We worked with Adrienne as our wedding coordinator and she was WONDERFUL! She was professional,…read moreresponsive, and very organized. Also, Adrienne was very flexible and always had a calm demeanor, especially in the final month or two when some things seemed to be not going as planned. We always knew we could count on Adrienne! Adrienne also created a very organized and detailed Design board slideshow that was very useful when communicating with other vendors.

It was such a pleasure having Kaci as the lead planner for our amazing wedding in LA. 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.

The moment Lilian and her team take over the planning/coordination, you can feel a wave of complete…read morepeace and joyful anticipation sweep over the entire event. 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!

Just wanted to sing praises for the amazing support Alexis provided for our wedding dinner at Bar…read moreChelou. 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 :)

Helen was such a wonderful month-of coordinator for our wedding: extremely detail-oriented,…read morefriendly, helpful, experienced, a joy to work with. She recommended amazing vendors who will all be getting 5 star reviews from us too (check out Meredith from Zoom Theory if you need an amazing event photographer in the Los Angeles area -- so grateful to Helen for helping us find her!). Overall, we are so glad to have met Helen and have her guide us through this experience. Without her things would have been chaotic and stressful. But with her help we were able to create one of the best days ever! Our wedding was at La Venta Inn in Palos Verdes; Helen had worked at the venue many times; our event went off without a single hitch; everything was absolutely perfect. Emphatic 5 stars from us.

Helen is responsive to emails and phone calls from beginning to end. She has her own staff and a top notch assistant, Chad. We combed through quite a few other planners and ultimately decided on Helen and Eighteen Place Cards. We too read the reviews and were not too sure how legitimate all of the 5 star ratings were, so we really gave Helen the 3rd degree, 10 months before the wedding date. Specifics: Helen checked in with us regarding every single detail from the venue [The Noor], ALL of our vendors, and remained on top of it all every step of the way. She was constantly going the extra mile at every turn and never once did she drop the ball, or fail at any of the tasks! We were demanding and we put a lot on her shoulders, but she proved to us she knew her job and performed extremely well. Helen and her team always responded with a 'can do attitude', while maintaining a professional demeanor. To say that we are grateful to have done business with Helen, would be a complete understatement. She and Chad are dedicated to getting the job done, no matter what. Everything came together perfectly as a result of her planning, execution and commitment. My daughter's wedding day was a total success because of Helen, Eighteen Place Cards, Chad and the rest of her staff. The proof is in the pudding. All of our guests commented on how nice everything was and how much fun they had. I know for a fact this was a direct result of Helen's passion and dedication to her profession. To sum it all up, I will most definitely utilize Helen for future events. She is worth every dollar we spent, and more. My entire family thanks you very kindly Helen. Respectfully, Ralph G.

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.

There is a sweet, reassuring grace to the way Amy guides a wedding day from start to finish…read more Having shared many wedding mornings with her over the years, I've always admired how she handles the unexpected. No matter what changes behind the scenes, Amy has a way of protecting the bride's peace. While our team focuses on hair and makeup, she quietly brings all the moving pieces together without ever letting the bride feel the stress about any details. That kind of care is a gift. Amy leads with warmth, humility, and confidence, making everyone around her feel supported. Working alongside her is always a joy, and I'd happily recommend her to any couple!

Even somehow found us a Dokkbukki (Korean rice cake) vendor for our cocktail hour (see pictured) She's very good for the "modern" customer.

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.

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. We worked with her for a wedding like no other, it was…read morecomplicated in that we had a venue switch about 2 months prior to the wedding, and she helped navigate through it with us like the true professional she is. 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.
