This is an overdue post, but I really want to thank Aggie, her team, and the external vendors that…read morehelp my husband and I plan our wedding day! My wedding day wouldn't have been a success without their help! A while back, my friend told me that she used One Plus One Wedding Services (OPOWS) for her wedding in 2019. She had good things to say about them. My SIL's friend also used OPOWS, so I figured that if a few of my mutual connections have used this vendor, then I should work with them as well. Since I didn't have a wedding planner, going with a one-stop shop wedding services package was definitely a big help. It made my wedding execution seamless! I reached out to OPOWs about a year before my wedding date. Aggie is the main person who runs OPOWS. Aggie was super responsive with our conversations. She informed me about the wedding service package options. I decided to go with the Plus Package option which includes: photographer, videographer, wedding dresses (which I didn't use), Emcee, DJ (I gave the DJ our custom playlist since my husband and I wanted to pick our songs), hair and make-up artist, reception decorations, and chair covers. We scheduled to meet a few times before my wedding. Aggie was super helpful with providing recommendations and tips. I could tell that she really cares about her clients and wants to leave a good impression. Nearing my wedding date, she provided me with a run down schedule so that I could coordinate with her team and the external vendors that she partnered with. We made sure that my wedding day itinerary made sense. On the day of my wedding, I met most of my vendors in person. I was definitely stressed out because I always have this fear that something will go wrong. But to my surprise, all of my vendors did an excellent job on my wedding day. I could tell that they really enjoyed their job and tried to help me make the most out of my wedding day. Throughout the wedding and after the wedding, I received so many compliments from my guests in regards to the wedding decorations, the vendors we used, and etc. I made sure to advertise OPOWS to my guests in case they want to work with a one-stop shop vendor haha. Thank you again Aggie and team! My wedding day was very memorable and filled with happy memories! NOTE: If you're Chinese and can speak some Cantonese, this would make communicating a lot easier. Aggie, her team, and the external vendors that she works with are Chinese. There was a slight language barrier when communicating with Aggie and the external vendors since my Chinese isn't that great haha. But overall, we were able to communicate and get through the wedding planning!

One Plus One did an amazing job planning and executing our wedding! We booked the highest package…read moresince I was really interested in a package that included engagement photos and OPO had the most competitive prices. We paid extra for our photographer (Tang) and my MUA (Hera) was amazing. Hera was my main point of contact regarding any upgrades, questions, or changes to our package. While Hera was on vacation, I worked with Aggie to discuss and finalize the decorations of the venue. I picked out my potential dresses months in advance and Hera put them on hold for me as another bride was interested in one of the dresses I picked out. The MC and DJ were assigned a month before the actual wedding to discuss a song list and anything the MC needed to confirm and know in advance. Our MC was Jason and he was very lively and made the night more fun with his enthusiasm. The entire team was very patient and worked with me throughout the whole planning process as I had many questions and requests. I'm really glad I booked OPO because I didn't need to deal with additional vendors and could focus on what I really wanted for my wedding that OPO didn't cover. Everything came out amazing and I would highly highly recommend their service for anyone debating on booking a package for their wedding.

Jacoby was our planner and also day-of coordinator, and we cannot not say enough good things about her. From our first meeting to the wedding day, Jacoby was always super helpful, organized, and responsive. I also appreciate how the whole team stepped in to answer any questions we had if Jacoby was not available. We had an emergency where our original officiant backed out 1 month before the wedding, and the team at Wedgewood was able to find one for us immediately. Jovanny was our banquet captain on the wedding day, and he was also a total sweetheart! He made sure everything went smoothly until the very end and even boxed up leftovers for us to take home. I am so glad I found Wedgewood online. Redwood Canyon is a beautiful venue itself - we got so many compliments on the venue choice! There was honestly not a single hiccup I could think of in the whole process, and that's all thanks to the amazing team at Wedgewood! Keep up the great work guys and thank you for being an awesome partner on our most special day :)

They answered every question, kept us on track, and made sure we felt confident throughout the entire planning process. We genuinely appreciated how attentive and supportive they were from start to finish. The venue itself is spacious, elegant, and thoughtfully designed -- it allowed our vendors to work seamlessly and gave our guests plenty of room to enjoy every moment. Everything ran smoothly on the day-of, and we felt so cared for the entire time. Really appreciated Saneta checking in with me & my now husband to ensure we had everything we needed.

Saneta and Jessica were communicative and were always able to clarify any questions we had leading up to the wedding.

All of our meetings with her were incredibly informative, she guided us step by step on what to expect when getting married and made everything feel smooth and stress free. Saundra was always available whenever we had questions, and her communication was excellent. We truly appreciated how responsive and reliable she was. It also meant so much to us that she took care of delivering our marriage license to the city hall clerks and even provided a tracking number for added security. The ceremony she delivered was absolutely beautiful. We loved her questionnaires and the way she used them to craft something so personal and meaningful. She really took the time to get to know us as a couple, which made the ceremony feel authentic and special. On top of that, she brought such a fun, warm energy while still respecting everything we wanted for our wedding. We highly recommend Saundra to anyone looking for an officiant who is caring, organized, and truly dedicated to making your day unforgettable.

Our first intro call was extremely informative. She laid out her process and her experiences with other couples and different types of weddings she's officiated in the past. It was clear she was an experienced officiant from the well-established process she had. Her communication was very effective. Her meetings were tailored toward new couples who have zero experience with weddings and she was always responsive to any questions we had through email or text. We received many compliments about the Ceremony that she officiated. Saundra had developed 90% of the script herself and personalized it based on our preferences. Her delivery and energy was less officiant-like and more casual/home-like which was what we were hoping for. I definitely would recommend Saundra as an officiant for any wedding. Her support and preparation for our wedding left no ambiguity during the ceremony.

Working with Justina on planning our wedding was the best decision we made. We went and used her…read morefull planning service and it was SO worth the price. My husband and I had already found a venue prior to hiring Justina. After we found the venue, we were completely at a loss with where to start with the planning as it was overwhelming. But Justina removed this burden completely and she was so patient with us. One trait of Justina that we greatly appreciate is her transparency. Before we signed a contract with her, she was straightforward with us about her giving birth in the middle of the wedding planning process. Despite having to give labor in the middle of planning, Justina's continued to impress us with her clear communication on timelines and expectations. She only stepped away from about 2 weeks after labor and resumed with us; just WOW, we wanted to tell her that she should rest more. During the planing process, Justina handles all of the timelines, organization, and paperwork; which saved my husband and I so much time! Justina was especially a godsend for me, as I was working full-time and wrapping up my master's degree in the same year. We loved how she is prepared with templates for us to follow and takes notes of our every meeting. She is also extremely efficient and was conscious of our budget, and tries her best to help us stay within the budget range we specified. Justina has a lot of connections, so her recommendations were helpful and often helped us save time on researching more vendors. Furthermore, Justina is always willing to come out to meet in person when necessary, and she enjoys choosing fabrics and equipment for the wedding with you -- which we thought was so nice. One thing we also noticed is that all the vendors we worked with also had endless praises for Justina. When it came to actual wedding day, we were surprised by how smooth our wedding event ran. We were prepared to yolo things if things got out of handle, since we have heard a lot of stories from friends about how some of their weddings did not go as planned. Our wedding was a more complicated one as we crammed a lot of events during reception. As the bride, I had one outfit change, we had 7 toast speeches from family/friends, we played the shoe game, and had 3 musical performances prior to opening up the dance floor. Honestly, we did not expect to be able to go through with everything, but Justina made sure we were good on time and we were able to do everything we planned! We were so happy with our wedding and it was everything we expected. Thanks to Justina, we did not feel nearly as stressed out as we initially thought. Due to Justina's immense experience and professionalism, a daunting planning turned into a piece of cake. I would HIGHLY recommend Justina to everyone to plan their events. She is absolutely amazing and we felt so inspired by her work ethic and reliability. Once again, thank you so much for making our dream wedding come true Justina!

If you're looking for a wedding planner who's professional but easy to work with, look no further…read morethan Justina of JL Events! This review is seriously long overdue as our wedding was way back in October 2022 at Casa Real (my apologies for the delay!) Early on in our engagement, my husband and I were ambivalent on the idea of hiring a wedding planner. We had already chosen several of our main vendors and thought we could save money and handle planning our wedding on our own but we were mistaken.  We were soon overwhelmed with all the details and started to have decision-making fatigue so we decided to look for a wedding planner. After quite a bit of research we chose Justina/JL Events and we are so grateful we did! Her services were definitely worth the investment. We highly recommend Justina for wedding planning and coordination. She is professional but personable, trustworthy, and very easy to work with. She had great communication from the start and all throughout the preparation for our big day; her responsiveness was amazing. During our first meeting, Justina quickly identified our needs and vision and created a detailed timeline for our wedding planning. She helped us narrow down design choices and accompanied us to meetings with vendors. We were impressed by her organization and proactive approach! Having Justina as our planner helped alleviate much of the stress that comes with planning a large wedding (we had about 260 guests.) There were several instances in which we were frustrated dealing with unresponsive vendors but Justina was great at facilitating communication and even helped us find better companies to work with. Justina helped us stay on track during rehearsal day and was an expert problem-solver. She coordinated with our vendors and the staff at Casa Real with ease and was patient with us and our large wedding entourage. On the day of our wedding, Justina and her assistant Dana took such great care of us and we were able to enjoy our wedding celebration! Justina truly demonstrated her expertise with event coordination. We really appreciated her taking so many behind-the-scenes photos and videos, too! She also created our beautiful wedding cake topper and welcome sign. Thank you Justina for helping us have the wedding of our dreams! We are forever incredibly grateful for you!

We are generally shy and awkward in front of the camera but Adam put us both at ease during our engagement shoot. He was very reassuring too when my wife thought it wasn't going as well as she had hoped. During our wedding, Adam beautifully captured all our special moments with the people we love. We like his style and the different poses he had us try. We have enjoyed viewing our photo gallery so far. The only thing that could've been better was his promptness in communication (resulting in this 4-star review). Sometimes we didn't hear back from him in a timely fashion about basic but important information, and could go several days without a reply. A response often times would only come after a repeat message to him. Although, we understand things happen, being more timely with phone calls/appts certainly would've earned a 5-star experience! It may help future potential clients to know up front what sort of communication or timeframe to expect. Aside from this, we enjoyed working with Adam and are grateful for his skill and expertise to capture our special day. Thank you, Adam!

He makes everyone feel good about themselves and helped direct everyone into the best pose!

A lot of tears were shed the weekend before when I realized the entire event would be moved indoors. I was a wreck. But ARIANA was my event coordinator and she made me feel so reassured it would be beautiful and she was right. Our planning had gone well the whole year leading up to our wedding week and then I thought it was all falling apart. But she was amazing. She pulled it together and it was stunning!! The Monday before the wedding, she calmed me down and walked me through how it would all be setup inside the cocktail reception area. Our guests said it was better than if it had been outside!! It was cozy, by the fireplace while it was raining outside. Had so many compliments on the ceremony. We attended one of the bridal events to try some food and nothing blew us away then but the food on the wedding day was amazing. Again, so so many compliments from our guests on how good the food stations were. It was seriously really good! My family friends and I joked that all the craziness was the "storm before the calm". Once I had to be in place, ceremony was starting etc..it was the calm. Everything was perfection. Dj Chris was amazing too. I felt so special and everyone there really makes you feel like you are all VIP. Ariana was amazing at the rehearsal too! It's like corralling cats! Everyone is everywhere and talking and walking off. She got to the important stuff and was so patient. And kind. She was also so good and keeping track of all the details (I had a LOT OF DETAILS). Many vendors I hired, timelines, decor and she had it all down. Very capable. And also, what's really nice is although she was my main coordinator she's not there every day (obviously!) but anytime I called whoever answered the phone was able to make notes and she would always follow up too. Can't say enough about the experience!! Only that I want to do it again!!!! lol
