Her professionalism, her experience, her smarts, her familiarity with the locale, her industry contacts (ranging from floral to furniture rental to catering), and her like-able personality ... all resulted in a fabulous event that was fun and tasteful and just plain awesome. I lost track of how many guests came up to us and raved (unsolicited) about how much fun they were having and how well thought out everything was. Mackenzie gets tons of credit for all those compliments. We agreed wholeheartedly with the sentiments of our guests. We were overjoyed. Superb job, Mackenzie!

Our wedding day was truly one of the best days of our lives, and we're incredibly grateful that our…read morevision came to life. The final design was beautiful, and we loved working with our vendor team. Unfortunately, our experience with Details Darling throughout the planning process did not meet our expectations. The biggest challenge was communication. Responses regularly took about a week, despite email being identified as the preferred method of communication, and we often had to send multiple follow-ups or text messages to receive answers. More concerning, these communication delays also affected our vendors. Our rental company repeatedly followed up on outstanding items because they were unable to get the information they needed, and I ultimately called them myself to apologize and reassure them that we valued their partnership. Our paper goods designer also contacted me directly on multiple occasions because they were not receiving timely responses from our planner. Accountability was another significant disappointment. We spoke with one of the owners during our initial consultation, but after signing our contract and submitting our deposit, we never heard from ownership again. In fact, after our deposit had been in their possession for several days, I had to reach out myself asking what the next steps were. Later, after raising serious concerns about our experience early in the planning process, there was still no outreach or involvement from ownership to understand our concerns or ensure our experience improved. That lack of leadership and accountability was disappointing. Throughout the planning process, we often felt like we were driving the work ourselves. We were the ones identifying ways to reduce costs while still achieving our design goals. Rather than acting as a strategic partner in balancing budget and design, we often found ourselves leading those conversations. We also experienced confusion with rental pricing that resulted in unnecessary time and effort to resolve. There were also several day-of execution issues that were disappointing, including our escort card display not being set up as designed, my veil not being steamed, music delays with our ceremony and reception entrance, limited coordination during family photos, meals that were promised to be saved for us never being delivered, and our cake still being rock hard because it had not been removed from refrigerator in time. None of these issues individually ruined our wedding day, but together they reflected a pattern of slow communication, limited accountability, and inconsistent execution. Looking back, we believe our wedding was as successful as it was because of our own preparation and the exceptional work of vendors we selected, none of which were on the recommended vendor list from our planner. We appreciate the time Monica invested in our wedding and her kindness. However, based on our experience, we cannot recommend her or Details Darling's planning services to couples looking for a planner who will communicate proactively, advocate for their clients, and consistently follow through on commitments.

Finding a hands on, easy to work with planner in the SoCal area is no small feat so finding Jess felt like a God-send. She seamlessly guided myself and my husband through every choice (big and small, easy and hard) and always felt like a true teammate trying to keep us happy and on budget. Day of Coordination was handled seamlessly by Ashlynn with Kendra as her assistant. The pair worked together with my wedding venue coordinators at the Parker Palm Springs flawlessly. I was able to focus on my day and relax knowing everything was being taken care of. Their expertise, attention to detail and TLC doesn't go unnoticed by other vendors and guests. Thank you girls for being such an integral part of mine and Nino's wedding day! We love you!

Since I'm Vietnamese American, it was important to me to also hire a Vietnamese American coordinator who could understand any underlying cultural dynamics and be able to communicate with my side of the family, so Mellie Bee had been in the back of my mind for years even before I got engaged. Melissa put me at ease during our initial consultation and I appreciated her honesty about what services we would practically and realistically need, which is why I moved forward with booking. Leading up to the day, I knew we were in good hands. Melissa and her team worked with us to put together a meticulous wedding day timeline and master checklist, combing through every single detail and trying to account for any potential friction points and setbacks. During the rehearsal and on the day, Melissa was always checking in on us, letting us know we were being taken care of, and making sure to stay on top of everything. We had a few hiccups throughout the day that sometimes verged on panic-inducing, but Melissa and her team kept us calm and smoothed things over every step of the way. We loved the energy and enthusiasm they all brought, and they really helped our wedding be a fun and memorable experience that wasn't overcast by stress and mishaps. Having a professional by your side is a must for any big event, and we highly recommend Mellie Bee Events! Thank you so much for all your hard work, Melissa!

We came in with a loose vision, and she helped us shape it into something beautiful and meaningful. It was really important to us that our wedding included elements from both of our cultures--Mexican and Samoan/Hawaiian--and she made that happen effortlessly. Every detail felt intentional and true to us. Throughout the entire planning process, Foyin was super communicative. From our initial consultation all the way through the day-of, we always felt aligned and supported. And the cherry on top: we actually came in under budget, which felt like a miracle! Thank you, Foyin, for helping us bring our dream wedding to life. You made it all feel so easy and special.

When they were all put together, it looked BEAUTIFUL. There's no doubt they use good quality items. BUT here is what to beware of - Hidden Fees & Last Minute Fees with no explanation. When asked for a price breakdown for added fees, they cannot provide that. Additionally, they need to improve at making sure everyone on the team is well versed on the prices and accurately charges for items to ensure that you get what you think you're paying for. Also, beware of the possible inconvenience of being asked to drive a floral vase to their base location in Duarte 2 days before your wedding, despite having been asked a month prior if they needed anything extra from you. Also, beware of late delivery, as we had florals delivered after the start of our event. I will say that Luz did issue us a refund for missing items, which is appreciated, but just be aware of these things. The production is good, but the customer service needs work.
