    Hiring Dana was hands-down the best decision we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand both my partner's and my taste, and every detail of the day reflected us perfectly. She has an incredible eye for detail, but what stood out most was her ability to truly listen and make sure every choice aligned with our vision. We asked Dana to assist for day-of planning only but she was so accommodating, supportive and reassuring from day 1, even making the time to meet with vendors BEFORE the wedding day! On the wedding day itself, she was everywhere at once--coordinating vendors, keeping the timeline on track, and handling things behind the scenes so seamlessly that we didn't even realize potential hiccups were happening. Everything flowed so smoothly because she was on top of it all. Her assistant, Andrea, was also such a huge help the day of--she was attentive, kind, and made sure all the little details were taken care of without us even having to ask. What I'll always be grateful for, though, is the calm presence she brought. I'm an anxious bride by nature, and she somehow managed to ground me in the middle of all the chaos--her background as a therapist definitely shined through in those moments. She was both a planner and a source of emotional support, which made the day not just beautiful but truly enjoyable. If you're looking for someone who is organized, thoughtful, incredibly competent, and will make you feel like you can actually relax on your wedding day, look no further. Dana is a dream to work with!!!

    Myself and my bridesmaids.

    If you've been looking for a day coordinator, she is the one. She made the entire process incredibly easy even during the most stressful stressful moments. My entire wedding ran smoothly. The best part about Dana is that she took feedback with grace and really had my (Bride's ) back. Which I totally appreciated, especially as someone who struggles to say no. She is not just a coordinator/ wedding planner, she is also very conveniently a therapist, and gurrrrrlll, as a bride you will need one at least once throughout the night. I didn't think I would crack but it gets real emotional up in there. You know who didn't crack down ? Dana and her team, even when I changed my mind about the timeline, outfit change or even music. They adjusted, if there was any pressure they felt, they did not show it. They went with it, adjusted and went on gracefully. Their confidence made me feel confident and every bride should feel that way. Lastly, a personal thank you for protecting and securing our deposit that was our biggest worry with an open bar. Dana went far and beyond like a majestic hawk, impecable eye!! Ladies, reconsider an open bar unless you got Dana on your side. Much love and appreciation, THANK YOU! -Ixchel

    If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who can turn absolute chaos into calm, Dana is the one. Our wedding day was full of curveballs; the groom and groomsmen were late, my mom was late, the pastor was late, decor and food arrived late it felt like everything that could go wrong, did. But thanks to Dana's experience, grace, and leadership, no one had a clue what was happening behind the scenes. From the outside, it looked like a perfectly orchestrated event. Guests only noticed a slight delay, they had no idea the fire Dana was quietly putting out behind the scenes. She kept us on track, made adjustments in real time, and somehow we still maintained the itinerary we had so carefully planned. The reception was absolutely beautiful and so much fun! Dana made sure every detail came together from the photographers and videographers to the violinist, DJ, decorator, and even the ice sculptor. She communicated with every vendor before and during the event so everything felt seamless. Anyone who had a question got an answer. She thought of everything, and then some. Dana was calm, collected, professional, and proactive exactly what you need on a high stress day. I truly cannot imagine what our day would've looked like without her. Because of Dana, we were able to actually enjoy our wedding and create beautiful memories in the midst of chaos. Hire Dana. Trust her. Let her work her magic. She's the best decision we made.

    If I could give Dana 1000 stars, I would. I was a very anxious bride and Dana really made me feel at peace. My venue had a really weird layout, and within the first walk, she thought about a layout that not only had aesthetics in mind but also comfort and usability. I had close to 10 vendors, and she was able to coordinate with all of them not just a day off but a couple days before, ensuring that everything was squared away. When the big day came, she helped sort problems that Inevitably came, and was able to arrange the timeline as changes arose. I always hear people complain that they didn't get to enjoy the party or that they didn't spend enough time with their significant other during their wedding, but that is the farthest from the truth for me. Dana arranged alone time with me and my husband before the grand entrance, and even an incredibly beautiful impromptu private last dance. I met Dana at another wedding we were both working at, and seeing her work there made me want to hire her, safe to say I made the right decision

    I recently had the pleasure of working with Dana as my coordinator for my wedding on June 8th, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment we first connected, she demonstrated kindness, professionalism, and commitment to make our special day went perfect. She always made sure to give the best recommendations from creating a timeline to getting vendor recommendations. Dana and Andrea managed every aspect of the event with such grace and efficiency that we were able to relax and fully enjoy the day. During the wedding day she worked well with other vendors and created strategic plans to make sure everyone was comfortable. Her presence was both calming and unobtrusive, which allowed my husband and I to focus on each other and our guests. Thank you so much!! Best Decision Ever!

    Dana saved the day. My wedding was on May 28, and consisted of many different events. It was a huge Indian/Pakistani American event. I wanted an indoor outdoor mansion wedding for my family to be able to enjoy. I wanted it to be an intimate chic wedding. Dana was able to combine my idea, and use her unique skills, culturally aware talent to bring everything to life. Dana visited the location with me multiple times, she was there for me, and believed in the vision. She mapped out the entire plan, spoke to the vendors, made sure I was supported and stress free. A bride needs support, someone that she can be honest with, and count on to handle stuff, and keep the aunties away. Dana was there side by side day of, handling stuff. I was her priority, she paid attention to every single detail I needed. She loves what she does, and it shows. She is strategic, and has a game plan tailored to a persons personal needs. I recommend her as a planner, and amazing human being. Do business with people that are good people, that are pleasant to work with.

    A week ago I had the wedding I've been dreaming about since I was a little girl and it all went smoothly because of Dana! She is an absolutely amazing coordinator who always checked in on me and definitely calmed my nerves whenever I felt anxious. There are not enough words to describe how GREAT of a coordinator she is. She helped me create a perfect timeline for my wedding that allowed us to get all of our important stuff done first so we could spend the rest of our time enjoying the party. She also creates an itinerary that I sent to all the vendors and bridal party to ensure that everyone knew the times and places for the day of the wedding. Dana helped me come up with a list of things I needed for my wedding and gave me a reference to a flower vendor who did an amazing job. She does more than help coordinate the day of the wedding, and that's why I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. She took in everything I said about how I wanted my decor to look like, and she made my vision come true. She made my day so comfortable and relaxing so that I could enjoy my big day. Dana 100% cares about her clients, and that's what's makes her so good at her job. Thank you, Dana, for making our dream wedding come true. -The Rendons

    My family had an amazing night, can't wait to use Dana for our next event!

    Dana is literally INCREDIBLE! I used her services for my engagement party, on short notice, she flew to my city, managed everything and coordinated one of the best nights of my entire life. Everything went SO smoothly and beautifully. She is truly one of a kind. I Highly recommend her for your event coordination needs. She took what could have been a highly stressful planning process, and made everything run so smoothly and seamlessly. She calmed my nerves, worked with my family, took charge and exceeded my expectations. She brought my vision to life and it was better than I could've ever imagined. I honestly don't know what I would've done without her. Don't look any further, if you want an amazing, smooth and memorable event, use Dana's services. I will never forget her , she really went above and beyond. I can't wait for her to coordinate my next event. She is the best out there!!

    5 stars in not ENOUGH to rate Dana's services!! from our very first photo call I felt so comfortable with Dana and knew she would be our wedding coordinator. Every time I would text her she would reply so quickly and honestly never made me feel like i was bothering her. We met up a couple days before the wedding so I could give her some items I needed to be set for the receptions. Dana was one of the best choices my husband and I made for the wedding. there was absolutely no stress on our end and the wedding reception was executed perfectly! My family members even made comments on how amazing Dana was that night and how she was always on the next step for the itinerary. I recommend Dana 1000%!!!! You will not regret having her be your coordinator!

    Dana was the coordinator for our 100 person Sunday brunch wedding. We started working with her 3 months before the event, and from the get-go, she was incredibly responsive and organized. Starting about 2 months out, we had more detailed conversations about timelines, specific things that needed to be set up and when, other vendors, etc. On the actual day, Dana was a lifesaver. She was there on time and was running around setting things up and coordinating other vendors. By the time I arrived for photos, she had already finished setting up the ceremony and reception spaces. She kept things running smoothly as guests arrived and the ceremony started. When small issues popped up, she was there to take care of them so that we could continue chatting with our guests. Other vendors had nothing but great things to say about her as well. All in all, Dana is an excellent wedding coordinator, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

    I at first didn't want a coordinator because I was used to doing everything myself. But man was I wrong. Dana was amazing. She typed out a timeline which was the most helpful thing ever. She handled all the vendors on contacting them and leading us on what to do. I thought 80 guests was a lot but she said it was like a breeze for that many people. My wedding had no errors and it went perfectly. I was so surprised we had no drama or errors. Go with her. I can vouch for her and I'm a very picky person.

    Dana is AMAZING, my wedding was seamless due to her help and ability to improvise. Even during the planning process she would offer suggestions to better the overall experience for myself and my guests. Her attention to detail, knowledge and approachable/fun personality made her the perfect coordinator for me. I honestly wish I had another event to plan because I had so much fun with her! Wedding planning was never stressful or overwhelming with Dana on my team. If you're questioning whether or not you need a coordinator, you absolutely do and I can't recommend her enough.

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!

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!

Jessica made sure my husband and I had everything we needed and more during the events - food, water, rest, shade, phones, you name it. She was super patient and respectful with accommodating our parents' requests, too. 4) Management capability. We had a big fat South Asian wedding consisting of 4 events over 2 days with a thousand moving parts. Jessica coordinated all the vendor contracts and on-site set up. She and her husband themselves were present for the duration of all events, which made all the difference. This is the person you want when something goes wrong. From having an emergency photographer on speed dial to adjusting the timeline on the spot, Jessica kept things in motion. She brought our visions to life, whether it was through decor mockups, adding sticker decals to our welcome mirror, or negotiating quotes and extra setup time & venue space. My most favorite memory is Jessica texting me photos and videos of the Baraat celebration, which the bride is not part of.

I want to specifically highlight our wedding day coordinator, Jennifer. She was terrific and served as a calming influence throughout the day, ensuring everyone was where they needed to be.

We knew it was a short timeline, but Jimmy was incredibly accommodating and immediately made us feel like they would be happy to work with us. At that point, the only thing we had selected was our venue. Other than that, we honestly had no idea where to begin, what needed to be done, or which vendors to choose. Just thinking about everything involved was overwhelming and stressful. After we officially began working with JK Wedding Events, Jimmy, the founder, introduced us to our wedding coordinator, April Lee. Because of the short timeline, my wife and I felt extremely rushed and were constantly thinking, "How are we going to get all of this done?" But Jimmy and April continually reassured us that everything would be okay--and they were right. What we appreciated most was that they never made us feel pressured or bossed around. Instead, they guided us with the heart of a teacher. They patiently walked alongside us, explained what needed to happen, and helped us make decisions throughout the entire process. That was exactly what we were looking for. They helped us navigate practically every major vendor decision, including photography and videography, hair and makeup, catering, flowers, draping, tableware rentals, our wedding cake, and even recommendations for wedding dresses and tuxedos. Honestly, if my wife and I had tried to research and coordinate all of those vendors by ourselves, it probably would have caused so many headaches and arguments that we might not have had a wedding at all! Of course, planning any wedding will come with some ups and downs, but JK Wedding Events minimized the stress as much as anyone possibly could. When our wedding day finally arrived in July 2026, everything was on point. All of the vendors understood the plan, everything was executed smoothly, and April did an amazing job keeping the day on schedule and making sure everything continued flowing without any issues. Jimmy also served as our MC and DJ during the reception, and he was fantastic! He kept our guests engaged, entertained, and laughing while maintaining a fun atmosphere throughout the night. His music selections kept everyone enjoying the vibe and made the celebration even more memorable. It has now been about a month since our wedding, and I am finally catching up and writing this review because JK Wedding Events absolutely deserves the recognition. Whether you need help planning your wedding from the very beginning, finding a venue, selecting vendors, or coordinating any other part of the process, I highly recommend reaching out to Jimmy and the JK Wedding Events team. They will take a tremendous amount of pressure off you during what can otherwise be a very stressful process. Thank you again to Jimmy, April, and the entire JK Wedding Events team for helping make our wedding such a wonderful experience. Highly recommended--10 out of 10!

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.

I was one of the first among my friends to get married, so everything was completely new to me. Looking back, meeting MJ truly felt like God's perfect timing. I didn't even realize how well-known and sought-after she was when we first connected. From our very first meeting all the way through the wedding day (and even after), MJ was such a reassuring presence in my life. She made me feel supported, confident, and completely at ease throughout the entire process. Because of her, I experienced almost no stress while planning our wedding. She didn't just bring my vision to life--she gave me everything I dreamed of and more. What I appreciated most was how intentional she was about creating a wedding that felt authentically us. She took the time to understand who we were as a couple and brought that vision to life in a way that felt personal, meaningful, and beautiful. I'm also a very detail-oriented and particular person, so I had high expectations. Somehow, every detail exceeded them. Every decision, every recommendation, and every element of the wedding felt thoughtfully planned and executed. One of my favorite memories happened on our wedding day. I had told myself I wasn't going to cry, but after the ceremony, I remember telling MJ how happy I was and how perfect everything had been. She gave me a big smile and told me, "This is why I do what I do," and I honestly almost started crying right there. It was such a heartfelt moment and reminded me how much she truly cares about her couples. Seeing how invested she was in our happiness was incredibly touching. Our families, friends, and we ourselves were absolutely blown away by how everything turned out. What's funny is that a lot of my friends were actually worried about me throughout the planning process because I wasn't freaking out. They know how detail-oriented and particular I am, so they kept checking in and asking if I was stressed. The truth is, I didn't need to freak out! MJ had everything completely under control. She guided us through every step of the process, breaking things down into manageable tasks and making everything feel organized and easy. Every time someone asked if there was anything they could help with, I honestly didn't have much for them because MJ was already several steps ahead. She made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel seamless from beginning to end. Looking back, one of the best decisions we made during our entire wedding journey was choosing MJ as our wedding planner. Not only is she incredibly talented, organized, professional, and creative, but she genuinely cares about her couples and pours her heart into every wedding she plans. Hiring MJ was hands down one of the best investments we made, and honestly, one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We are beyond grateful for her and so proud to have had her as our planner. I cannot recommend MJ enough

She is simply everything you could hope for in a wedding planner: professional, experienced, calm under pressure, incredibly detail-oriented, and someone who genuinely wants your wedding to be perfect. I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you're looking for a planner who will treat your wedding as if it were her own and make you feel completely supported from start to finish, MJ is the one!

We had the pleasure of working with Lilian over the years, and she curated an incredibly seamless, vibrant atmosphere from the early morning down to the final exit. I love how she reads the rhythm of the day so that the couple, their families and the guests can remain entirely present and soaking in the joy. Lilian brings comforting energy and professionalisim that is an absolute pleasure to work alongside. If you're looking for an event planner who brings exquisite organization and a beautiful energy to your special event, I couldn't recommend her more!

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 :)

We could not have done this without her. We had a wedding planner before Grace that we had to part ways with in the middle of the planning process. This made me extremely anxious to put trust in someone else with such an important day in our lives. But from the first call with Grace, all of those anxieties disappeared! She is calm, she gets it done, and she was somehow always one step ahead of anything that popped into my mind at any given moment! Before the event, Grace kept us organized, gave us great recommendations for vendors, and grounded us. She coordinated with all of our vendors, including reading through every contract. She made sure our wedding day ran seamlessly. Grace prioritized exactly what was important to the bride and groom. Even making sure we ate our dinner! And when the caterer forgot to bring the vegan meals, she handled the situation quickly and without causing any stress to us or our guests. My family and friends were extremely complimentary of their interactions with Grace and were all very impressed with how the day ran. For the bride and groom, being able to enjoy each other and our day without worrying about the details on the day-of is so important. Grace did that and more!

    Grace, you're simply the best…read more We had 6 months to plan our wedding and truly none of it would've been possible without Grace. From our initial call with Grace, it was clear she understood our vision and she had this calm (almost Zen-like) confidence about her that made us feel heard, cared for, and like she's the type to be on top of her stuff and get sh*t done to make our wedding our best day ever. Grace suggested partial planning with us which helped us save some $$ without compromising any thing. It was perfect for us because she helped with vendor communication and provided a variety of recommendations for us to look into. She was extremely patient with us (I'm a Virgo ). She answered any questions we had with care, handled communicating the feedback we had with vendors, worked with new vendors we found, and offered her expert opinion in a way where we felt she was always taking our overall vision into consideration. Her level of service was consistent throughout the planning process, to the wedding day, and all through to the end of clean up and the breakdown of the wedding. Grace, you and your team made the day absolutely seamless and magical for us. Side note: My wife and I didn't realize that Grace delivered her second child during our planning process with her - there was not a single hiccup in her service, so this woman is a superwoman and super mom!

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.
