    Literally the best of the best wedding planners out there. Cindy and her team was amazing. Hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. Because of her team, I found the best florist, photographer, videographer. Everything! I cannot think of a bad decision we made while planning our wedding. (And you bet I'm picky!) My family and friends all raved about how on top they were. Everything went super smooth with no hick-ups for our wedding. I've been working with Cindy for pretty much 2 years planning the wedding since our wedding was postponed due to Covid. Cindy is so patient with me and super detail oriented. Cindy went above and beyond helping me with not just my wedding but my tea ceremony as well. And you have to see their day of schedule. It was sooo detailed down to 5 min interval. My wedding party was sooo amazed how detailed it was. Shasele and rest of MLE team was so on top of it the day of. Whatever you need, they got it ready. I remember minutes before we were about to walk down the aisle, the best man button on his jacket fell off. Thank god for Cindy. She fixed it within min and we were ready to walk down the aisle with no delay! Thank you so much Cindy and MLE team. We seriously could not have gotten married without you guys. Our wedding was more than I could of hoped for. It was perfect! Thank you so much and we seriously love you guys!

    Looking back on the whole wedding experience, hiring Cindy for full planning of our wedding was the BEST decision we made. Through all the changes that the pandemic threw our way, Cindy switched gears to plan a wedding in Lake Louise, Canada to Maui, Hawaii to (finally) an elopement on Lambert's Cove Beach, Martha's Vineyard! Her attention to detail, efficiency and responsiveness, and knowledge of the wedding industry is unrivaled. From an itemized budget sheet to reminders to payments due to reviewing vendor contracts and navigating potential disasters the day of (weather report said thunderstorm and HAIL on the day of our beach ceremony, AND shuttle bringing our guests broke down in the middle of pick ups!), Cindy handles each aspect of your wedding with care and ease. Save your sanity and hire MLE!

    I honestly wish I could give MLE more than 5 stars because they did such a phenomenal job at planning and executing our wedding we held in October. My husband and I live in New York but we decided to do our wedding in his home state, California. From opposite coasts, we worked with Cindy and her team for over a year. Wedding planning can be overwhelming but Cindy made everything so much easier. Her attention to detail, picking up on things we would've never thought of, and keen sense of our likes/dislikes really made the whole process smoother and added more excitement to our big day. We met up with her a couple of times to iron out the details, but she made sure our time was put to good use when we were in CA and helped us for anything we couldn't do in person. Cindy also has a lot of amazing vendors she's worked with before, which made choosing dessert vendors, wedding cake bakery, photographers/ videographers, and photo booth companies easier. She was also mindful of our budget- always negotiating with the local vendors, and finding us many options that fit our ideal wedding within our budget range. On the day of our wedding- everything felt perfect and my husband and I had the most memorable day in our lives. We were able to enjoy each and every moment of our big day with absolutely no stress- Cindy and her team made sure everything was running smoothly and we were having the best of times. We miss working with Cindy and her team but hope our friends and family will contact her for their weddings soon :) Thank you so much Cindy- hope we see you very soon!

    Cindy has been an incredible part of our wedding journey. We started with her a year and a half in advance of our wedding and she helped us through our turbulent life of moving from NYC to LA, job changes, etc. It started with her planning our engagement party when we were still living in NYC and the event was in OC. The party went so well and after that I knew we were in such good hands... I trusted her judgement immensely and she put together an event that was exactly what I envisioned. She is extremely responsive and for someone that has a pretty hectic life, I felt like the wedding process was extremely easy... I got a lot of "you don't seem stress" comments and I just told them I have an amazing wedding planner :) Go with Cindy and team. They nailed it and truly put together a day that was so much fun and perfect. If this is not a testament to Cindy's meticulous planning.... I was not stressed at all during the wedding day. I literally had so much fun with my bridesmaids. We had nothing to worry about except looking pretty and having fun.  Also, if you're Vietnamese and you have Vietnamese parents that think it is also their wedding and want an input on everything...., even more reason to go with Cindy. She knows how to work the parents and my parents are really hard to impress and they absolutely LOVE her.   Thank you Cindy!! I'm going to miss working with you and thank you for creating the best day of our life!

    MLE came highly recommended by a friend who had attended a few of their weddings. We are very glad we went with them. Cindy was very friendly and gave us realistic recommendation and suggestions based on our budget during our initial phone call. After we enlisted MLEs service (adore package), we were put in contact with Shasele. Shasele was extremely detail oriented, responsive, friendly, flexible, and easy to work with, especially since we were planning the wedding from out of state. Shasele made our wedding planning process very easy and smooth. She also attended a site meeting for us because we couldn't make it. My bridesmaids who had been in other weddings applauded at how on time the wedding went and how detailed Shasele was with the planning. Of all our vendors, MLE was best decision we made! We were very happy with the service we got from MLE and would definitely want to work with them in the future for other milestones in life!

    My husband and I hired Cindy for our "month of" wedding planner. Cindy and her team went above and beyond to make our day run smoothly and stress free. She is very organized, super friendly and detail oriented. She took care of everything for us from getting contracts from our vendors to tipping our vendors on the day of. If you're in need of a wedding planner look no further Cindy and her team at Mad Love Events are it! Highly highly recommend to everyone (:

    My wife and I are so grateful for having Cindy as our wedding planner! We had several issues to deal with, from COVID-19 restrictions to budgetary matters. She reached out to vendors, gave us several great options for photographers and videographers, and she helped us find a beautiful concept for our wedding that reflected both of our cultural backgrounds. We are eternally indebted to her and her team for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

    Incredible wedding planner! Cindy was so helpful with all the craziness and changes during Covid including our venue falling apart last minute and finding a new one. I couldn't imagine someone better than Cindy, plus she's very friendly and simplifies everything to make things easier and was absolutely amazing on the actual wedding day. I would highly recommend Cindy and her team for your wedding or any event

    I'm the type of person who usually could not be bothered to write reviews. However, I was so impressed by Claire and her team that I had to. Our wedding on 9/23/17 went without a hitch thanks to Mad Love Events. Claire is very professional, experienced, organized, and responsible. She went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding was perfect. From the first visit to the day of the wedding, Claire helped to keep us on a timeline and address details that we did not think of. Prior to the wedding, Claire put together an itinerary that impressed every vendor and wedding party. Mad love events coordinated with all of our vendors and venues and organized the events on the day of the wedding. We literally had nothing to worry about and fully enjoyed our wedding. I think what sets Mad Love Events from other wedding planners is not only their responsiveness and professionalism, but also their vision, flexibility, friendliness that made this stressful time an enjoyable one. If you're on the fence about paying for a planner, just do it. The planners help with details that you will overlook. For those looking for a planner, look no further. It doesn't get better than this. We are recommending Mad Love to all our friends and family.

    The table Cindy designed for us without directions from us. I obviously we loved it!

    There will never be enough words to express how truly grateful we are for the incredible Aquafuzion…read moredream team. I've been following them since I was 14, and from the very beginning, I knew they would be a nonnegotiable for my wedding--and now, I can say with 100% certainty that choosing them was one of the best decisions we made. From day one, Debbie, Alondra, Stephanie, Rachel, Presilla, Frida, and Adriana poured their hearts into every single detail. They weren't just our wedding planners--they were our designers, our florists, our coordinators, our late-night therapists (yes, answering 1 AM and 2 AM texts!), and truly our fairy godmothers. Every event they touched--from our bridal shower to the big day--was pure magic. They helped us contact vendors, designed and created our stunning invitations, and even arranged florals for our bridal shower. On the wedding day itself, they were everywhere, making sure timelines were followed to the minute, guests were taken care of, vendors were managed, and every single detail was flawless. They even made sure we and our loved ones were fed, hydrated, and happy--which might sound small, but trust me, it's everything on a day like that. Austin and I didn't have to think twice about anything. They were ten steps ahead of us at all times. Their eye for detail, impeccable organization, and genuine care made this feel like the epitome of luxury service. And somehow, on top of all that, they still made us feel like family--like they were personally invested in making sure our day was unforgettable. I'm already dreaming up our next event just so we can work with them again. If you're looking for wedding planners, designers, florists--humans--who will pour their heart and soul into your day, look no further. Aquafuzion isn't just a vendor--they're a blessing.

It far exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be happier that we chose them! The team was consistently organized, proactive, and responsive, always staying on top of timelines and logistics. What stood out most was their willingness to go above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. Many of our questions and concerns related to both planned/unexpected situations were always anticipated and addressed before we even had to ask. Their professionalism gave us peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our wedding day without any stress. All of the vendors recommended by them such as the venue and DJ/MC were excellent. Also, our cake by the recommended bakery looked amazing and tasted delicious! Thanks to Aquafuzion, everything ran smoothly and beautifully. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dedicated team to plan/fulfill their big day!

My husband and I are Chinese Vietnamese Americans and we wanted our wedding to be modern in addition to honoring both our parents/families, Asian heritage and culture. We found My Wedding Songbird and immediately matched with Sarah. We are so lucky to work with Sarah (she is very experienced and well versed in Asian cultural weddings); Sarah made the whole process organized and actually enjoyable. As my wedding planner and coordinator, she was with me every step of the way. She helped us find great vendors to work with (DJ, tea ceremony host, trilingual MC, videographer, linens, and stationery) and was respectful of our wedding budget. Sarah genuinely wants her clients to have the wedding of their dreams and she and MWS team definitely delivers! We chose Sarah and MWS because they matched what we were looking for: honoring our Asian heritage by offering tea ceremony package and being well versed in Chinese wedding traditions, and introducing us to an entertaining MC/host who was both fluent in English, Cantonese, and Vietnamese! And if you know you know, these Asian MCs are must have entertainers during a wedding reception! Aside from the best vendors Sarah brought to our wedding, Sarah was also our coordinator and our wedding day was seamless and organized. Sarah and MWS team took care of everything behind the scenes which allowed for my husband and I to truly enjoy our wedding day to the fullest. We are both very happy with the wedding outcome. To note, we chose the partial package of the wedding planning because we wanted to have some control; we did not feel like the services provided was insufficient. Sarah makes an effort to get to know your vision during the wedding planning process regardless. But if you don't have the time to plan, trust in the process and trust me, you'll be in good hands. Sarah will definitely take care of you! Our wedding day was executed so well that we still get compliments on how enjoyable our wedding day was!

She was extremely kind, patient, and creative.

Despite COVID, she was able to teach us safely, outdoors and with masks, and taught us how to dance in a way where we could use the same knowledge in the future. Instead of going straight into choreography for our wedding song, she taught us some moves that later we would be able to put together into the full song. To be honest I was very hesitant and a bit stressed about learning a dance for the wedding, but she gave us the building blocks and showed through her teaching the confidence I needed to dance on our special day. She knew our level of dance knowledge (which was basically zero) and she knows just what to look out for (ie. smile more, practice with wedding shoes) in order for brides to look their best on the big wedding day. She (and her husband David) are incredibly patient with their students, as they truly care about who they are working with. I truly am so thankful for such great teachers! Definitely recommend for your wedding choreography needs. She will work with you, no matter what type of dance (& difficulty) you're looking for!

Whenever we thought of something that we thought was complicated, she would immediately have a solution that she could execute seamlessly. For things we didn't have much of an opinion on, Candice always knew what was best given our preferences, but always presented us with options just in case we wanted to go a different way. She kept us on track throughout the process, and when things got stressful for us closer to the date, she stepped in and took a lot off of our plate. Everything at the wedding went extremely smoothly. We had no stress, everything was taken care of. We were able to enjoy our wedding completely carefree. I usually keep a to do list of everything that needs to get done in life to make sure nothing slips through the cracks, even if its not something that I need to do. I tend to keep that list even when I'm fairly confident the other person will complete that task. With Candice, I felt comfortable not keeping that list, and just trusting she would take care of everything, which she did. But just the fact that I was able to get comfortable enough with Candice easy on to not keep that list was such a huge relief. Normally when I go to a wedding, I can identify the planner, but I tend to not have a strong opinion about the planner. Many of our guests commented on how smoothly everything ran with Candice and her team. She made a uniquely positive impression on our guests.

The level of detail they put into every aspect of the event is impressive--they truly go above and beyond. Ellen is absolutely amazing to work with. She thinks in angles you wouldn't even imagine, bringing a depth of experience, resourcefulness, and creativity that makes your vision come to life effortlessly. Whether you're starting from scratch or already have ideas, she guides you every step of the way, helping you stay on budget while knowing exactly where to save and where to splurge. I've personally used Sky Meadow for my baby's dohl and have since referred Ellen to all my friends and family--everyone has been just as thrilled with her work. Coming from someone with an event coordinating background, I can confidently say she is incredibly valuable, and I will always turn to her for any event I have. If you want a stress-free, beautifully executed event with someone who truly cares and delivers, Sky Meadow and Ellen are the ones to trust. You will not regret it!

    I used SMP for my son's dohl and they smashed it out of the park! From the initial phone calls to…read morethe many check-ins from Ellen, I felt like we were very well taken care of. Ellen is a wizard when it comes to creativity and ideas. I asked for a Pride and Prejudice meets Bridgerton vibe for our baby boy, and she definitely delivered. She came up with the entire concept and was able to make our dohl dreams come true! Her team is also on top of it. I was impressed with how much they actually build on the day of the event! They're amazing. We did the emcee package (without Ellen and with another one of her staff members) and they all did a fantastic job making our event run smoothly and keeping us on schedule. If you're looking for a company to put together a dohl to remember, def hit up SMP!

    Helen was such a wonderful month-of coordinator for our wedding: extremely detail-oriented,…read morefriendly, helpful, experienced, a joy to work with. She recommended amazing vendors who will all be getting 5 star reviews from us too (check out Meredith from Zoom Theory if you need an amazing event photographer in the Los Angeles area -- so grateful to Helen for helping us find her!). Overall, we are so glad to have met Helen and have her guide us through this experience. Without her things would have been chaotic and stressful. But with her help we were able to create one of the best days ever! Our wedding was at La Venta Inn in Palos Verdes; Helen had worked at the venue many times; our event went off without a single hitch; everything was absolutely perfect. Emphatic 5 stars from us.

Helen is responsive to emails and phone calls from beginning to end. She has her own staff and a top notch assistant, Chad. We combed through quite a few other planners and ultimately decided on Helen and Eighteen Place Cards. We too read the reviews and were not too sure how legitimate all of the 5 star ratings were, so we really gave Helen the 3rd degree, 10 months before the wedding date. Specifics: Helen checked in with us regarding every single detail from the venue [The Noor], ALL of our vendors, and remained on top of it all every step of the way. She was constantly going the extra mile at every turn and never once did she drop the ball, or fail at any of the tasks! We were demanding and we put a lot on her shoulders, but she proved to us she knew her job and performed extremely well. Helen and her team always responded with a 'can do attitude', while maintaining a professional demeanor. To say that we are grateful to have done business with Helen, would be a complete understatement. She and Chad are dedicated to getting the job done, no matter what. Everything came together perfectly as a result of her planning, execution and commitment. My daughter's wedding day was a total success because of Helen, Eighteen Place Cards, Chad and the rest of her staff. The proof is in the pudding. All of our guests commented on how nice everything was and how much fun they had. I know for a fact this was a direct result of Helen's passion and dedication to her profession. To sum it all up, I will most definitely utilize Helen for future events. She is worth every dollar we spent, and more. My entire family thanks you very kindly Helen. Respectfully, Ralph G.

    This month, my wedding was held as scheduled, and it received praise from all the guests. However,…read moreI truly cannot take credit for its success, as without Mandy, Dorris, Cecilia, and the other Amormagic staff who were present that day, the wedding would not have gone so smoothly. Looking back, when we decided to plan the wedding within six months, we were overwhelmed because there were simply too many choices, and we didn't know where to start. Fortunately, I came across Amormagic's wedding samples on Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book), and I was immediately captivated by their attention to detail and their keen sense of aesthetics. After sending them a message, I received a reply the very next day, and we quickly scheduled a video call. Mandy gave me a very professional first impression, asking me many questions I had never even thought about. Since my husband and I are both people who dislike hassle and lack creative ideas, we quickly decided to entrust Mandy with the entire wedding design and planning. Throughout the process, I deeply felt that hiring Mandy and her team for wedding planning was worth every penny--truly "value for money." Below is a summary of their services: Key Features: Quick Responses, Always Available, Patient, and Thoughtful During the wedding design process, there were many things I had never heard of or didn't understand. Mandy and Dorris always replied within a few hours, patiently explaining the differences between each option and how they applied to me. Actively Listened to Client Needs, Focused on Key Points, and Organized Since I had never imagined what my wedding would look like, Mandy and Dorris asked me about my preferences in movies and art, and they surprisingly designed a floral color scheme that left me in awe at first glance. They also cleverly incorporated elements from both my and my husband's cultural backgrounds, filling the design with thoughtful details. After the wedding, many guests praised the stunning little touches, and they were particularly delighted with the seating cards, which doubled as gifts. Clear Division of Labor and Smooth Communication From the design phase to the on-site arrangements on the wedding day, everything was well-organized. Every question I had was answered by a dedicated person, making communication seamless. High-Quality, Professional Vendors All the vendors recommended by Mandy exceeded my expectations. The floral arrangements, table linens, cake, DJ, and bridal makeup all delivered top-notch results. A Stress-Free Wedding Day On the wedding day, all the staff were highly professional and dedicated to their roles. The entire event went off without a hitch, except for a minor delay in the cake-cutting ceremony because I got carried away chatting with guests. Cecilia did give me a subtle hint with her eyes that it was time to move on, but I just couldn't help myself. As someone who never dreamed of being a princess but instead admired Heidi running through wildflowers, I am deeply grateful to Mandy and Dorris for uncovering this unspoken dream of mine and bringing it to life. They turned one of the most important days of my life from a vague idea into a beautiful and unforgettable reality.

    If we could give 10 stars, we absolutely would! From the very beginning of the planning process all…read morethe way through our wedding day, Mandy and her team went above and beyond in every possible way. Right after we decided on our wedding date, we started searching for a planner and came across Amormagic on RedNote. Their portfolio immediately caught our attention. They were so professional, patient, and incredibly detail-oriented. Every question we had -- no matter how big or small -- was answered quickly and thoughtfully. They guided us through every step with calmness and confidence, and their organization gave us complete peace of mind leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, everything ran flawlessly. The setup was stunning, the timeline flowed perfectly, and every little detail was handled so seamlessly behind the scenes that we never had to stress about anything. We could truly just be present, enjoy every moment, and spend time with our guests. The day honestly went by so fast -- we wish we could slow down time and relive it all over again because it was just that magical. From the emotional moments to the laughter and joy, everything felt effortless and beautifully coordinated thanks to this amazing team. We're beyond grateful for their support, care, and dedication. Thank you for making our wedding day not only perfect, but also deeply meaningful and unforgettable We couldn't have asked for a better planner or team -- highly, highly recommend to any couple who wants their dream wedding to come to life without the stress!
