Star was amazing, having to reschedule their wedding THREE times, due to Covid (coordinating all vendors and so much more). Her eye for color, fabrics, flowers, and bringing to life the vision of the bride and groom is a true gift! She is meticulous with details and she was so patient and kind to our family! When their 'big day' finally arrived, everything was perfect. She and her team took care of every little detail, allowing the bride, groom and families to truly enjoy such a magical day. Thank you Star!!

She took the worry out by coordinating everything and providing timelines on all the planning. As the bride of the event- this day would normally be stressful day but Star Hansen Events takes care of so much. I was floating on my wedding day. I interviewed many wedding coordinators and after speaking to her, I just knew she was the one. If you don't want to stress out on your special day then you'll love using Star Hansen Events. Thank you again Star for a magical experience.

Working with Courtney Haynes from One Sweet Day Weddings & Events was one of the best decisions we…read moremade for our wedding. I would hire her again 1000x. From start to finish, Courtney was an absolute delight to work with. She is incredibly organized, kept every detail and every person on track with ease, and did it all with such warmth, kindness, and positivity. She truly is a bright light. I am definitely not someone who was born to plan parties, so having Courtney to bounce ideas off of and guide us through the planning process took an enormous weight off my shoulders. My mom passed away a few years ago and I was afraid to plan a wedding on my own, but Courtney became more than a planner she became my friend. She made every decision feel manageable and always made us feel confident that everything was under control. On our wedding day, I never once felt stressed or overwhelmed. Every detail was executed flawlessly, and I was able to be completely present for every special moment instead of worrying about logistics. Seeing everything come together so beautifully was beyond anything we could have imagined, and that was all thanks to Courtney's incredible work behind the scenes. I also want to mention our DJ Brian (who we were able to hire alongside Courtney in a contract together). He also deserves all the praises - there was not one moment where the dance floor wasn't filled and he was SUCH a talented DJ. The online program he used to help compile our song requests was so easy to use and he was so engaging the entire time with our guests. Thank you Brian! We are so happy we trusted you as our DJ, all our family and friends raved about you.  Not to be confused with our amazing DJ - I also would love to recommend DJ Catering. Doug and Courtney have worked together for years and their teamwork was flawless. I had so many people tell us after the wedding that it was the best wedding food they have ever had, by far. And being able to rent all the tables etc through them made the process so simple.  Anyone looking for a wedding coordinator who is organized, professional, genuinely kind, and truly invested in making your day perfect, I cannot recommend Courtney and One Sweet Day Weddings & Events highly enough. She gave us the gift of being able to fully enjoy one of the best days of our lives, and for that we will always be grateful.    P.S. Courtney thank you for being the most prepared person ever and sewing my button back on my dress mid wedding we love you! You are the best. Thank you so much for being part of our story.

Coming from the mother of the grooms perspective and being a little old school, I didn't initially grasp the hiring of a Wedding Coordinator, however, it was the best decision that they made...... aside from getting married ;) Courtney allowed me to be involved (bride and groom approved) and she was kind, gracious and meticulously organized and kept me in the loop without missing a beat. Everything from start to finish was better than I could have imagined or hoped for. She is truly a special person as well as incredibly professional.

What we can tell you is that this company is a bomb! They communicated before, during, and even after the event so clearly there were no room for errors. At the event, they kept everything on time constantly touching base with us so we knew what was happening This is exactly what you want in a wedding coordinator, they do the work you enjoy your event. If you truly want to have your event, go smoothly, enjoy yourselves and not worry about anything. This is the company to hire!

Samantha is very organized, has great attention to detail, and prepares in advance to make your wedding day/week as stress free as possible. She is very knowledgeable and any question I had regarding my wedding she would have a great suggestion or answer to. On our wedding day, she made sure everything was running on time. She is efficient while also bringing a calming energy to your day, which is exactly what I needed. She was able to execute our vision perfectly, and we couldn't have gone through our wedding process without To Be Loved Events. I would highly recommend Samantha and her team to anyone getting married in the LA area.

Fran was absolutely amazing as our day-of wedding coordinator in Santa Barbara. From the moment we…read morestarted working with her, she was caring, organized, and always made sure everything went smoothly. On the day of the wedding, she checked in with me (the bride) multiple times to ensure I felt comfortable and relaxed, which meant so much. Fran also had an assistant who helped with the setup at the ceremony location and dinner venue. She coordinated everything at the courthouse for our ceremony and then seamlessly transitioned to the dinner venue, ensuring everything was set up perfectly. Fran's attention to detail and dedication truly made the day stress-free, and I can't thank her enough for her support and expertise. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a wedding coordinator!!

The first impression I got was from her timely email response to my inquiry. From her email response it was clear she had done her research. She read and explored our wedding website and incorporated personal touches in her email response that coincided with the information she learned about us from our wedding website. I was already impressed. Next, I was grateful to learn that she was extremely flexible with her wedding packages, open to tailoring a packet unique to our needs. I was also happy to learn that she was not charging us any lodging or travel fees - other coordinators were asking for an arm and a leg in this particular area. Once we signed, she immediately started to work on our wedding. She wasted no time. She was organized and got us information promptly. She was also very earnest about my husband and I texting her with any and all questions. At one point she mentioned that we had not taken advantage of this service, as much as we should have. When your wedding coordinator is inviting you to reach out more frequently . . . well, I can't stress enough how comforting and encouraging this was to hear. She took on so many useful tasks. She coordinated conference calls with our vendors, put together a detailed timeline, she and her staff decorated our reception and ceremony venue like a dream, she handled all vendors and coordinated timely set up, she was present at both our walk through at the reception venue and the rehearsal at the ceremony venue, she made available extra decor/misc items (flower girl basket and ring bearer pillow) that she has collected over time, and more. I can't thank Fran enough for her amazing work.

My husband and I got married in September and really glad we went with Mia Bella to help us with…read moreour wedding at Walnut Grove. We first spoke to Katie for an initial call and she was really knowledgable and friendly that I was sad to hear we would be working with another coordinator, but Emily happily jumped on a call to ease any worries I may have had. We went with the Month of Coordination service which allowed us to do most of the planning ourselves (most of our vendors were locked in early on, but MB provides a lovely list of vendors they've worked with in case it's needed). Emily had us fill out a very detailed questionnaire (you can tell they know what they're doing with the questions being asked) and went over every detail with us, including areas we were still figuring out. She was available for any questions I had as well leading up to the day, made sure to reach out to all of our vendors with the master timeline, and even provided some guidance for my cousin that was officiating for the first time. A big bonus is how many weddings they've coordinated at Walnut Grove that they're very familiar with the venue and the folks from Command Performance Catering. Emily led us through rehearsal the day before and made sure the actual wedding day went smoothly. She made it possible for us to focus on enjoying the day with our friends and family, but still keep on schedule with her gentle reminders.

We held our wedding at Walnut Grove and it was clear that Emily knew what she was doing, especially at that venue! I am definitely a more anxious bride and had many questions, emails, texts. Emily responded to each one with so much grace and expertise. Wedding planning can be isolating at times because there is so much to do - but I really felt like I had a partner in Emily. She was so responsive and enthusiastic! Her excitement and calm attitude carried me in moments I wanted to give up wedding planning altogether. On our wedding rehearsal - our bridal parties all remarked at how pleasant yet professional Emily was. She really made sure everyone knew what they were doing. Which was especially difficult because we had a bridal party of about 20+ people! On the day of the wedding, we had very strong winds (at an all outdoor venue) and I was blissfully unaware of the chaos occuring. But Emily and her assistant Katie handled the situation so well. Whenever Emily checked in with me regarding things that were not going to plan, she had so much confidence and peace that it was easy for me to make quick decisions. I can really say I was present throughout the wedding, and focused on getting married! Everything else, Emily handled so beautifully. I am forever grateful to Emily and Mia Bella Weddings and you will not regret having them on your vendor team!

I cannot say enough good things about this woman. She was born to do this! Her years of experience make her confident and beyond competent in all she does and her genuine passion for her work shows through in every thoughtful detail she executes.

She'll even call you instead if she thinks it would be more efficient. 2) Preferred planner with our venue. She worked insanely well with our venue coordinator, which smoothed over so many details we didn't even need to be there for. 3) Mom energy. Jessica made sure my husband and I had everything we needed and more during the events - food, water, rest, shade, phones, you name it. She was super patient and respectful with accommodating our parents' requests, too. 4) Management capability. We had a big fat South Asian wedding consisting of 4 events over 2 days with a thousand moving parts. Jessica coordinated all the vendor contracts and on-site set up. She and her husband themselves were present for the duration of all events, which made all the difference. This is the person you want when something goes wrong. From having an emergency photographer on speed dial to adjusting the timeline on the spot, Jessica kept things in motion. She brought our visions to life, whether it was through decor mockups, adding sticker decals to our welcome mirror, or negotiating quotes and extra setup time & venue space. My most favorite memory is Jessica texting me photos and videos of the Baraat celebration, which the bride is not part of. Our family has made a connection with Jessica for life, even far beyond the wedding.

Additionally, because we used their rental equipment, their staff ensured everything was set up exactly according to our instructions. I want to specifically highlight our wedding day coordinator, Jennifer. She was terrific and served as a calming influence throughout the day, ensuring everyone was where they needed to be.
