All I had to do was describe my vision for our event and she did the rest. Constant updates on pieces she wanted to incorporate along with pricing. She worked so hard at getting us the best deal! She stayed within our budget but somehow managed to exceed my expectations. The day of the shower I felt like everything just fell into place and I completely trusted her timing and judgement. I know the time and effort it took her and will be forever grateful!

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!!

There is a sweet, reassuring grace to the way Amy guides a wedding day from start to finish…read more Having shared many wedding mornings with her over the years, I've always admired how she handles the unexpected. No matter what changes behind the scenes, Amy has a way of protecting the bride's peace. While our team focuses on hair and makeup, she quietly brings all the moving pieces together without ever letting the bride feel the stress about any details. That kind of care is a gift. Amy leads with warmth, humility, and confidence, making everyone around her feel supported. Working alongside her is always a joy, and I'd happily recommend her to any couple!

Amy was super easy to work with. Our wedding was relatively low demand in terms of structure but…read moreshe went above and beyond to accommodate the oddball requests we had that were outside of the purview of traditional wedding activities. Even somehow found us a Dokkbukki (Korean rice cake) vendor for our cocktail hour (see pictured) She's very good for the "modern" customer. Very capable when it comes to organizing through online systems and knows how to source through social media. Probably good for older folks too, but if you're a younger couple, you'll find her style very easy and efficient.

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!

This review is for Cortney's full planning service for our wedding at The Ebell of Los Angeles in…read moreMay 2026. We found her through The Ebell's preferred vendor list after securing our venue, and booked her about eight months out from our big day -- which many will tell you is on the shorter end of the planning timeline. We had a lot of work to do together over the 8 months, but Cortney made it all possible (and enjoyable as well)! Also worth mentioning - as Bay Area-based clients planning a wedding in Los Angeles, we especially appreciated how seamlessly Cortney supported us through every step of the long-distance planning process. Cortney is infectiously positive and genuinely committed to helping you execute a wedding that feels like you. We came to her with a lot of specific, unconventional ideas -- the kind that a more traditional wedding planner might have pushed back on or struggled to execute. She embraced every single one of them, helped us shape them into something cohesive, and made us feel like no vision was too much to ask for. That willingness to truly work with us rather than steer us toward something more conventional made all the difference. Every person who attended has told us it was the best wedding they've ever been to -- and as cliché as it sounds, it was genuinely the best day of our lives. We were able to be present and enjoy every moment, and on the day itself, we were told we were the most relaxed couple -- which is a direct reflection of the work we put in together with Cortney leading up to it. We also want to specifically call out the vendors she recommended: our DJ, live music, and stationery were all EXCEPTIONAL and felt completely personalized to us in a way we hadn't expected. If you're looking for a planner who is trustworthy, joyful to work with, and will champion your vision no matter how unique it is -- book Cortney. We are so grateful for her and for making this journey as beautiful as the day itself. Photos were taken by the incredible Tomasz Wagner! (IG: tomaszwagnerco)

Rain or Shine, Ingrid had us Covered!…read more I had the pleasure of working with Ingrid from Grand Entrance Affairs for a destination wedding in Utah. I was part of the hair and makeup team that traveled from California to Utah for our awesome bride and groom. Working with Ingrid was such a great experience. She handled all the travel logistics--flights, hotel, rental car for our vendor team which made everything so easy for us. We just had to show up! She was super organized, responsive, and truly went the extra mile - even checking in during the bride's hair and makeup trial to make sure things were going smoothly. She made the whole weekend run seamlessly. That weekend, the weather started out brisk and cool, then it was beautiful and sunny, then cloudy and gray with torrential rain and double digit wind speeds. And then, it snowed. For a bunch of California girls, Ingrid was the reason why we were well prepared for all of it! If you're planning a destination wedding or any special occasion, I highly recommend Ingrid and the Grand Entrance Affairs team. Top-tier communication and coordination.
