    Sepali and her team helped us with our three-day Nepali-Hindu wedding in February and I've been…read moretrying to come up with the words to describe how INCREDIBLE their coordination and support was ever since! Sepali was the first person we booked during the wedding planning process and she connected us to a whole host of vendors plus venues. We could not have been happier! This network is a solid team of individuals that really care about delivering the best wedding possible! Process: Planning started about a year in advance and throughout the year, I loved our weekly phone calls! We each had our lists of questions and action items to run through with each other and that helped our process move forward. Sepali worked with all of our vendors behind the scenes and had regular conversations with them that she'd update us on during our scheduled calls. She was there for us for all our questions throughout the week and especially as we got closer to our wedding. Closer to our wedding week, Sepali connected with a number of vendors to bring our vision of having a custom Kathmandu/Nepal skyline for our Sangeet to life! She was pivotal in making this happen. During the wedding: Sepali and her team of assistants (shout out to Radhika, Dee, and Neha!) took care of us from A to Z. Literally making sure we were fed (bringing us plates of appetizers and dinner), hydrated, sleeping, taking all the photos we'd wanted to take, and so much more. It was like being taken care of by friends! One of the moments I will be most grateful to them for is during our wedding ceremony, there was a misunderstanding with the priest for bridal/groom entrances and exits. Sepali and her team leapt into action to resolve this and allow me to make a second bridal entrance with my closest friends/family plus dhol which resulted in one of the sweetest memories. We will forever be grateful to Sepali and her team for running our wedding week with such grace, kindness, and care! Thank you!

    I would not recommend Events by Sepali to Satan himself…read more This review is based entirely on my personal experience as a paying client for our May 2025 wedding. I'm sharing it so other couples, especially in the South Asian community, can make an informed decision before trusting this vendor with one of the most important days of their lives. THE SHORT VERSION - If your goal is to: Set your (and your family's) hard-earned wedding savings on fire Add massive stress, confusion, and chaos to what should be a joyful planning process Scramble at the last minute to save your own wedding from someone you paid to help ...then by all means, book Events by Sepali. For everyone else: RUN. TIMELINE & ENGAGEMENT We reached out in early 2025 for day-of coordination for our May wedding. We had already secured our venue and vendors. All we needed was a professional coordinator to pull everything together, manage logistics, and keep the timeline on track. Instead, we got: "Planning calls" that were often late, missed, or rescheduled and NEVER actually productive or involved any planning. Excuses instead of accountability. No clear structure, no detailed plan, and no confidence that anything was actually getting done. UNPRODUCTIVE PLANNING & NO DELIVERABLES Whenever we asked for something concrete, like a finalized timeline or vendor coordination details, we were: Given "homework" that felt like busywork, not meaningful progress Asked for things that weren't urgent priorities Left feeling less confident after each interaction MONTHS went by with: No real timeline No confirmed day-of plan No introductions to any "team" members that were kept being referenced No vendor calls or proactive coordination TWO WEEKS OUT: CRISIS Less than two weeks before our wedding: No vendor introductions (because they were never contacted) No communication with our full vendor team No confirmed day-of staff (because there was no staff) After I privately and respectfully raised serious concerns, we were told that, after an internal "team discussion," it would be best for her to remove herself from our wedding and issue a full refund. This decision came DAYS before our events. THE REFUND THAT NEVER HAPPENED (IN FULL) What followed over the next six months was: Delays and excuses A strange "$1 test" Zelle payment instead of promptly issuing the actual refund Repeated promises with no meaningful follow-through As of writing this review, we still have not received the full refund she agreed to provide. In my opinion, walking away at the eleventh hour and then failing to honor that commitment shows a serious lack of professionalism and integrity. INDUSTRY & COMMUNITY FEEDBACK After this experience, we spoke with other vendors and former clients and heard similar stories: Overpromising and under-delivering Last-minute chaos "Sepali is always the last vendor in, first vendor out" Reliance on loosely assembled, ad hoc help instead of a consistent, trained team We also learned some vendors are hesitant to speak publicly because they rely on referrals. That alone is telling. From our vantage point, the "team" did not appear to be a stable professional staff. We heard about freelancers and even requests to "borrow" staff from other vendors, completely misaligned with what you expect when hiring a professional coordinator for your wedding. THE REAL COST Because of this situation: We had to scramble and hire new, unvetted coordinators, communicate with vendors, and hastily put together a timeline at the last minute at a higher cost. In fact our total costs for the wedding went by 30%, AT LEAST, due to Sepali's action's alone. We endured completely avoidable stress in the days leading up to our events We lost both time and money dealing with someone who, in our experience, did not deliver on promises and did not resolve the situation appropriately And based on my personal experience, think very carefully before trusting this vendor with your wedding We trusted her with our day. She exited at the last minute, did not make things right, and left us to fix the damage ourselves. Couples deserve better. Families deserve better. Your wedding is too important to risk. FINAL VERDICT If you are considering Events by Sepali: Just dont, stop and walk - RUN. You are better off letting an intern or high school volunteer use your big day as a capstone project for free. People like Sepali that cause this much pain to a newly married couple deserve to burn in the reddest fire in hell.

    We met Eliza when touring a venue for our wedding that required everything to be brought in. She…read moredid not sell us on anything and when we were asking about how the set up would be, she shared that she had experience at this venue and that she was a planner. We followed up to see what wedding planning packages she had and safe to say this was the best decision made. Eliza, Tammy + Team provided the full service for our wedding. We hired them for planning, design, coordination, rentals, and florals and it made life so much easier. I had the best experience with Eliza and team with our weekly meetings for a few months to align on all the details. She understand and appreciated our mixed cultural background and how we wanted to incorporate elements of this for a Persian and Vietnamese wedding. I have always heard wedding planning to be stressful but safe to say my experience was the best and the day of the wedding went beautifully. Nothing ever goes to plan and I'm really happy Eliza and her team are experienced enough to adjust to last minutes changes such as guest no shows, etc. She captured our vision perfectly and I'm already thinking of future events I would plan with Bel Events again!

    Horrible experience, stay away!…read more This is a review for Eliza at BEL Events for her wedding planning services. We met Eliza at our venue 8 month before our wedding date. During the first session she presented herself well, and she talked and bragged a lot about her 18 yrs of experience in event planning and stories about how she handles wedding situations. So, we thought she is the right event planner for us and signed a contract. After signing the contract and making the payment, she was very hard to find and we did not see the expected action from her side, and every time we followed up, her response was: "don't worry I will manage everything before the wedding day". We were asking for the basics of planning such as timeline, vendor recommendations (a few to choose from) and communications (which was part of the contract) but not no action except a quote of her own rental service. We were getting closer to the wedding date and her lack of action made us so worried and very frustrated. Eventually we had to get involved and did almost 90% of the work ourselves. She was very hard to find but even when we could talk to her, she would create more unnecessary problems to an extant that my wife had panic attacks after a few meetings we had with her. 2 month before our wedding she caused so much anxiety and frustration that we decided to end our contract with her and find another planner. Thankfully, our new planner was amazing and our Wedding planning went very smooth after that, and the event was as wonderful as we could imagine! With way lower cost than what Eliza had proposed! After I requested to cancel the contract she disappeared and never responded to our emails, which is very unprofessional. Here is a list of a few issues from our experience of working with here: 1- Accessibility: every time we had a question or needed to talk to her, it was taking several days until she gets back to us. With irrelevant excuses, like she would show me her busy google calendar! 2- Push to use her own services as vendors: Per her contract she had to suggest different vendors so we can choose. But since she has rental and flower services, she was arguing so much to stop us from even looking at other options! She charges unnecessarily expensive! By doing a little research, we found our vendors and saved at least 50% with same or better quality! 3- Nonsense arguments and rude attitude: In many occasions she was just insisting on holding the event the way SHE wants, without paying attention to our request or desire. Every time we requested something, her answer was: "I don't want MY event to be that way or I don't want MY guests to be that way"!!! With a condescending attitude emphasizing that "I have 18 yrs of experience and I know what to do"!!! Any simple request would become a long story and unnecessary argument. In one occasion my wife requested that guests throw flower petals while walking out of aisle, and she immediately said: "No!, you can't do that, I don't want my cleaning crew spend time on cleaning the petals"!!!! In another occasion Eliza was insisting on only using her recommended valet service (which was quoting more than double the price of the service we eventually used) and on top of it she was forcing us to rent extra parking lot out of venue and pay extra for shuttle service!!!! While the venue had enough capacity! And when I respectfully said: I am confident that the venue has enough capacity for parking, she got very angry and said: "in that case tell all your guests to use UBER and they can't drive their own car"!!! It was a nightmare working with BEL Events and I don't recommend her service due to lack of professionalism and decency in her business.

Every little detail from our specialty rentals, florals, and decor came to life thanks to her. As I started planning out more of the inspiration board and putting photos together, I knew I wanted my wedding to be elegant, classy, and timeless. That's when I got the vision to make my wedding into a 2000s rom com vibe. The idea was to have everything be simple and delicate but still enhancing the botanical garden. You could feel the love radiating in the room and admiration for all the thoughtful details that came into the big wedding day! It was truly the best day ever thanks to Fetelle Designs! They are worth every penny, I wouldn't have survived this wedding journey without them. Even though I didn't work with Nikki personally, she handles all the social media marketing and I just want to acknowledge how much she kills it on there. The way she will hype you up through your bridal era and all the photos from your wedding festivities is truly so sweet. We love females that empower and uplift other females so go support this women-owned business! These people are more than just quality vendors; they are kind and genuine human beings that will make an impact on the couple's life in such a positive way. Thank you again to these lovely ladies!

    Thank you Nikki from Fetelle, for executing the wedding day of our dreams. Nikki helped us with…read moreboth the design and coordination of our wedding day. From start to finish she has kept us organized and on task during the months leading up to our wedding. As far as design, I gave her some overall inspo at the start of our meetings and during the planning process she took my inspiration and executed design elements that felt so "us" and absolutely hit the nail on the head for now we wanted our day to feel! She took extra note when I mentioned elements that were important to us, or that we knew we wanted to incorporate. These elements were very much present throughout our entire day! Nikki also put us in touch with various incredible, local OC vendors such as our baker, photo-booth, and stationery vendor. I can genuinely say it was such a pleasure to work with each of her recommended vendors, and I would love to work with them again anytime! Nikki, our wedding day turned out beyond our imagination and we truly couldn't have done it without you. Regardless of what goes right or what goes wrong when planning a wedding, the process can be daunting with so many different decisions to be made. A trusted & experienced planner is such a must! Bobby and I are eternally grateful for you!

    Abby is an absolute rockstar wedding planner! Where do we even start? From our very first call with…read moreAbby, we knew she was different. She wasn't just trying to sell us a package - she genuinely wanted to get to know us as a couple, our story, and the kind of vibe we wanted our wedding to have. That first impression stuck with us. Over the next two years of planning, Abby and her team brought our ideas to life and helped to make our dream wedding a reality. Design: We told Abby we wanted an "East Meets West" theme that blended our cultures in a way that felt modern and elegant, a tough balance that could've easily come off as cheesy in if executed poorly. But Abby nailed it of course, her design sense is unreal. From color palettes and floral choices to the way she tied together modern décor with cultural elements, everything was cohesive and elevated. She has an incredible eye for detail and always found creative, out-of-the-box ways to make our ideas work. The end result was a wedding that felt truly felt like us! Communication: Throughout the entire process, Abby and her team were consistently on top of communication. She kept us updated between meetings, sent friendly reminders, and made sure we were always aligned on next steps. It's easy for things to slip through the cracks when planning something this big, but Abby kept everything organized and stress-free. We never once felt out of the loop, she was always calm, professional, and genuinely fun to talk to. Vendor Management: Abby's vendor management skills are next level. She has deep connections and knows everyone in the wedding world. When we needed vendors for flowers, desserts, or décor, she already had a curated list of the best options with pros and cons ready for us. Some of our vendors were booked more than a year in advance, but Abby and her team were always on top of follow-ups, contracts, and logistics. By the time the big day arrived, every vendor was perfectly coordinated. It really felt like we had assembled the Avengers of wedding vendors! Working Style: We can't say enough about how enjoyable it was to work with Abby and her team. They're so friendly, positive, and genuinely care about their couples. You can tell they love what they do and that they actually enjoy working together - it felt like they were more of friends than coworkers. Whenever unexpected hiccups came up (and they always do in wedding planning), Abby handled them with grace and a sense of humor. She's done hundreds of weddings, so she always had the experience to guide us to make informed decisions. It was so fun working with the entire team and it made the stressful process of wedding planning feel less stressful. Execution: This is where Abby and her team truly shine. Planning is one thing, but executing flawlessly is another and they did it all seamlessly. From coordinating vendors to keeping our timeline on track, they were everywhere and nowhere all at once, putting out fires behind the scenes before we even knew they existed. The day flowed perfectly. At the end of the night, we were blown away to see how they had already packed up all our belongings, made sure our ride was ready, and tied up every little loose end without us lifting a finger. That level of thoughtfulness really showed how much they care. Budget & Financial Management: The truth is weddings are expensive, and it's easy for costs to spiral if you're not careful. Abby was phenomenal at keeping everything organized and transparent. She tracked every expense, set reminders for upcoming milestone payments for vendors, and even handled tipping for all our vendors so we didn't have to stress about it on the big day. What really stood out was her honesty and foresight -- anytime a decision could push us beyond our budget, she proactively flagged it and walked us through the financial trade-offs before we committed. Thanks to her meticulous tracking and planning, there were zero surprises at the end. Everything was clearly outlined and accounted for, which gave us complete peace of mind. In short, Abby and her team are the best in the business. They bring design expertise, organization, and heart to every step of the process. You'll see what we mean once you have the first introductory call with her. She's the kind of planner who truly loves what she does, doesn't settle for anything less than perfect, and it shows in every detail. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a top class wedding planner!

As my wife and I were planning our wedding we both knew we wanted a team to support and guide us through the planning process. Working with Abby and Amanda definitely made the entire wedding planning process seamless. From our very first meeting they really helped put things into focus and laid out a clear milestones and goals throughout. On the day of our wedding and weeks leading up to it, Abby and Amanda ensured that our decorations and everything came out according to plan. Despite us throwing any changes or last minute requests their way. My wife and I had absolutely nothing to worry about and was able to enjoy our wedding completely stress free.

A huge, heartfelt thank you to Breanna, who was an absolute rockstar throughout the entire process. She was not only incredibly professional and detail-oriented, but also so kind, sweet, and genuinely invested in making our day special. Any time we had a request or wanted to make changes, she was quick to respond and made everything happen effortlessly. It really felt like she was on our team every step of the way. Food was also great and plentiful. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and are so grateful to the Wedgewood team--especially Breanna (and shoutout also to our event captain Lily) --for making our wedding day so memorable. We loved the surprise at our grand exit, thank you!! Highly, highly recommend this location & their services. If you're looking for a wedding venue, they should definitely be at the top of your list!

Our wedding day was absolutely magical - better than we could have ever dreamed or planned for. Speaking of planning, the wedgewood team was phenomenal to work with from start to finish. We toured the venue with Breanna, worked with Sierra on all of the details and planning, and Maya and Kimberlyn helped answering questions when we'd call and text - the entire staff were really there for us every step of the way and we loved working with them all. Not only were they super helpful, detailed, and organized, but also so kind and so fun to work with! We feel incredibly lucky and grateful. Day of the wedding, Sierra (day of coordinator) and Lily (banquet captain) went above and beyond to ensure our special day was absolutely perfect. They were so awesome that even our guests were commenting on how sweet they both were! That made us so happy to hear. The all-inclusive concept made our lives SO much easier and the best part is that their preferred vendors were so awesome too. Shout-out to Rachel at DJ Maestro and It's All About the Cake. They also have recommended vendors for everything else you may want or need! Found my hair & makeup crew and our celloist through their recommendations. CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW STUNNING THIS VENUE IS?! As is its so gorgeous - the ceremony site was in full bloom for our April wedding, the patio for cocktail hour overlooks the Saddleback mountains, and the indoor reception space comes adorned with twinkle lights and some draping that was just magical. The entire rest of the venue is warm and inviting, literally so beautiful and our guests could not stop telling us how lovely everything looked and felt. What else can I say other than THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Your team helped our dream come true. Sharing some photos from our beautiful day.

    Hiring Natalie and A Good Affair was THE BEST DECISION WE MADE!…read more If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding planner at all, hire Natalie and A Good Affair. DO IT. It is more than worth it! I got married in December 2025 in my parent's backyard in North Tustin, and people are still talking about how AMAZING our wedding day was! Yes, we have fabulous family and friends who love us, and they made our day extra special, but I'm telling you right now, the day was perfect because of Natalie and her team. The time and effort AGA went into getting to know us and our must-haves put us at ease immediately. Planning a wedding is such a collaborative process, and we walked away from every meeting feeling heard and supported. The outcome? The best day of our lives! Natalie is one of the most professional talents in her field. I'm amazed at how she comes up with her amazing visions, and then brings them to life. Her organization, clear communication, and attention to detail are unmatched. On top of that, she is very well respected in the wedding community. Everyone I came into contact with assured me I was working with the best. SPOILER ALERT: We were! Team AGA took our ideas and transformed them into a well-curated dream. Every detail was beyond what I could have ever imagined! Additionally, Team AGA's experience blew us away. The vendors they recommended were top-tier and brought the wedding day together seamlessly. From the DJ to the caterer to the florist to the HMU team, each vendor was thoughtfully chosen to meet the needs of our wedding. Team AGA truly listened to what we liked and brought together an even better vision than we could have ever hoped for! They anticipated everything, and handled day-of setbacks like pros. They created a calm and easy-going presence that set a peaceful tone for the day. Our wedding party and guests said it was the best wedding they had been to or been a part of. My husband and I felt doted on up until our wedding exit, and we still talk about how much we miss Natalie, Kayla, and Jesica. Team AGA continue to be so thoughtful and sent my sister and I flowers and sweet treats on our birthday in February. They truly became part of our family throughout the wedding planning process. If you're looking to host an event everyone will rave about for years to come, hire A Good Affair. You won't regret it.

    Where do I begin... Almost 10 years ago, my mother and I…read morehad taken a girls trip to the Montage- laguna beach. While there, we stumbled into the ball room where we stood in awe at what was at the time, one of the most beautiful wedding designs I had ever seen. My mother and I promptly asked the first person we saw who was designing this wedding and got a card for a "Natalie Good". I pocketed the card and thought- one day! Fast forward 5 years I had met Matt(my now husband) and we were moving into together. I was cleaning my room at my parents house and came across Natalie's card and put it in my purse. 3 months later, Matt proposed on a Saturday and the following Monday I called Natalie and booked her. First and foremost, Natalie is an angel on this planet. Wedding planning is so stressful and I never had to worry about a single thing, she went above and beyond to make sure I was not stressed and happy. She is more than just our wedding planner and over the 3 years we planned my wedding (thanks covid...), she became my friend and someone who I adore Second, when going down this road, I think trusting your planner/wedding team is extremely important to make sure the process is seamless and smooth. I can tell you that without a doubt, I trust Natalie and her team implicitly! I trusted them so much that I let them run free on the design for my wedding and I could not have been happier! Everything was perfect and so gorgeous- from the table design to the flowers, everything was flawless and it was so amazing to watch her vision come to life. It's been 3 months and I am still getting calls and compliments from all of our guests and even friends of guests who weren't there but saw pictures. She is insanely talented and has an unbelievable list of vendors that are just as talented. We even had a silent disco at our wedding and it was a hit! Third, her team is awesome. The women who helped me specifically- Ellie, Kennedy, and Maddy- where next level professional and so helpful. There were nights where I would be up at midnight and text Ellie and she would always answer and talk me down. Kennedy and Maddy were running around on wedding day making sure I was hydrated and fed and happy. Everything about A Good Affair is top notch and I could not be more grateful or fortunate to have had them design, plan and make our dream wedding a reality. I cannot recommend them enough if you are looking for a team to take your wedding to the next level and who will be there every step of the way to make your dreams come true!
