Prior to reading this review, I'd like to tell you that words and examples will not be able to…read morecompare to the amazing job Lauren and her team did for our wedding. This review is for her wedding day (day-of) coordination. Prior to the wedding, Lauren had provided us a general outline of things to consider and specific items that would need to be completed by a certain time (unfortunately, my husband and I were completely terrible with these deadlines, but Lauren slowly worked on this with us.) Every time we spoke on the phone (on SEVERAL occasions), she would always ask us how we were feeling and soothe our nerves when it came down to all the details. I am all about customer service and Lauren could not have been more polite, sincere, and heart warming! Still not convinced? Let me be more concrete in the examples in which Lauren and her team handled well: - The Cake: Four Seasons agreed to do a dairy-free cake for us since my husband is allergic to dairy products; however, without dairy, the cake turned out to be a disaster. The cake had to be sent back to the pastry chef four times and almost collapsed at one point! Lauren went to bat for us! She immediately contacted the Four Seasons coordinator and straightened everything out! We got a cake, received our money back for the wedding cake and a huge apology from Four Seasons. Of course, this was all behind the scenes and Lauren told me as soon as we were done taking pictures and everything was solved! Let me say, I love how Lauren handled this situation because she made sure that the situation was under control before notifying me AND she did not keep me out of the loop (yes, I was one of those brides that wanted to know if a disaster happened). - Timing: Weddings go by so quickly, Lauren was on top of her game when it came to each minute and the timeline of our schedule! I love how organized she was when it came down to our schedule. - The Wedding Dress: My beautiful satin wedding dress was unfortunately wrinkled during transportation. Lauren and her team were trying to steam it out to no avail. With time running out, she immediately handled it with the hotel and had my dress pressed and steamed within 20 minutes. - Presence: Lauren had several people on her team. While Lauren was consistently running around, she made sure that one of her assistants was with me and my girls at all times. Yes, so many things did not go according to plan at our wedding and only people like Lauren would be able to transform all these disasters into a beautiful wedding. While my husband and I were on a very strict and limited budget, my only regret is that we did not hire Lauren as a full wedding coordinator. Thank you so much Divine Events! Words will never be enough to thank you for all that you've done. STILL not convinced? Just meet with Lauren, I guarantee you'll fall in love with her!

My husband and I were married on October 1, 2011. I just signed up for a yelp account the other…read moreweek and couldn't wait to write a review for Divine Events! We hired Lauren for the day of wedding coordination package and were more than pleased with the services she and her team provided. My husband and I had nearly 300 friends and family members in attendance for our special day. We were married at the Japanese American Cultural and Community Center's James Irvine garden. We had our reception in the courtyard in front of the Japanese American Theater. The JACCC provided a wedding coordinator, but we had personality conflicts with her. Lauren was amazing and was able to communicate with the on-site coordinator and our vendors to make sure that everything ran smoothly on our special day. Lauren met with us prior to the wedding to make sure that we knew what we needed to have done. She also communicated with our bridal party and families to make sure they also knew when and where they needed to be. Overall, if information was needed, Lauren made sure it was communicated and done so clearly. The night before the wedding, I slept easily, because I knew that we were in good hands. Upon arriving at the wedding site to get ready, I felt confident that our wedding day was going to be everything we hoped for and more. Lauren and her team made sure to take care of everything they said they would and calmly handled any problems. They handled them so well that even a year and a half later, I don't know if anything went wrong. I recommend Lauren and her team to anyone that I hear is getting married. Any bride and groom would be lucky to have their special day in the hands of Lauren and her team at Divine Events!

Lisa was super communicative and that made the entire wedding go really really smooth. The bride, groom and all of their guests had a blast, and it all started with Lisa.

This review is for Cortney's full planning service for our wedding at The Ebell of Los Angeles in…read moreMay 2026. We found her through The Ebell's preferred vendor list after securing our venue, and booked her about eight months out from our big day -- which many will tell you is on the shorter end of the planning timeline. We had a lot of work to do together over the 8 months, but Cortney made it all possible (and enjoyable as well)! Also worth mentioning - as Bay Area-based clients planning a wedding in Los Angeles, we especially appreciated how seamlessly Cortney supported us through every step of the long-distance planning process. Cortney is infectiously positive and genuinely committed to helping you execute a wedding that feels like you. We came to her with a lot of specific, unconventional ideas -- the kind that a more traditional wedding planner might have pushed back on or struggled to execute. She embraced every single one of them, helped us shape them into something cohesive, and made us feel like no vision was too much to ask for. That willingness to truly work with us rather than steer us toward something more conventional made all the difference. Every person who attended has told us it was the best wedding they've ever been to -- and as cliché as it sounds, it was genuinely the best day of our lives. We were able to be present and enjoy every moment, and on the day itself, we were told we were the most relaxed couple -- which is a direct reflection of the work we put in together with Cortney leading up to it. We also want to specifically call out the vendors she recommended: our DJ, live music, and stationery were all EXCEPTIONAL and felt completely personalized to us in a way we hadn't expected. If you're looking for a planner who is trustworthy, joyful to work with, and will champion your vision no matter how unique it is -- book Cortney. We are so grateful for her and for making this journey as beautiful as the day itself. Photos were taken by the incredible Tomasz Wagner! (IG: tomaszwagnerco)

She made the planning process simple and on the day of the wedding, she was working her butt off to make us feel so stress free. She thought of all the details that we couldn't imagine and truly made our day everything we hoped for. On top of all of that, she does this with a smile on her face and the best attitude. We truly miss working with her on a daily basis but would recommend her to ALL our family and friends who are in need of help planning their special events.

We hired Falon to be our month-of coordinator for our wedding at Millwick in March 2023, and this…read moredefinitely was the best choice we could've made in our entire wedding planning process. Falon played a huge part in making our wedding event an incredible success, and she does it all with such a contagious effortlessness and coolness that you can't help but feel that everything is going to run smoothly no matter what while she is around. In the weeks before the wedding, while my partner and I were scrambling to make sure we had all of our logistics in order, she organized everything that needed to be done in a way that was easy to manage and coordinate, and it helped bring down our stress levels a lot. We could easily see that we were working with a master in this field, and her vast knowledge and experience in wedding planning was so helpful in guiding us making decisions throughout this entire process. She also made it so easy for us to communicate with her at any time with any questions we had, and she always responded quickly. On the day of the wedding, seeing Falon in action was an awe to behold. She took on the organization and setup of all the wedding decor, made sure that all the other vendors arrived on time and had everything they needed, and expertly managed the timeline of the day, making adjustments where needed to ensure we were never too off-track. She was always calm and focused, but never felt cold or too strict. She always asked the right questions at the right times when she needed to, and even though she was handling a million things, she never made herself unapproachable if we had any questions or requests for her. Even when we had a moment during our wedding that threatened to almost drive everything wildly off-course, she remained cool as a cucumber and worked with us to course correct. She is personally responsible for allowing our wedding to surpass every expectation we had and ending up being one of the most memorable and best events we have experienced so far. It is not an exaggeration when I say that she took care of everything from beginning to end, so that we were just able to enjoy and savor the day we had planned so long for. In conclusion, if you plan on having a wedding at any of the amazing Marvimon properties, do yourself a favor and hire Falon. She is the key ingredient that will ensure that you have a successful wedding, guaranteed.

If you want the funnest wedding of your life, hiring Pop the Champagne is a no-brainer. From the…read morevery beginning, Allie was a force to be reckoned with and a fierce ally through this crazy logistical process. Then, when we were paired with Melissa for month-of coordination, it felt like working with a friend who could jump in right at that point when wedding planning starts to feel overwhelming, never-ending, and like your brain simply cannot hold one more detail. I planned a wedding with a LOT of moving pieces, weird little ideas, surprises, and details, and Melissa somehow took everything that had been living in my head for months and made it happen. By the time our wedding actually started, we completely stopped thinking about logistics or what was supposed to happen next. We were just at our wedding and it was the absolute BEST night. Everything flowed so seamlessly that my husband and I kept looking around throughout the night like little kids seeing our imagination come to life. Our friends and family have not stopped talking about how much fun they had, and we've had so many people tell us it was the most fun wedding they've ever been to. What I loved most about working with PTC is that I never felt like they were trying to turn our wedding into what a wedding was "supposed" to be. They understood what we were trying to create, embraced all of the whimsy and ridiculousness, and then gave us the structure and support to actually pull it off. Melissa gave us something I don't think you can put a price on. After spending months creating this thing, I actually got to experience it. I got to be completely present with my husband, our friends, and our family while she handled everything happening behind the scenes. Hire them. Seriously. Give them your spreadsheets, your weird ideas, your 900 moving pieces and then go enjoy your wedding. They've got you.

Dani helped us craft our wedding vision, chart it out, and then made it happen with such expertise and enthusiasm. She and her assistant Karla made the whole event so much easier to enjoy because they were ON IT. So, so, so worth it.

Plus Dani shared so many pictures and videos afterward, it's like we had a third photographer too ;)

Rain or Shine, Ingrid had us Covered!…read more I had the pleasure of working with Ingrid from Grand Entrance Affairs for a destination wedding in Utah. I was part of the hair and makeup team that traveled from California to Utah for our awesome bride and groom. Working with Ingrid was such a great experience. She handled all the travel logistics--flights, hotel, rental car for our vendor team which made everything so easy for us. We just had to show up! She was super organized, responsive, and truly went the extra mile - even checking in during the bride's hair and makeup trial to make sure things were going smoothly. She made the whole weekend run seamlessly. That weekend, the weather started out brisk and cool, then it was beautiful and sunny, then cloudy and gray with torrential rain and double digit wind speeds. And then, it snowed. For a bunch of California girls, Ingrid was the reason why we were well prepared for all of it! If you're planning a destination wedding or any special occasion, I highly recommend Ingrid and the Grand Entrance Affairs team. Top-tier communication and coordination. We can't wait to work with her and her team again.

Thank you, Ingrid, for being such a professional, organized, and genuinely kind person to work with. We truly look forward to working with you again!

Not only were they the easiest people to work with, but they absolutely NAILED everything I threw at them and so much more! Their attention to detail, creativity, vision, organization and PASSION are definitely what I loved about them the most! They coordinated everything from our vendors, contracts, and even the rehearsal dinner. The day of our wedding, they made sure that we didn't have to worry about a thing except getting married and celebrating with the people we love. I was blown away when I saw how beautiful everything came together... It was like a DREAM! So many candles, flowers and romantic drapery. It was so much better than I had ever imagined.

We loved…read moreworking with her and she made the whole wedding planning super organized and kept us on track throughout the entire process. Even the biggest ideas we had didn't phase her and she was able to tackle our requests head-on. For instance, we wanted to have a drone show at the wedding and even though Kaci said she didn't have experience working with drone vendors, she was able to help us make it happen with the vendor for our wedding. Throughout the whole process, Kaci was able to quickly find vendors that fit our budget, talk us through the entire wedding planning process, and was supportive and communicative the entire time when we needed someone to talk to. From the beginning, Kaci really cared about making our dreams come true and beyond just being a planner she felt like a great friend who's full attention was making sure our dream wedding came true. With Kaci, we got someone who is really great at coordinating and following up with multiple vendors so we didn't have get flooded with communications, designing and managing the wedding and timeline so we didn't fall behind leading up to the wedding, and, above all, supporting and running the show the day of along with her assistants Giselle and Adrienne so we were not stressed and we could just celebrate the entire time. With Kaci and her team, we definitely didn't feel any pressure and felt confident that our wedding would go smoothly and it became the best night of our lives. We also needed help planning our engagement party in Chicago and since her team spans across multiple states, she was able to have Adrienne, who is based out of the Chicago branch, work with us in finding and coordinating our engagment party. Our guest had a blast and just like the wedding we still hear wonderful things about both the engagement party and the wedding. Thank you Kaci and the team at XOXO Weddings! We would definitely recommend her to any couples looking for a high-touch, miracle worker, and easy to work with planner.
