My wife's bridesmaids paid for Liz, Daniel, and an assistant to work our wedding as a shower gift…read more I know the price though and I can say with certainty that it was WELL worth it and is something I would gladly pay for myself in hindsight. We got married at Cravens Estate with 200 guests. Cravens is (or "was" since we were told ours would be the last wedding there; damn those snobby, rich, complaining neighbors!) a venue where you bring everything yourself -- food, booze, tables, chairs, musicians, servers, etc., so as you can imagine there is quite a bit of coordinating that had to be done. Liz's team met with us several times in the six months leading up to our wedding. We had some minor snafus nailing down meeting dates/times because they were coming from out east and we live close to Santa Monica, but we made it work. Our venue added restrictions seemingly every month thanks to those pesky neighbors, and Liz and Daniel were good about brainstorming workarounds with us. As for the big day, everything went great. They basically took care of everything that we were too busy to check on ourselves, and I'm sure they were running around monitoring details as my wife and I rested/socialized/ate/drank/took pictures. Funny story, we actually had forgotten our ceremony candles, and Daniel took off for the nearest mall about a half hour before our ceremony to get us something that would work and came back all out of breath just in time. The effort was much appreciated. They kept things moving and on schedule but also were able to give us an extra minute or two with a table here or there. I brought a few blank checks to the wedding and used one to extend Liz's team a couple more hours. All in all, I highly recommend their services! The peace of mind alone makes it worth hiring them.

I got married on 10/6/12 at the University of Michigan football stadium (aka the Big House)…read more I'm from california and I knew Liz and Dae Gun were good so I hired them to do my wedding in Michigan. They agreed even though they were unfamiliar with the Michigan territory and our venue. We had to also communicate through skype & google chat. Liz's assistants designed and printed our invitations and programs (a separate addition I paid for). I was very picky/specific with the way I wanted them --- football ticket style invitations and foam finger looking paper programs. Everything came out SOOOO perfectly. They did it in a manner so that it was still classy, feminine and cute yet sporty. They are so talented. People even asked if they could save the invitations and email us their rsvp instead of ripping the ticket stub. As for the wedding coordinating, Liz is very very meticulous. Even my venue and vendors were impressed and commented that they have never seen such an organized and detailed timeline. She wants your wedding to be as perfect as possible. We met via computer 3 times where we went over the timeline and other questions she had for us. She asked questions I would have NEVER thought of. She covers everything from the day before to the end of the night so that you come and leave with everything. I am very impressed with the organization of This Is The Day. The day of the wedding went so smoothly. I didn't know of any problems at all. My husband and I were so stress free. We just did everything they told us to do. Our MC had stage fright and ended up not making the flow as smooth, Dae Gun/Liz stepped up and guided him to make sure the flow of the reception went smoothly. Also, the day of, we found out we had to do the korean ceremony (pae bek). Liz and Dae Gun fit it into the schedule so smoothly. No one knew how to put on the head piece of the hanbok and the male hanbok, but Liz and Dae Gun did. They also guided us through the whole pae bek. They are amazing and obviously very experienced. The fact that they were in a different state didn't alter their skillsets at all! I don't know what I would have done without them. THANK YOU THIS IS THE DAY!

Amy was super easy to work with. Our wedding was relatively low demand in terms of structure but…read moreshe went above and beyond to accommodate the oddball requests we had that were outside of the purview of traditional wedding activities. Even somehow found us a Dokkbukki (Korean rice cake) vendor for our cocktail hour (see pictured) She's very good for the "modern" customer. Very capable when it comes to organizing through online systems and knows how to source through social media. Probably good for older folks too, but if you're a younger couple, you'll find her style very easy and efficient.

I'm not sure where to start to describe my experience with Amy…read more I opted for the full planning package given my work schedule, and this was the best decision I ever made. Amy has a talent for somehow being completely on top of things, but without pressuring you. From day one, she was communicative, always available, and always being once stop ahead. And her pricing is so incredibly reasonable. I have had friends who had other planners who charged 2-3x what she does and had horrible experiences. She took the time to explain every detail to us, reminding us when things had to be done, and taking care of literally everything in between. She also somehow knows the best vendors, including caterers, hair/makeup, photographer, DJ etc. As someone who has been to 30+ weddings, I know what it's like when even one of these aspects of the wedding are inadequate. Every guest at my wedding commented on every single aspect of the wedding and how perfect it all was, and that is all thanks to Amy and her team. On wedding day, Amy and her team were there, ready to work, completely on top of every detail where it made it completely effortless for me and my partner. I cannot say enough great things about Amy and White Blossom, and am most definitely referring her to every friend I know who needs a planner for any event. Do yourself a favor, and have White Blossom be your wedding planner.

The Mad Love team took such incredible care of us throughout our entire wedding planning process…read more Cindy was so warm during our first call with her, and it really set the tone for all of our future interactions with the rest of her team! Shasele was our point of contact, and she was kind, thorough, and patient with us as we worked through all of our requirements and asked her a million different questions about the process. 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. Overall we couldn't not have asked for a better planning team to work with, and we're so incredibly grateful to Mad Love Events for making our special day so perfect!

This review is long long overdue, Cindy and her amazing team helped us execute our dream wedding…read moreback in September of 2022 in Malibu, and absolutely recommend them if you guys are even on the fence or looking for a wedding planner/coordinator. 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!

This month, my wedding was held as scheduled, and it received praise from all the guests. However,…read moreI truly cannot take credit for its success, as without Mandy, Dorris, Cecilia, and the other Amormagic staff who were present that day, the wedding would not have gone so smoothly. Looking back, when we decided to plan the wedding within six months, we were overwhelmed because there were simply too many choices, and we didn't know where to start. Fortunately, I came across Amormagic's wedding samples on Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book), and I was immediately captivated by their attention to detail and their keen sense of aesthetics. After sending them a message, I received a reply the very next day, and we quickly scheduled a video call. Mandy gave me a very professional first impression, asking me many questions I had never even thought about. Since my husband and I are both people who dislike hassle and lack creative ideas, we quickly decided to entrust Mandy with the entire wedding design and planning. Throughout the process, I deeply felt that hiring Mandy and her team for wedding planning was worth every penny--truly "value for money." Below is a summary of their services: Key Features: Quick Responses, Always Available, Patient, and Thoughtful During the wedding design process, there were many things I had never heard of or didn't understand. Mandy and Dorris always replied within a few hours, patiently explaining the differences between each option and how they applied to me. Actively Listened to Client Needs, Focused on Key Points, and Organized Since I had never imagined what my wedding would look like, Mandy and Dorris asked me about my preferences in movies and art, and they surprisingly designed a floral color scheme that left me in awe at first glance. They also cleverly incorporated elements from both my and my husband's cultural backgrounds, filling the design with thoughtful details. After the wedding, many guests praised the stunning little touches, and they were particularly delighted with the seating cards, which doubled as gifts. Clear Division of Labor and Smooth Communication From the design phase to the on-site arrangements on the wedding day, everything was well-organized. Every question I had was answered by a dedicated person, making communication seamless. High-Quality, Professional Vendors All the vendors recommended by Mandy exceeded my expectations. The floral arrangements, table linens, cake, DJ, and bridal makeup all delivered top-notch results. A Stress-Free Wedding Day On the wedding day, all the staff were highly professional and dedicated to their roles. The entire event went off without a hitch, except for a minor delay in the cake-cutting ceremony because I got carried away chatting with guests. Cecilia did give me a subtle hint with her eyes that it was time to move on, but I just couldn't help myself. As someone who never dreamed of being a princess but instead admired Heidi running through wildflowers, I am deeply grateful to Mandy and Dorris for uncovering this unspoken dream of mine and bringing it to life. They turned one of the most important days of my life from a vague idea into a beautiful and unforgettable reality.

From the very beginning of the planning process all…read morethe way through our wedding day, Mandy and her team went above and beyond in every possible way. Right after we decided on our wedding date, we started searching for a planner and came across Amormagic on RedNote. Their portfolio immediately caught our attention. They were so professional, patient, and incredibly detail-oriented. Every question we had -- no matter how big or small -- was answered quickly and thoughtfully. They guided us through every step with calmness and confidence, and their organization gave us complete peace of mind leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, everything ran flawlessly. The setup was stunning, the timeline flowed perfectly, and every little detail was handled so seamlessly behind the scenes that we never had to stress about anything. We could truly just be present, enjoy every moment, and spend time with our guests. The day honestly went by so fast -- we wish we could slow down time and relive it all over again because it was just that magical. From the emotional moments to the laughter and joy, everything felt effortless and beautifully coordinated thanks to this amazing team. We're beyond grateful for their support, care, and dedication. Thank you for making our wedding day not only perfect, but also deeply meaningful and unforgettable We couldn't have asked for a better planner or team -- highly, highly recommend to any couple who wants their dream wedding to come to life without the stress!

She is so seamless in her transitions between Cantonese, Mandarin, and English and we love that her fun personality kept everyone engaged throughout the evening! You can tell Kate is incredibly experienced by how flexible she is with any hiccups. There was a brief mix up with our first dance song, and she was such a professional with pivoting to speeches first and making a great transition back into the first dance. She was also so sweet and nice during our planning call, and really made us feel comfortable because she understands all these family dynamics and really helped us feel grounded leading up to the wedding.

Honestly, the wedding coordination service did not feel worth the price we paid. We sourced all of…read moreour own vendors and managed/DIY all of the decoration elements ourselves. The coordinators' involvement was largely limited to basic setup and following the timeline we created together. When issues arose during the wedding, there was a significant lack of communication and problem solving. For example, there were problems with the gate crash games, and the top layer of our wedding cake went missing. As newlyweds, we were not aware that the top layer of the cake is traditionally saved for the first anniversary. Since the coordinators presented themselves as professionals with experience in wedding traditions, we expected them to provide guidance on important customs like this and ensure meaningful details were not overlooked. Instead, no one informed us that the cake layer was missing or explained its significance, and we only found out afterward. Additionally, the coordinators presented themselves as knowledgeable and experienced in Chinese wedding traditions, which was one of the reasons we trusted them. I specifically wanted my family to be present and able to watch the gate crash games. However, everyone was ushered out, leaving me completely alone in the room when my husband arrived to pick me up. This was extremely disappointing, as sharing this tradition with my family was an important part of the experience. The gate crash games also did not go as intended. While my bridesmaids were responsible for carrying out the games, the coordinators should have stepped in when they noticed things were not following the intended format. Given their claimed expertise in Chinese wedding traditions, they should have been able to recognize when the games were not being conducted properly and provide guidance or correction. During the traditional tea ceremony, the positioning was also handled incredibly poorly. We were placed by the photographer in a way that left our backs completely facing the groom's side of the family, meaning his relatives couldn't see a single thing. This is exactly the kind of situation where the coordinator should have spoken up and adjusted the layout, but instead, they stood by and let a deeply meaningful moment be ruined for half of our guests. During speeches, I made it clear everyone was to stand at their seats when giving speeches. Jeannie told one person to stay at her seat but allowed the other two to come onto the stage. Totally not consistent at all! Made that one person look bad for staying at her seat whereas the others went on stage to give their speech. That person at the seat was more important to me than the other two giving speeches! Yet they were not told to stay at their seats and allowed on stage! We also received multiple complaints from our guests regarding the entertainment: * DJ: The music was poorly managed. Every time I left the room for an outfit change, the music stopped completely, which disrupted the flow and atmosphere of the reception. * MC: While the MC was friendly, they did not help create energy or engagement among our guests. We had specifically requested that important announcements and activities be translated into Chinese for our elderly guests. Instead, the reception games were conducted entirely in English. As a result, many of our older guests did not understand what was happening and were unable to participate, leaving only the younger guests involved. Overall, we were extremely disappointed by the lack of communication, oversight, coordination, and cultural consideration. We expected a much higher level of attention to detail, guidance, and support throughout the event.

Sharon is OBJECTIVELY a fantastic partial wedding planner. Why? Because she likely would thrive as…read morea project manager for any project - she just happens to be passionate about weddings. 1. She writes meeting notes for every meeting you have with her - there is always a todo list for you & todo list for her included. 2. Her vendor communication is clear - she not only listened to your preferences, but she documented them in her meeting notes. You are confident that she is aware. This allows her to reply to all vendors exactly with your preferences. 3. You do not have to micromanage her - she already is asking the questions that need to be asked and organizing what you said you wanted (all cc-ed, so you can follow along on the status). 4. No matter how detailed oriented you want the wedding to be, she is right there with you - because she is the MOST detail-oriented. She can handle your complex wedding venue. 5. She anticipates problems and asks you what you would want if something came up. Everything is anticipated ahead of time with a plan A, B & C. 6. She is easy to get along with - for you and vendors alike. Partial planning with Sharon is 100% the way to go. You'll have fun in the wedding process - you get to have a wedding that represents you, you get to participate in opinions & you don't have to stress that it will all come together. As someone who had 2 weddings 1 month apart & 2 wedding planners, I can objectively say Sharon is a true PLANNER. I cannot stress enough that this is what you need - you don't need someone to be social & "understand your vibe" (though Sharon is & did for us). My best wedding planning advice is do not forget you are hiring a wedding PLANNER to be a good PLANNER. If you don't choose Sharon, good luck out there - choosing a wedding planner is a terrifying place to be! I've had both the experience you want & your worst nightmare ~ Sharon was the former.

Sharon was honestly a lifesaver when it came to everything she did for our wedding. As our day-of…read morewedding coordinator, she took initiative on the planning duties a month before the event. On the first day she started working with us, Sharon walked us through her own checklist of what needed to be done, took notes on what we had been working on (i.e. vendors, linens, guest lists, etc.), and was able to compile the information into a solid plan for our wedding day. We met with Sharon each week thereafter over Zoom to discuss how the planning was progressing, where she helped us put together a weekly set of tasks to make sure every detail was taken care of and on schedule. When there was an issue with a vendor, she became our point of contact. Where there was need for clarification concerning something on the itinerary, she made sure it was resolved. Using her knowledge of the wedding industry, Sharon helped refine our ideas to ensure that our vision of a perfect wedding would become a reality. Sharon was the consummate professional, giving prompt and detailed responses to questions by email. We could not imagine not having Sharon by our side on the weekend of our wedding! She flew in from LA to meet us in Napa for our rehearsal and walked through each and every bit of our event with everyone involved. She has so much experience yet never stops to answer our infinite amount of questions or clarify each and every step of the event with us thoroughly until we felt comfortable. On the "big day" she arrived early and was beginning to set up the venue while we got ready. Just knowing she was there was a relief to know things were going to be just fine. Her improvisation is amazing! Little things that we did not anticipate going right she had a perfect solution for, not even needing us to stress about it. One of the tasks she helped with was packing up our cars before the event wrapped up. She asked for a list of which items belongs to who, whether it was the vendor's or a friend's. Sharon then gathered and stored of the belongings in each person's car for easy clean up. It could not have been more easy with Sharon's helping hand and meticulous planning. The thing we appreciated most about Sharon was her friendly demeanor and proactive approach to coordinating our wedding. As thorough and organized as she was, Sharon completely put our minds at ease. Sharon truly served as an invaluable partner throughout the process. Thank you so much Sharon for all that you did!
