We had a vision for our wedding, and wanted something we felt would be meaningful and represent us…read moreand our lives, but also were on a very tight budget. With our venues in mind (our local public park for the ceremony, a patio at our HOA's community center for the reception, and an after party at our home) and only 6 months until our selected wedding date, we went to Leilani Social to ask if they could help us make it happen. Kim was assigned as our coordinator, and took the challenge in stride. Another team member worked with us and Kim as a designer, and soon they helped us develop a cohesive vision and start thinking about the logistics, securing vendors, and making the many dozens of small but critical decisions to make our wedding day feel like us. Kim met with us many times leading up to the wedding date, coordinated all of the vendor communications by email, and always made time to address our questions and concerns--no detail was too small. She helped coach us through selecting rentals and the minute-by-minute plan for the day, and when we needed to pivot last minute to doing DIY flowers to save money, she supported us through that, too! This review would end up the length of a novel if I tried to cover everything, but just to give a couple examples: Kim helped us design custom drink menus for our reception, found alternatives for glassware and decor when we found out we couldn't have glass or open flame at our venue, and made sure we got a refund from our rental company for the few small items that were missing (which we of course, never even knew about because the Leilani Squad just handled it!). The day before the wedding, Kim met with us and our bridal party to run an efficient and helpful rehearsal, exuding competence and kindness while making sure everyone was ready for the next day. On the wedding day, four amazing Leilani Social team members were present to make it all happen. My day as bride started with a sound bath hosted by one of Leilani's wellness vendors (the wonderful Stephanie with Soul Sounds Alchemy) for myself and my bridesmaids. To be completely honest, I was a bit skeptical at first (especially since it meant we'd have to start our day earlier) but it ended up being so lovely and grounding (thank you, Danielle and Stephanie!). My "lady-in-waiting," Lulu, was amazing, and she spent the whole morning with us, keeping us on track time-wise and helping with all of the little things that came up, like steaming the skirt of my dress. Kim worked tirelessly to transform our blank canvas venues into the magical settings we had envisioned together for ceremony and reception. Arriving at the spaces and seeing our vision realized was an amazing experience. But as bride and groom, our hope was to truly be in the moment and enjoy the day, and Kim, Danielle, and the rest of the Leilani Squad made that possible. They took care of everything, arranging our many DIY elements, receiving each of our many vendors, making sure our guests got from one place to another, and responding to the inevitable hiccups so that the two of us could just enjoy each other, our guests, and our beautiful celebration. As a note, Kim was the last to leave the reception site hours after we did, making sure everything was in top shape and transporting extra drinks and supplies to our nearby home for the after party. She was a champion, and went above and beyond for us. It was truly the best day of our lives, and truly wouldn't have been possible without Kim and the Leilani Squad. We can't thank you or recommend you highly enough!

We had our wedding at The Estate in June 2026, and it was the perfect venue. Their staff, Mimi and…read moreYanel, were so helpful throughout the process and made planning simple and easy. They kept all of our appointments and paperwork organized and didn't hesitate to explain things further if we needed. We did the Signature package, and it was worth every penny. The venue speaks for itself. It is so beautiful and offers a homey feel with plenty of greenery. We had minimal decor as the venue is completely capable of being the star of your decor. The food selections are amazing; we got so many compliments from our guests on the food we served. Our bartender (so sorry we forgot her name) was the best; she made tasty drinks and was friendly to all of our guests. Our DJ, Rigo, was a pleasure to work with. We had a last-minute change due to our music vendor, and he was able to fill the time with the perfect playlist. Thank you again to The Estate team for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of.

Donna is personable, professional, punctual, and extremely responsive to her clients' needs. She is a great problem solver and quickly pivots and fixes any issues without her client ever realizing that there ever was a problem. That takes true talent. For my wedding, she set up the welcome table, cake table, and made adorable signs to direct the guests. She also assisted with floral design from the bulk flowers that I had purchased. I did not stress that day because she handled any issues that came up. I highly recommend hiring Everdream for your next wedding or party. Then 2 years later she helped me do my daughter's 2nd bday party. We rented a backdrop from her and it was perfect and on theme with Disney. She also helped with the table scape setup. Everything looked amazing. I would hire Everdream Events again for future events in a heartbeat!

I started this review in 2015, a year after my wedding, in order to properly allow any negative…read moreemotional feelings from the wedding subside and also to properly assess this company's services. It's now 2017, almost 3 years after my wedding and I'm finally publishing this review. My wife and I hired K&S for our wedding and selected the platinum package, basically so someone could hold our hands throughout the entire process + D.O.C. We had a short timeline, engaged in March with a targeted wedding date in December the same year. In regards to planning, Kym was spot on. Scheduling visits with the flower vendor, negotiating terms with the caterer, and also coordination tasks at the Nixon Library. She's good about telling you what options can be expensive, price ranges for vendors, and creative ideas within a certain budget framework. One minor annoyance was that every meeting she would spend a couple hours with us discussing, writing notes and follow-ups, but then go MIA. The next meeting would require a refresher (like she forgot key details), or we'd be proactive and send out an email or text asking about the status. This problem became so widespread (i.e. she will tell you she'll follow up in 3 days but then go a week with no response), that I had to send an email to her and her partner that they were upsetting the bride. My wife and I prepared everything in advance of the wedding so that Kym's team could setup the day-of. We packaged and organized everything in bags with labels and directions. Signs were installed in photo frames, name cards were bagged alphabetically, and layout was discussed all in advance. We arrive into the reception area the day-of only to find nothing was setup the way my wife asked. She was just so frustrated. The money/card box wasn't put where we asked, which involved a lot of guests coming to ask us what to do. It's almost as if the assistants and other team members didn't know what to do or didn't bother checking with Kym for instructions. This was apparent because the following happened -see below. And finally, the biggest debacle of the night. We had an agreement with the vendor that the consumption bar was to turn into an open bar once the limited was reached. Kym actually helped us with this during the negotiations. One of Kym's assistants for one reason or another got confused and told the caterer to turn the consumption bar into a cash bar. Kym apparently had no idea (not sure how the assistant came to make the decision). No one thought to come notify or ask us. Embarrassingly, our guests had to shell out cash for drinks sometime between 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm. We didn't find out until we visited the bar personally around 9:30 pm, ordered drinks and was asked to pay -imagine our surprise. The caterer apologized, Kym said "this is my fault", accepting responsibility, but the damage was done. My view here is that the wedding coordinator is at fault in this situation as she holds the responsibility to speak on behalf of the bride/groom (or at least check-in with them before making such a decision). And since when does an assistant make a decision like this without checking in with her boss?! Also, Kym was the one that negotiated the catering contract for us, not sure how her team could seriously make such a huge error. One key point to make here, the caterer went out of their way a few days AFTER the wedding to make amends (despite their assertion that they only listened to the K&S team). They offered to treat us to an anniversary dinner and a few comps at their local restaurant. As for K&S? Well they were gone with the wind after that last cash payment made at the wedding. It still leaves a bad feeling in my stomach to this day.

I HIGHLY recommend K &S Events for all the future brides!!…read more Kym was my day-of coordinator but helped me throughout my planning process. She was very easy to get a hold of anytime of they day, she will make time to answer all your questions and make sure you are on the right track. She helped me with my lighting and got me the best possible deal, the lighting company was a mess but she ensured me she would be on top of them and helped me get the exact Gobo light that I wanted and tested it out for me to make sure all the words were clear. She also helped me out big time with my timeline, and kept me on track the day of, without her, I don't know what I would've done. She's very prompt and organized, she made sure my wedding reception looked beautiful. My only regret is that I didn't have her help me with the entire wedding, wish I had her deal with some of my crazy vendors for me before hand. She really came through on my big day and knowing that she was taking care of everything I was able to feel less stressed and enjoyed my ceremony. Many thanks to Kym and K&S Events, I truly appreciate it!!

I saw content from her own wedding day and felt drawn to her to emulate a similar vibe for ours - romantic, ethereal and fun! She was able to read and understand my taste to a tee. As the saying goes, "It is good to be loved. It is profound to be understood." Colette, her team and her preferred vendors provided me with this profound feeling. One person from her team who stood out to me and my husband was Kathleen. As my bridal assistant, she kept things moving seamlessly on our wedding day and kept me fed and hydrated - my love language! My hubby and I had one venue in mind and Colette made it happen immediately. Within that first week of hiring her, she had scheduled a tour for us and we booked it immediately. Yay!

Dennis and 2Create were able to do all of that and more! Dennis is fantastic at communicating, always responding to our many questions and requests with diligence and detail. He put our preferences front and center, taking the time to understand what we were envisioning, and providing his expertise and suggestions when needed. During one of our meetings we off-handedly mentioned our love for our two baby pet tortoises and Dennis went out of his way for turtles to be represented in our decor. Four days before our wedding we needed to change our ceremony location in a series of events we would not wish upon anyone but the silver lining in all this was the vendors like 2Create who were able to handle the wildly last-minute change with grace and professionalism. They made sure that even with the location change they were able to bring to life our vision (and more) and made the decor something to remember. Choosing a wedding decorator is a big decision, and we are so glad we went with 2Create - they are a fantastic company to work with and we couldn't recommend them more!
