The backdrop and the entire setup turned out even better in person, making her milestone celebration soooooo special and memorable. I highly highly recommend Sky Meadow Place! read more

I used SMP for my son's dohl and they smashed it out of the park! From the initial phone calls to the many check-ins from Ellen, I felt like we were very well taken care of. Ellen is a wizard when it comes to creativity and ideas. I asked for a Pride and Prejudice meets Bridgerton vibe for our baby boy, and she definitely delivered. She came up with the entire concept and was able to make our dohl dreams come true! Her team is also on top of it. I was impressed with how much they actually build on the day of the event! They're amazing. We did the emcee package (without Ellen and with another one of her staff members) and they all did a fantastic job making our event run smoothly and keeping us on schedule. If you're looking for a company to put together a dohl to remember, def hit up SMP! read more

Ellen and her team are the best. She planned our dohl for our baby this year and our older baby 2 years ago. And if we are blessed to have another we will definitely use her again whether our party is big or small. Ellen meets with us regularly in a cadence that is perfect and keeps us organized giving us peace of mind. She stays on top of everything and gives us simple action items to make sure we're on track for the upcoming dohl. She has a list of vendors and can bring our preferences to life with her input and extensive experience. Parenting is stressful and planning a party that can get as busy as a wedding can be stressful. But with Ellen, she makes the whole process stress free and works with us to make sure we have the party we desire. Ellen and her team are the absolute best and the rate is well worth it. read more

The best planner! Planning a first birthday with 2 kids while working as a stay at home mom is tough but having Ellen and her team allowed me to just leave it all up to her.

The birthday party went super smoothly and everyone was happy with how it went! read more

Ellen is an utmost professional and expert in the event planning field. Her team recently helped us host an opening ceremony for our company. We were very specific and meticulous about what we wanted for our event and Ellen not only met all our requests but she somehow made everything even better than what we envisioned. I would like to highlight her flexibility and adaptability to different situations. When planning for the event, some unexpected things came up that forced us to change certain things about our event design. Thanks to Ellen we were able to navigate through these changes and we are so happy that we were able to host an amazing opening ceremony. Huge shoutout to Ellen and Sky Meadow Place, thank you for your services! :) read more

Could not have asked for a better Doljanchi experience with Sky Meadow Place. As a non-Korean, planning this event for my Korean daughter was initially intimidating. My partner and I attended a Doljanchi prior to our daughter's arrival and were introduced to Ellen. We heard great things and witnessing first hand how she executed was an immediate yes for us. Come the time we needed to plan our daughter's event, Ellen and her team of wonderful individuals were professional, communicative, supportive, listened, and created the vision. I had so much relief knowing Ellen had our back. We received so many compliments on the decor, set-up, and overall implementation from our guests. Thank you Sky Meadow Place for making this milestone and unforgettably special experience! read more

We had a wonderful experience with Sky Meadow Place for our daughter's first birthday party! The backdrop Ellen designed for us was incredible and felt uniquely ours. Everything turned out beautifully, and with the help of their MC services, everything went smoothly as well. I knew I made the right choice when I noticed how not stressed I was the week before the big day. It's definitely a financial commitment, but truly we received more than we paid for in terms of creativity, professionalism, expertise, and all the extra little touches! read more

Ellen and her team planned our daughter's dohl and we were blown away with how beautiful our decorations were! Our guests were so impressed. We had originally planned for the event to be at the park, but due to last minute rain, we had to pivot two days before the party. This normally would've ruined my day, but Ellen's infectious and positive attitude got me through what could've been the most stressful few days! She brought forth fresh new ideas for an indoors event and seamlessly brought everything together as if she had planned to have it there from the start. I highly recommend Ellen's team for all your events!! read more

You ever wish you could just show up to your own event with minimal planning and once it's done, just leave? Well, you can do that with Ellen and her team! She planned my son's first birthday party and it was beyond what I could have imagined. She's very honest and communicative- plus she's hilarious. She made sure everything went smoothly, adjusting the schedule on the fly due to some bumps. Ellen will be my first choice for all future events, best believe that. read more

My husband and I were faced with the challenge of planning a SoCal Korean first birthday party (Doljanchi) for our daughter while living on the East Coast, and felt overwhelmed at the thought of pulling this off until we talked to Ellen. Let me tell you, we had so much peace of mind leading up to our event because of Ellen and the Sky Meadow Place team's expert guidance. They are so on top of things and 10 steps ahead of you, thinking of details you never thought of and having a plan to tackle them all. Not only that, but Ellen's artistic abilities to help develop our party's vision and bring it to life is incredible. So many guests came up to me saying it was the most beautiful Dol they'd ever been to and it was so easy to sing SMP's praises. From start to finish, we knew were in great hands and I'm so grateful for the way they enabled us to be fully present at the event without a care.

Ellen and her team were super responsive, timely and kept me on track by giving me a to-do list after our meetings/calls. Everything turned out beautiful and better than I imagined.

Ellen and her team planned two dohls (first birthday) for our kids and they are just amazing. Ellen is so experienced and knows exactly how to translate what you want into the actual event design.

Ellen is so talented and so creative! We used her to plan all 3 of our kids' first birthdays (Korean dohl) and I don't know what we would do without her. She truly brings your vision to life. If you get a chance to work with her you will not be disappointed! Make sure to book way in advance as she does get booked up! We love you, Ellen! Thank you for always making everything so beautiful and exactly how I pictured it to look like! read more

Ellen is literally the wedding fairy godmother! In our initial call with her we gave her some vague idea of what we liked and she completely delivered and exceeded our expectations! Before the wedding, I would be worried about this or that but after every call with her I remember feeling so good and that we were in the best hands. For every idea we had, she had a vendor ready. We had a a pretty tight day of schedule with our first look being down the aisle and having both traditional Korean and Chinese ceremonies, but she was able to coordinate with all of the vendors and our wedding party so everyone always knew what was going on. Having Ellen coordinate made us truly be able to be present and enjoy our wedding day. I am so grateful for all of the hard work she and her team put in! I highly highly recommend! Please use her!! read more

Ellen planned my daughter's first birthday, and she was wonderful to work with! I found her on Instagram and I really liked her aesthetic. Our theme was "coastal grandma meets Korean dohl" and she completely delivered. We didn't have a lot of time to plan (she turned it around in 2 months) but the party came together beautifully. Ellen has a ton of inventory that you can use (doljabi objects, decor, etc) which was a huge bonus. I literally just showed up to the party and everything was perfect. read more

So happy with the work this company did for our daughter's first birthday. Great decor and just a great vibe overall by the event host. Can't recommend this company enough! read more

Pictures say a thousand words, but they still lack the emotions of comfort and confidence I had going into the event and coming out through the leadership of Ellen. We were overwhelmed to say the least of having to come out of the holidays to execute a Dohl for 80 people within a month. We had no resources and bandwidth to curate and design this event. Even moreso living in the Santa Clarita area, we were helpless when it came to having connections that would do an event in our area. We got Ellen as a reference from a friend who we attended their child's Dohl. Everything was enjoyable and pretty elaborate. The theme and style matched our look and feel, contemporary yet honoring of tradition. Throughout the planning, Ellen communicated clearly the step by step process from beginning to end, created a timeline for us to follow, and as well as held us accountable to our homework. In addition whatever we needed, she would ask how we wanted it, and if it came to decor and presentation, most of it she had (and if it was it, WAS INCLUDED IN HER PRICE). We saved hundreds of dollars because she had all the things we needed. For example, we needed table covers, and the ones she had worked for us and so it was included. She also MC'd the event, provided photo frames for us to borrow, all the traditional items for decor and the dohl jabi. Her high competency and execution provided great results that my family and friends couldn't stop praising about after the event. Our guests were a mixture of Korean and non Korean ethnicity, and they all felt included and enjoyed the event. Again, words can express our delight and joy with the process, the event and memories after. Thank it Ellen! read more

Ellen is so soothing and her event planning skills make the event something to really look forward to~ Even with short notice, she is able to wave her magic wand and beautify any event.

She has a wealth of knowledge and experience to draw upon and can create a detailed theme from color palettes and small suggestions.

I'm in love with the overall result and every little detail. The way Ellen encorporated my colors (plum, champagne, and neutrals) and surpassed what I had envisioned or ever hoped for. I will post better pictures as soon as I get them from my photographer. read more

Words cant even express how THANKFUL we are to Ellen. We had a wedding party of 320. It ended up raining on our wedding day and the temperatures dropped like crazy so we had to re-plan our entire wedding--ceremony/reception was outdoors. But amazing Ellen came to the rescue--she replanned/rescheduled/restructured everything and made it PERFECT! Throughout the months of planning, we kept saying she was a Godsend because without her...this wedding wouldve caused us so much stress Ellen knows the ins and outs of weddings to the T. She provided the best recommendations, helped bring our budget down (SIGNIFICANTLY), had so many great recommendations and awesome connections that did not disappoint. She has an amazing eye for everything and i completely trusted her with design--bc anyone who has looked at her instagram will know, let her creative juices roll and you will not be disappointed. Our wedding was magical and i cannot thank her enough for all her help! read more

After deciding I had too much on my plate with work and the kids, I decided to hire an event planner for my daughter's dohl. I kept seeing Ellen's name come up on a FB mommy group so contacted her. *Enter the amazingness that is Ellen Choe* Hiring Ellen to plan and execute my daughter's dohl was the. Best. Decision. Ever. She has great ideas, tons of enthusiasm, an eye for creative detail, the list goes on and on. Ellen is also a complete professional and navigated speaking Korean and English (my family is Korean and my husband's family is not) with such ease. She MC'ed our dohl and knew exactly when to time what event. She also put out fires that came up that I didn't know about until later. Our daughter's dohl was beaaauutiful and we kept getting so many compliments until even weeks after it'd passed. I can't take the credit though bc all I provided were some Pinterest pics I liked and Ellen ran with it to a level that I could never achieve! Just hire her! You won't regret it! read more

Ellen is AMAZING!!! If you are looking for someone to take of everything for you she is your woman. She is very organized and to the point and always on top of things. If you are looking to stay in budget she really helps you by setting up your options and costs and helping you stay within budget. She has some vendors she can recommend to you and she helps you plan things from the very beginning if you need. I just told her generally what I wanted and some colors and a couple inspirational photos I randomly chose online and bam! She created the most beautiful dohl party for my daughter. I hesitated paying for a planner but man she really is worth every penny. She takes flowers and turns them into masterpieces. We wanted a desert table and she created a heavenly table along with super cute containers for guests. Our head table was gorgeous and our sign in table was perfect. We had her take care of EVERYTHING so that we can actually enjoy the day and that's exactly what happened. If I had to plan another party I'm definitely calling her asap. Thank you Ellen for making our daughter's day so beautiful, special and enjoyable. read more

I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Ellen at an event last weekend and she was an absolute pleasure. She did a great job working with the venue staff and accommodating the needs of the client. She's so nice and works so hard during the event so that the client doesn't have to even think. An all around great choice in planning your event and for those she has to communicate with! read more
