She guided us every step of the way, kept us on schedule, and made sure every detail was executed perfectly. We had a Chinese tea ceremony during the morning and she was very patient with our traditions and super efficient getting everyone ready to be served tea next. I-Jou is truly amazing at what she does and helped bring our vision to life. She is incredibly thoughtful and made sure we were well taken care of every step of the way. During our welcome photos, we were sweating, and she continuously checked in on us, bringing water and drinks and even saving appetizers from cocktail hour while we were busy with photos. When we were at our sweetheart table, she went to grab us drinks from the bar and even brought us desserts from our dessert bar! I-Jou knew the right questions to ask and overall we felt well supported throughout the whole wedding planning process up until the end of our wedding day. Because of her, I was able to truly be present and enjoy my wedding day without a single ounce of stress! Which is very rare for me because I am an overthinker and stress over the little things. She was incredibly detail oriented, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making sure our day was perfect. My husband and I are so beyond grateful for her and cannot recommend her enough!

It's five stars for a reason. I-jou literally saved the day at our wedding in so many ways. I…read moredon't know how else to put it, but she is versed in the following black magic skills: 1) ability to create time 2) ability to be in four places at the same time 3) Clairvoyance. She knows what you need long before you do 4) cool under pressure - definition of 5) makes tough tasks seem effortless 6) Can change the weather for outdoor weddings. Well maybe not really but if she said she could I'd probably believe it based on all her other Mary Poppin-ness attributes 7) loves what she does She is no nonsense and her work is all business. While she is super friendly, if you are an overall gushing, emotional bride there may be some personality clash but she approaches her craft pragmatically so don't get offended if she skips some of the formalities and gets straight down to business.

My husband and I wanted to plan something of a wedding celebration dinner, and we knew we needed some help because we live on the other side of the country and also none of our family and friends were available to provide much support. JM Events came recommended to me by my photographer who had been in the wedding industry for over a decade. I set up a call with Lilian and we went over my vision for what kind of event I was envisioning and she discussed what kinds of services JME could provide for our event and also shared that they had planned and coordinated similar type events in the recent past. After our call, I also had meetings with other event coordination companies and it was clear to me that JM Events would be the best fit for us as they seemed the most competent and professional. I also liked that JM Events was based nearby our venue. Two months ahead of the event, Alexis began working with us. We tossed around a lot of high-level ideas we were considering and Alexis provided insight on whether or not or how they would work within the constraints of our venue and timeline. Alexis and Lilian also had vendor recs at the ready at different price points whenever we needed them as well. Over time we narrowed down which ideas we wanted at our wedding and Alexis provided invaluable insight on wedding logistics and restaurant service ops that we should consider in our planning. She attended our venue walkthrough with us so that we could begin to visualize placement for different "stations" at our wedding and also served as our advocate with the various vendors we had hired. She also checked in with us and the vendors over increments in time so that we met all of our venue deadlines and to ensure that all of the vendors were in lockstep with what we were planning.  The week of the event, Alexis worked to make sure to send out event confirmations with all of our vendors so that each vendor was prepared to arrive on time and any accommodation our vendors needed were provided. This was so impressive that my make-up artist asked me where I had found Alexis! Alexis and Lillian were consummate professionals through and through, I felt supported the entire time and any question I had was met with a very considered response that only a very experienced events planning professional could provide.  Our wedding celebration was one of the best days of both my husband and my lives. We also received so many compliments on our event, like "best wedding ever" and "can I copy your entire wedding?" I was on cloud nine the whole night and in watching some of my friend's video footage I saw Alexis working in the background making sure that our timeline was executed exactly as planned.  I know certainly that without JME and Alexis, our night would not have went off as seamlessly as it did and I am so grateful for JME and their team. I am already plotting on when I can plan another party and hire JME :)

Lilian and her team are TRULY amazing. I know everybody says that, but I hope that really goes to…read moreshow the truth as to how incredible they are. My (then) boyfriend and I got engaged in February 2021, and I always knew I'd want a slightly longer engagement, just to push things out so I'd have more time to decide on what I wanted and how I wanted it. From the start, however, we already knew we wanted to work with Lilian and her team. Given that I had more time, somewhat wanted the challenge of planning a wedding, and felt pretty prepared, we opted for the month-of services. Once we started working with Lilian, our wedding-planning life honestly became sooo much easier. I feel like we had a pretty good idea and plan for everything we needed, yet, Lilian still, easily, made things even better. There were so many things we didn't know we needed. She was so thorough, organized, and thoughtful and knowing she and her team would be by our side to finalize the details and (basically) walk us down the aisle, really put us at ease. Her communication was spot on - not just with us, but with our vendors, and with handling any (not unexpected) last minute changes. She was so easy to reach and communicate with, and was always so patient and efficient. She knew what we wanted, what we needed, and offered suggestions along the way. On our big day, her team was just as great - from the pre-wedding set up, making sure our bridal party had everything we needed, even helping us order boba - Lilian had everything all thought out. She checked in with us throughout the busy night, and helped wrap things up seamlessly. We truly couldn't imagine a more perfect day, and would not have had it any other way. I'd recommend her to everybody I know - for any event, big or small! Thank you JME team!

Sandra helped us narrow down our idea for our engagement session. We got engaged in 2020 which limited a lot of the fun couples normally get to experience. We shot with Sandra in June of 2021 and it made our experience finally feel real! She made our love come to light and brought tears to my eyes. She selected two locations for us after we told her what we had in mind and it was spectacular. She has the most creative eye and is a true artist. She is easy to communicate with and is very clear in her pricing. She is incredible.

They have a Bartender, security, and one thing I really loved was that they cleaned/cleared the tables. This was such a plus, made the process of cleaning so much easier.

Please continue reading and stop looking elsewhere and be completely convinced that you guys should go with MLE immediately! MLE was involved as our Day of Coordinator and planning activities 6 weeks leading up to the big day. Cindy's experience, consideration, professionalism, and honesty (this is a huge one) made what could have been a very stressful day into a stress-free day, or least as stress free as a wedding day can get it, haha. As the days approached the big day, we were already pretty happy with MLE, but once the big day came, they completely kicked it up into high gear. They were so seamless in working in the background to make everything come together with the vendors, timing, handling of guests, etc. We had a delay due to the florist, but they handled it so well that the guests couldn't tell, only we could, and even when we tried to get involved, MLE assured us that it was taken care of, and not to worry. They even went above and beyond in moving some flowers to be better positioned around our mirror guest list, which elevated how the florist had originally planned for. They were very considerate and thoughtful for us by making sure appetizers were set aside for us while we were taking pictures, we were very pleasantly surprised to find a big bowl of our seafood items sitting at our couples table, since we definitely didn't get a chance to get to it. Throughout the night, they made a point to bring us drinks, dessert, help with a small crisis on my mom's side. I really couldn't have imagined having a better coordinator the day of, I wish I had another big event to plan, because I would absolutely go back to them for their services. AND the amazing service doesn't even stop at the wedding day! Their follow up emails to reflect back on what went wrong or what went well shows how much they care about their work. They were very meticulous in addressing any concerns we had that happened on the big day and most importantly, they were honest. They were truthful about the reasons why some things didn't go as planned, and that to us is the most important trait in a coordinator that you can trust them. In the end, they were instrumental in even getting us partial refunds from vendors because of them not holding completely true to their agreements. If you've read this to its end, you don't need to look elsewhere, hire Cindy and her team now! You won't regret it!

Shasele was our point of contact, and she was kind, thorough, and patient with us as we worked through all of our requirements and asked her a million different questions about the process. She also made sure to provide regular checklists of items to make sure we stayed on track, while also not putting too much pressure on us! Claire handled putting together a gorgeous design brief based on inspiration photos we gathered, which definitely helped as we went through the process of selecting and working with vendors--all of whom were also incredible! An important thing I also want to mention is that I had a sudden health issue flare up partway through our venue search, which set things back by a year. The team was incredibly understanding and checked in periodically while offering well wishes until I was ready to return to planning, and I deeply appreciate how patient they all were during such a difficult time. Overall we couldn't not have asked for a better planning team to work with, and we're so incredibly grateful to Mad Love Events for making our special day so perfect!

I've been following them since I was 14, and from the very beginning, I knew they would be a nonnegotiable for my wedding--and now, I can say with 100% certainty that choosing them was one of the best decisions we made. From day one, Debbie, Alondra, Stephanie, Rachel, Presilla, Frida, and Adriana poured their hearts into every single detail. They weren't just our wedding planners--they were our designers, our florists, our coordinators, our late-night therapists (yes, answering 1 AM and 2 AM texts!), and truly our fairy godmothers. Every event they touched--from our bridal shower to the big day--was pure magic. They helped us contact vendors, designed and created our stunning invitations, and even arranged florals for our bridal shower. On the wedding day itself, they were everywhere, making sure timelines were followed to the minute, guests were taken care of, vendors were managed, and every single detail was flawless. They even made sure we and our loved ones were fed, hydrated, and happy--which might sound small, but trust me, it's everything on a day like that. Austin and I didn't have to think twice about anything. They were ten steps ahead of us at all times. Their eye for detail, impeccable organization, and genuine care made this feel like the epitome of luxury service. And somehow, on top of all that, they still made us feel like family--like they were personally invested in making sure our day was unforgettable. I'm already dreaming up our next event just so we can work with them again. If you're looking for wedding planners, designers, florists--humans--who will pour their heart and soul into your day, look no further. Aquafuzion isn't just a vendor--they're a blessing.

What stood out most was their willingness to go above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. Many of our questions and concerns related to both planned/unexpected situations were always anticipated and addressed before we even had to ask.
