We've finished all the leftovers and are craving more. It was seriously spectacular! We showed up with all the standard wedding catering challenges. Large party, dietary restrictions, tight budgets, big ambitions and a desire for everything to be *perfect.* Merilee walked us through the entire process with calm professionalism, talking us through options, listening to our ideas and sharing her extensive expertise. We narrowed it down to two equally delicious sounding menus and made the final call after an AWESOME tasting. Every single thing we tried was scrumptious! We left that night genuinely excited to share this feast with our guests and full of confidence that the final event would be a success. But the wedding exceeded even those stellar expectations. The food, presentation, service and staff were all simply flawless. It's no surprise that Merilee was recommended by our wedding venue, our welcome party venue and every local wedding planner we interviewed. Mojave Monaco is both beloved and respected by everyone who has had the pleasure of working with them. They are consummate professionals who treat everyone involved with real consideration, who take tremendous pride in their work and are committed to delivering excellence in absolutely every respect. Plus they are just straight up lovely folks. If you get the chance, hire them immediately. We would again in a heartbeat. Thank you guys!

I absolutely loved working with Jessica to design, plan, and execute our wedding day…read more She really knows the wedding industry and has so many tricks up her sleeve on making sure everything is thoughtfully planned. She is very solution centric so there is literally no challenge that arose that she wasn't comfortable tackling. What we appreciated about her most is she is VERY customer service oriented. She always responded to us quickly, offered advice, and looked out for us. I will never forget... when she arrived to the bridal suite, she brought me some delicious caffeine teas so I can get a boost of energy because I told her I was exhausted and didn't sleep well. It is such a small gesture, but meant a lot to me (I felt so cared for). She truly goes above and beyond and we will absolutely be keeping her in mind if we need to plan any events in the future. We love you Jessica!

Miguel 100% delivered my Pinterest dream baby shower. The tables, chair colors, draping, couches. It was all perfection. From the first phone call he wanted to make sure he was going to be the right vendor for me. He drove nearly an hour to me brought me chair options, table options, and measured my backyard to make sure I could comfortably fit 150 people. This company goes above and beyond. Everyone was saying that my baby shower was the most beautiful shower they'd ever been to. And I have to agree it was also the most beautiful shower I had ever seen as well.

The bud vases were so sweet and romantic but also affordable. My sister commented they looked vintage chic. I would definitely recommend bud vases instead of traditional floral centerpieces if you aren't looking to spend all of your budget on florals. Alyssa can really make them look beautiful.

I think she is just trying to get that part of her business up and running, but she should definitely stay in her lane. So much went wrong, so here goes. Her budget was way off. She did not return calls in a timely manner until it was brought to her attention. Not a big deal? Ah, sadly, there's more. We found out day before the wedding that her computerized version of seating arrangements was "just an approximation." So seating was way off from how we had imagined and we had to make last minute adjustments. She does not know how to run a rehearsal and announced to all that she had never seen a wedding like ours before! (The men walking to the front while bridesmaids walked down alone). This was followed by her lining up all backwards and everyone was trying to tell her it was wrong. So much confusion that the pastor finally took over saying, "Friends, I'm now running this rehearsal." She should've been embarrassed, but she wasn't. The day of the wedding she asked me how to display the table menus - one for each table. I had previously asked her how many frames to bring and she told me. I brought extra, but it wasn't enough. No problem, she said, we can just put the ones without frames up against the centerpieces. How tacky! As guests began to arrive, a friend asked where she could put her wedding gift. When I asked Alyssa, she said that "no one brings gifts to weddings anymore," so there wasn't a place for them. The wedding was to have bubbles on each seat. Not on mine, and I'm the MOB! Didn't get to blow bubbles for my daughter. And others felt the same way. What part of "every seat " is hard to understand? At the reception, wine was to be self-serve on the table and would then be replenished as needed. When I noticed some friends had no wine, her lame excuse was that she thought it would be nice to serve our guests. But those glasses were empty!! There's more but you get the picture. Along the planning way, when asked for lists of what she should be doing and when, her response was that we had no need to worry because it was all in her head. But it clearly was not. We paid a lot for her services. Almost $6000, not including flowers. The day ended up beautiful but because we had to work around her. Such a disappointment. The most disappointing things is when I reached out to her to discuss all of this after the wedding, she took absolutely no responsibility for anything. She actually thinks she did a great job. I'm here to tell you she did not.

My wife and I became Le Haut alumni on the chilly night of May 18, 2019. Outside the weather…read moreplaying a little nicer, I couldn't in my wildest dreams imagine having picked a better wedding venue. In my opinion, weddings are inherently one of the most capitalistic and borderline exploitative examples of soliciting real emotion for even more dollars. When everything comes at a premium because you attach marriage to it (cake cutting, flowers, catering, etc), you begin to have real fear for how the most expensive component of the whole thing, the venue - will play out financially and emotionally. Liz and Eric are people who are welcoming you into their home, not someone making a quick buck off providing you 4 walls to throw a party in. We instantly felt so incredibly comfortable with them, that we lingered around for a couple hours the next day and talked about the upcoming Game of Thrones series finale. Name a wedding venue where you're going to do that? Julia - the wedding planner is the perfect combination of straight-talking, to the point, hyper focused, but still inherently warm and lovely that you want for your planner. She doesn't waste your time, but she doesn't make you feel rushed or under stress whatsoever. This venue is not for the faint of heart, however. If being a little chilly, seeing a bug or critter or two can completely ruin your night, I'm not entirely sure why you chose a remote desert wedding in the first place (oh wait, probably for instagram). The desert is a rough, unforgiving, but ultimately rewarding place. If you write a 1 star review for seeing bugs in a remote desert locale, you have bigger issues than this venue. Our wedding went off without a single, solitary logistical hitch. The venue was by far the most beautiful venue I've ever attended a wedding at. The owners were the most laid-back friendly, couple I could've worked with. I never dreamed of having a wedding go so perfectly. I'd give you 6 stars if I could.

This was an awesome place to get married. Both the venue manager, as well as the property owner…read morewere both very kind, helpful and relaxed. A big part of the reason we chose the venue, aside from its beauty, was that we could do whatever we wanted, which allowed for total creative control, as well as allowed us to be as spendy or frugal as we needed. We stayed on site for three days enjoying the property, which was really relaxing to myself, the bride, ok the day leading up to and the day of my wedding. The venue itself gives off an incredible energy and the sunsets (around cocktail hour), as well as the star lit sky at dinner was magical.

He also made sure he took good care of the one vegetarian in our crew, as well as being very attentive to some food allergies we had in our group. His pricing was fair, and he was super prompt and flexible. Our comms were a bit hit or miss as we dialed in details a couple months before the event - but once we got to within a week or so, and certainly as we were going through the event, his comms were on point. He provided a bartender on our first night, and that was probably the only place there was room for improvement, as the bartender wasn't very personable, and left without saying goodbye or cleaning up after himself. We'd definitely use Matty again next time we're out in the desert!

I have a laundry list with multiple sources of evidence to prove that my contract with this venue…read morewas not fulfilled in anyway. Nothing but broken promises and chaos. I hired Celeste with "venue 19" for my wedding on October 12th, 2024 and I was completely disappointed the entire time. The music was playing ads when I had already told Celeste multiple times I have Spotify premium that she can use. The sound was going In and out the entire time even though she assured me that her brother was a technical wiz and had a great sound system. (This was also in our contract to have working audio) The colors I chose and confirmed with her 5 times was also not present at the wedding whatsoever. I had actually reached out to her 4 or 5 times to let her know if she can't get the colors and theme I was going for them I would pay for the decorations and flowers myself. The start time was the biggest downfall of the wedding. I had confirmed with celeste more than a handful of times that my guests will arrive at 4pm cocktails and ceremony will start promptly at 5pm. Multiple emails, text messages, agendas, and wedding invitations had the times and she still asked the vendors to come 2 to hours later. (Spoke with each vendor and they confirmed Celeste lied to them about start times) My guests and myself were waiting for hours for everything to get started. Drinks were hot and left in the sun so those that came on time couldn't enjoy anything. She also had her two dogs running around the venue the entire time begging my guests for food, running on my dress, and jumping on chairs where people were eating. She also had my guests take their own chairs/benches themselves from the ceremony area to the dinning area. Which might I add was also a complete disaster since she had no lighting. My guests were eating in complete darkness the entire time. I had to pay my camera guy extra money so that he can bring out some lighting of his own. (Didn't last long since he was not prepared to supply the event lighting) this was also in my contract to have lighting provided by Celeste. A dance floor and tent was also in my contract. She did not have any tents whatsoever. The dance floor was not strong enough to hold any weight. The boards were not up to code and had holes so we were all stuck in our tables with no lights. Unfortunately I mistakenly trusted her to be the officiant of the wedding which she also ruined. Could have been such a special moment for me and my husband that she ruined. She was flustered, forgot her place twice and two several minutes to get back on track, as well as forgetting the exchanging of rings part. She started her speech by talking about herself for several minutes and telling the crowd to not be mad at her because none of the mishaps were her fault... I had reached out to Celeste so many times to offer my help and extra money if needed. I was over the top patient with her and the only thing I received in return was excuses by her playing the victim. She ended everything by sending me threatening emails as text messages that she would sue me if my friends and family did not stop leaving bad reviews (reviews she had taken down by yelp)
