Where do I begin? Leora from Best Bride truly is THE BEST. Our wedding was set for May 24th, 2020…read more Everything was already planned. But of course, the pandemic hit and everything changed and nothing would be the same. Leora quickly took action, lifted our spirits and made sure that no matter what, we'd still be getting married on that date. There's no possible way to fully express my appreciation for Best Bride on our journey down the aisle. THANK YOU for putting us before anything else during those 2 weeks of planning our new wedding. You helped us completely transform my grandmother's home in Beverly Hills into the most magical wedding ceremony in a matter of 2 weeks. Even though our initial wedding dreams completely shifted, somehow this became even more meaningful for us. We were surrounded by our closest friends and family who witnessed our gorgeous Chuppah and our truly sentimental ceremony. Not only were we completely delighted by everything as is but our wedding even received tons of attention and recognition from several amazing media outlets and publications, including GRACE ORMANDE! Who could have ever dreamt of this?! Leora has an incredible team of planners, I felt so supported, so cared for. Every single one of the Best Bride staff are so professional and knowledgeable. They really know their stuff and most importantly care and do it with love, passion and patience. We hope to have a big celebration one day too when things feel a little more certain, and of course our only wish is for Leora from Best Bride and her team to help plan it for us. Thank you Leora for encouraging us to move forward in our lives and helping it be a beautiful start!

We were less than 8 weeks from our wedding date, without a venue, with more than 150 Save the Dates sent out, and uncertain if we would even be able to have any kind of ceremony in the midst of a pandemic, let alone whether that ceremony would put our family and closest friends at risk. What Best Bride did for us in such a short amount of time was truly remarkable! While we had to significantly cut down our guest count Leora made sure that every possible Covid precaution was taken to keep our family and loved ones safe while still giving us a day more magical than we ever dreamed of. Leora was also so good at calming me down during the morning stress of the day and I can't thank her enough for that! I've since recommended Leora to my best friend who also was so grateful to have her plan her dream wedding. If you're not sure where to start or who to go with choose Leora because you will not regret it!

We were so fortunate to work with Jessica from Three Little Birds not only as our wedding planner,…read morebut also for rentals, and we truly could not have done this without her and her team. We chose a partial planning package so we could collaborate closely for the months leading up to the wedding, and it made all the difference. From table layouts to glow bars and all of the creative ideas in between, Jessica helped bring everything to life and together seamlessly. Jessica and her team always found solutions that made our vision possible and wedding day stress free. We also hired a full support team from Three Little Birds in addition to Jessica, our day of planner and Bre, our coordinator, and that decision paid off in a big way. The entire Three Little Birds team kept everything running smoothly and effortlessly, setting up, moving us through the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing without a single hiccup. The event felt calm, organized, and joyful from start to finish, which allowed us to actually enjoy our day. We could not recommend Jessica and her team more highly.

We had an unbelievably disappointing experience with 3 Little Birds for our chairs and linens…read morerentals during a corporate event. The team arrived almost an hour late, several seat cushions were visibly stained and even molded, the cushion covers were not all the same color we had asked for when booking, and some of their staff were rude to us. Members of our own team had to jump in to cover cushions, tie them to chairs, and set them up to attempt an on-time event start, despite having had many other things to take care of for the event. At one point, our own executive leadership, who had arrived to attend the event, were helping assemble chairs just to keep things moving. Post event, we expressed our extreme disappointment, and after some back and forth over the course of weeks, the company did acknowledge the issues and agreed to provide a partial refund. Unfortunately, despite months of follow-up and repeated assurances, it has now been over FIVE months, and the refund has still not been provided. I normally prefer to handle situations like this privately and give disappointing companies the benefit of the doubt. But the lack of follow-through and accountability has been incredibly frustrating here, so much time has been wasted with nothing to show for it. I am sharing our poor experience, complete with photos of how the rental items arrived, so others can make an informed decision when considering booking with this company.

He was a true professional as MC and DJ for our ceremony and wedding reception. Jimmy has a keen eye on the vibe of everything going on and knew exactly how to work the crowd and keep the energy high. We also used his team for Month of Coordination and Photo Booth. We cannot say enough good things about April as our Coordinator and the support she provided. The team went above and beyond expectations, were prepared for anything that happened, and gave us such great guidance leading up our big day. Our wedding went just as we imagined it and so much of it was thanks to Jimmy and his team! With his experience, he was able to make anything we could think of happen, no hesitation.

So we reached out to Emily with around 1-2 weeks before our target date. After we paid the initial fees ($250 for the ceremony + another $250 for the confidential wedding license), she set up a phone call to get to know us and helped with the details such as where it'd be, when, and if we wanted to say our own vows. My wife and I are pretty shy, so she just had us repeat the vows, which helped a lot with my anxiety. Emily was very friendly, professional, and very easy to work with. I highly recommend!

One Darling Day was by far my first choice when we started planning our wedding. I had followed her…read moreaccount on Instagram for some time before we were engaged and I loved how original, eclectic and intimate all of Claudia's weddings looked. We booked her early-she was our first vendor booked-which was the best call as I loved having someone I could go to to help me verify vendors, suggest design options, and answer other random planning questions throughout my 1 1/2 year-long engagement. Most notably was how Claudia handled the extreme weather that caused us to have to change venues, 2 days before our wedding. She very nimbly helped me translate our existing layout and communicate our decisions and preferences to the venue. I'm so thankful that she orchestrated an outdoor ceremony, which was my goal, and designed the most beautiful interpretation of my dream in a completely new space. Finally, Claudia was kind and lighthearted throughout the entire process, but has exactly the type of direct forward, take-charge manner that is so needed when coordinating a wedding! Claudia-thank you for everything! I already miss working with you!

MJ is simply the best wedding planner you could ask for! Our wedding was everything we had ever…read moredreamed of and so much more! We still can't believe how perfect the day was, and it's all thanks to MJ! She is one of the most efficient, dedicated, and caring people we've ever met, and we feel so lucky to have been able to work with her. MJ's attention to detail is truly remarkable (even to the point of tucking in my groom's shirt before every dance!), and her keen eye for design and decor made all the difference. We were blown away by how beautiful the ceremony lawn and reception ballroom turned out to be - our jaws literally dropped when we walked in! You can feel how much love and effort MJ puts into everything she does, going above and beyond to bring our vision to life. We are forever grateful for the hard work MJ put in to make our day so magical! We cannot recommend MJ enough for any event planning!

If you want a planner you can trust with GREAT instincts, who will execute your vision flawlessly and take care of even the little things you'd never think of--GO WITH MJ & BLUSH EVENTS. You'll thank yourself later!

He also knows how to work with a crowd, getting guests excited and creating an awesome, positive fun vibe. It goes without saying he was also super easy to work with, very communicative. Literally had absolutely no issues and my guests all commented on how great he was. Highly recommend working with James for any event. You will definitely not regret it.

Just wanted to sing praises for the amazing support Alexis provided for our wedding dinner at Bar…read moreChelou. 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!

HIRING GRACE WAS THE BEST DECISION WE MADE FOR OUR WEDDING!…read more After extensive research, I reached out to Grace from Unveiled by Grace with only a few months left to plan our 250-guest wedding. Not only did Grace plan our wedding in that short amount of time (about 4 months) but she also planned our rehearsal dinner and welcome party the day before. Somehow, she made everything feel effortless. The wedding was beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of. Grace handled EVERYTHING, from venue coordination, food, drinks, logistics, rentals, linens, signage, party favors, website details, photography, videography, florals, hair and makeup and even helping secure approvals with the fire marshal for real candles and full drapery. Every vendor she recommended was incredible and together they created the absolute dream team. We had countless calls and probably millions of text messages from me, especially as a Type A bride, and Grace was patient, responsive, organized and always one step ahead. She truly understood our vision and made us feel supported throughout the entire process. Our welcome party, rehearsal dinner and wedding day were PERFECT. Honestly, beyond perfect. Guests are still telling us it was the best wedding they have ever attended. Our wedding party and immediate family kept saying not only was it the best wedding ever, but that we had assembled the best vendor team imaginable all thanks to Grace. What meant the most to me was how stress-free she made everything feel. My husband and I were actually able to enjoy our wedding day because Grace handled every big and small detail behind the scenes. She even made sure tray passes and our signature cocktails were brought to our getting-ready suite because she knew we would miss them while taking photos and doing makeup touch-ups. Those little thoughtful moments meant everything. If I could do my wedding all over again, Grace would be my very first call. Too bad she only does weddings because I would absolutely hire her again for baby showers, birthdays and anniversaries too. Even after the wedding, she still answers my random questions and checks in on us. This is probably the longest review I have ever written, but Grace deserves every word. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much, Grace. We love you sooooo much!

Planing your wedding can be a daunting task, stressful, chaotic, filled with drama, and sometimes disappointing and this is where Amber stepped in and saved us. Hiring Amber was one of the best decisions we made. Amber understood our vision and already had ideas of how to achieve them even before we officially hired her. You really cant say that about every vendor or wedding coordinator out there. For some vendors its just a contract but for Amber its creating a bond and we are grateful for that. Amber provides three different types of services depending on how much assistance you need in achieving your dream. Wedding Supervisor: http://www.amberevents.com/graphics/WeddingSUPERVISION.pdf Wedding Director: http://www.amberevents.com/graphics/WeddingDIRECTION.pdf Wedding production: http://www.amberevents.com/graphics/WeddingPRODUCTION.pdf We opted for the Wedding Director package since we already had booked some of the vendors. We needed someone to put all of our ideas together and make them work cohesively. Amber was all of that and a bag of chips. She had fantastic ideas, advice, took care of all of our vendors including the problematic ones, got us organized, gave us monthly tasks to complete, wedding day outline, rehearsal management, and the list goes on and on. Amber was very instrumental with our art deco theme ideas designing our invitation card, save the date cards, and using old luggage as part of our theme. Our wedding went off without a hitch. There were no problems with any of the vendors and they all knew what they had to do and at what time. All thanks to Amber and her amazing managerial skills and timeline mastery. We got what we wanted, to spend our wedding day with friends and family that we love stress free and most importantly smiling throughout the night celebrating our special day. Amber, Angela and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts and we don't consider you a "vendor" but a friend. Thank you for helping us make our vision and dream come true.
