Serenity Weddings

  • Serves Manhattan Beach, CA
  • Offer

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.

Working with Desiree at Serenity Weddings is such a breeze! She's worked with us for a few of her clients, some shopping for gowns and others who are just looking for the perfect accessory to match their gowns. Her easy-going and empathetic attitude make her brides feel so comfortable, and her love for being sustainable is a great match for our consignment boutique. She has an eye for bridal style and is able to fine tune a look and imagine different possibilities to really make sure you feel your absolute best on your wedding day!

Mindy & Co. Events 

5.0

  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Manhattan Beach, 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.

My husband and I were so happy with our day-of coordinators, Teri and Mindy. We felt like they went above and beyond our expectations in terms of how well they communicated with us preparing for the wedding. On the day-of, they made sure everything ran smoothly and on schedule (: We did run behind schedule later in the evening (as expected with any wedding, mostly due to some family drama), but they managed to get us caught up because they were very efficient at getting all of the vendors on the same page! We got so many compliments from our wedding party and guests saying the flow events appeared very smooth, and there were very few, minor hiccups, which is a huge accomplishment for a wedding in my eyes! I can honestly say I don't think our wedding day could have gone any better, and it would not have been possible without our coordinators working so hard to make sure everyone knew where to go and what to do. I also greatly appreciated their attention to detail, they set up my decorations exactly how I requested and even provided a checklist of items for me to hand to them at the rehearsal. This was such a lifesaver, we would not have had anything to cut our cake with had they not lended us their knife and server! Cannot recommend Mindy & Co Events enough!

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.

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.

It Could All Be So Simple 

5.0

  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Manhattan Beach, CA

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.

To say that B is a miracle worker and a blessing is an understatement. A little background: Like many brides, I thought I could do this all on my own. However, 3 months until our wedding, I finally came to understand that I need help, and I am so lucky to have found B (or more like so lucky she never gave up in reaching out to me). My one regret is that I did not go to her sooner. If you want a wedding planner who is hard working, zero-nonsense, extremely organized, and will make you feel like their #1, B is for you. I told her when getting started that I need someone who will hand my hand as if I am a 12 yo during this whole process, and she did it. She relieved so much of my stress, was an amazing soundboard during this whole process, was my #1 advocate. She knew when to give me the "I gotchu" to the "I am going to be real with you..." I did not think I would be able to enjoy my wedding as the bride, but B made it a priority that my husband and I, as well as our entire family and all of our guests, enjoy this special day. I am so happy to say, that she did it. Everyone, including myself, had an amazing, smooth wedding day, and it was all thanks to her. I cannot vouch for B enough. Yes, she really is the best thing ever. Yes, she is really that affordable (despite all of us telling her she is under-charging). And yes, I still wish I could hire her as my life coach. Ladies (and gents): If you are looking for a wedding planner, I cannot emphasize my absolute adoration and love for this woman. She pulled off miracle in my eyes.

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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Julia was our day-of coordinator and she is someone you can rely on and know that she and her team will have your back. There are a lot of wins from our wedding that we know couldn’t have happened without Julia and her team. 1. Perfect set up and break down: For our wedding, we had a lot of detailed DIY set ups and fragile arrangements which Julia and her team were able to oversee, set up, and break down for us which was incredibly important to us – we didn’t break or lose one of our items, and finished all within our allotted hour time frame. From DIY centerpiece florals, to DIY acrylic everything – to our own slideshow and long bar set ups – it was exactly to our vision. 2. Above and beyond with our fur-children: You can count on Julia to also take on all sorts of requests for your big day. We had our 5 dogs in the ceremony which was a critical part for us and her team was able to make that happen despite the extra logistical lifts and practice. 3. Timing: the dress rehearsal Julia led was incredibly helpful to the wedding party and officiant that it set us up for success that on the actual wedding, we started ON TIME and had buffer time for any set backs or emergencies. She was also great at guiding our guests in a swift manner to the ceremony and then the reception room despite the open bar 4. Fun: Although we hired Julia and her team for only the day-of, we felt like when they were with our families, wedding party, and guests, that they were part of our group – they were friendly, social, polite, and incredibly professional. We needed Julia and her team on the day of our wedding, we just didn’t realize and appreciate it even more so until the day-of. Thank you Julia and Kim for everything in prep and on the day of our special day. We’re grateful to have you had on our side to make the wedding of our dreams come to life.

Faye Fern Creative

Faye Fern Creative is a luxury Design + Planning house based in LA and NYC. We are experience curators who specialize in high touch, understated and effortlessly distinctive weddings. With more than 40 years of collective industry experience between us, we have earned a reputation for architecting extraordinary events built upon a foundation of bespoke service. We focus on quality over quantity, taking on only a select number of mutually aligned clients each year. This allows us to protect our creative integrity, and deliver the caliber of design and production our couples truly deserve.

To say that Faye Fern Creative exceeded all our wildest dreams is to put it lightly. Our wedding was a work of art thanks to Natalie Faye Fern, who is not only a creative mastermind but also an extraordinary person: intelligent, resourceful, kind, and a joy to be around. She works harder than anyone and goes above and beyond to make your vision come alive. Yet on our wedding weekend, she and her whole team made everything look totally effortless!! They were the picture of calm and brought the most warm and positive energy that our guests just fed off. Everything was so, so well coordinated and we felt we could just trust the Faye Fern team to do their job. They also gave us invaluable advice before the wedding which we followed and it helped to keep us very organized on our end. The decor took our breath away. We aren't design experts and just had a general idea of what we liked. Also owing to our busy schedules which left us little time to participate in the design process, we let Natalie run freely with the concepts she came up with and would tell any other couple to do the same! You won't regret it! I might be something of a designer's nightmare: a bride who doesn't always know what she wants and doesn't have time to plan anything but has high standards about whatever it is. I secretly feared that my wedding would never live up to what I hoped but when we stepped into our ceremony and reception, our jaws were on the floor the whole time. We could not believe this was our wedding because ohhhh my godd. It's like Natalie knew exactly what we wanted without us even knowing it ourselves. The fact that she designed and planned this for us while based in a different city the whole time makes it all the more impressive to me. Last of all, I want to add how grateful I am that Natalie always made sure that both my husband and I felt equally included in decisions. Many vendors treat the bride as if she is the only one whose opinion matters and while maybe this is traditional in the industry, I could tell that he felt left out sometimes. So I want to thank Natalie for always treating it like it was OUR wedding and not just mine because it meant a lot to my husband.

Her and the owner were so kind enough to make my original package of Day of Planning, to Full planning at a discount! Saved my whole wedding day. I cried a few days before my wedding because remembering all the months prior, they were there for me every step of the way. And on the day, everyone kept asking me, Is your planner a friend of yours? I honestly told them, 100% yes. :) Because I feel like we now are friends. Such a family orientated company. 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!!!

My husband and I had a great experience working with Sabina of Blooming Plan and Organize as our partial planner for our wedding! Now, I’m a gal who loves control and has a clear vision for most things, so it was important for me and my husband to work with someone who understood that and was able to have the knowledge to fill in the gaps of things we struggled to do ourselves. Sabina was just the person to do so! She was extremely knowledgeable of the wedding industry here in LA and had great recommendations for vendors. She was also critical in ensuring we booked with vendors that were hard to track down! She was persistent and effective. She also served as our day-of coordinator, and while I’m a bride who made a 64-page planner of the wedding day ins and outs, Sabina was there to ensure everything flowed as needed and efficiently! She’s a great coordinator and I’d definitely recommend her for any bride or groom looking for extra help planning their wedding in Los Angeles or SoCal!

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.

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.
