The best decision I made when planning my wedding was hiring Ryan for full coordination. Ryan gave…read moremy husband and me the wedding of our dreams, on a short timeframe and exactly on budget. We live in Boston, MA and were getting married at the Serra Retreat in Malibu, CA; we had also decided on a date that was only 6 months away. Both my mother and myself work full-time with long hours. Ryan made planning a wedding in 6 months from across the country possible. More than that, however, she made the planning process stress-free and enjoyable. Ryan is a calm and creative professional. The vendors she suggested exceeded our expectations and the budget she put together was accurate and reasonable. We are also a religious couple and Ryan was respectful of the sacred tone that we wanted to set for the ceremony. Throughout the process she responded to the vision I had for my wedding, and used her own expertise to make that vision a reality. I wanted an elegant but simple reception that would complement the Spanish courtyard and natural beauty of the Serra Retreat. Ryan put together a design that created an informal garden feel without being rustic, and was full of personal touches without being fussy. The final event was more fun and beautiful than I had dreamed. Having Ryan in charge on the day-of meant that my bridesmaids, myself, and my mother could enjoy ourselves and be in the moment. (She even handled the uninvited +1 that one of our guests brought without me knowing anything was wrong). Four months after our wedding, our friends are still talking about how it was the best wedding they've been to.

Having probably researched 20+ coordinating companies and spoken with half as many, I knew I wanted…read moreRyan as my coordinator the minute I got off the phone with her. Her energy and knowledge about the industry came through clearly on the phone and for someone planning the event from the east coast, I just appreciated her friendly, but honest attitude and genuine advice. Moreover, it was really important to us to have someone we could communicate with through a variety of formats and Ryan's quick response time and comfort around technology really sealed the deal for us. Even though we only contracted Ryan for the day of our event, she went above and beyond our expectations. Being the one of the first from our circle of friends to get married we had few to turn to for advice and expectations. We peppered Ryan with questions through out the planning process (sorry Ryan!) but she really helped guide us to through the journey. The day of the actual wedding was filled with what I presumed a lot of logistics, set up and directing. I presume because all I saw were the finished work. As the event stretched through out the night, toasts magically occurred, food courses automatically changed, and the guests danced the night away. Looking back, if there was one thing I did right, it was booking Ryan as my day of coordinator.

Thank you so much being my wedding coordinator. She is a very organized person, replies to email…read morequickly, makes things happen on schedule. Special thanks for dealing with difficult situations on my big day really made my guests happy and helped me a lot. I truly would recommend this to my friends.

I got married October 16, 2021. Our ceremony and venue were in different locations and one of our…read moreconcerns was that we needed someone at the venue to set up and get everything ready while we were having our ceremony almost 1.5 hours away. We wanted all our family present at the ceremony and therefore we had no one else we would trust to take this on... we therefore decided we needed a day of coordinator. Hiring Ms. Day-Of was the BEST decision! Maury went above and beyond. She was very communicative and flexible with calls and meetings and she worked with me in the months leading up to my wedding day planning the timeline and contacting my vendors. When it came to the day of, she took care of everything! Not only did she set up all the tables and decorations, as I had envisioned it, but also coordinated with all our vendors, kept us on schedule, helped guide and facilitate getting guests from the cocktail hour to the dinner and helped clean up and make sure all of our gifts and personal items were safe and put away for when we were ready to leave that night. She was very professional and she made a great impression with our guests. We actually received great feedback from family, guests, and other vendors, who interacted with her, on what an amazing job she was doing.  We can't thank her enough for doing such an amazing job in relieving that stress and allowing us to enjoy our beautiful wedding to the fullest!

We were recently married and Maury did a wonderful job with our Day of coordination. Our venue was…read morenot very accommodating with the amount of time provided for set up, but she was able to set everything up beautifully. The night went so smoothly as well and she made sure to keep us on a timeline that we had previously worked on together. She attended the rehearsal dinner as well to get to meet our families and explain the timeline to them. Overall amazing experience and made our wedding day so much less stressful, which allowed us to truly enjoy with our family and friends. 10/10 would recommend for your special event!

Yoleine and her expert team at Twelve Events made our wedding spectacular. From the intricate…read morecandy table, to the stylish seating chart, to the Berkeley Bowl grocery bag party favors, Yoleine and her team never ceased to amaze us. Their attention to every little detail made our wedding personal and memorable. Unlike most women, I did not have an idea what I wanted for our wedding. I didn't know what color scheme I wanted, or anything like that. When I met with Yoleine, she was able to pick my brain and take my general ideas and run with them. Our wedding was far beyond what I could have ever dreamed up because of Yoleine's creativity and expertise. I was also on a budget, as most brides are, and Twelve Events was able to help us get all the special things for our wedding, such as the nice chair covers, the entertaining photo booth, the personalized name cards, the fancy apothecary jars for the candy table, etc. I cannot stress enough how much every bride needs Twelve Events if they do not want to be pulling out their hair. Leading up to our wedding, I had nothing to worry about. There were about a million and a half details that I had forgotten about, but Yoleine and her team took care of it all. The ceremony and reception flowed so smoothly and my husband and I were able to enjoy the whole day because we knew we could trust Twelve Events. We had a perfect day, and it was all thanks to Twelve Events.

Every bride needs a Wilmarose!…read more I found Wilmarose through the wedding blogosphere. She styled a wedding at the same venue I was planning my wedding and I was smitten. We were hesitant to hire a coordinator but looking back it was the best decision we made. We hired Wilmarose for the month prior to our wedding. My only regret it not finding her earlier and hiring her day one of wedding planning. She is truly phenomenal. I showed her all my random pintrest pictures and she made it all work together in a fabulous cohesive theme. I love her style and found it very easy to trust her. I had no qualms about sending her to the florist for the final mockup when I had to work. We had just moved into a new home and our wedding budget for coordinators was tight however she graciously accepted what we had to offer. She even helped save us lots of money by negotiating with our venue over a miscommunication about the food and convincing us to do a consumption bar over open bar. She responds to emails/texts at lightening speed. I don't think this woman sleeps. The weekend of the wedding was stress-free thanks to Wilmarose and her team. They were so attentive I felt like royalty. She is extremely detail oriented and reviewed the multiple vendor contracts and several days prior to the wedding went back through the 50+ emails I sent her to make sure she didn't miss anything! So impressive! Wilmarose is super professional, organized (check out her color-coated timelines) and is honestly one of the sweetest ladies I know. She even drove 30+ miles through LA traffic to my house just to drop off the remaining decor from the wedding. There are many wedding coordinators out there but Wilmarose is the bee nees! In summary Every bride needs a Wilmarose!

Even though it has been seven months since our wedding day, our friends and family are still…read moretalking to us about the incredible experience that Wilmarose and her staff at Lovely Jubilee put together for everyone who participated. Wilmarose took our vision for our wedding day and turned it into an evening that went far beyond our expectations. From day one, Wilmarose understood that our wedding theme was more than just matching a color scheme. We wanted a relaxed, easy-going wedding that allowed our guests to mingle, explore and interact with the reception venue. Wilmarose took that concept and applied it to the floorspace at the Carondelet House in Downtown Los Angeles. She was consistent with our vision in every detail, from the schedule of events to the flower arrangements. Her understanding earned our trust right away and set us at ease. During the planning process, Wilmarose remained in constant contact with every vendor and kept everyone on the same coordinated schedule. Whenever a crisis arose, Wilmarose and her staff found a quick solution without unnecessary stress. She kept us well-informed during every step and we never felt like we were in the dark. Wilmarose's creativity and attention to detail delighted us and our guests. She designed and placed some interactive spaces throughout the venue, including arts & crafts tables, an M&M candy bar, and a photo booth. Despite all of the activity, Wilmarose created a brilliant layout that provided the perfect balance of foot traffic and nooks where guests could sit and relax. Her knack for logistics kept everything running smoothly. Last-minute adjustments were handled quickly and behind the scenes. She made sure that our caterers kept a constant stream of food and drinks flowing throughout the venue. Without ever losing sight of our vision, she had something for everyone in our eclectic crowd of wallflowers, foodies and dancers. Wilmarose understood that every guest had to walk away with the same feeling of joy, regardless of how they decided to experience the day. A perfect wedding day is a small miracle when you consider everything that has to go right. We have revisited our wedding several times in pictures, videos, and stories, and we wouldn't change a thing. We know how fortunate we are to say that. Wilmarose and her team at Lovely Jubilee deserve much of the credit for making our dream wedding a reality.

When my husband and I decided to get married, we went back and forth on whether we would need a…read morewedding planner. I am a type-A, project manager so we felt I could handle the whole thing. However, considering I run projects as my day job, we thought it would take a stress off my shoulders to hire someone to help us. We eventually decided on a 'day of' planner. We researched and asked around, and we ended up with a multitude of options. We requested for quotes and had phone interviews with the planners that were available for our day, but they were either too expensive or just not what we were looking for. Then Jessica, who was originally the planner for the venue we booked, let us know she was moving on to a different job at which point we had a light bulb idea. Jessica had been so great to work with as we were booking the venue. She was organized, responsive, and personable. So we approached her with the idea of being our 'day of' planner. She was professional; she made sure the venue was ok with this idea before committing to us, and she sent us her resume work alongside her website and rates to make sure we were comfortable moving forward with her. I am BEYOND happy with our decision. Jessica helped guide us through any pre-wedding dates and information to ensure our wedding day would go smoothly. When the day came, she took full control, and we were able to truly enjoy our day without any stress! As a planning professional, I can truly vouch how great Jessica is as a planner and would recommend her in a heartbeat! If I could give her more stars I would :)

She thinks outside of the box and comes up with unique caterers and completely fabulous venues. For example , at our Halloween party , we had a wall of donuts for dessert!!!

My friends are still talking about the party, almost four months later and I can honestly say that it was not just the best party I have ever thrown, I also felt like I got to be a guest at my own event.

With a background in events myself, I debated on hiring someone to assist with the day, but I can say now that it was definitely worth it.

Everything turned out great. I didn't have to worry about a thing the day of my wedding. I had all kinds of decor that she arranged beautifully and various vendors that she finalized communication with and coordinated throughout the day. She and her assistant were pleasant, organized and professional.
