Just going to say, in our eyes, Cassie and Gilbert are family now! My wife and I cannot express enough how amazing Harmonious Events is and how blessed we were to find such great people! We started our journey with Gilbert and Cassie a year ago and the entire process was seamless and amazing. The fact that they were able to accommodate our all inclusive needs, made the past year virtually stress free. I am not sure how most feel, but being the man throughout the process of planning a wedding, I was initially worried about how stressed my bride would be and how this would impact the process of planning our big day. Cassie, Gilbert, Britney and Josh all made sure we had nothing to worry about. I'll be honest my expectations of planning the wedding were really low, and the team at Harmonious events really made it so easy, stress free, and fun! They really made us feel like family and took care of us all the way through. Of course with COVID going on and attempting to have a wedding in 2020 was a roller coaster, but their team was so accommodating and we had a PARTY! Everything about our wedding was so much fun and they made sure we didn't have to worry about a thing. They will start off by interviewing you and your significant other to understand your goals, vision, budget, and worries. After the first kick off, you will have periodic check-ins to make sure everything is in order, and I can tell your from experience we had little to no hiccups, beside the COVID scare of course. Gilbert and Cassie welcomed us into their home and made sure to keep us informed throughout the whole process. Their catering and food was SO good! We decided on BBQ and it came out great. Definitely opt in for the late night bites, it really finished the night off perfectly. The engagement and wedding photos came out perfect, and we are glad they were able to capture the exactly feelings we had throughout the whole wedding. Everything about our wedding was perfect, and we are still about a month and a half later having people reach out to say how amazing the wedding was. We cannot thank Cassie, Gilbert, Britney, Josh, and the whole team at Harmonious events enough! Thank you for making our wedding amazing, and really treating us like family!

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! My wife and I found this venue from a hashtag on Instagram. After many tours of other venues in San Diego, Temecula, and even OC, Harmony Estate was one of our last tours. From the second we walked in, we got this warm feeling (I know it sounds funny but its TRUE!) It was a warm, welcoming, we treat you like family feeling that we just didn't get from any other venue. After we met with Cassie and Gilbert, We just felt at ease. They were so smart and knowledgable and really just covered every little part of the wedding. There were things we never even thought about that they brought up in conversation. We booked them! It was such an easy decision that we just knew as soon as we left our tour appointment. Shortly after, Cassie and Gilbert started a text message group chat with us and some of the staff. This was very interesting as I have never heard of that but let me tell you, It was so incredible. Every time we thought of something or had a question or idea, we would ask in that group message. The responses were so fast! This just added to the feeling at ease. When planning a wedding, There are just so many questions, concerns and ideas that you just need to bounce off of some people so to be able to talk and receive responses so fast is very relieving. Day of the wedding!!! This is the big day where one of the biggest worries is the what ifs... This staff was some of the most professional, caring, kindest people I have ever met. There was not one time where we were approached and asked questions. They just all had every base covered. From the parking, to the directing of guests, to the serving, and the coordinating...It was seamless. We had so many compliments on them which is so nice to have! Bottom line, If you are looking for a warm family feeling with a ton of professionalism thrown in, This is your venue. We could not have made a better choice for a venue and staff to help make our day so special. Just remember, This is your big day that you will remember forever. I promise you, Cassie and Gilbert are the ones you are going to want to help you create that memory! To Cassie and Gilbert, Thank you for being you. You will forever be apart of our family

Yesterday was one of the most memorable days of my life, and Harmonious Events was there to make it all the more amazing! From the very beginning, it was apparent that their staff took pride in what they do. We all know how hard life can be, with work, kids, family, etc., and juggling all of this can be overwhelming...so it was such a relief to have Harmonious Events on our side! They handled just about everything, making our involvement as minimal as possible, therefore eliminating a lot of stress! Our wedding day went on without a hitch, and I couldn't be any happier with Gilbert, Cassie, Brittanyand the rest of the Harmonious Events staff! Thank you for all the amazing memories. If you want quality planning with minimal stress, don't look any further!

This review is a little overdue, but probably the most important one I'll leave! I was connected to Harmonious Events after falling in love with a venue in my hometown. I got into contact with Gilbert, the MAN of Harmonious! Immediately, I felt a genuine connection with just our first phone conversation. I had already spoken with several wedding event planners and toured a few venues, so I was quite surprised with how I felt immediately following our first conversation. After our first in person meeting, it became quite clear that all the stresses and concerns that I may have had about planning a wedding were calmed. Harmonious Events presented a variety of options, offering to take care of flowers, food, desserts, bar service, photography, videography, planning, and entertainment - with absolutely no pressure to use all the services. For my husband (!!!!) and I, we decided it was a no brainer, we were impressed with the quality and care that went into each of the services and decided to go all in! Going into our wedding planning, I was always concerned with expenses. I wasn't sure if we'd be able to afford to have a wedding with a year engagement. But, with Harmonious, it was easy to have conversations about finances and the Harmonious team always came up with a variety of options so that we were able to have everything we wanted at a cost that we could afford. Looking back, I still can't believe that we were able to afford the wedding of our dreams! It was everything I could have imagined and more. I could tell you that I had 100% support with planning from day 1, that I could text the team at 1 am when I had an idea, that I never felt alone, that I knew every option and that they made it happen. I could tell you that the food was amazing, that we received so many compliments on appetizers, on the dinner, on the sweets table. I could tell you that our floral and décor was outrageous, that it felt like I stepped into a magazine, that I fell in love with the details that went into every little thing. I could tell you that we had an incredible photo/video team who captured the whole day for us, no time limits, no missed moments. I could tell you that that our DJ was off the hook, that the dance floor was never empty, that everyone couldn't help but move to the groove. I could tell you that we had the best bartenders, who made each and every guest feel like a VIP. I could actually go on forever with how perfect our night was, that I never had to worry, that logistics were handled, and that I truly enjoyed my night. But TRULY the best part, the absolute best part of our experience with Harmonious is that we immediately felt like family. Every meeting, every interaction, every decision was a BLAST! I truly felt the love and care that went into planning our day. I had fun planning my wedding, and every worry that my husband (still can't get over it guys!!!!) and I may have had melted away because I had Gib, Cass, Britt, and the rest of the Harmonious team to bounce ideas off of and to help me with absolutely anything and everything that I needed. The day of, I fully enjoyed every minute with my husband (!!!!) and my loved ones. I knew we were in great hands, and everything was seriously out of a dream! I cannot tell you how many of our guests told us how much they loved our wedding. From the delicious food to the gorgeous floral arrangements, to just the overall vibe that Harmonious curated for us, I wouldn't change a thing. Whether you're unsure about where to start, in the early or later stages of planning, if you're still looking for the answer to your wedding needs, DON'T HESITATE and reach out to this incredible group. You will not regret it! Seriously changed our lives and made me the happiest bride on the happiest day of my life. I don't think I will ever be able to thank the Harmonious Team enough. I'm so grateful to have found them and to have made memories that I'll forever cherish.

In 2017, my husband and I were looking for a wedding planner to take away the stress of the big day and went to Yelp, hoping we'd find someone. We messaged the Harmonious Events team, not expecting much of a response, but they responded quickly and were incredibly friendly, inviting us to their home. Prior to meeting, my husband and I talked, and agreed that we wouldn't rush into any decisions before meeting with other planners. That changed as soon as they opened their doors. They welcomed us with open arms; literally, they hugged us, they offered water and Starbucks coffee and made us feel less like strangers and more like family. They listened to every idea we had for the wedding throughout the meeting, and had solutions for everything we asked for the wedding. They worked with our budget and helped us come up with an incredibly reasonable payment plan. It made the entire planning experience incredibly easy and stress-free since we knew we were getting everything we wanted. We walked out knowing we didn't need to meet with anyone else. Over the next three years, the process blossomed into a friendship. We watched their family grow and seen their business evolve, yet their mindfulness of our questions never waivered. No matter the time of day, we could text them and have a question answered quickly. We had so many meetings, all accommodating around our school schedule. We found our gem of a venue tucked away in the heart of Uptown Whittier, and my husband and I knew immediately that this is the place where we had to say "I do." Everything about The Artisan took our breath away, from the exposed brick wall and black stairway, to the venue's urban industrial style, to the stringed lights and the fantastic patio deck. Yet, The Artisan has gotten only better with time, with hanging lights and a beautiful separate Groom and Bridal suite, filled with amenities by the Harmonious team like cold drinks, TVs, and Bluetooth speakers. Despite COVID, once my husband and I decided that no pandemic would stop us from finally getting married after 11 years together, the Harmonious team was ready and willing to be there for us. They made every possible decision to keep themselves and our family safe. Cass and the Harmonious team were there early in the morning, ready to decorate and set up for our big day. Cass is such a diligent worker that she pulled double duty that day, working as one of our photographers, and coordinating her team, while Gil worked for another couple that same day. Cass made sure to make me feel special that day by telling me beforehand that if there was anything that I needed, all I needed to do was text her, and she would be there for me. And the same goes for my husband, who said Cass or her team were always around in the Groom Suite and checking on him to make him feel comfortable. The moment finally came, and the ceremony was breathtaking. Every little detail that the team worked on was indeed an incredible sight. The floral arrangements that their team had for us were astonishing. They made boutonnieres for the guys, gorgeous bouquets for the ladies, corsages for the moms, and a magnificent wedding bouquet for myself. After the ceremony, the Harmonious team had a cocktail hour for our guests while she took my new husband and me around the venue to get some fantastic pictures. The food that day was sensational. The appetizers were great and the dinner was spectacular. The best part of the night was that the Harmonious staff made my husband and I our own special dish; we shared a tasteful pizza and fries, a staple of our relationship. The sweets table was such a delight; people enjoyed tasty doughnuts, cupcakes, and cake that were delectable. The bartenders worked so wonderfully that night and made sure our guests were satisfied. The DJ worked with us to make sure every musical detail was filled that night, from grand entrances, to garter tosses, bouquet tosses, and our first dance. At the end of the night, once all the guests had left, we stayed and chatted for almost two hours with the team. We talked about how beautiful the day was, how far we've come as friends, fun moments throughout the night. Every worker that day laughed and giggled with us. They all became family by the end of the night. Finally, I must say, choosing the Harmonious Events team will change your life. Every single person we've come in contact with on their team have been the most friendly people we've ever met. Aside from decorations, coordination, and the stress-free wedding day, the number one service you get with Harmonious Events is extraordinary hospitality, care and love. Instead of feeling like just another couple, you quickly become more than that. You become members of the extensive and loved Harmonious family. My new husband and I are honored to have worked with everyone and are grateful to have them bless our marriage. Five stars will never be enough. Thank you, Harmonious Events. We love you!

This review is WAY overdue *Sorry Gilbert and Cassie.* I found Gilbert and Cassie through yelp after having postponed my wedding due to a Family Emergency and FINALLY convincing my now Husband that we needed a wedding planner. I initially spoke with Gilbert and let him know what I was looking for and informed him that we already had some vendors for our wedding and what it was that we were looking for. In planning with certain vendors, I also realized once they get your deposit, they don't communicate as well, and informed Gilbert that I was still very hands on, and that communication was super important to me. He assured me he would be there every step of the way and that it wouldn't be a problem. After speaking to other Wedding planners, I just got a good vibe from Gilbert and decided Harmonious Events is who I wanted to assist with my wedding. My Husband and I thought we were going to have to have a wedding at a hotel because of our budget and because they just had everything there and we didn't have to worry about so many vendors. When Gilbert and Cassie assured us that they do it all, they literally mean THEY DO IT ALL!!!! Gilbert knew that I had visited the Alexandria Ballrooms and that it would be a dream to get married there. He was like "let's do it, we can make it happen." AND THEY DID! I ended up having my wedding on Dec 1, 2018 at The Alexandria Ballrooms. We ended up getting our catering, bartending, tables, chairs, flowers, dessert table, seating chart, welcome sign, linens, silverware and coordinating services through Gilbert and Cassie and we couldn't have been more happy. They were on top of it all. From the moment we signed on, till the very end. From Food tasting, drink tasting, dessert tasting, to the day of the wedding, Gilbert and Cassie were there. We received so many compliments on the food, and how beautiful our wedding was. To this Day, my Mom still talks about Gilberts Team and our vendors (who all ended up working together great btw..) and how on top of everything they were. The only thing I can recommend is if you're having a wedding size of 180-200 people, don't think 2 bartenders is going to work! LOL! Our Mexican/Salvi wedding had those poor bartenders on their toes! We should have definitely hired at least two more bartenders, but our budget didn't permit because of other things we prioritized. Seriously, tell Gilbert and Cassie what you are working with and they will tell you what they can do, what they can't do, and how to maximize your budget. Overall, I tell my Husband that If money were to permit, I would have Gilbert and Cassie plan our wedding every year because they're just that amazing! These two people are some of the nicest people you will ever meet, and if you need a Wedding coordinator/Planner, hire them! You will not regret it. Thank you Gilbert and Cassie for the wedding of our dreams. We love you so much and we thank you for all that you do!

I cannot fully explain how amazing Gilbert, Cassie, and the rest of the Harmonious Events team are. What I had envisioned for my wedding was not only brought to life, but exceeded all my hopes and dreams. They completely handled everything! I loved that they are a one-stop shop! When I came to them, I already booked the venue and photographer, but went with them for basically everything else. They provided all the beautiful flowers (which I'm still having a hard time letting go of my bouquet because of how perfect it turned out!!), the tables, linens, lights, invites, heaters, cake and sweets! Every idea I came to them with, I would say "can I have this at my wedding?!" And Gilbert would always respond with "yeah! Why not?!" Honestly, it was just such a relief to have a team like theirs. It was stress-free and I loved being able to know things were getting handled, and that was just the planning part!! Their "day-of" coordination was on point! Seriously. My venue was small and I wanted to hold my ceremony and reception in the same area. Which meant these amazing people had to completely flip my wedding in less than an hour. If there were any little hiccups that day, I was not aware of them AT ALL. I was enjoying my wedding day and worried about myself and getting myself ready and taking pictures the way it should be!! They handled it all!! I was very open minded to all of their suggestions and their professional input. When it came to the decorations and set up, I told them how i thought things should be placed and they would always politely say, "actually, i think this might look better like this" and guess what...it ALWAYS did! I just ended up telling them, do what you think looks best, because I completely trusted their opinion and expertise. In the beginning my husband and I battled with whether we should hire wedding planners at all. We kept thinking, "maybe we could do it ourselves", but in all honesty, we could not have. Even with help from our friends and family, it would not have turned out as perfect as it did with Harmonious Events. At our wedding, all my guest enjoyed every part, my family and parents, and most importantly, my husband and I. I was so happy that none of them were working the day of our wedding and we were all able to relax and enjoy it all like how our wedding should be. Thank you so much Harmonious Events!! You guys are awesome!!!

If I could choose 20 stars, I would. As I reflect on the occasion of our one year wedding anniversary, I am reminded of the magical evening Gil, Cassie and the team put together for my husband and I. With only 2 months to plan, a tight budget and head filled with romantic ideas, Gil and Cassie welcomed us like family, inspired us to work with them and delivered on all of our dreams. We are so glad we trusted this once in a lifetime event- our wedding- to Harmonious Events. The Look- romantic, inspired and people are still talking about how beautiful it was all arranged. The flowers/succulents, the guitarist, the candles, table decor- it was all to perfection! The Food, The Drink- WOW! Delicious BBQed meats and veggies and we had a speciality cocktail made for us people are still talking about it as a great party. The Team- Undeniably the most well prepared, courteous, smooth operation I have seen at an event. It was seamless and people are still talking about how special they felt thanks to Gil, Cassie and the team. Trust me, trust the reviews, there is a reason why there are 5 stars consistently. Harmonious Events is no joke, the BEST, at event planning and delivering on your dreams.

Gilbert, Cassaundra, and their team were an absolute delight to work with. The Harmonious team handled our catering, rentals, entertainment, photo booth, lighting, decor, bar tending, security, setup/tear down, and day of coordination for our wedding. It is unbelievable how smooth the day was and how attentive they were. We did not worry about a single thing and were amazed by how everything turned out. Chef Gilbert cooked up a delicious Hawaiian style appetizer plate for our guests that included huli huli chicken, pineapple pork, sticky rice, salad, and a Hawaiian Roll. The guests all commented on how great the food was. We all got hungry when they were cooking on-site because everything smelled so good! The Bartenders also did a phenomenal job keeping our guests happy and creating delicious mixed drinks. All of the tables, chairs, string lighting, up lighting, and linens were set up according to our expectations. We brought our own florals and welcome table decor but Gilbert made sure they were all set up in the most attractive way possible. We were even short a few centerpieces and they still made it happen for us! Gilbert and Cassaundra also worked with our other vendors to make sure the whole day went smoothly. Everyone showed up on time and had what they needed. They also handled our entertainment - Emcee, DJ, and hula dancers. All of our guests were happy with the music selection and had fun dancing the night away. So much more can be said about this team but what Stephen and I were most happy about was how remarkable this family is. Gilbert and Cassaundra were honest, kind, flexible, and attentive to what we wanted. They helped us stay within budget and were there every step of the way. They genuinely cared about our day as much as we did. Our families couldn't stop raving about this duo and their team. We highly recommend their services!

Feb 2020 we originally booked & paid the deposit to have harmonious events for photo, bar, food, basically everything. After COVID happened we had to postpone our wedding, downsize our guest count & change venue locations to be able to afford a wedding. The owners, Gilbert & Cassie, were very understanding & so kind enough to let our deposit go towards any of their services for our upcoming wedding. We got married June 13, 2021 and Harmonious Events did our flowers & DJ, both were phenomenal! I am very picky and had a lot of Pinterest ideas for our flowers & was even indecisive at the end for which flower arrangements to pick and Brittany was very patient, sweet, and all of our flowers came out exactly how I wanted. We had the ceremony arch flowers, boutonnieres, bridal party flowers & even individual flowers for everyones cocktail. We also had Rudy as our DJ who was so amazing! I had an outline prior to the wedding and he did everything accordingly and on time. It was very organized because of him and he made it very fun for our guests. Everyone that we have met through Harmonious Events was professional, answers questions timely, friendly, and the customer service is amazing! You won't be disappointed if you hire them for any of your wedding vendor needs.

If you're debating as to what wedding planning services to go with, LOOK NO FURTHER! Harmonious Events went above and beyond what we thought a wedding planner would do! They have this whole thing down to a science! They literally have a check-off list you go over at their location. From the very beginning, you can already tell their gears are turning as you let them know what you are looking for and expecting...then their ideas are shared w/you and you find yourselves going "Oh yeah ..that would be awesome!" Yesterday was our wedding @ The Clarke Estate in Santa Fe Springs (great venue btw), and we literally just showed up, got dressed, and the Harmonious staff took care of all the rest! Before we even arrived, they had already decorated the whole place, food was cooking (which was deeeeeeelicious), appetizers were being organized, and every other detail taken care of. They even provided a photobooth (big hit) with all sorts of funny props! Here's the long-and-short of it: Gilbert, Cassie, and staff are very professional and experienced, their prices are very reasonable, and C'mon...look at the other reviews! These guys are on it! Ok, I've said my piece, now...hurry up and call them! You won't regret it! We love you Harmonious Events staff! Thank you for making our special day better than we even thought possible!

My husband and I had the most beautiful wedding day at Harmony Estate in Murrieta. I came across Harmony Estate browsing online and thought there was no way I would be able to afford it because the pictures of the place were just ... stunning. Gilbert called me quickly after submitting interest and turned everything around for my husband and I. We had cancelled our last venue due to the times and thought getting married this year just wasn't going to happen. We even got to keep our date and got everything we wanted plus soooooo much more and all within our budget !!!!! Harmony Estate is even more beautiful in person. Being able to get married in a private estate with a gorgeous ceremony site outdoors in front on a pond and reception in a modernized high ceiling barn ... amazing. Now add AMAZING Service and communication from Gilbert and Cass! They are one power couple running a fantastic team. We couldn't be happier and more grateful to have gotten married here. Thank you guys for everything!!

Words cannot express how thankful we are for having Harmonious Events as our: coordinators, photographers, bar tenders, set up, and the list goes on you name it they provide it. Both my wife and I at first thought we weren't going to need coordinators but truth be told "YOU DO!!!". Gilbert and Cassaundra were just amazing since the first time we met with them. They are such sweet & lovely people that they immediately make you feel like family. Our wedding was on May 28th at the Clarke Estate & it was absolutely perfect. Our family and friends just loved it, and one of the main reasons was because Harmonious Events made sure that not only my wife and I were actually enjoying the wedding but our guest as well. We always had a drink in our hand  Words can't express how much we appreciate everything Harmonious Events did, without a doubt the BEST coordinators. Both my wife and I have agreed to ONLY use them to host any of our events in the future, specially since they are now a part of our family.
