I had the pleasure of working with Kimi through a wedding at the Los Coyotes Country Club. She is…read moreone of their preferred coordinators, and let me tell you how amazing she is. We booked her for the ceremony since this was included in our venue package, but we ended up adding her setup service. This was TOTALLY worth it because my husband and I were not stressed on the day of the wedding. All we did was bring our outfits and shoes. (We had dropped off our stuff during the night of the rehearsal.) We had sent Kimi an email on what needed to be set up, and it's like she knew our exact vision. She was extremely helpful and professional during the rehearsal as well. She acted as liaison with the other vendors and even took care of receiving a delivery for chocolate-covered strawberries from one of my students (I'm a teacher). I will definitely be asking for her services when we do a vow renewal years later. 10/10 recommend to anyone who needs a coordinator!

It was such a great experience working with Kimi for our wedding. She is such a kind and…read morethoughtful person. Her knowledge and experience in wedding planning and coordination were key factors in our wedding being such an amazing experience. She is incredibly organized and ensures that all the other vendors are on time and prepared for the event. It also greatly helped that she had previously worked with pretty much all our vendors. Kimi's hard work made our wedding day an enjoyable, stress-free experience full of great memories.

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.

Unfortunately, I was not able to have the Forever & Always Wedding that I dreamed of. Although…read moreHeather communicated very well, there were a couple of incidents that I found slightly unprofessional: 1. I signed a contract with one of her staff as my wedding planner. Unfortunately, from my understanding, there were unexpected changes in the company, so Heather had to take over. However, Heather responded that she would make an exception for me and not charge me an additional $1000 for this change. With all due respect, I should not be financially penalized for changes that an owner experiences; especially since I already signed the contract that I financially agreed to. 2. I encountered a lot of life changes that disrupted my ability to move forward with a wedding that my brothers were supposed to be in. For instance, I had a depressed, suicidal brother, I had another brother leave for Japan for the Marines, and I had an uncle pass away. All vendors except for Heather were so kind to fully refund my deposits due to the situation. Unfortunately, Heather responded that she was still a businesswoman and was financially hurting, so she was in no place to offer a full refund. I basically paid Heather almost $500 to establish a simple contract. I already had all the vendors in place and organized, so this deposit was for nothing. Heather should not be held responsible for unexpected circumstances, but this wedding meant a lot to me. As a business owner, you should be able to compromise with your clients based on their situation. I could have easily used that deposit to help my family for the funeral. I find this situation absurd because I never wanted a wedding planner to begin with. Our wedding list was only 32 guests, but my fiancé insisted that we hire a planner because he did not want me to stress out. I admire him for caring, but this wedding was going to be a private and intimate event with very little management. I blame myself for hiring a wedding planner when I did not need one. It is unfortunate that Heather was thinking like a businesswoman and not a human being with empathy. Nonetheless, please make sure to ask about the refund policy for emergencies such as death, health, etc. Two stars are for her communication, but I can only evaluate Heather based on my experience with her before the wedding date. Therefore, I am unable to provide feedback for her day service since my wedding never happened. Has it ever occurred to you, Heather, that you had not heard from me in a year because I was busy dealing with other important things like planning a funeral? My wedding was the last thing on my mind. Also, I was not complaining about the charge that never happened, I am complaining about your response to your changes. There was no need to comment on that you are more expensive and won't be charging me. We could have proceeded forward with whatever it was we were doing. You contacted ONE venue and that is because they had YOU sign a contract with them. FYI, my pre-engagement photos were scheduled with the photographer I hired for my wedding and I was still refunded the full amount. This vendor did not work for free either and still managed to prioritize customer service over money. You are a business owner and have the liberty to do as you please, but you must have needed the money more than I did, so I hope my contributions helped your business. Nonetheless, well done on your communication. If you have a family member with a life-threatening illness or you have a medical condition that may require potential hospitalization, please do not hire Heather as your wedding planner as she will not refund you the deposit because not make exceptions for your situation simply because she does not "work for free." Thank you.

It's so important to relate to and connect with your wedding planner and from day 1 it felt like…read moreshe was my friend helping me plan my dream wedding. I found Heather through Yelp and let me say: she really understood my vision and kept it real with me on what i could and couldn't afford lol. Not to mention, I literally and honestly don't know how I could have enjoyed my wedding without Heather. Her and her assistant, Courtney, handled E V E R Y T H I N G on the day of our wedding at the Estate on Second and then some. If there was any sort of problem, she had the solution. If we needed a drink, she was there with mine and my husband's signature cocktails. If I was losing track of time, she made sure to gently push me along. She truly handled everything so that me and my husband could just have FUN and for that I am truly grateful.

I started this review in 2015, a year after my wedding, in order to properly allow any negative…read moreemotional feelings from the wedding subside and also to properly assess this company's services. It's now 2017, almost 3 years after my wedding and I'm finally publishing this review. My wife and I hired K&S for our wedding and selected the platinum package, basically so someone could hold our hands throughout the entire process + D.O.C. We had a short timeline, engaged in March with a targeted wedding date in December the same year. In regards to planning, Kym was spot on. Scheduling visits with the flower vendor, negotiating terms with the caterer, and also coordination tasks at the Nixon Library. She's good about telling you what options can be expensive, price ranges for vendors, and creative ideas within a certain budget framework. One minor annoyance was that every meeting she would spend a couple hours with us discussing, writing notes and follow-ups, but then go MIA. The next meeting would require a refresher (like she forgot key details), or we'd be proactive and send out an email or text asking about the status. This problem became so widespread (i.e. she will tell you she'll follow up in 3 days but then go a week with no response), that I had to send an email to her and her partner that they were upsetting the bride. My wife and I prepared everything in advance of the wedding so that Kym's team could setup the day-of. We packaged and organized everything in bags with labels and directions. Signs were installed in photo frames, name cards were bagged alphabetically, and layout was discussed all in advance. We arrive into the reception area the day-of only to find nothing was setup the way my wife asked. She was just so frustrated. The money/card box wasn't put where we asked, which involved a lot of guests coming to ask us what to do. It's almost as if the assistants and other team members didn't know what to do or didn't bother checking with Kym for instructions. This was apparent because the following happened -see below. And finally, the biggest debacle of the night. We had an agreement with the vendor that the consumption bar was to turn into an open bar once the limited was reached. Kym actually helped us with this during the negotiations. One of Kym's assistants for one reason or another got confused and told the caterer to turn the consumption bar into a cash bar. Kym apparently had no idea (not sure how the assistant came to make the decision). No one thought to come notify or ask us. Embarrassingly, our guests had to shell out cash for drinks sometime between 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm. We didn't find out until we visited the bar personally around 9:30 pm, ordered drinks and was asked to pay -imagine our surprise. The caterer apologized, Kym said "this is my fault", accepting responsibility, but the damage was done. My view here is that the wedding coordinator is at fault in this situation as she holds the responsibility to speak on behalf of the bride/groom (or at least check-in with them before making such a decision). And since when does an assistant make a decision like this without checking in with her boss?! Also, Kym was the one that negotiated the catering contract for us, not sure how her team could seriously make such a huge error. One key point to make here, the caterer went out of their way a few days AFTER the wedding to make amends (despite their assertion that they only listened to the K&S team). They offered to treat us to an anniversary dinner and a few comps at their local restaurant. As for K&S? Well they were gone with the wind after that last cash payment made at the wedding. It still leaves a bad feeling in my stomach to this day.

I HIGHLY recommend K &S Events for all the future brides!!…read more Kym was my day-of coordinator but helped me throughout my planning process. She was very easy to get a hold of anytime of they day, she will make time to answer all your questions and make sure you are on the right track. She helped me with my lighting and got me the best possible deal, the lighting company was a mess but she ensured me she would be on top of them and helped me get the exact Gobo light that I wanted and tested it out for me to make sure all the words were clear. She also helped me out big time with my timeline, and kept me on track the day of, without her, I don't know what I would've done. She's very prompt and organized, she made sure my wedding reception looked beautiful. My only regret is that I didn't have her help me with the entire wedding, wish I had her deal with some of my crazy vendors for me before hand. She really came through on my big day and knowing that she was taking care of everything I was able to feel less stressed and enjoyed my ceremony.

They state they have a 3-day response time for emails, but some of our emails took them 10 days to respond to. By the end, we had to beg them to respond to our emails because we were running out of time. On the day they ignored explicit instructions from us, did not execute tasks they told us they would, and even dismissed workers early. They were rude to us and our families on our wedding day. The vendors they recommended to us were unprofessional, were drinking at our wedding, and also did not follow basic instructions. After the wedding they did not immediately refund our deposit. Weeks later, they claimed that several items were broken and lost, all adding up to the exact amount of the deposit. Then they claimed that they would refund us because our caterer had agreed to pay for the items. They eventually did pay us only after repeated attempts to recover the deposit. Not only did we provide written instructions asking them to inventory items before leaving the site, this is also common practice for the day of coordinator. Our wedding turned out beautiful in spite of this company and we are so grateful to some of our other vendors, our friends and family.

Please continue reading and stop looking elsewhere and be completely convinced that you guys should go with MLE immediately! MLE was involved as our Day of Coordinator and planning activities 6 weeks leading up to the big day. Cindy's experience, consideration, professionalism, and honesty (this is a huge one) made what could have been a very stressful day into a stress-free day, or least as stress free as a wedding day can get it, haha. As the days approached the big day, we were already pretty happy with MLE, but once the big day came, they completely kicked it up into high gear. They were so seamless in working in the background to make everything come together with the vendors, timing, handling of guests, etc. We had a delay due to the florist, but they handled it so well that the guests couldn't tell, only we could, and even when we tried to get involved, MLE assured us that it was taken care of, and not to worry. They even went above and beyond in moving some flowers to be better positioned around our mirror guest list, which elevated how the florist had originally planned for. They were very considerate and thoughtful for us by making sure appetizers were set aside for us while we were taking pictures, we were very pleasantly surprised to find a big bowl of our seafood items sitting at our couples table, since we definitely didn't get a chance to get to it. Throughout the night, they made a point to bring us drinks, dessert, help with a small crisis on my mom's side. I really couldn't have imagined having a better coordinator the day of, I wish I had another big event to plan, because I would absolutely go back to them for their services. AND the amazing service doesn't even stop at the wedding day! Their follow up emails to reflect back on what went wrong or what went well shows how much they care about their work. They were very meticulous in addressing any concerns we had that happened on the big day and most importantly, they were honest. They were truthful about the reasons why some things didn't go as planned, and that to us is the most important trait in a coordinator that you can trust them. In the end, they were instrumental in even getting us partial refunds from vendors because of them not holding completely true to their agreements. If you've read this to its end, you don't need to look elsewhere, hire Cindy and her team now! You won't regret it!

She also made sure to provide regular checklists of items to make sure we stayed on track, while also not putting too much pressure on us! Claire handled putting together a gorgeous design brief based on inspiration photos we gathered, which definitely helped as we went through the process of selecting and working with vendors--all of whom were also incredible! An important thing I also want to mention is that I had a sudden health issue flare up partway through our venue search, which set things back by a year. The team was incredibly understanding and checked in periodically while offering well wishes until I was ready to return to planning, and I deeply appreciate how patient they all were during such a difficult time.
