PSA to all brides: HIRE A WEDDING PLANNER. When my husband and I got engaged, ALL the brides in my life told me to hire a wedding planner. The ones that didn't really regretted it, and the ones that did fully appreciated their planner. So, I took their advice and began my search. Before I thought about venues, or guest lists, I ventured to find a planner and I am SO THRILLED to have found Sherine! Sherine is caring, thoughtful, and filled with love for what she does. My wedding was a Chinese-Indian fusion wedding. On top of the intense traditions, I had to navigate the requests of my MIL and mom. Sherine helped me execute their requests while keeping the events grounded in my husband and my style. It still felt like OUR wedding even though there were a lot of demands placed on us by family. Here are some KEY contributions Sherine made to our experience: 1. She helped us visit and narrow down venues - We live in Texas so she met my in-laws at venues and toured with them. She did NOT need to do this, but to make the family a part of the process, she went above and beyond! 2. She helped us SAVE MONEY by introducing us to cost-effective vendors that were a big bang for our buck. Her vendors are amazing 3. She was a friend - checking in on us and keeping us updated on things. She isn't like other planners who charge for each call and visit beyond the contract. She will be there for you. 4. She took care of ALL THE LITTLE DETAILS like verifying insurance, making sure the contracts were correct, communicating information to the venue about the various vendors (this is A LOT OF WORK and she handled it all!). If you're a bride thinking, "I'm detail oriented, I can handle this on my own".... let me tell you the amount of emotion and stress that is put into a wedding - You'll want someone on your team taking this off your plate. But what I truly loved about Sherine is that she went above and beyond. For her it really isn't about the money. During the week before our wedding, my family hosted a Chinese dinner. Sherine was not paid to work the event, and I invited her to come to enjoy the dinner. She ended up showing up a day before to help me pin a backdrop (bringing materials for me to use), showing up early to the Chinese venue to help set up (her and her friend set up the entire space so my family didn't have to!). My mom asked her if she could do all this, Sherine took one look at me and saw the panic in my face and said, "Yes, I'll come help. I want this week to be perfect for you, so don't worry." (There isn't enough space in a post for me to even begin to express how amazing this gesture was!) The fact that she spent her precious time to come and help speaks to her passion for making her brides' lives easier. Sherine is wonderful; her team is wonderful! If you're a new bride looking for a wedding planner, meet her and see if her personality fits yours. I guarantee you'll have an experience with her that can't be matched by another planner because her work comes from her heart - not from a bottom-line. Thank you, Sherine, for making the year leading up to our wedding tolerable and for making the week of our wedding and our wedding day amazing. We are so glad to have met you! read more

Amazing experience with Zaza & Co! Sherine, the planner has been very helpful and professional. She is a super star for events. My husband and I were hired as a wedding photo team and we worked with Sherine on a wedding in DTLA. Sherine put together the timeline, decorated the venue and executed the whole event to make sure the whole wedding go smoothly. We as photographers highly appreciate her work and creativity that made our work much easier. If you are looking for a reliable wedding planner and coordinator, make sure your check this business first: Zaza & Co. Highly recommended!!! read more

I recently worked with Sherine, as a dj, on an upscale wedding. The venue was so beautifully decorated. One of the nicest weddings I've seen, and I've seen a lot. She did a great job coordinating with me before the wedding and through the night to make sure everything went as expected. She stays calm and collected, which is very important for a coordinator. I also liked that she was proactive and stayed on top of things. On top of all that, she was very nice to work and communicate with. I'm looking forward to the next time we work together. read more

After several interviews with other wedding planners, we decided to go with Sherine for our Dec. 10, 2017 wedding and it has been nothing short of amazing! Her design skills are top notch and were so impressed the first time we've seen both our venues. The best part about her is she is such a pleasure to work with and she's extremely generous of the time she spends with you. She even let us borrow a ton of her existing decor which helped our wedding look as great as we wanted it to be. Overall, we're really glad that we chose her and she's definitely worth her price! read more

We hired Sherine for partial planning nearly a year before the big day. I was hesitant about hiring a planner because I am well organized and good at planning myself but I am so glad I did. Sherine was a god send to us. She was beyond helpful the entire time. Every time we talked I had peace of mind and knew everything would be handled because I had her. She gave me such ease and made sure I had the best day of my life and took time to enjoy it. Her promptness and attention to detail are out of this world. I can't put into words how grateful I am because I truly believe that without her I wouldn't have enjoyed the wedding to the extent I did. Definitely recommend, she is one of a kind. read more

Two months before our wedding ceremony, we found Sherine to be our wedding planner. At that time we booked our wedding venue and photograhers, but we were clueless of the rest of preparation and felt frustrated and lost, until we had Sherine to help us out! My wife and I love the venue decoration! The flower decoration is gorgeous! And she helped us to decorate the backdrop and set up the dining table, they look beautiful. She helped us to find the professional DJ and MC who fulfilled our need, specifically she found an MC who can speak Mandarin, Cantonese and English fluently which was exactly what we were looking for. During the day of the event, she coordinated the whole rundown and made the wedding go smoothly. She coordinated with the MC, DJ, catering service group, venue coordinator, photographers and our pastor so that everyone was on the same page. The wedding was our dream wedding!! Thank you Sherine! I will strongly recommend Sherine to all our friends who are plannjng to get married soon! read more

Look no further "Zaza " is definitely the best in town. The quality of service Zaza & Co offers can not be matched with any other event planner. They're extremely professional, friendly, and fun. It has been an honor to work side by side with these guys. She will always be your top vendor ! read more

My husband and I hired Sherine Zaza as our day of wedding coordinator for 3/4/17. We had most of our planning and designing already done by the time we hired her (2 months before the big day), but she gave amazing suggestions that were so helpful! She became our point of contact for our 7 different vendors (which was a task in itself) for me to create a wedding timeline, get paperwork signed from them for our venue and relay any questions they had. She definitely eased our mindset that everything would go smoothly. The night before our wedding, Sherine called us down to our reception venue to show us a surprise she had been working on...her and one of her assistants had designed a rememberance table of all of our lost loved ones. My husband and I lost it...it was so beautifully designed with flowers, twinkling lights and a sign. I (the bride) had recently lost both of my parents, so seeing pictures of them right in the center, along with our other lost family members gave me a sense of peace. She will never know how important that was to us. I can't thank her enough. Like I said earlier, we didn't hire Sherine for her decorating services, but if this was just a small glimpse of what she can do...I would highly recommend her for decorating your next event too! On the day of our wedding she brought an assistant with her, Lauren, who was also very sweet and professional. Any question we had or last minute thought the morning of, they were on it! They even had little headsets to communicate between my two venues. I thought that was pretty cool. Everything went so smoothly, I honestly can't even think of anything we would've wanted differently. What I think we loved most about Sherine was that she went above and beyond her duties. After the wedding, while we were on our honeymoon out of the country, Sherine had contacted us to let us know of all of the loose ends she had tied up with our venue and vendors. I guess things were missing, forgotten, needed to be returned ASAP, etc. and she took care of everything so we wouldn't be bothered on our honeymoon. We knew nothing about all of this until we were told everything was taken care of. This definitely shows what a good person she is both personally and professionally. We would definitely recommend using Sherine as your wedding planner/decorator/day-of-coordinator! read more

A few years back, Sherine Zaza and her team put together my baby shower. I always wanted a baby shower with high fashion and quality decor. Most baby showers I go to have cheap look and decor that really is tasteless. Let me tell you, she put together a hand sewed baby carriage that was diamond incrusted. Then she designed flowers for the inside of the carriage. It was a very unique and amazing idea she hand made for my shower. The gifts were also customized and it was a sight. The seating chart and organization she has made everything flow. She developed a timeline and had amazing game ideas that really made the day! I've never been to a shower like the one she put together. You can't go wrong with her team. If you are looking for a company that has heart and really have talent chose them. Quality is everything! Thank you Sherine!!!!! read more

Absolute Beautiful work. Very creative. Very attentive. Extremely detailed. Right on point. Very sweet.

I just got married a week ago and Sherine made it all perfect. Sherine worked with me and my fiancee for about 8 weeks before our weeding. Our wedding consisted of 125 guests and was very grand. She made it all an absolute breeze. I coudn't have had the time I had without her at my wedding. Wedding planning is a full time job, and Sherine kept us on track with things I should be aware of as well as things I might want to reconsider. She made crunch time very easy and seamless. Sherine was available for us for over 2 months leading up to the wedding, whenever we asked her to be. She was very responsive on email, and even faster on the phone. On the day of wedding Sherine was very attentive, kind and most importantly she understood the event and what we wanted out of it. There was never a time where we felt like she didn't get it, or that we had something to worry about. About a month before the wedding Sherine asked for each vendor and representative that she could contract. She made sure everyone was on the same page.VERY HELPFUL! She was really aware of so many details and had great questions I wouldn't even think of to ask. Closer to the wedding she sent out a timeline to everyone and made sure all the vendors were within their time limits. On the day of the wedding I didn't worry about anything... Where everyone is, what the place looks like and who needs to be where at what time. All our vendors were prompt and knew Sherine if they had any questions. My fiancee was very picky about flowers, decorations, tables and chairs and how the wedding would look like. Everything on our wedding ran on time, the ceremony, cocktail hour, salads and food were served on time so all our family and wedding party enjoyed the day without one worry. Wedding day was the best day of my life and if you want someone who knows it all Sherine is the right person, I highly recommend Sherine and Zaza and Co :) read more

Sherine was both our planner and florist for the big day, and we can't put into words how helpful she has been. She created such a beautiful, unique setting in a short period of time, and was so caring and supportive all along! read more
