There aren't enough words to describe the experience and the beautiful wedding that Star Hansen and her team put together for my daughter and her husband! Star was amazing, having to reschedule their wedding THREE times, due to Covid (coordinating all vendors and so much more). Her eye for color, fabrics, flowers, and bringing to life the vision of the bride and groom is a true gift! She is meticulous with details and she was so patient and kind to our family! When their 'big day' finally arrived, everything was perfect. She and her team took care of every little detail, allowing the bride, groom and families to truly enjoy such a magical day. Thank you Star!! read more

See all

If you want a magical event you have to work with Star Hansen. She's organized, diligent and did a superb job. We will definitely refer her to friends and family. She took the worry out by coordinating everything and providing timelines on all the planning. As the bride of the event- this day would normally be stressful day but Star Hansen Events takes care of so much. I was floating on my wedding day. I interviewed many wedding coordinators and after speaking to her, I just knew she was the one. If you don't want to stress out on your special day then you'll love using Star Hansen Events. Thank you again Star for a magical experience. read more

Perfection. To put it simply, Kelly Jones created my dream wedding. I will forever be thankful to Kelly and her team in making the most magical day of my life a reality. Kelly came highly recommended after my previous planner fell through and I couldn't have been luckier. I first met Kelly at a coffee shop and we spent over 2 hours discussing details, the aesthetic, and what I envisioned for my big day. Not only did she carefully take notes, but she genuinely listened and provided helpful, creative ideas. I was getting married in Malibu, but 5 months before the wedding, I moved to Northern California and although planning a wedding from afar was not ideal, Kelly seamlessly organized all of my vendors, guided all arrangements, and was always available for a late night phone call or text. One point to highlight is that not only is Kelly incredibly organized, but she also takes immense pride in her work and it shows. Kelly went above and beyond to help create a beautiful welcome sign, escort cards, table numbers, reserved seat cards, customized bar signs and the most perfect personalized napkins. Kelly spent hours on the phone and in person with me so that we could perfect floral arrangments, rentals, and she even made a vision board so that all of our vendors would be able to help create my vision. An additional point is that throughout the whole process, Kelly was mindful of my budget. She always offered suggestions that were in my price range and with her own creative hand was able to offer alternatives. On the actual wedding day, Kelly was a breath of fresh air (as all of us brides need) and not only was everything perfectly arranged, but every moment was coordinated seamlessly. Kelly provided thoughtful, calming direction and even stayed until the very end to help make sure we had all of our prized possessions (including my bouquet)! I could not recommend Kelly or Star Hansen Events more wholeheartedly. Thank you for making my dream wedding come true! read more

Star Hansen is an absolutely phenomenal event planner. She went above and beyond to give my husband and I our dream wedding on the 4th of September at Greystone mansion and gardens. Our wedding was even better than I could have ever possibly imagined it and I attribute this to her. She has a tremendous knowledge base and her expertise was very valuable. I went into wedding planning not knowing if I needed a full service event planner but this was by far the best money I spent on our big day. Star brought a lot to the table because of her experience so she knew how to properly execute the ideas and I am absolutely positive I would have side stepped without her. She deeply cares to make your day what you want it to be so she listens to you and gets to know you and your vision and then enables you through her expertise and vast network of professional vendors to bring your vision to life. Star is very responsive via email and phone. You will have no trouble getting a hold of Star. She was always available to schedule a call within a day when I needed to hop on the phone with her. She was extremely respectful of our budget and enabled us to stay within it. It's very difficult to do this on your own because there are a lot of numbers you do not think about or have any basis to know what kind of figure it will be when you first go into wedding planning. She guided us to make sure we stayed well within our budget which was so awesome. I was completely relaxed and was able to enjoy my own wedding because I knew Star was on top of everything. She is incredibly organized and as you get to know her through the planning process you will understand her to be more than competent and very well organized, she literally thinks of everything, so you will be able to relax and enjoy your wedding which is really the invaluable aspect of hiring Star. I cannot say enough great things about Star or recommend her enough because she really is a spectacular event planner. I will be referring her to anybody and everybody planning an event from now on. All I can say is you will not regret hiring Star Hansen. read more

Star is an absolutely amazing person and wedding planner. My wife and I were married in Malibu/Westlake Village area in September and working with Star was the best decision we could have made. Our venue required a lot of vendors with a lot of moving pieces and Star managed them like an orchestra conductor. I imagine many wedding planners are great at managing the big details, however what I feel really separates Star from others is her ability to simultaneously manage the small details and things I would have never thought of. She asks all the right questions to help put together the perfect day, listening to and integrating all of the little details that matter to you and your families. Throughout the actual day she went above and beyond to make sure my wife and I were having the most special time possible. Just a few examples - she made sure my wife and I got to try all the appetizers during the cocktail hour, she had our favorite drinks ready for us immediately after the service, she pulled us aside at the end of the cocktail hour to make sure my wife and I had a special moment alone to just breath and take it all in. Just little things like that throughout the entire day that allowed us to enjoy and live in the moment. Through every step of the process her planning and actions made it clear that she really cared about us and making sure we had the most special day possible. 10/10 if we had to do it all again I wouldn't hesitate to work with Star. Star, we have nothing but gratitude for you and the planning/orchestrating you did for us. You're the best! read more

Simply said, Star is an AMAZING wedding planner! I don't know what I would have done without Star to plan our destination wedding in Malibu. Star's work, style, designs are gorgeous and impressive just looking at her website; but I was really intrigued to work with her because she was great at understanding and articulating the images that I wanted and randomly expressed, asked great question (that a bride-to-be may not have thought about) that helped me to think through what I needed to consider in the planning stages while also being very detailed-oriented and having great time management skills. She helped me to be well-prepared before the wedding, not having to deal with unnecessary stress right before the wedding which we were truly grateful for. She was also very caring, thoughtful and flexible in accommodating our last minute needs! A week prior to our wedding, we ran into a situation that would not allow us to attend our own wedding. Although we had carefully planned the wedding for 10 months, Star was able to lead all the vendors to re-plan every detail of our wedding to create a special virtual ceremony where we could be part of the wedding from overseas. She came up with the most creative ideas we thought we may not be able to pull off 2 days prior to our wedding and made it all come true!! She went above and beyond to make it most special and memorable for us which we can't be more grateful for!! https://www.facebook.com/ZohreenAdamjee/videos/236168743763270/ She is not just a wedding planner; but truly an individual who cares from her heart, for all of the couples she works with, to make each wedding unique and most special for the couple. read more

It is simple, our wedding day would not have been anything close to the dream that it was without Star Hansen and Kelly Patrice Jones. These women are a force to be reckoned with when it comes to wedding planning and aesthetic. And on top of that, they are sweetest, most thoughtful, and fun people we have had the pleasure to work with. They are literally always smiling. Even on the phone. I don't know how they do it, they seriously love their jobs and that comes through. From the very beginning of the wedding planning process all I could tell Star was that I had my dream team of wedding vendors and she and Kelly were the MVPs. They guided us every step of the way and were INCREDIBLY patient with me and gracious with all of their time and attention to detail. I always felt that we were their sole focus. Star coached us through vendor selection and ensured that we had the best of the best when it came to vendors. It should also be noted that she suggested we work with Kelly on calligraphy and paper goods - one of the best decisions. Kelly is a true talent with a rare ability to take jumbled ideas and visions and turn them into a reality. Star was incredibly proactive and had regular communication with us, even during the "down time" of planning. She is extraordinarily calming and did so much behind the scenes to make the entire process seamless and carefree. I am a stressed person by nature (I blame my Italian roots) and I can honestly say that I was not stressed throughout this process. There were no meltdowns, there was nothing that was not delivered or didn't come to fruition and this is all thanks to Star. She ensured that we had the most magical and special day. Thanks to Star and Kelly our wedding was absolute perfection and something we will cherish forever. Also, if Star suggests you do a silent disco - do it. Hands down the most fun thing we have participated in at any wedding and EVERYONE danced their faces off. THANK YOU and all our love, Bianca & Drew Cielo Farms June 23, 2018 read more

Flawless, Fabulous and Very Personal Wedding! Star helped us plan and was the lead conductor of my son's absolutely amazing wedding. I am a wedding novice, my son and fiancee live in the bay area and her family lives in Turkey. Through Star's leadership, planning, guidance and wedding day management we had the wedding of everyone's dreams. We could not have done this without her. Star's reviews are all truthful. She was on top of all the details and stayed calm through any of the chaos (or mother of the groom panics) leading up to the wedding day. She walked me through all the items that I needed to consider and ensured that all the personal details (down to singing happy birthday to my sister) were part of the celebration. I completely left the wedding day up to Star and her team. My role on the wedding day was to be a radiant mother of the groom. I spent the day with the bride and her bridesmaids and then greeted and hosted the guests. EVERYTHING else was taken care by Star. All vendors were in place and the wedding celebration happened exactly as we wanted. Everyone had a great time and the only complaint was that the evening had to end. Weddings are a celebration that should be very personal to you and totally enjoyed without stress or worry. With Star and her team you get the celebration of your dreams. read more

I am the Mother of the Bride and my daughter chose Star. What a professional and sweet person she is. She handles every detail, large or small and makes the planning seem effortless. She is always there at the end of the phone, text or email. Star has great ideas and if she recommends a company, person or vendor, you know they are top notch! I have already recommended her as everyone at the wedding was asking who was our planner. If I looked up, she was there, and I had the time of my life dancing away at my daughter's wedding without a care as I knew Star was there. Thank you Star and your team for a truly memorable event. We could not have done it without you. read more

We were so excited to hire Star for our daughter's wedding. She was recommended by dear friend and soon to be family member. Then Covid hit, two cancellations later, and the only constant in our world was our wonderful Star with her positive outlook and supportive being. She has been our warrior and shining star throughout it all. We feel so blessed to have her in our lives. We would highly recommend her to all!!! XO, Pamela R. read more

Arthur and I hired Star because we were confident she could plan our dream wedding. Star has a caring personality, beautiful style, and great attention to detail. Star kept us on track with planning our wedding by reminding us about payments and scheduling wedding planning appointments. Star made the wedding planning process very stress free with how organized she is. We had every single detail planned for our special day and then the pandemic happened. We were completely devastated that our dream wedding wouldn't be able to happen due to the stay at home order in place over our wedding date. It was so hard to come to terms with a year and a half of planning the perfect day that it wasn't going to happen on our date and with all the people we love. We decided to still get married on our original date and plan a micro wedding with our immediate family in my parent's backyard. We also decided to have a large reception next year with all our family and friends. Star was very supportive and caring about replanning our wedding. Star quickly jumped on notifying all our vendors and venue about our decision and replanning. I felt so thankful to have Star during this time to do the hard work in replanning. She made a very difficult situation much easier. Our micro wedding was the most magical and amazing day of our lives. It was nothing that we originally planned for before the pandemic but it couldn't have been more perfect. Star had many creative and unique ideas for our microwedding to make it so special. Star worked to create a new vision for our backyard wedding and the outcome was absolutely stunning. The day of the wedding was very relaxing. When Star arrived she had everything under control and organized. Star meticulously set up all the details of the wedding beautifully not forgetting a thing. Star had safety at the forefront of planning. She socially distanced tables and made sure every vendor wear masks. Star kept the night on track and made sure we got to all the important parts of the wedding. We had an idea of how the wedding would be and look but we were blown away how incredible the day was. Thank you so much, Star for planning the best day of our lives! We cannot wait to have Star plan our big reception next year! read more

Star Hansen Events - Wedding Planning Near Me

Where do I begin? Star is the fairy godmother of wedding planning. She made all of our wedding day dreams come true, and then some. I can't even begin to describe how amazing and thoughtful she is. From our first meeting it was clear that she understood my vision and taste before I even knew exactly what I wanted. She is the most organized person I have ever met, and I always felt that she had our best interests at heart. I had some unusual details and requests, and she found a way to make it all happen. Her suggestions were always helpful, and her contacts in this industry proved to be invaluable. She came to every major vendor appointment and answered all of my endless questions. When it came time for the big day, everything was seamless. Star and her assistants were very hands on and a huge support in every way. They went above and beyond (like Star Trek beyond). It's been nearly two weeks since our wedding and everyone is still raving about how wonderful it was. Star is basically the Michael Jordan of special events. She could produce the Oscars (she's that good). She is the GOAT, and the second best decision I made besides saying yes to the groom. I am forever grateful to her and her team and look forward to working with her again. Baby shower, 40th birthday! Lastly, when the planning is over, and the wedding has come and gone, you'll feel like you made a friend. read more

As Father-of-the-Bride and all the concerns and considerations that go along with the responsibilities of your only daughter's wedding I must tell everyone that Star Hansen truly is a STAR in our life. Her patience, attention to detail, awareness of the importance of timing, and the sensitivity during a potentially over stressful time, Star Hansen kept her cool from day one till the very final minutes of the best wedding of our lives. 200 extremely happy and overjoyed guests were approaching us during and after the wedding outpouring their compliments of the details and everything about this production. Star was organized, responsive to our every question, and extremely pleasant. This lady has class, beauty and professionalism in her DNA. Thank You Star for a Magical Event! Tom Nikosey / Bell Canyon, California read more

We don't even know where to begin! My mother beat me to the punch with her review. First Star is the absolute sweetest! I had talked to a few wedding planners when starting out as soon as we talked to Star on the phone we felt a sigh of relief, she was professional, honest, sweet, and ready to take on the role. It is so important to vibe with someone who will be working along side of you for the biggest day of your life. Her recommendations of vendors were spot on, they were all so lovely to work with! Our wedding day was a DREAM! From start to finish, the entire day was completely seamless from our perspective. Star and her team seemed to always be available at the perfect time for easy questions or to calm our nerves. Every detail on the day was planned with such perfection that we were able to focus on enjoying our day and the logistics were all taken care of by her team. From our perspective, and our guests, the entire event was orchestrated and executed with flawless precision. Star and her team (also super sweet) were on the ball every moment of the day. We would do the day all over again and we would recommend Star and her team over and over. We truly had the best time with her, the day/night was absolutely beautiful and was a true fairytale wedding. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts. xoxo Kenna & Mike 9.1.18 @ Cielo Farms read more

Star is beyond amazing! My husband and I agree that hiring her was the single best decision we made during the planning process. I could not have planned the wedding we had without her, no doubt in my mind. When I would tell my friends who recently got married how much she was helping us and keeping us on track, they were blown away and couldn't the amount of service she was providing us compared to their own coordinators! I had no idea where to start during any part of the planning process, and Star walked me through every step and kept me on track. Many people told me they couldn't believe how low my stress level was the months before the wedding and I told every single one that it was all due to how Star had kept me ahead of schedule and organized. Every suggestion she had was SO right. I trust her judgment and advice without question, she knows exactly what she is doing! The second anyone I know gets engaged, I immediately start telling them about Star and how if they get married in the area she should be their first call! Not only is she completely professional and organized, but she is sweet as can be. She was so attentive and gave us so much support and advice that I literally felt bad for taking up so much of her time! Something I definitely never thought I would feel with a wedding vendor, but it is clear it is because she is SO much more than that. DO NOT HESITATE to hire Star, she would be my first choice every time!! read more

Finding the right wedding planner was an extremely important step for us. We had no idea where to begin though, because we didn't know anyone in the wedding industry in California, as we are from Chicago. While visiting a local business in our town, we got to talking to the owner and informed her that we would be planning a destination wedding in Malibu. She mentioned that her niece happened to be a wedding planner in California and gave us Star's information. Prior to calling Star, we randomly googled a few vendors in California and spoke to a handful of them in order to feel like we were doing some wedding research. When we asked about wedding planners (and asked about Star specifically) each and every vendor said that Star was the best of the best. We called Star shortly after.. and from the moment we spoke to her over the phone, we knew she was the one. Our wedding planning process was filled with some unexpected twists and turns...including (but not limited to) our wedding venue burning in the fires earlier this year. Star eased our minds and helped us come up with alternate plans. She remained calm throughout the process and promised that our wedding day would be beautiful no matter what... and that she would make it her goal to ensure her promise held true. The day before our wedding- Star called and informed us that we had some big decisions to make, as the forecast predicted that it would be rainy and cold (48 to 50 degrees when the sun set) on the day of our wedding...despite it being Memorial Day weekend, which is typically a sunny, warm and perfect weekend in California. Star calmly presented the options and walked us through each step- all while promising to keep her promise that no matter what, she would make our wedding beautiful and special. We trusted Star's recommendation and put up the clear tent.. which required switching the location of the ceremony and reception on the property, re-doing seating charts up until the very last minute, switching up decor and countless other changes to our original plan. I thought there was no way we would be able to pull everything off, but everything ran smoothly and seamlessly due to Star. She gave her ALL and worked endlessly to make it perfect for us. I am SO glad we trusted Star's suggestions/recommendations, as she was right about everything! I can't say enough about Star's organizational skills and her ability to manage so many tasks at once. She is so detail-oriented! She coached us through so many decisions and made us feel taken care of throughout the entire process. I fel like we were able to connect on a more personal level throughout the process as well. I believe that Star's connections within the wedding planning world and her strong relationships with vendors speak to her professionalism and her likeablity. She is so on top of things... she really does have super-human organizational skills! In addition, Star was always available for phone-calls and email exchanges. I can tell that Star gives 110% in everything she does. Our wedding turned out to be ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. It didn't end up raining, but the tent turned out to be even more beautiful than our original plan, It did end up getting chilly at night, but thanks to Star...we were all set with heaters! Our wedding day was better than anything I could have ever imagined or planned on my own. Thank you, Star, for being our wedding planner and our friend. I really hope we stay in touch over the years. I will be forever grateful to you and your team...and for all you did to make our wedding memorable and magical! All of our family and friends keep telling us that it was the best wedding they have ever been to... and I couldn't agree more.. although I may be biased :) xo! read more

I truly don't even know where to begin to describe the appreciation I have for Star and how grateful I feel that we were able to have her as our wedding coordinator! I really feel like I could write a novel describing how she and her team are above and beyond in every aspect of wedding planning. People would ask me often if I felt stressed about the wedding and planning process, and, even in the midst of planning during COVID, I could honestly say that I felt so stress-free because of Star and her care and support. She somehow manages to be so incredibly kindhearted, warm, and genuine, while also being amazingly attentive to detail, on top of it, and organized. I don't know how she does it all, but she has such a gift for what she does and I can't imagine working with anyone else! From my very first phone conversation with Star to our actual wedding date, and even now after, she has been absolutely wonderful in every way. I don't even know how many times my family and I would say to one another that we felt like we won the lottery with Star! From the very beginning, it was so easy and clear to see how caring and thoughtful Star is and how much it means to her to bring the dreams of your wedding day to life. She has a gift of being able to take your ideas, personality, style, etc. and turn them all into one cohesive vision for your wedding day. Not only does she have an eye for aesthetic and design (everything she touches is simply beautiful!), but she is also so knowledgeable about the logistics of wedding planning and all of the tiny decisions and details that need to be sorted out, especially the ones that could potentially feel stressful! One of the things I admire most about her is how she was always able to make us feel included and heard in every little decision, but also would help steer us when we felt lost about certain details! She has the best insight and advice and will NEVER steer you wrong! Star is simply amazing, and, the more we went along in the wedding planning process, it was also so easy to see how respected and adored she is in the wedding industry. Everyone who knows her loves her and loves working with her, and it's amazing to have someone like that as a part of your wedding day! Not only was she wonderful, but she also helped us put together a whole team of vendors that we absolutely loved. It was a dream team! We couldn't more highly recommend Star! She is the best in every way. I honestly wish I could get married all over again just to work with her again! I already miss having the excuse of being in touch with her regularly and will forever be grateful to have had her as our wedding coordinator and now friend. We love you, Star!! read more

To put into a words or a review to say how wonderful and awesome Star is at coordinating our wedding is impossible so I will try my best. Our wedding wouldn't be a wedding if it wasn't for Star. Her talent and kindness is so great. From beginning to end she was nothing but on it. Star always responded to our emails quickly, spoke to all our vendors and venue in time and asked questions and got answers to items that we never even thought about asking. I wouldn't describe myself as an artistic person, but I did have a vision for my wedding that was hard for me to describe but I just told her a couple things and items I thought about and Star put together this beautiful vision board that was what both my husband and I taste! Star saw my wedding exactly how my we envisioned it and she truly brought it to life. She had all these cute ideas that really made our day special, whether it was specialty linens to the wedding guest book and decor and it all worked together seemlessly. I've always heard about weddings being very stressful, but when it came to planning ours and hiring all our vendors, it was so easy and it's all due to Star. The vendors that she associates with and connects you with are as on point as her, which allows your wedding day to go flawlessly. I never worried anything would go wrong or not be the way we planned because my husband and I were able to have complete trust and ease with Star. I'm really glad we listened to her ideas and input and went with her vendors because Star really is brilliant at what she does. I don't think there was a single thing I would've changed. Star checks off all the boxes when you are searching for a coordinator. Not only is she artistic, but she is extremely professional, calm, and patient. You will not go wrong hiring Star!!! Star if you are reading this, Emil and I love you and are so glad we have made a lifelong friend in this process! You are so dear to us and we wish you nothing but happiness and success!!! read more

Star was truly the bright spot of our COVID wedding planning journey. She has an incredible vision that she brings to life seamlessly. Her positive attitude, attention to detail, and relationships with her vendors (or as she says friendors) truly make her stand out. She was great at helping us stick to a budget, decide where to splurge and where to save, and always was there to take a call or answer a late night email with any idea or concern. We are so grateful to her and will continue to recommend her to our friends and family. read more

STAR! I am trying so hard to avoid doing the obvious with her name - but she is a shining star. She is knowledgable, efficient, hard working, organized (sooo important) and professional. Also never pushy, always open to whatever makes you feel comfortable even if its not conventional. She has the most fantastic, calm demeanor which, as an anxious person really helped soothe my wedding nerves day of and throughout the entire wedding process. LISTEN TO STAR. Everything that she suggested and did for my wedding made it perfect, and i am still having people tell me it was THE BEST WEDDING EVER! Star knows what she's doing and how to get it done without a fuss. The only thing that went wrong at my wedding was I didn't want a sign to the photobooth like she suggested and guess what SHE WAS RIGHT I SHOULD HAVE HAD A SIGN!!!!!!!! Lastly, aside from the fact that she's GOOD ENERGY, she's beautiful (inside) but also OUT and it was lovely having her sparkling face at my wedding. She is also discreet which I appreciated, I have certainly been to weddings where the planner looks like an angry waiter storming around on a walkie talkie. Not Star. Everything was perfect. THANK YOU. xo read more

I don't know where to begin! Star is by far the sweetest, most professional and detail-oriented person I've ever worked with. I'm a bit of a procrastinator- and I told her I wasn't the best planner- she stepped in and was a fountain of knowledge when it came to everything wedding! She walked me through every tiny detail...I could not have felt more comfortable. She works with you through everything and makes sure you get what you're dreaming of. She is so easy to talk to and really makes sure your vision becomes a reality. If you want someone who truly loves what she does, loves her clients, and is the best at her craft, go with Star! You will not be disappointed. I didn't have to worry about a thing the day of my wedding...everything was handled and went extremely well! Many of our wedding guests said our wedding was the most organized and beautiful wedding they've ever attended. That makes me so happy and it couldn't have been done without her! Star- Thank you so much again for just being YOU! read more

I hired Kelly for my 50th birthday celebration. It was the best decision ever! As a result, I was able to be fully present and truly enjoy my celebration. She took exceptional care of my guests. Everyone kept remarking on how attentive she was. She is so intuitive, pleasant and takes direction well. I through some last minute things on her to do list and she arose to the occasion each time. My birthday experience was heightened because I hired Kelly. read more

Star Hansen is absolutely AMAZING!!! I don't even know where to begin in expressing the amount of LOVE and GRATITUDE I have for Star... My experience with Star Hansen Events was nothing short of amazing. From the very first meeting, up until the "big day" (and even after it), the amount of support, guidance, and dedication I felt from Star was above and beyond anything I ever anticipated. My husband and I got married Labor Day Weekend 2017 (almost 2 weeks ago) and we're still receiving calls and emails from guests raving that it was the BEST wedding they've ever been to! There is absolutely no way it would have been possible without Star. Period. From the very beginning, it was abundantly clear to me the amount of passion she has for what she does, she absolutely loves it! You'll know what I mean when you hire her - because you should!! It's not just a job to her, she truly takes so much pride in dedicating her EVERYTHING to you as a couple AND to making your dream wedding everything you could have ever imagined. She just goes the extra mile and it's those little things that make you realize how much she cares about her clints. She is so warm, genuine and thoughtful and will be your rock through it all. Star is professional, organized, SUPER detail-oriented and fabulous at responding to emails quickly and thoroughly! She is on top of EVERYTHING - nothing slips past this one I tell ya ;) Trust me, that is exactly what you need during this crazy (sometimes stressful) planning process. There are SO MANY little details and intricacies that it can easily become overwhelming. Having someone as knowledgeable as Star makes the process much more seamless. I loved being able to bounce ideas off of her and listening to her feedback and suggestions, she always offered great advice! The amount of thought and consideration she brings to the planning process is just astounding. I highly recommend Star Hansen Events to anyone who is looking for a FUN and memorable experience. I not only had an unforgettable wedding day, but I also made a friend in all of this. I am forever grateful :) read more

No pun intended but Star is a superstar in every sense of the word and without her, we would have been lost. Friends always told me: "things absolutely will go wrong on your wedding but just dont get caught up in it, it wont matter in the end" Shockingly, there were absolutely no issues whatsoever. Star is beyond thorough and was prepared for anything that was thrown at her, with a plan and a backup plan for any hypothetical problem. I strongly recommend using star for any wedding / event. read more

Star wAs the perfect planner for our special day! She was on top of every detail and kept the flow of the day flawless. The months leading up to the wedding she helped us to have every detail covered and organized. We couldn't have done it without her! read more

Wedding Perfection Star, Kelly and the entire Star Hansen Event's team were truly amazing in planning and implementing my daughter's wedding. It was wedding day perfection. My daughter lives on the east coast and wanted her wedding to be in Southern California, where she grew up. A Malibu wedding could have been a stressful adventure, especially for the novice mother of the bride, me, if not for the Star and her team. Star and Kelly were delightful to work with and were always available to answer our questions and concerns. I was continually amazed at their prompt responses to our emails, texts or phone calls. Star is incredibly organized. She was able to coordinate meetings with vendors when my daughter was in town and kept us on schedule with all the small details that could have fall by the wayside. Her valuable experience and artistry brilliantly guided us through many decisions. My daughter's wedding day was stress-free and an absolutely gorgeous, joyous event where we were all able to enjoy every beautiful moment. We highly recommend Star Hansen Events!!! read more

It's very hard to put into words how grateful we were to have Star as our daughter's wedding planner. From the very first meeting, Star and our daughter had an unbelievable connection, and from then on Star took care of every detail. From her awesome ideas, amazing organization, and recommendations for Vendors, she made the whole wedding planning process seamless. And as the mother of the bride, living out of state from our daughter, this was a huge relief, and blessing, to know that everything was being taken care of, and that our daughter was able to enjoy the entire process. Star was always on top of everything, thought of every small detail, and was always available when we had questions or needed direction. She told me once that she wanted us to feel like guests at our own wedding, and she absolutely did! I was truly able to relax and enjoy the entire weekend, and this was because of Star. She is the kindest, calmest, and most efficient choice we could have made, and her team follows her lead! I would highly recommend Star and her team for any significant event! Our daughter had a vision and Star created the most beautiful wedding we could have ever Imagined! We can never thank you enough! read more

Kelly Jones from Star Hansen's team was a wonderful month-of coordinator for us recently. She was sweet, creative, thoughtful, helpful and organized. She and Star helped us navigate a multi-vendor wedding very smoothly, especially when we felt our venue was giving us one obstacle after another. Very grateful to Kelly and highly recommended for any and all occasions! read more

Star Hansen and her Associate Kelly Jones are absolutely AMAZING!! Let me begin by saying that my father, who never fully understood why a wedding needed coordinators and why we would spend money on it, has not stopped raving that hiring Star's team was the best decision we made for the entire wedding. Star and her team did everything from reaching out to all our vendors, confirming all of our contracts, creating wedding timelines, greeting and escorting guests, setting up the entire wedding space and cleaning it all up at the end. Nobody had to lift a finger, Star, Kelly and their team did it ALL! We would have paid ten-fold for them! Star and Kelly are not just coordinators but they are incredibly friendly and personable as well and truly make you feel as if you are in the presence of more friends. We hired Star's team as our month of coordinators, but they were far more present than just the month of. We received cards and check ins many times along the way, and Kelly even surprised us with champagne at our wedding rehearsal. Kelly also began calming my concerns and questions months before the wedding!! Star, Kelly and their team made all of our wedding dreams come true! I felt completely confident and comfortable putting all of my wedding ideas and plans into their hands! I couldn't possibly be any happier with our wedding. We are still getting comments and compliments about our wedding to this day! It is without a doubt that hiring Star Hansen Events to coordinate our wedding was one of the best decisions we made!! :) read more

I don't think I could ever put into words how incredible Star was in helping us plan and execute our dream wedding. We were planning a wedding across the country and she was able to make the process fun, easy, and most importantly, stress-free! As someone who was never able to put into words how I wanted my wedding to look, she was able to extract random thoughts I had and create our dream day. From the very beginning, she was actively involved in helping us pick our wedding vendors, giving us her opinion when needed, but never trying to convince us of something one way or another. She respected the overall budget we had in mind and never tried to sway us away from that. To really show how dedicated Star is to her brides and grooms, she welcomed a beautiful baby boy 3 weeks before our wedding, and was STILL actively involved in making sure all the final pieces were in place prior to our big day. It was above and beyond and so appreciated! Her team (SHE Babes) is also phenomenal at what they do. They made sure the entire wedding from beginning to end went perfectly! I cannot rave enough about my entire experience with Star and her team! You CANNOT go wrong with having her plan your big day! Working with her for 14 months leading up to the big day was the best decision I ever made (besides marrying my husband:) ). read more

Star is the absolute best. Not only was she the most amazing planner, but she is now a great friend. She kept me on track and made the planning process easy and stress- free. Star helped me plan a wedding that was unique and true to my husband and I. Our wedding day exceeded our expectations, and star and her team went above and beyond to make it perfect. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!!! read more

Star Hansen is a blessing! We hired Star to help with our wedding and she really did more then what we could have expected and asked for. She made the planning process easy and brought our vision to life. I can honestly say our wedding day was perfect! There is not a single thing we would have changed and thats because Star guided us in the right direction. She was very knowledgable in vendors and what they have to offer. Star was prepared for everything and was one step ahead the whole time. We are so grateful to have met her and had this amazing woman part of this special time in our lives. Thank you Star! read more

Some brides have a clear vision of what they want their wedding to look like and some brides need a lot more guidance. I was a bride who needed guidance! When you don't know where to start, it can be a truly daunting task and you wonder where to start. Star assured me that even though I felt clueless, she could take the ideas that I did have and create a theme that my groom and I would both love. She delivered above and beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of. She thought of every detail and presented me with ideas she had based on the vision I had. As far as the day of my wedding, everything went completely smooth. All I had to worry about was enjoying getting ready with my bridesmaids and having some mamosas- ha! If there were any complications I didn't even know because she took care of everything and just wanted me to enjoy "my day." I am forever grateful for the wedding she coordinated for me and I'm full of gratitude for her hard work. read more

Star Hansen is AMAZING. Our wedding day was so magical and perfect in every way, and Star was a huge part of it. Since our venue was Cielo Farms, we had to bring in everything. Star was 100% on top of every vendor, timeline, meeting, contract to make our day run smoothly. She always responded to emails right away and made every aspect of the wedding planning so easy and efficient. She is incredibly dependable, reliable, honest, and her attention to detail is incredible. She always answered our questions thoroughly and honestly and helped in any way she could. Even though we were in the middle of the busiest wedding season, she always made each of her brides top priority. Without Star our wedding wouldn't have been close to what it turned out to be. Her team was super on point and efficient as well, really hardworking! We are so lucky that we chose to trust Star to help us plan the best day of our lives! She's hands down amazing at what she does. Love you Star, thanks for being a part of our special day - a memory forever! #bestweddingplanner read more

Where do I start? Star Hansen and her team of professionals were the reason why our wedding was the most memorable ever. I met Star by referral from a wedding I attended a few years back. At first e-meeting, Star was so attentive and eager to learn about us. She genuinely showed care for who we ARE, what we meant to each other, and what we envisioned our happiest day to be. Star never hesitated in assisting us with questions, suggestions, inspiration ideas, budget conscious, and working in providing exceptional vendors (who we all ended up working with) throughout the 18 month long wedding planning. Star took initiative to check in with our progress and made sure to follow the multiple changes to our vision patiently. The month of the wedding, Star made every effort to work with us to perfect the event and I mean PERFECT. Words cannot express what she is capable of doing, we know we aren't her only client but she made us feel like we were her one and only. Her dedication to truly making us feel special was more than what we can ask for. Wedding guests, vendors, and the venue staff (not associated with Star and her team) are all still talking about the execution of the wedding. We were definitely satisfied with her services but for others, not working directly with her, to continue to mention her work, that goes to show what Star is capable of executing. There were no hiccups, road blocks, time delays, ANYTHING. The second she lined the wedding party up for the ceremony, it felt like a dream that none of us wanted to end. We can't stress enough how well this wedding flowed. There were 4 events, located throughout the venue, and Star managed every event and transition. We are so happy to have met Star and let her run the show. If it wasn't for her, we wouldn't have had the most memorable and happiest day of our lives. Thank you Star for everything. read more

We used Star to plan my daugher's 5th birthday party. I never imagined using a party planner to help with a child's birthday but when my daughter started asking for a Unicorn party- I was at a loss for how to do it with a special flare and not just make it all from Oriental Trading. Star to the rescue. She made the entire planning process very collaborative and a really special experience for my daughter and I. She knew that my work schedule and business travel posed challenges for me to do tasks such as arrange for a balloon vendor and get quotes for party rentals and she took care of all of it for me. The end state was literally magical for my daughter and she did it all. She made everything and pulled it all together- it was the most beautiful unicorn rainbow party and so much fun for the kids including homemade rainbow play dough and a candy necklaces station. Her talent and execution is superb and most importantly she is able to transcend her skill set from wedding planning to baby showers and birthdays. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Star Hansen and I can't wait for the next time that our paths cross again! read more

From the moment we first spoke to Star we knew she was the perfect one to coordinate our wedding. Her knowledge and organization is unbelievable. We truly enjoyed having her be such an important role on such an important day to us! Her and her staff were incredibly professional. Our mind was at ease knowing she was in charge. Everything ran smooth day of the wedding and was flawless thanks to Star and her staff. We have already referred her to a few of our friends that are recently engaged. read more

Star and her team are an absolute dream to work with. I was definitely a bit of a nervous and overwhelmed Bride and Star completely put me at ease. What my Husband and I really wanted for our wedding day was to not have to worry at all about what was going on so we could just be fully present with each other and our guests. That's exactly how our wedding was. It was truly the best day of my life and Star and her team working their magic in the background are what made it all possible. They thought of every little thing! A friend of mine even broke a heel during the day and they helped her super glue it back together. If you want someone who will take away all of your stress and worry and guide you in planning the most beautiful event I would highly recommend Star. Not only is she a pleasure to work with but we also truly enjoyed the time we spent with her. Can't recommend her enough :) read more
