We hired Diana as a full-service wedding planner for our wedding at The Meritage Resort in…read moreSeptember 2025. Diana was an AMAZING wedding planner!! I'll break my review up into two components (plannings vs. day of), but our day could not have been more perfect or run more smoothly thanks to her and her team. Planning: From the start, we were impressed by Diana's organization and pragmatism. She has a great sense of what is "worth it" in terms of budget, and how to maximize impact for things like décor and flowers. This was extremely helpful, as we felt as though we were making good use of our budget, and were not pressured to overspend in any way. Choosing individual vendors was something that really overwhelmed me (there are so many great options!). Diana made this process seamless! At the start of our planning journey, we had a long discussion about what we were looking for in each vendor (e.g., photography style, entertainment type, floral colors, etc.) and our budget. She would send us 3-5 recommendations for each vendor and we would review and discuss. Obviously, if we wanted to see more options she would send them, but this really cut down on our stress and made this part of planning very straightforward. She also went through the entire design process with us, and put together a very detailed and helpful "mood board" that she shared with our florist, making that process super easy as well. Additionally, she was also extremely helpful in managing our vendors without letting us feel any stress. Our venue created some difficulties and could be frustrating to work with at times, and Diana did a TON of work in the background / back channeled with them to resolve any issues and keep things running smoothly. As we got closer to the day of, we had additional calls with her and all of our vendors to discuss the timeline. Diana created a VERY detailed, easy-to-follow timeline for the day before and day of. She also made a version for our families and bridal party that we could circulate. It was extremely helpful to have all of the timeline information in one place, and have the assurance that all of our vendors were on board with the timeline and could execute it easily. Day Of: Our day of could not have been better thanks to Diana and her team! They arrived early to the venue and ensured that everything was moving along with set up at the ceremony site and in the ballroom. My husband and I truly felt no stress the day of because we knew that all of the vendors were prepared and Diana was on it. We had a few timeline-related hiccups later in the day when our ceremony ran long (not Diana's fault!!) and she was quick to step in and make on-the-fly changes for the rest of the evening to make sure that things kept running smoothly. And the whole day was totally seamless as a result! All in all, I would wholeheartedly recommend Diana for any wedding or event planning. She was warm, kind, organized, and pragmatic, and my husband, both of our families, and I loved working with her. Could not recommend more!!

We worked with Diana for the past year and a half to plan our wedding, and our experience with her…read moreand her team was unmatched. I was overwhelmed with the wedding planning process and knew I needed help to pull off our ideas for the day. She understood my vision immediately and worked with us to find the perfect vendors, give us ideas, and keep us reassured throughout the entire process. Our wedding was based in San Francisco, with a church ceremony in the city and our reception on Treasure Island. When I mentioned an idea to Diana that we could ferry the guests across the Bay instead of using shuttles, she didn't bat an eye. She reached out to all sorts of boat companies and we landed on the perfect transportation solution for our goals and our budget. The day, though logistically challenging, felt seamless. As a very organized person myself, I often find it difficult to relax when we're on a tight schedule; but that day, I felt so much at ease and incredibly supported the entire day knowing that Diana and her team had the details covered. When we arrived at the reception, the venue had been transformed by her team and our vendors. It was well beyond my expectations and even my original vision. Our decorations, food, DJ/Band hybrid, gelato and coffee bars were amazing; but just as equally amazing were the small details - the guests' table settings, photo and welcome tables were set up perfectly. Diana and her team made sure we got a chance to try all our appetizers and stuck to our timeline without it feeling too structured or like we were pulled in too many directions. Overall, this was truly the best day, and I'm so grateful for Diana and her team that made it so. Our guests are still telling us that this was the best wedding they had ever been to, complimenting every single aspect of it - and we owe that all to Diana. We couldn't have done it without her! I highly recommend her as a planner who is willing to take on every challenge and execute perfectly.

Angelica is amazing! I used her for my wedding in November. I really wanted an beautiful sweetheart…read moretable and boy did she deliver. From our first conversation she listened to what I wanted and gave great suggestions. My wedding was in the fall so we went with the rich velvet table for the sweetheart table with the king and queen chairs! I loved everything about it. The wedding party linen was lavender. She provided these beautiful gold vases which matched the decor perfectly! The queen and king chairs were a hit! Every one wanted to take pictures in them. Angelica & her assistant were super professional and very responsive. She answered all text and emails within an hour. I wish I would have used more of her services. Affordable prices!!! In the wedding vendor world that is super hard to come by. I will use her for all my parties moving forward.

I decided to check out their Instagram site, and I was really impressed with the creativity, and color schemes she was able to create using the events theme. I called, and spoke to Angelica the owner. I told her the colors we were having for our wedding theme, and a few days later she sent me a few picture ideas of backdrops, and table linen creations to match. So, are you telling me you are going to do all my stressful dirty work?! Hell yeaaaa....where do I sign lol?! I hired her to decorate the dessert table, and the sweetheart table with the matching backdrop that also included the letter of our last name, and ordered two throne chairs to really set the tone. Our wedding colors were silver, and purple, with bling accents. She did a really good job. She also delivered and set up everything before the wedding, and came back to pick up everything once the reception was over. She's a brides angel.

Yolanda and her team set up an outdoor movie screen + seats + decorations and individual beds + tents + decorations for the sleepover and it was AMAZING. I sent multiple pictures to those who couldn't make it and they all couldn't believe how great it looked. Not only is Yolanda extremely talented, but she and her entire team are SO KIND. Yolanda worked within my budget and delivered something I could have never imagined. She and her team also worked around my schedule, and I am so grateful to have met them. This company and the people behind it are true gems. I cannot express how thankful I am!

If you're looking for a planner who brings not only a vision to life but infuses it with soul,…read moreheart, precision, and grace--look no further than Andrea of Mia Emma Love Events. I recently had the absolute pleasure of working alongside Andrea for an extravagant, Wicked-themed birthday celebration at the Grand Bay Hotel in San Francisco. As a DJ, I've been part of my fair share of complex productions--but this event? This one had layers. We're talking immersive design, multiple performances, theatrical moments, choreographed timing, lighting cues, and the kind of attention to detail that would make Broadway stage managers sweat. And yet--through every twist, change, last-minute curveball, and behind-the-scenes chaos--Andrea stayed calm, composed, and genuinely joyful. That smile never left her face. It wasn't just impressive; it was inspiring. What struck me most was Andrea's emotional intelligence and natural leadership. She wasn't just checking off a list--she was reading the room, checking in on vendors, comforting the family, and still had the foresight to ensure every beat of the evening landed with intention. For us as DJs, a successful event relies heavily on the planner's clarity, timing, and communication. Andrea excelled at all three. Her cues were crystal clear, her flexibility never compromised the bigger picture, and her collaboration felt seamless. It's rare to find someone who can hold both the creative and logistical sides of event production in perfect harmony. Andrea is that rare gem. And beyond the work, there's a real human connection there--a warmth that draws people in, makes vendors want to go above and beyond, and creates the kind of synergy that guests can feel, even if they don't see it. After this event, I'm not only grateful--I'm inspired. I genuinely hope to work with Andrea and Mia Emma Love Events more in the future. I believe that if we continue to collaborate, we could create experiences that are unforgettable, meaningful, and consistently next-level. Andrea, thank you for the trust, the kindness, the professionalism, and for being exactly the kind of event partner every creative hopes for. I'm honored to have been a part of this one--and I'm already looking forward to the next. With deep appreciation, DJ Brandon Beach

Can't praise Havana enough! We are a wedding & event planning business in the local Bay Area. Just…read morelast weekend, we met Joelle and Klowie from Havana as they were catering our couple's wedding reception. From the planning phases to the delivery & execution- their team was incredibly responsive, timely, clear & professional, and so thoughtful/intentional!

We will for sure be recommending Havana to our future couples :) TY Joelle & team!

I used Havana Catering for the first time for my baby shower this past weekend and had a really…read moregreat experience. I had heard of them before because a friend used them for their wedding, and since I plan events for a living, I've worked with a lot of caterers. For my own event though, price mattered a lot, but I still wanted really good food. After reaching out to a bunch of places, I went with Havana because I had tried their food before and their pricing was very reasonable. We ordered full trays of adobo chicken, lechon roasted pork, crispy tofu, paella, sofrito rice, black beans, corn, poblano mac and cheese, and plantains. I did bring in one dish from another restaurant, Jamaican oxtail, just because I know my guests are big foodies. The biggest hits from Havana were definitely the poblano mac and cheese, lechon, and the paella. Honestly, the mac and cheese was the standout. Everyone kept going back for it and I wish I had ordered an extra tray. What really stood out to me though was the delivery experience. The driver called me ahead of time, brought everything in, and set it all up. He opened the trays with gloves, added sauces, arranged everything nicely, and even put out utensils and labels. I've had plenty of catering deliveries before and this was easily one of the best. He was just genuinely kind and went above and beyond, and it made a big difference. Overall, everything went smoothly, the food was great, and I would definitely order from them again.
