It'd been a few years since my last wedding at this venue, and it was so great to be back. The space is just as beautiful as before, and the staff we had the pleasure of working with was even better than before. From the Calamigos team, we worked with Avery for all pre-event planning, and our day-of team--Maxine, Daulton, Richie, Larissa, and the rest of their crew--were all So amazing and supportive throughout our event, and we couldn't be more grateful.

The wedding at this venue was severely mishandled. The event was plagued by disorganization, poor…read morecommunication, understaffing, and repeated service failures--from incorrect setup and unprofessional staff behavior to inadequate bar service, restroom issues, missing personal property, and lack of onsite management. Critical details were missed, guests were treated dismissively, and the overall experience fell far below expectations for a once-in-a-lifetime event. This was an unacceptable level of service, and I would not recommend this venue. I am unable to in words describe how stressful the day was and how you can get better value and service at other venues from speaking with several newlyweds and industry event coordinators.

Our review is long overdue, and now that things have settled down, we wanted to share our AMAZING…read moreexperience with Tiana and her team! We found Tiana through an IG ad, where she promoted Exotic Green Garden along with an all-inclusive wedding package at Lake Lindero Golf Course. The Exotic Green Garden IG page looked beautiful, and the package was within our budget, so we decided to reach out to learn more. Upon meeting Tiana, she was super friendly and honest about the costs, what can be personalized, and was patient in answering our many questions. We left the meeting feeling like we made a new friend, but still wanted to explore other options as she was the very first vendor we met in our wedding planning journey. After a week or so of reaching out to other florists, we decided that nobody could beat what Tiana offered, and her lovely personality was a huge plus. It was an easy decision to book Tiana as our florist, coordinator, and the wedding package for our wedding on October 4th, 2025 at Lake Lindero Golf Course. Leading up to our wedding, Tiana was very communicative with us every step of the way. It was so easy to reach her and hear back in a timely manner, whether it was through email, text, or a phone call. She was always ready to address our questions and concerns, and put our mind at ease. She even gave us suggestions on how to save money with our florals, which we truly appreciated. In addition to Tiana, we also worked with Adena (her sister) and Lance (her father and our officiant). We met Lance via FaceTime a few months before so he could learn about us, and he was so kind and funny that we knew he'd do a wonderful job making our ceremony go smoothly. He even had an additional call with us and sent reminder texts to make sure we were aware of what's needed for the day. We met Adena at our wedding rehearsal, where we learned she would be our day of coordinator instead. We were a little surprised since we thought Tiana would do this. But Adena re-assured us that she was familiar with the schedule and during the rehearsal, we were relieved to see how personable she was, and her professionalism matched that of Tiana and Lance, and we knew we were in good hands. On our wedding day, we received so many compliments from our guests on how much they loved the florals. We didn't see Tiana on our wedding day, but definitely felt how much love and care she put into them as they turned out beautiful, like exact replicas of our Pinterest photos. Several of our guests even snuck some away, which we didn't know till the end of the night lol! Our guests also praised Lance on how he conducted our ceremony and made it feel personable to us. Throughout the wedding, Adena constantly checked in on us to make sure we were hydrated, feeling ok, and keeping us informed about the schedule. She even jumped in to help cut a roast pig, which we did not expect her to do as we were expecting a specific guest to do it (who ended up not attending). We loved that Adena was so on top of everything the whole evening, while having a smile the whole time. We still reminisce about our wedding day, and how wonderful it was thanks to Tiana, Adena, and Lance. Even though it's been a few months, our guests still mention how lovely our wedding was, which makes us so happy to know that we chose a fantastic team. We highly recommend Tiana and her family/team for your wedding or special event. Thank you Tiana, Adena, and Lance for making our day feel extra special!!!

I would like to give a shout out to Tiana's assistant coordinator, Adena. Her personality and hands-on approach made the wedding day very memorable and the guests feel comfortable.

The whole process from beginning to end will continue to bring smiles to our faces for a lifetime.

We first spoke to Katie for an initial call and she was really knowledgable and friendly that I was sad to hear we would be working with another coordinator, but Emily happily jumped on a call to ease any worries I may have had. We went with the Month of Coordination service which allowed us to do most of the planning ourselves (most of our vendors were locked in early on, but MB provides a lovely list of vendors they've worked with in case it's needed). Emily had us fill out a very detailed questionnaire (you can tell they know what they're doing with the questions being asked) and went over every detail with us, including areas we were still figuring out. She was available for any questions I had as well leading up to the day, made sure to reach out to all of our vendors with the master timeline, and even provided some guidance for my cousin that was officiating for the first time. A big bonus is how many weddings they've coordinated at Walnut Grove that they're very familiar with the venue and the folks from Command Performance Catering. Emily led us through rehearsal the day before and made sure the actual wedding day went smoothly. She made it possible for us to focus on enjoying the day with our friends and family, but still keep on schedule with her gentle reminders.

We held our wedding at Walnut Grove and it was clear that Emily knew what she was doing, especially at that venue! I am definitely a more anxious bride and had many questions, emails, texts. Emily responded to each one with so much grace and expertise. Wedding planning can be isolating at times because there is so much to do - but I really felt like I had a partner in Emily. She was so responsive and enthusiastic! Her excitement and calm attitude carried me in moments I wanted to give up wedding planning altogether. On our wedding rehearsal - our bridal parties all remarked at how pleasant yet professional Emily was. She really made sure everyone knew what they were doing. Which was especially difficult because we had a bridal party of about 20+ people! On the day of the wedding, we had very strong winds (at an all outdoor venue) and I was blissfully unaware of the chaos occuring. But Emily and her assistant Katie handled the situation so well. Whenever Emily checked in with me regarding things that were not going to plan, she had so much confidence and peace that it was easy for me to make quick decisions. I can really say I was present throughout the wedding, and focused on getting married! Everything else, Emily handled so beautifully. I am forever grateful to Emily and Mia Bella Weddings and you will not regret having them on your vendor team!

Our experience with 3LB was wonderful. While many hesitate to hire a wedding coordinator due to the…read moreadded expense, Jessica and her team made the process of planning and executing my daughter's wedding significantly less stressful. ​I We utilized the month-of planning agreement, which was perfect for our needs. Since our venue did not provide any services, we hired all of our own vendors. 3LB was essential in ensuring everyone was coordinated and in place on the wedding day. Additionally, because we used rentatheirl equipment, their staff ensured everything was set up exactly according to our instructions. 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. I cannot recommend Three Little Birds enough. To anyone considering their services: do yourself a favor and hire this team; you won't be disappointed.

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.

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!

Her organization, attention to detail, and calm, confident presence made such a difference during what could have been a stressful time. On the day of the wedding, she was my absolute go-to for everything. I didn't have to worry about a single detail--Courtney had it all covered. From coordinating vendors to keeping the timeline running smoothly, she made sure everything flowed perfectly. She anticipated needs before I even had to ask and handled any little hiccups behind the scenes without me ever knowing. Because of Courtney, I was able to be fully present and actually enjoy every moment of my day. She went above and beyond in every way and truly made my wedding feel effortless and perfect.

They were as helpful as can be before the actual day. On the day of, everything went so smoothly. She made sure the vendors were all in place. She even drove us in the golf cart back and forth to the photo shoot area. My mom's dress malfunctioned and she was able to help her sew it up. My bustles were a pain in the butt! Mindy and her sister literally crawled under there to bustle all the buttons up. And finally, at my reception, she would check up on me and my husband all throughout the evening to make sure everything is okay, and that my drinks were flowing! She was just wonderful to work with. She had a positive attitude and I loved her witty humor. The best of all with Mindy is that she gave her recommendations, but was never pushy about them! They were good recommendations. She would suggest things for the timeline, layout or anything else, but ultimately left it up to me to choose what I wanted to do and she was completely great about it. Thanks for everything Mindy and Terri!

Working with Deborah and Valentin at Bella Vita was the single best decision we made while planning…read moreour wedding. From day one, they brought a rare mix of calm, focus/precision, creativity, and total dedication. What they pulled off for our 200-guest "California Coastal" wedding at Calamigos Ranch in the mountains of Malibu was nothing short of extraordinary. Flawless isn't a strong enough word because it implies a flaw would have been possible. From the layout to the flow, the band to the officiant and live performance, every single element felt effortless because behind the scenes, Deborah and Valentin were orchestrating every detail with incredible foresight and care. One of the many ways they went above and beyond? Helping us lock down an after-party venue before it had even opened to the public. Thanks to their local connections and creative problem-solving, we were able to tour and book a brand new space that turned out to be the perfect end to the perfect night. They handled vendor coordination with military-grade precision -- making sure timelines were tight, contractual requirements were met, and everyone was fully in sync. Their planning calendar kept us on track without ever feeling overwhelmed, and their taste level and attention to detail gave us full confidence from start to finish. On our wedding day, we didn't have to think about a single logistical thing. We were able to be present, soak it all in, and truly enjoy the moment because Deborah and Valentin had already thought of everything. If you're lucky enough to work with them, you'll understand what we mean when we say they don't just plan weddings...they make magic. We are forever grateful and recommend them fully. You won't be sorry.

Deborah is the best at what she does.

Always being positive and optimistic, she's an entire support system in one person! She's far more than a coordinator but also a source of comfort when nerves run high and she's everything we could've wanted from a coordinator. During our wedding she shielded us from a lot of things that I'm sure could've taken us away from our day, all the small things with vendors/rentals/layout/communication was executed perfectly, she has great attention to detail with emails/paperwork leading up to the wedding and maybe most importantly she really made sure that day-of we were going to have the BEST time of our lives, and that's exactly what happened. She really wants that for her clients, she's the first person we hugged after our ceremony and for good reason, because she's knows our wedding journey more than anyone, and she was along for the ride the whole time... never complaining and always having a positive uplifting can-do attitude. Even things like the rehearsal day before where all family is meeting for the first time, you can really see how pro she is directing people like a high production broadway show. Words can't express how grateful we are for Deborah's work on our wedding at the Maybourne, handling all the switching and nuances of a very complex wedding with all the vendors/paperwork/performers involved. Wedding have so many moving parts and she is masterful at having an eye on all things. Our wedding would not have been what it was without Deborah, she is the reason we can say it was the best day of our lives. And we have the highest recommendations for her and her team! -------- (figured to share a text to her we sent soon after our wedding): Hey Deborah! Claire and I just got settled home. What a whirlwind of a night that was! just wanted to send you a personal THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for making that happen from start to finish. We woke up and recapped the whole day and were saying how it was truly the best day of our lives. Everyone was telling us they loved it. Everything came together so perfectly. Even the rehearsals, everything was so smooth. Haha. It turned out actually bloody beautiful haha. All the small things too were taken care of. We honestly couldn't have had it go any better. We love you! You are truly the best at what you do. Was a wild journey this wedding journey haha, but we couldn't have asked for a better person to share this journey with. Thanks also for the emotional support through it all, it really means a lot. Sincerely. So thank u thank u thank u. Was truly epic, best time our lives hands down and we have you to thank for that. It was a total success and mission accomplished haha. U're forever part of our core life memory now. We fam lol. You truly* are the best.

The quick review: highly recommend because of Brin. Our wedding could not have turned out the way it did without her. And our experience planning, as well as our experience on the day of, could not have been what it was without her. We love you Brin! The long review: it's hard to find someone to trust for such a huge day, but we absolutely made the right decision with OBSE. Specifically Brin. Right from the start her vibe and personality meshed well with us. She and OBSE were also accommodating in adjusting our pricing based on what we needed and didn't need (for example, we already landed on a venue and caterer, so wouldn't need help with that). Brin was super organized and we were provided with timelines and checklists- as someone who needs this in my everyday life, this was extremely helpful. It was easy to get in touch with Brin and she did all the heavy lifting reaching out and sourcing vendors for us. We also regularly did meetings as needed. Leading up 2-3months out from the wedding day, I was procrastinating rather horribly and Brin was SO patient but also SO helpful on checking in and keeping us on track with what needed to be done. And then when the wedding was around the corner, she put together very detailed timelines for the day and for the wedding party, she organized the entire processional seamlessly, guided rehearsal day perfectly, coordinated with all our vendors (I know perfectly because I think we barely even saw or heard anything related to that), and set everything up exactly as envisioned the day of. I woke up without a worry that day and Brin kept it worry free all the way through! She had an amazing emergency box prepped for the wedding party, kept things on schedule, packed up our personal items/gifts and placed it in our shuttle home after, and handled wrapping up and cleaning up with our other vendors. We truly did not have to think and could just enjoy our day! She even did a post mortem with us, which I really appreciated. Brin is the best!
