Dani went through everything with us beforehand--our schedule, decorations, vendors, venue layout, etc.-- and it felt like a physical weight came off our shoulders. There was nothing left for us to do but enjoy the day we'd worked so hard on. We had a perfect event where not a single thing went wrong (or if it did, we weren't bothered with the details!). Everything was ready and waiting for us whenever and wherever it was supposed to be. From the beginning, the team helped us source high quality vendors and addressed any questions and concerns we had. Dani even stepped in and helped navigate a problematic vendor with professionalism, grace, and a few good laughs. We can't say enough good things about how much attention and care the PTC crew put into our day!

From cocktail hour to…read moredinner and the entire reception, the music was perfect and kept the energy up all night long. The dance floor was never empty, and he did an amazing job reading the crowd and playing exactly what people wanted to hear. We also had a diverse audience of Peruvian, Nicaraguan, and our friends of American millennial upbringing and everyone enjoyed his set. Beyond the music, his energy was contagious and truly elevated the atmosphere of our wedding. He helped make the night feel even more meaningful, memorable, and fun for everyone there. Throughout the planning process, Carlos was flexible, attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. He was so easy to work with and made everything feel seamless and stress-free. If you're looking for someone who will keep your guests dancing and create an unforgettable experience, look no further. Thanks again Carlos!

He handled the music for the entire event and completely nailed the vibe from start to finish--it truly felt like a nonstop party. We had guests on the dance floor all night long, and I've received so many compliments about the playlist! Carlos was also a pleasure to work with. He's kind, professional, and made the whole process easy with great communication. He really took the time to understand the atmosphere we wanted and delivered it perfectly. The photo booth was another huge hit with our guests--such a fun addition that I'd highly recommend to anyone planning an event. 10/10 experience--I would absolutely use LB Entertainment again if I ever need a DJ. Amazing job, and thank you so much for helping make our day unforgettable!

To make a long story short: Linda is incredible and will make your special day absolutely magical…read more If I could give her more than five stars, I would! The long story: Linda was recommended to us by the Queen Mary, where we had both our ceremony and reception. At first, my mother, who put A LOT of work into preparing for our day, was trying to "do it all" herself. As amazing a job as she could have done, she wanted to be able to enjoy the day without worrying about this and that. Enter Linda Gray! After choosing Linda as our coordinator, she immediately opened her beautiful home on Alamitos Bay to us, having us over for sweets and lemonade to go through our "wish list." From the start, she was like a friend who only wanted the best for us and our wedding day. We came to Linda with a general concept of a "nautical" theme (to match with the Queen Mary) and lots of ideas for how to decorate, but we didn't have all the details hammered out. In our first meeting with her, Linda asked us some questions to get an idea of our personal story and started helping us work through the plan for our wedding day! We already had some vendors picked out (DJ, photographer), but where we had missing pieces, Linda always had a highly qualified person to fill in. The florist she works with created absolutely stunning centerpieces and flowers for our ceremony, guided by Linda's suggestions. She worked with the ideas my mother had to make the Royal Salon (our reception site on the QM) truly worthy of royalty! Despite what any negative review on this site might say, Linda does her best (and trust me when I say her best is awesome) to work within the budget you have. People who state otherwise don't realize quality doesn't come cheap! In planning with my mother, Linda provided input here and there to create a beautiful and memorable day for us. The day of the wedding, my mother was able to bask in the experience of her son and his partner celebrating their marriage instead of worrying about whether things were set up properly or people were where they were supposed to be. To some (overly dramatic reviewers on this site), Linda may come across as a bit forceful, but this is actually a reflection of her passion for the work she does and her dedication to your wedding being its very best. What I haven't mentioned is that, at least if you have your wedding on the Queen Mary, EVERYONE knows Linda Gray, and they respect her. This goes a long way in making sure things go absolutely seamlessly on the wedding day. She also set up the favor table (which my mom put lots of work into) EXACTLY as my mom had requested. Some examples to show Linda's creativity and ability to improvise: when our cake was delivered on the wedding day, there was no "topper" to the cake, as this was a detail my husband and I had overlooked. Linda took red roses from our ceremony flowers and beautifully decorated the cake. Another example: since we are a same sex couple, we had originally decided not to do a bouquet toss. On the wedding day, when we realized this would be an important "event" for our single lady friends, Linda improvised and grabbed some arranged flowers from our cocktail hour to fill in! Linda is wonderful and has become like family to us over the past several months. No one will do your wedding better than her!

How can I possibly put into words how incredible it was to work with Marni?…read more Marni was our wedding planner for our July 2026 wedding, and she was an absolute godsend. Operationally, she kept every ball in the air without ever seeming stressed. Her vendor recommendations alone were worth their weight in gold. Every partner she suggested was excellent, clearly vetted, and a great fit for what we wanted, and her relationships with them often meant preferred rates we never would have gotten on our own. She essentially paid for herself. And when we hit decision fatigue (which happens more than you'd think), she knew exactly how to help us cut through it. We genuinely looked forward to our calls with her, and her follow-up meant nothing ever got lost in the shuffle. Planning a wedding with her felt less like a job and more like working with a friend who happens to be scarily organized. On the day itself, she was a rockstar. The entire day went off without a hitch, and I know that's because she was quietly solving problems and keeping every vendor on schedule so we never had to think about any of it. We just got to enjoy our wedding. We cannot say enough good things about Marni and her team. 6/5 stars.

We hired So Smitten to help plan and coordinate our wedding in October. For months now everyone has…read morebeen telling us that we had the best wedding they've ever been to. It was all thanks to Megan and Marni and the whole So Smitten team. They are incredible. When we first met with So Smitten, Megan walked us through a massive planning document that addressed every component of a wedding. There were so many little things that I would never think about. Their organization blew me out of the water, I immediately knew the So Smitten team would be a great match for us. When we started planning, my wife and I had a very abstract idea of what we wanted. Megan and Marni took our idea and ran with it. They took our really rough vision and perfected it. It was amazing to see the plan evolve during our regular zoom calls. We were also shocked to see that they took notes on EVERYTHING! There were so many little things we mentioned once and forgot about that, months later, found their way into the plan. They also kept us on track through the whole process. They would make a to do list for us at the end of every meeting of what we we need to do and when we need to do it by. That really removed a lot of stress from our lives. The So Smitten team has so many connections for: Photographers, Videographers, DJs, Bands, Flowers, Design, Rentals, everything you need. They made it really easy compare vendors and find the ones that we liked to work with. Later, when all our vendors were trying to check in with us in the weeks leading to the wedding, Megan and Marni took on a bunch of the meetings and contract stuff for us. That removed so much of our stress and let us we could worry about getting our family and friends to the event. Letting them take on all the contracts and negotiations also ended up helping us save about 3-4x the amount we paid So Smitten by finding different alternatives for power, DJs, etc. Leading into the wedding everyone told me to just relax WHEN things go wrong and let the planners and coordinators handle it. Megan and her team were so on top of things that we didn't even notice any issues coming up. My wife and I kept joking "Ok, when is this big issue going to finally arise?" It never really did. At least not to our knowledge. Megan, Marni and the So Smitten team are incredible. We are recommending them to everyone. They took out ALL the stress from wedding planning. I really have no idea how I would have handled it if we didn't find So Smitten!

Jenny absolutely nailed the planning and execution of our wedding day!! We are forever thankful…read morethat we chose her to be our wedding planner, and people are still telling us how amazing our wedding was! We started planning in late 2019 for an October 2020 wedding, but we all know how that story ended. Our wedding date was changed to October 2021, but Jenny maintained contact with us and continued planning throughout the pandemic. She worked tirelessly to make sure every single detail was perfect and exactly as we wanted it to be. She also offered her own personal, creative touches, many of which we used in our wedding design. Jenny was there for us at every venue tour and every vendor meeting to support and guide us through the complex and sometimes overwhelming process of planning a modern wedding. She even sent a beautiful gift to our house on our originally planned wedding date to cheer us up! Her hard work and support didn't end on the day of our wedding, as she and her team made sure our wedding was as special and as memorable as possible.

Abby is an absolute rockstar wedding planner! Where do we even start? From our very first call with…read moreAbby, we knew she was different. She wasn't just trying to sell us a package - she genuinely wanted to get to know us as a couple, our story, and the kind of vibe we wanted our wedding to have. That first impression stuck with us. Over the next two years of planning, Abby and her team brought our ideas to life and helped to make our dream wedding a reality. Design: We told Abby we wanted an "East Meets West" theme that blended our cultures in a way that felt modern and elegant, a tough balance that could've easily come off as cheesy in if executed poorly. But Abby nailed it of course, her design sense is unreal. From color palettes and floral choices to the way she tied together modern décor with cultural elements, everything was cohesive and elevated. She has an incredible eye for detail and always found creative, out-of-the-box ways to make our ideas work. The end result was a wedding that felt truly felt like us! Communication: Throughout the entire process, Abby and her team were consistently on top of communication. She kept us updated between meetings, sent friendly reminders, and made sure we were always aligned on next steps. It's easy for things to slip through the cracks when planning something this big, but Abby kept everything organized and stress-free. We never once felt out of the loop, she was always calm, professional, and genuinely fun to talk to. Vendor Management: Abby's vendor management skills are next level. She has deep connections and knows everyone in the wedding world. When we needed vendors for flowers, desserts, or décor, she already had a curated list of the best options with pros and cons ready for us. Some of our vendors were booked more than a year in advance, but Abby and her team were always on top of follow-ups, contracts, and logistics. By the time the big day arrived, every vendor was perfectly coordinated. It really felt like we had assembled the Avengers of wedding vendors! Working Style: We can't say enough about how enjoyable it was to work with Abby and her team. They're so friendly, positive, and genuinely care about their couples. You can tell they love what they do and that they actually enjoy working together - it felt like they were more of friends than coworkers. Whenever unexpected hiccups came up (and they always do in wedding planning), Abby handled them with grace and a sense of humor. She's done hundreds of weddings, so she always had the experience to guide us to make informed decisions. It was so fun working with the entire team and it made the stressful process of wedding planning feel less stressful. Execution: This is where Abby and her team truly shine. Planning is one thing, but executing flawlessly is another and they did it all seamlessly. From coordinating vendors to keeping our timeline on track, they were everywhere and nowhere all at once, putting out fires behind the scenes before we even knew they existed. The day flowed perfectly. At the end of the night, we were blown away to see how they had already packed up all our belongings, made sure our ride was ready, and tied up every little loose end without us lifting a finger. That level of thoughtfulness really showed how much they care. Budget & Financial Management: The truth is weddings are expensive, and it's easy for costs to spiral if you're not careful. Abby was phenomenal at keeping everything organized and transparent. She tracked every expense, set reminders for upcoming milestone payments for vendors, and even handled tipping for all our vendors so we didn't have to stress about it on the big day. What really stood out was her honesty and foresight -- anytime a decision could push us beyond our budget, she proactively flagged it and walked us through the financial trade-offs before we committed. Thanks to her meticulous tracking and planning, there were zero surprises at the end. Everything was clearly outlined and accounted for, which gave us complete peace of mind. In short, Abby and her team are the best in the business. They bring design expertise, organization, and heart to every step of the process. You'll see what we mean once you have the first introductory call with her. She's the kind of planner who truly loves what she does, doesn't settle for anything less than perfect, and it shows in every detail. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a top class wedding planner!
