‼‼ DO NOT BOOK LILAC AND LACE AS YOUR WEDDING COORDINATORS ‼‼…read more We had Lilac and Lace @lilacandlacesd as our coordinators for our 10/11/2025 wedding in Orange County, CA. [For context: ~230 guests, Vietnamese-American wedding with 12pm Catholic mass ceremony + 5pm reception at a museum.] I hope and pray that no other bride/groom will experience the level of stress, frustration, and disappointment that we did on our wedding day. I will say that leading up to our wedding, our calls/texts with Ariana (owner) were helpful; it was the day-of services that failed us when we needed them most. Ariana notified us 9/29 via email that she needed to have surgery the following week and would be handing off our day to a different coordinator (Kez) and assistant, as well as providing another assistant for free - she assured us we were in good hands. (As a nurse, I completely understand prioritizing health and how difficult it is to get urgent surgeries scheduled, and fully agreed with Ariana that it was the right thing for her to do.) First, Kez and her team DID NOT SHOW UP TO OUR CEREMONY. Multiple logistical/crowd control issues occurred during/after our mass, which would have been prevented by the presence of a coordinator. Ariana states this was due to a miscommunication and took responsibility for this. The call time at the reception venue was 2pm, Kez did not arrive until 2:30pm and one of the assistants did not arrive until after 3pm (as 3pm is when my husband and I arrived on-site and we were informed by Kez that the other assistant was on her way.) The assistants never introduced themselves to us, I can't even tell you their names. When we arrived, Kez did not know about our outfit changes or where our grand entrances were from; this was covered in detail at our venue walkthrough (which was only attended by Ariana, and should have been communicated to Kez.) Other errors that occurred during the night: songs switched for parents' grand entrances (Kez then asked if we wanted our parents to reenter, obviously not as that would be extremely embarrassing and disruptive), our second grand entrance in our traditional attire not caught on photo/video because Kez did not notify them on time (again Kez asked if we wanted to reenter), Kez asking us if we were ready for the MC to announce cake cutting even though we wanted unannounced cake cutting , failure to announce last call on our late-night food truck so there was a lot of extra - the list goes on. Again, these were all covered in detail during planning calls and at the walk through. Ariana assured us that a coordinator/team member would be with us at all times during the reception - however, we could not find them at multiple points throughout the night. My MOH ended up coordinating the majority of the evening and handling communication with the coordinators, as I was on the verge of tears every time I had to see them. Kez and her two assistants spent nearly 20 min tying a ribbon onto our welcome sign (which we did not ask them to do), our photographer actually had to shoo them out of the background of a shot. Lilac and Lace's coordination packages also promised free content creation with raw photo/video and a real delivered within 72hrs of the event - we never received this. We sent a strongly worded email to the company, and received an apology response that was very emotional but did not take full accountability. We have received a 50% refund although we requested a FULL refund. If you have only one takeaway from this review, let it be this: Booking Lilac and Lace for our wedding was our greatest regret - their unprofessionalism, lack of accountability, and inability to coordinate RUINED our day. Please PLEASE book someone else to be your wedding coordinator - we wish we had. (Wish we had seen Denice M's Yelp review beforehand as her experience sounds eerily similar to ours) UPDATE: As of 1/26/26 we have received a thoughtful and sincere apology via email and the full refund.

She was so easy to communicate with, she completely got what I was wanting, and the party turned out better than I could have imagined (and my expectations were pretty high) My daughter basically didn't stop making potions the whole time. All the kids loved it with ages ranging from 2 to 10. And it went above and beyond my own wildest fairy world, enchanted garden dreams. I have a strong aesthetic and I'm quite picky. Janet set up the most beautiful area, with such amazing attention to detail. Again, words could never do her justice. She will be the best birthday party decision you've ever made. I can't wait to work with her again.

They were super helpful and talented in working with the space I had and were knowledgeable about which pieces they thought would work the best in each area. Delivery was prompt and easy, as was pick up. Will definitely be using them again for future parties... they have the cutest stuff and are so reasonably priced compared to the rest of the vendors out there!

For a party, it's very much like renting a private park, but you have access to bathrooms, electricity, the animals, etc. Peggy was so helpful and knowledgeable. I really couldn't have done it without her help, and I felt the cost was very reasonable. For science camp, their teacher, Lisa, is fabulous and also taught my other daughter back when my now-freshman was in preschool. They did so many fun, age-appropriate activities and she was always so tired out from all the playing. We will certainly be back again. Now I'm hoping to find time in our busy schedule for the play times they offer as well.

Gardenworks is a gem of a place for little kids. There was something to discover anywhere you go on the property. The kids had SO much fun. We did the planting and scavenger hunt activity and that was a hit. The kids were excited to take their plants home. Also, we got there a little later than we planned to set up because we hit unexpected traffic and upon arrival Peggy and her two lady helpers were amazing, went straight to helping us set up our table and decorations (was so grateful for that). They listed to what I needed and made it happen. Highly recommend this place will be back again for sure!

I saw a package available on Groupon for a catered four course dinner for 4 people and thought I'd…read moregive this chef a chance. I paid $200 for this dinner, which was supposedly 75% off normal price. By my calculation, that would mean the normal price would be $200 per person and so I thought it should be pretty nice. When I scheduled for my birthday, Ben Root (the chef), gave me two options, chicken or salmon. I asked him how that was an $800 value as the groupon said. This was disappointing to me, but I went ahead and picked the salmon. The week before my birthday, I confirmed with him that we were still all good for the dinner, which I would have expected him to do. He did say we were on for the following week and I was excited to have somebody else cook for my birthday. On the morning of my birthday, he sent an email saying he had to cancel. He also said that he would honor my groupon past the expiration date and we would re-schedule. At this point, it became impossible to reach him and when I did, he never had any dates available. I tried at this point to get a refund for the groupon, but when they contacted the chef, he said he was going to provide me the meal. We finally agreed on a date, which was supposed to be tomorrow night Sept 8. I contacted him a couple days ago to find out, again, if we were all set. I just now received another email canceling on me. I have gotten a refund from groupon. This chef is extremely unreliable and unprofessional, as well as being dishonest with the services he puts out there. If he is going to offer a deal that is an $800 value, he should provide that. My intent was to try him out and then hire him for a larger party in the future. I can guarantee you that I would never hire him.

From start to finish, everything was handled with such care, professionalism, and attention to detail--it made our day feel effortless and unforgettable. A huge thank you to Will for his clear, thoughtful communication from the very beginning. He took the time to walk us through every detail, answer all of our questions, and make us feel completely confident in the process. Petr was also incredibly helpful throughout the planning process--so kind, enthusiastic, and genuinely a joy to work with. We especially loved getting to meet both him and Will in person at their incredible food tasting, which made us even more excited (and confident!) about our choices. The food was truly out of this world and deserves a special shoutout. During cocktail hour, guests raved about the hummus and pita, bacon-wrapped dates, arancini balls, and mini beef Wellingtons--each bite was flavorful and perfectly prepared. For dinner, we chose a dual entrée of salmon and pork served with seasonal vegetables and truffle mashed potatoes, and it exceeded every expectation. Multiple guests told us it was some of the best salmon they've ever had. The vegetarian curry cauliflower steak was also absolutely delicious and such a standout dish. We heard over and over again that this was the best wedding food our guests had ever experienced--and as the bride and groom, we completely agree! All of their partnered vendors were excellent and we feel so lucky to have been connected with all of them through Abbey. Mishele's floral arrangements were nothing short of stunning--every piece was beautifully designed and elevated the entire atmosphere of our event. We received so many compliments on the flowers! Renato and everyone at SugarBear Sweet Provisions absolutely blew us away with the cake and cupcakes--they were not only gorgeous but also incredibly delicious. Our guests are still talking about them! Tareq was a joy to work with, and he even brought out his drone to use to capture footage of our special day! We cannot wait to see his wedding video, he is so talented. DJ Brain was incredible!!! His communication was excellent, and he brought so much positive energy to our event, set up our mic stands seamlessly, and got everyone onto the dance floor! My mom said she looked around at one point, and didn't see a single person of the 114 guests sitting down at the tables during the reception. Chuck was truly a standout throughout the entire day. His coordination was flawless, ensuring everything ran seamlessly behind the scenes. We had so many small décor items, and he set up every single detail perfectly--it honestly exceeded anything we could have imagined. At one point, he even found double-sided sticky tape to make sure our candles stood up straight on every table. He went above and beyond in every way--bringing us plates of appetizers during cocktail hour and even surprising us with passionfruit mojitos throughout the night without us having to ask. That level of attentiveness meant so much to us. And finally, the Abbey service staff were exceptional--professional, attentive, and incredibly kind. They made sure our guests were well taken care of and contributed so much to the overall experience. We are beyond grateful to this entire team for making our event so special. Every detail was thoughtfully executed, and we felt completely taken care of the entire time. If you are getting married or planning an event in San Diego, do yourself a favor and book this team--you will not find a more talented, organized, and genuinely caring group of people. They exceeded every expectation and then some. Highly, highly recommend!

From the start Will, who signed us up, was most helpful and really knew his information. We clicked instantly and it was such a pleasure to talk with him and meet him in person. We signed up for the tasting before signing with Abbey Catering and that was such a great experience. We got to meet Will in person and there was so much food to try and luckily bring home. After meeting Will we really had a great feeling and signed up within that week. The food was incredible at the tasting, and it was hard choosing which entrée and hours d'oeuvres to choose from since everything was so good. Chuck, our wedding coordinator, was beyond great and so helpful. He was such an asset to have on our side and really made the day go smooth. He was also so friendly and great to work with. We really felt like we made friends with our Abbey team There were absolutely no hiccups whatsoever and I was so calm the whole day. David, our catering lead, was another amazing team member. He was right there to offer us food first and make sure we had enough of our share. The rest of the catering team always made us a priority too and I was very hungry after the ceremony in between pictures so that was so great. We ordered the following for tray passed hors d'oeuvres: petite beef wellington, wild mushroom arancini, bruschetta, and bacon wrapped stuffed dates. We opted for the dual entrée of the boneless short ribs, and the panko-herb crusted chicken with vegetables and the truffle smashed potatoes. All were so good and I wish I could eat them all again Our guests could not stop raving about the food. They even made dietary restriction meals for several of our guests, and they said it was one of the best vegan/vegetarian meals they have ever had. We really were impressed with the food and so glad we went with Abbey as that was important for us to have really good tasting food. We opted for the whole package with their vendors for flowers, DJ, photographer, and cake. Best decision ever!!! We had Emerald and Ivy for the florist and my goodness Mishele, and the Abbey team put together exactly what I pictured in my mind! Such beautiful flowers and we rented bud vases and candles from her. DJ Abel from the Wedding Entertainment Collective was beyond amazing! He played our songs and knew the vibes we were going for. The dance floor was a hit, and our guests were dancing the whole night. Everyone was telling us the DJ was so good! Misha, our photographer, was amazing and made us feel so comfortable. The pictures are so beautiful! The cake and mini cupcakes from Sugar Bears Sweet Provisions were out of this world! I'm so glad we saved our wedding cake because we ate it the next day. Our guests loved the mini cupcakes too and we even had enough to give out at treats and take home. We really are so grateful we decided to go with Abbey catering. They really went above and beyond. The whole team, Will, Chuck, David, and the caterers were 10 out of 10 Thank you so much and to the Abbey vendors for making our day even more special!
