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. Overall we couldn't not have asked for a better planning team to work with, and we're so incredibly grateful to Mad Love Events for making our special day so perfect!

This review is long long overdue, Cindy and her amazing team helped us execute our dream wedding…read moreback in September of 2022 in Malibu, and absolutely recommend them if you guys are even on the fence or looking for a wedding planner/coordinator. 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!

She is one of the kindest, most genuine, and down-to-earth people you'll ever meet. Debbie's love for people shines through her work, and she pours her heart into every detail--whether it's floral design, stationery, or planning. Her team is just as wonderful: professional, warm, and always on top of things. They make wedding planning feel effortless, which is such a gift during what can often be a stressful time... If you want a company that not only creates beautiful work but also cares about their clients, I can't recommend Debbie and her team enough!!

There will never be enough words to express how truly grateful we are for the incredible Aquafuzion…read moredream team. I've been following them since I was 14, and from the very beginning, I knew they would be a nonnegotiable for my wedding--and now, I can say with 100% certainty that choosing them was one of the best decisions we made. From day one, Debbie, Alondra, Stephanie, Rachel, Presilla, Frida, and Adriana poured their hearts into every single detail. They weren't just our wedding planners--they were our designers, our florists, our coordinators, our late-night therapists (yes, answering 1 AM and 2 AM texts!), and truly our fairy godmothers. Every event they touched--from our bridal shower to the big day--was pure magic. They helped us contact vendors, designed and created our stunning invitations, and even arranged florals for our bridal shower. On the wedding day itself, they were everywhere, making sure timelines were followed to the minute, guests were taken care of, vendors were managed, and every single detail was flawless. They even made sure we and our loved ones were fed, hydrated, and happy--which might sound small, but trust me, it's everything on a day like that. Austin and I didn't have to think twice about anything. They were ten steps ahead of us at all times. Their eye for detail, impeccable organization, and genuine care made this feel like the epitome of luxury service. And somehow, on top of all that, they still made us feel like family--like they were personally invested in making sure our day was unforgettable. I'm already dreaming up our next event just so we can work with them again. If you're looking for wedding planners, designers, florists--humans--who will pour their heart and soul into your day, look no further. Aquafuzion isn't just a vendor--they're a blessing.

We had easy communication leading up to the big day, and on the day of, the team made everything seamless. Once I passed off all decor, things magically appeared in the right place exactly where and when I needed them. They kept us on pace with our timeline, which there was no way we could have managed as the bride and groom. The moms and aunties couldn't stop raving about what a good job they did. Especially since we were able to start dinner on time and not 2 hours late (which can be common in Chinese receptions...).

My husband and I LOVED working with Sarah and her team. If you're looking for non-templated wedding…read moreconcepts, work with Sarah! If this review is too long to read, just check out the images to see our final result. During our planner interviews, we focused on finding someone who could execute our multicultural wedding vision. From MWS' blogs and interview, we could tell they fully understand how to create unique multicultural weddings. One important tip for newly engaged couples - wedding planners don't create the designs of your wedding!! It's the florists' job. So finding a good planner is important because then they'll help you find good vendors, communicate your vision, and make sure everything is executed perfectly on the actual day. We had a BLAST on our wedding day. We knew Sarah's team got our backs, so we weren't stressed at all. I cannot stress enough the importance of the planner's role in your wedding!! They're the project manager. Their leadership and execution will affect your entire wedding and how well your vendors set up everything. The day of the wedding - our hotel venue Pasea hotel promised us that we'd be the only wedding booked on our wedding day. This was promised before we signed with them. On the day of, we realized they double booked another couple's reception without telling us. I actually bumped into the other bride and was very surprised about the whole thing. Sarah talked to the other wedding planner and made sure their music was lowered during our ceremony. everything went smoothly for both parties. 10/10 execution. Another green flag about MWS is that they helped us minimized our budgets. Sarah was real with us lmao. Whenever our ideas went too crazy, she'll hone us back and help find alternatives. Her network of vendors are all affordable and very creative, so that saved us a lot of work. Attitude 10/10. Our guests loved Sarah. She's bubbly but also will get sh*t done. I've been to weddings where stressed out planners would give off weird vibes to the wedding parties, but not this girl. She made everyone felt at ease while rushing people to stick to our schedules of the day. Just wanna say thank you Sarah again for making our most important day magical. You rock and don't be a stranger girl! Love, Brendan and Connie

Even during the planning process, Candace and the Katherine would routinely checked in with us to make sure we were on track. At one point we tried to design our own wedding invitations and quickly realized we were in over our heads. Candace asked if we were on schedule to send them out and when we told her we weren't... she offered to help. We ended up hiring her to do the invitations too and they turned out beautifully. 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. I actually reached out to Candace again recently to recreate my wife's wedding bouquet for our 10 year anniversary, which reminded me that I never wrote a review. Even after all these years she was just as helpful and thoughtful as before. Candace and her team truly care about their couples, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner or event planner. Looking back 11 years later, we're still really grateful we chose her to be part of such an important day.

We are so extremely thankful for Paulina! In total we signed up for a 10 session package which we included our parents as well-- 5 sessions for us, 3 sessions for my dad and me, and 2 sessions for my husband and my MIL. Both our parents barely speak English, so there was also a language barrier... Yes... all within one week-- talk about stress! Paulina taught out of a studio in Pasadena. She was extremely kind, patient, and creative. We have no experience in dance and to be honest, it was tough to memorize the steps, keep a tempo, not look stiff, and to make sure we don't step on each other. So extremely happy with our session with Paulina. If anyone can pull off a miracle, it's her! Thank you for being patient with us. Thank you for creating a code memory for us (and our guests). Thank you for your part in helping us execute our perfect wedding.

Despite COVID, she was able to teach us safely, outdoors and with masks, and taught us how to dance in a way where we could use the same knowledge in the future. Instead of going straight into choreography for our wedding song, she taught us some moves that later we would be able to put together into the full song. To be honest I was very hesitant and a bit stressed about learning a dance for the wedding, but she gave us the building blocks and showed through her teaching the confidence I needed to dance on our special day. She knew our level of dance knowledge (which was basically zero) and she knows just what to look out for (ie. smile more, practice with wedding shoes) in order for brides to look their best on the big wedding day. She (and her husband David) are incredibly patient with their students, as they truly care about who they are working with. I truly am so thankful for such great teachers! Definitely recommend for your wedding choreography needs. She will work with you, no matter what type of dance (& difficulty) you're looking for!

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.

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.

Fortunately, I came across Amormagic's wedding samples on Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book), and I was immediately captivated by their attention to detail and their keen sense of aesthetics. After sending them a message, I received a reply the very next day, and we quickly scheduled a video call. Mandy gave me a very professional first impression, asking me many questions I had never even thought about. Since my husband and I are both people who dislike hassle and lack creative ideas, we quickly decided to entrust Mandy with the entire wedding design and planning. Throughout the process, I deeply felt that hiring Mandy and her team for wedding planning was worth every penny--truly "value for money." Below is a summary of their services: Key Features: Quick Responses, Always Available, Patient, and Thoughtful During the wedding design process, there were many things I had never heard of or didn't understand. Mandy and Dorris always replied within a few hours, patiently explaining the differences between each option and how they applied to me. Actively Listened to Client Needs, Focused on Key Points, and Organized Since I had never imagined what my wedding would look like, Mandy and Dorris asked me about my preferences in movies and art, and they surprisingly designed a floral color scheme that left me in awe at first glance. They also cleverly incorporated elements from both my and my husband's cultural backgrounds, filling the design with thoughtful details. After the wedding, many guests praised the stunning little touches, and they were particularly delighted with the seating cards, which doubled as gifts. Clear Division of Labor and Smooth Communication From the design phase to the on-site arrangements on the wedding day, everything was well-organized. Every question I had was answered by a dedicated person, making communication seamless. High-Quality, Professional Vendors All the vendors recommended by Mandy exceeded my expectations. The floral arrangements, table linens, cake, DJ, and bridal makeup all delivered top-notch results. A Stress-Free Wedding Day On the wedding day, all the staff were highly professional and dedicated to their roles. The entire event went off without a hitch, except for a minor delay in the cake-cutting ceremony because I got carried away chatting with guests. Cecilia did give me a subtle hint with her eyes that it was time to move on, but I just couldn't help myself. As someone who never dreamed of being a princess but instead admired Heidi running through wildflowers, I am deeply grateful to Mandy and Dorris for uncovering this unspoken dream of mine and bringing it to life.
