I met with several planners in OC before hiring Pure Lavish. The first time I met with Samantha, I knew instantly that she was going to take the best care of me and execute my dream wedding. I told her my fiancé is paralyzed and this will need to be an ADA/wheelchair accessible wedding. To some planners, this seemed like a challenge, but to Samantha, she was excited and more than happy to accommodate our needs. From day one, Samantha put our emotions, safety, and accessibility first. Her empathy and compassion were truly commendable and made the entire experience easy and comfortable. She leads with grace, poise, and above all, professionalism. Samantha is extremely reputable and reliable in the wedding industry and it's clear why when you see her put on an event. My wedding was truly a dream come true. It was everything I could've wanted and more. Samantha steered me in the right direction and I never felt pressured to make a decision that I was not comfortable with. Samantha honored our budget and presented cost effective options for every decision. The day of the wedding was the easiest, most peaceful day of my life! Samantha and Brayden from Pure Lavish were by my side every step of the way. I didn't look at a clock the entire day! Brayden was a true girls girl and companion the day of helping me get ready in my bridal suite. Her sense of humor, kindness, and loyalty was unwavering. If something went wrong, I had no idea as Brayden's professionalism and calmness took care of it. She was absolutely incredible. Thank you Pure Lavish for giving me the happiest day of my life filled with unconditional love and support. Thank you to Samantha... a true friend for life. I am so grateful and appreciative for Pure Lavish! read more

This review is so incredibly overdue - where do I even BEGIN?! I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes thinking not only about how perfect our day was but how truly incredible the women of Pure Lavish are. Moral of this story: do NOT sleep on Pure Lavish. Sign with them immediately - your research ends here. Buckle up for our story... Looking for guidance while wedding planning is SO stressful - it's hard to know where to start, especially planning a destination wedding (we live in Northern CA). We had our venue and our photographer but nothing else, so, being the researcher I am, I hopped on Google and began searching for "best planners in Orange County." I found a few options, Pure Lavish included, and started submitting inquiries. I wasn't sure about what kind of support we needed. I think when you start planning, you're like "I can do everything myself and only need minimal support." I was SO wrong - more to come on that. Pure Lavish stood out immediately. Carrie, the owner of PL, was the one to respond to my inquiry with a customized, non-robotic, hilarious email that acknowledged my silly inquiry about not knowing what I needed. That interaction was a huge selling point for me. She quickly set me up with one of PL's planners, Samantha. To say that I clicked with Sam would be the understatement of the century. Her bubbly energy and openness made me feel like I was talking to an old friend. She was so knowledgeable and so helpful in answering my questions about what kind of support we needed. In my original budget, I didn't plan on including a wedding planner, but I quickly realized just how important it was to have an expert as our guide along the way, as well as a creative lens to help with design. We signed with PL almost immediately after and didn't think twice. Over the next few months, it became clear just how well-connected PL is in Orange County. I had a pretty clear vision with a pre-defined budget that Sam knew exactly how to support. She identified all of the right vendors for what we were looking for and what our desired spend was for each part of the wedding. I ended up not doing anything myself and outsourcing everything because we loved all of the vendors so much. The network that PL brings to the relationship is probably one of the biggest considerations you should make as a bride. My mom and I made a few trips down to Southern CA to do live planning, select rentals, tastings, etc - it was SO awesome to see Sam in her element and to experience vendor relationships live. PL has such a stellar reputation in Orange County - that was abundantly clear every time we met someone new that we were working with. No trip to OC will ever be complete without seeing Sam! The time, energy, and excitement that Sam contributed to our wedding were truly incomparable. Her design board and ideas based on my feedback were absolutely perfect. We incorporated 100% of her ideas into our day and made our guests feel so special with all of the personalized recommendations that she made. The attention to detail, the command of the wedding party to keep things in line, and the ridiculous organization skills that she possesses are what defined the overall success of the weekend. On wedding day, the PL team showed up in FULL FORCE. We were so honored to have Carrie there to support us, and our bridal concierge Caroline was the definition of "being in the right place at the right time." A MIND READER! The worst part of the day was my shoe heel breaking (not bad, right?) and Caroline somehow crafted a clay pearl to match the ones on the broken heel. Absolutely brilliant. The PL team has become family. I won't ever be able to thank them enough for making our day the most wonderful day of our lives! I'll also never get sick of the regular flow of compliments that we're still getting 9 months later.... THANK YOU PURE LAVISH! read more

I honestly can't even put into words how grateful I am for our wedding planner Samantha and the entire Pure Lavish team. I had consultations with 5+ different planners in the OC area and knew hiring the right planner would make or break our wedding - hiring Samantha was by far the best decision we made. My husband and I actually live in Texas so I was a little nervous about planning a wedding in a different state but Samantha made the entire process so easy. Throughout the entire year of the wedding planning process I had so many people asking me if I was stressed - and because of Samantha the answer was no I truly never felt stressed. My wedding day was perfect, and if there WAS any issues I was never made aware it because Samantha took care of literally everything! Samantha had impeccable taste when it came to helping me with the design of my wedding, she knew exactly what my vision was and somehow was able to bring that vision to life all while keeping my wedding UNDER my budget. Again - I am so grateful for everything Samantha did for us and for everyone on Pure Lavish Team that contributed the wedding of my dreams! read more

To write this review right now means so much to me. If I could give Gia more than five stars, I would give her every star in the universe. To say she is the best planner in the world doesn't even come close. To say working with her is the best decision I have ever made is an understatement. She isn't just a planner; she is a visionary, a mastermind, and the driving force behind the most flawlessly executed event imaginable. She took my childhood wedding dreams and turned them into a reality that exceeded every expectation. She is brilliant, patience, creative, kind, thoughtful, dedicated, hardworking, loving, professional and a master at her craft. From our very first conversation, Gia's dedication was undeniable. We spent hours on the phone, not just discussing logistics but truly connecting. She took the time to understand us as a couple, ensuring that every detail reflected our vision and personalities. Her patience, kindness, and ability to listen with intention made the entire process feel effortless. She wasn't just our planner--she became a trusted friend, a confidante, and truly by the end she felt like an honorary bridesmaid. I would not have been able to do this without her. On the wedding day, Gia was everywhere and everything. Everything from helping me bustle my dress to helping me into my second dress, to making sure my husband and I were eating and drinking, ensuring I felt confident and taken care of, all while seamlessly managing every aspect of the event. She is both a pillar of support and a commanding presence. She is an extraordinary leader who ensured every moment was executed with precision. Every transition, every vendor, every moving part was perfectly coordinated down to the second. Not a single thing went wrong because of her meticulous planning, and my bridal party was literally chanting her name because we loved her so much. "Gia, Gia, Gia". I cannot even tell you the impact she had on every single one of us!!! What sets Gia apart is not just her warmth and creativity but also her unparalleled attention to detail and ability to navigate any challenge with absolute grace. No matter what arose--family dynamics, last-minute adjustments, or unexpected hurdles--she handled everything with professionalism beyond measure. She remained calm, proactive, and solutions-oriented, ensuring I felt completely at ease. She was selfless beyond measure and always there for me, no matter what. Gia went above and beyond in every possible way. She made our wedding not just an event, but an experience--one that we will cherish forever. Several friends and family said it was the best wedding they had ever attended and I can ensure you, it was because Gia made the day run so smoothly and look so beautiful. Choosing Gia was the best decision I ever made, and I cannot imagine this journey without her. She is everything and more--an exceptional planner, a visionary, and a friend for life. If you have the opportunity to work with Gia, don't hesitate. She will not only bring your dream wedding to life--she will make it even more extraordinary than you ever thought possible. read more

Carrie and her team just completed planning our wonderful wedding at Five Crowns in Corona Del Mar on November 4, 2022.

Pure Lavish was a dream come true!! Lauren and her team made my whole wedding planning process so smooth! Hired Lauren in late 2019 for a wedding planned in Sept 2020, however COVID happened and unfortunately shifted everything to be postponed a year out. Even with all the unknown happening, she never once made me feel unsure about proceeding with the wedding planning. Always provided positive thoughts, She was great throughout the entire process of having contracts updated with new wedding date and great when looking for vendors! Reassuring me time after time everything would be okay even though we were planning a wedding while a whole pandemic was occurring. On September 18,2021 my husband and I finally got MARRIED!! Sam and Lauren on the big day were the best team, they were all hands on with anything needed for myself and my bridal party! Thank you PURE LAVISH/ Thank you Lauren for making all my dreams come true and bringing all the vision to life! Thank you Sam for being my own personal assistant on the BIG day :p..... you both are GEMS! read more

If you are reading this because you are looking for a professional wedding planner who you can trust, who will treat your time and money like their own, who will make your wedding absolutely beautiful, and who will ensure your day is stress free, stop looking and just hire Caroline Leggio!! I know this is a long review, but I promise it is worth the read.... Caroline Leggio was our lead planner and designer. Her kindness, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail are unmatched. What makes Caroline so special is that she truly cares about her couples and she always puts them first. Trust me, Caroline is THE woman you want on your side throughout the process and on the big day! During the planning process, Caroline saw our wedding vision and listened to us. She created an absolutely beautiful design that was elevated, unique, and elegant. It was everything we could have dreamed of and more! She was not just respectful, but actually protective of our budget and treated every single dollar as if it was her own - advising us on what she felt was worth the spend and suggesting various ways that we could save. She answered endless emails and calls with patience and grace. She was always responsive, transparent, and happy to answer questions we had. She provided her recommendations, always looked for solutions, and created a stress-free planning experience for us. Caroline is also extremely organized. She remembers every detail, even things we may have forgotten, and ensures they are completed. She was ALWAYS one step ahead of us - proactively sending emails to vendors, getting quotes, setting things up, and thinking of ways to make things better and easier for us without ever being asked. She truly went above and beyond. Caroline helped us assemble an all-star vendor team for our wedding. Her recommendations for vendors were amazing and each vendor we worked with was a master at their craft - from the florist, to rentals, stationary, videography, DJ, and more. She not only helped us pick the best vendors to execute our vision, but also people who were genuinely nice and supportive. On top of it all, Caroline has the most incredible positive attitude and demeanor. She was not just a wedding planner, she became part of the family. She is a friend to everyone. Our venue and vendors loved working with her. As we were checking out of the hotel after the wedding, the hotel manager came up to us to share how much she loved Caroline! For a 5 star hotel who does a lot of high end weddings, that says something! Our friends and family can also not stop raving about her, because each and every one of them had such positive interactions with her. On the day of the wedding, Caroline and the Pure Lavish team were cool, calm, collected and complete professionals. Caroline managed everything perfectly and once again, went above and beyond to make each detail beautiful. She brought such a positive energy to our wedding and truly cared about making it the best day possible for us. On the wedding day, she even helped wipe sand from my shoes after running on the beach for photos. She hates feet, but she loves her brides more! Once again, this is just one of many instances of Caroline doing what she does best - treating each bride like family and going out of her way to make sure your wedding is perfect for you. Caroline was also accompanied by Samantha Oropallo on the wedding day, who was our bridal concierge. WOW!! Sam and Caroline are the absolute dream team. While Caroline was running the whole production, Sam stayed with me and the bridesmaids to help us get ready. Sam was a lifesaver on the wedding day - she brought organization, positivity, and joy to a busy day. She helped me into my dress, fixed my hair, assisted my mother, gave me food and water, and rode around on a golf cart with me all day. Somehow, she also managed to wrangle 12 bridesmaids, 11 groomsmen, and 4 parents, and 1 grandparent. She even helped my husband cover up a stain on his shirt the morning of the wedding. She is truly a lifesaver and an absolute gem. I had no idea how instrumental she would be on the wedding day. We would have been a mess without her. She made both my husband and I feel so taken care of and at ease - we will never forget her kindness and compassion that day. Thank you Sam for making our wedding day so enjoyable and easy!! If you have read this review and choose to hire Caroline Leggio as your wedding planner, consider yourself lucky because you just hit the jackpot. You would be hard pressed to find anyone more capable, talented, smart, fun, thoughtful, and kind to help you plan your perfect day. Hiring Caroline was the best decision we ever made and we cannot wait to work with her for other events for many years to come! We will never be able to thank Caroline, Samantha, Carrie, Calista, Amanda, and Chloe at Pure Lavish for making our wedding perfect. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! read more

Tori Former from Pure Lavish was absolutely AMAZING!! Words cannot express my gratitude for Tori and the Pure Lavish Family. My wedding was something out of a magazine! It was the PERFECT wedding and it's all because of her. I came to them with a simple idea and they worked their magic and brought it to life. If you think you don't need a wedding planner, think again she made the whole process so simple and being out of state stress free! She always made us feel as though she had everything 100% under control. I loved everything she came up with! She respected my input and added her special designer eye to my ideas.

After booking our dream wedding venue at the Monarch Beach Resort, I knew Pure Lavish Events would be the perfect planning company to turn our vision into a reality. I decided to book the partial planning package and add a design meeting. My planner, Tori Former, was the best to work with! She is so sweet, professional, knowledgeable, and honest! I trusted her design suggestions, vendor recommendations, and everything in between. She also responded to my many emails and questions so quickly, which made me feel at ease throughout the whole process. On the day of the wedding, the Pure Lavish team made me feel so comfortable. Julianne spent the day with us while we were all getting ready, and she really helped calm my nerves and made sure we stayed on time. The whole day - getting ready, first look, family photos, grand entrance, sunset photos, first dance, grand exit, etc - ran smoothly. When the reception was over, all of the decor I brought (guest book, vases, candles, framed photos) was already packaged up and neatly put away in our room by the time we got there! They even adorned our room with rose petals which was such a nice touch. We have been complimented by so many guests on how organized and beautiful the wedding was and I really couldn't have done it without the Pure Lavish team. I would do it all again with Tori in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for everything you have done - you are absolutely amazing + talented in your craft & we will forever be grateful for you!

Where do I even begin with this review?! Pure Lavish Events is honestly the best thing thats ever happened to me for my wedding. I searched for quite a few months for the perfect wedding planners, and one phone call with Pure Lavish, and I was 100% sold on hiring them. They have a dedicated team of HEROES as I like to call them. I feel so fortunate to have found them. They worked so hard to make sure everything I wanted for my big day was ALL to my liking. They are truly experts when it comes to this. I can confidently say my wedding turned out to be everything I wanted it to be because of them. I was originally working with Carrie when I first began planning, but unfortunately due to covid, I was in a tough position to have to reschedule my wedding, but everything happens for a reason as I say, and I was so lucky to be paired with yet another amazing team member, Samantha. I can't even thank her enough for everything she did for me. I also worked with Lauren from their team for all my design details, and I must have driven her insane with my indecisiveness. I don't know what I would have done without the two of them. They made all my wedding dreams come true. Even the smallest details that I never even thought of, they DID. So, all that to say, Pure Lavish are not just event planners, they are Heroes in my eyes. They were there for me every step of the way, available to answer Any and ALL questions for me, and they truly do care about your vision and making everything possible. Take my word for it, and hire them for your event needs. They are the GOAT. Love you guys! I wish I could get married again just so that I could work with them again. I will cherish all of our memories! read more

First of all, if you are looking for a wedding planner there is no more need to search! Pure Lavish (and Tori Former, especially) not only exceeded all our expectation but was so delightful to work through the process of planning our dream day. Tori would go out of her way to check in with me and all the vendors at least once a week. She pushed for us and completely saw my vision the entire way through. On the day of, she was extremely organized calm and professional but also just so sweet! I enjoyed my day more than I imagined and everything was picturesque! Seriously worth every Penny! Thank you Tori and Pure Lavish for making the day of my dreams, truly the best day ever! read more

Let me start this by saying that I am incredibly thorough and do a lot of research. If that's you too, the good news is your research can stop here if you're looking for THE BEST wedding planners/coordinators. You can rest assured that you're making the right decision and seriously, just check this one off your list and move on to all the other things you have to start thinking about!! :) The Pure Lavish team is phenomenal. Lauren was our wedding coordinator and from day one she was there to help walk me through the entire process (I had no idea how much there was to planning a wedding!). She was so quick and detailed in her responses and has an enormous amount of experience which continually set me at ease. She's a master!! Lauren was great at keeping us on track and had very sound suggestions and advice. She understood my vision and priorities and helped me create my day around that. Our wedding turned out better than I could have ever imagined! I kid you not when I say that it all went seamlessly. The day flowed effortlessly and I felt SO CALM. Sam was my bridal concierge and if you can, request her. She is AMAZING. I don't know if I can find the words to express how crucial her role was in making my day what it was. She is a PRO at what she does. She was with me the whole day and was on top of every single second and every little detail. In the meantime, Lauren was working her magic making sure that when I walked down the aisle and into the reception, every little thing was exactly where it was supposed to be and timed out perfectly. People could not stop raving about them to me! Thanks to Lauren and Sam, Josh and I were able to be fully present with one another (and our guests) :) I can't say enough good things about these two and we are forever grateful for their help and support. Thank you for making our special day the most profoundly meaningful experience of our lives. read more

I don't even know where to begin!!! Anyone who is getting married needs Pure Lavish Events in their lives. Our wedding would not have been what it was without Pure Lavish! Hands down, my husband and I agree that it was the best investment we made for our wedding. Every person on the team was so professional, helpful, and so sweet! Our lead planner/designer, Lauren, is a wedding planning angel! Seriously, she is THE BEST. She was so quick to respond to any little question, idea, or concern, and truly became a friend through the wedding planning process. Our meetings were efficient and productive, yet also like hanging out with someone we had known forever. She recommended the best vendors and created a dream team for our wedding. Lauren kept us on track with planning, had amazing ideas, and was just as happy and excited for our wedding as we were! I am having wedding planning withdrawals already! She exceeded any and all expectations we had. We miss youuu Lauren! The day of our wedding was perfect. It's true, your wedding day goes by entirely too fast, BUT thanks to Pure Lavish Events, we were able to actually enjoy our day. We didn't have to worry about a thing! Lauren and Tori (my bridal concierge) made sure that we ate, had a drink in our hands, and were taken care of the entire night. My husband and I did a "first look" of our reception and I bawled my eyes out because Lauren is magic and created magic in our ballroom. It was perfection! Our timeline was executed flawlessly, and we had time for everything we wanted and more! We were even able to enjoy part of cocktail hour and mingle with guests, take photos in our photo booth, and spend time with our loved ones. The PL team behind the scenes made sure everything ran so smooth and not one detail was missed. If something went wrong, I have absolutely no clue because they handled everything. Our friends and family are still complimenting us on having such a beautiful & well-planned wedding, and that is all thanks to Lauren & Pure Lavish Events. THANK YOU PL for making our wedding dreams come true! It truly was the best day ever. We love you and will forever be thankful!!!! Love, Mr. and Mrs. Chavez read more

It's been 5 months since my daughter's wedding and I had to write a review about the amazing, flawless job that Caroline and her team did for us. There are so many things to remark on I hope I don't forget anything. From initial meet we knew we had found the right planner. Caroline is sweet, caring, attentive and extremely knowledgable. She listened to our needs and wants and made suggestions that enhanced our thoughts and desires. She knew our budget and kept us apprised ALL ALONG THE WAY when we were getting close. Her relationship with all the vendors we used is long standing and one of great respect. She gave us her best team of vendors and worked with them closely to fulfill our vision. She listened to us, really listened. And she remembered when we said "this is non negotiable it HAS to be this way". No complaints from her. She was available every time we needed her; no call or text went unanswered. When rain came into the forecast she jumped into plan B mode and although we hadn't planned on tenting, I now can't imagine not having done it. The tents were spectacular. You didn't feel like you were in a tent, at all. The flowers, the flowers, the FLOWERS!!! We had so many beautiful flowers in these tents along with many, many candles. I've never been to or seen a more beautiful reception space. And I've been to a lot of nice weddings in my lifetime. Caroline took our vision to a whole new level of beauty. Not only were the ceremony and reception spaces stunning, the day of the wedding could not have gone smoother. Not one issue. Not one! It was the most relaxed, meaningful and beautiful day. My daughter and I had tears in our eyes for most of the day. Happy tears, grateful tears. My daughter said something to me when we first started planning that stuck with me through the entire process. I had mentioned to her that there would be bumps along the way, times of disagreement and maybe even anger. That weddings are stressful. And she said "but it doesn't have to be that way Mom. It should be and can be fun and memorable". Pure Lavish and Caroline, thank you for making this day exactly what we had hoped for. The process WAS fun, and memorable, and very meaningful. One of, if not THEE, most special time in our mother daughter relationship. Without you, I shudder to think what we might have ended up with. We will never forget all that you did for us. read more

Carrie and her amazing team made our wedding a day we didn't have to stress over and the small details. From our first phone call to the day of the event, everybody we met on the Pure Lavish team was extremely personable and professional, which helped my (now) husband and I feel at ease in choosing them to help with day of coordination. We live out of state from our wedding site and all the open communication with Carrie and Alexa made sure all of our small little details were carried out to our expectations. Thanks so much for all your work towards making our wedding a day we will never forget. You're all amazing! read more

The best money we spent!! Working with Gia was amazing! From the very first time we met with her we knew we were in good hands. She made everything a breeze and I knew that we wouldn't have to worry about a thing on our wedding day. She is extremely organized, prompt, and kind. We could not have asked for a better wedding planner. She made sure we had everything we needed, answered all of our wedding questions and even found us a last minute photo booth when ours had to cancel THE MORNING OF! We also had her assistant Sam with us on the day-of who was equally as impressive. All around amazing experience! Thank you Pure Lavish Events, Gia and Sam!! read more

Just had our wedding a little over a week ago (no photo yet!). I have to say that they're not lying when they say hiring a wedding planner is the best decision you can make! We worked with Lauren. She has been so on-point from day one! She responded to all of our emails within 24 hours and dealt with all behind-the-scenes stuff for us. I didn't have to read a single vendor insurance! Because of her, I was able to be as clueless as I wanted to be (e.g., I had no idea what any of the vendors was doing or when they were doing it on the wedding day). Just before the wedding, everyone was saying to me "you must be really busy and stressed out" and I was all "nope, not really". Anyway, hiring a wedding planner really does worth it and going with Pure Lavish really is the right choice! read more

Where do I begin? Pure Lavish was like family by the end of the wedding planning process. I can honestly say this wedding would NOT have happened if it wasn't for Pure Lavish. Pure Lavish was there from day one and I always felt like a priority no matter how far away the wedding was (or how close). They were so open to our ideas (we wanted to do a Chinese Tea Ceremony and include our French Bulldog in the ceremony). Pure Lavish was there every step of the way. They made sure I stayed on track despite my heavy work schedule. They had excellent recommendations and really narrowed the vendor search list to my budget and style. The wedding day itself was a dream. I cannot stop smiling and thinking about this wedding. It was flawless and my husband and I didn't need to lift a finger, which is an amazing feat. Everything down to the individual items were placed where we wanted them to be. It was truly an unbelievable day made by Pure Lavish. read more

My goodness! Where to begin... So Pure Lavish was the second wedding coordination team my fiance (at the time) and I met with. The first one wanted to charge us almost double what Pure Lavish charged us. I already had my venue, photographer, DJ, and florist. They took that into consideration when giving us a price for their coordination services. Each package is customized to the individual which I love! I met Carrie over a year before my wedding and I fell in love with her! At the end of our conversation she said, "Sadly I'm not available on your day, but McKenna is the Executive Event Coordinator and she can be your coordinator if you choose to move forward with us". I was a little skeptical at first because I thought Carrie would do the best job since she was the owner. So a few days later we met McKenna and we hit it off with her immediately! I walked away and texted Carrie that we would love to work with McKenna and Pure Lavish. Before the wedding I worked with Carrie, McKenna, and Kevin (the designer) to help get all my ducks in line. McKenna met me at my venue a few months before the wedding to see in person what my venue looked like. The day of we had McKenna and 3 interns helping us. They were absolutely amazing! My wedding was even more amazing than I could have ever imagined! Everything was sooooo perfect and if anything went wrong I had no idea it happened. My fiance (at the time) wasn't sure if we really needed one since we already had a lot picked out. Afterwards, he realized how much Mckenna and team assisted the day of. We didn't have to worry about anything except to enjoy one of the happiest days of our lives. After my wedding I was emailing my DJ and he told me that McKenna was awesome and he has never seen a wedding coordinator work so hard at the reception. He said most of the coordinators he sees will sit down and not do anything when the reception starts. I most definitely will recommend Pure Lavish to anyone I come in contact with. read more

Like most girls on a budget, I intended on planning my own wedding but after running around in circles for months getting nowhere I remembered I had contact in event planning and decided to contact Carrie for direction. I had worked with Carrie for years and always remembered what an amazing job she did for all my work events. I called Carrie hoping she could point me in the right direction and it was NO surprise to learn that she had ventured off on her own to do what she always loved and was now a full blown event planner! After my first meeting with Carrie I was blown away with not only her knowledge of planning a wedding, I was also impressed with all her team had to offer. BINGO- I knew she was my girl! Instantly Carrie made me feel important providing me with so many great vendors to choose from and stayed in close contact with me every step of the way. I got to meet the AMAZING Kevin for a design review and my husband and I immediately fell in love with all his ideas and with HIM! Kevin really knows his stuff and I knew every detail would be perfect! I am so thankful to Carrie and her amazing team at Pure Lavish Events for making my wedding the BEST day of my life!! All her vendors were PERFECTION and the entire Pure Lavish team was beyond professional and SO friendly. I think the best part was watching Carrie and her team interact with our family and friends as if we had all known each other for years. All our guests were overly impressed with every detail and we all know it was not me! Thanks Carrie, Kevin and the PLE team. It's a shame that getting married every year is a bad thing because I would be doing it all over again ASAP with you! When I reminisce about our perfect wedding day all the years of my life- I will always remember you and your team, Carrie. Thank you!! -Priscilla and Johnny. read more

Pure Lavish Events - More than I expected! - Wedding Planning Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

If I had one advice for all future brides, it would be to hire a planner, more specifically Pure Lavish Events, and I would highly recommend Lauren!! She was our planner/designer and I honestly can't even imagine wedding planning without her. From our first meeting to the end, she made wedding planning so fun and as stress-free as can be. I would have random freak outs and Lauren always knew the answers to ease my pain. Thinking back and seeing how many weddings she works on, I'm amazed at how fast she responded to my emails and texts, at all hours of the day. I never had time to even worry because she got back to me quickly with a solution. I love the fact that she always stayed so professional, but also became a friend along the way. That's how you know she's not just doing a "job", she really puts her heart into it! I can't tell you how important it is for a bride. She always checked up on us to make sure we're on track with planning and always gave great recs whenever we needed. I definitely would have been lost without her! Even with planning our wedding day timeline, we had so much to fit in, but Lauren made it all work into our schedule without us feeling too overwhelmed. Fast forward to the wedding day, it couldn't have been more perfect. First of all, Pure Lavish provides you with a day of bridal concierge!! Our was Gia and from the minute she got to our hotel room, she jumped into action, helped set up detail shots, poured champagne, made sure my hair was on point - all the little details you wouldn't think you'd need help with!! Gia kept us on track with our timeline throughout the day, during all the photo sessions, Gia even held my bouquet to give me a break (who knew bouquets can feel like 50 lbs). I also had a makeup mishap right before the ceremony and she saved my life. I will forever be thankful for that, Gia!! Lauren and the rest of the PL team worked behind the scenes and when I first saw our ceremony setup and ballroom, I cried my eyes out. It was so beautiful and beyond my imagination!! You don't realize how much goes into a wedding and because of Lauren and her team, we had the wedding of our dreams. Our wedding became my own Pinterest goals!! Even my mom praised how amazing Lauren was- seeing her in action during our rehearsal and throughout the wedding day. Her attention to detail is spectacular, she really is great at what she does! My husband and I trusted her completely and we miss planning our wedding with her. If I could redo my wedding, I'd choose Lauren over and over again. Our biggest gratitude to the best team ever, we can never thank you enough. Thank you so much again Lauren, Gia and the rest of the PL team for being a part of our most magical day and spared nothing when it comes to your couple. July 21st will forever hold a special place in our hearts and so will you guys. We love Lauren & the Pure Lavish team!! xoxo read more

I could say a million thanks to the PL team but it wouldn't be enough to show them how appreciative I am to have them be a part of my entire wedding planning process. I don't know how to put into words how great they really are, so I'll just share my story. After I got engaged, we started planning our engagement party. If that wasn't enough, my job relocated me and I had jaw surgery lined up. Before I knew it, we had been engaged for a year and there were no plans for the wedding. I knew it was time to call in the troops. I spent days researching wedding planners. I had an unlimited budget for a wedding planner (as I think it is a bridal necessity). I reached out to all sorts of wedding planners and held MANY interviews. When I met with Carrie and Kevin, we hit it off immediately. Not only did they understand my vision, but most importantly, they understood that I wanted to be a guest at my own wedding. I explained that I wanted to have the most fun at my wedding since I was the one paying for it! The wedding planning process went really smooth. I was sooooo happy to have the PL team at my vendor meetings and tastings. My family and friends are located in the Bay Area. They couldn't make it out to the OC for all of the meetings. PL was a great substitute. Our meetings were filled with tons of laughter. The meetings were so much fun for me that I would forget that they were there to do work. Nonetheless, they would ask all the right questions and handle all of the contact information. One thing about me, I'm an impulse shopper. If I like it, I buy it. The wedding was no exception to that rule. I would browse the internet and find wedding vendors I liked. I would book it and then let Carrie know. Lucky for me, Carrie was extremely accommodating to my impulse buys. She would get a hold of the vendors, review our contracts and take over from there. Another quirk of mine, I'm extremely last minute. I hadn't given the wedding too much attention until my last day of work, which happened to be two days before the wedding. As soon as I got home that night, I realized all of things that I had forgotten to discuss with Carrie and started to have a mini panic attack. I sent her a ton of e-mails with things that I had forgotten and items I wanted to review. Carrie addressed each and every single e-mail within minutes. Wedding day was perfection! I woke up, got some Starbucks, hung out with the bridal party and had my hair/makeup done. That was it! I did literally nothing else. When I arrived at the venue, the entire PL team was running around the venue working on last minute details. They looked like a bunch of busy bees, but they each found the time to stop by, say hello and tell me how beautiful I looked! I got into my wedding dress and before I knew it, the PL team had us lined up and out the door for the ceremony. When I got out to the reception area, every single vendor was exactly where they needed to be and every piece of decoration was placed exactly where I had envisioned it to be. The only thing I did on my wedding day was laugh, take pictures, drink and dance. Nobody, not even myself, would have realized that PL had us on a very detailed and timely schedule. Everything flowed so smoothly. The PL team put me exactly where I needed to be, when I needed to be there. I had no sense of time or schedule. Lucky for me, they had it covered. We did everything I wanted to do during the wedding. The next morning was even better. Naturally, I had a bit much to drink and I couldn't remember where I left my jewelry, shoes, etc. Luckily for me, the PL team had boxed up everything important (even all of the decorations). And to top it all off, the wedding venue was spotless. I actually didn't have to do anything. My hubby just had to load me into the car :p. Icing on the cake, Carrie had mailed out our marriage certificate. Who thinks of that?!? Now that the wedding planning process is over, I miss them all! Maybe it's time to throw another wedding? read more

Pure Lavish Events knows what they're doing!!! Sam, our principal planner, was amazing from the get-go! She made the process of choosing a coordinator easy and the wedding planning process smooth and stress free! She's just so approachable, organized, communicative, and passionate about her work. I don't know what we would've done without her! We contracted Pure Lavish in March, 6 months prior to our wedding date, and immediately Sam began emailing me her preferred vendors, inspirations, and contacts to guide me to the vision we were looking for. We absolutely loved all the Vendors recommended by Pure Lavish and Sam was behind the scenes, tying up all the loose ends without us having to get involved. This made planning so easy knowing Sam had it all under control. On the day of the Wedding, the Pure Lavish Team did a lot of behind the scenes work to ensure our wedding went smoothly. My bridal concierge, Caroline Smith, was an amazing support and helped ease my stress all day long. She also captured a ton of incredible moments for me on her iphone that I got to relive on her Instagram story. Sam was so helpful in getting everything organized and went above and beyond making sure the vendors and bridal party knew where to be and when. With her help, we were really able to focus on our day with family and friends and not the timeline of events. My husband and I didn't have to worry about set up or breakdown or which items belonged to us or vendors and PL even packed up tokens of our wedding for us to take home. Our wedding turned out to be the perfect day because of Sam Wolf and the Pure Lavish Team. I would definitely recommend them to anyone planning a wedding. Thank you Sam and Pure Lavish Events! read more

Pure Lavish helped me create the DREAM TEAM for my wedding... from the suggested caterer, to the florist and photographer I could not have been more pleased. I was completely overwhelmed with the infinite options of different vendors and pinterest ideas that I needed some trusted guidance. As soon as I met with Carrie I knew she was going to care about my wedding, even the smallest details, like I would. Not only was planning seamless, the day of my wedding was completely stress free. The Pure Lavish team took total charge of all the decor I threw in a box and transformed the venue to my dream wedding. THANK YOU Carrie, Kevin, Alexa, and Christina you were all absolutely wonderful. read more

If you want a PERFECT WEDDING hire Pure Lavish Events!!!! From the beginning, middle and throughout the end, they were spectacular!! Planning the wedding with Sam was easy, organized and everything seemed beyond my imagination. Until my wedding... everything I dreamed of came true and beyond. Thank you to everyone at Pure Lavish Events!!!!! read more

The best decision I made was hiring Pure Lavish Events for our wedding! I got engaged in October 2020 and got married at the Ritz Carlton, Laguna Niguel in July 2021. Planning a wedding in the midst of a pandemic was definitely not an easy one, but our wedding coordinator, Tori Rowles helped make the process such an easy one even during times of uncertainty. Being the first one in my family to get married, we had no idea where to start or what to do. We interviewed a few places and fell in love with Tori's personality, attention to detail and hard work! She was always available via text, email or phone call if I had any questions at all. Our wedding day was such a dream come true and I can't thank Tori, Samantha and her team enough! I would recommend Pure Lavish for anyone looking to plan their weddings. They will not disappoint :) read more

Words Cannot begin to explain my gratitude for Pure Lavish, Lauren and her team were absoulelty remarkable. They were bar far the best decision I made while wedding planning. Lauren was my main event planner- however she not only exceeded my expectations for the wedding day but she was able to assist me with much more than just day of coordination- she was available by cell, phone, and email at any point I needed assistance and did not waiver from helping me even if it was not directly in her contract. I would recommend Lauren and her team any time over and over again! Thank you SOO much for all you done for me on our wedding day! read more

Lauren at Pure Lavish brought our biggest wedding dreams to life, and we could not be more grateful! She helped us navigate everything seamlessly and was always there to answer our numerous questions. 2020 has been a crazy year, but despite covid she helped create the most perfect wedding. It was beyond what we could have imagined and we owe it all to her! Even my husband won't stop talking about how great she was. Thank you so much! We could not recommend Lauren and the Pure Lavish team more. read more

I chose the day-of wedding coordinating option because I wanted to stay within budget and do most of the planning myself. I chose Carrie because she was on top of thing and was very easy to reach and helpful in making suggestions for my vendor list. I didn't end up using her recommendations but really appreciate her going above and beyond to provide advice and assistance. The only thing I would have liked in hindsight was better communication in advance with my vendors and a walk-through since there were a few aesthetic things that in I wish I had the chance to make changes to. We also would have liked more help at the end of the event and wish the team had stayed as it got a bit hectic. My guests had to stay behind to help us tidy up and load the belongings into our cars at the end. Overall, I appreciate Carrie and her team for helping make the day flow nicely. I really enjoyed my wedding day and Carrie and her team helped make my visions come true. read more

I cannot say enough great things about Pure Lavish. Tori was our wedding planner and she truly went above and beyond for our special day. She communicates so effectively and quickly, she is on top of everything, and so organized. She made our day so perfect and it's truly because of her and her hard work throughout the entire planning process. She always gave great recommendations and advice along the way. On the day of the wedding I had Samantha helping out as well and wow, she is also incredible! She made sure we had everything we needed and helped me get ready and stay looking my best all night. I'm so grateful for Pure Lavish and their assistance to ensure we had the wedding of our dreams! read more

The entire PL team is incredible. I felt so happy and calm on our wedding day and I know it is because they were taking care of all the craziness behind the scenes. Carrie was the first vendor I contacted and hired after getting engaged so she was my right had (wo)man from the beginning. Her and Kevin really know what they are doing and it shows in their work! Carrie directed me toward all the best vendors (Kaysha Wiener Photography, Cakes to Celebrate, and Jukebox the band, just to name a few) and I could not have been more impressed by each one. This was huge for me since I work full time and was not able to research and sift through the thousands that come up on google. On wedding day we provided boxes of decor and they went to town making our ceremony and reception areas look like a dream. It was like they knew what i wanted without me having to say it. I would highly recommend hiring Pure Lavish at and stage of your planning or for any event. They just get it! read more

You guys! I can't even begin to explain how wonderful Pure Lavish Events is! I worked with Lauren at a wedding in Joshua Tree. The details, the attention to detail, the caring sweet nature of these women is unsurpassed! I just adored working with these gals! If you want your wedding to be taken care of, and not have to worry about anything - I highly suggest you hire them! read more
