Planning an event while preparing for a baby and managing life in general can feel overwhelming, and honestly, I don't know what I would have done without her. She cared about every little detail as if it were her own event, always making sure my vision came to life beautifully while also making me feel calm, supported, and taken care of. Her kindness, dedication, and genuine love for what she does shines through in everything. I'm beyond grateful for you, Michelle.

Christina and the entire Sunshine Events team played SUCH a huge role in making our wedding the…read moremost incredible day of our lives, and I truly cannot imagine having done it without them. From my very first call with Christina, I knew she was the one. I had done a ton of research and interviewed several planners, but Christina immediately stood out because of how incredibly detail-oriented, knowledgeable, organized, and informative she was. I got off that first call and just knew I wanted her by our side through this process. And over a full year of planning, Christina kept us on track every step of the way, made sure we always knew what needed to happen next, and despite having various changes (with me changing my mind a lot on everything from design to floral to rentals up until the last minute hah!), she stayed calm and kept us calm through it all. She handled every single curveball with so much patience, flexibility, and professionalism! And then came the actual wedding day, which is where they completely blew us away. Christina and her team were there for us every minute of the day. They made sure we were eating, drinking water, resting when we needed to, staying on schedule, and genuinely not lifting a finger. Every time I even thought I might need something, somehow someone from the team was already there handling it. I knew we were in good hands when Christina walked in that morning carrying what can only be described as a giant box of EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING someone could possibly need on a wedding day lol At one point I got makeup on my dress and before I had time to panic, Christina was right there with a spray from her box and got it out immediately. That little moment perfectly sums up what it felt like to have her with us all day: no matter what happened, she had it handled. And while she was taking such incredible care of us, she and the team were also behind the scenes making sure every single detail of the wedding was set up exactly the way we had envisioned it. We were actually able to be present, enjoy ourselves, and soak in the day. What made the Sunshine Events team even more incredible, though, was how much they showed up for us throughout our ENTIRE wedding weekend. They made sure everything was in great shape for our rehearsal dinner, and then on Saturday, when we threw a big party for our friends, Christina's team was literally there before I even arrived, helping my fiancé set everything up. A very special shoutout to Paige, one of Christina's assistants, who was FABULOUS all weekend and such an amazing presence to have around!! Christina is the kind of planner who makes you feel like nothing could possibly go wrong because even if something DID, you probably would never know about it. She is thoughtful, prepared, patient, incredibly hardworking, and just SOO good at what she does. Christina and the entire Sunshine Events team: THANK YOU!! You were such a huge part of making it the best weekend of our lives, and we are forever grateful. If you are looking for a wedding planner, I genuinely cannot recommend Christina and her team enough!!!

Sunshine Events is absolutely amazing. Hands down, we would not have made it through the day so…read moreseamlessly without them! From start to finish, they were fantastic to work with and we cannot say enough good things about them! We are so, so happy to have hired Christina as our day of coordinator. She is incredibly caring, organized, personable, and professional. As our day of coordinator, she did more than just organize the day of the wedding. She is there from the moment you hire her to help you plan the day, work through decision fatigue, push to meet your goals, remind you of deadlines, and guide you through the entire process. She and her team did a spectacular job making our vision come to life. All the little things you need set up in the morning, the bouquet that needs to be picked up, guest and vendor questions, or the several boxes of decor you need packed up at the end of the night? This dedicated team has it handled! Shout out to Aly who went above and beyond to help fix up a wedding dress malfunction. She stayed steady and calm the entire time. It was truly a stress free day with this team by our side. Thank you Christina and the Sunshine Events team for all your hard work and making our special day all the more wonderful. 10/10 would highly recommend (again and again)!

Hiring Natalie and A Good Affair was THE BEST DECISION WE MADE!…read more If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding planner at all, hire Natalie and A Good Affair. DO IT. It is more than worth it! I got married in December 2025 in my parent's backyard in North Tustin, and people are still talking about how AMAZING our wedding day was! Yes, we have fabulous family and friends who love us, and they made our day extra special, but I'm telling you right now, the day was perfect because of Natalie and her team. The time and effort AGA went into getting to know us and our must-haves put us at ease immediately. Planning a wedding is such a collaborative process, and we walked away from every meeting feeling heard and supported. The outcome? The best day of our lives! Natalie is one of the most professional talents in her field. I'm amazed at how she comes up with her amazing visions, and then brings them to life. Her organization, clear communication, and attention to detail are unmatched. On top of that, she is very well respected in the wedding community. Everyone I came into contact with assured me I was working with the best. SPOILER ALERT: We were! Team AGA took our ideas and transformed them into a well-curated dream. Every detail was beyond what I could have ever imagined! Additionally, Team AGA's experience blew us away. The vendors they recommended were top-tier and brought the wedding day together seamlessly. From the DJ to the caterer to the florist to the HMU team, each vendor was thoughtfully chosen to meet the needs of our wedding. Team AGA truly listened to what we liked and brought together an even better vision than we could have ever hoped for! They anticipated everything, and handled day-of setbacks like pros. They created a calm and easy-going presence that set a peaceful tone for the day. Our wedding party and guests said it was the best wedding they had been to or been a part of. My husband and I felt doted on up until our wedding exit, and we still talk about how much we miss Natalie, Kayla, and Jesica. Team AGA continue to be so thoughtful and sent my sister and I flowers and sweet treats on our birthday in February. They truly became part of our family throughout the wedding planning process. If you're looking to host an event everyone will rave about for years to come, hire A Good Affair. You won't regret it.

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!

Everyone I reached out to had terrible communication and took so long to respond to my inquiries. Pamela reached out to me and made me feel so comfortable and well taken care of since day one.

I had a great experience with Mele Amore Events and especially with our lead planner, Nicole…read more Nicole was an absolute angel and amazing to work with! From day one she was always professional, organized, and communicative yet super friendly and personable. It felt like we were planning our wedding with a good friend who really cared about us. If it's within your budget to hire a professional wedding planner, I absolutely recommend you do it. For me, I was willing to cut our budget elsewhere to afford a wedding planner because I don't enjoy planning parties and had no interest trying to DIY plan one of the most important events of my life. Looking back now, hiring Mele Amore was the best decision we made. I had a family emergency come up the week of my wedding - my dad was hospitalized days before the wedding and wasn't able to attend. It was a scary and stressful time and I hope no other bride ever has to experience anything like that, but it's in moments like these where having a professional planner proves to be invaluable. It was such a relief to know that Nicole had all the wedding details handled so I could just focus on my family situation and on mentally preparing myself for the wedding day despite the sadness I felt. My dad obviously had a lot of roles in the wedding, but we were able to scramble to make alterations, which I thank my wonderful family and Nicole for stepping up and helping with. Nicole made all the necessary adjustments to the schedule and notified all of our vendors of the situation, so everyone was sensitive, kind, and comforting to me on the wedding day which really helped me feel better. It turned out to still be a beautiful and joyful day despite the circumstances and I am able to look back on my wedding day fondly - for that I will forever be grateful to Nicole and Mele Amore! Nicole was able to deliver the wedding we wanted within our discussed budget and I am still stunned to this day on how beautiful our florals and decor looked with the budget we had! The owner, Michelle, handles the designs and totally nailed the look we were going for: cozy, romantic, and luxe without being over-the-top or gaudy. I had so much fun going through mood boards and the mock-up with Nicole, but the actual reception design day of completely exceeded our expectations. On the wedding day, we had Nicole plus two assistants with us the entire time. They were all so great at keeping everything on schedule, getting people to where they needed to be, and stopping family members from mobbing us to take a million phone photos. Despite the stress leading up to the wedding, the actual wedding day itself went really smoothly and was pretty stress-free. If there were any issues on our wedding day my husband and I don't know about them, which is how it should be! Thank you so much to Nicole, Michelle, and the Mele Amore team for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

Miya was such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process! My husband…read moreand I were planning our wedding from out-of-state, so having someone local and familiar with the venue was a priority. Miya came highly recommended from our venue (Agape 1928), and picking her was one of the best decisions we made! She has a great network of people and vendors, and she had worked closely with many of our other vendors which was great to hear! During the initial planning we weren't sure about having videography, but Miya suggested an amazing videographer within our budget and we are so glad we went with her suggestion! Miya is incredibly organized and communicative. Any little question we had, she would know the answer to! She helped guide us through a lot of decisions and created a detailed timeline for the day and managed all the final details leading up. A few days before the wedding I had to change our rental order with some last minute changes and Miya had the update ready to go in a heartbeat! During the wedding we had a couple changes/hiccups to the timeline (as expected with any event), but she was super flexible and had the best suggestions to keep the day flowing perfectly. She is super sweet and helped us feel so grounded and present throughout the entire wedding day. A great coordinator really is the foundation for your wedding, and we are so grateful for Miya!

Because of Miya, we were able to fully relax and have the best day of our lives. We genuinely couldn't have done it without her. I would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding--especially in Orange County. Her familiarity with local vendors and resources makes the entire process seamless.

I am in the business to make money and not worry about planning or designing for events…read more **Scout Around** This is where art meets finesse and Laura definitely delivers. I was referred to Laura through a friend because I was asking around for an event planner and I was given several names from associates and friends. I called around and do what i do best, interview people and try to get inside their head to really understand who they are. Anybody can put a label on himself/herself and say i'm a planner. But if you're passionate about planning an event to ensure it comes out to the client's expectation, it will show in your enthusiasm and conversation. This is what I do best for business, I present materials, provide consultation, and find solutions and I love it. Clients find this quality attractive in me (not trying to get big headed) because I'm truly passionate about wanting to help out. As a result, I know what to look for when I select someone to help me with a service/job. ***My Expectation and Who I Am*** In my business, I deal with hundreds of clients a year and I cater to each and every one of them. When I give business to someone, I expect the same because that's what I deliver, excellence and exact communication. Out of all the planners I interviewed, I had a hunch Laura could follow through and I wasn't proven wrong. She went beyond what I could have predicted. ****Services Rendered**** I set up a event for some clients and I needed it to look professional, well planned, and the ambiance needed to look like something from the Ritz Carlton. Laura planned everything I needed and didn't bother with me the small details. I gave Laura my power of attorney when it came to planning and I'm glad I did. *****Networking Plus***** Laura has a huge network of other professionals she works with and for me, it's worth my time because I don't have to look for a DJ, catering company, and lighting. Of course, I did my due diligence and pre-interviewed each and every one of them before I said, "yes" and as the saying goes, "You are who you work with" is absolutely true for Laura. All her referrals were great. Someday when the powers at be (God and his sovereign plan), blesses me with a wife, I will definitely use Laura again as a wedding planner!
