I started in the wedding industry when I found bridal world in 2018. Building a career in bridal brought me back to Los Angeles from Seattle, back to family and into a world where I could immerse myself in all things bridal and weddings. I worked my way up as a stylist to the couture level, managing one of the flagship stores in LA and specializing in custom, one of a kind designs as a stylist. I learned more and more about weddings, and one day started day-of coordinating for friends and family. That grew to a passion and led to the birth of Serenity Weddings.

We just love working with Desiree! She is the most patient, extremely communicative, flexible and the most organized wedding planner! Every time we work with her, everything runs smooth and she is always so helpful! If you are looking to have a stress free wedding planning, Des is your girl!

Mindy & Co. Events 

5.0

  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Lakewood, CA

Mindy started her journey many many years ago when she worked as an assistant for Tracy and David Murdock. Her time spent with the Murdock family taught her so much about how to be successful, how to treat people, and how to anticipate the needs and wants of others. She traveled the world meeting people from other cultures and backgrounds. Spending time with two such extraordinary role models was the Catullus she needed to become the person she is today and gave her the confidence she needed to start her own business.

Mindy and Teri are hands down the very best wedding planners ever. I hired them as "day of coordinators" but they helped me the whole year I was planning the big day. They helped me find vendors for Calamigos Ranch (Oak Room) and told me things I that I did not even know I had to do. They went above and beyond what I expected, even helping me get dressed since I had no bridesmaids and making sure I ate food. I already recommended them to two other friends who got engaged this year.

I have nothing but positive things to say about Tavi. From her professionalism, to being detail oriented, to her other vendor recommendations she was always spot on. As a type A bride, I wanted to work with someone I could depend on and Tavi far exceeded my expectations. Tavi not only coordinated my wedding, but handled the design element and brought my vision to life. I had very specific (and difficult) pictures I wanted and she helped coordinate with photography and her assistant to ensure they happened. I went into my wedding day knowing that Tavi would take care of everything and I got to be fully present and not worry about anything.

I had a backyard wedding on 9/23/23 and let me say that having a backyard wedding for 150 people is not for the faint of heart! But from the moment we hired Dream Co. things got easier. Carrie was so helpful and responsive every step of the way and it was a HUGE relief when she started coordinating and communicating with vendors directly (which was my least favorite part). On the wedding day, several things didn't go according to plan (which always happens) and Carrie and her assistant Deanna handled it seamlessly. I heard from so many people that it was the best wedding they had ever attended and I owe so much of that to Carrie and Deanna. We also had the pleasure of working with Natasha for decoration and her eye for detail was beyond words. She took piles of supplies and decor and turned the backyard into a 5-star venue. I can't recommend this company enough. They actually made my wedding day a day I could enjoy and cherish.

We are high end Wedding professionals who value curating one of kind event experiences that reflect our couples love. InGobo Events' home base is in Southern California and our connections reach all over the nation and abroad.

I met Christina at a Bridal Expo and was amazed with the offered Day Of Coordination package. I was able to easily communicate my priorities on the special day and even share my wedding pet peeves to avoid. Christina was excellent at brainstorming ideas and suggested plenty of ways to approach a situation. When we worked on building the timeline together, she was very thorough and insightful. I sent her so many timeline revisions (as timing means EVERYTHING and it definitely matters), but Christina took them and made it look seamless. On the wedding day, Christina and her team (thank you Heather and Leanna!) made sure we were happy and stress-free. Our morning started with Heather running the errands of the busy morning and was the go-to person for myself and the wedding entourage. Heather was also able to help us create a floral bouquet we used for our ceremony offering. It turned out so beautiful! She did a terrific job. I was always reminded to take a bite of food and to stay hydrated while we were getting ready. Christina helped us execute the ribbon wand exit after our church ceremony. It turned out to be one of the highlights of the day. Everyone had so much fun doing it. As for the reception, Ingobo was able to help set the table decorations- centerpieces, candles, name cards, order of guests, etc. Leanna was at our side making sure we were well-fed and no one pulled us away from the sweetheart table. She was able to give us reminders of the timeline and was very sweet. Overall, Christina and her team orchestrated our wedding day perfectly. We received many compliments from our guests stating they noticed how smooth the day went. Ingobo's Day of Coordination services made a huge impact on how we were able to enjoy our special day. My husband and I are truly grateful for hiring them as part of our wedding team.

Grand Entrance Affairs 

5.0

  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Lakewood, CA

Grand Entrance Affairs is a wedding-planning business located in Los Angeles, CA. Owner and lead planner, Ingrid, has 13+ years of industry experience and connections and a great passion for helping people celebrate their cherished milestone moments. She is a big "people person" and thrives on the excitement and energy that comes with planning weddings and other special events. Ingrid’s ultimate goal for each client is to create an event they can be fully present to enjoy with their nearest and dearest. From the initial design to the day-of delivery, she and her team are dedicated to creating the wedding of your dreams—piece by piece.

I was almost not going to choose Ingrid as a wedding coordinator and that would have been one of my biggest regrets as a bride for my wedding. I actually had already put a small deposit down for another wedding coordinator, but once I met Ingrid, she stole my heart. She was my calm to my storm, my ying to my yang, my Robin to my Batman…etc Ingrid is not only an amazing wedding coordinator, but she is also an amazing wedding officiant. She took our love story and crazy ceremony ideas (such as taking a shot with us along with our guests before we sealed the deal or taping our ring box underneath one of the chairs for a surprise ring bearer) and created the ceremony of our dreams. To hear from multiple guests that it was the best ceremony they attended was the best compliment we could receive because the ceremony is the most important part of a wedding. It was my favorite part of my wedding. Then she can amazingly switch gears from officiant to wedding coordinator and rock that too. She can do it all (literally). I always have other couples tell us that their wedding day goes by very fast and they didn’t really get to enjoy all the little things. However, my husband and I felt like our special day did not go by so fast and we most definitely got to enjoy the little things mainly because Ingrid took care of everything behind the scenes that no one sees. She created an amazing timeline for us, took charge of our vendors, made sure we were right on schedule with everything, was super communicative along the way… the list goes on and on. She is everything you would want in a wedding coordinator. I am very sad I won’t get to work with her anymore unless I get married again lol, but I would recommend her to anyone I know and hopefully get to see her in action again.

I have worked in event planning for a few years now. For weddings in particular, I have always worked on the vendor management side of things. When my vendors constantly asked why I wasn't a coordinator myself, I realized that I hadn't even considered it.

My husband and I are both savvy creatives by nature. There is never a sale that we do not catch or an item that we cannot DIY. But when it came to our wedding, we knew that we would need some help on the day of. Bee is quite possibly the best wedding coordinator we could have asked for. From day one, she was attentive and incredibly organized. She really helped us narrow down our vision and execute it. Bee filled in the gaps; she was excited when my family was not. She was also a kind listening ear, even when she didn't have to be. The day went off without a hitch and although weddings are stressful, Bee actions and coordination allowed us to be able to enjoy our day. She is kind, LGBT safe, and an absolute star. You'd be remiss to not hire her! Bee may have been hired as our coordinator, but she is now and forever apart of our community. Love you down, Bee.

Working with Michelle has been an absolute pleasure. We selected Michelle because of her long successful track record and also because we have close friends who admitted that Michelle was to be trusted. Selecting a planner can be difficult but thankfully we were blessed with the best one! My wife expects nothing but perfection so the communication between her and Michelle was constant. Everytime my wife had a question or some reassurance; Michelle was there to assist immediately. As a husband, what I appreciated the most was her attention to detail and her calmness. She would always jot down all of our wishes and requests in her notebook in which I respected because there were a lot of asks on our end. Such a professional, responsible, trustworthy person.

I highly recommend.

Cheers To Two did an outstanding job planning our wedding. We hired them for day-of coordination. Michelle and her team were a joy to work with - prompt, clear communication and always kind even when we were scatterbrained. They worked incredibly hard, taking on each challenge and last-minute request with enthusiasm especially considering the size of our venue. Michelle was assertive when she needed to be, also brought fun energy that kept our planning process feeling celebratory and exciting. On the big day, they coordinated everything seamlessly - even literally running back to our room in record time when we forgot our rings! After our first meeting with Cheers To Two we felt total peace of mind that our wedding was in good hands. The months of planning and the event itself went so smoothly we barely noticed behind-the-scenes logistics so we could be totally in the moment. Michelle and her assistants were present to handle any issue but never interrupted the joy of our special day. I can't overstate how grateful we are for Cheers To Two's outstanding service and highly recommend them to other couples! And lastly - the decor!!! They made our vision come to life GORGEOUSLY - I cried. After so many months imagining what it would look like, Michelle made the dream come to life. Pure magic! Let’s do it again!!!

Sabina was a blessing to work with: from helping me discern what was really important and prioritize, to assisting me to reformat my notes and timelines for staff, to bringing new, creative ideas to improve a triple story wedding flow, to calming and reassuring me it all was going to be great! She was my favorite, go-to clarity wedding angel. I highly recommend Sabina for your wedding planning and execution. My wedding came together so well and it was such a relief to hand it over to capable people like Sabina to make my vision come to life.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

I have always been a planner—from friends’ weddings, childhood birthday parties, family vacations, and bachelorettes! Professionally, I spent six years producing events for Creative Artists Agency and United Talent Agency, and I recently produced the 2022 Golden Globe Awards. I then joined the nonprofit world, planning galas, internal company programs, virtual gatherings, and speaker series for Los Angeles-based Skid Row Housing Trust. At the same time, I never stopped planning client weddings.

Erica is an incredible wedding coordinator and person. She is so detail oriented, quick to communicate, thinks ahead and you can tell she loves what she does. She worked well with our budget and gave us so many great options for vendors. She is calm and really made our day as stress free as possible. We're so grateful we had her helping us plan our special day. We truly couldn't have done it without her.

We’re planners, designers, and boss babes. We combine our organizational skills with exuberant personalities to make wedding couples feel at ease with their planning process. Whether it be a day-of client or our full planning and design we make all of our clients feel as though they’re on the top of our priority list.

Planning our wedding bicoastally from NYC to Thousand Oaks was quite an adventure, made entirely possible thanks to XOXO Weddings. We spent two years planning virtually, and from our first meeting with Regan, we knew we had found the perfect fit. Warm, organized, and enthusiastic, Regan was an essential part of our planning process. We connected over our shared Leo energy, and she truly exceeded all our expectations. With the partial planning package including design elements, Regan created stunning mood boards that wowed our vendors and answered all my Type A questions with patience and precision. She was incredibly supportive throughout, making the planning process something we genuinely looked forward to. We loved our regular meetings and were genuinely sad when the process was over—not just because our wedding day had come to an end, but because it meant we wouldn't see her every other week. Our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives, and it was absolutely flawless. Regan handled any hiccups like a seasoned pro, and we received countless compliments from vendors and guests alike on how smoothly everything ran. She was so accommodating of our trickier requests, such as having our candy bar shipped from NYC to LA, and she was with us every step of the way—from site visits and tastings to the rehearsal and early on the wedding day. Her communication was impeccable, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Regan was the last person to leave, making sure we went home with all our cards, attire, leftover food, and even some flowers. If you're looking to hire a planner, we highly recommend XOXO Weddings and especially Regan. She is incredibly hard-working and puts in the effort to make sure everything is perfect.

It is our top priority to ensure you feel relaxed, present throughout your wedding weekend, and confident in our team to deliver excellence in every detail.

My husband and I can confidently say we would not have had our dream wedding if it wasn't for Michelle and Ellamae Productions! My partner and I worked with Michelle as the main coordinator for our wedding for over a year as we planned. Michelle is a hard worker, a creative visionary, and the most organized professional I've ever seen. She is very warm and approachable, great at managing family dynamics and vendors and getting the job done. Our celebration wasn't traditional by any means: we wanted to walk down the aisle to orchestral arrangements of video game music, have our first dance under both tree boughs and chandeliers, and even feature an artisanal tea bar. Michelle made it all happen, and then some. I will never forget being shuttled down to our ceremony location and seeing our reception setup all laid out - everything came together so beautifully, it really felt like our dream came to life. The best thing about working with Michelle is that she deeply and truly loves what she does, and you can feel that joy through every step of the process. Every vendor she recommended to us was the same as her: passionate about their work and in love with weddings as an art form and celebration. She was always available when we had a question or request. We had the privilege of meeting a large part of the Ellamae team on our wedding weekend - everyone was professional, cordial, and on the ball. Anytime we needed anything, Michelle or her team would materialize out of thin air and be there to help us. It was an absolutely spectacular event, truly magical - our friends and family cannot stop talking about it. Weddings are beautiful things, but also horribly stressful at times. In those darker moments, we were both so happy we had Michelle in our corner. Michelle really was the MVP of our celebration and we will always be grateful for the experience of working with her. For the amount of time and effort she puts in, she is also quite affordable! Make your celebration unforgettable and impeccable and work with Ellamae Productions!

Agnes went above and beyond to make our day run smoothly. Her excellent communication skills kept everything clear between the nightmarish amount of vendors we had to organize for our wedding. She was caring and kind throughout. The amount of stress she took off our shoulders was immense. I cannot recommend her enough. She cared about the details and helped with ideas and recommendations whenever we were too burned out from decision making. There were so many logistical issues we wouldn’t have been able to handle without her. We were so glad to have Agnes on our side leading up to the wedding.

I am very fulfilled at helping others through the planning process, especially in alleviating the stresses of planning. Even more so, I am driven to ensure the vision they have for one of the most important days of their lives, comes into fruition. It is always an honor, privilege, and joy to be a part of your wedding day!

"It was a pleasure working with Toni! She is such a sweetheart and treated me like a friend. She went above and beyond what I was looking for. Toni was very organized and had a lot of different ideas and suggestions to fill the missing pieces when I felt lost. At the start of my wedding planning process, I was very overwhelmed but Toni’s monthly meetings made things run smoothly. Toni went beyond my expectations of my vision board for my decorations. She took note of all the little details that I wanted. My wedding turned out just as I imagined it and went very smoothly thanks to Toni. Also on top of what Toni did, she did an amazing job while being pregnant. Thank you so much to Toni and her team." -Kathy

Sehar and her team were awesome to work with. She really did her best to keep me (the bride) and my family calm during wedding planning. Sehar very delicately managed our vendors especially when they had made mistakes and ensured a smooth event. She managed our timeline well and made sure the things I really wanted to happen got done. A general note on working with a wedding planner- No wedding planner will be perfect. We are all humans after all. The important thing is to fund someone you jive with and keep clear, effective and open communication between you and the person you have chosen. It's a collaborative process and it really should be that way. Thats the main reason why I chose Bliss Wedding over some of their competitors.

A warn hello to you all!! I am Nicole Dwyer, Owner and Lead Planner here at PDE. My journey in the event planning industry started in 2013. There is little I love more than executing seamless events and weddings, and yes, I still often cry when I send a bride or groom down the aisle (just a tear or two, I promise). What I love most about my job is that I’m able to express myself creatively. I love drawing inspiration from our clients’ lives – work, hobbies, favorite places, etc. – and collaborating with them to create a meaningful design that is also beautiful.

Pro Details Events was an excellent choice for our wedding planning needs. From the start, Nicole and her team demonstrated a fast, effective, and clear communication style that put us at ease.
