge undertaking was our key first step in the planning process and we were so fortunate to cross paths with the brilliant team at Green Apple. Our main goal was to find a planner that would be collaborative and creative; someone who would guide us with their expertise, but work with us to help bring our ideas to life. Meghan was that brilliant and creative mind to engineer our dream wedding. Meghan and her team are very experienced and it is evident in their work. They helped us stay on top of so many small details that we would have otherwise overlooked or not been aware of at all. She is familiar with all of the modern and current styles in the industry, from signage to florals, but her vision goes so far beyond delivering you an "on trend" wedding. She incorporates so much of the personality and creative tastes of the couples she works with, and this was very apparent in our finished product. We worked with Meghan on a full-planning service and she was by our side from a week after our engagement all the way until the dance floor cleared on our wedding night. The full planning was a dream, as she helped us navigate everything including vendor visits, budget planning, contract review, catering tastings, and design elements among other countless details; she goes beyond just the business aspect of wedding planning, she was tuned in to our personal experiences during the entire process, including our family dynamics, guest list drama and sometimes just serving as someone we could vent to about the emotions that come along with planning. She was an absolute dream to work with. Day-of coordination went off without a hitch. With a guest count of over 250 people, an offsite church ceremony, 2 venue spaces to set up between cocktail hour and the dining/dancing, navigating downtown LA traffic, and coordinating with over a dozen vendors, this was a hectic day. Meghan and her team pulled everything off FLAWLESSLY. I cannot stress enough how organized and timely everything went; as the bride and groom, we had absolutely no stress or worry about things being in place or on time. She was graceful in handling any family situations that came up, tended to our needs and timelines, and was just so pleasant with our family and friends. We could not have asked for a better experience than what we had with Green Apple Event Co. Meghan helped deliver our dream wedding and looking back on it we will always have fond memories of our time spent creating with her and her amazing team. Thank you, Meghan!
