    I actually found Nicole Chow on Yelp and I'm SO happy I did! My fiancé and I planned our entire wedding from out-of-state, which was quite difficult. When I decided to book Nicole, she asked when we'd like our complimentary engagement shoot... but we weren't really going to be in California until the wedding week. EXCEPT we happened to be flying to California for a few days for a friend's wedding, and I had booked Nicole the DAY BEFORE we flew out. So when I told her we were going to be in California the next 3 days and then not again until the wedding, she made magic happen. She found the time to quickly collaborate with us to find a time and place in the next 3 days for the engagement session. She researched some pretty locations, and made herself available at the crack of dawn to meet with us. We signed all the paperwork the same day we met her, and the same day she took all of our engagement pictures. On top of all that, she is incredibly reasonably priced for the quality of photos she produces! She does not disappoint! We purchased the cheapest package which meant we only got Nicole, and no one else to help her with photos. Regardless, she was still able to capture all the shots I had hoped for and all the memorable moments of the night. She even put up with my videographers who kept getting in the way of her every shot, as well as the wedding party and families who were too excited and talkative to pay attention to the directions she was giving. But she finally grabbed everyone's attention and got the shots we needed in a very small time window. And I wasn't looking at the clock, but I'm pretty sure she even stayed past her booked time window to make sure she got some shots of us cutting the cake. She is just the most pleasant person to work with. She's VERY friendly and has a great eye for perfect photos! Thank you, Nicole!!

    I am not sure any review could fully capture how incredible Candice is or how grateful we are that…read morewe chose her to plan our wedding. Hiring Candice was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we genuinely cannot imagine having gone through this experience without her. We booked the Whole Milk package and started working with Candice about ten months before our wedding. From the very beginning, she made the entire planning process feel incredibly smooth, organized, and easy. Wedding planning can involve an overwhelming number of decisions and moving pieces, but with Candice, we always felt like everything was under control. One of the biggest advantages of working with Candice is her incredible network and relationships with vendors throughout the LA area. She works with truly top-notch, high-quality people, and it is so clear how much her vendors respect and enjoy working with her. She stays in constant communication with everyone throughout the planning process and, as the wedding approaches, coordinates all of the details between vendors. Candice is also unbelievably organized and detail-oriented. The wedding-day timeline she created for us was incredibly comprehensive. She thought through things we never would have even considered and had every little detail accounted for. She also has an amazing eye for design and helped us create a wedding that was more beautiful than we could have imagined, while always making sure that our own tastes and preferences were at the center of every decision. She gives great advice and guidance without ever making you feel like there is a "right" way you have to do something. We received SO many compliments on how beautiful our wedding was and design of everything and that so many details were thought of to make the guest experience wonderful. As amazing as she was throughout the planning process, the wedding day itself is where Candice truly shined. She took care of absolutely everything. She has such a calm, easygoing presence that somehow makes you feel like there is genuinely nothing you need to worry about. We were able to be completely present and enjoy our wedding because we knew Candice was behind the scenes making sure every detail was handled. Our families absolutely adored her as well. By the end of the night, everyone could see how invested she was in our wedding and just how much work she had put into making the day perfect for us. She went above and beyond in so many ways, especially at the end of the night, taking care of countless little things for us that we hadn't even thought about. After working together for almost a year, we felt so much trust in Candice, and by our wedding day, she felt like such an important part of the experience. Our wedding was everything we dreamed it would be, and so much of that is because of Candice. We would hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend Candice and Milk Events without hesitation. Truly the best.

We planned an out-of-town wedding which is already stressful but Candice was our main point of contact for all the vendors and handled everything so smoothly. I'm not gonna lie, we were totally procrastinating on certain things but she is so incredibly organized and communicative that she kept us on top of it all without making us feel overwhelmed. She knows her stuff inside and out. She constantly went so far out of her way for us. When we flew into town to meet with vendors, our schedule was packed. The cake place was way too far away for us to make it so Candice literally drove out of her way to go pick up the cake samplers and bring them to us to take home just so we wouldn't miss out. Two days before the wedding, I was spiraling bc I thought our seating chart signage and menus weren't going to arrive in time. Candice immediately jumped in with a backup plan to fix it. Thank goodness they did arrive but we had a back up plan just in case. And the actual wedding day? She was a total rockstar!! Everything felt completely seamless. Even our guests and wedding party were pulling us aside to say how impressed they were by how professional and amazing her and her team were. Candice is just an incredible human and truly the best at what she does. You will be in the absolute best hands!

Incredible team to work with! From the moment we walked into Rene's studio we knew he was going to capture our special day ‍‍ his wonderful wife Ninette and Rene answered all of our questions along the way, scheduled all our shoots, and always made us feel at ease whenever the pandemic would cause so much uncertainty. Rene takes so much pride in his work and it really shows through his photography skills. The quality of his pictures are wonderful, his pictures speak a thousand words. Things I really loved when working with Rene. 1) he keeps you on schedule. They provide you a timeline for the wedding day which is so helpful for you, your bridal party, and guests. The timeline breaks down your day perfectly to cover every base. And it's customized based off of your traditions, wants, and needs. 2) they provide you with endless locations to take engagement and wedding pictures. I'm talking classy places. No 2008 arboretum vibes. He genuinely cares for your wedding day and wants to ensure you're happy with your pictures, and gives you his honest advice for locations. His wife Ninette helps you obtain the permits you need, she is an encyclopedia when it comes to this stuff I swear! She guided us so much when we were so lost. 3) DIRECTION! My husband and I really needed a photographer who was going to give us the direction we needed. I can still hear Rene saying "hold hands", "left foot out", "chin down", "smile, now no smile, now look at each other and smile". Trust me listen to everything he says and your pictures will come out amazing. 4) he travels for all you east coast and destination brides! 5) he offers different packages to suit your needs whether it's just photography, or both photo and video, engagement shoot, wedding shoot, albums, short wedding videos (15 minutes) etc. 6) honest, reliable, professional, hiring him was the best decision we made. You should too.

Since our venue did not provide any services, we hired all of our own vendors. 3LB was essential in ensuring everyone was coordinated and in place on the wedding day. Additionally, because we used their rental equipment, their staff ensured everything was set up exactly according to our instructions. I want to specifically highlight our wedding day coordinator, Jennifer. She was terrific and served as a calming influence throughout the day, ensuring everyone was where they needed to be. I cannot recommend Three Little Birds enough. To anyone considering their services: do yourself a favor and hire this team; you won't be disappointed.

The team arrived almost an hour late, several seat cushions were visibly stained and even molded, the cushion covers were not all the same color we had asked for when booking, and some of their staff were rude to us. Members of our own team had to jump in to cover cushions, tie them to chairs, and set them up to attempt an on-time event start, despite having had many other things to take care of for the event. At one point, our own executive leadership, who had arrived to attend the event, were helping assemble chairs just to keep things moving. Post event, we expressed our extreme disappointment, and after some back and forth over the course of weeks, the company did acknowledge the issues and agreed to provide a partial refund. Unfortunately, despite months of follow-up and repeated assurances, it has now been over FIVE months, and the refund has still not been provided. I normally prefer to handle situations like this privately and give disappointing companies the benefit of the doubt. But the lack of follow-through and accountability has been incredibly frustrating here, so much time has been wasted with nothing to show for it. I am sharing our poor experience, complete with photos of how the rental items arrived, so others can make an informed decision when considering booking with this company.

Shasele was our point of contact, and she was kind, thorough, and patient with us as we worked through all of our requirements and asked her a million different questions about the process. She also made sure to provide regular checklists of items to make sure we stayed on track, while also not putting too much pressure on us! Claire handled putting together a gorgeous design brief based on inspiration photos we gathered, which definitely helped as we went through the process of selecting and working with vendors--all of whom were also incredible! An important thing I also want to mention is that I had a sudden health issue flare up partway through our venue search, which set things back by a year. The team was incredibly understanding and checked in periodically while offering well wishes until I was ready to return to planning, and I deeply appreciate how patient they all were during such a difficult time.

Please continue reading and stop looking elsewhere and be completely convinced that you guys should go with MLE immediately! MLE was involved as our Day of Coordinator and planning activities 6 weeks leading up to the big day. Cindy's experience, consideration, professionalism, and honesty (this is a huge one) made what could have been a very stressful day into a stress-free day, or least as stress free as a wedding day can get it, haha. As the days approached the big day, we were already pretty happy with MLE, but once the big day came, they completely kicked it up into high gear. They were so seamless in working in the background to make everything come together with the vendors, timing, handling of guests, etc. We had a delay due to the florist, but they handled it so well that the guests couldn't tell, only we could, and even when we tried to get involved, MLE assured us that it was taken care of, and not to worry. They even went above and beyond in moving some flowers to be better positioned around our mirror guest list, which elevated how the florist had originally planned for. They were very considerate and thoughtful for us by making sure appetizers were set aside for us while we were taking pictures, we were very pleasantly surprised to find a big bowl of our seafood items sitting at our couples table, since we definitely didn't get a chance to get to it. Throughout the night, they made a point to bring us drinks, dessert, help with a small crisis on my mom's side. I really couldn't have imagined having a better coordinator the day of, I wish I had another big event to plan, because I would absolutely go back to them for their services. AND the amazing service doesn't even stop at the wedding day! Their follow up emails to reflect back on what went wrong or what went well shows how much they care about their work. They were very meticulous in addressing any concerns we had that happened on the big day and most importantly, they were honest. They were truthful about the reasons why some things didn't go as planned, and that to us is the most important trait in a coordinator that you can trust them. In the end, they were instrumental in even getting us partial refunds from vendors because of them not holding completely true to their agreements. If you've read this to its end, you don't need to look elsewhere, hire Cindy and her team now! You won't regret it!

At one point we tried to design our own wedding invitations and quickly realized we were in over our heads.

And Katherine if you see this sorry for glitter bombing you with our wedding invitations. On the wedding day itself everything was hectic, as you'd expect. But Candace and her team handled everything and kept the day running smoothly. One small gesture that really stood out was when her team brought my wife and me snacks during cocktail hour since we hadn't had a chance to eat all day. That level of care meant a lot to us.

To add some context, we are bad at planning which is why we needed a planner in the first place. By the time we were looking for a planner, we had less than a year to get everything together. We needed someone to stay on top of us because we both tend to procrastinate on these type of things. Dee was one of the few planners that immediately followed up, and repeatedly followed up. She was also one of the only planners that, during the initial consultation, really started talking about numbers, and the thing that initially sold me was when she raised the fact that our wedding was close to Mother's Day, and how we need to reserve the flowers ASAP so we didn't gouged on the florals. As far as pricing, she wasn't the cheapest, but in comparison to some other planners I inter , I found her rates to be reasonable. While I'm sure most planners have relationships with vendors, I felt she always kept my budget in mind and chose the best value vendor for my budget while still maintaining the quality and high-end feel my wife wanted. As I hoped, she stayed on top of us and made sure we did what we needed to do.
