    As one who actively works with wedding and proposal planners (we run a yacht charter company in Hawaii) I can tell you we have never worked with a more involved, kind, and CARING wedding planner. I was shocked to see how Sharon genuinely CARED so deeply about her client and went over the moon to make sure he got exactly what he dreamt of for his proposal. We had an overly great experience with Sharon to say the least. She really goes above and beyond to ensure that her clients get exactly what they're asking for. She reached out to us about one of her clients wanting to propose to his girlfriend on a yacht in Hawaii. We do get a lot of proposals on our boat however the experience with Sharon was immaculate and surpasses all. She was so thorough to make sure that everything went smoothly and we were impressed at how devoted she was to her clients needs. I'm still amazed! Even all the way from Irvine she worked around the time difference here in Hawaii to stay in touch with us and communicate with us to make sure that her client had the most amazing proposal experience. We are happy to say it WAS! And definitely our most memorable proposal on Mana Cruises :)

    Planning a wedding can be stressful and this time last year I was 6 months out from my wedding. People asked me if I needed help, I kindly replied no. Bridesmaids commented that I was so calm and laidback for a bride to be, I said yeah all is well. Fiancé and I were chillin and that's because we had Sharon of Sweetest Love Events to thank for that. We were referred by my brother who got married a year prior and he advised we get a coordinator ourselves. I'm glad we listened. We had Sharon for about 14 months, as we had a long engagement. She provided us a timeline so that we could stay organized and know what to do at the 12 month mark, 6 month, all the way up to the day of - so we knew what to expect way in advance. This helped us stay on track and not stress out. She was always responsive to my inquiries, she always remembered the smallest details, and was honest and genuine with every bit of the planning and correspondence. With weeks and days leading up to the event, I still wasn't panicking. She made contact with all the vendors, reviewed the contracts, welcomed any surprises and ideas I had, and truly made the planning experience seamless. The day of the rehearsal, my party and family that were there, were in consensus that they liked Sharon and commented that she was organized. She ensured there were zero mishaps, handled any potential challenges proactively, and coordinated the wedding of our dreams. Every little detail was perfect and she honestly had something to do with it all. Even with those skeptical of us pulling off a wedding on our own with little bell from family and friends, they were all impressed by the turn out and truly truly enjoyed themselves. We couldn't be more happier, and sad that she is not part of our daily life like she was in the months. She is someone we still talk about to this day when our wedding day is brought up. I highly suggest bride to be's, family and friends, to encourage their loved ones or anyone getting married for that matter to Sweetest Love Events for their Wedding Coordination services.

    Where to even begin !!! We were so pleased to work with Sharon , & the experience we received! From the start , we were only going to have a day of planner ! My side thought was it was a waste of money & we could do it ourselves! & oh man, were we wrong ! My Mother in Law insisted on having Sharon as our planner from start to finish! She & her team were absolutely amazing in every way !!! Even my mom has completely changed her mind and was so impressed with Sharon and the team on our big day!!! Our big day truly came to life & I would have never been able to do it alone! There are so many little details that go into this day, that you would never even think about, that are so important !!! Sharon and the team made our day go by so smoothly & completely stress free! Everything was so organized & so perfect in every way !!! We are forever thankful for all this team has done for us & making our big day come true !! I'm surprised to say, I now miss the phone calls and daily emails coming in for the wedding !

    I'll start by saying, our wedding was absolutely perfect. Sharon and her team are organized, professional, communicative, and on top of it. My partner and I had a vision for an unconventional wedding out in Joshua Tree. The terrain & environment was tricky to work with, we created a non-traditional timeline for the evening, and we had grand visions in mind for what we wanted to do. Sharon's team made it all possible, and exceeded our expectations. When we first started to work with Sharon, we hopped on FaceTime. She interviewed us on our wedding goals / vision, and really listened to our ideas. Sharon had good suggestions to add / helped us formulate our thoughts into something actionable. For vendor selection, Sharon introduced us to vendors who were perfect for our day. The selection process was straight forward, and she presented us with options that were exactly in line with our goals. Sharon organized on-site venue walk-throughs with the other vendor staff. Our vendor team understood exactly how to set up on the day, and this pre-meeting was super valuable. We had a timeline of our wedding schedule / plan, shopping list, and countdown days all planned out for us. Going into the wedding, my family kept asking: "Are you nervous? Do you have everything together? Anything we can help with?" -- I knew that Sharon, Nikki, and team had everything covered, so I was able to answer back to my family: "Not nervous at all! :)". For personal reasons, we needed to change the date of our wedding from Spring to Summer. There was already a clause in the contract to cover this, and it was a complete non-issue with everyone. On the day before and day of the event, Nikki and other assistants helped with the setup. They had radios / microphones to communicate across the property with one another. All of the vendors were orchestrated in their setup / timeline plans. -- I'm trying to find a way to describe this, but -- the coordination between vendors was textbook perfect. On the day of our wedding, my partner and I were lounging inside of the master suite at the venue. Nikki checked in with us to bring us cocktails, keep us up to date on what was happening, and generally just making sure we were all ready to go for the big day. It made us feel like everybody had come together to really make sure we were in our best places -- and the evening reflected that. Not sure what else to say, but if you're considering on using Sweetest Love Events for your wedding planning, I can't recommend them enough. They listen, are organized, communicate effectively, and were able to pull off our ambitious, outside of the box, wedding ideas.

    Sharon and her team at Sweetest Love were a dream to work with! Thanks to Sharon's expertise, guidance and hard work our wedding day went far beyond our expectations. WE HAD THE BESTEST DAY EVER. She had all the answers, amazing professionalism when liaising with vendors and her attention to details were impeccable. Highly recommend!

    Finding the right wedding planner is key to having a smooth, stress free wedding day. From our first phone call, I knew mine and Sharon's personalities just clicked. She was organized, responsive, kind, detail oriented, familiar with our venue, and had great advice. My family and friends absolutely loved her and her whole team! They brought our vision to life and it was more beautiful than I could have imagined. Sharon, I can't thank you enough.

    As a wedding photographer (Lovisa Photo), I work with a lot of wedding planners, but it's rare to find ones that are as professional and talented as Sweetest Love Events. Sharon is the kindest, sweetest person who really cares about her clients and helping them bring their dream wedding day to life. On the wedding day, her team is efficient and makes everything run so smoothly. They are always present, making sure the day runs like clockwork and the bride and groom get to enjoy their wedding day to it's fullest. If you are looking for a wedding planner, look no further! The team at Sweetest Love Events is worth their weight in gold and I would recommend them to anybody!

    When my fiancé (now Husband) first started our wedding planning journey, we knew how important it was to find a wedding planner. Because we were planning a destination wedding from afar in CA, we knew that we needed someone who would have solid planning experience and would be able to build a connection with. It was by chance and pure luck that Sharon and I connected. About a month before my wedding, we found out that we had to find a new planner since our previous planner unfortunately wasn't going to be able to fulfill our wedding to completion. I had previously connected with Sharon via email during my initial planner search and decided to reach out to her to see if she might be available. I hoped she was because she was someone I found an immediate connection with via email (all this before even talking with her over the phone). Because my wedding would be in SD, I wasn't sure if Sharon and her team would be available since she is based out of the OC area. At this time, I was already going through the motions of interviewing planning companies with the backdrop of the delta variant concern looming and my wedding being one month away. Immediately, once I got on the phone with Sharon - there was an instant connection. In just a matter of minutes, speaking to someone I had never met before, she was able to calm me down, tell me that everything was alright and reassured me that she would be honored if given the opportunity to help us plan the rest of our wedding. Sharon and her team were beyond amazing. From the weeks leading up to the wedding, Sharon would be in constant communication with me and my husband. We discussed the details, organized our timelines, and worked through the unknown obstacles with contingency plans in mind. She looked through all my documents and gave us a fresh perspective and you can just see her dedication to her job shine through. The day of our wedding was beautiful and magical and Sharon and the SLE team executed our vision flawlessly. She went above and beyond to save us our wedding cake (after all the cake drama the week of!) and just added her own special touch to the day. Not only was Sharon an amazing planner who stepped in for us when we needed her the most. But she truly cared about Christian and I. I've found a lifelong friend in Sharon and I can't wait to see where our friendship takes us over these years. If you are in the market for a wedding planner, We cannot recommend Sharon and her team enough!

    Sharon is in the far right corner, cheering us on, as always!

    I seriously cannot say enough good things about Sharon and her team at Sweetest Love Events​. I got engaged in June of last year and we didn't want a long engagement. We set the date of 1-1-19 (New Year's Day!) and I knew I didn't have the budget for a Wedding Planner. But I had a really clear vision of what I wanted, so the first part of the planning process I was flying solo and I didn't think it was going to be necessary to hire outside help. But when the big day was about two months away, it hit me--I was about to get in WAY over my head, because I hadn't realized how much a bride needs a day-of wedding coordinator. As a bride, you can only do so much. Even with years of experience in events and production management, I had to be honest with myself and admit I was going to need HELP. There was no way I was going to get married AND successfully execute a 125-person event on my own, but of course, my ego was telling me it would be fine. I wish I could have seen the expression on my caterer's face when I told her (over the phone) that I didn't have a Wedding Coordinator and that *I* would be in charge. She was probably bug-eyed. One friend in particular who is also an event planner and was getting married around the same time as me really put it in perspective by saying, "Christina, hiring someone to help with your wedding is the most LOVING act of self-care you could possible give yourself. You deserve to not be stressed on the day. You will be so glad you spent the money when you look back and see how much anxiety and frustration you avoided by asking for help, so you can just sit back and relax." I took what she said to heart, and since my amazing videographer Josh Fair (Fisheye Studio) happened to be married to a wedding planner (how perfect is that?) I finally stopped being stubborn and took the leap and called Sharon. She was SO lovely. She was super-supportive about all the decisions I had made up to that point, and was able to seamlessly integrate Sweetest Love Events into the planning process right when/where I needed them most. She immediately got up to speed, taking over the timeline, organizing vendor contracts, coordinating with the caterer/reception venue/chapel/hair & make up team/bridal party/car rental/photographer/videographer and DJ. After one phone call with her, I knew she was a total pro. She knew exactly the right questions to ask to get it all under control. It was always such a relief to have her on the other end of the phone. She put many missing puzzle pieces into place when she signed on, and I honestly think there would have been a lot of problems if Sweetest Love Events hadn't been there. The weeks leading up to the wedding were hectic for sure, but through it all, Sharon was grace personified. I'm a big personality, I'm surrounded by big personalities, and Sharon was a calm and gentle force of authority and experience. We had three different sites, from Terranea (the hotel resort where we were getting ready), to Wayfarer's Chapel in Palos Verdes, to the reception hall in Rolling Hills, and at each location Sharon and her team were on time and ready to go. Her assistants went to the reception site while Sharon stayed with me at the hotel, and they did an AMAZING job setting up the room with the caterers. I gave them detailed instructions for how I wanted the table settings and centerpieces, and I was so worried I wouldn't be there to supervise (control freak: c'est moi) but they exceeded my expectations. The room looked like a magic wand had been waved over it--everything was perfect. Meanwhile at the hotel and chapel, with my five bridesmaids, five groomsmen, and 40 immediate family members to organize for photos, Sharon was my wrangler, bouquet-holder, dress-fluffer, first and second AD, stage manager, buffer between crazy family personalities, and my gentle reminder that I was doing all of this to get closer to God, not to be a "perfect bride", and for that I am eternally grateful. I would not have been able to pull this off without her!!!

    Sharon snapped this photo of us... one of my Favorite photos from the day.

    Look no further, honestly. From the moment we met, I already knew my decision to move forward with Sharon & Sweetest Love Events was the best thing I ever could do to save my sanity from wedding planning! Her attention to detail and her execution was exactly what We needed. She was available for me to contact her every time I needed some input or advice. She always responded to me right away and always gave me her honesty. It was so easy to trust her with the most important day of our lives! She & her team were EXTREMELY sweet & made sure everything was going as planned. Kept a smile on all day long and really I could've lost my mind about 3-5 times the day of but her smile just kept me calm and reassured me that everything was going to be okay. Some things are not in our control and I'm so grateful that Sharon was there for me to remind me to relax and enjoy & just be in the moment! The day turned out so perfect, it was literally the greatest day of our life. Alfred & I thank you from the bottom of our heart Sharon!!!!! PS She even helped with my 2 babies... she helped put my daughters shoes on & even stood with them So my mom could get the car, when I had to leave in the limo to take photos after the ceremony... such an angel!! Will add photos later!

    with Sharon our lovely, amazing coordinator.

    See all

    Horrible experience, stay away!…read more This is a review for Eliza at BEL Events for her wedding planning services. We met Eliza at our venue 8 month before our wedding date. During the first session she presented herself well, and she talked and bragged a lot about her 18 yrs of experience in event planning and stories about how she handles wedding situations. So, we thought she is the right event planner for us and signed a contract. After signing the contract and making the payment, she was very hard to find and we did not see the expected action from her side, and every time we followed up, her response was: "don't worry I will manage everything before the wedding day". We were asking for the basics of planning such as timeline, vendor recommendations (a few to choose from) and communications (which was part of the contract) but not no action except a quote of her own rental service. We were getting closer to the wedding date and her lack of action made us so worried and very frustrated. Eventually we had to get involved and did almost 90% of the work ourselves. She was very hard to find but even when we could talk to her, she would create more unnecessary problems to an extant that my wife had panic attacks after a few meetings we had with her. 2 month before our wedding she caused so much anxiety and frustration that we decided to end our contract with her and find another planner. Thankfully, our new planner was amazing and our Wedding planning went very smooth after that, and the event was as wonderful as we could imagine! With way lower cost than what Eliza had proposed! After I requested to cancel the contract she disappeared and never responded to our emails, which is very unprofessional. Here is a list of a few issues from our experience of working with here: 1- Accessibility: every time we had a question or needed to talk to her, it was taking several days until she gets back to us. With irrelevant excuses, like she would show me her busy google calendar! 2- Push to use her own services as vendors: Per her contract she had to suggest different vendors so we can choose. But since she has rental and flower services, she was arguing so much to stop us from even looking at other options! She charges unnecessarily expensive! By doing a little research, we found our vendors and saved at least 50% with same or better quality! 3- Nonsense arguments and rude attitude: In many occasions she was just insisting on holding the event the way SHE wants, without paying attention to our request or desire. Every time we requested something, her answer was: "I don't want MY event to be that way or I don't want MY guests to be that way"!!! With a condescending attitude emphasizing that "I have 18 yrs of experience and I know what to do"!!! Any simple request would become a long story and unnecessary argument. In one occasion my wife requested that guests throw flower petals while walking out of aisle, and she immediately said: "No!, you can't do that, I don't want my cleaning crew spend time on cleaning the petals"!!!! In another occasion Eliza was insisting on only using her recommended valet service (which was quoting more than double the price of the service we eventually used) and on top of it she was forcing us to rent extra parking lot out of venue and pay extra for shuttle service!!!! While the venue had enough capacity! And when I respectfully said: I am confident that the venue has enough capacity for parking, she got very angry and said: "in that case tell all your guests to use UBER and they can't drive their own car"!!! It was a nightmare working with BEL Events and I don't recommend her service due to lack of professionalism and decency in her business.

    Thank you to Tammy and Eliza for helping with the rentals for a 50th birthday. They were super…read moreresponsive and very accommodating to all our needs. They even threw in some extras for free! Much appreciated ladies

    Abby is an absolute rockstar wedding planner! Where do we even start? From our very first call with…read moreAbby, we knew she was different. She wasn't just trying to sell us a package - she genuinely wanted to get to know us as a couple, our story, and the kind of vibe we wanted our wedding to have. That first impression stuck with us. Over the next two years of planning, Abby and her team brought our ideas to life and helped to make our dream wedding a reality. Design: We told Abby we wanted an "East Meets West" theme that blended our cultures in a way that felt modern and elegant, a tough balance that could've easily come off as cheesy in if executed poorly. But Abby nailed it of course, her design sense is unreal. From color palettes and floral choices to the way she tied together modern décor with cultural elements, everything was cohesive and elevated. She has an incredible eye for detail and always found creative, out-of-the-box ways to make our ideas work. The end result was a wedding that felt truly felt like us! Communication: Throughout the entire process, Abby and her team were consistently on top of communication. She kept us updated between meetings, sent friendly reminders, and made sure we were always aligned on next steps. It's easy for things to slip through the cracks when planning something this big, but Abby kept everything organized and stress-free. We never once felt out of the loop, she was always calm, professional, and genuinely fun to talk to. Vendor Management: Abby's vendor management skills are next level. She has deep connections and knows everyone in the wedding world. When we needed vendors for flowers, desserts, or décor, she already had a curated list of the best options with pros and cons ready for us. Some of our vendors were booked more than a year in advance, but Abby and her team were always on top of follow-ups, contracts, and logistics. By the time the big day arrived, every vendor was perfectly coordinated. It really felt like we had assembled the Avengers of wedding vendors! Working Style: We can't say enough about how enjoyable it was to work with Abby and her team. They're so friendly, positive, and genuinely care about their couples. You can tell they love what they do and that they actually enjoy working together - it felt like they were more of friends than coworkers. Whenever unexpected hiccups came up (and they always do in wedding planning), Abby handled them with grace and a sense of humor. She's done hundreds of weddings, so she always had the experience to guide us to make informed decisions. It was so fun working with the entire team and it made the stressful process of wedding planning feel less stressful. Execution: This is where Abby and her team truly shine. Planning is one thing, but executing flawlessly is another and they did it all seamlessly. From coordinating vendors to keeping our timeline on track, they were everywhere and nowhere all at once, putting out fires behind the scenes before we even knew they existed. The day flowed perfectly. At the end of the night, we were blown away to see how they had already packed up all our belongings, made sure our ride was ready, and tied up every little loose end without us lifting a finger. That level of thoughtfulness really showed how much they care. Budget & Financial Management: The truth is weddings are expensive, and it's easy for costs to spiral if you're not careful. Abby was phenomenal at keeping everything organized and transparent. She tracked every expense, set reminders for upcoming milestone payments for vendors, and even handled tipping for all our vendors so we didn't have to stress about it on the big day. What really stood out was her honesty and foresight -- anytime a decision could push us beyond our budget, she proactively flagged it and walked us through the financial trade-offs before we committed. Thanks to her meticulous tracking and planning, there were zero surprises at the end. Everything was clearly outlined and accounted for, which gave us complete peace of mind. In short, Abby and her team are the best in the business. They bring design expertise, organization, and heart to every step of the process. You'll see what we mean once you have the first introductory call with her. She's the kind of planner who truly loves what she does, doesn't settle for anything less than perfect, and it shows in every detail. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a top class wedding planner!

    I had the pleasure of meeting Abby and her team at a wedding that I assistant photographed. I…read moreremember how organized and professional the entire team carried themselves that night. As my wife and I were planning our wedding we both knew we wanted a team to support and guide us through the planning process. Working with Abby and Amanda definitely made the entire wedding planning process seamless. From our very first meeting they really helped put things into focus and laid out a clear milestones and goals throughout. On the day of our wedding and weeks leading up to it, Abby and Amanda ensured that our decorations and everything came out according to plan. Despite us throwing any changes or last minute requests their way. My wife and I had absolutely nothing to worry about and was able to enjoy our wedding completely stress free. Thank you Sugar Plum & Co for helping my wife and I plan and execute the wedding of our dreams!

While there, we stumbled into the ball room where we stood in awe at what was at the time, one of the most beautiful wedding designs I had ever seen. My mother and I promptly asked the first person we saw who was designing this wedding and got a card for a "Natalie Good". I pocketed the card and thought- one day! Fast forward 5 years I had met Matt(my now husband) and we were moving into together. I was cleaning my room at my parents house and came across Natalie's card and put it in my purse. 3 months later, Matt proposed on a Saturday and the following Monday I called Natalie and booked her. First and foremost, Natalie is an angel on this planet. Wedding planning is so stressful and I never had to worry about a single thing, she went above and beyond to make sure I was not stressed and happy. She is more than just our wedding planner and over the 3 years we planned my wedding (thanks covid...), she became my friend and someone who I adore Second, when going down this road, I think trusting your planner/wedding team is extremely important to make sure the process is seamless and smooth. I can tell you that without a doubt, I trust Natalie and her team implicitly! I trusted them so much that I let them run free on the design for my wedding and I could not have been happier! Everything was perfect and so gorgeous- from the table design to the flowers, everything was flawless and it was so amazing to watch her vision come to life. It's been 3 months and I am still getting calls and compliments from all of our guests and even friends of guests who weren't there but saw pictures. She is insanely talented and has an unbelievable list of vendors that are just as talented. We even had a silent disco at our wedding and it was a hit! Third, her team is awesome. The women who helped me specifically- Ellie, Kennedy, and Maddy- where next level professional and so helpful. There were nights where I would be up at midnight and text Ellie and she would always answer and talk me down. Kennedy and Maddy were running around on wedding day making sure I was hydrated and fed and happy. Everything about A Good Affair is top notch and I could not be more grateful or fortunate to have had them design, plan and make our dream wedding a reality. I cannot recommend them enough if you are looking for a team to take your wedding to the next level and who will be there every step of the way to make your dreams come true!

    This review is based on my communication with this company. I didn't hire them so I can not say if…read morethey provide great service for your party. What I can say is, they don't really go straight to the point and communicate back n forth in email when you had requested 3 times to call you to talk it out. I mean, if off the bat you're having a hard time conveying your plans, pricing with me then its not worth my time. They reply back quick, which I appreciate but them going around in circles is annoying. Also, if you're looking for budget, this is NOT the place for budget. She knew my budget, yet continued to ask questions through email. Finally, she gives me the quote of $10-$15k for a wedding next year (saying pricing will go up next year) and if its something i am still interested in. Wow, knowing where my budget is, which was less than $3k, and you know your asking is triple that, is so unprofessional. This is not accommodating to new clients or at all helpful. If you plan to have a wedding with a $10-$15k budget in mind then this might be your type of vendor but if you're asking for really minimal details for $3k, and they don't just say "sorry our services are over your budget" then they don't care or respect your needs. These days, customer service should be catered to what you can provide for the client. If you can't make it work, then just simply let the client know. Do not waste their time with back n forth email. Some of us don't understand what you're saying in email and a clearer communication shows you care enough to explain it.

    Where to even begin, not that we would ever want to plan a wedding again...but if we did we'd pick…read moreMaria and her team every single time. From the moment we had to pick a planner, we knew Maria was the right choice. Our first phone call felt like talking to your best friend you had known for years. She showed genuine care and interest from the get go and we knew we were in good hands. As someone who is a little more Type A (bride) when it comes to organization and planning, it was over whelming trying to consider how to plan the biggest day of our lives. Maria went above and beyond and took any ounce of stress away. She helped us pick our vendor team early on into the planning process, allowing us to find people who matched our energy. What seemed to be so daunting became some of the easiest decisions to make. Throughout the year, Maria checked in with us to make sure things were okay. She looked over our contracts and helped us plan the next steps whether it was food tasting, floral meetings, making a design deck, or buying a cake just for a photo. Monthly chats quickly turned into weekly chats as we got closer to the big day. Maria ensured every little detail was covered asking us questions about our bridal party, songs we wanted to be played, table greetings, and thank you cards. Before the day of our wedding, she sent us a checklist of items to give her to help take the added weight off our shoulders so we can enjoy our day. What we thought was already an above and beyond was nothing near the day of experience. Maria and her team could not have planned a better timeline for us and our loved ones. Maria took charge handling all our vendors while her assistants Cat and Chelsea ensured we were okay and our bridal party was set and ready to go. Everything was seamless as they took care of little things such as ensuring we had food to eat, water to drink, and a moment to breathe. When we had some last minute changes such as changed meals or guest coming and going, they handled it with ease. Many of our guest raved about our vendors and how amazing the day was, but it couldn't have happened without Maria and her team. Our closest loved ones who knew Maria was our planner couldn't stop complimenting how on top of it she was the whole day, and we couldn't agree more. Maria is not only a planner but she becomes your friend. She takes genuine interest in you and makes you feel on top of the world. We couldn't be more fortunate enough to have worked with her and her team.

    Maria was the best day of coordinator we could have asked for. She was super organized, kind, and…read morekept the day flowing spectacularly. She also was able to send us some BTS content that we didn't even know she was taking. I couldn't have imagined anyone else helping make our day as magical as it was. Her and her colleague Chelsea truly were the dream team. We 10/10 recommend Maria to anyone who wants the perfect day!

    Unfortunately, I was not able to have the Forever & Always Wedding that I dreamed of. Although…read moreHeather communicated very well, there were a couple of incidents that I found slightly unprofessional: 1. I signed a contract with one of her staff as my wedding planner. Unfortunately, from my understanding, there were unexpected changes in the company, so Heather had to take over. However, Heather responded that she would make an exception for me and not charge me an additional $1000 for this change. With all due respect, I should not be financially penalized for changes that an owner experiences; especially since I already signed the contract that I financially agreed to. 2. I encountered a lot of life changes that disrupted my ability to move forward with a wedding that my brothers were supposed to be in. For instance, I had a depressed, suicidal brother, I had another brother leave for Japan for the Marines, and I had an uncle pass away. All vendors except for Heather were so kind to fully refund my deposits due to the situation. Unfortunately, Heather responded that she was still a businesswoman and was financially hurting, so she was in no place to offer a full refund. I basically paid Heather almost $500 to establish a simple contract. I already had all the vendors in place and organized, so this deposit was for nothing. Heather should not be held responsible for unexpected circumstances, but this wedding meant a lot to me. As a business owner, you should be able to compromise with your clients based on their situation. I could have easily used that deposit to help my family for the funeral. I find this situation absurd because I never wanted a wedding planner to begin with. Our wedding list was only 32 guests, but my fiancé insisted that we hire a planner because he did not want me to stress out. I admire him for caring, but this wedding was going to be a private and intimate event with very little management. I blame myself for hiring a wedding planner when I did not need one. It is unfortunate that Heather was thinking like a businesswoman and not a human being with empathy. Nonetheless, please make sure to ask about the refund policy for emergencies such as death, health, etc. Two stars are for her communication, but I can only evaluate Heather based on my experience with her before the wedding date. Therefore, I am unable to provide feedback for her day service since my wedding never happened. Has it ever occurred to you, Heather, that you had not heard from me in a year because I was busy dealing with other important things like planning a funeral? My wedding was the last thing on my mind. Also, I was not complaining about the charge that never happened, I am complaining about your response to your changes. There was no need to comment on that you are more expensive and won't be charging me. We could have proceeded forward with whatever it was we were doing. You contacted ONE venue and that is because they had YOU sign a contract with them. FYI, my pre-engagement photos were scheduled with the photographer I hired for my wedding and I was still refunded the full amount. This vendor did not work for free either and still managed to prioritize customer service over money. You are a business owner and have the liberty to do as you please, but you must have needed the money more than I did, so I hope my contributions helped your business. Nonetheless, well done on your communication. If you have a family member with a life-threatening illness or you have a medical condition that may require potential hospitalization, please do not hire Heather as your wedding planner as she will not refund you the deposit because not make exceptions for your situation simply because she does not "work for free." Thank you.

    It's so important to relate to and connect with your wedding planner and from day 1 it felt like…read moreshe was my friend helping me plan my dream wedding. I found Heather through Yelp and let me say: she really understood my vision and kept it real with me on what i could and couldn't afford lol. Not to mention, I literally and honestly don't know how I could have enjoyed my wedding without Heather. Her and her assistant, Courtney, handled E V E R Y T H I N G on the day of our wedding at the Estate on Second and then some. If there was any sort of problem, she had the solution. If we needed a drink, she was there with mine and my husband's signature cocktails. If I was losing track of time, she made sure to gently push me along. She truly handled everything so that me and my husband could just have FUN and for that I am truly grateful.

    Wow! We are forever grateful to Amy for being our wedding planner. She is absolutely amazing at…read morewhat she does; I really cannot imagine anyone doing a better job. We hired Amy as a partial planner, which included flowers/design, suggesting vendors, and taking control over everything once the wedding got closer. Every aspect of her service was great. The floral and décor mockups she did were absolutely gorgeous and exactly what I envisioned. I could have never achieved the vision I had without her help. Our vendor team was to die for, and I'm pretty sure we got a lot of them because of Amy's connections. Most importantly, she makes you feel completely at ease and excited on your wedding day. She truly has everything under control and you don't have to worry about anything but getting ready, calming your nerves, and walking down that aisle! If you're looking for a wedding planner, look no further than LVL and Amy for the wedding of your dreams and your best experience on the special day!

    My husband and I got married in December of 2019 and Heather of LVL was the very first step we…read moretook towards planning our wedding. Best decision we made...besides each other of course ;) I did a TON of research and spoke to 7 planners before moving forward with Heather. I could tell right from the first 5 minutes of talking to her that I wanted to work with her. She is kind, genuine, organized, transparent, helpful, creative, and so many other wonderful things. I am very much a Type A person and was nervous I wouldn't get exactly what I wanted, but I got everything and more! She even has this incredible platform she uses, Aisle Planner, and I was obsessed. If you like organization, it'll be your best friend during this process. Everyone kept telling me that planning a wedding was going to be a really stressful time, but to be completely honest, the only thing I was stressed about the entire time was our welcome dinner (which was the only event we didn't hire Heather for). The day of the wedding went smoother than I could have ever dreamed of, and I never had to think about anything other than feeling/looking my best and enjoying the most magical night. I promise all of you amazing brides that you will be SO happy with your decision if you go with LVL. Thank you so, so much Heather!

    Brittany from Events by Katherine was our daughter's day of wedding coordinator and we could not…read morehave been any more pleased. For folks who don't know a day of coordinator is a must and don't just show up on the day of the wedding. They get to know you, your details, plan a timeline and so much more. Then on the day of the wedding they relieve you of all the duties. Brittany was exceptional. She proactively took care of everything. Our decor was beautiful and she placed everything where we asked. She took care of the bride and groom and the wedding party throughout the night and then at the end of the night had everything packed up and sent with us in the limo or set aside to pick up the next day. She made everything run smoothly and we highly recommend her and Events by Katherine! Thanks so much Brittany!

    Katherine was our wedding planner. We are absolutely thrilled with how our special day turned out,…read moreand how smoothly everything went thanks to Katherine. We got married in Casa Romantica in San Clemente. However, we were living far away in San Jose in the year building up to the wedding. We also had a baby and were enduring the covid pandemic throughout the wedding planning year. Despite all this, Katherine made everything a breeze. Most of the "work" we had to do was make multiple-choice type decisions where she presented us with options (like: picking dj, food, flowers, decor, cake, etc). For fuzzier things like vows and ceremony script, she gave us lots of advice and guidance. Since we were remote, we could only afford a couple trips to arrange wedding details in person. Katherine greatly accommodated our special situation: for a couple weekend visits, she packed our schedule to be super productive and get most in-person things done at once. On the techie side, she is extremely organized with spreadsheets for timelines, guest management, budgets, etc. She was very responsive and focused in email threads. She also easily handled any task involving invites online, wedding websites, registry etc. As I work in the tech industry, I feel like Katherine is like the kind of product manager you dream of working with. On the personal side, Katherine is very low-key, never exerted her influence or opinion, and always had a cheerful attitude. She would mostly listen to us try to reason decisions out, and offer any insights or details we might not have thought of. We really felt like we owned the decision-making process and made the wedding to our own taste. We, with our families, are now scrolling through wedding photos with joy. I have heard both sets of parents marvel at how beautiful AND well-organized our ceremony and reception were. That is all thanks to Katherine!
