This review is 100% honest. We got married at The Loft on Pine a few weeks ago, and if anyone is getting married there you NEED to work with Green Apple! She has a lot of experience with the venue, she used to work there, and knows all the little details and rules. We chose their Simply Coordination Services, and along with our two helpful in-person meetings, Meghan and her team were easy to reach by phone and email with any questions or needs. I never felt like I was inconveniencing them with questions or concerns, and everyone was quick to respond. She also gave great suggestions and advice on how to set up our day. The Loft on Pine's standard hours given for a wedding is 5 hours, and I was nervous that we wouldn't have a lot of time for dancing, which was super important for me. Also, she gave the excellent recommendation of hiring DartDJ. They are incredible! At the rehearsal, Meghan was super patient and made it quick and fun. My husband is one of 7 and we had about 8 little ones in our wedding, so you can only imagine how hectic it could have been. She also helped us store our own decor on site. The day of couldn't have gone better! I honestly can't recall anything going wrong, and if it did Meghan handled it so none of us were aware. Even my father, who has pretty high expectations and is the first to point out when things feel like they're dragging, was so impressed with the flow of the wedding and reception. Everything was seamless. Not only did it go smoothly, we had more than enough time to dance! My family, husband, and I continue to sing Meghan's praises, and can confidently say that if we did it all over again...we would do it exactly the same. You don't get to do your wedding day over, so make sure it goes perfectly and work with Green Apple Event Co.!

Wedding planning can be intimidating, exhausting, overwhelming, and stressful. On the flip side, it…read moreis a beautiful and creative process. Finding the perfect wedding planner to help us navigate this huge undertaking was our key first step in the planning process and we were so fortunate to cross paths with the brilliant team at Green Apple. Our main goal was to find a planner that would be collaborative and creative; someone who would guide us with their expertise, but work with us to help bring our ideas to life. Meghan was that brilliant and creative mind to engineer our dream wedding. Meghan and her team are very experienced and it is evident in their work. They helped us stay on top of so many small details that we would have otherwise overlooked or not been aware of at all. She is familiar with all of the modern and current styles in the industry, from signage to florals, but her vision goes so far beyond delivering you an "on trend" wedding. She incorporates so much of the personality and creative tastes of the couples she works with, and this was very apparent in our finished product. We worked with Meghan on a full-planning service and she was by our side from a week after our engagement all the way until the dance floor cleared on our wedding night. The full planning was a dream, as she helped us navigate everything including vendor visits, budget planning, contract review, catering tastings, and design elements among other countless details; she goes beyond just the business aspect of wedding planning, she was tuned in to our personal experiences during the entire process, including our family dynamics, guest list drama and sometimes just serving as someone we could vent to about the emotions that come along with planning. She was an absolute dream to work with. Day-of coordination went off without a hitch. With a guest count of over 250 people, an offsite church ceremony, 2 venue spaces to set up between cocktail hour and the dining/dancing, navigating downtown LA traffic, and coordinating with over a dozen vendors, this was a hectic day. Meghan and her team pulled everything off FLAWLESSLY. I cannot stress enough how organized and timely everything went; as the bride and groom, we had absolutely no stress or worry about things being in place or on time. She was graceful in handling any family situations that came up, tended to our needs and timelines, and was just so pleasant with our family and friends. We could not have asked for a better experience than what we had with Green Apple Event Co. Meghan helped deliver our dream wedding and looking back on it we will always have fond memories of our time spent creating with her and her amazing team. Thank you, Meghan!

My husband and I were not planning on hiring a wedding planner due to our budget, but because our…read morevenue required day of coordinator, we started looking for one. I chose to go with Eight and Rose because the pricing was fair compared to other companies and it was within our budget. We're so glad that we did because Lisa was AMAZING! She's sweet, professional, detail oriented, and so easy to work with. She went above and beyond what I thought a day-of-coordinator would be doing for us. She was a tremendous help with every single part of our wedding. Everything from dealing with the vendors and managing the timeline to helping decorating our centerpiece and wedding cake. She even took photos of us, which was so nice of her to take the time to do! At the end of the night, we had minimal cleaning because Lisa did most of it for us. I don't know what I would have done without her! Even our guests were praising her to me on how great of a job she was doing! Our wedding was seamless thanks to Lisa! Thank you so much Lisa! Hire Eight & Rose as your wedding coordinator! You will not regret it!

If you don't read my long review below, just stop what you're doing and hire Lisa Wu of Eight &…read moreRose right away! Her services were above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. She was so professional and responsive whether it was texting, calling, or email. I live in NYC and was planning a Southern California wedding. She was always available to meet whenever I'd fly into LA, even at the earliest hours of the morning. I initially sought out Lisa because of her fair pricing, but I'd easily pay double for the coordination she provided. From the minute we had an initial phone call, I could tell she was Type A, which is exactly what you need in a coordinator. My gut told me she was perfect for our wedding, and indeed she was! Wedding Lead Up: We had one initial face to face with Lisa where she got to know our needs and our vision. She provided us with super helpful google docs to keep track of decor, guest list, timeline, vendors, etc. As the months of planning progressed, she was CCd on every email with every vendor, and would follow up where necessary. As a type A person myself, I never thought I'd really need my coordinator to do much, but Lisa would always beat me to the punch with following up for missing information or details our venue and vendors had missed. Walk-through: Lisa did a walk-through with us and our venue's coordinator, where she ironed out all of the details of the floor plan and decor, and remembered to ask for things like a full length mirror in our conference room we had to do hair/makeup. Rehearsal: Lisa was great about telling everyone where to go, how to walk properly, and taking pictures for us so we could rearrange people if we needed to. Our bridesmaid was running late but she was able to coordinate with Lisa to find where we were and make it on time. We felt very at ease and ready for the wedding after the rehearsal. Wedding!!!: Lisa and her assistant were wonderful with setting up all of our decor exactly how and where we wanted it, and believe me we had a lot of it! Lisa had the perfect balance of being invisible but also available right when we needed her. She was there to give me a bandaid when my feet blistered, help my grandma with her corsage, and track down random vendors when we needed them, but also stayed behind the scenes a lot. Everyone says a coordinator is there not for if something happens but when something happens. Well, we know of no such happenings because any mishaps were handled 100% by Lisa as we were enjoying ourselves. She had a great balance of keeping us on schedule while still asking if we wanted 5 or 10 more minutes of mingling with friends. At the end of the night she packed up all of our gifts and decor for us, and we didn't have to worry about a thing. The day after our wedding she even sent us tons of pictures and boomerangs she had taken of behind the scenes moments. These are so special to us, and we'll savor them as we wait patiently for our professional photos. Can't recommend Eight & Rose enough!

Helen was such a wonderful month-of coordinator for our wedding: extremely detail-oriented,…read morefriendly, helpful, experienced, a joy to work with. She recommended amazing vendors who will all be getting 5 star reviews from us too (check out Meredith from Zoom Theory if you need an amazing event photographer in the Los Angeles area -- so grateful to Helen for helping us find her!). Overall, we are so glad to have met Helen and have her guide us through this experience. Without her things would have been chaotic and stressful. But with her help we were able to create one of the best days ever! Our wedding was at La Venta Inn in Palos Verdes; Helen had worked at the venue many times; our event went off without a single hitch; everything was absolutely perfect. Emphatic 5 stars from us.

Helen is responsive to emails and phone calls from beginning to end. She has her own staff and a top notch assistant, Chad. We combed through quite a few other planners and ultimately decided on Helen and Eighteen Place Cards. We too read the reviews and were not too sure how legitimate all of the 5 star ratings were, so we really gave Helen the 3rd degree, 10 months before the wedding date. Specifics: Helen checked in with us regarding every single detail from the venue [The Noor], ALL of our vendors, and remained on top of it all every step of the way. She was constantly going the extra mile at every turn and never once did she drop the ball, or fail at any of the tasks! We were demanding and we put a lot on her shoulders, but she proved to us she knew her job and performed extremely well. Helen and her team always responded with a 'can do attitude', while maintaining a professional demeanor. To say that we are grateful to have done business with Helen, would be a complete understatement. She and Chad are dedicated to getting the job done, no matter what. Everything came together perfectly as a result of her planning, execution and commitment. My daughter's wedding day was a total success because of Helen, Eighteen Place Cards, Chad and the rest of her staff. The proof is in the pudding. All of our guests commented on how nice everything was and how much fun they had. I know for a fact this was a direct result of Helen's passion and dedication to her profession. To sum it all up, I will most definitely utilize Helen for future events. She is worth every dollar we spent, and more. My entire family thanks you very kindly Helen. Respectfully, Ralph G.

I attended a Victoria Stephen Event nearly ten years ago and I was so impressed with how beautiful…read morethe event was that I knew then I would absolutely be hiring Victoria to help plan my wedding. I got married last Friday (9/10/21) and it was the most perfect and magical day! Not only did Victoria find our venue in Lake Arrowhead but she drove up every time we had a meeting with vendors and the venue coordinator. The day of she kept everyone on time, the day moved so incredibly smooth and stress free that my husband and I really got to enjoy the day and we actually got to eat! Seriously look no further for a wedding planner, Victoria is incredible!

I had…read morehired her for day-of coordinating, but she was there for me throughout the entire wedding process. She helped me find vendors and work out contracts, and just kept me sane and comfortable for the entire process. She is so kind and warm, which just makes everyone feel comfortable around her, and she handled even my most diva-esq vendor with such ease. All my vendors loved her and kept commenting on how wonderful she was! The day of the wedding there were a few small fires, from the microphone not working during the ceremony, to running out of alcohol within an hour of opening the bar, and she had everything completely under control, contacted the rental company immediately and had a solution already in place to get more alcohol before anyone even noticed! I'm sure a million other things happened that she handled without me knowing as well! She executed my vision perfectly and I was so incredibly pleased with how the wedding went, and I know it wouldn't have happened without her! I really can't say enough about her, but hiring Victoria was easily the best decision I made regarding wedding planning!!! I've already referred her to a few friends, and would highly recommend her over and over again. Thank you, Victoria!!!!

Where do I even begin? Missy and her amazing team from Oh Missy Events were absolutely incredible…read more-- and truthfully, very underrated. They deserve so much more recognition. This review is a little late because I really wanted to take the time to properly acknowledge how wonderful Missy is -- not just as a wedding planner, but as a person. She truly understands, listens, and has had unlimited patience with me since the very beginning of my wedding planning journey. 01.10.26 was the best day ever for my husband and me, but we had been working with Missy for a full year leading up to it. We got married at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels and had our gorgeous reception at South Park Center in LA. From the moment I first inquired with her, to creating the most beautiful vision board, to the constant communication and bringing every detail to life -- Missy has been such a sweetheart and incredibly talented. I first saw her work through another bride, and with her modern yet elegant style, I just knew I had found the perfect wedding planner. Her vendors are equally talented -- from our photographer, Tony Le, to our creative florist, Thu from Lace & Stems, to our amazing wedding MC, RayontheMic -- everyone gave 100% and truly delivered their best work. She also collaborates so seamlessly with other vendors. She is truly one of a kind. Missy not only helped me plan our wedding, but she also designed our save-the-dates, wedding invitations, menus, and signage. Every single detail was pristine -- beautiful, modern, yet timeless. I've been replaying our wedding videos and looking through our photos nonstop, just admiring how stunning everything turned out. I will always recommend Missy to everyone I know. I truly believe her talent in design and wedding planning will only continue to grow from here

I've always dreamed of having a beautiful wedding, but as a Type A person who lacks a creative eye, I had no idea where to begin. Hiring Missy for her full‑service planning package lifted so much of the stress from wedding planning, thanks to the many stages of the process she expertly guided us through. This included going with us to tour venues, designing our Save the Dates and invitations, designing our florals based on our mood board, communicating with vendors, and developing a detailed day-of timeline to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible. She also helped arrange our rehearsal dinner, which took a lot of burden off my shoulders since there was so much going leading up to the big day. I also really appreciated that Missy sent me and my husband an encouraging and thoughtful text the morning of our wedding to remind us to eat (so important, trust me) and savor every moment. Highly recommend booking Missy for any event - you won't regret it!

Sharon is OBJECTIVELY a fantastic partial wedding planner. Why? Because she likely would thrive as…read morea project manager for any project - she just happens to be passionate about weddings. 1. She writes meeting notes for every meeting you have with her - there is always a todo list for you & todo list for her included. 2. Her vendor communication is clear - she not only listened to your preferences, but she documented them in her meeting notes. You are confident that she is aware. This allows her to reply to all vendors exactly with your preferences. 3. You do not have to micromanage her - she already is asking the questions that need to be asked and organizing what you said you wanted (all cc-ed, so you can follow along on the status). 4. No matter how detailed oriented you want the wedding to be, she is right there with you - because she is the MOST detail-oriented. She can handle your complex wedding venue. 5. She anticipates problems and asks you what you would want if something came up. Everything is anticipated ahead of time with a plan A, B & C. 6. She is easy to get along with - for you and vendors alike. Partial planning with Sharon is 100% the way to go. You'll have fun in the wedding process - you get to have a wedding that represents you, you get to participate in opinions & you don't have to stress that it will all come together. As someone who had 2 weddings 1 month apart & 2 wedding planners, I can objectively say Sharon is a true PLANNER. I cannot stress enough that this is what you need - you don't need someone to be social & "understand your vibe" (though Sharon is & did for us). My best wedding planning advice is do not forget you are hiring a wedding PLANNER to be a good PLANNER. If you don't choose Sharon, good luck out there - choosing a wedding planner is a terrifying place to be! I've had both the experience you want & your worst nightmare ~ Sharon was the former.

Sharon was honestly a lifesaver when it came to everything she did for our wedding. As our day-of…read morewedding coordinator, she took initiative on the planning duties a month before the event. On the first day she started working with us, Sharon walked us through her own checklist of what needed to be done, took notes on what we had been working on (i.e. vendors, linens, guest lists, etc.), and was able to compile the information into a solid plan for our wedding day. We met with Sharon each week thereafter over Zoom to discuss how the planning was progressing, where she helped us put together a weekly set of tasks to make sure every detail was taken care of and on schedule. When there was an issue with a vendor, she became our point of contact. Where there was need for clarification concerning something on the itinerary, she made sure it was resolved. Using her knowledge of the wedding industry, Sharon helped refine our ideas to ensure that our vision of a perfect wedding would become a reality. Sharon was the consummate professional, giving prompt and detailed responses to questions by email. We could not imagine not having Sharon by our side on the weekend of our wedding! She flew in from LA to meet us in Napa for our rehearsal and walked through each and every bit of our event with everyone involved. She has so much experience yet never stops to answer our infinite amount of questions or clarify each and every step of the event with us thoroughly until we felt comfortable. On the "big day" she arrived early and was beginning to set up the venue while we got ready. Just knowing she was there was a relief to know things were going to be just fine. Her improvisation is amazing! Little things that we did not anticipate going right she had a perfect solution for, not even needing us to stress about it. One of the tasks she helped with was packing up our cars before the event wrapped up. She asked for a list of which items belongs to who, whether it was the vendor's or a friend's. Sharon then gathered and stored of the belongings in each person's car for easy clean up. It could not have been more easy with Sharon's helping hand and meticulous planning. The thing we appreciated most about Sharon was her friendly demeanor and proactive approach to coordinating our wedding. As thorough and organized as she was, Sharon completely put our minds at ease. Sharon truly served as an invaluable partner throughout the process. Thank you so much Sharon for all that you did!

From my…read morephone phone call with Kavita almost 8 months before the wedding I knew she was the one for my wedding. She gives off this aura of calmness, something that is mandatory when planning a wedding. Calling her organized is the minimum, every detail of every single event was so flawlessly planned ahead of time that we knew exactly what to expect the weekend of. It is also very clear she is well known in the industry as all my vendors were very familiar with her. This made booking vendors and communication much much easier. And all vendors had only positive things to say about her, always. At the wedding, her and Shekar and her team were available at any time of day to make sure we had water in our hands and a hefty plate of food. They navigated stressful situations seamlessly. You could feel their own love and energy blessing our wedding the whole time. I would recommend Kavita and her team to anyone who is planning a wedding or event of any sort. Without her and Subham events, our wedding would not have been the fairytale we remember it as. We are so grateful to Subham events for coordinating and planning our happily ever after.
