    My husband and I did premarital counseling with Pastor Stan and loved our time with him that we used him as our officiant for our wedding as well. Pastor Stan is very easy to talk to. He has a sincere and warm personality. We enjoyed working with him and highly recommend him. Premarital counseling includes five one-hour virtual sessions. My fiancé at the time and I completed some questions (like a personality quiz) and we each received our individualized reports. We discussed a lot during our sessions, ranging from our family background, values, fears, expectations, finances, etc. It was all covered well and effectively. Pastor Stan again is easy to talk to and created a warm friendly environment to discuss and resolve our differences and conflicts. For our wedding ceremony, Pastor Stan was funny and personable. Many friends later told me that they enjoyed Pastor Stan's speech and found it funny and not boring like many other ceremonies they went to before. Pastor Stan also prepared the story of how my husband and I met, added his own flair and humor, and made the ceremony much more personal and enjoyable. We really enjoyed working with Pastor Stan for premarital counseling and our wedding ceremony. We couldn't have asked for a better pastor than Pastor Stan!

    My husband and I had Hector Duron as our officiant during our wedding. Overall Hector was a fantastic officiant. He made us feel prepared and comfortable going into our ceremony and we had a great time during it. The initial meeting with Hector really helped us understand how we should craft our vows and script (even though we totally changed what we wanted a week before lol). However that meeting was very important so we all got to know each other and for our officiant to know what we were thinking of doing for the ceremony. The information about the marriage license was also a big help! During the wedding event Hector was very supportive and checked in on us before the ceremony started. Hector as our officiant exceeded our expectations of what we imagined our wedding officiant would be like. Not only did Hector hit all the important points we wanted in the script, he made the ceremony heartwarming, funny, and memorable for everyone there. We are a couple that likes to have fun moments and a few jokes so we were glad that Hector included some comments to make us and the guests laugh. Hector is also the person that suggested we do a wine ceremony, which we didn't hear of before but were very excited to do. His suggestion really made our ceremony unique and everyone liked that feature as well. After the wedding we received great feedback from guests about how they enjoyed the officiant as well. Hector made our ceremony very memorable and we are very happy with how everything went!

    We enjoyed having Pastor Stan as our officiant. We had a tall order to fill and he sure did! We are interfaith, Buddhist mixed with a little pagan. We did a blessings of the elements, handfasting ceremony, and exchange of rings. His voice was so soothing it calmed our jitters and everyone loved him! He gets to know you prior to the ceremony and we felt heard. We cannot say enough good things about Pastor Stan. You will not be disappointed! He is truly wonderful. THANK YOU HAN & IRENE

    After having attended hundreds of weddings, I can confidently say that Pastor Stan Doll and his team are the best in the industry. They are engaging, professional, friendly, organized, timely, and considerate. I highly recommend them!

    We had the absolute privilege of having Pastor Stan officiate our wedding last month. He is nothing short of AMAZING! It felt like we were having a family member officiate our wedding. He tailored our ceremony to be absolutely perfect for us - religious but so modern. He kept our guests engaged and laughing and truly made our ceremony SO special and fun. We couldn't of asked for a better Pastor. You can tell that he truly cares about the couples he marries, and is invested in not only our wedding, but a strong future. We are so blessed to have had him as part of our most special day. Thank you, Pastor Stan, we're forever grateful!!

    I gotta say that after endless people I've researched. Pastor Stan has made us feel comfortable even though we are two shy people and the thought of writing our own vows was kind of scary we didn't stick to not the normal traditional vows , as he gave us some options for our vows that fit us. My whole experience with our wedding was just wonderful with Pastor Stan.

    Pastor Stan is absolutely amazing, he genuinely has a passion and makes your wedding ceremony perfect! My husband and I got married April 08. Prior to our wedding, pastor Stan reached out to us. He really takes the time to get to know you, your beliefs and your story. I highly recommend pastor Stan and all his services. Thank you so much Pastor Stan for being such an important role in our wedding and making it specially perfect we are blessed to have found you!

    If you are getting married and searching for an officiant for your wedding, Pastor Stan is your guy! My husband and I recently hired Stan to officiate our wedding, and he was nothing short of amazing. We got so many compliments about how good he was. Some of my guests thought for sure he was recommended by someone we knew, or we knew him from before, and they were shocked to learn that I found him here on yelp! Stan and I first talked over the phone about 9 months before my wedding. He answered all my questions and I felt so at ease that I hired him just from that phone meeting. I did not meet Stan in person until about a month before my wedding. My husband and I met with him and he asked us a bunch of questions and really got to know us. Come wedding day, Stan made our ceremony one to remember. His words had our guests so engaged. He took our guests down memory lane by narrating our love story from the beginning. It was sentimental, with a little humor just like I like it. Hire Stan, you will not regret it. He will customize your ceremony and make it just how you want it to be. Thank you for playing such an important role in our big day Stan!

    I am so so grateful that we found and chose Pastor Stan to officiate our wedding in May. He really took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple. He tailored our ceremony to what was important to us which was family and the importance of making our day not just about our wedding- but creating a lasting marriage. We truly feel so supported by him. We got so many compliments from friends and family how special our ceremony was. Thank you Joining Hearts and Pastor Stan!!

    We originally had a different officiant booked through our wedding venue and at the last minute it was changed to Stan. I am so glad we were able to work with Stan in the short period of time that we did. He was very easy to get along with and communicate with. The wedding ceremony was enjoyable and funny all our family/friends kept saying how good of an officiant Stan was. I cannot recommend Stan enough!

    This review is over due... Our wedding was on September 2, 2018. Pastor Stan Doll was our officiant for our wedding and he was amazing! He took the time, multiple of times, to talk with my husband and I over the telephone. We felt a connection from the start! He was so easy to talk to. We knew he was the perfect fit. Stan Doll is very communicative, friendly and so very caring. He met with my husband and I to discuss our "love story" and what our ceremony would look like. We ended up talking with Stan Doll for about 2 hours ( we went a little over our time). We connected with him so well and began to talk as if we knew him for years. The whole process was smooth. He helped us out so much; from him helping us our with our marriage vows to us getting our marriage license. He was so accommodating with all our needs with no hesitations. We decided to do the "Unity Cross" ceremony and he nailed it!!! The ceremony was magical! We were so pleased with how our ceremony went! Pastor Stan Doll is truly great at what he does. We had an amazing and memorable experience with him!!

    Stan Doll is our officiant for our upcoming wedding in 19 days. We chose to do premarital counseling with him and we can't even explain how amazing the experience was! We've been together for 7.5 years, and have lived together for 3. Pastor Stan was completely non judgmental about anything we told him and he was so filled with love, compassion and wisdom for us. We are not regulars at church, but my fiancé and I have both been trying to have a closer relationship with God in the past year. Pastor Stan prayed over us with so much love and he really worked with us over every topic throughout the program. He encouraged us to dig even deeper with our faith and even helped us write our own vows (I can't wait to hear my fiancé's vows!!! ). We absolutely recommend Stan as an officiant and as a premarital counselor. Thanks "Stan Dad" if you're reading this, we'll see you at the wedding!!

    Pastor Stan was just perfect for us! When we met with him for our initial consultation, he walked us through our journey. It was a wonderful exercise, reliving our love story. His friendly and warm approach set us at ease right away. His faith is evident, but he is also very down to earth and has a heart for service. When it came to our wedding ceremony, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect Officient. He was a big part of a wonderful day that we will never forget. Something nice about Pastor Stan was that he made himself available to us for counsel beyond our wedding... We've found a truly great connection with him.

    Love Pastor Stan Doll and how excited and happy he was for us! It really shows! Thank you for making our ceremony and wedding so beautiful!

    See all

    This review is long long overdue, Cindy and her amazing team helped us execute our dream wedding…read moreback in September of 2022 in Malibu, and absolutely recommend them if you guys are even on the fence or looking for a wedding planner/coordinator. Please continue reading and stop looking elsewhere and be completely convinced that you guys should go with MLE immediately! MLE was involved as our Day of Coordinator and planning activities 6 weeks leading up to the big day. Cindy's experience, consideration, professionalism, and honesty (this is a huge one) made what could have been a very stressful day into a stress-free day, or least as stress free as a wedding day can get it, haha. As the days approached the big day, we were already pretty happy with MLE, but once the big day came, they completely kicked it up into high gear. They were so seamless in working in the background to make everything come together with the vendors, timing, handling of guests, etc. We had a delay due to the florist, but they handled it so well that the guests couldn't tell, only we could, and even when we tried to get involved, MLE assured us that it was taken care of, and not to worry. They even went above and beyond in moving some flowers to be better positioned around our mirror guest list, which elevated how the florist had originally planned for. They were very considerate and thoughtful for us by making sure appetizers were set aside for us while we were taking pictures, we were very pleasantly surprised to find a big bowl of our seafood items sitting at our couples table, since we definitely didn't get a chance to get to it. Throughout the night, they made a point to bring us drinks, dessert, help with a small crisis on my mom's side. I really couldn't have imagined having a better coordinator the day of, I wish I had another big event to plan, because I would absolutely go back to them for their services. AND the amazing service doesn't even stop at the wedding day! Their follow up emails to reflect back on what went wrong or what went well shows how much they care about their work. They were very meticulous in addressing any concerns we had that happened on the big day and most importantly, they were honest. They were truthful about the reasons why some things didn't go as planned, and that to us is the most important trait in a coordinator that you can trust them. In the end, they were instrumental in even getting us partial refunds from vendors because of them not holding completely true to their agreements. If you've read this to its end, you don't need to look elsewhere, hire Cindy and her team now! You won't regret it!

    The Mad Love team took such incredible care of us throughout our entire wedding planning process…read more Cindy was so warm during our first call with her, and it really set the tone for all of our future interactions with the rest of her team! Shasele was our point of contact, and she was kind, thorough, and patient with us as we worked through all of our requirements and asked her a million different questions about the process. She also made sure to provide regular checklists of items to make sure we stayed on track, while also not putting too much pressure on us! Claire handled putting together a gorgeous design brief based on inspiration photos we gathered, which definitely helped as we went through the process of selecting and working with vendors--all of whom were also incredible! An important thing I also want to mention is that I had a sudden health issue flare up partway through our venue search, which set things back by a year. The team was incredibly understanding and checked in periodically while offering well wishes until I was ready to return to planning, and I deeply appreciate how patient they all were during such a difficult time. Overall we couldn't not have asked for a better planning team to work with, and we're so incredibly grateful to Mad Love Events for making our special day so perfect!

    So happy we booked Heather for WTW's month-of package. We were actually looking for a day-of…read morecoordinator but after speaking with Heather, we realized that month-of would be more beneficial especially with vendor logistic/timing (plus WTW prices were reasonable). Heather saw us 2x before the big day: final venue walk through and our rehearsal day. She was super organized during those 2 days and helped guide us with our venue and corral our entire wedding party during the rehearsal. Heather also provided us with a day-of timeline, even for the hours she was not physically at the venue. On the wedding day, she arrived with Annaleise (team member) around 3pm and immediately got to work with the decor set up before our 6pm ceremony. All we had to do was hand over our room key and off they went! To be honest, we were so busy that day that if we didn't have Heather helping us out, I'm not sure how we could've accomplished what we needed to do. No amount of uncles and aunties could've done what WTW did in the same amount of time hah. Plus we had a cocktail hour "flip" during our ceremony, so having WTW help us during that time was crucial. At the end of the night, all our items were returned to vendors or packed away in the boxes we brought them in and stored in our room. During the month of, WTW used Google's suite to keep everything organized and documented, which I found very helpful since its a program that I am familiar with (vs learning a new program). And Heather also provides some rentals if you want to add more to your decor, which was also VERY helpful when we needed more candles and stands. Heather is professional, calm, and assertive. She knows what needs to be done to help make your day run smoothly and is a team player with the vendors and venue. For reference, our wedding was in Riverside, a church ceremony, 8 people in the wedding party, 120 guests, ~10 vendors, plated meals, and a hotel venue reception. We had a couple funky additions in the night which made the reception feel nontraditional, but Heather handled them like it was normal. We haven't received official pictures yet, but when we do, I hope to update this review so any new potential clients can see her magic. Thanks again!!

    WOW - where do I start? I've been waiting to give Lisa my review until I could post my wedding…read morephotos too, but believe me -- I have not stopped thinking about what magic she created for my wedding day! Let me say first that I was such a scrappy DIY bride, so I was really looking for a day-of coordinator I could trust. I did many calls with other coordinators and I was looking out for folx who really pressure you to have a cookie cutter wedding and play into the wedding industry. Lisa was not like that at all, she felt like one of my friends and was totally on board with working with the blank canvas of my venue. She was so easy to work with and made me feel really confident the day-of. She was hands down the best money spent from all my vendors at my wedding. Examples of Lisa's magic: - She was a serious partner in crime! I come from a background of event planning myself, so I recognized that I was a bit of a hyper detailed and logistically obsessed bride. I literally had made my production schedule before I had even met with her! This type of thing would normally irritate the hell out of an event coordinator, but honestly Lisa just felt like someone who was my partner. She saw what I had created and helped me build off of what I got started and she just made me feel like I wasn't in it alone anymore. - She would go above and beyond! We had a mix-up with our cocktail hour where our caterer came in and left some of the food on the side where it wasn't easily found. Lisa and her assistant jumped in immediately once she saw the need. She straight up started serving our hor d'orves to all of our guests so that the food we spent good money on wouldn't be hidden in the corner. - She handled extra coordination with ease! We had a mariachi parade and a shuttle coming in and out of our venue. She was able to coordinate all of this seamlessly with her assistant. I was worried about the coordination of our shuttle in particular- and without a single worry my guests were coming in and speaking so highly of the amazing coordination of the entire day. These are just a few examples of how amazing Lisa is. So do yourself a favor and give her a call for your special day. Thank you so much Lisa for all the ways you helped make my wedding the best weekend of my life.

This wedding was delayed and changed several times due to the lingering effects of COVID, and with each audible called, Lisa was not only able to adapt, but to flow with the change, keeping the Bride & Groom's wishes in mind, offering calm and supportive ideas throughout the process to ensure their dream wedding came true. Lisa offered attentive communication to her clients and the guests of a wedding, while utilizing a kind but firm approach to vendors, suppliers, and other associates in order to create the most beautiful moments to be cherished by the wedding party and the guests. The day of the wedding could not have gone more smooth. The Bride & Groom, the wedding party, the guests, were all cared for and treated with respect and courtesy. There was never any worry, about anything because "We got Lisa!" The day of ceremony breakfast, the pre wedding details of prep, guest management, and support for anything requested by/for the Bride & Groom, the ceremony, the dinner after, and the night time celebration could not have been more beautiful, serene, or better executed. Lisa also found ways to take initiative and offer thoughtful gifts or words to those in the wedding party. The last piece I need to share, is Lisa treated everyone with kindness and respect. The staff at the venue was eager and willing to help with any items requested, the servers at various restaurants could not have offered any better service.. Lisa has an incredible gift to love others up, which they in turn pass along to those they serve. Lisa is organized, more then capable, professional, an attentive listener, and will become family after working with her on YOUR wedding or event. Lisa - you are an amazing and rare person, with an incredible heart. Thank you for doing what you do, being who you are, and creating the unforgettable memories for so many others.

    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 :)

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!

    I honestly cannot imagine our wedding day without I-Jou. From the moment she stepped in, she…read morebrought such a calming presence and handled everything with so much care and professionalism. She guided us every step of the way, kept us on schedule, and made sure every detail was executed perfectly. We had a Chinese tea ceremony during the morning and she was very patient with our traditions and super efficient getting everyone ready to be served tea next. I-Jou is truly amazing at what she does and helped bring our vision to life. She is incredibly thoughtful and made sure we were well taken care of every step of the way. During our welcome photos, we were sweating, and she continuously checked in on us, bringing water and drinks and even saving appetizers from cocktail hour while we were busy with photos. When we were at our sweetheart table, she went to grab us drinks from the bar and even brought us desserts from our dessert bar! I-Jou knew the right questions to ask and overall we felt well supported throughout the whole wedding planning process up until the end of our wedding day. Because of her, I was able to truly be present and enjoy my wedding day without a single ounce of stress! Which is very rare for me because I am an overthinker and stress over the little things. She was incredibly detail oriented, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making sure our day was perfect. My husband and I are so beyond grateful for her and cannot recommend her enough!

    It's five stars for a reason. I-jou literally saved the day at our wedding in so many ways. I…read moredon't know how else to put it, but she is versed in the following black magic skills: 1) ability to create time 2) ability to be in four places at the same time 3) Clairvoyance. She knows what you need long before you do 4) cool under pressure - definition of 5) makes tough tasks seem effortless 6) Can change the weather for outdoor weddings. Well maybe not really but if she said she could I'd probably believe it based on all her other Mary Poppin-ness attributes 7) loves what she does She is no nonsense and her work is all business. While she is super friendly, if you are an overall gushing, emotional bride there may be some personality clash but she approaches her craft pragmatically so don't get offended if she skips some of the formalities and gets straight down to business.

She truly MADE the wedding their DREAM WEDDING.. and within budget! Choosing the Luxury Package was worth every penny and so much more. It took away the stress of trying to put together all the details of the wedding. You simply give Candice your vision (no matter how vague) and she just makes it come to life. It literally sounds too good to be true, but that's exactly what she does! All the decor, the centerpieces, props, dessert table.. Add flowers and custom photo backdrop. You name it! She does everything for you!! Candice is so professional and easy to work with. She always responded quickly to our calls and emails, and was more than patient and accommodating with all of our requests. We must have changed the wedding colors and centerpieces a million times and it was never a problem. Even two days before the wedding when the groom decided to last-minute incorporate blue as an accent color, she found a way to make it work! During the planning process, we could hardly get a hold of our "wedding coordinator", which was very stressful.. But we knew everything would work out on the big day because Candice was on top of everything! And she assured us this every step of the way. On the day-of, Candice and her team were the very first ones at the venue ready to work their magic! Omg all the flowers and decor came out BEAUTIFUL!! She even added personal touches that were sentimental to the bride and groom. Soooo many compliments from all the guests!! Finding the Kandyland Events booth at the expo was such a blessing. Thank you so much Candice!! I can't even express how grateful I am to have met you! Highly recommend to any rustic bride. We will definitely be calling you again for future family weddings. You're the best in the biz!!
