    This review is for Suhainah and the BEL team who helped us organize our wedding reception…read more The day of our event, Suhainah and a group of 4-5 other women went above and beyond to make sure our wedding reception went smoothly. They coordinated with all vendors well, directed guests and made the experience stress free. Everyone was so sweet to us and our dog, Rocky. We brought Rocky to our party and they made sure she was taken care of the entire time. It was so thoughtful. Rocky says the team gets 5 stars!

    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.

    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!

Eunice made the wedding process so smooth and easy which is not an easy feat given that my husband and I were clueless and chose a blank canvas wedding venue!Whenever people asked us if we were stressed about wedding planning, we could honestly say no because she kept everything under control. She ensured that every detail was handled and that we stayed on track in the months leading up to the wedding and the day of. We also didn't make it easy on her since we were planning the wedding in LA but lived in the Bay Area. Even then, she went above and beyond for us and generously allowed us to have several wedding items shipped to her home. This made the logistics so much easier for us and was an incredible help during the planning process. Jack and I were able to truly enjoy the planning process and be fully present on our wedding day.

We were completely clueless about the wedding planning process, and after our initial meeting, we knew we were in good hands, so we opted for her full wedding service. Eunice made everything as seamless as possible. From helping us find and book amazing vendors to reviewing invitations and our wedding website, she handled every detail with care. She kept us sane throughout the process, especially in the final month when the stress really kicked in. While the early stages of planning were fun, the final stretch was overwhelming but Eunice was there every step of the way, making sure everything ran smoothly. When we made a last minute decision to hire a videographer, she worked her magic and found one within our budget the week of the wedding! The wedding itself was absolutely beautiful and felt effortless to us. Every detail came together perfectly, and we owe it all to Eunice. She truly made our day special and stress-free. We couldn't have done it without her, and we are so thankful we trusted her to bring our vision to life. If you're looking for a planner who is professional, organized, and genuinely cares, Eunice is the one!

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

While we were based a bit further away from her and her team, distance never felt like a hindrance throughout the planning process. We always felt cared for and seen with our vision for our wedding day. From her organization to her demeanor, Vidhi's calm, considerate and patient presence made us feel so comfortable in sharing our thoughts, goals, and visions for each and every detail. Even when neither of us had a clear vision for certain aspects, Vidhi carefully guided us through our thought processes to perfectly execute more than what we could have dreamed of having. For a traditional South Indian wedding, navigating the intricate nuances and details for the big day takes special care. With a venue-only property as well, there was an additional layer of organization and planning that needed to be done in order for the wedding day to seamlessly come together. From the set-up to operational flow to take down, Vidhi and her team carefully thought of everything to ensure that each and every detail was meticulously thought about and cared for, and we genuinely could not have asked for a better experience on our wedding day! Each and every vendor was an absolute pleasure to work with! Whether it came from the preferred vendors list or from elsewhere, Vidhi ensured that everyone worked seamlessly together throughout the wedding weekend. From negotiating to designing each and every detail, we absolutely fell in love with the care and love in each moment. The thought and intention with each and every detail was so important to us and not only did Vidhi and her team deliver, but it felt so effortlessly us in the most beautiful way. Working with Vidhi and the Marigold Company has been an absolute pleasure! We will miss our regular communications with her and meeting her throughout our planning journey but will forever cherish the memories and of course keep in touch!

She went above and beyond to coordinate with them seamlessly, and her detailed, well-structured timeline made the day run like clockwork. We were truly able to be present and soak in every moment without stress. Planning a very traditional South Indian wedding came with its own set of expectations, and Vidhi navigated all of it with grace--including helping manage family dynamics with empathy and professionalism. Most importantly, she always prioritized our experience as a couple, which helped us stay grounded and joyful through it all. On top of it all, Vidhi is simply a wonderful person--easy to talk to, endlessly patient, and genuinely invested in making her couples feel supported.

She immediately jumped in, took control of the details, and made sure nothing was overlooked. She was incredibly responsive -- no matter how many questions I had, she answered quickly and always made me feel at ease. She was also great at being the main point of contact with all of our vendors, so I didn't have to worry about a thing or play middleman.

His first thought was that she was so easy to talk to and he felt comfortable voicing his opinions to her, which I'm sure can be hard as the groom. She's just a very calming presence and you just know you can count on her. Her professional experience definitely showed throughout the process and during our day. Through wedding planning, I realized that I'm pretty type-A and detail-oriented, but also indecisive! Sharon was so incredibly patient and so accepting of all my ideas and changing my vision throughout the process. This can be very daunting, but she was so reassuring the whole time. I appreciated her responsiveness as well, always getting back to me on a timely process and was always available to talk details and design. She always always always followed through with each step--every email, every loose end. She really held our hand and made the process much easier, especially since it was technically a destination wedding for us. Our wedding was located in Socal because the majority of our friends and family live there, but we are actually local to Boston. Sharon was soo helpful to us from afar and even went to help scout out some places for us--which was not necessary at all but soo helpful to have someone professional lay eyes on places for us that we couldn't see in person. On the big day, our family members were absolutely stunned to say the least and couldn't stop complimenting all the decorations, how smoothly everything went, and most people even said that it was all around the best wedding they've been ever been to! What a compliment. She coordinating soo many moving pieces on the big day--the massive florals, all our crazy rentals and extra vendors, and was soo sweet throughout everything, cool calm and collected which made everyone else involved also calm. We just knew we could trust her fully on the day and really enjoy ourselves. I'm sure she did so much more that we didn't even notice too especially behind the scenes. She's very detail-oriented and often noticed many little things throughout the planning process that we never even thought of. She's just the best. We absolutely love Sharon so much and do not know what we would have done with out her. -Helene and Sinjin
