They spent a lot of time getting to know us and our story. We had no idea where to start when it came to planning a ceremony. They have a ton of experience and ideas and helped us decide on what parts of the ceremony were important for us. They also checked on us throughout the process and helped calm our nerves when we needed it. On the day of our wedding Lauren was amazing! They knew how to captivate a crowd. They are charismatic, engaging, and they created exactly the mood that i wanted which was sentimental and emotional. By the end, everyone was crying. Lauren was a dream to work with, and I am so happy she was part of our special day. Highly recommend them as your wedding officiant!!

I wanted to publicly commemorate one year of transition as a trans woman. I had been to a Bat…read moreMitzvah of adult women and it sparked the idea for a rite of passage ceremony for my true self. A year on hormones and coming out in the world felt very much like a second puberty. I searched all over for ideas and templates for my ceremony but didn't find much until I found Lauren's website as a Love Celebrant. I reached out and we immediately connected. Her passion was equal to mine to celebrate trans joy. Lauren is extremely caring and warm. She had me delve deep into what I wanted and how I wanted to shape this celebration. She guided me and was so supportive, collaborative and affirming. The ceremony and celebration were magical and filled with love. The friends and family who were there all were so impressed with how it flowed and the communal spirit we felt. I'm so glad I found Lauren and chose her to be my trans joy sherpa.

I was referred to Lululove Events by my cousin who got married last year. Luanne did the flowers…read morefor her wedding and everything was beautiful. When time came for my wedding in May I met with Luanne and told her my vision. Everything turned out just as I imagined....even better. The bouquets were so vibrant. I wanted a fun and simple centerpiece which is exactly what I got. The best part is that she worked within my budget! Luanne is professional and very knowledgeable about flowers so she won't steer you wrong. I had a lot of fun working with her and recommend her to all you brides to be out there!

Luanne's work is FRESH and COLORFUL at my friends wedding this summer. I've attended many events…read moreand weddings before so I know it's difficult to deliver fresh flowers for a large wedding party - too often do I see flowers that are all wilted. She is also very friendly and pleasing to talk with. She talks to you as if you're a dear friend even if you've just met her. I highly recommend her for her beauty and personality. She reminds me of this Chinese Proverb that is the very key to lighten up people's MOOD: "When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other."

I truly cannot recommend Sandra enough. From day one, she made the entire process so much easier…read moreand less stressful. I loved doing the design side of things but absolutely dreaded all the vendor communication -- and she completely took that off my plate. She handled ALL of it, advocated for me using her deep knowledge of the wedding industry, and honestly found practically all of my vendors. On top of that, she was able to get vendor discounts, which was such a huge bonus. She was endlessly patient with me when I couldn't make up my mind and wanted constant changes -- never once made me feel annoying or difficult, just supportive and flexible every step of the way. The week of my wedding, we found out there was a high chance of rain, and I was completely overwhelmed. She immediately reached out to THREE different tent rental companies last minute, got quotes from all of them, and supported me through a lot of tears with so much kindness and reassurance. On the actual wedding day, I truly didn't have to lift a finger. Everything ran so smoothly, and if anything went wrong, I still have absolutely no clue about it -- which says everything. Even after the wedding, when I didn't receive something I was promised from a vendor, she stepped in and helped communicate with them to make it right. Overall, she is incredibly easy to work with, easy to talk to, and so understanding. Having her on my team was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding, and I'm so grateful for everything she did to make our day happen. Highly, highly recommend!

She made our month-out wedding planning go so incredibly smooth, which made our actual wedding day so enjoyable. If anything went wrong, I didn't know about it or even notice. We were actually running early, which I've never heard happen at a wedding before! We got so many compliments about the flow of our wedding and how on-point Harlene and her team were. The venue also complimented us on our choice of coordinator, so if you have any doubts, don't! For example, she wasn't thrilled with how the venue was folding the napkins, so she asked them to refold so our guests could see their names/menus/our gifts on the table placements. And she made sure every one was done right. Harlene is bubbly, bright, calming, and exactly what you need for your big day. I have zero regrets about hiring her and would 100% do it again. Thank you again, Harlene!

I consider myself a perfectionist...but Courtney and her team have me beat! I knew from the beginning working with Courtney that we had nothing to worry about, but still I'm the type that doesn't expect everything to turn out just the way I invisioned. The magnificence of this wedding was so far beyond my most hopeful vision. All of this orchestrated by Courtney and her amazing team, along with vendors she trusts. Courtney's upbeat personality was such a pleasure throughout all the months of planning. I don't know how this wedding would have come together had I chosen a different planner, but I will say there is no way it would have been the jaw dropping, exquisite event that it was...not even close!

I was very particular about the songs I wanted and Beth was so accommodating. She even added a song that I wanted to walk down the aisle to that wasn't even on their list. I loved that they started the ceremony playing more traditional/classic music and transitioned to contemporary music during cocktail hour - even including Pink Pony Club (believe me it sounded so amazing)! Their music was absolutely beautiful and provided the perfect atmosphere for our intimate wedding!

Beth was wonderful with communication- she was timely, kind, helpful, fun! The quartet performed a special song we requested not in their already extensive repertoire. The breadth of genres/songs they cover is spectacular! We requested familiar songs, as well as songs from various animes and Disney movies. We could not be more pleased! Our guests of all ages (ranging from 4 years old to 91) raved about them! I spoke with some of the catering staff at the end of the night, and even they, having been to many weddings, were impressed with them and said they were one of the best they have heard! My only regret is that things were so busy with photos, etc while they were performing that I didn't get to chat with them and thank them in person!! Truly, do not hesitate to work with them! One of our best decisions!

She was the only vendor I had no trouble communicating with during my whole wedding planning. I had a short-notice request from my photographer and had to ask Kim if she could deliver our flowers to our hotel room in Fairfield instead of the church in Vacaville. She was just so understanding and even waived the delivery fee. I was just so extremely grateful that I tipped her handsomely. She also sent me a thank you card for working with her. Such a sweet gesture. I wish I had another event to plan so I can work with her again, but we are Facebook friends, so that's okay too. Lol. Thank you Kim and her team!
