Where do I begin? Leora from Best Bride truly is THE BEST. Our wedding was set for May 24th, 2020…read more Everything was already planned. But of course, the pandemic hit and everything changed and nothing would be the same. Leora quickly took action, lifted our spirits and made sure that no matter what, we'd still be getting married on that date. There's no possible way to fully express my appreciation for Best Bride on our journey down the aisle. THANK YOU for putting us before anything else during those 2 weeks of planning our new wedding. You helped us completely transform my grandmother's home in Beverly Hills into the most magical wedding ceremony in a matter of 2 weeks. Even though our initial wedding dreams completely shifted, somehow this became even more meaningful for us. We were surrounded by our closest friends and family who witnessed our gorgeous Chuppah and our truly sentimental ceremony. Not only were we completely delighted by everything as is but our wedding even received tons of attention and recognition from several amazing media outlets and publications, including GRACE ORMANDE! Who could have ever dreamt of this?! Leora has an incredible team of planners, I felt so supported, so cared for. Every single one of the Best Bride staff are so professional and knowledgeable. They really know their stuff and most importantly care and do it with love, passion and patience. We hope to have a big celebration one day too when things feel a little more certain, and of course our only wish is for Leora from Best Bride and her team to help plan it for us. Thank you Leora for encouraging us to move forward in our lives and helping it be a beautiful start!

We were less than 8 weeks from our wedding date, without a venue, with more than 150 Save the Dates sent out, and uncertain if we would even be able to have any kind of ceremony in the midst of a pandemic, let alone whether that ceremony would put our family and closest friends at risk. What Best Bride did for us in such a short amount of time was truly remarkable! While we had to significantly cut down our guest count Leora made sure that every possible Covid precaution was taken to keep our family and loved ones safe while still giving us a day more magical than we ever dreamed of. Leora was also so good at calming me down during the morning stress of the day and I can't thank her enough for that! I've since recommended Leora to my best friend who also was so grateful to have her plan her dream wedding. If you're not sure where to start or who to go with choose Leora because you will not regret it!

The decision to hire this company is a decision that my husband and I will have to live with for…read morethe rest of our lives. We hired them for month of planning and for our rentals. They state they have a 3-day response time for emails, but some of our emails took them 10 days to respond to. By the end, we had to beg them to respond to our emails because we were running out of time. On the day they ignored explicit instructions from us, did not execute tasks they told us they would, and even dismissed workers early. They were rude to us and our families on our wedding day. The vendors they recommended to us were unprofessional, were drinking at our wedding, and also did not follow basic instructions. After the wedding they did not immediately refund our deposit. Weeks later, they claimed that several items were broken and lost, all adding up to the exact amount of the deposit. Then they claimed that they would refund us because our caterer had agreed to pay for the items. They eventually did pay us only after repeated attempts to recover the deposit. Not only did we provide written instructions asking them to inventory items before leaving the site, this is also common practice for the day of coordinator. Our wedding turned out beautiful in spite of this company and we are so grateful to some of our other vendors, our friends and family.

He was a true professional as MC and DJ for our ceremony and wedding reception. Jimmy has a keen eye on the vibe of everything going on and knew exactly how to work the crowd and keep the energy high. We also used his team for Month of Coordination and Photo Booth. We cannot say enough good things about April as our Coordinator and the support she provided. The team went above and beyond expectations, were prepared for anything that happened, and gave us such great guidance leading up our big day. Our wedding went just as we imagined it and so much of it was thanks to Jimmy and his team! With his experience, he was able to make anything we could think of happen, no hesitation. Absolutely no question, highly recommend Jimmy for any event needs!!

We are so thankful to have Jimmy as our MC for our wedding a few months back. Full disclosure, we…read morefirst experienced Jimmy as an MC back when he was hired for another friend's wedding and we felt he did an absolute amazing job. He was attentive, funny, lighthearted, and welcoming during the entirety of the wedding, and we just knew we wanted an individual such as that for our wedding. In the lead-up to our big day, JK's guidance was refreshing and invaluable. He gave experience, broke down details of our reception schedule, and provided ideas to personalize our reception that best fit the goals of our wedding. As a bonus he is fluent in Korean, so alot of our guests who don't necessarily speak english as their first language benefited from his translation during our reception. All our guests had such a great time, and he was such a natural during the event, a lot of our friends thought he was a member of our family haha. Without a doubt, JK is the person to book if you want a smooth event that feels inviting and fun for your attendees. Don't hesitate and reach out to JK for any event you have planned!

So we reached out to Emily with around 1-2 weeks before our target date. After we paid the initial fees ($250 for the ceremony + another $250 for the confidential wedding license), she set up a phone call to get to know us and helped with the details such as where it'd be, when, and if we wanted to say our own vows. My wife and I are pretty shy, so she just had us repeat the vows, which helped a lot with my anxiety. Emily was very friendly, professional, and very easy to work with. I highly recommend!

One Darling Day was by far my first choice when we started planning our wedding. I had followed her…read moreaccount on Instagram for some time before we were engaged and I loved how original, eclectic and intimate all of Claudia's weddings looked. We booked her early-she was our first vendor booked-which was the best call as I loved having someone I could go to to help me verify vendors, suggest design options, and answer other random planning questions throughout my 1 1/2 year-long engagement. Most notably was how Claudia handled the extreme weather that caused us to have to change venues, 2 days before our wedding. She very nimbly helped me translate our existing layout and communicate our decisions and preferences to the venue. I'm so thankful that she orchestrated an outdoor ceremony, which was my goal, and designed the most beautiful interpretation of my dream in a completely new space. Finally, Claudia was kind and lighthearted throughout the entire process, but has exactly the type of direct forward, take-charge manner that is so needed when coordinating a wedding! Claudia-thank you for everything! I already miss working with you!

On the wedding day itself, her & her team handled everything seamlessly, so we didn't have to worry about a single thing. The day goes by in the blink of an eye, and MJ made sure we actually enjoyed it--she made sure we ate, had floss ready before photos, and even reminded us to get a photobooth picture together as a couple (something we definitely would've missed and regretted without her!). If you want a planner you can trust with GREAT instincts, who will execute your vision flawlessly and take care of even the little things you'd never think of--GO WITH MJ & BLUSH EVENTS. You'll thank yourself later!

We still can't believe how perfect the day was, and it's all thanks to MJ! She is one of the most efficient, dedicated, and caring people we've ever met, and we feel so lucky to have been able to work with her. MJ's attention to detail is truly remarkable (even to the point of tucking in my groom's shirt before every dance!), and her keen eye for design and decor made all the difference. We were blown away by how beautiful the ceremony lawn and reception ballroom turned out to be - our jaws literally dropped when we walked in! You can feel how much love and effort MJ puts into everything she does, going above and beyond to bring our vision to life. We are forever grateful for the hard work MJ put in to make our day so magical! We cannot recommend MJ enough for any event planning!

He started with a meeting a couple weeks before the wedding to go over every detail with us and our planner, to make sure everyone was on the same page with how the day would go.

He also knows how to work with a crowd, getting guests excited and creating an awesome, positive fun vibe. It goes without saying he was also super easy to work with, very communicative. Literally had absolutely no issues and my guests all commented on how great he was. Highly recommend working with James for any event. You will definitely not regret it.

Just wanted to sing praises for the amazing support Alexis provided for our wedding dinner at Bar…read moreChelou. My husband and I wanted to plan something of a wedding celebration dinner, and we knew we needed some help because we live on the other side of the country and also none of our family and friends were available to provide much support. JM Events came recommended to me by my photographer who had been in the wedding industry for over a decade. I set up a call with Lilian and we went over my vision for what kind of event I was envisioning and she discussed what kinds of services JME could provide for our event and also shared that they had planned and coordinated similar type events in the recent past. After our call, I also had meetings with other event coordination companies and it was clear to me that JM Events would be the best fit for us as they seemed the most competent and professional. I also liked that JM Events was based nearby our venue. Two months ahead of the event, Alexis began working with us. We tossed around a lot of high-level ideas we were considering and Alexis provided insight on whether or not or how they would work within the constraints of our venue and timeline. Alexis and Lilian also had vendor recs at the ready at different price points whenever we needed them as well. Over time we narrowed down which ideas we wanted at our wedding and Alexis provided invaluable insight on wedding logistics and restaurant service ops that we should consider in our planning. She attended our venue walkthrough with us so that we could begin to visualize placement for different "stations" at our wedding and also served as our advocate with the various vendors we had hired. She also checked in with us and the vendors over increments in time so that we met all of our venue deadlines and to ensure that all of the vendors were in lockstep with what we were planning.  The week of the event, Alexis worked to make sure to send out event confirmations with all of our vendors so that each vendor was prepared to arrive on time and any accommodation our vendors needed were provided. This was so impressive that my make-up artist asked me where I had found Alexis! Alexis and Lillian were consummate professionals through and through, I felt supported the entire time and any question I had was met with a very considered response that only a very experienced events planning professional could provide.  Our wedding celebration was one of the best days of both my husband and my lives. We also received so many compliments on our event, like "best wedding ever" and "can I copy your entire wedding?" I was on cloud nine the whole night and in watching some of my friend's video footage I saw Alexis working in the background making sure that our timeline was executed exactly as planned.  I know certainly that without JME and Alexis, our night would not have went off as seamlessly as it did and I am so grateful for JME and their team. I am already plotting on when I can plan another party and hire JME :)

Lilian and her team are TRULY amazing. I know everybody says that, but I hope that really goes to…read moreshow the truth as to how incredible they are. My (then) boyfriend and I got engaged in February 2021, and I always knew I'd want a slightly longer engagement, just to push things out so I'd have more time to decide on what I wanted and how I wanted it. From the start, however, we already knew we wanted to work with Lilian and her team. Given that I had more time, somewhat wanted the challenge of planning a wedding, and felt pretty prepared, we opted for the month-of services. Once we started working with Lilian, our wedding-planning life honestly became sooo much easier. I feel like we had a pretty good idea and plan for everything we needed, yet, Lilian still, easily, made things even better. There were so many things we didn't know we needed. She was so thorough, organized, and thoughtful and knowing she and her team would be by our side to finalize the details and (basically) walk us down the aisle, really put us at ease. Her communication was spot on - not just with us, but with our vendors, and with handling any (not unexpected) last minute changes. She was so easy to reach and communicate with, and was always so patient and efficient. She knew what we wanted, what we needed, and offered suggestions along the way. On our big day, her team was just as great - from the pre-wedding set up, making sure our bridal party had everything we needed, even helping us order boba - Lilian had everything all thought out. She checked in with us throughout the busy night, and helped wrap things up seamlessly. We truly couldn't imagine a more perfect day, and would not have had it any other way. I'd recommend her to everybody I know - for any event, big or small! Thank you JME team!

Here's what you need to know: 1) She's literally a BADASS! She shows up to your pre-planning stages (e.g., table setting/vision board/video calls if you're concerned) and handles it like a BOSS! Grace gets things done with finesse. I've seen it and TRUST ME, you want Grace to be by your side. 2) Intentional & Caring. My wife and I remember sharing our vision and Grace shocked us with how she brought it all to life. From the vision board, to the staging, and the final look. I'm not usually not a cryer but man.... Grace really got me emotional all the way through 3) She's family. TRUST ME when I say this that at the end of it, you will feel that Grace is literally part of your family. She takes care of you like her little sibling from standing in my view to remind me to eat, capturing candid moments from a far like a proud sister, and HYPING ME all the way. If Grace isn't your wedding planner then there's something wrong. You need her because I now consider Grace as family after this wedding because her actions, words, and kindness shows it all. She truly cares about you

I had the pleasure of working directly with Nira and Karly, while planning my fairytale wedding in Santorini, Greece. They planned the most beautiful destination wedding for us and I never doubted them for a second through the entire process. They handled absolutely everything for me, from helping me find my perfect wedding dress to surprising us with a kick ass Firework show on our very last day in Greece. They made it possible to truly enjoy the entire wedding planning process, so that I would not have to stress at all. Not only were they the easiest people to work with, but they absolutely NAILED everything I threw at them and SO much more! Their attention to detail, creativity, vision, organization and professionalism is definitely what I loved about them the most! They curated an entire weekend for my wedding party to the tee, from our magical rehearsal dinner on the edge of a cliff in Oia, Santorini. To sailing through the Mediterranean on the most epic catamaran, and obviously making our special day a day that we will never forget! The list goes on and on! All I can say, is that Justin and myself are so thankful to have met such amazing girls like Nira and Karly and will continue to recommend them as planners to everyone that we know!! Love you!!! xx J & T
