Thank goodness we didn't and had the awesome chance to work with Ann of Ann J Kim! Leading up to the wedding, she was thoroughly helpful AND very talented as well-- she designed and created my bouquet, made the bridesmaid bouquet (which my husband designed! :)), made the boutineers, as well as designing the flower arrangement on our sweetheart table! And that was a very last minute situation because my husband and my original ideas for those out of season flowers were not going to work once we visited the Flower market in downtown LA with her. Not only was she amazing with the flowers, she was completely professional and thoroughly invested in making sure my wedding went without a hitch. The day of the wedding, I was stress free (but tired from the late night and last minute items... which Ann stayed til the very end to work with us on). She did a wonderful job making sure the flow of the ceremony and reception was smooth. The most impressive part was how she handled the very last minute (day of) changes for our ceremony setup! Her thoughtfulness in how I would feel as a bride walking down an actual aisle was taken into consideration as she collaborated with the onsite day of coordinator for our venue. Super professional and very flexible!! Her warm demeanor and constant smiling also eased my stress as we were planning the last details. Those things about her also, calmed my nerves the day of our wedding and made me feel like everything was in complete control. Any bride who is getting married, no matter what stage the planning is in, needs to hire Ann for their wedding planing! The only reason for not wanting to is if the bride actually likes to be stressed out!

She is professional, thorough, and a master at managing the toughest of personalities ie those family members who want their say in the wedding details. She is problem-solver and creative when it came to incorporating different ideas and visions of what I wanted for my wedding. She took charge of bugging my husband to get his list of things done and I was even able to relax the day prior to the wedding to escape for a massage. If there were any hitches or issues at my wedding, I didn't notice because she had it all handled. Do you want a stress free wedding? That's what I got. She's the best!!!

If I needed to pick a coordinator for a personal event of my own or for my daughters or sons wedding, I definitely would go to Rona! Thank you Rona for always being so amazing to work with!

She goes above and beyond at every twist and turn and gives you peace of mind through it all:) From first conversation to after the big day Katie (Wedding Kate) was extremely professional, easy to communicate with, calm and collected, and full of nothing but positive energy. 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. Katie was a DREAM COME TRUE and I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a planner who truly cares and will create for you the BEST day of your life. On the day of our wedding my husband and I both felt calm, present, and were able to enjoy every moment because of all Katie and her amazing team did to ensure it went smoothly and flowed perfectly. Also, ALL the vendor recommendations and connections she gave us were exactly what we were looking for and all went above and beyond to do an incredible job for us. The planning of a wedding and the leading up to the big day can be overwhelming and complex but Wedding Kate makes it honestly so fun and such a positive and exciting journey. I am always going to be grateful for Katie and all the energy and heart she put into creating such an unforgettable and special wedding experience for us.

After following Rachel for years on Instagram (I've always been wow-ed by her dessert tables), I…read morefinally decided to hire her for my baby shower. That was honestly the best decision ever! First off, working with her was a dream. She was always extremely attentive when it came to communication, both via text and email. I don't think I'd go more than 24 hours without hearing from her, which is something rare now a days for some reason. Also, she breaks down prices concisely, which I really appreciated because there were no hidden fees or surprises when it came to the grand total. She also works with you from start to finish, scheduling an initial planning meeting (this took place at our venue) where she listens and jots down what you expect as well as adding her own artistic design/thought. She even took charge and kept in constant communication with my venue manager, which took a lot of stress of my shoulders. The day of the shower, the dessert table was absolutely beautiful! The desserts were intricate, unique, DELICIOUS, and you can just tell she put in so much effort when it came to every aspect. I got so many compliments on this. I highly recommend Rachel J Special Events, Inc. for any and all occasions! She's just such a professional at what she does.

She was on-task, diligent and professional --responsive to my texts and emails throughout the process. Mia provided a wealth of experience and referrals to our event, including a dj, Photo Booth and linens. We also utilized her florist services. She made corsages, boutonnières and my bridal bouquet, as well as the florals and decor throughout the ceremony and reception. The personal touches were amazing, she took me to the flower district to get an idea of my dream bouquet, followed by a trial which I'm so glad we did since we ended up editing. I thought I didn't need it but thankful that we did--she created charcuterie boards for cocktail hour. She's so thoughtful about everything. Mia is a delight to work with, and highly recommend. When life gives you lemons, hire Lemon Sauce Events to help and take care of you along the way, of your big day.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I want to share my experience so other families can plan…read morecarefully for important events. I hired Karina as the DJ for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah in May 2022. Unfortunately, several things during the event did not match what we had discussed in advance. There were equipment issues at the beginning of the event. Only one wired microphone was brought, and it worked only within a short distance of the stage. Because of this, part of the ceremony couldn't happen in the space we had planned until the venue provided an additional microphone. My daughter had prepared a live performance and had rehearsed the sound beforehand. During the event there were sound problems and the music played over her track, which made it difficult for guests to hear her clearly. We had also shared our music preferences ahead of time, but much of the music played did not match the style we requested. Some additional services listed on our invoice (such as glow face/body painting and special items for the Bat Mitzvah girl) were also not provided. After the event I reached out privately to discuss these concerns but did not receive a response. On a positive note, the MC did a great job keeping the kids engaged and helped maintain a fun atmosphere on the dance floor.

Karina brought an incredible level of energy and enthusiasm that kept every single guest--kids, teens, adults, and grandparents--on the dance floor the entire night. The party was an absolute hit; the vibe was electric, fun, and joyful from the moment she started until the very last song. What really set her apart were the amazing production elements she brought. The **glowing balloon party** was pure magic--beautiful, colorful LED balloons everywhere that lit up the room and created such a wow factor for photos and the kids' excitement. And that **cool smoke-shooting gun**? Total game-changer! It added such dramatic, high-energy moments during the big dances and entrances--everyone was cheering and screaming with delight. It felt like a professional concert-level experience, not just a regular party. Karina is not only super talented with music selection (perfect mix of current hits, classics, and Jewish favorites that got everyone involved), but she's also warm, professional, and genuinely cares about making the night special. She read the room perfectly, kept the flow seamless, and made sure my daughter felt like the star of the show. If you want your simcha to be talked about for years to come, book DJ Karina--you won't regret it. She turned what could have been a nice event into an epic, unforgettable celebration. Mazel tov and thank you, Karina--you're the best! Highly recommend--5 stars aren't enough!
