Janna and her team were WONDERFUL. Such positive energy, very professional, helpful, kind, and…read morethoughtful. You want to be in capable hands and just enjoy yourself on your big day, and Orange Blossom was absolutely that for us. I'm prone to overthinking, so I was amazed at how smoothly everything went and how little I thought about logistics on the wedding day, because they were all handled to perfection. We got married at King Gillette Ranch which is basically a completely empty space you have to build out from scratch with your vendors. Janna kept things going with a smile. All the vendors knew what to do and set things up impeccably. During the event, Janna safeguarded us when needed, moved us along when needed, and let us enjoy ourselves without interruption when we could. She and her team thought of so many touches big and small that really made our day, even something like having a drink and apps ready just for us after the ceremony. And the items they set up were done beautifully. Janna even came to help me with a wardrobe malfunction that I couldn't figure out how to fix. It was a real-life fairy godmother moment! All this to say that you can trust this team, and I am so grateful that I did. We went with the Lantana package (coordination), which obviously meant we had to do some of the heavy lifting and research in preparation for the wedding, but it was invaluable to have the guidance of Janna the whole way. I would say it was very worth it for the amount of involvement she had a whole year in advance. She sent us vendor recommendations, a planning calendar, looked at contracts, and we had monthly calls. We kept track of our budget, would call and book vendors, picked rentals and flowers (design), handled stationary, RSVPs, DIYs, and a million other things that go into planning a wedding. I liked being able to make decisions, and stayed on top of things with spreadsheets and lists, but I wouldn't have felt comfortable doing it without an expert like Janna who could keep me on track so nothing important fell through the cracks. It was also incredibly useful to be able to ask her anything throughout the process if I had any questions. And Janna eventually took over vendor communications about 1 month out, which allowed us to focus on final prep all couples go through, and guests trickling into town. It was the perfect amount of involvement for us.

Very last minute our wedding venue told us we needed a day-of coordinator. It wasn't something…read morementioned to us before. We had already done all the footwork, booked vendors, had the timeline done and sent to vendors, planned, etc.... EVERYTHING was done! We were trying so hard to find a place that understood the situation and that we didn't need an over all planner/coordinator but a day-of coordinator. Lily from Orange Blossom stepped up to the plate and did a phenomenal job!! She understood that we just needed someone there the day of and she never once overstepped or made us feel stressed. She followed our wishes perfectly and made sure our timeline was fulfilled to a T! Lily is extremely professional, patient and kind. She goes above and beyond on the day and made sure nothing went wrong!! We greatly appreciate Lily for taking us on as clients and being so easygoing, organized and kind! I also want to stress that Orange Blossom and Lily were kind enough to give us a discount since we had already done all the footwork! They didn't feel it was morally right to charge us for an overall planner/coordinator. It's rare (especially in the wedding industry) to find people with such great morals, integrity and kindness. But Lily and Orange Blossom are full of that! Thank you so much for all of your help, Lily! We appreciate you so much!! She deserves a raise and all the flowers. She's truly the best!

Christine introduced me to vendors that I would have never had the pleasure of meeting or knowing about... She attended every meeting with me and was always available via phone call or text. It's one thing to know vendors in the industry, any coordinator can do that, but her taste and her ability to grasp your visions and turn them into a reality is a talent that is unparalleled. For weeks and months after my wedding I received phone calls and texts from relatives and friends telling me how beautiful and fun our wedding was. Overall, it was my absolute pleasure to work with Christine and her staff. I can't wait to have another special occasion so that I could work with Christine again. I'm so honored to have been a FancyBride!

Looking back at how special our wedding was to us and how it all came together fabulously, i have…read moreto give a huge shout out to Amber G of Amber Events. Planing your wedding can be a daunting task, stressful, chaotic, filled with drama, and sometimes disappointing and this is where Amber stepped in and saved us. Hiring Amber was one of the best decisions we made. Amber understood our vision and already had ideas of how to achieve them even before we officially hired her. You really cant say that about every vendor or wedding coordinator out there. For some vendors its just a contract but for Amber its creating a bond and we are grateful for that. Amber provides three different types of services depending on how much assistance you need in achieving your dream. Wedding Supervisor: http://www.amberevents.com/graphics/WeddingSUPERVISION.pdf Wedding Director: http://www.amberevents.com/graphics/WeddingDIRECTION.pdf Wedding production: http://www.amberevents.com/graphics/WeddingPRODUCTION.pdf We opted for the Wedding Director package since we already had booked some of the vendors. We needed someone to put all of our ideas together and make them work cohesively. Amber was all of that and a bag of chips. She had fantastic ideas, advice, took care of all of our vendors including the problematic ones, got us organized, gave us monthly tasks to complete, wedding day outline, rehearsal management, and the list goes on and on. Amber was very instrumental with our art deco theme ideas designing our invitation card, save the date cards, and using old luggage as part of our theme. Our wedding went off without a hitch. There were no problems with any of the vendors and they all knew what they had to do and at what time. All thanks to Amber and her amazing managerial skills and timeline mastery. We got what we wanted, to spend our wedding day with friends and family that we love stress free and most importantly smiling throughout the night celebrating our special day. Amber, Angela and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts and we don't consider you a "vendor" but a friend. Thank you for helping us make our vision and dream come true.

From beginning to end, Carole was with us every step of the way. We had multiple Google chats, meet ups for picking out table settings, walk throughs of our venue and all along the way she took copious notes and made us feel so confident in our vision.  The day of the wedding, we literally worried about nothing! Carole's assistant, Schullie, is an actual angel and followed me (the bride) with water during family photos and literally anything we needed. I cannot stress how easy they made our lives on the most special day! THANK YOU!  Just hire them, I promise you will not be disappointed.

I am a very detail-oriented person, and it means I tend to overwhelm myself with projects and high standards. Carole stepped in with calmness and exceptional organization. She not only kept everything on track, but she also handled every vendor seamlessly. She communicated clearly, kept everyone accountable, and ensured that each moving piece came together exactly as I hoped. Her team worked from sunup to sundown with incredible dedication. They picked up the slack wherever I had unfinished details, helped complete projects I had started, and made sure every element was executed beautifully. The servers she provided were professional, attentive, and diligent throughout the entire event. At the end of the day, their cleanup was just as impressive as the setup. I was able to fully enjoy the celebration without worrying about logistics, which is truly priceless when hosting such a special occasion. Carole and her team are a dream. I am deeply appreciative of their hard work, professionalism, and heart. I would recommend Bright Blue Events without hesitation to anyone looking for an event coordinator who is organized, proactive, and genuinely invested in making your event amazing. Thank you Carole and team!!

We hired Falon to be our month-of coordinator for our wedding at Millwick in March 2023, and this…read moredefinitely was the best choice we could've made in our entire wedding planning process. Falon played a huge part in making our wedding event an incredible success, and she does it all with such a contagious effortlessness and coolness that you can't help but feel that everything is going to run smoothly no matter what while she is around. In the weeks before the wedding, while my partner and I were scrambling to make sure we had all of our logistics in order, she organized everything that needed to be done in a way that was easy to manage and coordinate, and it helped bring down our stress levels a lot. We could easily see that we were working with a master in this field, and her vast knowledge and experience in wedding planning was so helpful in guiding us making decisions throughout this entire process. She also made it so easy for us to communicate with her at any time with any questions we had, and she always responded quickly. On the day of the wedding, seeing Falon in action was an awe to behold. She took on the organization and setup of all the wedding decor, made sure that all the other vendors arrived on time and had everything they needed, and expertly managed the timeline of the day, making adjustments where needed to ensure we were never too off-track. She was always calm and focused, but never felt cold or too strict. She always asked the right questions at the right times when she needed to, and even though she was handling a million things, she never made herself unapproachable if we had any questions or requests for her. Even when we had a moment during our wedding that threatened to almost drive everything wildly off-course, she remained cool as a cucumber and worked with us to course correct. She is personally responsible for allowing our wedding to surpass every expectation we had and ending up being one of the most memorable and best events we have experienced so far. It is not an exaggeration when I say that she took care of everything from beginning to end, so that we were just able to enjoy and savor the day we had planned so long for. In conclusion, if you plan on having a wedding at any of the amazing Marvimon properties, do yourself a favor and hire Falon. She is the key ingredient that will ensure that you have a successful wedding, guaranteed.

Prior to reading this review, I'd like to tell you that words and examples will not be able to…read morecompare to the amazing job Lauren and her team did for our wedding. This review is for her wedding day (day-of) coordination. Prior to the wedding, Lauren had provided us a general outline of things to consider and specific items that would need to be completed by a certain time (unfortunately, my husband and I were completely terrible with these deadlines, but Lauren slowly worked on this with us.) Every time we spoke on the phone (on SEVERAL occasions), she would always ask us how we were feeling and soothe our nerves when it came down to all the details. I am all about customer service and Lauren could not have been more polite, sincere, and heart warming! Still not convinced? Let me be more concrete in the examples in which Lauren and her team handled well: - The Cake: Four Seasons agreed to do a dairy-free cake for us since my husband is allergic to dairy products; however, without dairy, the cake turned out to be a disaster. The cake had to be sent back to the pastry chef four times and almost collapsed at one point! Lauren went to bat for us! She immediately contacted the Four Seasons coordinator and straightened everything out! We got a cake, received our money back for the wedding cake and a huge apology from Four Seasons. Of course, this was all behind the scenes and Lauren told me as soon as we were done taking pictures and everything was solved! Let me say, I love how Lauren handled this situation because she made sure that the situation was under control before notifying me AND she did not keep me out of the loop (yes, I was one of those brides that wanted to know if a disaster happened). - Timing: Weddings go by so quickly, Lauren was on top of her game when it came to each minute and the timeline of our schedule! I love how organized she was when it came down to our schedule. - The Wedding Dress: My beautiful satin wedding dress was unfortunately wrinkled during transportation. Lauren and her team were trying to steam it out to no avail. With time running out, she immediately handled it with the hotel and had my dress pressed and steamed within 20 minutes. - Presence: Lauren had several people on her team. While Lauren was consistently running around, she made sure that one of her assistants was with me and my girls at all times. Yes, so many things did not go according to plan at our wedding and only people like Lauren would be able to transform all these disasters into a beautiful wedding. While my husband and I were on a very strict and limited budget, my only regret is that we did not hire Lauren as a full wedding coordinator. Thank you so much Divine Events! Words will never be enough to thank you for all that you've done. STILL not convinced? Just meet with Lauren, I guarantee you'll fall in love with her!

We hired Lauren for the day of wedding coordination package and were more than pleased with the services she and her team provided. My husband and I had nearly 300 friends and family members in attendance for our special day. We were married at the Japanese American Cultural and Community Center's James Irvine garden. We had our reception in the courtyard in front of the Japanese American Theater. The JACCC provided a wedding coordinator, but we had personality conflicts with her. Lauren was amazing and was able to communicate with the on-site coordinator and our vendors to make sure that everything ran smoothly on our special day. Lauren met with us prior to the wedding to make sure that we knew what we needed to have done. She also communicated with our bridal party and families to make sure they also knew when and where they needed to be. Overall, if information was needed, Lauren made sure it was communicated and done so clearly. The night before the wedding, I slept easily, because I knew that we were in good hands. Upon arriving at the wedding site to get ready, I felt confident that our wedding day was going to be everything we hoped for and more. Lauren and her team made sure to take care of everything they said they would and calmly handled any problems. They handled them so well that even a year and a half later, I don't know if anything went wrong. I recommend Lauren and her team to anyone that I hear is getting married. Any bride and groom would be lucky to have their special day in the hands of Lauren and her team at Divine Events!
