Decor and flower designs at our wedding ceremony
Kim C.

The first advice I received from my friend who got married last year was to invest in a wedding planner because it is totally worth it. We are SO thankful to I-Jou at Sunny California Weddings for helping us design and coordinate our wedding at the Hyatt Regency Resort Hotel in Newport Beach, Ca. She was hired as a partial wedding planner because we had already booked and hired most of our vendors prior to hiring her for help. She is professional, compassionate, and knows her stuff. We told her our budget and she kept us within our means while making our wedding day look exceptionally beautiful and kept everything running smoothly. Wedding planning can be stressful and w/ a great wedding planner to help, it made our lives easier. THANK YOU!!!

I-Jou and her team were a godsend.. everything down to the type of candles and placement I wanted I imagined down to a T and she managed everything beautifully! I had exactly what I wanted for my wedding but needed the right person to help orchestrate the special day. I trusted her fully and she was just so loving and easy to work with! Especially on my day of, with all the things u least expect would happen at a wedding..(we had an ambulance emergency, friends beyond tipsy, a no-show DJ, and a sunset photo session to catch) I-Jou was all on it. The last thing you need as a bride is to worry about how everything is going to go down, having her there was one of the best decisions my husband and I have ever made. She was a referral from a very good friend and I'm so blessed to have had her. Thank you for everything we loved your passion and enthusiasm!

I-Jou and her team was amazing! Planning a wedding definitely sounds like an exciting event, but it is also super exhausting. I-Jou made sure that I still get to experience the exciting part, and she'd take care the exhausting part for me, so the whole process is so much easier and smoother. Our wedding day was amazing and it was everything I could dreamed of, many thanks to the whole team of Sunny California Wedding in ensuring that is the best day of our life.

See all

We were referred to Queenie by a close friend (also one of our bridesmaids!) who had used her as a…read morecoordinator, and it was the best decision ever! Queenie is the definition of professional, organized, and incredibly thoughtful in her approach. From the beginning, she provided us with all the right tools and guidance, giving us appropriate questions to ask vendors, reviewed contracts, and shared insightful feedback that really helped us make informed decisions. She was never pushy; instead, she offered suggestions based on her expertise while always empowering us to shape the wedding in our own way to truly make it OURS. We had some pretty unconventional requests, and she never hesitated to support us. We genuinely felt heard and cared for the entire time. Queenie kept everything on track with structured meetings, a shared Google Drive, spreadsheets, checklists, and timelines that even we (as Type A people) found incredibly helpful. She was always available to answer questions or provide updates, be it by text, phone, or email. As the big day got closer and things became busier for us, Queenie stepped in even more to coordinate with vendors, troubleshoot logistical issues (like creatively solving our catering parking situation with a carpool plan!), and make sure everything was good to go. And then the day of! Queenie and her team executed everything flawlessly! She kept us on track of our timeline without ever making us feel rushed (you hear of the day going by so quickly so often from previous couples) and the entire day flowed beautifully. Honestly, we've heard so many couples talk about the behind-the-scenes chaos and hiccups of wedding days but with Queenie, there was none of that (during, behind the scenes, OR after). Everything was just PERFECT. It was the most perfect day and tbh, we were shocked that we DID that, and we know we owe so much of that to her and her team! Queenie, thank you for helping us celebrate with our favorite people in the most joyful, stress-free way possible. Truly the best day of our lives. Thank you.

We worked with Queenie as our Emcee and Norm as our DJ. We were absolutely blown away by their…read moreexpertise, professionalism and attention to detail. We had no idea what to expect going into this, but Queenie is truly a gem and ensured an amazing experience. Not only did she emcee for the evening, but prior to the day of, she made sure we had a detailed timeline leading up to the wedding, fun game ideas (that our guests couldn't stop talking about after), and a smooth and coordinated experience with Norm. Though my husband and I went into every prep meeting feeling a little chaotic, we always came away with clarity and renewed excitement! The day of is where both Queenie and Norm really shined. Norm was a master at reading the room and keeping the music and energy lively. His attention to detail with his set up ensured everything worked smoothly. Queenie continued to shine and amaze as the night went on. Even with multiple obstacles and even some points of tension throughout the night, she went out of her way to smooth things over and keep the show going. We don't know how she did it with the random things popping up interrupting our detailed timeline, but we are so grateful to her ensuring we got every experience we wanted for our special day. The only caveat to that is we had to sacrifice a little of our dance time. We know Norm would've kept that party going late into the night if we were given the chance. Still, we had the best time and a memorable night. If weddings were more than a one time thing, we'd be booking the both of them every time!

My wife's bridesmaids paid for Liz, Daniel, and an assistant to work our wedding as a shower gift…read more I know the price though and I can say with certainty that it was WELL worth it and is something I would gladly pay for myself in hindsight. We got married at Cravens Estate with 200 guests. Cravens is (or "was" since we were told ours would be the last wedding there; damn those snobby, rich, complaining neighbors!) a venue where you bring everything yourself -- food, booze, tables, chairs, musicians, servers, etc., so as you can imagine there is quite a bit of coordinating that had to be done. Liz's team met with us several times in the six months leading up to our wedding. We had some minor snafus nailing down meeting dates/times because they were coming from out east and we live close to Santa Monica, but we made it work. Our venue added restrictions seemingly every month thanks to those pesky neighbors, and Liz and Daniel were good about brainstorming workarounds with us. As for the big day, everything went great. They basically took care of everything that we were too busy to check on ourselves, and I'm sure they were running around monitoring details as my wife and I rested/socialized/ate/drank/took pictures. Funny story, we actually had forgotten our ceremony candles, and Daniel took off for the nearest mall about a half hour before our ceremony to get us something that would work and came back all out of breath just in time. The effort was much appreciated. They kept things moving and on schedule but also were able to give us an extra minute or two with a table here or there. I brought a few blank checks to the wedding and used one to extend Liz's team a couple more hours. All in all, I highly recommend their services! The peace of mind alone makes it worth hiring them.

I got married on 10/6/12 at the University of Michigan football stadium (aka the Big House)…read more I'm from california and I knew Liz and Dae Gun were good so I hired them to do my wedding in Michigan. They agreed even though they were unfamiliar with the Michigan territory and our venue. We had to also communicate through skype & google chat. Liz's assistants designed and printed our invitations and programs (a separate addition I paid for). I was very picky/specific with the way I wanted them --- football ticket style invitations and foam finger looking paper programs. Everything came out SOOOO perfectly. They did it in a manner so that it was still classy, feminine and cute yet sporty. They are so talented. People even asked if they could save the invitations and email us their rsvp instead of ripping the ticket stub. As for the wedding coordinating, Liz is very very meticulous. Even my venue and vendors were impressed and commented that they have never seen such an organized and detailed timeline. She wants your wedding to be as perfect as possible. We met via computer 3 times where we went over the timeline and other questions she had for us. She asked questions I would have NEVER thought of. She covers everything from the day before to the end of the night so that you come and leave with everything. I am very impressed with the organization of This Is The Day. The day of the wedding went so smoothly. I didn't know of any problems at all. My husband and I were so stress free. We just did everything they told us to do. Our MC had stage fright and ended up not making the flow as smooth, Dae Gun/Liz stepped up and guided him to make sure the flow of the reception went smoothly. Also, the day of, we found out we had to do the korean ceremony (pae bek). Liz and Dae Gun fit it into the schedule so smoothly. No one knew how to put on the head piece of the hanbok and the male hanbok, but Liz and Dae Gun did. They also guided us through the whole pae bek. They are amazing and obviously very experienced. The fact that they were in a different state didn't alter their skillsets at all! I don't know what I would have done without them. THANK YOU THIS IS THE DAY!

Kimberly was an absolutely amazing wedding coordinator. She was incredibly organized,…read moredetail-oriented, and always willing to step in wherever needed. She scheduled check-ins with us to help keep us on track and reduce stress as much as possible. She coordinated with all of our other vendors to make sure all the different teams were on the same page. Kimberly was the glue that held our big day together and without her, our big day wouldn't have gone nearly as smoothly without her. What really stood out was how much she cared--Kimberly treated our wedding like it was her own. She came prepared with solutions to any issues that came up and always kept our budget in mind. Her suggestions were always thoughtful and curated towards what she knew about us as a couple. She never suggested or pressured us to go in any specific direction, and wanted to always make us feel comfortable in our choice. If there was any opportunity for her to alleviate our stress or take some coordination/work off our plate, she always offered to step in and take over. She truly went above and beyond every step of the way. On the day of - Kimberly ran the entire show seamlessly. From the photo booth to our ice cream bar, she coordinated it all while making sure the rest of the reception went smoothly. All of our activities and scheduled items moved along without skipping a beat. We're so thankful for everything she did to make our day stress-free and unforgettable. We're recommending everyone we know to Kimberly and cannot thank her enough!

Kim was AMAZING! I thought I could plan the wedding myself,…read moreespecially the day of. Boy was I wrong. I'm glad I hired Kim to help me towards the day of the wedding. She thought of the little things that I didn't even think of. Like pins in case something happens to my dress and a tide to go. On the day of, she had everything planned so that I wouldn't have to worry about anything. I was able to have fun and no one bothered me that day. My wedding even had 2 extra people show up that weren't invited, but Kim was able to figure out the seating without having to ask me. I would highly recommend her for anyone planning a wedding. She really is the best!

Choosing Rachelle from Radiant Love Events as our wedding planner was absolutely the best decision…read morewe made during our wedding planning process. When my husband and I got engaged, I was overwhelmed and unsure of where to begin with wedding planning. We discovered Rachelle on Instagram and were immediately drawn to her beautiful designs and aesthetic. From our very first Zoom call, she put us at ease, and her warmth, patience, and genuine kindness made it clear she was the perfect fit for us. Even before we officially booked with Rachelle, she went above and beyond by sharing a curated list of venue recommendations. Throughout the planning process, she consistently provided us with thoughtful guidance and vendor suggestions. Every single vendor she recommended was amazing and easy to work with. As someone who can be extremely indecisive, she helped make all of our decisions much easier. Rachelle was also very conscientious about helping us stay within our budget. She never made us feel pressured to spend more than we were comfortable. One of the most helpful things was her inventory of complimentary wedding items--things like table number signs, a card box, and other beautiful decor pieces we were able to borrow, which not only helped us save money but tied everything together perfectly. On the wedding day, Rachelle was a calming and grounding presence. She ensured everything ran seamlessly and that we were completely free to enjoy the moment. One of the things we appreciated most was how intentional she was about creating space for us as a couple - right after the ceremony, she carved out a quiet moment for us to enjoy some food and just soak it all in together, away from the crowd. It was such a special pause in an otherwise fast-moving day. We received countless compliments not just on how beautiful the wedding was, but on how smoothly and professionally everything was run. Because of Rachelle, my husband and I were able to be fully present, knowing that every detail was in trusted hands. We are so grateful to Rachelle for bringing our vision to life. She's more than just a wedding planner - she's a true professional, a calming presence, and someone who genuinely cares about her couples and their people. There truly aren't enough words to capture how amazing she is. Thanks to Rachelle, we had the BEST. DAY. EVER!

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Rachelle for the tremendous effort she put into…read moremaking our special day absolutely unforgettable. From the moment she responded to our initial "inquiry of services" email to the picture we took together at the end of our wedding, she consistently gave 1000%. Just like many of you who are seeking a wedding planner, we were probably just as clueless. Which colors should we choose? Where can we find a reliable florist? What questions do we need to ask when visiting potential venues? And how on earth do we obtain a wedding license? Rachelle swiftly alleviated the anxiety caused by the uncertainty and confusion. Her unwavering self-assurance and meticulous attention to detail brought a sense of relief from day one. What we came to realize is that, despite all the meticulous planning we undertook before our big day, things still went wrong. With the temperature soaring to 95 degrees, falling behind schedule, and our feet aching, Rachelle and her team came to our rescue. They consistently offered us water bottles and napkins to combat the sweat and heat, proposed schedule adjustments that seamlessly integrated into the day, and even came to the rescue by suggesting we take a moment to relax together, handing us our signature cocktails and serving our hors d'oeuvres. The potential mini panic attack that could have happened was averted due to Rachelle and her team's presence. As valuable as the spreadsheets, recommendations, walk-throughs, and monthly meetings were, what resonated most with us was Rachelle's ability to connect with us on a profound and personal level. Throughout the process, it was more than just business; she took the time to understand us as a couple and as individuals, transcending the role of a mere "wedding vendor" and becoming a true friend. If you're in search of an individual who will guide you meticulously through every step of preparing for your big day, someone who has considered every potential hiccup, a person equipped with limitless solutions for any arising issues, and a calming presence during the most stressful moments, your quest for a wedding planner ends here. You've found it. Once again, Rachelle, our heartfelt gratitude to you! You and your Radiant Love Events team were indispensable to our wedding's success and we will be forever grateful!
