Hi, I’m Morgan! Thank you so much for being here. I am the Owner and Lead Planner of MBK Events. Let’s get straight to it - I freaking love love and I love planning. I swear, celebrating love, planning events, and getting to meet new people is my specialty. While planning my own wedding, I realized that so many Brides are not enjoying the process - so, that's where I plan to step in! I officially launched my business in October of 2021 so I can help other brides execute, plan, style and enjoy the wedding planning process. It is the most magical time of your life so lets make sure it feels magical all the way to the big day!

Awarded Best of Zola
Morgan is the only event planner you should consider hiring. You know how everyone tells you to expect at least one thing to go unplanned or wrong at your wedding? This is simply not the case when Morgan is in charge. Not a single thing went wrong at our wedding. The timeline Morgan created was so seamless that we did not get pushed back nor did we lose out on any reception time. During the planning process, she was responsive, clear and professional. I am very indecisive and always needed reassurance or an alternate suggestion for my details and Morgan was always there for me. My husband and I did not worry about a single thing the entire day as Morgan kept everything moving. We were able to be fully present on our wedding day and we are honestly so sad it's over. Do yourself a favor and skip the other interviews. Morgan and MBK Events is your team!

We can't say enough good things about Rose Event Company! Planning a wedding is never easy, but doing it in just 4 months, from across the country, and in a remote area with limited vendors seemed impossible—until we found Ashley.

From the moment we first spoke, I knew that Ashley was everything I was looking for. She is professional, organized, and full of creative ideas.

Every single detail was meticulously executed, and we received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and seamless everything was. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, patient, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect, look no further than Ashley.

Glennie and Miko absolutely crushed it during our wedding. In the planning process, they knew all the right questions to ask us and when to ask them - so many details that we never even thought of. They were multiple steps ahead of us during our ceremony and reception and were around for the entire 12 hour journey that day!

I had a very unique style wedding and most of it I tried to do DIY. In a nutshell, it became extremely overwhelming for me, so I asked my planner Rebecca to assist. 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.

Welcome to Valley Decors, your go-to destination for all your event planning and coordination needs! We are delighted to introduce you to our dedicated team led by Grace, our experienced event planner extraordinaire. Grace and her team are passionate about creating memorable events that leave a lasting impression.

Valley Decors provided good communication throughout the planning process, though we felt communication could have been better on the day of the event. However, they still did an excellent job overall. The team at Valley Decors set up the event flawlessly for our 350 guests - everything came out perfect. They have a great team that works well together. The only downside was that they picked up rented items like the table runner and napkins before the night was over, which I didn't appreciate, though I understand they needed to collect plates and glassware. Despite this, Grace and Travis were a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond, even stepping in when one of our other vendors fell short on tables and linens. They provided amazing rentals and were able to quickly deliver extra tables and freshly ironed linens with less than 24 hours notice. Although there were a few minor hiccups on our wedding day that were out of their control, Grace and Travis provided an exceptional setup and coordination for our event.

Calder's Creations was an absolute dream to work with as our wedding planners. From the very beginning, their communication style was responsive, honest, and nurturing - we felt as if we were the only couple Natalie worked with throughout our entire planning process, as she was so dedicated to us and our special day. The quality of her work and value was truly remarkable, exceeding our expectations at every turn. She took care of all the setup and breakdown, and provided us with a convenient cash payment system that removed the worry of paying vendors on the day of. Natalie went the extra mile to ensure our wedding day was perfect, and we never felt like just one of the bunch, they were there every step of the way. We are forever grateful for her exceptional service and attention to detail, we couldn’t have planned our wedding without her!

Queen is a fantastic, supportive, and flexible planner. The month-to-day-of coordination package was perfect for us as our venue provided some coordination/planning as well. Queen took a lot of the day-of pressure away, allowing us the freedom to enjoy the day stress free. Any surprises or unanswered questions that popped up were quickly dealt with, and she made sure everything was in place beforehand so we didn't need to worry about anything else on the big day. She also made planning and coordinating things outside of what our venue provided easy and painless. Both on the day of the wedding and in the time leading up to it, she was responsive and flexible. Along with our regular planned calls, she was also quick to reply to our texts for wedding recommendations and advice. We would highly recommend Queen to anyone who wants the peace of mind to know that the day of their wedding will go smoothly and worry-free.

We first learned about Oso Events in the summer of 2022 while remotely planning our California wedding from the East Coast. From the very first introductory call, they blew us away with their professionalism, punctuality, warmth, organization, and excellence. Without them, our wedding would not have been nearly as amazing as it was! They found us fantastic vendors in the Bay Area like the food, HMUA, DJ, and server staffing company, organized our wedding day schedule, held regular video calls with us, got quotes from vendors, kept track of our budget and payment schedule with weekly updates, arranged set-up of the ceremony and reception venue, made sure our vendors got day-of tips, and more! The only thing that could be improved is that there was a specific deadline for event liability insurance that I and the planning team all missed initially. No harm was done though! The mistake was caught in time before it affected the event, and all went well! Michelle and Raymundo excellently identified what our energy levels as a newlywed couple would be like in the week leading up to the big event, and the day of the actual wedding. Raymundo directed our impromptu ceremony rehearsal, helping our officiant and party mark their places and signaling where/when we should stand and walk. Michelle checked in with the bride and the groom consistently throughout the night of the reception, asking if we needed water, food, or other drinks since we were often distracted by the festivities. They maintained effective communication leading up to and on the day of the wedding. Their decorations at the ceremony and reception were absolutely gorgeous and exactly what we wanted. At the end of the night, they managed takedown, and made sure all of the personal decorative items and remembrance photos we brought were conveniently all in the same box for us to take home. Through the yearlong process of planning, they dealt with last-minute logistical changes with incredible poise, and truly grounded us, allowing us to enjoy the day with free minds. The team even accommodated two of our guests who tested positive for COVID last-minute by setting up a separate table for them in the outdoor venue. We couldn't recommend them more highly. Not to mention, their BobaHolics boba bar was a huge hit and the photo booth was a lot of fun. We got a lot of mileage out of the sustainable decor inventory, which prevented us from having tons of wedding stuff on hand that we'd accumulate and need to resell after. The entire range of services offered by Oso is incredibly helpful and will make any event an absolute hit. We have loved working with the team and we’re so grateful they decided to take us on as clients at the start of their wedding planning journey.

Isabel and TYR were simply the best! We may have been communicating on email, pinterest boards, instagram reels, and text - all at once! And yet somehow it was always cohesive, nothing was ever missed! Isabel has a sound aesthetic for South Asian Weddings, and she understood our unique needs for the pre-wedding Mehendi and Haldi events, and the rituals and traditions for our big day! Communicating with all the vendors, the suggestions for apps, and making our design vision come alive! TYR was part of the family by the end of our wedding week, even our dog would agree!!

Hello 💫 I wanted to a minute to introduce myself, My name is Lisa, I’m a wife & mama, and I’ve finally decided to take a passion of mine & turn it into a career. For 10 years coordinating events had been a hobby, and I’ve had the honor of being part of so many beautiful days. Now, I can’t wait to be part of YOUR most important days 🤍 We take care of your small details so you can enjoy your big day!

We used Lisa’s services as a day of coordintor and she was so helpful, she reviewed our timeline, provided input and support in areas that we had questions in, and made sure that everything went as smoothly as possible day of. As a mostly DIY bride it was SO convenient to be able to explain my vision, hand off my binder, and take comfort that Lisa had everything under control from there! Can’t recommend her enough, she helped relieve so much pre-wedding anxiety as we got into the last month before the wedding and helped our day feel like an absolute dream. We’re so grateful!

Michele was our full wedding planner. Our wedding went perfect without a single hitch and it was all thanks to Michele. We had the caterer for our rehearsal dinner drop out one week before the event and Michele found us a replacement within an hour; and the replacement caterer was a slam dunk. Everyone loved the food. On the day of the wedding and rehearsal dinner Michele and Dan did everything. And I mean everything. She set up tables, positioned flowers and welcome signs and seating charts. She ironed over disagreements with vendors and never once did we have to lift a finger. It is a common saying that the bride and groom never enjoy their own wedding but we thoroughly had a blast at ours thanks to Michele. She is forever our go-to recommendation to all our friends getting married. If she has availability to plan your wedding, book her.

Ali is literally the best wedding coordinator a couple could ask to have. From the moment we first spoke with her, she made us feel comfortable and confident that we would have a smooth wedding planning experience and stress free wedding day. Although the stress is inevitable, Ali lifted a ton of weight off of our shoulders the entire last month leading up to our wedding and the wedding day was more beautiful than we could’ve imagined. Our only regret was not choosing full service planning with Ali and only going with month-of! We can't imagine the process going smoothly without Ali and her team and highly recommend her to all of our friends and family. She helped us more than we could have ever hoped – from always being available to give us advice on any decisions we had to make, big or small, to making sure we truly were able to enjoy and not worry about anything but being present on our wedding day. There are so many behind-the-scene logistical challenges that we did not even notice until we thought about it after the wedding and realized were handled by her team. We were able to trust her 100% in any stylistic choices because we know she has a good eye for aesthetics and making our vision come to life. She took the time and effort to learn what we as a couple uniquely like, and made sure that everything was perfect on the wedding day. Ali’s experience and advice are what makes her planning invaluable, even the smallest things you might not think about can make such a big difference on how the day pans out. We genuinely don’t think our wedding would have been possible without her and her expert team!

I can't thank Jackie and her team enough for creating the perfect wedding day for us. We could not have had such a memorable experience without her guidance, expertise and support. Every vendor she recommended was professional and provided exactly what we asked for. If you have the pleasure of working with Jackie and her team, you will be well-cared for and supported throughout the planning process.

As a fellow event professional in Las Vegas & California, it's always great to see a new crop of young & talented vendors make their way into the industry. With Taylor & TayCheney Events, she brings a certain energy that I believe connects more with the bride & grooms of today. She has a pulse on pop culture, event trends, and connects with couples & vendors alike in a way that "she just gets it." As someone to collaborate on events with, she was attentive to some our quirks as a DJ & MC, and always made sure to follow-up / check-in with us on timelines in case some deets may have slipped by (hey, DJs have weird schedules lol) We've worked in multiple cities, and alongside my roster of DJs, and Taylor just continues to crush it. TayCheney Events is an amazing planner and I can't wait to see (and be a part of) her future productions. Would recommend her to any couple / client ten times over!
