Where do I start- I didn't expect such a beautiful experience from a 1 Hour Marriage chapel…read more(nothing to do with the chapel business it just seemed like a quick come and go vibe but it was nothing like that)! Yenmin was absolutely AMAZING! I did not expect to cry at all and the tears were FLOWINGGGGGG. She gave an option to do the ceremony in Spanish for my family and we did not expect that. Very professional and accommodating staff! The second Yenmin began to give the ceremony, I felt as if me and my husband were alone in the room getting ready to step into the next phase of our life. This experience was everything I could have imagined. Thank you so much!!!!

My review is extremely super late! Like 5-6 years late. But I wanted a fast almost like "Vegas…read morewedding chapel" style. I came across this place! Highly recommended! Very professional and fast! We wanted our wedding to be on our anniversary (Veterans day). They can come to you, or you can go to them. Now, we got married during the pandemic so it was very limited to what they can actually offer at their location. We brought in tripods to set up our phones to do a virtual wedding. I had Facebook live and my husband had zoom on his. This allowed all of our friends and family to attend from near and far. We got there at 1030am to set up and sign the documents. Then the ceremony started at 11am and finished at 11:11am! It did not take us 1 hour to get married, took us longer to set up than it did for the whole process lol. The BEST part is they do EVERYTHING that deals with paperwork for you! During covid, that meant everything because I didnt have to worry about going to file at the county, or deal with people. I know my sister-in-law got married at the same place and so did another colleague from work after we did.

Every little detail was handled with such care and thoughtfulness--it truly felt like they were just as excited about our big day as we were. The setting was breathtaking--intimate, romantic, and surrounded by natural beauty that made our ceremony feel like something out of a dream. The team took care of everything so seamlessly, allowing us to focus entirely on each other and the moment. If you're considering eloping, this is the place. The service is not just amazing--it's unforgettable. We will be talking about this experience for the rest of our lives.

It was only me, my mom, my baby, and husband. I uploaded photos... I chose not to purchase extras or florals and just look at my backdrop!! . I chose the bohemian look and it was such a dream. Marni and Shaunte were ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL... So helpful, kind, and sweet! The photographer, Michael, what an amazing personality and just person all around! He was making us laugh and smile the entire time.. he is such a natural with his camera.. he made us feel so good and the shots he got were fantastic.. The venue is so adorable and the ambiance and vibe is GORGEOUS! I'm telling you.. If I had all the money in the world, I'd still choose to elope at Elope Long Beach... I'm beyond happy I found them. Wouldn't change a single thing.

As my husband and I drove back to our Airbnb after the ceremony, photos, and dinner, I kept saying, "This day was absolutely perfect. Everything went smoothly--great people, wonderful weather, a beautiful ceremony, and a stunning location." It truly exceeded all our expectations. Marie calmed my anxious, type-A mind and made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. She was the best choice we made for our elopement, and she ensured everything was exactly how we imagined. Her guidance and attention to detail made our day unforgettable!

My son was married in March in Joshua Tree. It was agreed to meet at the dirt lot before entering…read morethe National Park at 12:00. The wedding party was present with our dresses and suits until 12:47 when the photographer came to get us to take us to Hidden Valley picnic area where the rest of the wedding party had been waiting since 12 also. The wedding was supposed to start at 1. We never saw the officiant at the dirt lot or in Joshua tree until 2:15. I haven't a clue where she was but she had the nerve to charge my son and wife an extra fee because "they" were late. We waited in the heat for over 2 hours. My 86 yr old mother passed out due to the heat. Fast forward to the license. Marie said she had to send it in....well she sent it in with a tear in the corner which was taped. The license then got rejected. My son had to go to the hall of records to get another copy then make an appt with Marie to get the new copy signed. She wouldn't make an appt until May 2- a month after the wedding. Once my son and daughter-in-law met with her, she was rude, unfriendly and never apologized for the inconvenience. I felt she was unprofessional throughout the whole experience. I'm sure she will have some excuse for charging us a late fee but as god is my witness, we were where we were supposed to be and at the venue and no one saw her until 2:15- 1.25 hours after the wedding was supposed to start.

Cannot recommend Allie and her team enough! From our first meeting, we knew we were in great hands…read more Although we received a "day of coordinator," we got so much more than that. Allie was a listening ear and open to questions from the second we booked with her. As we got closer to the wedding day, she consistently checked in and brought a confident yet calm energy to the process. On the day of, everything flowed SO smoothly that we just got to sit back and enjoy our day! 10/10 recommend PTC!

We truly cannot recommend Allie and the Pop the Champagne team more…read more From the very beginning, they were always right there when we needed them. Allie was constantly answering our questions, thinking ahead, and making sure we felt supported every step of the way. They take their work seriously in all the right ways, but what makes them so special is how fun, funny, and genuinely sweet they are while doing it. Allie has the absolute best energy: calm, capable, and somehow still light and joyful even in high-stress moments. Our family and friends were obsessed with her. On the wedding day itself, Allie and team absolutely crushed it. They did an incredible job wrangling our wild group of family and friends, keeping everything on track without it ever feeling rigid or stressful. We felt so taken care of and if we needed something, she was already there. If something needed handling, it was handled seamlessly. Because of the PTC team, we were able to be fully present and actually enjoy our day without worrying about logistics, timelines, or a single detail. That peace of mind is priceless. If you're looking for a coordinator who is professional, organized, hilarious, kind, and just an all-around joy to be around, this is your team. We're endlessly grateful and would recommend them to anyone, without hesitation. If you're going back and forth or if you think you might not need a coordinator (heads up, you do) well, just book them already!!! You will not regret it. Seriously. Go book them now.

If I could I would give zero stars. I am beyond disappointed with the services I received from this…read morecompany and officiant Peter. To start off we contracted to have Peter officiate our wedding. We paid the deposit for HIM to be there on our day. The week before my wedding I tried numerous times through email, phone and text to reach him to discuss our ceremony details. He was not returning my calls and I was starting to panic. Not knowing if I was going to have someone there to marry us I started considering finding someone new. 2 days before my wedding he finally called me and apologized for not getting back to me sooner and then told me he can not be there for us on our day. WTF seriously 2 days before my wedding after I paid you a non refundable deposit you tell me this crap. He then says he has a fill in and she is really great. Well to start off we wanted a male officiant but after speaking to my fiancé we decided to trust him (big mistake) and say ok. He reassured me she would do am awesome job. Well the day of my wedding come and Mary shows up to officiate our wedding. First off she didn't come dressed looking professional like an officiate should. Secondly she said she wasn't sure if she could translate a prayer in Spanish ( I told peter specifically that I wanted it translated and it was also translated in his wedding guide... Makes no sense to me). Lastly when the ceremony began she never told the guest to sit, started speaking when my back was facing her while handing my bouquet to my maid of honor and she spoke so fast you could barley understand her and the ceremony was so short due to her speed/bad reading. This company messed up the most important part of my wedding. I feel I should have been given a discount or something considering Peter never showed up like he was suppose to. I really wish I went with my gut and used someone else even if it was 2 days before our day. Please use someone else to marry you these guys can't be trusted.

We had initial calls where he took the time to understand what we were looking for and explained his approach. We also filled out a questionnaire that helped him understand what we truly wanted for our wedding. He was detailed and responsive every step of the way, always making sure our questions were answered and that we felt confident and prepared. On the day of the wedding, Jon was on time and brought such a joyful and lighthearted energy to the wedding. We recommend Jon to anyone looking for an officiant. You won't be disappointed! :) Service: 5+/5

Mark was absolutely amazing as our wedding officiant!…read more From start to finish, he made our ceremony feel personal and heartfelt. So many of our guests came up to us afterward to say how much they truly enjoyed the ceremony and how beautifully it was delivered.

Unfortunately, I was not able to have the Forever & Always Wedding that I dreamed of. Although…read moreHeather communicated very well, there were a couple of incidents that I found slightly unprofessional: 1. I signed a contract with one of her staff as my wedding planner. Unfortunately, from my understanding, there were unexpected changes in the company, so Heather had to take over. However, Heather responded that she would make an exception for me and not charge me an additional $1000 for this change. With all due respect, I should not be financially penalized for changes that an owner experiences; especially since I already signed the contract that I financially agreed to. 2. I encountered a lot of life changes that disrupted my ability to move forward with a wedding that my brothers were supposed to be in. For instance, I had a depressed, suicidal brother, I had another brother leave for Japan for the Marines, and I had an uncle pass away. All vendors except for Heather were so kind to fully refund my deposits due to the situation. Unfortunately, Heather responded that she was still a businesswoman and was financially hurting, so she was in no place to offer a full refund. I basically paid Heather almost $500 to establish a simple contract. I already had all the vendors in place and organized, so this deposit was for nothing. Heather should not be held responsible for unexpected circumstances, but this wedding meant a lot to me. As a business owner, you should be able to compromise with your clients based on their situation. I could have easily used that deposit to help my family for the funeral. I find this situation absurd because I never wanted a wedding planner to begin with. Our wedding list was only 32 guests, but my fiancé insisted that we hire a planner because he did not want me to stress out. I admire him for caring, but this wedding was going to be a private and intimate event with very little management. I blame myself for hiring a wedding planner when I did not need one. It is unfortunate that Heather was thinking like a businesswoman and not a human being with empathy. Nonetheless, please make sure to ask about the refund policy for emergencies such as death, health, etc. Two stars are for her communication, but I can only evaluate Heather based on my experience with her before the wedding date. Therefore, I am unable to provide feedback for her day service since my wedding never happened. Has it ever occurred to you, Heather, that you had not heard from me in a year because I was busy dealing with other important things like planning a funeral? My wedding was the last thing on my mind. Also, I was not complaining about the charge that never happened, I am complaining about your response to your changes. There was no need to comment on that you are more expensive and won't be charging me. We could have proceeded forward with whatever it was we were doing. You contacted ONE venue and that is because they had YOU sign a contract with them. FYI, my pre-engagement photos were scheduled with the photographer I hired for my wedding and I was still refunded the full amount. This vendor did not work for free either and still managed to prioritize customer service over money. You are a business owner and have the liberty to do as you please, but you must have needed the money more than I did, so I hope my contributions helped your business. Nonetheless, well done on your communication. If you have a family member with a life-threatening illness or you have a medical condition that may require potential hospitalization, please do not hire Heather as your wedding planner as she will not refund you the deposit because not make exceptions for your situation simply because she does not "work for free." Thank you.

It's so important to relate to and connect with your wedding planner and from day 1 it felt like…read moreshe was my friend helping me plan my dream wedding. I found Heather through Yelp and let me say: she really understood my vision and kept it real with me on what i could and couldn't afford lol. Not to mention, I literally and honestly don't know how I could have enjoyed my wedding without Heather. Her and her assistant, Courtney, handled E V E R Y T H I N G on the day of our wedding at the Estate on Second and then some. If there was any sort of problem, she had the solution. If we needed a drink, she was there with mine and my husband's signature cocktails. If I was losing track of time, she made sure to gently push me along. She truly handled everything so that me and my husband could just have FUN and for that I am truly grateful.
