We were so happy and loved every part of that beautiful moment. Mirna, thank you 1000 times!

Gabi was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. My husband and I worked with her…read moreto create a completely custom ceremony, and the end result was more meaningful and personal than we could have ever imagined. She has an incredible ability to take your story, your values, and your relationship and turn it into something that feels authentic and deeply moving... not generic or templated in any way. What really set her apart was how she coached our officiant (who is also a close friend). She made sure he felt confident, prepared, and able to deliver the ceremony in a way that felt natural and heartfelt. It made such a difference in the moment. Our ceremony ended up being one of the most special parts of the entire day, and we owe that to Gabi. If you're looking for something truly personal and beautifully crafted, she's it.

David married us this past weekend, and he did an absolutely phenomenal job! From the very…read morebeginning, he exceeded our expectations. He arrived early, was well-prepared, and was ready to begin our ceremony right on time. It was an extremely hot day, but you would have never known it. David remained professional, composed, and fully present throughout the ceremony. It was clear that Married by a Millennial took the time to carefully read the questionnaire we completed because they beautifully incorporated our story and answers into the ceremony script. The script was heartfelt, sentimental, and included just the right amount of humor, making our ceremony feel incredibly personal and memorable. Not only was David an amazing officiant, but we also invited him to stay and celebrate with us after the ceremony. We thought it was so wonderful that he took the time out of his day to join us during our reception. It truly showed how much he cares about the couples he works with. We highly recommend Married by a Millennial to any couple looking for an officiant. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to create such a meaningful ceremony are unmatched. You won't be disappointed with the exceptional service they provide!

When we first looked at planning our wedding we were overwhelmed. There were so many different…read moreelements to think about from flowers to table linens, dessert, music and more details. We didn't know where to start and to be honest neither of us really enjoy throwing parties or events so we didn't see how any of this could be fun. We figured we would look at hiring a wedding planner. Every Last Detail came highly recommended, so we decided to give her a call and at that moment everything changed and it was for the better. Patty comes with years of experience, and she knows a lot of great vendors and has so much knowledge when it comes to weddings. She was able to help us find our photographer, florist, DJ, and everything else we wanted to create our perfect day. She gave us options of different vendors in our budget that she knew were available on our wedding date, which helped save so much time. She kept us on track with the timeline, which helped reduce a lot of stress, as well as making sure we were on budget and enjoying the entire process along the way. She also offered advice when we asked for it but never made decisions for us and never gave her opinion on any decisions without us asking first. The day of our reception Patty and her assistant Carol made sure neither of us nor any of our family members had to lift a finger and took care of everything. They helped to make sure everything was set up from linens to flowers and the lighting as well and even packed up the gifts and all our belongings into the car at the end of the night making sure nothing was left behind. Their level of detail is impeccable. For example, they seamlessly snuck us away from our guests so we could have our grand entrance introducing us as a married couple for the first time. We had decided to join our cocktail hour and naturally neither of us ate a bite because we were so busy talking to guests as they arrived. Carol very nicely told us that her and Patty had set some food aside for us in the backroom. We were able to sit, eat and have a moment together. But we didn't realize they orchestrated this so we could magically appear when our names were announced for the first time as a married couple. Not only is Patty super detailed, a real expert party planner but she's also a joy to work with. She's professional while also being very down-to-earth and handles stressful events with ease and is easy to talk to. She advocates for her clients to make sure they have the best day and have things exactly as they planned. We really felt like hiring her was the best decision we made. We're extremely grateful to her and cannot recommend her enough!

I am so grateful that Patty was recommended to me, I have no idea what I would have done without her. If you have no experience planning a wedding, then Patty is a great option. She will go above and beyond. She helped me with EVERYTHING. We had so many phone calls about planning, venders, timelines, you name it. We got married at the Monterey Plaza Hotel and Spa, Patty got our marriage insurance (didn't know that was a thing) and every detail was done to my exact wishes; our rooms, a get-ready room, timeline. She helped me find and book my venders; makeup, hair, live music. She knew about the area restrictions and completely managed all my venders. She made the best timelines I have ever seen in my life, had everything to a tee with wiggle room in case things did not go according to plan (which they rarely do). She even helped my officiant (who was our best friend) with his ceremony timeline and speech. Patty took care of everything, even when I had vender drama, she took care of it without me having to deal with it at all. And she even ran to our room when our ring bearer forget our rings! Day of, Patty has her assistant Carol which is more than a bonus. Both Patty and Carol are adored by me and my family. Truly were like my own family, even helped me put my shoes on. There are no perfect words to describe how truly grateful I am for having them at my wedding. Best decision I have ever made. 10/10 would hire them again.

Jack truly personalized our ceremony and was very thorough and detail-oriented. He originally met with us over Zoom and had even taken the time to personalize our wedding ceremony ahead of time and went over it. We knew instantly we wanted to hire him! Jack was then available by text and email for any changes to the ceremony or updates about the wedding. Our guests loved that he did not do the "repeat after me" vows and simply stated them for us to say, almost as if we had memorized the vows! Jack is an open-minded and non-judgemental minister who wants your wedding ceremony to reflect your love and does offer bilingual and LGBTQ+ wedding ceremonies as well. Jack is so friendly and completely put us at ease on the day of the wedding. He was hilarious and rolled with the punches, especially when I tried grabbing the mic from him accidentally when saying my vows and then when my husband put my ring on the wrong finger! Jack was very accommodating especially with covid-19, we ended up having a vaccinated-only wedding ceremony and reception. Jack let us know he is fully vaccinated, had received his booster, and continuously gets covid tested every two weeks for the safety of his clients. He was willing to wear a mask as well for the ceremony should we have asked. I would highly recommend Jack for his friendliness and professionalism.
