She guided us every step of the way, kept us on schedule, and made sure every detail was executed perfectly. We had a Chinese tea ceremony during the morning and she was very patient with our traditions and super efficient getting everyone ready to be served tea next. I-Jou is truly amazing at what she does and helped bring our vision to life. She is incredibly thoughtful and made sure we were well taken care of every step of the way. During our welcome photos, we were sweating, and she continuously checked in on us, bringing water and drinks and even saving appetizers from cocktail hour while we were busy with photos. When we were at our sweetheart table, she went to grab us drinks from the bar and even brought us desserts from our dessert bar! I-Jou knew the right questions to ask and overall we felt well supported throughout the whole wedding planning process up until the end of our wedding day. Because of her, I was able to truly be present and enjoy my wedding day without a single ounce of stress! Which is very rare for me because I am an overthinker and stress over the little things. She was incredibly detail oriented, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making sure our day was perfect. My husband and I are so beyond grateful for her and cannot recommend her enough!

It's five stars for a reason. I-jou literally saved the day at our wedding in so many ways. I…read moredon't know how else to put it, but she is versed in the following black magic skills: 1) ability to create time 2) ability to be in four places at the same time 3) Clairvoyance. She knows what you need long before you do 4) cool under pressure - definition of 5) makes tough tasks seem effortless 6) Can change the weather for outdoor weddings. Well maybe not really but if she said she could I'd probably believe it based on all her other Mary Poppin-ness attributes 7) loves what she does She is no nonsense and her work is all business. While she is super friendly, if you are an overall gushing, emotional bride there may be some personality clash but she approaches her craft pragmatically so don't get offended if she skips some of the formalities and gets straight down to business.

I was so happy to have found Michelle and Cheers to Two! From our very first meeting, I knew she…read morewould be a great fit. We had a small wedding, but because our ceremony and reception were at different locations, there were a lot of moving pieces, tight timelines, and multiple vendors. I knew there was no way we could have pulled it all off without a coordinator. Michelle was incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and made sure every little detail was accounted for. On the wedding day, she kept everything running on schedule so we could truly relax and enjoy every moment. What we're most grateful for is everything she handled behind the scenes. There were two rental issues on our wedding day--one of which could've been a pretty major problem--but we never knew a thing. She managed everything so calmly and seamlessly that we were able to stay completely present with our family and friends. We didn't even find out about one of the issues until days later when she filled us in. She also helped follow up with the vendors afterward to make sure they knew what happened and that we weren't charged for their errors. That's exactly what you hope for in a coordinator: someone who quietly solves problems before they ever become yours. Michelle gave us complete peace of mind on our special day, and because of her, our wedding felt effortless, joyful, and stress-free. We are so grateful for everything she did and would recommend Michelle and Cheers to Two without hesitation. If you're looking for someone who is organized, proactive, professional, and genuinely invested in making your wedding day as seamless as possible, she's the person you want by your side.

Where do I even start?…read more We started planning our wedding over a year ago and visited several venues, including another Wedgewood location. But the moment I walked into Wedgewood Rio Hondo, I knew there was something different. I first visited with my sisters and met Tamica. Even though we had already visited another location within the same company, the welcome we received at Rio Hondo was night and day. Tamica made me feel at home. Wedding planning can be incredibly stressful, but she immediately made me feel comfortable and cared for. The next day, I opened my email and saw a message from Tamica thanking me for coming in. No other venue had done that, and that small gesture meant so much. We still had one more venue to visit, this time with my fiancé at the time . It still wasn't the one. I texted Tamica and asked if we could pop in really quickly so he could see what I had seen. Sure enough, he walked in, saw my vision, and we both knew -- this was it! We went home, and BAM -- the date was set! From that moment on, the entire planning process was practically stress-free. We were given a wedding binder, an amazing team, and so much support. They listened to our ideas and, little did we know, their wheels were turning full speed behind the scenes. They allowed us to plan at our own pace while making sure everything was handled. They even hosted a wedding fair where couples could meet the vendors and taste the food -- and let me tell you, the food was chef's-kiss perfection! Our day-of coordinator, Kali, was absolutely amazing. She made sure rehearsal went perfectly, and on our wedding day, everything ran so smoothly. She checked in on both of us throughout the day, made sure we were okay, and even grabbed us a shot when we needed one! The flowers from Little Blue Hummingbird were absolutely beautiful and brought our Mexican-themed wedding vision to life. Thank you, Annie and team! Our photographer, Elmer and his team at TNK, captured every special moment beautifully. During our family pictures, I felt a little tap on my shoulder. I turned around and there she was -- Tamica, the woman who sealed the deal. I immediately started crying and hugged her so tightly. Because of her, we were standing there celebrating our wedding. She will absolutely have a friend for life! A successful wedding needs an amazing DJ, and Dustin absolutely rocked it! We created our playlist together, and that dance floor literally never stopped. Omar, our bartender, was put to the test because we knew our bar was going to be busy -- and he handled it like a champ! And last but certainly not least, Katherine, our banquet captain, was wonderful as the night came to an end. She was so patient and helpful while we packed up all of our belongings. To the entire Wedgewood Rio Hondo team and all of the incredible vendors -- THANK YOU! You helped make our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be and more. If you are looking for a beautiful venue, an amazing team, incredible food, and vendors who genuinely care about making your day special, Wedgewood Rio Hondo is the place! We walked in as a couple planning a wedding and walked away with memories, friendships, and a day we will never forget. 10/10 -- we would choose you all over again!

She helped us out at the church and organized everything at the venue. She was extremely responsive and provided all the reassurance we needed. She recommended our DJ who absolutely killed it on the night. We're so happy we found her.

It was our first (and only) tour of a venue and Christina was the first planner we met; almost immediately we knew our search for a venue and planner was done. Christina was so sweet and eager to make our day special even before she knew we planned to hire her. We booked Christina for her "month-of" services but when I had questions months before the wedding, she didn't hesitate to help. Though my husband may disagree, I like to think I was a chill bride but even the chillest of brides has a planner full of questions from how to get elderly guests to a faraway bathroom to how much water I needed to buy for a hot-summer wedding. Christina promptly answered every question and every time I spoke with her I felt like planning a wedding wouldn't kill me after all. She had so many cost-saving tips that helped us have a gorgeous, budget-friendly wedding our friends and family are still talking about. On the day of, we didn't have to worry about a thing and Christina and her team ran their operation like seasoned pros. They are professional and fun!

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

From our first initial meeting with Candy, it felt like she was family and had our best interest at heart. She understood exactly what we wanted from a planner and our wedding and she went above and beyond to make sure we had the wedding of our dreams. I'm at a loss for words at how amazing of a planner she is and her twin Tenny the designer extraordinaire is exceptional at what she does. I find myself looking at my wedding decor pictures over and over again with so much joy. Everything I could have asked for my wedding was done and even exceeded my expectations. Gladwin was our point of contact from the beginning and she is the sweetest and most caring person you can have assisting in your wedding. She made sure all my questions were answered and she always did it with so much love and enthusiasm. We really appreciate her and are so grateful to have had her be apart of our wedding. Evelyn aka Olivia was amazing the day of and felt like we've known her forever. Her attention to detail and character helped ease all our day of jitters and it was so wonderful having someone so helpful at my side. We can go on and on about the amazing team at Twin Perfections because they are just that perfection and they made sure our wedding was absolutely perfect. We are so happy we decided to go with them as our wedding planners and we would choose them a hundred times over if we could.

Let me start by saying I am a hospitality professional, so I was very particular about the vendors…read morethat I selected for my wedding. I knew that I could plan the wedding on my own, but I wanted to ensure that I have a decor/coordination team that I could trust and completely release control to. That's what I found at Twin Perfections! In Sept of 2019 my sister mentioned that she knew some ladies that did wedding decor in the Southern CA area. A few weeks later, my fiancé, mom and I went to meet Candy and Tenny at their office in Torrance. I know when someone is talking a good game. With Candy and Tenny I could tell that behind the talks of making my dreams a reality, they had the skill, creativity, and resources to ensure that this happened. Before we left their office that day, we decided to book them for our wedding decor and month of/day of coordination. Throughout the process, the ladies were very accommodating! They would take images or visions that I had for the decor and elevate them. THEN allll of a sudden, COVID-19 came out of no where! I honestly had no idea what I was going to do about my wedding. Once again, the ladies were accommodating and assured me that they would work with me no matter the decision I decided to go with. About 4 weeks before the wedding, my fiancé and I decided to have a quarantine wedding. I told candy and tenny that if we were having a quarantine wedding, then it was going to be the best one ever!! It was a daunting task because we were planning a whole new celebration (from 650 to 40) in a new space (from a venue to my parents home) BUT these ladies helped me transform my parents home for my Ghanaian Traditional Marriage and my white wedding. I loveddd it and love them! Tenny created my decor scheme and executed it. She worked with me to incorporate pieces of my vision and recommended ways we could elevate it. Candy and Joi were my coordinating team. In the four weeks leading up to the big days, we have several calls to ensure things were in order. Even though I'm a planner, planning my own wedding I forgot stuff so having someone to keep me in line was amazing. Joi was with me in the hotel as I got ready, chatted with my family like she was part of the fam. Candy was at my parents house keeping things in order. Between these two ladies, they kept my African family running almost on time (which is a huge accomplishment lol). We were not the normal three hours late!! Yaaayy!! So happy to have had all three ladies on my team. So do I recommend them, well duhh!! Book Candy, Tenny, Joi and the whole TP team now!

We had our first venue fall through, but when we called the Queen Mary we were immediately put into the best hands and made to feel at total ease. Stacia and Breanna were over-the-top with the way they treated us like we were life-long friends of theirs. My Wife and I were continually impressed and made to feel at ease with all of the planning...all the way through to the morning after our wedding. Early on, Stacia took all of our calls and showed us rooms on the ship several times over several weeks and she never lost patience or got annoyed with us. Even when she stayed late after a long day of work to show us a ball room just "one more time." She was still warm, welcoming and full of smiles. Then Breanna took us under her wing and we were instantly treated like close friends to her also! From the food options and working with our budget, to the diagrams of our room, to the food tasting where we felt like royalty and even met the chef, to the upgraded location into the grand ballroom, to the suite she got us for the night of our wedding and so much more. Both my wife and I recommend the Queen Mary, and Breanna especially for any event of any kind. We are both in hospitality and customer service but Breanna and her team blew even us away with how well we were treated. If you are wondering about using the Queen Mary for your wedding, it's the best and easiest choice you could make. Don't hesitate, Call Stacia or Breanna and book with them asap....before someone else takes your spot!
