    TLDR; 10/10 BOOK them! We booked Hadley and Ren for a month of coordination services and as our florist for our wedding. I highly recommend booking them for both services! I had a Zoom meeting to get to know them and for a consultation. Right off the bat, I was impressed with their professionalism, warm attitude, and attention to detail. She showed me all the templates that they use to keep the wedding process on track. The type-A in me LOVED that! After booking, our trust in them grew and I felt drawn to book them for florals as well (so glad we did not DIY those haha). The floral pitch deck they presented was beautiful, and Cynthia was receptive to our Pinterest inspiration & feedback, which was so appreciated! I was stressed about one to two months before the wedding, and Tiffany got me back on track! I cannot thank her enough for her support, grace, questions, timeline help, and list of what to follow up on. Just what you want in a wedding coordinator! A great weight was lifted off me knowing Tiffany and her team were there to be mindful of time and execute the vision. I loved the fact that none of my family had to bear the stress of trying to coordinate more than they already needed to! When it came to the rehearsal and actual wedding day, Tiffany blew us away with her composure and professionalism. We almost started to run a bit behind on our timeline due to some of the wedding party running late, but you wouldn't have known it since she made up the time and got us on schedule! If problems had happened during my wedding, I wouldn't have known about it since it was handled behind the scenes with this amazing team! They are sweet, professional, and most importantly, good at what they do. I already recommended them to friends who are recently engaged. The best in the business! Thank you for the perfect day!

    If you want a wedding planner who will completely elevate your vision while removing every ounce of stress, hire Cynthia. Hiring her as our full-time wedding planner (from initial design to final execution and day-of coordination) was hands-down the best decision we made. As a Type B bride who often sent delayed or vague responses (and planning a destination wedding), I was entirely dependent on Cynthia. She is fiercely organized, deeply knowledgeable, and became my ultimate voice of reason in an industry that can feel incredibly overwhelming. Her industry experience and partnership proved absolutely invaluable. Cynthia has an incredible network of connections, allowing her to source vendors that either fit perfectly within a reasonable budget or provided way more value than we ever expected. Because of her expertise, our wedding became something far more beautiful and grand than I ever thought was possible for us. Throughout the entire process, she limited my stress entirely. I had so much confidence in her execution that a massive weight was lifted off my shoulders. I truly do not think a wedding would have happened without her! Cynthia has a warm, collaborative, and genuinely patient spirit, and her design eye is unmatched. In addition to designing almost every detail, she handled our floral design from start to finish, from the initial conception to execution and strike. It was beautiful. Her and her team's attention to detail is elite. When some of our signage (the bar menu, welcome table, and memory table signs) arrived and didn't align with our vision, Cynthia's team didn't blink. They stepped in and custom-made the signage themselves to ensure everything was perfect. She was also completely flexible with all of my custom requests, including some special party favors where her team completely over-delivered. We also commissioned a few custom items as well; Cynthia and her team truly can do it all. They even gifted a shadow box of some of the custom details they created for us :') But what truly sets Cynthia apart is her heart. My mom mentioned in passing how much of a BTS fan she is. Knowing how complex that ticketing system is (IYKYK), I didn't think twice about it but Cynthia did. She somehow tracked down two tickets, which allowed me to surprise my mom. It had nothing to do with wedding planning and everything to do with how deeply she cares for her clients. There are probably a million things her team handled behind the scenes with the utmost professional care. I would not hesitate to hire her again for any future event. If you are on the fence, hire her immediately!

    I met Cynthia early on in the wedding planning process, and I am so, so grateful that I did. Cynthia is the calm you need - a safe harbor in the eye of the storm. She kept us on track throughout planning, set realistic expectations (she immediately clocked that our timeline was too ambitious and her suggested adjustments were exactly right), and brought a strong, steady presence that we relied on all the way through the end of our wedding day. She handled stressed-out Vietnamese mothers with such grace, always made sure we had water and food, and somehow managed to fix every hiccup with ease. When I dropped bright pink dragon fruit on my wedding dress and my bustle came undone right before the grand entrance, Cynthia immediately whipped out a wipe and safety pins and had everything fixed in two shakes. Her team was equally incredible - professional, kind, and completely on top of every detail. Hannah kept the photographers on task so we captured all the shots we wanted, and Amanda handled last-minute alcohol runs during the reception to keep the drinks flowing. Even as we added last-minute dress changes and speech requests, Cynthia found a way to make it all happen seamlessly. Cynthia and her team are powerful, compassionate, and truly the best we could have ever worked with. So many other vendors hailed their professionalism! If you're on the fence about hiring them for coordination or florals, do it. The relief you'll feel from being in their warm, extremely capable hands is worth every penny.

    Hiring Hadley and Ren for our florals and day-of coordination was the best decision we made! Kayley took my Pinterest board and vibe, asked great questions to understand my likes and dislike, and used her creative freedom to make the most beautiful arrangements and bouquets. She even created a mock up of our table florals for us at our meeting with Tiffany! On the day of, Tiffany, Hannah, and Mia kept everything perfectly on schedule. I didn't feel a single ounce of stress because I trusted them to get the job done. Thank you, Hannah, for keep me hydrated and making sure I was ok throughout the day! Hadley and Ren team were both highly responsive, incredibly knowledgeable, and so kind. We are so grateful for them!

    Working with Hadley and Ren was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Needless to say I wasn't even considering a planner for our wedding, but I am so glad we did! From the moment I reached out to Cynthia and Angela on Instagram, I felt their personal approach through the screen and I couldn't wait to meet them. From the very beginning, they were incredibly attentive, organized, and genuinely excited to bring our vision to life. Their planning expertise made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, and they always made us feel supported and heard. They even met my grandma through one of our walk throughs, and she was excited to see them on our big day because she loved them so much! They truly blew us away was with the execution of the floral design. The arrangements were beyond stunning - romantic, unique, and completely personalized to fit our style and venue on board the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA. From the ceremony to the reception, every floral touch was elegant and cohesive, and our guests couldn't stop complimenting how beautiful everything looked. Hadley and Ren have an incredible eye for design and a calming presence that's so valuable during the wedding planning process. If you're looking for a team that combines creativity, professionalism and warmth, I can't recommend them enough. They made our day unforgettable!

    I stumbled upon this floral shop when I was at SOCO. The decor and design is absolutely gorgeous!! Not only did the florals draw me in, but I really loved how they had a table to showcase what it would look like for an event/wedding. Their work is absolutely breathtaking. The team is also incredibly kind and talented. I've attached some photos of their work as well. I LOVED all the cool tone neutrals! Beyond obsessed. 10/10 Thank you all!

    Coming from a grooms perspective I felt the same exact way as every other ignorant groom. Thinking we can do it all on our own. Let me tell you you're wrong. You guys need a coordinating team and Hadley and Rens team literally did gods work for our wedding. The entire event went absolutely perfect and they made sure we had nothing to worry about so we could truly enjoy our day. I'm not one to normally write reviews but trust me they deserve every bit of recognition for all of the hard work they put in. If you want to impress all of your friends with a wedding that is perfect down to every little detail and want to make your wedding the most memorable night of your life then book with them! P.S. they're also huge dog people and that's such a green flag

    I have been following Hadley and Ren for a while & long before I got engaged I knew I want them to design my wedding bouquet & florals. When I reached out for my wedding, I was excited to find out that they also started doing wedding planning/coordinating. They made everything less stressful and brought my vision to life. I was able to actually enjoy my wedding day Cynthia and her team really went above and beyond on my wedding day. They even looked out after our dogs as they weren't allowed in the reception area. I'm super grateful for them and if I could have a wedding again I will hire them in a heartbeat Love you guys!

    In the midst of wedding planning, we found our silver lining, Hadley & Ren. We knew from the moment we met them, that it was a match made in heaven. It was the BEST decision we made for ourselves. We couldn't imagine going through this process without them. The services we chose were partial planning with design and florals. If we had found them sooner, we would have done the full planning service. It would have saved us A LOT of money, but so happy to have found them when we did. They are extremely knowledgable and will help guide you when you are feeling overwhelmed and stressed. They cater to your wants and needs and provide you with a TON of options. For example, we needed bread baskets: they sent me 3 different options. All we did was press a link and pay. It saved us so much time! They are also extremely organized with tons of helpful pdfs, excel sheets, and google docs. We relied on these so much. All the vendors were highly impressed with their active communication and thorough planning. Trust me, on a day full of chaos and multiple different people working together, you want someone who can take charge and lead with confidence. They displayed this admirably. And lastly, their attention to detail is out of this world. They were meticulous about bringing our vision to life. We felt like everything we planned on our design deck transpired beautifully on our wedding day. Our wedding felt like a dream and all of our guests were in awe. We are so lucky and honored to have worked with Hadley & Ren. We did not have an ounce of stress on our wedding day. They handled all the hiccups with grace, so that we could be fully present on our wedding day. It was the best day of our lives. Thank you H&R! P.S. They are so funny! We all need some comic relief in times of stressful wedding planning.

    10/10 - Highly recommend H&R for your wedding planning and floral needs! After securing our wedding venue, we reached out to Hadley and Ren for help with both planning and floral design. From our very first meeting, their structured approach and attention to detail immediately put us at ease amidst the otherwise overwhelming planning process. Over the next several months, we had regular check-ins with Cynthia and her team to go over action items, floral designs, and vendor/rental selections. Cynthia made sure we felt confident throughout the planning process, always responding to our questions and requests promptly with care. Not to mention, H&R also has connections with a variety of vendors and suppliers in the industry that can materialize visions into reality. We also had several design meetings with Cynthia in the months leading up to the wedding to revise floral selections and venue layout. H&R took on the bulk of communication with vendors and venue coordinators, which was a huge relief for us. Every concern we had was handled with care and attention to detail. Our wedding day was flawless in terms of execution. Cynthia and her team were quietly working behind the scenes to make sure everything went smoothly--special shoutout to Tiffany and Hailey! We're incredibly grateful for all of H&R's support and feel so lucky to have worked with such a professional and passionate team. We truly cannot recommend them enough!

    Hadley and Ren is a team full of the most caring, detail-oriented, reassuring, and fun people we have ever had the honor of working with for our wedding! From the moment we connected with Cynthia for partial planning service, we felt that we were in very good hands. Over the months leading up to our wedding, Cynthia, Tiffany, and Kayley always checked in with us to ensure we had visibility into every step of our big day. We were provided with frankly PERFECT vendor recommendations that showed how much the H&R team dedicated time and energy to find us the right fits. They provided us with such helpful resources, remained a calm and steady presence throughout the planning process, and never failed to make us feel seen, heard, and appreciated. Tiffany was our day-of coordinator and absolutely knocked it out of the park! She went above and beyond with streamlining communications and timing with our vendors and venue; all the while, she consistently made sure we felt represented in every aspect of our day. Tiffany was the second-opinion we were looking for during the whole process; she is so attentive, encouraging, and empathetic. She's a tremendous reason as to why all the moving parts of our day went so smoothly. We truly cannot fathom our wedding being as wonderful as it was without her dedication, organization, and infectious positivity! The florals and vibes were exactly what we envisioned for our day! The beautiful arrangements were even better in real life and fully complimented our outdoor venue. My bouquet and all the floral components were just what we always imagined them to be: natural, warm, and romantic! So many of our guests commented on how our wedding was one of the most beautiful they've ever experienced. Kayley not only completely hit every mark on our vision board with the florals-she is also the sweetest soul and provided bubbles the day of that made the vibes 100% immaculate! The pacing of our day was impeccable. We didn't feel rushed nor did we feel any lulls. We had plenty of moments that were private and precious, and got to make so many memories with all of our guests, that we wouldn't have changed a single thing about our wedding. Weddings can be overwhelming, and having a solid support system is so vital. Hadley and Ren did that and more for us! The whole team is truly, truly magic. We loved every second with them and can't recommend them enough. We can't wait to attend some H&R weddings of close friends in the near future (not exaggerating, at least 5 couples who attended said, "PLEASE give me your planning team's info!") THANK YOU, so so much, with our whole hearts, for making our dream day come true!

    We had a vision. Hadley and Ren made our dreams come true. It was beautiful, smart, and cute - just like my wife. I only wish they did more than wedding planning. I'll keep dreaming.

    Such a cute and aesthetic little shop! Located in the soco OC mix. I was looking to get a housewarming gift for a friend who loves neutral tones and went with the signature short arrangement which was absolutely perfect! Camille and Kaley were so helpful and sweet. They have beautiful vase arrangements and bouquets. Def recommend if you're looking for a beautiful gift for your loved ones!

    We truly cannot say enough amazing things about the Sugarplum & Co. team. If you're looking for a…read morewedding coordinator or planner, we highly, highly recommend working with this team! We had been engaged for over a year before we really started planning and honestly had no idea where to begin. We had all the basic questions -- How do you set a realistic budget? What do things actually cost? Is the wedding we're envisioning even feasible? We spoke with several planners, and Abby immediately stood out. From our very first conversation, she was incredibly helpful, kind, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us. Even before we officially started working together, there were so many green flags. Choosing Abby and her team was a complete no-brainer. We planned our wedding in under a year, and Abby, Amanda, Kat, and the entire Sugarplum & Co. team were incredible every step of the way. They gave us the tools, resources, guidance, confidence, and reassurance we needed to bring our vision to life. You may know what you want your wedding to look and feel like, but having experts by your side who know what works, what's realistic, and how to bring it all together is invaluable. Their expertise also goes far beyond the creative side of planning. From budgets and vendors to reviewing contracts, asking the right questions, and making sure we were setting ourselves up for success, they were an incredible resource. There are so many things you simply don't know to look for when you've never planned a wedding before, and we always felt like we were in such good hands. Most importantly, they genuinely care. They helped guide us through decisions big and small while always making sure the wedding felt like us. We had so much fun working with them -- from the planning calls and walkthroughs to mock-ups and the wedding weekend itself. With their help, we were able to truly enjoy the process and ultimately bring such a special weekend to life. The Sugarplum & Co. team is knowledgeable, talented, smart, savvy, and genuinely some of the sweetest people to work with. We couldn't have been happier with our experience and would recommend them in a heartbeat. Thank you, Abby, Amanda, Kat, and the entire Sugarplum & Co. team, for helping us create such an incredible and unforgettable wedding weekend. We are forever grateful! xo

    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!

You may refer to this place as Celebrations, but it's really Dominico's place. Dominico had a vision for this place, and this place represents his vision for the ideal restaurant. This is a supper club from a calmer, more centered time. Red's the color of the day here, and it's a cool and witty red, the color of crushed velvet and drunken aging starlets. Dominico has gone to some trouble to make the place sweet and inviting without being stuffy. The portions are large here. Dominico believes strongly in his chef, and his chef love short ribs, so that's what I had. There was some depth of flavor in them, but there were just a little fatty for my personal taste. That is not a reflection of the cook or the restaurant; I simply don't love short rib as much as some people do, But I don't regret trying it. Anyway, although the food is good to very good, and the ambiance is exquisite, none of that is the reason you're coming to Dominico's. The reason you're coming to Dominico's, is because the owner himself will seat you and chat you up, and that he'll get on stage with his musician buddies, and he'll sing your favorite lounge lizard hits from the 1950s,'60s, and '70s. Now you're not here because Dominico has the best singing voice in all of Orange County. You are here because Dominico clearly loves his beautiful restaurant, and he loves his beautiful food, and he loves to sing for you. And the effect, as you're drinking red wine and sitting with your lovely date, is absolutely sublime. This is an Italian restaurant, serving American style portions, where the owner is singing love songs in Spanish from the 1970s. This place is absurdly charming, and only the prissiest of the purists could not love it dearly.

Everyone kept telling me that planning a wedding was going to be a really stressful time, but to be completely honest, the only thing I was stressed about the entire time was our welcome dinner (which was the only event we didn't hire Heather for). The day of the wedding went smoother than I could have ever dreamed of, and I never had to think about anything other than feeling/looking my best and enjoying the most magical night. I promise all of you amazing brides that you will be SO happy with your decision if you go with LVL. Thank you so, so much Heather!

She cherry picks what she wants people to see. I'm thankful that yelp supports honest reviews.

    I met with several planners in OC before hiring Pure Lavish. The first time I met with Samantha, I…read moreknew instantly that she was going to take the best care of me and execute my dream wedding. I told her my fiancé is paralyzed and this will need to be an ADA/wheelchair accessible wedding. To some planners, this seemed like a challenge, but to Samantha, she was excited and more than happy to accommodate our needs. From day one, Samantha put our emotions, safety, and accessibility first. Her empathy and compassion were truly commendable and made the entire experience easy and comfortable. She leads with grace, poise, and above all, professionalism. Samantha is extremely reputable and reliable in the wedding industry and it's clear why when you see her put on an event. My wedding was truly a dream come true. It was everything I could've wanted and more. Samantha steered me in the right direction and I never felt pressured to make a decision that I was not comfortable with. Samantha honored our budget and presented cost effective options for every decision. The day of the wedding was the easiest, most peaceful day of my life! Samantha and Brayden from Pure Lavish were by my side every step of the way. I didn't look at a clock the entire day! Brayden was a true girls girl and companion the day of helping me get ready in my bridal suite. Her sense of humor, kindness, and loyalty was unwavering. If something went wrong, I had no idea as Brayden's professionalism and calmness took care of it. She was absolutely incredible. Thank you Pure Lavish for giving me the happiest day of my life filled with unconditional love and support. Thank you to Samantha... a true friend for life. I am so grateful and appreciative for Pure Lavish!

    This review is so incredibly overdue - where do I even BEGIN?! I'm sitting here with tears in my…read moreeyes thinking not only about how perfect our day was but how truly incredible the women of Pure Lavish are. Moral of this story: do NOT sleep on Pure Lavish. Sign with them immediately - your research ends here. Buckle up for our story... Looking for guidance while wedding planning is SO stressful - it's hard to know where to start, especially planning a destination wedding (we live in Northern CA). We had our venue and our photographer but nothing else, so, being the researcher I am, I hopped on Google and began searching for "best planners in Orange County." I found a few options, Pure Lavish included, and started submitting inquiries. I wasn't sure about what kind of support we needed. I think when you start planning, you're like "I can do everything myself and only need minimal support." I was SO wrong - more to come on that. Pure Lavish stood out immediately. Carrie, the owner of PL, was the one to respond to my inquiry with a customized, non-robotic, hilarious email that acknowledged my silly inquiry about not knowing what I needed. That interaction was a huge selling point for me. She quickly set me up with one of PL's planners, Samantha. To say that I clicked with Sam would be the understatement of the century. Her bubbly energy and openness made me feel like I was talking to an old friend. She was so knowledgeable and so helpful in answering my questions about what kind of support we needed. In my original budget, I didn't plan on including a wedding planner, but I quickly realized just how important it was to have an expert as our guide along the way, as well as a creative lens to help with design. We signed with PL almost immediately after and didn't think twice. Over the next few months, it became clear just how well-connected PL is in Orange County. I had a pretty clear vision with a pre-defined budget that Sam knew exactly how to support. She identified all of the right vendors for what we were looking for and what our desired spend was for each part of the wedding. I ended up not doing anything myself and outsourcing everything because we loved all of the vendors so much. The network that PL brings to the relationship is probably one of the biggest considerations you should make as a bride. My mom and I made a few trips down to Southern CA to do live planning, select rentals, tastings, etc - it was SO awesome to see Sam in her element and to experience vendor relationships live. PL has such a stellar reputation in Orange County - that was abundantly clear every time we met someone new that we were working with. No trip to OC will ever be complete without seeing Sam! The time, energy, and excitement that Sam contributed to our wedding were truly incomparable. Her design board and ideas based on my feedback were absolutely perfect. We incorporated 100% of her ideas into our day and made our guests feel so special with all of the personalized recommendations that she made. The attention to detail, the command of the wedding party to keep things in line, and the ridiculous organization skills that she possesses are what defined the overall success of the weekend. On wedding day, the PL team showed up in FULL FORCE. We were so honored to have Carrie there to support us, and our bridal concierge Caroline was the definition of "being in the right place at the right time." A MIND READER! The worst part of the day was my shoe heel breaking (not bad, right?) and Caroline somehow crafted a clay pearl to match the ones on the broken heel. Absolutely brilliant. The PL team has become family. I won't ever be able to thank them enough for making our day the most wonderful day of our lives! I'll also never get sick of the regular flow of compliments that we're still getting 9 months later.... THANK YOU PURE LAVISH!

We found the Say I Do to Details team online and I was highly impressed by their good reviews. Their planning exceeded my expectations. From being always available, to providing suggestions and insight into timeline, and coordinating everything so well the day of, their team is simply the best. I admire their passion for planning and it was so incredible working with them. I worked with Paola and Sandra directly and Sandra was there day of. Paola and Sandra are very experienced, professional, and kind. Both were actively involved in the planning process. I'm extremely type A and it's hard for me to trust people to take over (especially when I knew it was one of the most important days in my life) and take on tasks, but I trusted them 100%. To start off, they have a lot of experience working at Terannea, which made things a lot easier for us and helped things run smoothly. Moreover, the vendors I selected knew of Paola and Sandra and their team and I admired their good reputation in the wedding industry. Knowing what I know now, it would have been easier for me to have hired them as full on planning instead of day of coordination just because they're so good at what they do that I really trust every decision they make. I keep getting comments from my family and friends that the wedding was one of the best they've been to. Moreover I've received many comments specifically from my bridal party and close family about the incredible planning team keeping the day so smooth and on track. There's a trend on social media about "wedding regrets" and my husband and I keep saying to eachother thankfully that we have zero regrets. Every vendor was amazing and the planning team really went above and beyond what was asked of them and for that I'm forever grateful. I appreciate that the team asked us what 3 things were important to us on our day. 1. our guests have an amazing time 2. the timeline runs smoothly 3. to have fun That's exactly what happened! I am grateful that I was not stressed the day of and we are so happy we found Sandra and Paola as they helped turn my dream wedding into a reality. The wedding went even better than I could have imagined and I can say without a doubt that it would not have gone so perfectly without Sandra and Paola with Say I Do to Details. I will 100% contact them to help plan any party I have in the future. Choose them for your planning team- you won't regret it!

A month out and no photographer, videographer, tables, silverware, layout, and the day turned out absolutely perfect.

Thanks to Sandra and her team for helping my sister have her perfect day!

They coordinated with all vendors well, directed guests and made the experience stress free. Everyone was so sweet to us and our dog, Rocky. We brought Rocky to our party and they made sure she was taken care of the entire time. It was so thoughtful. Rocky says the team gets 5 stars!

    Horrible experience, stay away!…read more This is a review for Eliza at BEL Events for her wedding planning services. We met Eliza at our venue 8 month before our wedding date. During the first session she presented herself well, and she talked and bragged a lot about her 18 yrs of experience in event planning and stories about how she handles wedding situations. So, we thought she is the right event planner for us and signed a contract. After signing the contract and making the payment, she was very hard to find and we did not see the expected action from her side, and every time we followed up, her response was: "don't worry I will manage everything before the wedding day". We were asking for the basics of planning such as timeline, vendor recommendations (a few to choose from) and communications (which was part of the contract) but not no action except a quote of her own rental service. We were getting closer to the wedding date and her lack of action made us so worried and very frustrated. Eventually we had to get involved and did almost 90% of the work ourselves. She was very hard to find but even when we could talk to her, she would create more unnecessary problems to an extant that my wife had panic attacks after a few meetings we had with her. 2 month before our wedding she caused so much anxiety and frustration that we decided to end our contract with her and find another planner. Thankfully, our new planner was amazing and our Wedding planning went very smooth after that, and the event was as wonderful as we could imagine! With way lower cost than what Eliza had proposed! After I requested to cancel the contract she disappeared and never responded to our emails, which is very unprofessional. Here is a list of a few issues from our experience of working with here: 1- Accessibility: every time we had a question or needed to talk to her, it was taking several days until she gets back to us. With irrelevant excuses, like she would show me her busy google calendar! 2- Push to use her own services as vendors: Per her contract she had to suggest different vendors so we can choose. But since she has rental and flower services, she was arguing so much to stop us from even looking at other options! She charges unnecessarily expensive! By doing a little research, we found our vendors and saved at least 50% with same or better quality! 3- Nonsense arguments and rude attitude: In many occasions she was just insisting on holding the event the way SHE wants, without paying attention to our request or desire. Every time we requested something, her answer was: "I don't want MY event to be that way or I don't want MY guests to be that way"!!! With a condescending attitude emphasizing that "I have 18 yrs of experience and I know what to do"!!! Any simple request would become a long story and unnecessary argument. In one occasion my wife requested that guests throw flower petals while walking out of aisle, and she immediately said: "No!, you can't do that, I don't want my cleaning crew spend time on cleaning the petals"!!!! In another occasion Eliza was insisting on only using her recommended valet service (which was quoting more than double the price of the service we eventually used) and on top of it she was forcing us to rent extra parking lot out of venue and pay extra for shuttle service!!!! While the venue had enough capacity! And when I respectfully said: I am confident that the venue has enough capacity for parking, she got very angry and said: "in that case tell all your guests to use UBER and they can't drive their own car"!!! It was a nightmare working with BEL Events and I don't recommend her service due to lack of professionalism and decency in her business.

She handled everything I could possibly think of, and even the things I didn't think of, she had already taken care of of course! She is a true professional, but she's also the sweetest, most supportive and fun person to have by your side. Her energy is completely infectious, and honestly, I was mostly just so happy she was there and got to be part of our day! She kept everything running smoothly, made everyone feel comfortable and somehow made the entire experience feel calm and fun at the same time. I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Aly & Sunshine Events Co team. Every couple deserves an Aly on their wedding day, and I would recommend her a thousand times over!!

    Christina and the entire Sunshine Events team played SUCH a huge role in making our wedding the…read moremost incredible day of our lives, and I truly cannot imagine having done it without them. From my very first call with Christina, I knew she was the one. I had done a ton of research and interviewed several planners, but Christina immediately stood out because of how incredibly detail-oriented, knowledgeable, organized, and informative she was. I got off that first call and just knew I wanted her by our side through this process. And over a full year of planning, Christina kept us on track every step of the way, made sure we always knew what needed to happen next, and despite having various changes (with me changing my mind a lot on everything from design to floral to rentals up until the last minute hah!), she stayed calm and kept us calm through it all. She handled every single curveball with so much patience, flexibility, and professionalism! And then came the actual wedding day, which is where they completely blew us away. Christina and her team were there for us every minute of the day. They made sure we were eating, drinking water, resting when we needed to, staying on schedule, and genuinely not lifting a finger. Every time I even thought I might need something, somehow someone from the team was already there handling it. I knew we were in good hands when Christina walked in that morning carrying what can only be described as a giant box of EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING someone could possibly need on a wedding day lol At one point I got makeup on my dress and before I had time to panic, Christina was right there with a spray from her box and got it out immediately. That little moment perfectly sums up what it felt like to have her with us all day: no matter what happened, she had it handled. And while she was taking such incredible care of us, she and the team were also behind the scenes making sure every single detail of the wedding was set up exactly the way we had envisioned it. We were actually able to be present, enjoy ourselves, and soak in the day. What made the Sunshine Events team even more incredible, though, was how much they showed up for us throughout our ENTIRE wedding weekend. They made sure everything was in great shape for our rehearsal dinner, and then on Saturday, when we threw a big party for our friends, Christina's team was literally there before I even arrived, helping my fiancé set everything up. A very special shoutout to Paige, one of Christina's assistants, who was FABULOUS all weekend and such an amazing presence to have around!! Christina is the kind of planner who makes you feel like nothing could possibly go wrong because even if something DID, you probably would never know about it. She is thoughtful, prepared, patient, incredibly hardworking, and just SOO good at what she does. Christina and the entire Sunshine Events team: THANK YOU!! You were such a huge part of making it the best weekend of our lives, and we are forever grateful. If you are looking for a wedding planner, I genuinely cannot recommend Christina and her team enough!!!

She'll even call you instead if she thinks it would be more efficient. 2) Preferred planner with our venue. She worked insanely well with our venue coordinator, which smoothed over so many details we didn't even need to be there for. 3) Mom energy. Jessica made sure my husband and I had everything we needed and more during the events - food, water, rest, shade, phones, you name it. She was super patient and respectful with accommodating our parents' requests, too. 4) Management capability. We had a big fat South Asian wedding consisting of 4 events over 2 days with a thousand moving parts. Jessica coordinated all the vendor contracts and on-site set up. She and her husband themselves were present for the duration of all events, which made all the difference. This is the person you want when something goes wrong. From having an emergency photographer on speed dial to adjusting the timeline on the spot, Jessica kept things in motion. She brought our visions to life, whether it was through decor mockups, adding sticker decals to our welcome mirror, or negotiating quotes and extra setup time & venue space. My most favorite memory is Jessica texting me photos and videos of the Baraat celebration, which the bride is not part of. Our family has made a connection with Jessica for life, even far beyond the wedding.

Since our venue did not provide any services, we hired all of our own vendors. 3LB was essential in ensuring everyone was coordinated and in place on the wedding day. Additionally, because we used their rental equipment, their staff ensured everything was set up exactly according to our instructions. I want to specifically highlight our wedding day coordinator, Jennifer. She was terrific and served as a calming influence throughout the day, ensuring everyone was where they needed to be. I cannot recommend Three Little Birds enough. To anyone considering their services: do yourself a favor and hire this team; you won't be disappointed.
