Thank goodness we didn't and had the awesome chance to work with Ann of Ann J Kim! Leading up to the wedding, she was thoroughly helpful AND very talented as well-- she designed and created my bouquet, made the bridesmaid bouquet (which my husband designed! :)), made the boutineers, as well as designing the flower arrangement on our sweetheart table! And that was a very last minute situation because my husband and my original ideas for those out of season flowers were not going to work once we visited the Flower market in downtown LA with her. Not only was she amazing with the flowers, she was completely professional and thoroughly invested in making sure my wedding went without a hitch. The day of the wedding, I was stress free (but tired from the late night and last minute items... which Ann stayed til the very end to work with us on). She did a wonderful job making sure the flow of the ceremony and reception was smooth. The most impressive part was how she handled the very last minute (day of) changes for our ceremony setup! Her thoughtfulness in how I would feel as a bride walking down an actual aisle was taken into consideration as she collaborated with the onsite day of coordinator for our venue. Super professional and very flexible!! Her warm demeanor and constant smiling also eased my stress as we were planning the last details. Those things about her also, calmed my nerves the day of our wedding and made me feel like everything was in complete control. Any bride who is getting married, no matter what stage the planning is in, needs to hire Ann for their wedding planing! The only reason for not wanting to is if the bride actually likes to be stressed out!

Working with Mira at Event Bar has been one of the most meaningful parts of my journey. From the…read morevery start of my business, she's been there -- supporting, encouraging, and opening up the world of events to me in a way only she can. There is truly no one else like Mira in this community. Her imagination and talent are unmatched, her visions are pure magic, and she has an incredible ability to bring ideas to life -- beautifully and flawlessly. As a vendor, I deeply value her attention to detail and commitment to quality. It's been an honor to collaborate with her over the last few years on some of her most amazing events and projects. Mira's creativity knows no bounds, and I'm so grateful to be part of her world.

Katie is THE ONE. Hire her. She balances professionalism, lightning fast response time, and…read morelistening to what my partner and I actually wanted for our wedding (which was, at times, unique). She will do what it takes to execute your vision, advocate for you as a client, and make sure you are able to relax into the day. We fired the first planner we hired after working with them for a year (planning for us was 18 months in). All the issues we had with the first planner: showed up to meetings unprepared, rescheduled meetings multiple times, and (most damning) they kept trying to nickel and diming us by adding more and more assistants to manage the day of the wedding. NONE OF THAT WITH KATIE. We brought her on 6 months before our wedding and the change in vibe was massive. She is efficient AND a straight-shooter. Just a g.d. delight to be around and gets. it. done. Both her vibe and decade of experience planning weddings meant I could trust her opinions and that she would accomplish everything we dreamed. And she did. I could write a novel about how great she is. She is worth her salt. Hire her.

If you're anything like me you're organized and think you can organize this as well. You don't need to. Let Diana take you through the details and make sure you have the details done.

Having Susie by your side makes you feel like you are a guest at your own wedding, and that's exactly how it should be Vision, sweet, tough when she needs to be, brutally honest, and VERY supportive!

I can't say enough about Joie de Vivre; it was an amazing experience and better than we imagined it…read morecould be! My partner and I were looking to have a small ceremony to be wed in the Los Angeles area. Our plans were originally to get married in March, but with the unfortunate chaos of the Covid pandemic, our plans were delayed. After things settled a bit, we found Joie de Vivre, and questioned if they could make our wedding plans come true - and they delivered in a big way! While we knew things would be a bit difficult to orchestrate, due to the ever-changing situation related to the pandemic, Jennifer made everything seamless, was extremely accommodating and over delivered on everything that was promised. In our wildest dreams, we would have never expected such a beautiful ceremony. It was beautiful, romantic, and intimate. Every detail was taken care of and all we had to do was show up! Everyone was extremely friendly, walked us through the whole process, and gave us the perfect day. We can't say enough about Joie de Vivre, and my wife and I can't be happier; we highly recommend Joie de Vivre!

I would give her 100 stars if Yelp offered the option. Jennifer is resourceful, efficient,…read morecreative, professional, diplomatic, gracious, kind and an ideal collaborative partner to produce your perfect wedding. She has a full roster of her own contractor relationships and all of them are top-notch, but she gladly worked with the contractors we chose independently. Jennifer helped us oversee the whole planning project timeline with regular updates. My husband and I have large, lovely, opinionated families and she took "input" from all sides, literally day and night for a couple of months prior to the big day. She never lost her cool. Instead, validated everyone's suggestions and helped us incorporate them as appropriate. Then she literally broke the two days before our wedding and game day itself down to the minute so everyone knew who will be where and when. Somehow, she manages to be in all of those places at the same time to oversee everything's completion. At our wedding, we could not see her running sneakers under her black tie gown, but she put them to use. We adore Jennifer and strongly recommend her. Thank you!

She came to all of my appointments with me and even sometimes without me, since I was so busy at work. She is extremely organized which makes everything easy and smooth, she is calm, cool and collected and if there are any problems at the wedding, I had no idea because she would just take care of it. When it comes to the design and look of your event, you just tell her your vision and she already knows how to bring that to life. Every single detail was taken care of, even the ones I knew nobody would even notice was perfectly arranged. I highly recommend Mod About Events to plan any of your future events!

They immediately started asking questions and making recommendations. They were great with communicating every detail and ensuring me everything was taken care. What I appreciated most was their ability to advocate for me when meeting with vendors to convey my thoughts and ideas. Also, just knowing I had their support and expertise on my side was worth every penny. Come the day of the wedding, me and my family were able to actually enjoy every minute and not worry about any of the details- and of course everything was perfect! There were even little details that I hadn't thought of that they had taken care of. I'm very grateful and appreciate all the hard work & love you put into your work, thank you!

She recommended amazing vendors who will all be getting 5 star reviews from us too (check out Meredith from Zoom Theory if you need an amazing event photographer in the Los Angeles area -- so grateful to Helen for helping us find her!). 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.

Helen is responsive to emails and phone calls from beginning to end. She has her own staff and a top notch assistant, Chad. We combed through quite a few other planners and ultimately decided on Helen and Eighteen Place Cards. We too read the reviews and were not too sure how legitimate all of the 5 star ratings were, so we really gave Helen the 3rd degree, 10 months before the wedding date. Specifics: Helen checked in with us regarding every single detail from the venue [The Noor], ALL of our vendors, and remained on top of it all every step of the way. She was constantly going the extra mile at every turn and never once did she drop the ball, or fail at any of the tasks! We were demanding and we put a lot on her shoulders, but she proved to us she knew her job and performed extremely well. Helen and her team always responded with a 'can do attitude', while maintaining a professional demeanor. To say that we are grateful to have done business with Helen, would be a complete understatement. She and Chad are dedicated to getting the job done, no matter what. Everything came together perfectly as a result of her planning, execution and commitment. My daughter's wedding day was a total success because of Helen, Eighteen Place Cards, Chad and the rest of her staff. The proof is in the pudding. All of our guests commented on how nice everything was and how much fun they had. I know for a fact this was a direct result of Helen's passion and dedication to her profession. To sum it all up, I will most definitely utilize Helen for future events. She is worth every dollar we spent, and more. My entire family thanks you very kindly Helen. Respectfully, Ralph G.

I have multiple friends who have had Sharon as their event planner and those friends would continuously talk about how amazing Sharon is (even after all these years) I am the world's pickiest person in EVERYTHING.

It takes a lot for me to be impressed and I was blown out of the waters by her work. She took care of everything and didn't allow me to lift a finger.
