    Browning and wilting bridal bouquet (during ceremony).

    Hi Carlos and Nayra, We expected nothing less from NPD than passive aggressive statements and client blaming, based on your previous responses to other past clients with critical reviews. Facts are facts and you were provided pictures of inspiration with specifics of the colors to use and we believed and trusted in the business' capability to follow directions to creatively come up with the final product. Why does the client have to give instructions to what colors shouldn't be used? Our images of the quality of the withering bouquets were taken less than a couple of hours after delivery and the screenshot of Nayra's one text hours before. In the end, we could've worked with you on a solution HAD WE KNOWN about the issues with the sourcing in advance. We even asked for two simple ways to make it right as a good faith gesture, but both were refused and here we are. This is a warning to all couples considering NPD Events for your florals.

    What I loved about working with Carlos and Nayra... to begin with... everything! Carlos and Nayra have an unbelievable talent, vision, design aesthetic, degree of professionalism, and contagious personalities that are fun, hilarious, and kind. These two are the most genuine people you will meet in preparing your wedding; they truly care about their clients with start to finish execution that is flawless. As I started to interview and meet with multiple florists, in my own planning, when I met with Carlos and Nayra, within minutes I knew it was "love at first floral discussion," and we were meant to be! For our wedding, the floral design was one of the most important aspects. My husband and I imagined striking floral arches, a strict minimal color palette, low metal lily pad centerpieces (see attached) with white candles everywhere. The design and vision is what truly brings life to an event, and that was what I was looking for in our wedding. We explained the key elements of our initial ideas, but we needed someone to execute the vision and make it their own. Throughout the discussions with Carlos and Nayra, they listened to our ideas, built an incredible strategy, and put all these pieces of our wedding together seamlessly. When I entered our wedding, I was speechless! It was incredible to witness everything we had imagined come to life. Carlos and Nayra exceeded every expectation! To say that they went above and beyond, is a complete understatement. Throughout our time working together, they were always super responsive (communication is a huge thing for me and the very definition of professionalism), helped build and expand our vision, brought so many unique elements to our wedding we never even imagined, and have been such amazing people to work with! Today, I don't look at Carlos and Nayra as just a wedding vendor; we have built an amazing friendship that I am so grateful for. If you are putting together your event, reach out to these two immediately as their calendar is filling up, and they are truly a diamond in the rough talent in the wedding business. Carlos and Nayra, thank you, THANK YOU for being a part of our event, and making our wedding the most beautiful day of our lives!

    Bridal party flowers! Wish I had more the share of the rest, but waiting for photographer photos.

    All I can say is if you want to have beautiful flowers for any event contact NPD Events! They're the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! Not only did the make the floral arrangements beautiful for our wedding, they also stuck with us and supported us through 3 different wedding plans. Postponements, change of venue, change of order needs, they made it so easy. And, to top it all off their prices are so reasonable. You get so much for what you pay for! To tell you the truth, I'd hire them again in an instant just because of their communication skills alone. Being absolutely amazing at their jobs is just a bonus!

    Carlos & his team did an absolutely amazing job for our wedding. Words can't express how every detail was thought of and planned with purpose. My flowers included fabric & a satin rose taken from my mother's wedding dress & my rosary. The ceremony arch was simple & gorgeous, we even moved it inside the reception space so guests could take photos with it. All the bridal party & family florals were lovely & people raves about them. Honestly, everything was simple & elegant, just how I imagined. Could rave about it all for days! Use them for your event & be blown away, just like we were!

    My daughter's 4th birthday. Theme dinosaur!

    I hired NPD events for my daughters 4th birthday and boy did they deliver. So professional. So kind. Handled it all and was patient with my constant calls wanting to add and change things. They pay very close attention to detail and were very accommodating with budget restraints. Would highly recommend!!!!!

    This review has been way overdue! I got married June of 2018 and found Nayra and Carlos through our Venue. They were there when we did our food tasting along with other vendors. They were absolutely amazing to work with! We didn't use their florals as we had already hired a florist. But we did use them for their wedding coordination. I showed them everything that I had envisioned and they made it all a reality! The day was so perfect and went so smooth. There were some mishaps but they handled it so gracefully my husband and I had no clue there were any issues. We had the most perfect day! Thank you Nayra and Carlos for your amazing talent!

    NPD Events has been the unique and choice floral sponsor for Martin Lawrence Galleries South Coast's Modern Masters evening art reception and 4-week exhibition. Carlos and Nayra listened to the initial request and worked with us even when we made several changes. They were professionally responsive in-person, phone and email. Their phenomenally gorgeous dendrobium orchids, calla lilies, craspedia, roses, steel grass and fern has WOWed our guests and staff on opening night. Their color choices brought out the tones seen in the masterpieces. On a weekly basis, Carlos and Nayra changed out the old with fresh pieces in another color. As the days passed, shoppers at South Coast Plaza entered to touch the grand bouquet displayed in the gallery's lobby as well as gaze at the smaller bouquets. Should Orange County residents wish for punctual, hard-working, pleasant and committed floral designers who perform over-the-top for an upcoming event, then our referral is NPD Events.

    Our socially-distanced backyard ceremony site. Infinity arch, gold chiavari chairs, and accents by NPD.

    I recently had a small wedding ceremony in my in-laws backyard and hired NPD for floral and decor. They went above and beyond my expectations and were always in communication with me. When our plans unexpectedly changed last minute due to a family health issue, they were so kind and were still able to provide their services. They braved 115 degree heat while setting up and wore masks for both setup and pickup. Even though our ceremony was in a backyard, friends who saw our photos commented that it looked like we were at a legit wedding venue. I would 100% recommend Carlos and Nayra to my friends and family.

    I cannot speak to their floral work but I am writing this review on the two phone calls I had with Carlos. I had initially contacted Carlos to schedule a consultation for my wedding next year. He was very unprofessional in the manner in which he spoke to me. I was not able to ask the questions I had regarding additional florals I wanted done (outside of the centerpieces that are included in my wedding package with our venue.) He was insistent that I just look at his Instagram page. Eventually he agreed to a consultation visit which I agreed to in order to get all the information I wanted. He only stated that he would see us at his "Irvine location". Upon arrival at his Irvine Blvd office (the one he had on file with the venue, on his website, listed on this Yelp page, and on Google.), which was a law office in which he uses a space with no signage indicating he had an office there, I was told that he does work there but was actually at a different location by the Irvine Spectrum. I called him back and informed him that I was at his other location to which he did not care about the inconvenience and sketchiness of having two locations and unclear manner of indicating such. Overall, Carlos was unprofessional over the phone with me. Updated since the owner is providing false information in their response: screenshots included to show that their Yelp page and website do not indeed have their "Irvine" location. Why are you trying to shuck responsibility for lack of clarity and false information?

    Carlos and Nayra are amazing! They did such an amazing job with my wedding flowers from the very beginning til the end. They were so easy to work with, so pleasant, and so talented. I provided them with the colors I wanted to go with and pictures from Pinterest and they exceeded my expectations (see pictures). They truly "made our wedding." I received my wedding pictures recently and looking at them makes me so happy. Flowers really are a major part of a wedding and I'm so glad I chose NPD!

    Five stars all the way. Like all the other reviews, Carlos and Nayra delivered on my vision for an "Orange" County wedding. The centerpieces were stunning, the ceremony flowers highlighted the venue perfectly and importantly the memory table was just perfect. From the moment we met and did the planning I felt comfortable and embraced. I knew they would deliver a perfect product and service. They exceeded my expectations.

    special day made even more special because of NPD

    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!

As my wife and I were planning our wedding we both knew we wanted a team to support and guide us through the planning process. Working with Abby and Amanda definitely made the entire wedding planning process seamless. From our very first meeting they really helped put things into focus and laid out a clear milestones and goals throughout. On the day of our wedding and weeks leading up to it, Abby and Amanda ensured that our decorations and everything came out according to plan. Despite us throwing any changes or last minute requests their way. My wife and I had absolutely nothing to worry about and was able to enjoy our wedding completely stress free. Thank you Sugar Plum & Co for helping my wife and I plan and execute the wedding of our dreams!

She…read moredid not sell us on anything and when we were asking about how the set up would be, she shared that she had experience at this venue and that she was a planner. We followed up to see what wedding planning packages she had and safe to say this was the best decision made. Eliza, Tammy + Team provided the full service for our wedding. We hired them for planning, design, coordination, rentals, and florals and it made life so much easier. I had the best experience with Eliza and team with our weekly meetings for a few months to align on all the details. She understand and appreciated our mixed cultural background and how we wanted to incorporate elements of this for a Persian and Vietnamese wedding. I have always heard wedding planning to be stressful but safe to say my experience was the best and the day of the wedding went beautifully. Nothing ever goes to plan and I'm really happy Eliza and her team are experienced enough to adjust to last minutes changes such as guest no shows, etc. She captured our vision perfectly and I'm already thinking of future events I would plan with Bel Events again!

    Horrible experience, stay away!…read more This is a review for Eliza at BEL Events for her wedding planning services. We met Eliza at our venue 8 month before our wedding date. During the first session she presented herself well, and she talked and bragged a lot about her 18 yrs of experience in event planning and stories about how she handles wedding situations. So, we thought she is the right event planner for us and signed a contract. After signing the contract and making the payment, she was very hard to find and we did not see the expected action from her side, and every time we followed up, her response was: "don't worry I will manage everything before the wedding day". We were asking for the basics of planning such as timeline, vendor recommendations (a few to choose from) and communications (which was part of the contract) but not no action except a quote of her own rental service. We were getting closer to the wedding date and her lack of action made us so worried and very frustrated. Eventually we had to get involved and did almost 90% of the work ourselves. She was very hard to find but even when we could talk to her, she would create more unnecessary problems to an extant that my wife had panic attacks after a few meetings we had with her. 2 month before our wedding she caused so much anxiety and frustration that we decided to end our contract with her and find another planner. Thankfully, our new planner was amazing and our Wedding planning went very smooth after that, and the event was as wonderful as we could imagine! With way lower cost than what Eliza had proposed! After I requested to cancel the contract she disappeared and never responded to our emails, which is very unprofessional. Here is a list of a few issues from our experience of working with here: 1- Accessibility: every time we had a question or needed to talk to her, it was taking several days until she gets back to us. With irrelevant excuses, like she would show me her busy google calendar! 2- Push to use her own services as vendors: Per her contract she had to suggest different vendors so we can choose. But since she has rental and flower services, she was arguing so much to stop us from even looking at other options! She charges unnecessarily expensive! By doing a little research, we found our vendors and saved at least 50% with same or better quality! 3- Nonsense arguments and rude attitude: In many occasions she was just insisting on holding the event the way SHE wants, without paying attention to our request or desire. Every time we requested something, her answer was: "I don't want MY event to be that way or I don't want MY guests to be that way"!!! With a condescending attitude emphasizing that "I have 18 yrs of experience and I know what to do"!!! Any simple request would become a long story and unnecessary argument. In one occasion my wife requested that guests throw flower petals while walking out of aisle, and she immediately said: "No!, you can't do that, I don't want my cleaning crew spend time on cleaning the petals"!!!! In another occasion Eliza was insisting on only using her recommended valet service (which was quoting more than double the price of the service we eventually used) and on top of it she was forcing us to rent extra parking lot out of venue and pay extra for shuttle service!!!! While the venue had enough capacity! And when I respectfully said: I am confident that the venue has enough capacity for parking, she got very angry and said: "in that case tell all your guests to use UBER and they can't drive their own car"!!! It was a nightmare working with BEL Events and I don't recommend her service due to lack of professionalism and decency in her business.

    Where do I begin... Almost 10 years ago, my mother and I…read morehad taken a girls trip to the Montage- laguna beach. While there, we stumbled into the ball room where we stood in awe at what was at the time, one of the most beautiful wedding designs I had ever seen. My mother and I promptly asked the first person we saw who was designing this wedding and got a card for a "Natalie Good". I pocketed the card and thought- one day! Fast forward 5 years I had met Matt(my now husband) and we were moving into together. I was cleaning my room at my parents house and came across Natalie's card and put it in my purse. 3 months later, Matt proposed on a Saturday and the following Monday I called Natalie and booked her. First and foremost, Natalie is an angel on this planet. Wedding planning is so stressful and I never had to worry about a single thing, she went above and beyond to make sure I was not stressed and happy. She is more than just our wedding planner and over the 3 years we planned my wedding (thanks covid...), she became my friend and someone who I adore Second, when going down this road, I think trusting your planner/wedding team is extremely important to make sure the process is seamless and smooth. I can tell you that without a doubt, I trust Natalie and her team implicitly! I trusted them so much that I let them run free on the design for my wedding and I could not have been happier! Everything was perfect and so gorgeous- from the table design to the flowers, everything was flawless and it was so amazing to watch her vision come to life. It's been 3 months and I am still getting calls and compliments from all of our guests and even friends of guests who weren't there but saw pictures. She is insanely talented and has an unbelievable list of vendors that are just as talented. We even had a silent disco at our wedding and it was a hit! Third, her team is awesome. The women who helped me specifically- Ellie, Kennedy, and Maddy- where next level professional and so helpful. There were nights where I would be up at midnight and text Ellie and she would always answer and talk me down. Kennedy and Maddy were running around on wedding day making sure I was hydrated and fed and happy. Everything about A Good Affair is top notch and I could not be more grateful or fortunate to have had them design, plan and make our dream wedding a reality. I cannot recommend them enough if you are looking for a team to take your wedding to the next level and who will be there every step of the way to make your dreams come true!

    This review is based on my communication with this company. I didn't hire them so I can not say if…read morethey provide great service for your party. What I can say is, they don't really go straight to the point and communicate back n forth in email when you had requested 3 times to call you to talk it out. I mean, if off the bat you're having a hard time conveying your plans, pricing with me then its not worth my time. They reply back quick, which I appreciate but them going around in circles is annoying. Also, if you're looking for budget, this is NOT the place for budget. She knew my budget, yet continued to ask questions through email. Finally, she gives me the quote of $10-$15k for a wedding next year (saying pricing will go up next year) and if its something i am still interested in. Wow, knowing where my budget is, which was less than $3k, and you know your asking is triple that, is so unprofessional. This is not accommodating to new clients or at all helpful. If you plan to have a wedding with a $10-$15k budget in mind then this might be your type of vendor but if you're asking for really minimal details for $3k, and they don't just say "sorry our services are over your budget" then they don't care or respect your needs. These days, customer service should be catered to what you can provide for the client. If you can't make it work, then just simply let the client know. Do not waste their time with back n forth email. Some of us don't understand what you're saying in email and a clearer communication shows you care enough to explain it.

    Where to even begin, not that we would ever want to plan a wedding again...but if we did we'd pick…read moreMaria and her team every single time. From the moment we had to pick a planner, we knew Maria was the right choice. Our first phone call felt like talking to your best friend you had known for years. She showed genuine care and interest from the get go and we knew we were in good hands. As someone who is a little more Type A (bride) when it comes to organization and planning, it was over whelming trying to consider how to plan the biggest day of our lives. Maria went above and beyond and took any ounce of stress away. She helped us pick our vendor team early on into the planning process, allowing us to find people who matched our energy. What seemed to be so daunting became some of the easiest decisions to make. Throughout the year, Maria checked in with us to make sure things were okay. She looked over our contracts and helped us plan the next steps whether it was food tasting, floral meetings, making a design deck, or buying a cake just for a photo. Monthly chats quickly turned into weekly chats as we got closer to the big day. Maria ensured every little detail was covered asking us questions about our bridal party, songs we wanted to be played, table greetings, and thank you cards. Before the day of our wedding, she sent us a checklist of items to give her to help take the added weight off our shoulders so we can enjoy our day. What we thought was already an above and beyond was nothing near the day of experience. Maria and her team could not have planned a better timeline for us and our loved ones. Maria took charge handling all our vendors while her assistants Cat and Chelsea ensured we were okay and our bridal party was set and ready to go. Everything was seamless as they took care of little things such as ensuring we had food to eat, water to drink, and a moment to breathe. When we had some last minute changes such as changed meals or guest coming and going, they handled it with ease. Many of our guest raved about our vendors and how amazing the day was, but it couldn't have happened without Maria and her team. Our closest loved ones who knew Maria was our planner couldn't stop complimenting how on top of it she was the whole day, and we couldn't agree more. Maria is not only a planner but she becomes your friend. She takes genuine interest in you and makes you feel on top of the world. We couldn't be more fortunate enough to have worked with her and her team.

    Maria was the best day of coordinator we could have asked for. She was super organized, kind, and…read morekept the day flowing spectacularly. She also was able to send us some BTS content that we didn't even know she was taking. I couldn't have imagined anyone else helping make our day as magical as it was. Her and her colleague Chelsea truly were the dream team. We 10/10 recommend Maria to anyone who wants the perfect day!

    This is my second time hiring Casey and her team! They did an excellent job executing our vision…read morefor our corporate event in LA! From the florals to the signage, all of the decor was beautifully done. She has a big network of vendors as well which was especially helpful in making sure we had everything we needed for our event.

    I got married in Orange County over two years ago, and something that I still think about on a…read moreregular basis is what an amazing job the RuffleEffect team did. We used them as the day-of coordinators and the florist, but wow, they were really working with me the entire process up until and through the big day. There are so things I can say but I want to focus on three areas: 1) Prepared and organized. In the planning stages from being familiar with our vendors and communicating with them (we got married at Ranchos Las Lomas and had 24Carrots catering), to sending back and forth planning documents and scheduling details, Casey and Ally were just so good to work with. I am very particular about things but I trusted them throughout the process and felt like nothing was going to fall through the cracks. 2) Amazing florist. I'm so glad we also chose them as our florists; everything turned out exactly as I had hoped from the ceremony arch to the table centerpieces to a custom head table structure we had made. They did not skimp on the flowers at all and they were so good about mock-ups in photo form during the planning process and then an in-person mock-up of the centerpiece to make sure everything was how we wanted it to be. And most importantly, they came in a really good price! 3) So much help in the decorations. One of the reasons why we ultimately chose RuffleEffect is they have a great catalog of items to choose from (check out their "rentals" section on their site) that they can supply to you for free in their packages including candles, frames, table numbers, and some signage. I wanted to create my own custom backdrops and signage, and they helped bring some of the wood panels, create many of the decal stickers, and offered to help with setting up at no extra cost, which is really unheard of. I think that point of them always wanting to do more and wanting to make your vision come to life is really what Casey excels at. She has such a joyous personality that makes it relaxing to work with, really cares about your day, and hires a great team. We get so many compliments about our wedding years later and it's really because of RuffleEffect.

She was so attentive to us, and did so much at the forefront and behind the scenes of the wedding day and months leading up.

Shraddha and Karan are the sweetest wife & husband team that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and working with. I booked Sprig and Ivy early into my wedding planning, and even though it was a long time away from our initial contact to the wedding day, Shraddha was so nice and sweet in checking up every so often to make sure I was doing ok. When it came down to the wire, WOW- They exceeded everything that you can ask for in having wedding coordinators for your wedding. They were on top of everything and anything! There were so many moments where I needed a breather, so they "snuck" me out to check out everything and get some air (because everyone was pulling me in different directions!). At one point, I really wanted to see my dessert bar, but couldn't get to it, so Karan took me through a "detour" for me to check it out on the other side before all the chaos ensued. They made sure everything was perfect from beginning to end, and I am SO happy for their amazing work ethics, wonderful personalities, and overall, just great people to have and surround yourself with. Thank you for everything!

She was quick to respond to any questions we had and always so kind and helpful. On the day of the wedding, she kept everything moving on pace so we could enjoy the night stress-free. Her team is friendly, efficient, and will make sure your wedding is the best it could be.

    I first contacted Jenny from JenEvents as a preferred vendor of my wedding venue at Coyote Hills…read moreGolf Course about 8 or 9 months before our date. She brought this warm energy and excitement to wedding planning that drew us to her. I was planning a western church wedding that still preserved elements of traditional Vietnamese culture so I really wanted a wedding planner who could anticipate those needs and felt that Jenny was our perfect fit! Our venue already provided catering and bar services so we elected to do the day-of-wedding planning package. We were planning from NorCal which made it challenging in many ways. Jen had several check in's with us over the months and was extremely responsive via e-mail when we requested assistance, such as needed recommendations for late night snacks. She knew all the best vendors in the area so we felt reassured with our vendor line up with her green light. We were also grateful that she was flexible with our tight schedules when we drove down to SoCal. I was a cricut bride and I had A LOT of DIY decor and activity ideas. Jenny was always encouraging yet realistic. She knew or would figure out how to best execute my vision and always had a back up plan which made me feel so secure about trusting her with creating our vision for our big day. For example, I really wanted to create a warm, rustic look over the dance floor with a ceiling of rattan pendant lights with greenery, which the venue had never done before. She really delivered on working with our venue and thinking thoroughly of all the details for execution! It turned out SO AMAZING, just perfect. We received SO many compliments on the decor from our guests! We couldn't be more grateful to Jenny and her team for carefully making every detail look perfect. Jenny was very thoughtful about details of the wedding that we would have never personally considered and asked clarifying questions to intently understand what we wanted. Her communication was responsive and clear, and it was just an absolute joy working with her. We HIGHLY recommend her for your wedding planning needs!
