I chose Joyfully in the beginning because of the details you can see they put together in their event posts and I really was grateful I experienced that at my wedding! Sharon(one of the senior planners) and her team really gave me comfort and laughter from the very beginning of the whole process. She made sure that everything was on time and under control with sooo much detail! I was surprised that there was a lot more to a wedding than i thought but she really didn't miss a thing! I was also having so many doubts on how things will work and how the designs will look out but Sharon really showed her experience stand out in those moments and I was so relieved and thankful that she took all of my craziness into joyful-ness until the very end. I loved how she also made jokes and fun moments so that I can feel more relaxed and I could definitely see she loves her job! And that part was extremely important to me as someone who loves seeing people cherishing moments with us on our special day and not just a hired vendor:) Love the team and would definitely contact them again for future events!!

Kimberly’s Ever After Planning

5.0

Anaheim, CA
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $2,500

My name is Kimberly and I’m a Disneyland bride. After almost a three year wedding postponement, I finally had my big day. I realized there were many moments during my wedding day, I wished I could have “cloned” myself. There were so many little things that needed my attention and being the bride, I wasn’t able to attend to them. I had to have either a bridesmaid or my mother handle it, which wasn’t ideal. I wanted everyone in the moment and enjoying the day with me. That’s the moment I realized I needed to prevent moments like this from happening to other wedding couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are looking for a wedding coordinator, stop looking and hire Kimberly! There are not enough descriptive words that emulate how fabulous she is. What set Kimberly apart from the rest of the coordinators I talked to was her positive energy. Her vibrant personality radiated during our phone call & I knew she would be a much needed addition to my wedding day. Kimberly was meticulous in her planning & was a great comfort to have on my wedding day. The event could not have gone better, all thanks to Kimberly & her assistant, who worked seamlessly in the background to ensure everything went according to plan!

One of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding was hiring Erin as our planner! Throughout the year of planning I could feel her love, dedication & excitement for our special day. Her warm emails instantly put a smile on my face & our monthly calls were always my favorite. She is incredibly organized, has great aesthetics and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to weddings, marriage and trusting the process. Erin has a heart of gold and she quickly went from planner, to my wedding bestie and our very special wedding officiant. We felt so incredibly honored that she took on that role on top of everything else (that's who she is, she goes above and beyond for her couples), the ceremony was so beautiful and I still get teary eyed thinking about it all. She told our love story perfectly! My husband and I still can't believe we had the wedding of our dreams, it was the BEST DAY of our lives. Every single detail was on point, we had nothing to worry about - everything was handled smoothly by the EmbraceU team! So many wedding guests commented on how lovely & sweet Erin and her team were, they treated everyone with so much kindness. As a bride, I felt so lucky to have found her!

Blissfully Styled Events

5.0

Placentia, CA
  • Offers 2 services
  • Starts at $4,500

Karen Sieger founded Blissfully Styled Events with one simple goal: to provide a planning process couples could actually enjoy. As the go-to event enthusiast any time her friends were planning a celebration, she’d long dreamt of planning parties professionally, but it wasn’t until 2016—when a vendor at her sister’s wedding was surprised to hear Karen wasn’t actually a professional wedding planner—that she decided to leave behind a 20-year career as a real estate executive and make the leap she’d long contemplated.

Karen and her team have gone above and beyond to help coordinate our wedding back in April and we are still dreaming of that wonderful day! I was originally in the planning process with another coordinator who had a job switch during this process and thus I was referred to Karen. Right off the bat Karen was super on top of everything, and so kind and patient, also just fun to work with. We hit it off with her right away – she was super responsive and knowledgeable. On our wedding day and rehearsal as well she kept the whole crew on top of everything, and everything ran on time and seamlessly. I remember she came over to us during dinner reception and reminded us to take a moment to take it all in with each other – I now realized how important that was as I am still dreaming of that day and reliving all the moments in my mind. At the end of the evening – everything got packed neatly away into our cars so all we had to do was drive back. It was so amazing to work with her we cannot thank her and her team enough for their efforts to make our special day the best ever.

People danced, laughed, cooked, played music and forgot their troubles. I always marveled over it, how a party could be so magical.

We had a wonderful experience with Tavi planning our wedding and would highly recommend her for any event you are considering! She was professional, knowledgeable and most importantly, organized. She guided us through every step of the planning process and we always felt she had everything under control. She was quick to problem solve and always came with options and recommendations while being mindful of our preferences and budget. Her experience shows through her amazing style and vision (two things my husband and I, candidly, lack) and her attention to detail was highly appreciated and noticed on our big day. We were grateful for her familiarity with vendors; she handled all of the legwork and negotiation with vendors and even negotiated discounts when we really wanted a certain vendor but they were outside of our budget. She helped us decide what items were worth the extra spend and where we could cut back, which was incredibly helpful. On the day of, she came with printed timelines and ensured the venue’s coordinator had everything they needed to ensure our wedding day went smoothly. Our wedding was perfect and that success was 100% attributable to Tavi’s expert handling and planning!

During college I got the chance to do a semester abroad in San Diego, and met this really special, handsome, American guy... You see it coming? YES! After 3 years of long distance relationship, I finally married the love of my life. A little bit about The Perfect Pair Wedding... it is a San Diego based Wedding planning company, we plan & design weddings all over Southern California to bring to life our Perfect Pair's dreams.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I got married at the Scripps Forum, and everything was absolutely perfect and beyond everything we ever dreamt of!!!  To be honest, we were hesitant to hire a wedding planner at first (thinking I could do it myself… yeah right…). We had no idea how much work goes into planning a wedding, and we weren't sure if it was worth the investment. But after meeting with Clemence, we knew that we had made the right decision. She was an absolute joy to work with and really cared about our vision. From the first meeting to the day of the wedding, she was there for us every step of the way. She listened to our ideas, offered suggestions based on her professional experience, and made sure that every detail was taken care of (she literally thinks of EVERYTHING.) One thing that was weighing heavily on our minds in the lead-up to the wedding was the potential for rain. We had planned an outdoor ceremony and cocktail, and the thought of bad weather ruining everything was causing me a great deal of stress. But thankfully, we had hired Clemence!!!! She was there to reassure me and had the perfect Plan B in case of rain so we could still have and enjoy the beautiful view of La Jolla for our ceremony. She had clearly thought through every possible scenario and had contingency plans in place for every situation.  On the day of the wedding, the weather was luckily beautiful and sunny, and everything went off without a hitch. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful, the reception was a blast, and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had! Clemence and her team (Lucie & Grant) made sure that everything was perfect, and we couldn't have asked for anything more. To anyone who is considering hiring a wedding planner, I cannot recommend The Perfect Pair Wedding enough. You will thank yourself for making that decision I promise!! Clemence, Lucie, and Grant are the absolute best, and we feel so grateful to have had them on our team for our day! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This is one occasion that you deserve to be completely focused on what’s important – having fun and relaxing with friends, family and getting married to your amazing person. On your big day, we handle anything unexpected and troubleshoot last minute emergencies behind the scenes, so that you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Awarded Best of Zola
In beginning our wedding planning, we interviewed a few Day-of Coordinators, however, our conversation with Trang left us feeling most comfortable and confident in her expertise. In our initial consultation, we were able to get a really good glimpse of her passion and energy from the start. We were so comfortable in our conversation, that it felt like we’ve known her for years. We connected most with her services that we even opted instead for her Partial Wedding package, a service that proved to be immensely helpful and insightful, 6 months before our wedding. Trang just brings so much professionalism to her work. She’s constantly on top of our clients’ messages and shares important memos with us the moment they arise. She walks through wedding agendas with such grace and always has answers to our numerous questions and ideas. Even when we get a little too ambitious, Trang gladly helped us figure out ways to make it work. She was such a good listener and paid careful attention to every detail. We both felt that every minute with Trang was valued and well-spent. She has an innate ability to click and collaborate with her clients, not just as a coordinator, but as a friend, which felt so unique to us when it came to looking for coordinators. Her demeanor was so comforting, empathetic, and supportive, and she managed to maintain confidence and ease in our ideas. Trang took the time to really understand what we envisioned. Her experience in her profession was very apparent as she provided numerous insights to support us through our journey. Trang cares about the people she works with and it shows in every interaction. On the day of our wedding, a few challenges out of our control occurred; however, Trang made sure the event ran smoothly and without a hitch. We would’ve never known because of her quick actions and responses to any interruptions. Trang took very careful note of things that occurred throughout the evening and kept our best intentions in mind, even saving us money post wedding! She could’ve easily walked away post-event without informing us of such details and events, but the fact she did says a lot about her character and professionalism. All in all, please hire Trang as your wedding coordinator! She completely eased our minds through the 6 months of wedding planning and conducts so much behind the scenes to ensure that we fully celebrate our wedding with our guests without a hitch. On top of all this, we feel like we’ve really gained a nice relationship with Trang through this process, which made the wedding planning feel like working with a friend. Honestly, what more can you ask for. :) Thank you Trang, from the bottom of our hearts! 3

If you’re undecided about hiring a wedding planner, DO IT. If you don’t know if you need one, that means YOU DO. Furthermore, I highly recommend you book Christina with Ingobgo events. I met her at the Los Angeles Wedding Expo on Sept 24th, 2023. She was the only planner I spoke to at the expo that really took time to explain what a wedding process is like. I know that might sound silly but I felt pretty clueless and the extra energy she gave was very appreciated. At these expos there are hundreds of people filtering through and I felt like she was really passionate about her craft. In less than 2 weeks my then fiancé and I met with her in person and happily signed our contract with 134 days until it was time to say “I do.” Reasons why I loved working with her on my wedding: - She made decisions when I didn’t want to. I never grew up envisioning a wedding so I was pretty clueless for well, most things. I didn’t have a vision for flowers for instance. She crafted a proposal for my flower vision based on elements like favorite color, bridesmaid dresses etc. She literally would put things together and “say tell me if you love it, hate it, or any other feelings you have.” This helped me feel more comfortable to be authentic and honest along the wedding journey. - She negotiated rates for things I wouldn’t have fathomed as negotiable - She gave honest feedback to vendors and had tough conversations I didn’t have the energy for - She joined planning calls we had with our vendors (videographer/DJ) and managed vendor calls that weren’t necessary for us to be on (flowers, furniture) - She met with us in person more times than we anticipated which was great given that we were planning a wedding in 4 months. Meeting in person often isn’t necessary but when you’re moving quickly in a short period of time sometimes the humanizing measures really make the biggest difference like they did here. - She kept us on track with budget and payments. - She uses an app for organizing, designing and tracking your wedding. If you love google docs then you’ll love this process. I’m more of an excel gal and don’t use apps too often but I definitely appreciated the organization of the this! - She has a day of assistant Katie who was funny, and extremely helpful to all members of the wedding party. By the end of the 4 months my partner and I would commonly refer to Christina as our “wedding mom.” I feel sad that the wedding journey has come to an end but I am so happy with how everything transpired. My husband and I had an amazing time, and thanks to Christina we felt our evening was flawless (even though I forgot to bring my husbands bow tie so she had her assistant go get us one at the last hour!) I could keep going but I know this kudos is super long already. My final comment is that no one should have to go thru this process without a “wedding mom.” We will forever be grateful to Christina and all the support and TLC she gave us for our special day.

Kiss and Say I Do Events is an incredible business operated by a team of consummate professionals who provide a refreshing level of care and detail in all their efforts and interactions. While most of our interactions were with Karla, the owner of the business, we wanted to take a moment to highlight the rest of her team and thank them for the wonderful job they did. Each member of her team that we came across was a delight to interact with and contributed towards giving us the most wonderful wedding we could have hoped for. As for Karla herself, what is there to say? She is simply outstanding. Going far beyond what we would have expected of any planner, Karla deftly walked the fine line between being a service provider and becoming a dear friend. There is such sincerity in all her interactions that her desire to give her clients the best event she possibly can becomes undeniable. If you are looking for a recommendation, there is no one we can imagine doing a better job at navigating the intricacies of planning a wedding than Karla and the Kiss and Say I Do team. When we first hired Karla, we were just looking for a solid planner because we were planning our wedding from out of the country. By the end, we were so happy that she was able to witness our wedding because we genuinely wanted her there just as much as any guest. She didn’t just manage contracts and vendors; she offered support to us during family drama and various stressors that developed during our planning period. We bonded over similar heritages and life experiences, we laughed over my now-husband’s dumb jokes, and we all sighed together over planning headaches we couldn’t avoid. Even though she became so much more than just a wedding planner, she remained an absolute rockstar on the day of our wedding. We had so many guests come up to us and tell us we had a perfect wedding or that it was the best wedding they’d ever been to, but the highest praise we can give is that we didn’t feel an ounce of stress on our wedding day. If anything went wrong or not according to plan, we had no idea and never felt it. All we had on our day was love and joy, and we are so grateful that Karla and her team were able to create that for us.

I have been officially working as a professional wedding planner since 2017. My love of all things weddings and events began at an early age. I worked at a country club in the summers before my freshman and sophomore year of college, I worked on the food and beverage staff which included being a banquet server, and can you guess which was my favorite shift to work, you guessed it, the weddings. Once I got to the point in my life where my friends were starting to get engaged and I was a bridesmaid in their weddings, I found myself taking on extra duties and wanting to be more involved that it hit me, I need to pursue being an event planner.

Julia had great communication with our team from initial inquiry to after the wedding. She was so on top of her game, which is so appreciated as a vendor. We never felt like we were constantly reaching out to her for information, she was typically ahead of our questions. Our team set up a champagne tower, which required specific planning of certain elements to create the vision the couple was looking for. One element had a specific timeframe that we had to work within and Julia made that so easy to work into the timeline. We're really looking forward to having the opportunity to work with her again!

Awarded Best of Zola
My wedding day was easily the best day of my life, and Lucky Day played such an important role in making that happen! One of our goals for the day was to ensure we had all of the help we needed so that my husband and I could enjoy the whole day and not stress about vendors and venue set-up/tear-down. Leading up to the event, we had regular monthly email check-ins and there was plenty of documentation for checklists, decor, recommended vendors, and even a tipping guide. Chelsea is also very responsive and she is willing to tag up if there are any questions or if there is anything you want her to review. Any issues that came up on our wedding day, I knew little about just because Chelsea is such a great problem solver and understood how important it was for my husband and I to savor the day! Chelsea went above and beyond to bring our vision to fruition. She is honest, genuine, and caring towards both clients and vendors. If I ever had the chance to work with Chelsea again, I would seize it in a heartbeat. Perhaps a bow renewal? The bottom line is, it was worth every single penny we spent to have Chelsea on our team!

From the outset, she demonstrated a genuine commitment to ensuring every detail of our elopement was perfect. Belinda guided us through the selection of various vendors, including hair and makeup artists, photographers, and videographers, and the like. Her recommendations were spot-on, and it was evident that she had a keen understanding of our vision for the day. She meticulously assisted in planning our travel arrangements and crafted a detailed day-of itinerary that exceeded our expectations. One of the standout qualities of Belinda is her exceptional organizational skills. Every aspect of the planning process was handled with precision, and she communicated with clarity and enthusiasm. Her responsiveness to our questions, no matter how small, demonstrated her dedication to providing exceptional service. Despite not being physically present during our elopement, Belinda ensured that we were well-equipped with comprehensive guides. These guides proved to be invaluable, making our special day stress-free and allowing us to fully enjoy the moment. We are truly grateful for Belinda's expertise and support throughout our elopement journey. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine enthusiasm made our destination wedding in Pioneertown, California an unforgettable experience.

My wedding day was near perfect and it’s all because of Britney. When we ran behind, she got everything back on track. If I was concerned, she had a solution. And all night she made sure I did not stand in mud. My grandma said she constantly saw Britney running around taking care of things and I had no idea. I would highly recommend 10/10!

Congratulations! You’ve just found the best coordinator ever! My husband and I knew we wanted a “day of coordinator” (so we thought it was called) but did not know exactly how much to prioritize or what to ask for. And then we pretty much stumbled upon Emily after posting in a local facebook group about needing a coordinator and we are so grateful we did. We’ve actually joked to one another that our only wedding regret is not having hired Emily to plan the whole thing. Emily is professional, personable, and an incredible problem-solver. Emily does coordination, which means she actually jumps on board a couple months in advance to get you organized and get all of the vendors together. However, it would be a mistake to say she only gets involved at that point—from the moment we chose Emily, she checked in consistently, asked how she could help, and gave us leads as we navigated picking vendors. When we hit the 8 week mark before the wedding, Emily began initiating more meetings and gathering all of the information she needed. We did a venue walk through and a meeting dedicated to decor. This is all to say—Emily has got your back. Additionally, she is always working behind the scenes to make sure everyone is on the same page. Leading up to the wedding, we had been very organized, but of course, in the week or so before the wedding, it felt like total chaos. We added people to our hair/makeup schedule. We had to add a last-minute vendor that totally changed the flow of our set-up. Suddenly three days before the wedding, the forecast called for rain. Emily took this all in stride. She reassured us that our feelings about anything were valid and then promised she would figure out whatever we wanted to have happen. She always had multiple solution-options for every moment of chaos we felt. And then once we had decided what we wanted, she made it happen! On the day of the wedding, I was completely worry-free because I knew Emily had everything under control. Apparently a few things went wrong that neither my husband nor I knew about until later because Emily just handled it (she did check in about one thing that had been important to us, but when she asked about it, she came with multiple solution options for me to pick from). She also goes above and beyond to make anything right if there is a need to do so (all wedding have things go wrong!). All-in-all, you want a coordinator who is on top of things, but you also want one that you want to spend your day with and Emily strikes that balance perfectly. We were actually sad when our wedding ended and we realized we wouldn’t be chatting with her as regularly!

They helped my husband and I articulate what we wanted, found vendors to achieve that goal, and executed the big day flawlessly. Whenever I felt overwhelmed, I reached out and got help. Whenever I questioned my colorful ideas, they provided reassurance and suggestions to enhance the design. Whenever I needed to just squeal with excitement, these two were ready to celebrate.

We loved working with Rachel at San Diego Life Events. She was one of our favorite vendors for our wedding. We almost didn't hire a Coordinator. I thought we could do it without one but I was was definitely wrong. I got so stressed out and Rachel saved the day. We did a custom month of package and I honestly wished we hired her sooner like at the beginning. The moment I hired her I felt so much of that stress melting away. I worry a lot but she was always reassuring me and making sure I was good. On my wedding day she was calm. She was everywhere, I don't know how. My guests really liked her so did my parents who are hard to please. You can tell she is experienced and she is a lot of fun which was good for my anxiety. I've heard horror stories from friends about their coordinators and can't help but feel so lucky we found Rachel.

Jessica is one of the most impressive people I've ever worked with, whether it be in my profession or through wedding planning. She was so supportive in translating our ideas to our vendors, giving us thorough guidelines and to-do lists, and pushing back on any unreasonable requests or incompetent service from vendors. We were able to turn to her for anything - from whether our table linens looked good with our napkins to vendor gratuity rates - and she would often offer further support for our original ask, taking initiative to go above and beyond. Throughout the wedding process, I found many vendors and services to be overpriced and overrated, but Jessica and her team were a clear exception.
