First, I must apologize to Monica and Lori for a very late review. Although this is over a year late (my wedding was in October 2016) I do remember all the positive and wonderful experience I had with both of them!
I came across Ladies on Palace at the Bridal Bazaar in San Diego. I put my name down in their raffle and was able to speak to Lori that day. I remember meeting a few coordinators that day, but Ladies on Palace stuck in my head because of how friendly Lori was! A week or so passed and I received a call from them stating I had won their raffle for 25% off any of their packages! I was so excited I won because I never win anything and I'm so glad I did because I was able to work with them. I met up with them to go over their packages and that's when I met Monica! Because of how tight our budget was, I was only able to book them as our day of coordinator, but they also provided us with some support weeks and days before the wedding. They were so much fun to work with and made it very easy for me! I met up with them about 3 more times in person to go over details of what I wanted and final details of the wedding. The week of the wedding I was able to drop off all of the things I had that we needed at the venue to them and they were gonna handle transporting and setting up everything at the venue. My communications with them through email and text messages were always responded in a timely and professional manner.
As for the day of the wedding, they were even more wonderful! They took care of me and my husband and basically everything we needed that day. They set up everything the way I wanted and they handled communications with all my vendors, making sure everything and everyone was were they needed to be. They kept us on track with the timeline and they made sure me and my husband were fed, comfortable and taken care off with anything we needed. I felt well attended to and loved with the attention and concern they had over us. There were some issues/miscommunication with our caterer and they were able to handle it and let us know what was up after. Because of their attention to details we were able to get a bit of a refund from our caterer. Getting money back is always a plus after spending quite a bit already! My DJ even complemented them, letting me know he's worked with quite a few coordinators and they were one of the best if not the best he's worked with. He said they were on point and knew what they were doing, and I totally agree with him.
Lori and Monica made that day run very smoothly and easy for us. We can't thank them enough for all the help they provided us and making it stress free for me! I would recommend them to anyone who has an upcoming wedding or event they need coordinators or wedding planning for. I have already referred 2 people to them, and hopefully they go with your company because I can only say great things about both of you. read more
