Hiring Natalie and A Good Affair was THE BEST DECISION WE MADE!…read more If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding planner at all, hire Natalie and A Good Affair. DO IT. It is more than worth it! I got married in December 2025 in my parent's backyard in North Tustin, and people are still talking about how AMAZING our wedding day was! Yes, we have fabulous family and friends who love us, and they made our day extra special, but I'm telling you right now, the day was perfect because of Natalie and her team. The time and effort AGA went into getting to know us and our must-haves put us at ease immediately. Planning a wedding is such a collaborative process, and we walked away from every meeting feeling heard and supported. The outcome? The best day of our lives! Natalie is one of the most professional talents in her field. I'm amazed at how she comes up with her amazing visions, and then brings them to life. Her organization, clear communication, and attention to detail are unmatched. On top of that, she is very well respected in the wedding community. Everyone I came into contact with assured me I was working with the best. SPOILER ALERT: We were! Team AGA took our ideas and transformed them into a well-curated dream. Every detail was beyond what I could have ever imagined! Additionally, Team AGA's experience blew us away. The vendors they recommended were top-tier and brought the wedding day together seamlessly. From the DJ to the caterer to the florist to the HMU team, each vendor was thoughtfully chosen to meet the needs of our wedding. Team AGA truly listened to what we liked and brought together an even better vision than we could have ever hoped for! They anticipated everything, and handled day-of setbacks like pros. They created a calm and easy-going presence that set a peaceful tone for the day. Our wedding party and guests said it was the best wedding they had been to or been a part of. My husband and I felt doted on up until our wedding exit, and we still talk about how much we miss Natalie, Kayla, and Jesica. Team AGA continue to be so thoughtful and sent my sister and I flowers and sweet treats on our birthday in February. They truly became part of our family throughout the wedding planning process. If you're looking to host an event everyone will rave about for years to come, hire A Good Affair. You won't regret it.

Highly recommend Mikala for your signage!

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about the Sugarplum & Co. team. If you're looking for a…read morewedding coordinator or planner, we highly, highly recommend working with this team! We had been engaged for over a year before we really started planning and honestly had no idea where to begin. We had all the basic questions -- How do you set a realistic budget? What do things actually cost? Is the wedding we're envisioning even feasible? We spoke with several planners, and Abby immediately stood out. From our very first conversation, she was incredibly helpful, kind, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us. Even before we officially started working together, there were so many green flags. Choosing Abby and her team was a complete no-brainer. We planned our wedding in under a year, and Abby, Amanda, Kat, and the entire Sugarplum & Co. team were incredible every step of the way. They gave us the tools, resources, guidance, confidence, and reassurance we needed to bring our vision to life. You may know what you want your wedding to look and feel like, but having experts by your side who know what works, what's realistic, and how to bring it all together is invaluable. Their expertise also goes far beyond the creative side of planning. From budgets and vendors to reviewing contracts, asking the right questions, and making sure we were setting ourselves up for success, they were an incredible resource. There are so many things you simply don't know to look for when you've never planned a wedding before, and we always felt like we were in such good hands. Most importantly, they genuinely care. They helped guide us through decisions big and small while always making sure the wedding felt like us. We had so much fun working with them -- from the planning calls and walkthroughs to mock-ups and the wedding weekend itself. With their help, we were able to truly enjoy the process and ultimately bring such a special weekend to life. The Sugarplum & Co. team is knowledgeable, talented, smart, savvy, and genuinely some of the sweetest people to work with. We couldn't have been happier with our experience and would recommend them in a heartbeat. Thank you, Abby, Amanda, Kat, and the entire Sugarplum & Co. team, for helping us create such an incredible and unforgettable wedding weekend. We are forever grateful! xo

Abby is an absolute rockstar wedding planner! Where do we even start? From our very first call with…read moreAbby, we knew she was different. She wasn't just trying to sell us a package - she genuinely wanted to get to know us as a couple, our story, and the kind of vibe we wanted our wedding to have. That first impression stuck with us. Over the next two years of planning, Abby and her team brought our ideas to life and helped to make our dream wedding a reality. Design: We told Abby we wanted an "East Meets West" theme that blended our cultures in a way that felt modern and elegant, a tough balance that could've easily come off as cheesy in if executed poorly. But Abby nailed it of course, her design sense is unreal. From color palettes and floral choices to the way she tied together modern décor with cultural elements, everything was cohesive and elevated. She has an incredible eye for detail and always found creative, out-of-the-box ways to make our ideas work. The end result was a wedding that felt truly felt like us! Communication: Throughout the entire process, Abby and her team were consistently on top of communication. She kept us updated between meetings, sent friendly reminders, and made sure we were always aligned on next steps. It's easy for things to slip through the cracks when planning something this big, but Abby kept everything organized and stress-free. We never once felt out of the loop, she was always calm, professional, and genuinely fun to talk to. Vendor Management: Abby's vendor management skills are next level. She has deep connections and knows everyone in the wedding world. When we needed vendors for flowers, desserts, or décor, she already had a curated list of the best options with pros and cons ready for us. Some of our vendors were booked more than a year in advance, but Abby and her team were always on top of follow-ups, contracts, and logistics. By the time the big day arrived, every vendor was perfectly coordinated. It really felt like we had assembled the Avengers of wedding vendors! Working Style: We can't say enough about how enjoyable it was to work with Abby and her team. They're so friendly, positive, and genuinely care about their couples. You can tell they love what they do and that they actually enjoy working together - it felt like they were more of friends than coworkers. Whenever unexpected hiccups came up (and they always do in wedding planning), Abby handled them with grace and a sense of humor. She's done hundreds of weddings, so she always had the experience to guide us to make informed decisions. It was so fun working with the entire team and it made the stressful process of wedding planning feel less stressful. Execution: This is where Abby and her team truly shine. Planning is one thing, but executing flawlessly is another and they did it all seamlessly. From coordinating vendors to keeping our timeline on track, they were everywhere and nowhere all at once, putting out fires behind the scenes before we even knew they existed. The day flowed perfectly. At the end of the night, we were blown away to see how they had already packed up all our belongings, made sure our ride was ready, and tied up every little loose end without us lifting a finger. That level of thoughtfulness really showed how much they care. Budget & Financial Management: The truth is weddings are expensive, and it's easy for costs to spiral if you're not careful. Abby was phenomenal at keeping everything organized and transparent. She tracked every expense, set reminders for upcoming milestone payments for vendors, and even handled tipping for all our vendors so we didn't have to stress about it on the big day. What really stood out was her honesty and foresight -- anytime a decision could push us beyond our budget, she proactively flagged it and walked us through the financial trade-offs before we committed. Thanks to her meticulous tracking and planning, there were zero surprises at the end. Everything was clearly outlined and accounted for, which gave us complete peace of mind. In short, Abby and her team are the best in the business. They bring design expertise, organization, and heart to every step of the process. You'll see what we mean once you have the first introductory call with her. She's the kind of planner who truly loves what she does, doesn't settle for anything less than perfect, and it shows in every detail. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a top class wedding planner!

From the moment we started working together, she was incredibly responsive, resourceful, and proactive. No question went unanswered, no detail was overlooked, and she always made us feel like everything was under control. We had a traditional Persian wedding with a lot of moving parts, and Crystal handled every aspect with confidence and grace. She helped beautifully set up our sofreh, coordinated all our vendors and timelines, and made sure individual notes for each of our guests were thoughtfully placed. She seamlessly managed all of the little details that could have easily been forgotten, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy the day. One of the greatest compliments I can give a wedding coordinator is that everything felt effortless. It's so easy to notice when something goes wrong at a wedding, but it's easy to forget just how much work it takes behind the scenes to make everything run perfectly. Crystal was the reason our day unfolded exactly as planned, and her organization, calm demeanor, and problem-solving skills made all the difference. I would hire Crystal again without hesitation and recommend her wholeheartedly to any couple looking for a coordinator who truly cares about making your wedding day flawless. She exceeded every expectation, and we're so grateful she was part of our celebration.

My wife, Pamela, and I cannot recommend this coordination team highly enough! We hired…read moreExceptionally Yours about six months before our wedding after becoming overwhelmed with planning. It was one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire wedding process. From our very first meeting, Crystal took the time to get to know us, understand our vision, and learn exactly what we needed. After that initial consultation, she paired us with Caitlin as our day-of coordinator, and we could not have asked for a better match. From the beginning, Caitlin was professional, organized, friendly, and incredibly easy to work with. She provided us with excellent planning tools, helpful checklists, and maintained constant communication with us every step of the way. Anytime we had questions or needed advice, she was always quick to respond and helped us make informed decisions. This made the planning process so much less stressful. As the wedding day got closer, Caitlin worked seamlessly with us and all of our vendors and made sure everyone was on the same page. We even had a few last-minute changes. She handled every adjustment without hesitation. Everything was executed flawlessly, and we never once felt like anything was out of control. On our wedding day, Caitlin and her entire team exceeded every expectation we had. They were organized, attentive, calm, and always one step ahead. Because of them, Pamela and I were able to relax, be fully present, and truly enjoy every moment of our wedding without worrying about timelines, vendors, or logistics. Everything was exactly where it needed to be, exactly when it needed to be, and the entire day flowed perfectly. Looking back, having Caitlin and her team there was priceless. They turned what could have been a stressful day into one that was smooth, enjoyable, and unforgettable. If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who genuinely cares about your day, communicates exceptionally well, and executes everything flawlessly, look no further. Thank you, Crystal, Caitlin, and the Exceptionally Yours team for helping make our wedding day absolutely perfect. We are forever grateful! Philip and Pamela (The Molina's) :)

When the day of happened all that I dreamed of came to life. She worked with our budget and was realistic with us on what was worth getting to achieve the look and experience we wanted on our special day. All of our guests not only loved the venue, which is one of the exclusive venues of Event Loft, but they said the food and staff were impeccable. We have guests that continue to tell us that the venue was a gem to find and that everything was well scheduled. We booked everything with Event loft, except for the DJ and sofreh designer. She was very kind to the other vendors and helped them when needed. We have the most memorable photos, video and the flowers were beautiful and excellent quality. I couldn't imagine not having Adina and her team working our wedding. I simply can't thank them enough.

She was efficient with any questions, concerns and solutions. She listened to everything we wanted and executed it beautifully. Even with our strict budget, she was capable of making our wedding look expensive, classy, and elegant. As for the day of the wedding, it was such a huge success! Xong handled everything flawlessly.

Flavia has a wide range of relationships in place in the southern California area, including beyond-helpful connections with florals and decor concepts. We had some vendors in place when we hired Flavia; for those we hadn't already hired, Flavia was great at 'vetting' vendors when she was not already familiar with them. Our event was simple in some ways (ceremony & reception in the same venue, not a lot of transport logistics) but complicated in others (very specific timing, not a lot of advance time in the space, lots of deliveries to coordinate in advance, many participants in our ceremony/toasts, etc). Flavia kept it all running smoothly, identified problems in advance and headed them off (her minute-by-minute overview of our day was on-point), and calmly addressed whatever came up-- all while making sure that we (the celebrants) actually ate the food we spent months planning, and had a drink while talking to our 90 guests. (It's funny what you'll forget to do on the day-of.) She is masterfully observant and understands the "flow" of a well-run event. Flavia has this "in-control, yet not a control freak" presence, which was perfect: she speaks with authority while being genuine & pleasant- not always something you find in a planner, and what we wanted for handling vendors! She stopped at nothing to make things look and feel the way we envisioned- she tested out a bunch of ideas with us for decor leading up to our celebration, and kept on quests for supplies and designs for us. From planning to day-of, we loved working with Flavia!

From being cheery and upbeat to organized and managing all of the little details - I give Kristin an A+! One of the things that was most helpful about ReUp Design & Events was the connections to other vendors she has. Because of her knowledge, expertise, and negotiating skills, I was able to get amazing services within our budget. Literally, she introduced us to our florist and the ice-cream cart we used plus, she looked over every contract for the other vendors. Another priceless skill Kristin brought to our wedding was her ability to mind the details. I was at a venue (a family members house) that required an impossible breakdown of the two head tables that turned into the dance floor. Kristin handled it so well, that I didn't even see the transition happen! She also trouble shot every issue that may have come up so that in the end - my groom, mother and mother-in-law (and myself!) could just enjoy the day. Lastly, Kristin was so great about just checking in with me to see how I was doing and managing the stress that comes with planning a wedding. She would do it in a way that felt thoughtful and authentic and I really appreciated that. I have several friends that are recently engaged and Kristin's phone number is the first thing I pass them. She is amazing - and such a steal for her rates. I would 100% recommend her for planning any event that you have coming up.
