She is so seamless in her transitions between Cantonese, Mandarin, and English and we love that her fun personality kept everyone engaged throughout the evening! You can tell Kate is incredibly experienced by how flexible she is with any hiccups. There was a brief mix up with our first dance song, and she was such a professional with pivoting to speeches first and making a great transition back into the first dance. She was also so sweet and nice during our planning call, and really made us feel comfortable because she understands all these family dynamics and really helped us feel grounded leading up to the wedding. If you are in need of bilingual MC services, Kate is 100% the best!

We booked Kate in 2019 after seeing her at a friend's wedding. As soon as we saw her singing and…read moredoing introductions in Cantonese and English, we knew we wanted to book her for our own wedding in 2020. Then pandemic happened and we kept postponing. Kate was so understanding and waited until we were officially ready to have our celebration. Fast forward to 2022, we finally held our wedding. Kate was perfect! She performed as guests were entering the ballroom and she understood the assignment! We had beauty and beast inspired centerpieces and she sang Tale as Old as Time as everyone were finding their seats. Swoon! She was so professional in providing the Cantonese and English translation for our guests. We received many compliments from friends stating how amazing she was. She kept the crowd entertained and involved with everything going on. We could not have picked a better MC for our night. If you're in need of a MC to cater to Chinese speaking family and guests, we definitely recommend Kate.

We hired Sarah for day of coordination for our tea ceremony, western ceremony, and reception, and…read morethe MWS team did not disappoint! We had easy communication leading up to the big day, and on the day of, the team made everything seamless. Once I passed off all decor, things magically appeared in the right place exactly where and when I needed them. They kept us on pace with our timeline, which there was no way we could have managed as the bride and groom. The moms and aunties couldn't stop raving about what a good job they did. Especially since we were able to start dinner on time and not 2 hours late (which can be common in Chinese receptions...).

My husband and I LOVED working with Sarah and her team. If you're looking for non-templated wedding…read moreconcepts, work with Sarah! If this review is too long to read, just check out the images to see our final result. During our planner interviews, we focused on finding someone who could execute our multicultural wedding vision. From MWS' blogs and interview, we could tell they fully understand how to create unique multicultural weddings. One important tip for newly engaged couples - wedding planners don't create the designs of your wedding!! It's the florists' job. So finding a good planner is important because then they'll help you find good vendors, communicate your vision, and make sure everything is executed perfectly on the actual day. We had a BLAST on our wedding day. We knew Sarah's team got our backs, so we weren't stressed at all. I cannot stress enough the importance of the planner's role in your wedding!! They're the project manager. Their leadership and execution will affect your entire wedding and how well your vendors set up everything. The day of the wedding - our hotel venue Pasea hotel promised us that we'd be the only wedding booked on our wedding day. This was promised before we signed with them. On the day of, we realized they double booked another couple's reception without telling us. I actually bumped into the other bride and was very surprised about the whole thing. Sarah talked to the other wedding planner and made sure their music was lowered during our ceremony. everything went smoothly for both parties. 10/10 execution. Another green flag about MWS is that they helped us minimized our budgets. Sarah was real with us lmao. Whenever our ideas went too crazy, she'll hone us back and help find alternatives. Her network of vendors are all affordable and very creative, so that saved us a lot of work. Attitude 10/10. Our guests loved Sarah. She's bubbly but also will get sh*t done. I've been to weddings where stressed out planners would give off weird vibes to the wedding parties, but not this girl. She made everyone felt at ease while rushing people to stick to our schedules of the day. Just wanna say thank you Sarah again for making our most important day magical. You rock and don't be a stranger girl! Love, Brendan and Connie

This is hands down the best Mariachi around!

Several of my guests said the exact same thing, that they thought I had a professional mariachi playing from my sound system because the music was so flawless. They also accommodated several requests from guests and knew all of the songs. I handed out at least 10 of their business cards to guests. They were so impressed. Will definitely be hiring them again for my next occasion. Thank you also to the owner Ivan for being so courteous and professional!

Our experience started when I reached out to Jimmy around February 2026 about having our wedding…read morethat July. We knew it was a short timeline, but Jimmy was incredibly accommodating and immediately made us feel like they would be happy to work with us. At that point, the only thing we had selected was our venue. Other than that, we honestly had no idea where to begin, what needed to be done, or which vendors to choose. Just thinking about everything involved was overwhelming and stressful. After we officially began working with JK Wedding Events, Jimmy, the founder, introduced us to our wedding coordinator, April Lee. Because of the short timeline, my wife and I felt extremely rushed and were constantly thinking, "How are we going to get all of this done?" But Jimmy and April continually reassured us that everything would be okay--and they were right. What we appreciated most was that they never made us feel pressured or bossed around. Instead, they guided us with the heart of a teacher. They patiently walked alongside us, explained what needed to happen, and helped us make decisions throughout the entire process. That was exactly what we were looking for. They helped us navigate practically every major vendor decision, including photography and videography, hair and makeup, catering, flowers, draping, tableware rentals, our wedding cake, and even recommendations for wedding dresses and tuxedos. Honestly, if my wife and I had tried to research and coordinate all of those vendors by ourselves, it probably would have caused so many headaches and arguments that we might not have had a wedding at all! Of course, planning any wedding will come with some ups and downs, but JK Wedding Events minimized the stress as much as anyone possibly could. When our wedding day finally arrived in July 2026, everything was on point. All of the vendors understood the plan, everything was executed smoothly, and April did an amazing job keeping the day on schedule and making sure everything continued flowing without any issues. Jimmy also served as our MC and DJ during the reception, and he was fantastic! He kept our guests engaged, entertained, and laughing while maintaining a fun atmosphere throughout the night. His music selections kept everyone enjoying the vibe and made the celebration even more memorable. It has now been about a month since our wedding, and I am finally catching up and writing this review because JK Wedding Events absolutely deserves the recognition. Whether you need help planning your wedding from the very beginning, finding a venue, selecting vendors, or coordinating any other part of the process, I highly recommend reaching out to Jimmy and the JK Wedding Events team. They will take a tremendous amount of pressure off you during what can otherwise be a very stressful process. Thank you again to Jimmy, April, and the entire JK Wedding Events team for helping make our wedding such a wonderful experience. Highly recommended--10 out of 10!

Sam strikes a nice balance between being approachable and easygoing, but also knowing how to challenge and motivate my son.
