Being frugal and a DYI-er, I didn't even consider a planner at first. A co-worker had some insightful advice on planners and their ability/connections that could actually lead to more savings down the road. I then took to research on finding a cost effective planner. After tons of research, inquired with 6 planners explaining our $10K budget for our wedding. Two of them didn't even respond, 2 others had fees that were a majority of our budget, and 1 girl scoffed at our budget and condescendingly directed me to a blog mocking a $10K wedding budget. Cindy was the only one who provided a sincere, warm, and welcome response and was excited at the prospect of meeting with us to explore some possibilities within our budget. Ultimately we went with a close friend that is a wedding planner by trade who offered to do our wedding essentially for free. I guess we didn't delve enough into the process to speak to Cindy's execution and value, but I do want to say from the planners I interacted with, she was a breath of fresh air and I'm actually disappointed we won't be working with her. read more

Professional, meticulous, and creative are the first three words that come to mind when describing AC wedding and events. We had only two months before our wedding and we had nothing planned. Cindy guided us through step by step and made what would have been a stressful process become nothing more than running a few extra errands a week. Because of her vast experience, she had the framework for wedding planned out from the get-go. We knew from the start that she would be doing all of the thinking, which was a great deal of weight lifted from our backs; we were in good hands. Our greatest fear in having a wedding planner was that we would be pressured into doing things the way the wedding planner wanted; this was not the case with Cindy. She worked with us and took very special care in customizing every minute detail in the wedding plan; she was very creative and was able to throw dozens of ideas our way, letting us pick and choose what we wanted to do. Whenever there was one thing that we said no or hesitated on, she was able to give us two more options; she wasn't satisfied until she knew that we were satisfied. Everytime we met Cindy she would bring a portfolio of everything we have accumulated so far. We'd always forget what we had to bring or what we should bring, but soon after we figured out that she would have everything that we needed; we pretty much relied on her for everything. She would send us a to-do list or reminders after every meeting, so we never once had to wonder what was left to be done. She definitely made wedding planning something that barely interfered with our lives; we were shocked how smooth everything went. Whether it was before, during or after the wedding, Cindy was available to us when we really needed her. We couldn't imagine how we would have survived without her and if we were to go back in time to choose again, we would without a doubt choose AC Wedding & Events to do our wedding planning. read more

Cindy was super helpful helping me plan my boyfriends 30th birthday bash. I wanted to do a casino themed party in 2 weeks with a very limited budget. She helped me coordinate the event in such a short time, completed with a custom design cake, dessert table, flower arrangements. I had so much positive feedback from the party. Thanks ac weddings and events! read more

See all

Cindy is an amazing wedding coordinator! She is incredibly detailed and organized, which definitely showed in our wedding. We only used her as a day-of coordinator so we started meeting regularly about a month before our wedding. She asked us a ton of questions, which is great because it really caused to think about everything we needed. She also helped us come up with a lot of great little details that stood out to our guests (i.e., photo hunt, date idea cards, advice cards). Cindy developed a very detailed wedding timeline (down to the minute!) and checklist of items for us to bring the day of/night before (phew! almost forgot a few things until I saw this list). She also talked to each of our vendors to confirm details and helped me hunt down some vendors who were being unresponsive. On the day of the wedding, Cindy and her two assistants were rockstars. The day went by so smoothly and without a hitch and we can definitely attribute it to the planning and organization. Everything pretty much went according to plan which almost never happens with weddings! All our guests say our wedding was the most organized they've ever been to. In addition, Cindy went above and beyond...The bouquets were forgotten at the florists so Cindy drove down to Garden Grove (wedding was in Yorba Linda) to retrieve them for us. Bottom line, hire AC, you won't regret it! read more

5 stars if you enjoy having a lazy planner that is more interested in photo booth selfies than taking care of the bride and groom. Likely get a better experience pulling a rando off the street to coordinate for you. For Shame AC. read more

I sat down with Cindy and discussed her approach to Weddings last week and what stuck out to me about her the most was her sincerity and passion for creating Weddings. She doesn't just do it as a job, but this is something she really cares about. She gets really involved in people's love story and I could feel the empathy very obviously. She is detail oriented and has that touch/taste that she puts on items. I can tell that she is very professional and goes the extra mile for her clients. I'm really looking forward to our next meeting and I'll look to keeping you posted! read more

If you want to enjoy your own wedding, AC Weddings is your best bet. My husband and I wanted to add a lot of personal touches to our wedding and Cindy worked with me and my husband closely for almost a year to make sure our wedding take place exactly the way we wanted. She is attentive to details, super responsive to emails and even last minutes requests. Especially in the last 2 weeks before the wedding day, we simply needed someone professional and experienced just to allow every planned detail to be executed correctly. Needless to say, the wedding turned out perfectly and most importantly, we did not have to pull our hairs or deal with any dramas thanks to Cindy who handled everything absolutely well! read more

Cindy is great wedding coordinator. She is very flexible and creative. The venue for our wedding was at a private villa. She was able to accommodate every request we had - deal with all the vendors including entertainment, cocktail, cake and desert bars, food catering, table rental service, floral company. AC event is worth her weight in gold. She helped us to set up the outdoor ceremony, cocktail bar and decorate the 2 acres villa. Cindy was more than helpful; we hired her as "day of coordinator" but she guided me through the process and helped bargaining to get us the best deals; she met me at different times when I needed to finalize things. She is not afraid to tell you if she knows something will not work, but she will find a way to make your wedding dream come true. The way she organized everything and her energy level was fantastic. We are 100% satisfied with her. read more

Cindy was motivated and ready to help i have absolutely no complaints she has great ideas she listen to what "you" the bride and groom want and she makes it happen shes awsome and prices are great i would highly recommend you go with cindy THANKS CINDY!!! read more

We enjoy working with AC Weddings and Events. It's always a pleasure working with Cindy, who is both very responsive and professional. As a vendor, I believe in communication being the number one priority. Professionalism is a close second. She's able to accomplish both, AND MORE, without any drama or headaches. During her events, you can tell that she's put some incredible thought into fulfilling the vision of her clients. read more

I'm so glad I made the right decision to hire Amanda and Cindy from AC Weddings as wedding coordinators. I've spent an extensive amount of time shopping around on Yelp for the right professionals to do the job and meet our standards. Amanda and Cindy have done more and exceeded my expectations in wedding planning. These two ladies are young, fast, motivated, ready to work, diligent, creative, responsive to emails/calls/text messages, and they'll attempt to make the best recommendations as possible. Just like any event, things can go wrong and lead to stress. Our wedding event consisted of 500+ guests and Amanda/Cindy were able to step up and bring their "A-Game" in our special day. Lastly we appreciate how they made the effort to show up on time at rehearsal, food tasting, & wedding event. I'm planning to keep these ladies in close contact and highly recommend them to any of my friends, relatives, colleagues.... THANK YOU AC WEDDINGS AGAIN read more

I had Cindy as my wedding coordinator two weeks ago. At first, I was pending on weather or not I should hire a coordinator but it was definitely a right decision I made to have one. Cindy was really the best I've ever seen!! She is very helpful throughout the process of planning my wedding. She makes checklists for me as reminders of the to-dos, share ideas of where to buy things needed for the wedding, and she even got candles for me at a very decent price!! She is always very friendly and cheerful and I can totally feel she loves her job!! She will make sure everything is the way I wanted on my wedding day. Cindy is very organized, responsible, and professional. Having her as my coordinator I feel a lot more relaxed before and on the day of my wedding. I would strongly recommend her to everyone!! Thanks Cindy!! =)) read more

I can't describe how happy Benjamin and I were when we found AC wedding and events. Having lived in Paris for years, it has always been a dream of mine to have my wedding in Las Vegas - the crazy, fun, bling bling wedding that you see in American movies. Planning a designation wedding is certainly not easy. I had no idea where and how to start. I approached AC wedding and events and the moment I saw my planners, I knew I am in good hands. Amanda and Cindy are so professional, fun, creative, energetic and passionate. They are so patient with me and walked me through every step of the process from venue selection, to menu design to decor, etc. My wedding turned out to be everything I wanted and I cannot tell you more what a great job Amanda and Cindy did. They are not only our wedding planners, they became our friends, someone Benjamin and I will forever be grateful for. I will certainly recommend AC wedding and events to anyone because trust me, you will love them ! Amanda & Cindy, Je vous remercie de tout cœur !! read more

Cindy and Amanda truly did a wonderful job as our day of wedding coordinators. I am so glad we hired them because they really made our wedding day stress free for us and it turned out perfect. We had a big wedding party and had a pretty hectic schedule so their organization and communication was definitely a key part. Everything was on time and they managed to get us through our wedding day with true perfection. They truly went above and beyond and they didn't mind jumping in to help where ever their help was needed. Our wedding day was a celebration of our cultures and family where Catholic, Chinese and Jewish traditions were truly celebrated and they managed to help us intertwine these elements into a unique and special event without a hitch. We had a pretty tight budget and they were able to accommodate our budget by being the day of coordinators, which I suggest highly suggest to any bride or groom as a minimum must have! I truly couldn't imagine our day without them. read more

Everyone wants a one of a kind wedding banquet, and we are no exception. Cindy, the founder of AC Wedding and Events, make our dream come true. When I first met her few months ago, I knew right away that she was the wedding planner that we needed. Professionally, she is hard working, well organized, has good communication skill, and very creative. Most important of all, she is passionate about her job. She gave us many suggestions, but also guided us to think about what we truly want for our wedding. Along the way to our Big Day, she prepared to-do-list, to-bring-list and schedules for us to follow. So, we were on track. During the banquet, she was always there and made sure that everything was done properly. She is a great improviser. Creatively, she not just executed greatly of what she planned, but also what could be done even better during our banquet. We would not have such a wonderful and tears of joy wedding without her. I am highly recommend her as your wedding planner. read more
