Thank you! - I just got married last weekend and everything went as smooth as can be. My husband and I are so thankful for the support and guidance that Carol and Audrey have given. From the moment we decided to go with Graceful Charming events, Carol has been able to help keep us on top of the things that we needed/should do. They are very knowledgeable and organized and most importantly, incredible communication!! Quick with email, text and returning phone calls! To top it off, majority of my vendors complimented on how awesome our coordinators were and wished that all their couples had planners like them. I'm glad to say, bridezilla did not make an appearance to this wedding or anytime during the planning! :)

Carol is organized, sweet, responsive, thoughtful and very thorough. She's fantastic and cannot imagine my wedding day without her!

Katie is THE ONE. Hire her. She balances professionalism, lightning fast response time, and…read morelistening to what my partner and I actually wanted for our wedding (which was, at times, unique). She will do what it takes to execute your vision, advocate for you as a client, and make sure you are able to relax into the day. We fired the first planner we hired after working with them for a year (planning for us was 18 months in). All the issues we had with the first planner: showed up to meetings unprepared, rescheduled meetings multiple times, and (most damning) they kept trying to nickel and diming us by adding more and more assistants to manage the day of the wedding. NONE OF THAT WITH KATIE. We brought her on 6 months before our wedding and the change in vibe was massive. She is efficient AND a straight-shooter. Just a g.d. delight to be around and gets. it. done. Both her vibe and decade of experience planning weddings meant I could trust her opinions and that she would accomplish everything we dreamed. And she did. I could write a novel about how great she is. She is worth her salt. Hire her.

Katie Hall... what can I possibly say that would speak to how special she is? Katie from Best Day…read moreEver LA is an absolute gem. As my husband and I were choosing wedding planners, the moment we spoke to her we KNEW she was the one. She was the stand-out amongst many, many other planners we met with (and it's worth noting that both my husband and I have worked hundreds of weddings as musicians, therefore have worked with hundreds of planners from the other side). She tapped into our vibe right away and through the whole process, went above and beyond in every way to make our wedding something special and unique to us. For every question we had, for every issue that came up, for every need that arose, she had an answer - with mountains of experience and good taste to back it up. She is the consummate professional, skilled, reliable, meticulous, and even when things got extra stressful she maintained a wonderfully positive demeanor through it all, which helps US when we are stressed. On top of all that, Katie is an absolutely lovely human, and we have developed a beautiful personal relationship over the time we spent planning our wedding. She really puts her whole heart into her work, and it shows in how she takes care of us, our families, our guests, and our vendors. Katie is 100% the person you want in your corner, no doubt about it. When my husband's family lost their home to the Palisades Fire a few days before our wedding, we had to have a serious conversation about if we could even put on the event at all. For a moment, it looked like all of our hard work would have to be surrendered to the circumstances and postponed to a later date. After talking at length with Katie, we decided to continue on, to give our despaired guests something positive and bright to focus on, and we're so glad we did. Our wedding night was a true miracle. It was beautiful, joyful, uplifting, and it ran pretty damn smoothly! There was little to worry about on my and my husband's end, because Katie and all our vendors (many of whom were on Katie's VIP vendor list) were working tirelessly and efficiently behind the scenes to put on a celebration enjoyable for all. Our guests were elated to be there, and many have told us it was their FAVORITE wedding they've ever been to! My husband and I are still on cloud 9 four days later, and we are so grateful for Katie being our beacon in what was an extraordinarily difficult and stressful time for us. I don't know what else I can say that would further convince anyone that she is the one, but she is THE ONE!

Not enough words to truly thank Chabeli and the PS Plans team enough for making our wedding…read moreINCREDIBLE, so I will just share the email we sent them after the best weekend of our lives!!! "We wanted to say another enormous THANK YOU for making our wedding weekend the most perfect, seamless, and beautiful celebration. Going into the weekend, we already had such high expectations just having seen the amount of effort and attention that you all had put in for the planning portion- everything from florals to Taco Bell. And despite being advised by so many to stay present and ignore the things that don't go perfectly, and having Chabeli reiterate to us that come Thursday we shouldn't worry about a thing, I don't think either of us really expected to spend the entire weekend so focused on each other, on our family and friends, and on the absolute magic that you all orchestrated so flawlessly. It's safe to say our expectations were blown out the water of Lake Alisal, through the garland-covered Atrium, and launched into the starry Santa Ynez skies. We knew we were in safe hands with Chabeli from the very beginning, and then when we finally got to meet the rest of you in front of Jackson house, we were reassured that everything was going to be great. Brianna, Jeannine, Juliana, Sheena- you are all so warm and professional and clearly love what you do. We're sure there were countless moments of stress for all of you throughout the weekend, but we can honestly say that we did not notice a single one of them, and every time that we looked over at one of you, there was a smile. Chabeli, our fearless leader! Thank you for putting up with all of our incessant questions over the last year. If we had a dollar for every time we asked you "well what do you think, Chabeli?" we could probably pay for the entire wedding. We trusted you throughout the whole process, and given the way that Atrium turned out, we are so glad that we did (can't believe we were even considering saying no to that). But seriously, you're truly the best in the biz and we couldn't have done it without you. We'll be singing your praises to friends, family, and random strangers on the street for the rest of time! Can't thank you all enough - we are so grateful Best, Dean & Em PS (plans)- we are not missing a single thing from the weekend. You all even packed up Emily's bouquet and it's still looking radiant, soaking up some well-earned water in our dining room. Thank you for everything"

I cannot say enough great things about Chabeli and her team. From start to finish, this process…read moreexceeded my husband and I's expectations. Not only was Chabeli wildly prepared at every turn, she was efficient, creative, passionate, and most of all she was on board with our vision and did everything in her power to make it come to life. Each and every one of the vendors she recommended were so spot on. Her list of connections and friendships with people in this industry speaks volumes about how professional she is but also how kind and supportive she is. All the vendors love her and we can see why. Our wedding was truly the most perfect day, not one hiccup, not one detail was overlooked, and almost everyone who attended is still talking to us about how this was one of the best weddings they've ever been to. My parents are extremely harsh critics and they said this was the most beautifully put together and well thought out event they had ever seen. Chabeli was able to get to know my husband and I and immediately she felt like a fierce friend in our corner guiding us through the wild wild wedding west and we are beyond grateful for her expertise, her wisdom, and her guidance. We are forever PS Plans fans and any other party we need to throw or anniversary get together we'll have in the future, we will always choose Chabeli. Forever grateful!

I can't…read morerecommend her services enough, and she and her assistant Mandy were instrumental in helping my wedding day go off without a hitch. Beyond being kind and professional, she was incredibly organized and we benefitted so much from her expertise in developing our timeline, coordinating final details with vendors, and just bringing everything together. My biggest hope when working with a wedding coordinator was that I wouldn't have to be worrying about details and logistics during the day, and Annette and Mandy truly allowed my husband and I to be "guests" at our own wedding. She took care of so much that I hadn't even thought of or explicitly asked/talked to her about, and if there were problems or wrinkles in the plan I never heard about them! Thank you Annette and everyone at SNE!

She is the perfect event coordinator; on point, coordinated, proactive and incredibly organized. As well, she anticipated what areas of concern we needed to address before they became issues and her calm demeanor led in the coordination of the bridal party, all the vendors, the venue and the staff. Though I know she probably was managing several other client's needs at the same time since was wedding season, we always felt that we were her first priority...that's a plus! If you are in need of an event planner for wedding or a swanky party in the Southern CA area, reach out to her...you won't regret it!

My husband and I first met with Lauren only a few months before our wedding date after we got a bit…read moreoverwhelmed with coordinating everything. From the first meeting, Lauren helped us create a specific plan and timeline that helped us achieve everything we wanted for our wedding and enjoy the process at the same time. Lauren fully understood our vision [which I'm sure we didn't explain very well :)] and executed it beautifully. Being a same-sex wedding, we didn't feel bound to some of the traditional elements of a wedding, and Lauren helped us brainstorm to create a very personal celebration, incorporating our backgrounds and families into so many aspects of our wedding. Lauren also introduced us to many other vendors that we would never have found if it weren't for her knowledge of the wedding industry in Southern California. In order to help us stretch our budget, Lauren coordinated with a few different furniture/decor rental companies to give us the wow-factor where it mattered without spending too much where it didn't. She also helped us negotiate prices and impressively created a lot of hand-made decorations that really tied together our wedding's aesthetic. Throughout the entire process, Lauren was so easy to work with, like working with a close friend. Lauren was instrumental in creating the wedding of our dreams and throwing the best party that we and many of our guests have been to in years. Thank you Lauren!

Where do I begin?! I had such an incredible experience working with Mod About Events (Teny)…read more She did everything for me from my bridal party dinner to my bridal shower and my Wedding! She came to all of my appointments with me and even sometimes without me, since I was so busy at work. She is extremely organized which makes everything easy and smooth, she is calm, cool and collected and if there are any problems at the wedding, I had no idea because she would just take care of it. When it comes to the design and look of your event, you just tell her your vision and she already knows how to bring that to life. Every single detail was taken care of, even the ones I knew nobody would even notice was perfectly arranged. I highly recommend Mod About Events to plan any of your future events! I can't wait to work with her again for my baby shower!

They immediately started asking questions and making recommendations. They were great with communicating every detail and ensuring me everything was taken care. What I appreciated most was their ability to advocate for me when meeting with vendors to convey my thoughts and ideas. Also, just knowing I had their support and expertise on my side was worth every penny. Come the day of the wedding, me and my family were able to actually enjoy every minute and not worry about any of the details- and of course everything was perfect! There were even little details that I hadn't thought of that they had taken care of. I'm very grateful and appreciate all the hard work & love you put into your work, thank you!

If you're anything like me you're organized and think you can organize this as well. You don't need to. Let Diana take you through the details and make sure you have the details done.

Having Susie by your side makes you feel like you are a guest at your own wedding, and that's exactly how it should be Vision, sweet, tough when she needs to be, brutally honest, and VERY supportive!

Our wedding was flawless, and we have Hovik to thank!…read more I was referred to Hovik through a mutual friend who hired him as her wedding planner. As soon as we met him, we knew he could do the job. What we didn't know was how he would take our wedding to the next level! Guests said this was an A+, first-class affair with many saying this was the best wedding they'd ever attended. (We were humbled) My wife and I had an amazing wedding - ceremony in our backyard, reception at Maggiano's. Hovik is so passionate about his job, and so detail oriented - nothing went to chance! He's amazing with design (everything was set up perfectly!), and he has a nearly magical ability to see any potential problems and fix them before you even know they're there! On top of how meticulous, creative and talented he is, he is also KIND. We love him and are eternally indebted.

During the week of the wedding, we were able to hand off a lot of to-dos over to him, and he kept all the wedding party, wedding guests, and vendors in line so nothing and nobody was ever lost or out of place. Whenever we remembered any missing detail in a panic during the wedding day, we actually didn't have to worry because he had already taken care of and scheduled down to the T. His attention to detail and ability to handle all of the "little" things extended long after the wedding ceremony and the party was winding down; he and his team transferred all the important items (gifts, flowers, guestbook, etc.) to our hotel suite. Having Hovik as our wedding coordinator was the smartest decision besides saying "I do!" We can't recommend him enough! Ten thumbs up!
