    Candice was our planner and day of coordinator for our recent wedding at Franciscan Gardens! We chose the skim milk package with a few add ons. Candice is SO organized and experienced and our wedding wouldn't have been so successful without her help. We live in the Bay Area but had our wedding in Orange County. Candice was instrumental in providing vendor recommendations within our budget since we don't live in the area. We definitely trusted her recommendations and all of the vendors she recommended were amazing and great to work with! One of the best things about her planning package is the Milk Events rentals. The rentals and styling kits are tasteful and modern and definitely cut down on decorations we needed to buy or DIY for candles, photo frames etc. Candice is no nonsense and will keep you on track on the day of. We were running a late on hair and makeup from the start but Candice helped get us back on track once we got to the venue, everything on the day of went smoothly. Candice and Milk Events was one of the best investments to help make our wedding day stress-free and I would highly recommend her and her team!

    Milk Events truly went above and beyond for my wedding! I have the highest recommendations for Candice, who was the dream wedding planner. She answered every question with intense detail, helped find solution for the many family issues that come up regarding weddings, and was such an amazing sounding board for all operational questions. She designed my wedding invites from scratch with my vague vision and seamlessly managed the entire schedule of events from beginning to end. She has an amazing team who helped pull it off. I couldn't imagine doing this without Milk Events and recommend them to everyone I know! Weddings are a lot to handle and deal with, so make sure you choose the perfect planner who can do it all. Milk Events is the one!!

    We needed a wedding (day of) coordinator and a friend had recommended Milk Events... omg best decision ever!!! Candice was AMAZING and I highly recommend her for your event. She's detailed-oriented, gets things done, and is the absolute sweetest! She has this calmness about her that just melts away any stress or worries you might have. I also wanted sparklers and she helped organize and make my dreams come true. I am so in love with that footage I seriously need her in real life Love you Candice!!!!

    Hiring Candice was the best money I spent for my wedding. I went with the 2% package which was the partial planning services in Feb 2020 for my Oct wedding. I came to Candice already having booked my venue, photo, hair/makeup, video and florals and she helped me fill in the rest. Candice was able to point me towards the perfect vendors to complete my wedding day (photobooth, rentals, tent, DJ, lighting) which saved me a ton of time researching on my own. During Covid, I postponed my wedding to Oct 2021 so we took a break in the planning. This May, we picked back up and started reimagining what the day would look like. The biggest change I made was turning my indoor, ballroom reception to an outdoor tent wedding to help guests feel more comfortable because of Covid. That was not an easy task because of my venue. I chose to get married at Santa Anita Park, which is a multi event space with horse races that whole weekend. It was a huge logistical nightmare because it limited our set up time and there were so many rules from the venue. I probably would've given up on the wedding had it not been for Candice tackling all the vendor set ups and communicating with the venue. There were so many inconveniences because of my venue but Candice handled each one of them so professionally and never made me feel stressed about it. I was in the calmest mood getting ready the morning of my wedding because I knew I was in good hands with Candice and her team. All my vendors were in the right place at the right time so just flowed from getting ready, first look, ceremony and reception. I couldn't have imagined it going any smoother. The Milk team transformed the ceremony and reception site and I received so many comments how beautiful everything was. Candice also went out of her way to create a tapestry stand for me the morning of my wedding because the one I brought would've ruined the vibe. I'm so thankful for Candice and her team for making my wedding a beautiful reality even through postponement and a stressful venue.

    Kristy was our planner and was absolutely amazing. My wife is a control freak and it's amazing how Kristy was able to handle her and all her needs. During the planning process she was organized and extremely on top of things. She would also be extremely honest giving us realistic expectations. Day of, we really couldn't have done it without her. There were apparently a few mishaps that was out of her control (DJ forgot something and had to run home, apparently it even rained). We didn't even find out about these things until weeks later! She is so professional, we didn't have a single worry. She took care of them and made sure everything worked for us. Kristy thinks of everything and will take care of you. Couldn't have had a better wedding.

    Booking Candice was the best decision we did during our wedding planning. She was very organized and was easy to communicate with. First time we met, she was already taking down notes about our visions and things that we want for our big day, she asked relevant questions and was already making suggestions/recommendations, even if we haven't booked with her yet. We felt at ease talking to her and she very transparent to us. After that meeting my then fiancé, now husband said "she's dope, and we are booking her!". We signed up with her 8 months prior to the wedding, we got the partial package (2%). Candice helped us with deciding which vendors to get and keep things within budget. She sent us this excel file of things that would help us during the planning, from deadlines, budgeting and day of activities. She would constantly check on us and make sure everything was on track. She coordinated with all vendors and created the day of timeline with everyone's contact information in there. Then came the big day, everything went well and boy, she worked hard to make sure everything goes smoothly. She was on top of things and her team did an amazing job. The whole time I had either her or her assistant next to me to make sure I was ok, she was even helping me change shoes, put on my veil and even buzzle my dress. She was very patient with answering the questions and demands of the moms/aunties, and made sure all the guests are happy. She was very impressive, all our family was saying after the event was "your coordinator was very nice", "Candice did a very good job", "Candice, kept her calm even if I kept on asking her questions and things" and so fort. Candice, you're a life saver and we are very thankful that we found you! We love you, and I hope you enjoyed at our wedding.

    Candice picked out the table display, did the table numbers, and fine-tuned the floral displays for this tablescape!

    My husband and I are currently based in NY and we knew we wanted to get married in the LA area because that's where we met. And since we're both resident physicians, we knew that we would not have the time or patience to do any of the things that are involved in planning a wedding (like talking to people? Nicely? And you can't say "stat" to make things happen immediately?). Candice, her team, and her whole milk package were the answers to our demanding prayers. Candice is the perfect mix of understanding and no-nonsense, and encouraged us to run with our quirky ideas but at the same time knew when to tell us when those ideas were running amok and we needed to rein it back a little. (A near verbatim response she had one time was, "Those are all good, but they're all over the place in terms of theme, and you need to pick one.") She understood our resident physician budget constraints in addition to our (at times, restricting) need to be different and not do anything too "played out." From the start, for every big decision that needed to be made (venue, photographer, catering, florals, etc), she would listen to our vague rambling about what we thought we wanted and would suggest 3-6 options in each category for us to choose from. The way she broke every decision up into tolerable bite-sized chunks (which were about as much as our attention spans can handle these days) made everything so easy and made this gargantuan task seem handleable. She checked in every so often with emails to make sure that we were on task with everything we needed to do, with the emails increasing in frequency closer to whatever deadline date we were chasing. She had an answer to every question and made all our design dreams come true, all under budget. We had a double happiness/steam basket display of dim sum for a late night snack, and she had stickers of us printed out and placed on those white folded Chinese takeout boxes so the guests could take dim sum home as favors. She made and painted our acrylic welcome/seating chart/all other signs. The personal touches she put on every detail of our wedding were incredible, and more than we could have imagined. On the day of, she and her team and their set of headsets that allowed for seamless communication also allowed for seamless execution. Her timeline had every detail of the day planned out and accounted for down to the minute, and she and her day of team made sure we didn't stray from it. The cleanup and breakdown was facilitated by her and her staff and we felt so secure that everything was taken care of that we could take the time and enjoy with our family and friends. If this review doesn't say it enough, I suggested Candice to one of my bridesmaids who's getting married next year and they signed with her and her whole milk package as well. If that's not a glowing recommendation, then I'm a pair of pants.

    **HIGHLY RECOMMENDED** It was an absolute delight to work with Candice. Like many couple who planned on a 2020 wedding, ours had to be rescheduled multiple times. Candice graciously walked us through everything we needed to take care of with so much care and compassion. Leading up to our big day, my now-wife and I had so many things we were stressed about, but Candice's keen ability to iron out details and clearly give instructions put our minds at ease. She provided us with REALISTIC ideas based on the budget we gave along with the timeframe that we had. With her long list of contacts, Candice was able to source many of the vendors we used (catering, rentals, etc.) including the venue that we decided to go with which took care many of the headaches we otherwise would have had to deal with. Simply put, if you are looking for a coordinator that is detail-oriented, caring, and has the ability to efficiently work through many of headaches, Candice and her team are the ones you will want to work with. Thank you Candice and Team! We are so forever thankful for everything you guys did for us.

She front loaded her fee, which I foolishly and naively paid. She did not deliver on caterer, or vendors. I found my own. She refused to be present during the event, and she refused to give me a refund. After cashing my check, things quickly went south. Her caterer couldn't cook the dishes I wanted served, so I found my own caterer. She was not happy with that, as planners traditionally get a cut from the caterer. The rental company rep showed up at my house without a price list, and Jordi and her told me how they were overbooked several months out and I needed to put a deposit down right away! ( Oct is not their busy season) I balked at their pricing and the quality I was getting for the $$ I was spending, and asked Jordi to get other bids. She refused, and even went one step further to tell me there were no other places that did lights and equipment ( false). I found my own. I ended up using another company that had superior products- shantung silk tablecloths, crystal stemware, and italian flatware and hundreds of feet more in string lights for less than half the price I would spend with Jordi's choice where I was stuck with cheap polyester, and low end flatware and glasses. We are talking about a difference of many many thousands of dollars. Staffing, Jordi sent an elderly lady in a footcast for the interview. She insisted that I hire two bartenders when there were only soft drinks and wine being served. She pushed exorbitantly priced appetizers which I didn't want. At each point I expressed my dissatisfaction. Then, Jordi then told me she wouldn't be present during the event, as she 'wasn't needed", and so I would have to use her "vetted staff". This was outrageous. Her choice was physically not up to the task. I found other trustworthy staffing. At this point, I fired Jordi, and asked for a refund. Jordi has refused to give me a refund. She has blatantly refused, despite failing to perform on every task. My party was elegant and beautiful, no thanks to Jordi. She caused me nothing but aggrevation. She didn't come through in any form or fashion, and she has refused to give me a refund.

We actually attended another wedding that Joanna coordinated before we were preparing for ours. Joanna was on our radar because that wedding party had high praise for her. We interviewed a couple other wedding coordinators during our search, but Joanna was the most organized and prepared, and the most enthusiastic of all. She gave us a great presentation and asked all the right questions during our introductory meeting; we felt at ease. Even though her fees are higher, the peace of mind is priceless. After we hired Joanna, she gave us a list of recommended vendors and a week-by-week to-do checklist, which made the wedding planning process easier. We were on our own for the most part, and at times we were skeptical whether we made a mistake hiring J.Soiree, but once the 8-week countdown began, Joanna was very active to connect with all of our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. She was very responsive with emails; my email notification was constantly going off with updates. We worked side by side to make all the final details that we didn't think of - like linens for the different tables, the drapery for the stage, etc. We were very much at ease. We definitely put Joanna to work on our wedding day. We were completely hands-off, and Joanna was running the show, and with flying colors. She created and followed a timeline detailed to the minute, and it went off without a hitch (that we know of). We were amazed and excited to see the whole event coming together, and more importantly how stress-free we were. All of our guests and even our vendors had a great time, and all praised on how well our wedding was put together. We couldn't take the credit, as it was Joanna who oversaw the event. So, thank you Joanna, for creating an amazing event for us that we will cherish for the rest of our lives together. Again, if you're looking for a wedding coordinator, with J.Soiree you can be as worry-free as we were and will be in great hands.

The Ella Ballroom comfortably fit our 100 planned guests and provided the perfect setting--elegant and intimate. Although I didn't get to try the food myself (too busy hosting!), our guests raved about the buffet: creamy seafood pasta, pasta pomodoro, and chicken toscano. So I know it had to be good! We also gave the bartenders a few custom drink recipes, and not only were they able to make them with all the right ingredients--they were sooo good! The bartender was quick, efficient, and even delivered drinks to seated guests during the program, which was such a thoughtful touch. I highly recommend Noor for any special occasion. Thank you to the entire team for making my dad's retirement celebration so memorable!
