What truly captures our incredible experience with Wayne and The Moments Team, is my thank you…read moreletter: Dearest Wayne, Travis and The Moments Team, It's been quite difficult to sit down and write this letter to you. I saved the best for last and knew when the time came, this final thank you would conclude our absolutely amazing, wedding planning journey. We connected with you in September of 2016, met in October, signed our contract with you in December, and every interaction leading up to September 29th, 2017 has been such a joy for us! Wayne, you and your team are incredibly responsive, so accommodating, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. Our wedding rehearsal and wedding day were BEYOND perfect! We observed how the deep, trusting, and respectful relationships you have with Shutters, Casa, and 204 Events was crucial in the execution and timing of it all. Wayne, thank you for meeting with me in Pacoima so I could finalize each detail of our extensive rental order. Thank you for returning every call and email so promptly (and with much detail). Thank you for driving over the hill for several meetings with our hotel and vendors. Thank you for being so warm and welcoming with our family and accommodating a rehearsal on the sand. Thank you for getting excited with me at 7:00am in the morning of the wedding, as we watched the stage being built on the beach. Thank you for delivering a sample of our tray pass, since we decided to miss our cocktail reception. (That was SO PERFECT, such a surprise, and I was SO hungry LOL) Thank you for being the only one we shared our cake cutting moment with. And thank you for making sure our wedding items were collected and stored back in our bridal suite. Kent and I are forever grateful. With much love and appreciation.

I chose Moments by Wayne for my Casa Del Mar wedding on the recommendation of the venue. When I…read morefirst met Wayne, I had no idea what an amazing and professional wedding coordinator he would be and what a wonderful staff supports him. Not only is Wayne such an energetic personality, he is also beyond a professional in this business. He took time to understand my vision for the wedding day and my budget and was able to direct me to high quality, reliable, and professional vendors. He is always available for questions via email, text, and cell phone and gets back to you promptly (even when he's away on vacation with his family for the holidays)! I was so relaxed on my wedding day and able to enjoy every moment because Wayne had meticulously planned the day with me and he knew how I wanted the day to feel, look, and unfold. My father can't stop talking about how stress free the day was because Wayne and his assistants Sonya and Jen were all there taking care of everything! Whenever my dad thought there was a problem arising Wayne would be there immediately to handle it! I can't say enough accolades about Moments by Wayne and all they did to make my wedding day a dream come true. Thank you Wayne, Jen, and Sonya from the bottom of my heart!

Hiring Lauren as our wedding coordinator was the best decision we made during the whole planning…read moreprocess! She was extremely communicative, helpful, honest, and proactive - and helped make our vision a reality. We planned our whole wedding, but also work several jobs and live out of state. So at times, it was challenging to stick to our timeline and keep track of all the moving pieces. Here are the qualities we experienced with Lauren, and I'm confident you'd get the same: PROACTIVE: We shared our planning document with Lauren early on, and she was so great about jumping in and providing recommendations, asking questions we hadn't thought of, and reminding us to do things before it was too late. We had a list of "items we need" and Lauren went so far as to lend us some things she had, search Craigslist/Offer Up/ Etsy to make suggestions, and even went out of her way to pick up some decor for us from a vendor in CA since we were out of state. HELPFUL: Lauren helped us navigate how to get our marriage license and sent us a very detailed email with all the specifics. These little things REALLY add up when you're running 100 miles per hour with your job, planning, family stuff, etc. COMMUNICATIVE: Lauren took the initiative to reach out to all of our other vendors to check in with them, answer questions, provide information and make sure they had what they needed. Towards the end, she also took over communication with our venue on our behalf, which was a weight off my shoulders because they kept forgetting things I had told them! It was nice to have her as the middle-woman. By the time we actually got to the wedding, Lauren was so familiar with our vision and plan that everything was flawless!! ACTION-ORIENTED: I had intended to be much more involved on the day with helping get set up - but I didn't get a single thing done on my to-do list because everyone was talking to us / asking how to help / etc etc - it was so overwhelming but I knew that I could comfortably go upstairs to get ready with the girls and Lauren would have it handled. By the time we walked out for the ceremony, everything was STUNNING. Lauren helped set up the table decor, all the signage, the florals, etc. I had so many family and guests say what a hard worker her and her husband (who showed up to give an extra set of hands) are. I have to admit, I really had to convince my husband (and other family members involved in the wedding) that we even needed a coordinator and to make space for it in the budget. Given that we were planning it all and had so much help, it was difficult to convince some people. We were hesitant at first since every other vendor was a friend or acquaintance and we weren't sure we needed a coordinator. And for all the people who were skeptical about hiring a coordinator, they all understood what a necessary role they plays when they saw Lauren and her husband in action. For anyone in a similar situation: DON'T SKIP OUT ON IT. Having someone that is not directly involved with your guests is essential in getting stuff done. From the planning to having someone give a non-biased perspective, to all the help setting up, breaking down, and making sure guests knew where to go and what to do - the day wouldn't have been the same without Fancy Fern Events. She will allow you to sit back and enjoy your special day with all our closest friends and family, without worrying about a thing! I feel like I've known Lauren for a long time and have developed a friendship I am sure will last far beyond this day. The cherry on the cake was her thoughtfulness after all the festivities - a personal note and gift, and helping us to sell all the items from our wedding. Thank you, Lauren and Fancy Fern Events for going above and beyond to make our wedding magical!

We booked Ryan for our wedding and could not have been happier!…read more Most importantly, he got everyone out on the dance floor and moving. He also did a great job with the transitions into/out of some of the key songs (like our first dance) and also gave us some really good advice on how to order thing so the evening really flowed.

I can't say enough great things about Ryan and Just Dance Events. He was the DJ and MC for our…read morewedding, handled the lighting on top of that, and coordinated with a colleague to create an amazingly produced mashup for our surprise first dance. We were very overwhelmed, as we didn't have a wedding planner, and had to manage everything ourselves. When I met Ryan, I thought he was just a DJ. But he ended up being one of the most instrumental people in bringing the wedding together. He helped with timeline creation, figuring out lighting and power requirements, and was there for us every step of the way. As stressed as we were, he made us feel so at ease. We truly could not have done it without him. I can't recommend Ryan highly enough for both his DJ and lighting services, especially if you are looking for someone that is experienced, has done hundreds of events, and can act as a collaborator through the planning process.

Thank you so much to Mini and her team for bringing our wedding vision to life!…read more And to think we could have done it all on our own, no ma'am! 2 months into wedding planning, we were looking for a planner and found Mini. We had already booked the venue, sent our save-the-dates, and set a budget, so the different service packages came in clutch. We chose the one that best suited our situation and were able to save. We were also sold on their strong, eco-friendly approach to wedding planning! Mini kept us on track, the communication was fantastic, and we always knew where we were in the planning. She handled all communications and vendor processing, which made getting married more enjoyable. We couldn't have done it without her, and we wouldn't have wanted to! We highly, highly recommend Mini and her team! Heaven sent!

We could not have pulled off our perfect, gorgeous wedding without her!! Kimery knows everything there is to know about any facet of weddings. And she has great instincts and amazing suggestions that always made things better, and that were always in service of our vision and the feeling and style we were going for specifically. She always heard us and advocated for us and was in our corner at every step. She was also able to guide us in choosing vendors and vendor packages, and in connecting us with anyone we needed (or wanted), even as new ideas came up! And we had the most amazing folks working on our wedding, literally not a complaint about anyone or anything! She went above and beyond in every way, most significantly when we lot our venue two months before our wedding date. It was a scramble to find a new venue that could do the same date, which Kimery was indispensable in. And then after that we had to re-jigger our plans to the new venue, which at times was overwhelming, but Kimery always talked us through those moments and made it manageable for us. Alex and I could not recommend Kimery more fully. She will make your wedding better, the planning more manageable, and the day-of execution go as smoothly as possible. She really is that good!

Finally, for my birthday, he was available the night I had my dinner at Gerry's Grill. Ron came on time, prepared with equipment, and ready to spin. Not only were the guests at my party enjoying what he was spinning, but everyone in the restaurant was happy! He played a variety of music from reggae to hip hop to house to old skool. It was a nice balance to everyone's ears. One of the things that people don't understand about a good DJ, is that they have a great skill that is practiced, rehearsed, and not easy to do. Ron is very talented and is very reasonable with his rates. I will be hiring Ron for my events in the future and continue to attend his club/lounge gigs as well!
