Nicole and Laura helped curate one of the most meaningful and memorable events in my family history, my parent's 50th anniversary party. I was able to give a vision and then through careful planning and thorough communication, a magical ambience came to life and truly had all guests impressed. Nicole and Laura have given our family the gift of celebrating our story and also making my parents feel so proud. I was given a very helpful check list guide which pointed out major needs for the party I had not even thought of. When finding vendors, it was apparent they had strong working relationships with vendors who trust Nicole and Laura and it really helped booking and processing move quickly. Our favorite detail was their referral for booking a live saxophone musician, Robert, who had every guest smiling. Both Nicole and Laura go above and beyond in setting up, problem solving last minute hiccups and truly bringing the party to a state of bliss. Any events they create and the guests who enjoy them will be so grateful, as I am.

The happy couple saying good bye as they depart!

Look no further than The W Event Planning company for your events and weddings! We were blown away by Nicole and Laura Martinez planning our wedding reception at the Los Angeles Arboretum. They listened to our thoughts, ideas and vision then made suggestions and fulfilled our dream reception flawlessly! They were such professionals in every way and never pushy. We held several meetings before the event and met them in person at the Arboretum to walk the area and make the plans. They responded immediately to our concerns, problems and fears, calmly helping and answering questions and coordinating with all our vendors from beginning to end. They were very approachable and so friendly which made us feel very comfortable. On the day of the reception, we arrived and were surprised and overwhelmed to see our vision come to life! They were constantly walking around, coordinating and staying on top of everything to make sure the event run perfectly and on time. They repeatedly came up to the bride and groom as well as their parents to ask if we needed anything or had any issues or problems, then immediately acted on them. If you want a stress-free, professional and friendly company to work your event, the Martinez sisters at The W Event Planning company should be your first pick.

Nicole and Laura were an awesome team! Hired them to be my day of coordinators and they went wayyy above and beyond. I am not very detail oriented and they even helped with some of my planning gaps! I went with their recommended florist and videographer as well and both recommendations were perfection. Our rehearsal was a little disorganized because of me and nicole and Laura helped get it on track! Even in 90 degree weather, they handled it all with grace. Our wedding day went soo smoothly because of them, and a bonus was they captured my absolute favorite reel from the day on their IG! (They even hand carried my bubble machines to make my grand exit perfect!!!) Also want to shout them out for grabbing me feminine products when I had a last minute emergency an hour before the ceremony. I cannot recommend them enough if you want a stress free day!!!!

Nicole and Laura saved our wedding day! They were assigned to our wedding during the wedding rehearsal, so I was so nervous meeting them for the first time so close to the wedding. But they were able to jump right on board and take direction on what my vision was with my decor and exceeded my expectations! They were also given the timeline and the notes of the wedding day last minute but it had felt like they had been working with us the whole time! They made me feel so much less stressed about my wedding day. My husband and I can't thank them enough for making our day literally the most special best day of our lives!

Who else but Nicole from the W Events could help me pull off my 40th Birthday party- turned proposal-turned engagement -turned surprise wedding!? I cannot tell you how many times she ran interference for me! From people who RSVP'd no showing up and not having a seat to making sure my future StepSon came in perfectly on the Skype call from Spain. No snag was too big for her. Everything was handled with grace ans a beautiful smile. I cannot thank her enough for helping me pull off my crazy idea!!!

Nicole and Laura provide EXCELLENT service!! Their detail and attentiveness is unmatched. We had a big birthday party for my sons 6th birthday and everything went smoothly! 50+ guests, DJ, dance floor, face painting, 2 jumpers (one was a 28 ft obstacle course), giant games for the kids and beautiful decorations with several tiny details that wrapped up the theme beautifully. The theme was Roblox, which if you're a parent you know isn't the easiest to decorate but they pulled it off creatively! Don't miss out on the opportunity to have these ladies level up your next event!!

See all

Highly recommend MLE! Cindy did an incredible job as our Wedding Planner and I am beyond happy that…read moremy wife and I had her! Her energy is great, she is obviously very knowledgeable of the industry, and she was always on top of everything we needed, before we even knew what we needed! MLE's preferred vendors were all fantastic, the team was communicative, and the most important of all - we felt fully prepared for the big day. Cindy made sure we walked away with the exact wedding that we pictured. So much goes into it and I do not know what we would have done without her! Thank you so much, Cindy, and all of the Mad Love Events Team! We really appreciate all your help in making our wedding the best day of our lives!

The Mad Love team took such incredible care of us throughout our entire wedding planning process…read more Cindy was so warm during our first call with her, and it really set the tone for all of our future interactions with the rest of her team! Shasele was our point of contact, and she was kind, thorough, and patient with us as we worked through all of our requirements and asked her a million different questions about the process. She also made sure to provide regular checklists of items to make sure we stayed on track, while also not putting too much pressure on us! Claire handled putting together a gorgeous design brief based on inspiration photos we gathered, which definitely helped as we went through the process of selecting and working with vendors--all of whom were also incredible! An important thing I also want to mention is that I had a sudden health issue flare up partway through our venue search, which set things back by a year. The team was incredibly understanding and checked in periodically while offering well wishes until I was ready to return to planning, and I deeply appreciate how patient they all were during such a difficult time. Overall we couldn't not have asked for a better planning team to work with, and we're so incredibly grateful to Mad Love Events for making our special day so perfect!

This review is long overdue. I met Debbie about 20 years ago and have had the joy of experiencing…read moreAquafuzion's work many times over the years.... She is one of the kindest, most genuine, and down-to-earth people you'll ever meet. Debbie's love for people shines through her work, and she pours her heart into every detail--whether it's floral design, stationery, or planning. Her team is just as wonderful: professional, warm, and always on top of things. They make wedding planning feel effortless, which is such a gift during what can often be a stressful time... If you want a company that not only creates beautiful work but also cares about their clients, I can't recommend Debbie and her team enough!!

There will never be enough words to express how truly grateful we are for the incredible Aquafuzion…read moredream team. I've been following them since I was 14, and from the very beginning, I knew they would be a nonnegotiable for my wedding--and now, I can say with 100% certainty that choosing them was one of the best decisions we made. From day one, Debbie, Alondra, Stephanie, Rachel, Presilla, Frida, and Adriana poured their hearts into every single detail. They weren't just our wedding planners--they were our designers, our florists, our coordinators, our late-night therapists (yes, answering 1 AM and 2 AM texts!), and truly our fairy godmothers. Every event they touched--from our bridal shower to the big day--was pure magic. They helped us contact vendors, designed and created our stunning invitations, and even arranged florals for our bridal shower. On the wedding day itself, they were everywhere, making sure timelines were followed to the minute, guests were taken care of, vendors were managed, and every single detail was flawless. They even made sure we and our loved ones were fed, hydrated, and happy--which might sound small, but trust me, it's everything on a day like that. Austin and I didn't have to think twice about anything. They were ten steps ahead of us at all times. Their eye for detail, impeccable organization, and genuine care made this feel like the epitome of luxury service. And somehow, on top of all that, they still made us feel like family--like they were personally invested in making sure our day was unforgettable. I'm already dreaming up our next event just so we can work with them again. If you're looking for wedding planners, designers, florists--humans--who will pour their heart and soul into your day, look no further. Aquafuzion isn't just a vendor--they're a blessing.

Paulina is the best! Couldn't recommend her enough. Neither my partner nor I are great dancers, but…read moreshe helped us put together such an amazing first dance. After our third class, Bruno Mars dropped the perfect wedding song, and we decided to switch our song just TWO weeks before the wedding Paulina was so flexible and quickly updated our dance. It turned out amazing and our guests were so impressed! Highly recommend booking a class package with her for your first dance. It was truly so special!

With one week away from our wedding, my (now) husband and I made a last minute decision to find a…read moredance instructor to somehow work their magic to teach us how to not just sway from side to side. We are so extremely thankful for Paulina! In total we signed up for a 10 session package which we included our parents as well-- 5 sessions for us, 3 sessions for my dad and me, and 2 sessions for my husband and my MIL. Both our parents barely speak English, so there was also a language barrier... Yes... all within one week-- talk about stress! Paulina taught out of a studio in Pasadena. She was extremely kind, patient, and creative. We have no experience in dance and to be honest, it was tough to memorize the steps, keep a tempo, not look stiff, and to make sure we don't step on each other. So extremely happy with our session with Paulina. If anyone can pull off a miracle, it's her! Thank you for being patient with us. Thank you for creating a code memory for us (and our guests). Thank you for your part in helping us execute our perfect wedding.

Henry Wang answered all my questions I had prior to my wedding in timely manner. I gave him an idea of what I wanted for my customized template design and he did an incredible job. Everyone loved the photo booth and the guestbook scrapbook. They all said how friendly and helpful Henry and Jonathan were. They are very flexible with any last minute changes. At the end of the night Henry and Jonathan had everything ready for me to take home; my guestbook scrapbook, CD and link to all the pictures that were taken.

I contacted Quick booth and explained how a vendor cancelled on us last minute. Henry told us not to worry and that even though he already had 2 other events that day, he had a backup photobooth for my niece's Sweet 16! They squeezed us in and were very professional doing so. They were setup ontime and they even were gracious enough to allow every single person in line to take photos. They kept everything setup and extended the ending time with a smile. Now that is what you call service. Well worth every cent! I highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed.

We planned an out-of-town wedding which is already stressful but Candice was our main point of contact for all the vendors and handled everything so smoothly. I'm not gonna lie, we were totally procrastinating on certain things but she is so incredibly organized and communicative that she kept us on top of it all without making us feel overwhelmed. She knows her stuff inside and out. She constantly went so far out of her way for us. When we flew into town to meet with vendors, our schedule was packed. The cake place was way too far away for us to make it so Candice literally drove out of her way to go pick up the cake samplers and bring them to us to take home just so we wouldn't miss out. Two days before the wedding, I was spiraling bc I thought our seating chart signage and menus weren't going to arrive in time. Candice immediately jumped in with a backup plan to fix it. Thank goodness they did arrive but we had a back up plan just in case. And the actual wedding day? She was a total rockstar!! Everything felt completely seamless. Even our guests and wedding party were pulling us aside to say how impressed they were by how professional and amazing her and her team were. Candice is just an incredible human and truly the best at what she does. You will be in the absolute best hands!

I am not sure any review could fully capture how incredible Candice is or how grateful we are that…read morewe chose her to plan our wedding. Hiring Candice was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we genuinely cannot imagine having gone through this experience without her. We booked the Whole Milk package and started working with Candice about ten months before our wedding. From the very beginning, she made the entire planning process feel incredibly smooth, organized, and easy. Wedding planning can involve an overwhelming number of decisions and moving pieces, but with Candice, we always felt like everything was under control. One of the biggest advantages of working with Candice is her incredible network and relationships with vendors throughout the LA area. She works with truly top-notch, high-quality people, and it is so clear how much her vendors respect and enjoy working with her. She stays in constant communication with everyone throughout the planning process and, as the wedding approaches, coordinates all of the details between vendors. Candice is also unbelievably organized and detail-oriented. The wedding-day timeline she created for us was incredibly comprehensive. She thought through things we never would have even considered and had every little detail accounted for. She also has an amazing eye for design and helped us create a wedding that was more beautiful than we could have imagined, while always making sure that our own tastes and preferences were at the center of every decision. She gives great advice and guidance without ever making you feel like there is a "right" way you have to do something. We received SO many compliments on how beautiful our wedding was and design of everything and that so many details were thought of to make the guest experience wonderful. As amazing as she was throughout the planning process, the wedding day itself is where Candice truly shined. She took care of absolutely everything. She has such a calm, easygoing presence that somehow makes you feel like there is genuinely nothing you need to worry about. We were able to be completely present and enjoy our wedding because we knew Candice was behind the scenes making sure every detail was handled. Our families absolutely adored her as well. By the end of the night, everyone could see how invested she was in our wedding and just how much work she had put into making the day perfect for us. She went above and beyond in so many ways, especially at the end of the night, taking care of countless little things for us that we hadn't even thought about. After working together for almost a year, we felt so much trust in Candice, and by our wedding day, she felt like such an important part of the experience. Our wedding was everything we dreamed it would be, and so much of that is because of Candice. We would hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend Candice and Milk Events without hesitation. Truly the best.

If you're looking for a company to put together a dohl to remember, def hit up SMP!

My wife and I hired Helen as the first line of defense to realize our wedding dream. I report now,…read more4 weeks after the wedding it was INDEED realized, in no small part due to Helen's on-the-job-live-in-real-time work and decision making. I started working with her about 4 months before the wedding date. She helped plan through the phone calls, the needs, the fundamentals, the vendors, and the details. She is very detailed and organized, and sets the correct parameters to create a successful wedding. As with any large project, there was good discussion and of course heated debates. I found this to be helpful in that she wasn't a yes-man or a pushover, and worked diligently to turn our ideas into reality. Another thing that stood out to me was on the day of the wedding, she made some large, key adjustments that in retrospect may have saved the wedding. I won't go into too much detail but she flipped and revamped the layout of the space in real time to adjust to the vibe she was reading from the guests (carrying tables, setting up linens, moving flowers). This gave everyone a place to sit and watch our show and listen to the speeches comfortably, something we didn't know how to make work during the planning sessions. I thank Helen for her work and hope to host more events that could use her expertise! -Peter & Vicky (couple that hired Helen to plan a wedding on 11/25/22)

Overall, we are so glad to have met Helen and have her guide us through this experience. Without her things would have been chaotic and stressful. But with her help we were able to create one of the best days ever! Our wedding was at La Venta Inn in Palos Verdes; Helen had worked at the venue many times; our event went off without a single hitch; everything was absolutely perfect. Emphatic 5 stars from us.
