Guest table
Johanna L.

Marisa at Ghost Planners was the month-of coordinator for our wedding reception in May 2017 and I am so appreciative of the hard work she put in leading up to, and on, our big day. Marisa worked with me to execute my vision of a garden reception at a private venue. We had 13+ vendors come in to service the event, and Marisa managed all the moving parts with ease. She ran our timeline, and was in charge of the entire event setup and breakdown including decor, table settings, etc. She referred me to our DJ, Kevin, who worked well with Marisa throughout the evening to make our reception run smoothly. Together, they were an unstoppable team even when we have to adjust our timeline a couple times when we got behind schedule. The guests didn't even notice! I can't say enough how happy i am with our wedding day memories, and it wouldn't have happened without Marisa.

Signature drink displays

Marisa was the catering sales manager at our wedding venue in the fall of 2015. I liked her immediately for her active listening in what was important to me and my now-husband and parents and she was a huge factor in our choice to book that hotel, knowing we'd be working with her. I never felt pressure from her to spend more than we were willing or to include/omit aspects of the reception because of current trends or expectations. She was there to help us fill in the gaps of what we were severely lacking as far as wedding planning, but also to make it feel manageable--a plus for any bride-to-be. My schedule wasn't very flexible or conducive to meetings with her, but she successfully made every effort to get us all in the same room and on time, according to a timeline for completing everything. Leading up to the wedding, she was honest with me in communications with some of my less-than-stellar vendors and even helped me to save money and book more feasible options for decor as the day got closer. I really appreciated having someone on my side who could give me an impartial opinion as a professional. She helped me to arrange my one thousand origami cranes for display at the reception as well. The day of the wedding, she surprised us with little touches--sending up treats for me and my bridal party and adding extra touches to my decor such as gold chargers to spruce up the tables, to re-printing descriptions of our signature drinks that were haphazardly put together last minute. When I arrived at the hotel before the reception, she personally brought up a plate of our hors d'ouevres to my parents' suite so that I wouldn't miss out and could have a moment before the fun chaos of it all. During the reception, she was the definition of a ghost planner--her presence was felt from the fluidity of the event, even if I didn't see her in action. She intervened when needed as far as keeping the night on track but never made me feel rushed. We were luckily enough to see her the day after the wedding to personally thank her again. As she had already moved on to her next events and was extremely busy, we appreciated her taking the time to say bye to us. One regret I have from my wedding day is not having a professional photo with her because she was beyond instrumental in keeping me sane, keeping everything in line, and making our reception such a success. She went above and beyond throughout the whole process when I would have been satisfied if she had just done her basic job duties, highlighting her dedication to any event's success.

Toast to Marisa!

Marisa was the wedding coordinator for our July 2018 wedding. She was organized, helpful, and consistently came through for us when we came to her with a crisis. Not enough name cards a week before the wedding? A box showed up on our doorstep the next day. Dress unexpectedly wrinkly a couple hours before walking down the isle? Marisa was there with a steamer while directing the reception venue setup. She consistently wet above and beyond, and I recommend her highly to anyone trying to plan a large event!

Our timeline was executed perfectly and had a great flow throughout our entire wedding day.

I went to a wedding catered by this company. The food was meh and the wait time for the bar was ridiculous.

This past weekend, we collaborated on a birthday party in Redwood City. From the first phone call…read moreto the final goodbye, Andrea has been one of the kindest people we have ever worked with. She makes you feel like you have known her for years. Clear and concise with what she wants, prompt responses, and a whole lot of fun. But after seeing her the event come to life, it was like we were transported into another universe. She has vision and drive. Hopefully this will not be the last time we work together!

If you're looking for a planner who brings not only a vision to life but infuses it with soul,…read moreheart, precision, and grace--look no further than Andrea of Mia Emma Love Events. I recently had the absolute pleasure of working alongside Andrea for an extravagant, Wicked-themed birthday celebration at the Grand Bay Hotel in San Francisco. As a DJ, I've been part of my fair share of complex productions--but this event? This one had layers. We're talking immersive design, multiple performances, theatrical moments, choreographed timing, lighting cues, and the kind of attention to detail that would make Broadway stage managers sweat. And yet--through every twist, change, last-minute curveball, and behind-the-scenes chaos--Andrea stayed calm, composed, and genuinely joyful. That smile never left her face. It wasn't just impressive; it was inspiring. What struck me most was Andrea's emotional intelligence and natural leadership. She wasn't just checking off a list--she was reading the room, checking in on vendors, comforting the family, and still had the foresight to ensure every beat of the evening landed with intention. For us as DJs, a successful event relies heavily on the planner's clarity, timing, and communication. Andrea excelled at all three. Her cues were crystal clear, her flexibility never compromised the bigger picture, and her collaboration felt seamless. It's rare to find someone who can hold both the creative and logistical sides of event production in perfect harmony. Andrea is that rare gem. And beyond the work, there's a real human connection there--a warmth that draws people in, makes vendors want to go above and beyond, and creates the kind of synergy that guests can feel, even if they don't see it. After this event, I'm not only grateful--I'm inspired. I genuinely hope to work with Andrea and Mia Emma Love Events more in the future. I believe that if we continue to collaborate, we could create experiences that are unforgettable, meaningful, and consistently next-level. Andrea, thank you for the trust, the kindness, the professionalism, and for being exactly the kind of event partner every creative hopes for. I'm honored to have been a part of this one--and I'm already looking forward to the next. With deep appreciation, DJ Brandon Beach

It's long overdue, but I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude to Rebecca and her team for…read morebringing my wedding vision to life one year ago 3.21.24. On the day of my wedding, the reception setup was exactly as I had imagined--floating candles and my favorite flowers, baby's breath, creating a magical forest-inspired atmosphere. There was a small hiccup when my wedding cake arrived--it looked beautiful, but the color palette wasn't quite what I had envisioned unfortunately. However, Rebecca worked her magic with her own dried flowers, and I ended up with a completely new cake that was a much better match for the theme. It feels like it was just yesterday, even though it's been a year. Thank you again for making my dream wedding a reality!

All I have to say is I wouldn't have survived wedding planning or or wedding day without Rebecca…read moreand her team. Rebecca was absolutely amazing helping me plan everything, thinking of things that I never would have thought of, helping me to deal with last-minute stressors, and managing our day perfectly. So many people came up to me to tell me how awesome our wedding planner was, and how well-run everything was at our wedding. We are SO appreciative. She knows all the other vendors in the area, and had fantastic suggestions for who we used. She also knew our venue really well, so helped us iron out all the little details that needed to be figured out. I don't think I realized how much goes into planning a wedding before I planned my own wedding, and there's no way we could have done it without Rebecca! I was really stressed before our wedding with all of the last minute prep, and Rebecca knew exactly what needed to happen and helped me feel so taken care of. The day of the wedding I literally didn't worry about anything because her team was so on top of it, we had a perfect magical day!
