Abby is an absolute rockstar wedding planner! Where do we even start? From our very first call with…read moreAbby, we knew she was different. She wasn't just trying to sell us a package - she genuinely wanted to get to know us as a couple, our story, and the kind of vibe we wanted our wedding to have. That first impression stuck with us. Over the next two years of planning, Abby and her team brought our ideas to life and helped to make our dream wedding a reality. Design: We told Abby we wanted an "East Meets West" theme that blended our cultures in a way that felt modern and elegant, a tough balance that could've easily come off as cheesy in if executed poorly. But Abby nailed it of course, her design sense is unreal. From color palettes and floral choices to the way she tied together modern décor with cultural elements, everything was cohesive and elevated. She has an incredible eye for detail and always found creative, out-of-the-box ways to make our ideas work. The end result was a wedding that felt truly felt like us! Communication: Throughout the entire process, Abby and her team were consistently on top of communication. She kept us updated between meetings, sent friendly reminders, and made sure we were always aligned on next steps. It's easy for things to slip through the cracks when planning something this big, but Abby kept everything organized and stress-free. We never once felt out of the loop, she was always calm, professional, and genuinely fun to talk to. Vendor Management: Abby's vendor management skills are next level. She has deep connections and knows everyone in the wedding world. When we needed vendors for flowers, desserts, or décor, she already had a curated list of the best options with pros and cons ready for us. Some of our vendors were booked more than a year in advance, but Abby and her team were always on top of follow-ups, contracts, and logistics. By the time the big day arrived, every vendor was perfectly coordinated. It really felt like we had assembled the Avengers of wedding vendors! Working Style: We can't say enough about how enjoyable it was to work with Abby and her team. They're so friendly, positive, and genuinely care about their couples. You can tell they love what they do and that they actually enjoy working together - it felt like they were more of friends than coworkers. Whenever unexpected hiccups came up (and they always do in wedding planning), Abby handled them with grace and a sense of humor. She's done hundreds of weddings, so she always had the experience to guide us to make informed decisions. It was so fun working with the entire team and it made the stressful process of wedding planning feel less stressful. Execution: This is where Abby and her team truly shine. Planning is one thing, but executing flawlessly is another and they did it all seamlessly. From coordinating vendors to keeping our timeline on track, they were everywhere and nowhere all at once, putting out fires behind the scenes before we even knew they existed. The day flowed perfectly. At the end of the night, we were blown away to see how they had already packed up all our belongings, made sure our ride was ready, and tied up every little loose end without us lifting a finger. That level of thoughtfulness really showed how much they care. Budget & Financial Management: The truth is weddings are expensive, and it's easy for costs to spiral if you're not careful. Abby was phenomenal at keeping everything organized and transparent. She tracked every expense, set reminders for upcoming milestone payments for vendors, and even handled tipping for all our vendors so we didn't have to stress about it on the big day. What really stood out was her honesty and foresight -- anytime a decision could push us beyond our budget, she proactively flagged it and walked us through the financial trade-offs before we committed. Thanks to her meticulous tracking and planning, there were zero surprises at the end. Everything was clearly outlined and accounted for, which gave us complete peace of mind. In short, Abby and her team are the best in the business. They bring design expertise, organization, and heart to every step of the process. You'll see what we mean once you have the first introductory call with her. She's the kind of planner who truly loves what she does, doesn't settle for anything less than perfect, and it shows in every detail. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a top class wedding planner!

I had the pleasure of meeting Abby and her team at a wedding that I assistant photographed. I…read moreremember how organized and professional the entire team carried themselves that night. As my wife and I were planning our wedding we both knew we wanted a team to support and guide us through the planning process. Working with Abby and Amanda definitely made the entire wedding planning process seamless. From our very first meeting they really helped put things into focus and laid out a clear milestones and goals throughout. On the day of our wedding and weeks leading up to it, Abby and Amanda ensured that our decorations and everything came out according to plan. Despite us throwing any changes or last minute requests their way. My wife and I had absolutely nothing to worry about and was able to enjoy our wedding completely stress free. Thank you Sugar Plum & Co for helping my wife and I plan and execute the wedding of our dreams!

The thoughtfulness and time that goes into every arrangement is obvious the second you see them. So glad I randomly stumbled across them while looking for local flower vendors. They have a customer for life -- well worth every penny.

A Good Affair Wedding and Event Production

Hiring Natalie and A Good Affair was THE BEST DECISION WE MADE!…read more If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding planner at all, hire Natalie and A Good Affair. DO IT. It is more than worth it! I got married in December 2025 in my parent's backyard in North Tustin, and people are still talking about how AMAZING our wedding day was! Yes, we have fabulous family and friends who love us, and they made our day extra special, but I'm telling you right now, the day was perfect because of Natalie and her team. The time and effort AGA went into getting to know us and our must-haves put us at ease immediately. Planning a wedding is such a collaborative process, and we walked away from every meeting feeling heard and supported. The outcome? The best day of our lives! Natalie is one of the most professional talents in her field. I'm amazed at how she comes up with her amazing visions, and then brings them to life. Her organization, clear communication, and attention to detail are unmatched. On top of that, she is very well respected in the wedding community. Everyone I came into contact with assured me I was working with the best. SPOILER ALERT: We were! Team AGA took our ideas and transformed them into a well-curated dream. Every detail was beyond what I could have ever imagined! Additionally, Team AGA's experience blew us away. The vendors they recommended were top-tier and brought the wedding day together seamlessly. From the DJ to the caterer to the florist to the HMU team, each vendor was thoughtfully chosen to meet the needs of our wedding. Team AGA truly listened to what we liked and brought together an even better vision than we could have ever hoped for! They anticipated everything, and handled day-of setbacks like pros. They created a calm and easy-going presence that set a peaceful tone for the day. Our wedding party and guests said it was the best wedding they had been to or been a part of. My husband and I felt doted on up until our wedding exit, and we still talk about how much we miss Natalie, Kayla, and Jesica. Team AGA continue to be so thoughtful and sent my sister and I flowers and sweet treats on our birthday in February. They truly became part of our family throughout the wedding planning process. If you're looking to host an event everyone will rave about for years to come, hire A Good Affair. You won't regret it.

From the moment we had to pick a planner, we knew Maria was the right choice. Our first phone call felt like talking to your best friend you had known for years. She showed genuine care and interest from the get go and we knew we were in good hands. As someone who is a little more Type A (bride) when it comes to organization and planning, it was over whelming trying to consider how to plan the biggest day of our lives. Maria went above and beyond and took any ounce of stress away. She helped us pick our vendor team early on into the planning process, allowing us to find people who matched our energy. What seemed to be so daunting became some of the easiest decisions to make. Throughout the year, Maria checked in with us to make sure things were okay. She looked over our contracts and helped us plan the next steps whether it was food tasting, floral meetings, making a design deck, or buying a cake just for a photo. Monthly chats quickly turned into weekly chats as we got closer to the big day. Maria ensured every little detail was covered asking us questions about our bridal party, songs we wanted to be played, table greetings, and thank you cards. Before the day of our wedding, she sent us a checklist of items to give her to help take the added weight off our shoulders so we can enjoy our day. What we thought was already an above and beyond was nothing near the day of experience. Maria and her team could not have planned a better timeline for us and our loved ones. Maria took charge handling all our vendors while her assistants Cat and Chelsea ensured we were okay and our bridal party was set and ready to go. Everything was seamless as they took care of little things such as ensuring we had food to eat, water to drink, and a moment to breathe. When we had some last minute changes such as changed meals or guest coming and going, they handled it with ease. Many of our guest raved about our vendors and how amazing the day was, but it couldn't have happened without Maria and her team. Our closest loved ones who knew Maria was our planner couldn't stop complimenting how on top of it she was the whole day, and we couldn't agree more. Maria is not only a planner but she becomes your friend. She takes genuine interest in you and makes you feel on top of the world. We couldn't be more fortunate enough to have worked with her and her team.

Forever & Always Weddings and Events

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.

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.

Best decision we made...besides each other of course ;) I did a TON of research and spoke to 7 planners before moving forward with Heather. I could tell right from the first 5 minutes of talking to her that I wanted to work with her. She is kind, genuine, organized, transparent, helpful, creative, and so many other wonderful things. I am very much a Type A person and was nervous I wouldn't get exactly what I wanted, but I got everything and more! She even has this incredible platform she uses, Aisle Planner, and I was obsessed. If you like organization, it'll be your best friend during this process. Everyone kept telling me that planning a wedding was going to be a really stressful time, but to be completely honest, the only thing I was stressed about the entire time was our welcome dinner (which was the only event we didn't hire Heather for). The day of the wedding went smoother than I could have ever dreamed of, and I never had to think about anything other than feeling/looking my best and enjoying the most magical night. I promise all of you amazing brides that you will be SO happy with your decision if you go with LVL. Thank you so, so much Heather!

Our vendor team was to die for, and I'm pretty sure we got a lot of them because of Amy's connections. Most importantly, she makes you feel completely at ease and excited on your wedding day. She truly has everything under control and you don't have to worry about anything but getting ready, calming your nerves, and walking down that aisle! If you're looking for a wedding planner, look no further than LVL and Amy for the wedding of your dreams and your best experience on the special day!

We got married in Casa Romantica in San Clemente. However, we were living far away in San Jose in the year building up to the wedding. We also had a baby and were enduring the covid pandemic throughout the wedding planning year. Despite all this, Katherine made everything a breeze. Most of the "work" we had to do was make multiple-choice type decisions where she presented us with options (like: picking dj, food, flowers, decor, cake, etc). For fuzzier things like vows and ceremony script, she gave us lots of advice and guidance. Since we were remote, we could only afford a couple trips to arrange wedding details in person. Katherine greatly accommodated our special situation: for a couple weekend visits, she packed our schedule to be super productive and get most in-person things done at once. On the techie side, she is extremely organized with spreadsheets for timelines, guest management, budgets, etc. She was very responsive and focused in email threads. She also easily handled any task involving invites online, wedding websites, registry etc. As I work in the tech industry, I feel like Katherine is like the kind of product manager you dream of working with. On the personal side, Katherine is very low-key, never exerted her influence or opinion, and always had a cheerful attitude. She would mostly listen to us try to reason decisions out, and offer any insights or details we might not have thought of. We really felt like we owned the decision-making process and made the wedding to our own taste. We, with our families, are now scrolling through wedding photos with joy. I have heard both sets of parents marvel at how beautiful AND well-organized our ceremony and reception were. That is all thanks to Katherine!

Let me start off by saying ME Weddings is a ROCK STAR! I was having my wedding at Ritz Carlton (Laguna Niguel/Dana Point) in less than 2 months (yes ladies, barely 8 weeks). You would think that would be impossible, but anything is possible with great help. I literally pulled off a great wedding in record breaking time due to their help. They were actually on the "preferred vendor list" provided by Ritz Carlton and recommended as the top 5 and there is a reason why-- they are simply AMAZING. I think I actually hired them with 6 weeks to go and I pretty much had NO VENDORS booked other than the location (Ritz Carlton). Also this was a destination wedding since me and my fiance (now new husband) live in San Francisco. Not only did they help recommend vendors, but helped negotiate the best price possible to stay within our budget. I dealt mostly with Melissa (she was our main point of contact), who is professional, full of great ideas, helpful in answering all your million questions, prompt, and super friendly (which is always a plus when working with someone so closely). I must have contacted her at all random times of the day and she never failed to miss a beat. She was prompt in answering everything and even helped me to keep on track of things I needed to do with friendly reminders. I also met Elsa in person and via Skype who is also very sweet and full of great ideas. Let's just say you can't go wrong if you pick ME Weddings as your coordinator. They have a great working relationship with the Event Manager at Ritz Carlton and it seemed like they have a great working relationship with all the vendors they work with. What I really appreciated from them was the honesty they provided when asked about which vendors to select. They weren't pushy or biased for one particular vendor, but would give you honest feedback about what they thought was each vendor's strong point. It's always a good feeling when you can trust the person you are working with. Who likes to feel like they are getting pushed to do something? I know I don't, and they are so professional in how they conduct business, that we knew we made the right choice. Now for the wedding day-- Melissa was just simply my ROCK that day. I had a small family only wedding so I knew that I would get pulled in a million different directions by family members. Also I had 8 flower girls and 2 ring bearers (all kids under the age of 10) so I knew my sisters would be pretty busy trying to wrangle all the kids together. So I asked Melissa to make sure I got enough water and snacks throughout the day so I wouldn't pass out. Not only was she there to make sure I was feeling ok in the morning, she was constantly checking in on me to make sure I felt ok throughout the day. She reminded me to make sure to eat my meal, help me with my dresses (2 dresses) and walk me back and forth to my suite while making sure I didn't forget anything. All this great service with a friendly smile and genuine care. Melissa is not only sweet and kind, but you can tell she genuinely cares about you (the client) on all levels. You can't ask for anything more from a wedding coordinator. Melissa and the ME Weddings team really went above and beyond for us. We couldn't have done this without all their help. So if you need a wedding coordinator, don't look any further because you should contact them and book them ASAP before they get snatched up by someone else!! :) read more

Where do I start....let's start by saying that I am a worrier, a BIG one at that. When it came time to start planning our wedding, I was a mess. The seemingly tremendous feat of planning a wedding from start to finish, and coordinating hundreds of tiny details made me overwhelmingly anxious and stressed. Enter ME Weddings & Events. In order to gain some sanity and, gasp* possibly even enjoy the wedding preparation and our ensuing wedding, I enlisted in the help of the lovely ladies at ME Weddings & Events. From our first meetings with Melissa and Elsa, I realized I was in good, very capable hands. Instead of researching mindlessly through Google searches of thousands of various wedding vendors and wedding sites, Melissa and Elsa were able to hone in on our tastes and budget to keep it down to a manageable 3-4 top vendors from which we could choose. Simple as it may sound, this was extremely helpful and made the entire process much more manageable for us. They are also great at working within a budget and are great at making trendy, and modern suggestions to improve upon your fairy tale wedding - whether its changing up the tablescapes to create a different mood or adding spray roses to a bouquet to make it pop or just advising me on what bridesmaid dress would look best with my color palette. I really appreciated their eye for detail and candid suggestions and advice. Trust me, these ladies have an eye for beautiful weddings. Their clients' photos speak for themselves! Melissa and Elsa have lots of connections in the wedding industry and are quite knowledgeable in all things wedding related. Their recommendations for vendors were really great and all worked out so well for us - from makeup, to flowers, to the DJ to the cake and custom tuxedo vendor - they truly stand by the vendors they recommend. These connections are invaluable and are worth more than the price Melissa and Elsa may charge for their services. You will not regret it. Their personal connections with the vendors helped us coordinate last minute vendor services and quickly coordinate updates and changes to our wedding schedules. I appreciated the personal touch that Melissa put on our wedding, and how she was always available to us. We were always able to reach her via phone or email and she was always very thorough and honest with our progress. Melissa truly made our wedding planning and wedding day experience special. From effortlessly coordinating all of our vendors on the day of the wedding, changing out my husbands boutonniere 3 times to make sure he didn't have a wilted flower in our pictures, and doing and emergency bustle on my wedding dress, without her, I don't think that it would have been the magical day that it was. Thank you ME Weddings & Events, you are amazing! You ladies are exceptional - we appreciate your hard work. Our wedding was so beautiful and seamless we could not have done it without you!

Having had the privilege of working alongside Melissa during our previous careers as corporate event planners, I've witnessed firsthand her remarkable organizational prowess and her ability to remain composed under pressure. When the time came to plan my own wedding, I knew just who to reach out to make our special day run flawlessly. Melissa and Elsa masterfully guided us through the planning process, making it stress-free and truly enjoyable. They not only listened attentively to our vision but also brought it to life in a way that exceeded all our expectations. Every facet, from the selection of the venue to the exquisite decor, was stunning yet also practical and budget-conscious. Their extensive network of vendors was a game-changer. Their recommendations for various aspects of our wedding, from photographers to florists, were nothing short of outstanding. We were consistently impressed by the quality and reliability of the professionals she introduced us to. We are very grateful for the unforgettable experience they crafted and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a wedding planner who combines responsiveness, empathy, creativity, and budget-consciousness. Thank you for making our special day truly magical. read more

Our wedding turned out amazing thanks to the fantastic staff at ME Weddings. We had the pleasure to work with Elsa, Melissa and Cecilia and let me tell you, they were incredible! They really took all the stress away from me and my husband which allowed us to sit back and enjoy our special day. We had a backyard wedding with around 80 guests and everything turned out seamless and beautiful. They did a remarkable job transforming the ceremony space into the reception space. They added special touches throughout the night and thought of every detail. They brought so much professionalism, organization and creativity to the event that it truly made us feel happy and relaxed. I highly recommend ME Weddings for any event or wedding!!! read more

Melissa did a terrific job meeting us several months in advance and ensuring that we had a solid plan leading up to our wedding. She answered all the random questions we had about our marriage license, vendors, seating arrangements, logistics, etc. really quickly and thoroughly. She communicated with us over phone call, text message, and email, and helped us keep all our vendors in the loop, too. She was the consummate wedding coordinator. We couldn't have asked for anyone better. The day before the wedding, Melissa met with us to take a bunch of our stuff to the venue, which was incredibly generous and helpful. She helped our friends drop off drinks the morning of the event and even texted us give some encouragement, check in, and make sure we were on schedule. The wedding itself went super smoothly because Melissa helped us thoroughly plan the timeline and logistics. She also did an excellent job making sure all our belongings, signage, glasses, flowers, etc went home with the correct folks at the end of the night, too, which was impressive. It was soooooo wonderful to leave the venue and enjoy the rest of the night without worrying about logistics, and that's all thanks to Melissa, and Tiffany too! Blue Moon really made our dream wedding become a reality, and we can't recommend them enough!

On our wedding day, Melissa made everything run seamlessly and beautifully.

She anticipated needs before we even realized them, communicated with vendors effortlessly, and made sure every detail came together perfectly. We felt completely supported by her from start to finish. Our guests even commented on how smooth and joyful the day felt. If you're looking for someone professional, kind, and genuinely invested in your experience, Melissa is the person you want by your side. She made our wedding day unforgettable.

Not only were the V&E team compassionate to our plight, but they also effortlessly coordinated moving our wedding date not once, not twice but three times! They talked with the vendors, kept me up to date, and leading up to the day meticulously planned every detail. Then, the unthinkable happened, and I [the bride] got COVID 2 days before my wedding! They gave me multiple options on how we could proceed, and in the end I chose to do the ceremony solo with my husband and this was played for the wedding guests at the reception which we attended virtually over a projector. The team worked non-stop to coordinate all these last minute changes, and to carry out an absolutely beautiful, albeit unusual wedding. I truly don't know what I would have done without them! They have the experience to carry out an incredible wedding, they know all the ins and outs of the industry and plan ahead for what could go wrong, so that nothing does! Not only do you get a wedding planner but you get a huge team of them, each with distinct roles! The packages are very affordable (a great deal for what you get especially) and the venues are GORGEOUS! I truly grew to love the V&E family, and I say family because they really treated me like they cared. Cheryl, Carly, Dani, Cicely, Elise, Hannah, Ryann, we love you guys, thank you for everything, and hope to work with you again, maybe on vow renewals after this whole COVID thing has settled down!

It was very complicated as my daughter wanted a "Tiki Lounge" theme at the local Woman's Club. This meant we had to bring everything from top to bottom: decor, sound, lights, music, food, drinks, servers, etc. There were so many tiny details, but Maria did not miss a thing. She is super organized and willing to go over lists in the greatest detail. She noticed that the tables available at the space were not the size we needed, so we rented. She thought of everything from cake cutters, to extra plates and cups, to plenty of trash cans. She knows the best lighting and sound person, hair, makeup, photographer, plants, bartenders and more. We all had a blast and even the staff who had been to hundreds of weddings said they were impressed. So, if you are considering Maria for your wedding, you can't go wrong.

I was living in Austin, Texas while my husband was in Berkeley, California and our wedding was in Huntington Beach, California.

She talked to us thoroughly about everything we wanted our wedding to be, what our budget was and set us up with amazing vendors who exceeded our expectations. She kept us updated with everything on her end as well as made sure we were getting our personal tasks done. We had the most beautiful wedding and it would not have been possible without Maria.

We hired them to handle our day of coordination and it was one of best decisions we've ever made. Stephanie was very hands on with everything and always checked in to make sure I was ok. From a bride's perspective especially with many moving parts it was so refreshing to know that someone was also looking out for you- she even took the time to look up some good spas so I can take a wedding break :) The day went by flawlessly and so smoothly. They set up the decor and coordinated with the rest of the Vendors to make sure everything was executed the way they should be while also making sure that my husband and I got a chance to take a breather and eat :) Overall the team was such an amazing group to work with. You can definitely tell how much they genuinely care about their work and also their clients. To this day our guests still rave about how smooth the day went and how beautiful everything was.

There is no wedding, idea, or venue to big, or too complex for the ladies of Planning Elegance…read more Every girl has their dream wedding, and lucky for me, I had a DREAM TEAM. Mili, Neema, Sonal, and the whole Planning Elegance team are truly exceptional. To say Indian weddings are complicated, is an understatement. On top of that, Mili's team helped us plan 6 events in 3 days, at 3 different venues with guest counts from 200-800. My actual wedding and reception were held at the Long Beach Performing Arts Center Terrace Theater, a very far from typical choice for a wedding venue. However, we chose it because we wanted to utilize the space in a unique way - something that had never been done before. We spent many meetings and site visits with Mili to evolve our concept and the many logistics that came with it. It was challenging to say the least, but with Mili and her team's experience, knowledge, and attention to detail, we watched our vision come to life. Both mine, and my husband's immediate families were heavily involved in the planning process. That means 4 parents, 4 siblings, 2 grandmothers, and a bride and a groom, yet Mili and her team found a way to incorporate everyone's ideas, suggestions, and wishes. Yes, a wedding is about the couple, but for Indian weddings, it's also about the family. You can tell Planning Elegance's team truly understands this because the entire weekend both families were constantly checked up on and offered food, water, and any other assistance they needed. Mili and her team go above and beyond to take care of not just the couple, but their families and guests. All 6 of our events started and ended on time, (some even ahead of schedule), which meant a lot to our guests who weren't left sitting and waiting, and in turn felt that we valued their company and time. To this day, I have not heard of a single thing issue or problem that occurred, and while there is no such thing as a perfect wedding, P.E. handled every twist and turn through the weekend BTS so flawlessly, it felt perfect.

Where do I start? I'm not even sure how I came across Amy,…read morebut am so lucky that I did. I had a fusion Hindu-Christian ceremony, and could not have pulled off the event without her. Just a few words to describe her: Professional, Unbelievably Organized, Calming (and brides do need someone that lets them know everything will be ok) Persistent in dealings with the venue and other vendors, and her Follow-Up is impeccable down to every spreadsheet and document she provided. She did all of this while maintaining her pleasant demeanor and shared her abundance of knowledge in wedding planning and events...well, I can go on and on, but to say Amy was a great addition to my vendors would be an understatement. She went above and beyond what I expected and handled every situation with finesse. Both families as well as myself and my groom were so happy with her and will recommend her to others without hesitation. She made the days up to the wedding run smoothly and the grand event go on without any hiccups. To say the least, she was one of my unofficial bridesmaids by the end of our beautiful day and while it sounds silly, I will miss our calls and meetings tremendously...so much that I am trying to get her to extend her services of wedding planning to baby planning as well, haha ;) 5 stars, A+, amazing planner
