With almost everything else in life, you have to choose between the fastest way, the most affordable way, or the best way - but with them you get all three! We've utilized their services for birthdays, a groom's dinner, our wedding, a baby shower... They are willing to work with us to provide what they can in the allotted time.

No matter our budget, they figure out a way to make the biggest impact for ourselves and our dear guests.

Our wedding was flawless, and we have Hovik to thank!…read more I was referred to Hovik through a mutual friend who hired him as her wedding planner. As soon as we met him, we knew he could do the job. What we didn't know was how he would take our wedding to the next level! Guests said this was an A+, first-class affair with many saying this was the best wedding they'd ever attended. (We were humbled) My wife and I had an amazing wedding - ceremony in our backyard, reception at Maggiano's. Hovik is so passionate about his job, and so detail oriented - nothing went to chance! He's amazing with design (everything was set up perfectly!), and he has a nearly magical ability to see any potential problems and fix them before you even know they're there! On top of how meticulous, creative and talented he is, he is also KIND. We love him and are eternally indebted.

Hovik was amazing to work with and a class act. He made sure we were on track during the months…read moreleading up to the wedding, and answered any questions we had along the way. During the week of the wedding, we were able to hand off a lot of to-dos over to him, and he kept all the wedding party, wedding guests, and vendors in line so nothing and nobody was ever lost or out of place. Whenever we remembered any missing detail in a panic during the wedding day, we actually didn't have to worry because he had already taken care of and scheduled down to the T. His attention to detail and ability to handle all of the "little" things extended long after the wedding ceremony and the party was winding down; he and his team transferred all the important items (gifts, flowers, guestbook, etc.) to our hotel suite. Having Hovik as our wedding coordinator was the smartest decision besides saying "I do!" We can't recommend him enough! Ten thumbs up!

We hired Mina for month-of coordination (which really starts about three months before the…read morewedding), and it was truly one of the best decisions we made. Even though I didn't mind some of the planning, there are so many moving parts, and having Mina step in made everything so much easier. Once we handed over all of our information like vendor contacts, guest list, décor details, etc., she took it from there. She kept track of vendor payments, followed up on requirements, and made sure every detail was aligned. She was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process and always made us feel taken care of. On the wedding day, the timeline was seamless, and we had total peace of mind knowing she was handling everything behind the scenes. We were able to just enjoy the day without worrying about a thing. If you're getting married soon, I highly recommend having a wedding coordinator, and Mina is an amazing one. Wedding planning can be overwhelming, and she truly makes the entire experience smoother and so much less stressful. Highly recommend!

She was…read moreso communicative and organized, and immediately gave us confidence that every detail would be handled. Mina helped us think through questions and details we hadn't even considered, approaching everything at such a thoughtful and granular level. She also worked closely with all of our vendors to make sure everything came together seamlessly, solving problems behind the scenes so we didn't have to stress. When something did need our input, she brought us in calmly and collaboratively, which made the process feel easy and grounded. On the day of, Mina worked tirelessly to keep everything running smoothly. She managed timing, vendors, and logistics with such care and precision, allowing us to be fully present and actually enjoy the day. We're so grateful for her professionalism, warmth, and calm energy -- she made the entire experience feel effortless.

My wedding was going to be 80% non Korean guests while the other 20% was either Korean church…read moremembers or friends of our parents. I needed an MC who can speak both languages PERFECTLY and be able to entertain our guests during the wedding reception. Where else to turn but Yelp? Luckily I found couple of MC's on Yelp who specializes in weddings and being able to speak both languages fluently. Although Johan wasn't my very first choice, he became my MC because of his fast response and eagerness to perform at our wedding. As a bride without a wedding coordinator, I was very busy dealing with all the different vendors and all the details that goes into a wedding. Future brides, invest in a wedding coordinator if you are NOT having a wedding at a restaurant or have more than 100 guests. Otherwise, you'll end up doing all the work where it's very crucial that the vendor you're interested responds back to your inquires within 24 hours. If Johan didn't respond back to my phone calls or emails within 48 hours, I would've moved on to someone else. However, he was very good at responding back to me and I knew he was the one who would take care of things without having me worry too much. When we met him for the very first time, we both liked his personality and how easy going it was to work with him. We talked about how he'll approach the audience and what types of jokes or games or etc he'll do to gain the "Korean" guests attention throughout the reception. I liked Johan's tactics on the types of games he'll have everyone participating and how those games will flow into our cake cutting time where ALL the guests will be watching us cut the cake! It was very important that the guests don't just eat and leave. Koreans tend to just eat and take the centerpiece and leave the reception even before the cake cutting. Johan first suggested how he's going to come up with the timeline so that no one leaves until the reception is over. Couple weeks later after that meeting, we decided that it's best to have professional lighting at the reception so that our pictures come out better. We had spent more of our wedding budget on our photographer (aside from the food of course) so it was crucial that the photographer had good lightening to work with. Johan also has a team that does lighting and it was convenient to do both the MC and lights through his company. On the day of the reception, I was approached by both Korean guests and friends about how they loved the MC! Everyone was blown away by his singing voice and was very impressed by his performance. At first the guests thought that he was LIP singing but quickly realized that this was his real voice singing LIVE. You want Johan to SING AT YOUR WEDDING!!!! For the most part, all the games grabbed everyone's attending and guests were having a great time. Although the day was a blur to me, I was able to revisit the day by looking through the photo's and seeing the guests laughing and having a good time (See photo) That itself is priceless and anyone having a wedding should definitely invest in hiring Johan as your next MC and consider having professional lighting done at your reception. Trust me, both of these would make a HUGE difference and you won't ever regret having to spend $$$ on these two important things. Spend less on your wedding dress and tux and skip the wedding favors. BOOK Johan!

Johan hosted my brother's wedding of 250-300 guests at the Ranch Golf club. As the wedding was…read moreplanned within 2 1/2 months, it was very important that our planning process was extremely thorough and that the vendors we worked with were professional, flexible and fun! Johan was so great with communication even though he was in LA and we were in SJ and knew exactly how to plan out the reception timeline, games, toasts, music, etc etc.. One of the winning factors was that he was a bilingual Korean wedding MC - as the wedding catered toward 40% Korean speakers and 60% English speakers. On the day of the wedding, we were actually all blown away because he started out singing to quiet the guests before the wedding party entrance and completely WOW - ed the crowd.. I mean.. WOW!!! I also appreciated the fact that Johan was able to time the reception and mood of the guests and change things around accordingly. He also recommended a new way for the bride to toss the bouquet which really captivated the guests and made it very memorable for us all. Overall, Johan was such a pleasure to work with and his Korean and English verbal skills were a huge plus. He was so great and I highly recommend him! Way to go Johan!!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Sixteenfourteen Events for our wedding, and we can…read moreconfidently say they were one of the best decisions we made. From full-service planning, vendor management, to day-of coordination, this team--especially our lead planner Renee and designer Jojo--went above and beyond every step of the way. What stood out the most was how deeply they cared about us and our wedding. On the wedding day, we fully trusted them to run the show, and because of that, we got to relax, eat, dance, and actually enjoy every moment of our night--something we know many couples don't get to say. Our guests even complimented how smooth and organized everything felt! The run-of-show was flawlessly executed, and the team handled everything seamlessly. Throughout the planning journey, they kept us on track with monthly checklists, shared timelines through Google Docs, and used Slack to make communication clear and efficient. As someone who's naturally indecisive, I truly appreciated their patience and guidance throughout all the big (and small) decisions. They communicated with all our vendors, scheduled meetings, and lifted so much weight off our shoulders. But the most emotional part for me was seeing our elegant Filipiniana vision come to life. There were so many cultural details we dreamed of incorporating but weren't sure were even possible. Renee, Jojo, and the Sixteenfourteen team brought them to reality in the most stunning way. I cried when I saw the venue--it was more than we ever imagined. Finances are usually something that stops people (we hesitated too!) from booking a planner because we think that we can do it our selves or task friends and family. But honestly with our busy schedules it was worth every penny. We got to enjoy our engagement year and also kept our friends and family stress free on top of it. It's so worth it. If you're looking for a planning team that is organized, professional, and truly invested in your day, I couldn't recommend Sixteenfourteen Events more. They didn't just help us plan a wedding--they gave us the gift of being fully present and joyful on one of the most important days of our lives.

My husband and I got married in June of this year and seriously could not have gotten through the…read moreweekend without SixteenFourteen Events! As you can tell this review is long overdue. We were referred to SFE by our DJ Raffy from Bilo Events. From the first meeting with founder Jojo we knew that this would be the perfect partnership - my husband and I didn't begin inquiring for a coordinator until about 6 weeks before the wedding but SFE delivered! Jojo worked with us and our budget and we couldn't be happier with being matched with Xala for our wedding. Throughout the next few weeks after signing our contract, we had a couple of planning calls via Google Meet and a final run through with vendors, but Xala was always available via text/email/phone call. Planning felt seamless! Now for the main event - Xala and Michelle (assistant to Xala for the wedding): I probably would have died without them!!! They were onsite for the rehearsal which was quick and as easy as could be when you consider having to guide your family. On the wedding day I forgot something major in my rental order and Xala and Michelle worked their butts off most of the morning to solve it - when they say things go wrong please believe it! But they made sure all I had to worry about was getting ready. With getting married in Indio in June, SFE dealt with family woes, forgotten rentals, set up, vendor struggles etc all while in 100+ degree heat. Xala and Michelle are true rockstars - you NEED to hire SFE for your next event! Even though we only knew each other for a few weeks, I truly felt like Xala became family and she understood all of the stress, excitement and all the other million feelings you go through when planning an event as huge and personal as a wedding. Xala's work ethic and personality helped us easily build a lot of trust with her and SFE. Her communication with not only us but the vendors and family/friends at the rehearsal, wedding, and post wedding was impeccable. Last but not least, we threw several curveballs and last minute changes (as any bride and groom would, regrettably) however Xala was more than willing to roll with the punches, deliver on all of our requests, and exceeded our expectations. I'm so happy to have had her and Michelle that day - they made it so that my husband and I could enjoy the most important day of our lives. 12/10 recommend !!!!!! We luv u Xala
