I admired her knowledge and experience in all aspects of what a wedding calls for. From florals, to design and minor details that add a wow factor. I wanted a unique but elegant look to my wedding and she delivered. I'm someone to be so unsure and iffy about selecting or choosing between one or another option. And I loved that she would paint me a vision of what each option could look like and the pros and cons and that made selecting chairs, linens and tables, food etc much easier for me. Overall she was an amazing help through the whole planning and the day of! She went above and beyond with her wonderful team, the most rewarding part was to be able to see my dream wedding become a reality , everything was perfect and she made sure everything ran so smoothly for us from beginning to end. I don't know how she does it but her work and professionalism was top tier for us. We look forward to hiring her for our future events.

I would give Sky Bright Lighting 12 stars if I could because Angel from SBL deserves all of them…read moreand more! We booked SBL to do the entire lighting for our wedding at South Park Center in DTLA and we could not be happier with their work! Right off the bat, we could tell Angel has a passion for lighting and that he genuinely loves what he does. He doesn't just throw up the lights and walk away. He personally controls the lights throughout the entire event to create a unique light show that dynamically reacts to the moment -- think of him as a professional DJ for lighting. We've talked to a lot of lighting vendors but have not seen anyone else offer anything like it. From the initial meeting, through signing the contract, to the actual event and all the way until takedown, Angel has been nothing but extremely professional. He even personally took the initiative to overcome some crucial last minute logistical hurdles we encountered with the venue, which saved us a ton of headaches during the week of the big day. In terms of equipment, we booked 4 intelligent moving heads on 5ft light-up trusses for the main dancefloor, along with 24 LED up-lights for the rest of the event space per Angel's recommendation. During reception at sunset, 2 heads acted as spotlights while the others projected an elegant spinning pattern on the ceiling. Once the sun went down and the dance floor opened up, we were completely blown away by how all the lights worked together to transform the venue into a high-end nightclub in the sky. We were especially impressed by how the lights came alive under Angel's control - from the way they aptly adapted to various activities of the evening, to how they reacted dynamically to the changing beat of the music to create an electrifying atmosphere. It's impossible to describe how good the lights looked, so I've uploaded a few videos of them in action - hopefully they show up. Similar to another reviewer, we were initially going to cheap out on lights, but we are so glad we listened to Angel and booked the equipment he recommended. It was easily one of the best decisions we've made for the wedding. I'm honestly shocked that SBL isn't fully booked 6 months out because they are such a hidden gem for their caliber of work for what they're charging. Many other lighting vendors quoted us 1.5-2x for similar packages, and I doubt they could've done it better. Lastly, thank you again to Angel at SBL for helping make our dream wedding become a reality! If you're still reading this, better book them ASAP because they're only going to get busier and more expensive!

From the very beginning Michelle was organized, responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day perfect. What started as a vendor-client relationship quickly grew into something that felt much more personal. She truly cared about us, our vision, and making sure every detail came together seamlessly. On our wedding day everything ran so smoothly because of Michelle. She handled all the behind the scenes logistics, coordinated with vendors, kept everyone on schedule, and allowed my husband and me to be fully present and enjoy every moment. Any stress or last-minute issues were taken care of before we even knew about them. Since the wedding we've received countless compliments from our guests. Many have told us it was one of the best weddings they've ever attended and we honestly credit so much of that to Michelle's hard work, experience, and dedication. Beyond being an incredible coordinator Michelle is simply an amazing person. She made the planning process enjoyable and always made us feel supported. By the end of the process she felt more like my bestie than just a wedding coordinator. If you're thinking about hiring Michelle as your wedding coordinator, do it. It was hands down one of the best decisions I made during the entire wedding planning process and I can confidently say our wedding would not have been the same without her. Thank you Michelle for making our dream wedding a reality. You exceeded every expectation and helped create a day that was even more beautiful and magical than we could have imagined. We will forever be grateful for your kindness, dedication, and support. You are truly the best at what you do. I could go on and on about how much wonderful Michelle is but I'll end it here for now haha. Call her and book her. You won't regret it one bit. She is truly amazing at what she does and made our entire experience unforgettable.

I was so impressed with the energy and fun everyone had at her wedding that I immediately followed him and saved his information. So when my sister asked me for a DJ recommendation for her wedding, he was the first DJ that came to my mind, and Im so glad my sister and my brother in law chose him. DJ Mar was outstanding! From start to finish, he provided an excellent service to my sister and my brother in law on their special day. He is extremely professional, easy to work with, and knows exactly how to keep the party going. His music selection was perfect, reading the crowd and playing the best mix of songs to keep everyone on the dance floor all night long. The energy was electric, and every single guest had an incredible time! If you're looking for a DJ who will make your event unforgettable, DJ Mar is the one!

We had several Zoom meetings where they took the time to understand our vision and specific requests. They were incredibly professional and responded quickly to most of our emails, which made us feel so at ease during the stress of wedding planning.  What truly stood out was their bilingual service in Korean and English. It made such a difference for our guests to feel included in both languages. On the day of, they followed every instruction and song request perfectly. Most importantly, they executed our 'walk down the aisle' song with zero mistakes--it was a critical moment for us, and they nailed it. They came to the venue early to set up. Our guests loved the dance floor and were engaged throughout dinner service and game time.

The best thing about our wedding, second to marrying each other, was choosing SixteenFourteen…read moreEvents as our wedding planners and design team! I'm someone who is very type A and has my own share of experience with event/party planning, but I just didn't have the bandwidth to plan and manage a wedding of our size. So when we were looking for planners, we wanted a dedicated team that could help make our dreams a reality. We searched and interviewed a few different planning teams and immediately connected with Jojo during our first introduction meeting. Even before we officially got in contract with them, she created a beautiful, personalized design deck that highlighted everything we wanted in our wedding: an extravagant 3-day affair anchored by an elegant black-tie wedding day, a 300-guest count, and a weekend filled with the richness of both our Ethiopian and Cape Verdean cultural backgrounds. We opted for the "Partial Planning and Design Package" and got connected with an amazing team spearheaded by Renee for Planning, and Jojo for Design. We were blown away by their level of professionalism, organization, and attention to detail. Beyond that, they were both such great people in general, with bubbly, energetic personalities that matched well with us as a couple. Our monthly meetings were always structured and goal-oriented, and their network of vendors is unmatched. And this was all before the wedding. The day of, they were real-life superheroes - going from place to place managing all the timelines with big smiles on their faces, including baskets loaded with our favorite snacks and drinks to make sure we weren't hungry or thirsty. They also attended to the needs of not just us as the couple, but our entire bridal party and family as well. After the wedding, we did a recap session and found out the biggest "disaster" that happened behind the scenes was that someone's car almost got a ticket. Truly our large, multi-day wedding went off without a single major hitch. Our guests still rave about how beautiful, intentional, and organized our wedding was, and it was all thanks to the team at SFE. I could go on and on, but there is no better planning team than SFE. If you want a wedding that runs like a dream and looks like a dream, SFE is who you call.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Sixteenfourteen Events for our wedding, and we can…read moreconfidently say they were one of the best decisions we made. From full-service planning, vendor management, to day-of coordination, this team--especially our lead planner Renee and designer Jojo--went above and beyond every step of the way. What stood out the most was how deeply they cared about us and our wedding. On the wedding day, we fully trusted them to run the show, and because of that, we got to relax, eat, dance, and actually enjoy every moment of our night--something we know many couples don't get to say. Our guests even complimented how smooth and organized everything felt! The run-of-show was flawlessly executed, and the team handled everything seamlessly. Throughout the planning journey, they kept us on track with monthly checklists, shared timelines through Google Docs, and used Slack to make communication clear and efficient. As someone who's naturally indecisive, I truly appreciated their patience and guidance throughout all the big (and small) decisions. They communicated with all our vendors, scheduled meetings, and lifted so much weight off our shoulders. But the most emotional part for me was seeing our elegant Filipiniana vision come to life. There were so many cultural details we dreamed of incorporating but weren't sure were even possible. Renee, Jojo, and the Sixteenfourteen team brought them to reality in the most stunning way. I cried when I saw the venue--it was more than we ever imagined. Finances are usually something that stops people (we hesitated too!) from booking a planner because we think that we can do it our selves or task friends and family. But honestly with our busy schedules it was worth every penny. We got to enjoy our engagement year and also kept our friends and family stress free on top of it. It's so worth it. If you're looking for a planning team that is organized, professional, and truly invested in your day, I couldn't recommend Sixteenfourteen Events more. They didn't just help us plan a wedding--they gave us the gift of being fully present and joyful on one of the most important days of our lives.
