    I've had the pleasure of working with Sierra and her team this summer at a beautiful and unique wedding on a ranch in Woodside, CA. As a videographer it can be difficult sometimes to get certain shots in, but I vividly remember Sierra offering to help with getting the newlyweds and their friends onboard. In other words, throughout the day I have found Sierra to be extremely helpful and I was glad to be working with her. The whole wedding was meticulously coordinated, everyone knew what was going on, and I remember the couple enjoying themselves as much as I have ever seen any couple enjoy their wedding day. I can only hope to work with Sierra and her team again.

    Thank you Sierra!

    I have no idea where to start with this review, but the first thing that comes to mind is that I cannot imagine our beautiful wedding day without Sierra and all of her magic. Seriously, she's incredible. My husband and I began the wedding planning process and felt so overwhelmed--that's when we knew we had to start looking for some extra help. We found Sierra and we're so glad we did! We would have our meetings with her and feel so much better afterwards. She would collaborate with us on anything we were struggling with and offered much needed guidance. The day of our wedding, Sierra and her team ensured that everything went smoothly (and she even made sure we got to actually eat our wedding food!). My husband and I felt like we had absolutely nothing to worry about the whole day, making it easy to soak up all of the love and joy in the atmosphere. The positive energy and confidence of Sierra, and her team, are also nice to have throughout the wedding planning process. No joke, throughout our wedding planning and our wedding day, my husband and I would look at each other and say "thank god we have Sierra. How do people do this without a Sierra?"

    Thanks for being there for me, Sierra!

    Followed the advice of all my friends and hired a wedding planner (trust me, guys, it's worth it!) Had a wonderful experience with Sierra and her team, was very grateful to work with her! So basically, my goal was to plan the most stress-free, low maintenance wedding as possible. And let's be honest, every wedding is stressful. Long story short: The day of the wedding, I knew I had NOTHING to worry about. I knew Sierra would make sure everything went smoothly, and would handle anything (without me even knowing) so I could just live in the moment and enjoy our celebration. Would highly recommend if you want to have a stress-free wedding! More things: Above many other things, here are some ways Sierra went ABOVE AND BEYOND what was outlined in her contract. 1) She responded to our emails timely, usually every day. Her services are very personal, and I really valued her dedication and her knowledge of each detail of our wedding. I tried to keep emails to non-urgent stuff, and text and calls for urgent/panic mode (haha). 2) She helped me find my wedding dress and take photos- how cool is that? 3) We were also fortunate enough to be her "guinea pigs" as she was testing out a Go-Pro and a drone to film our rehearsal dinner speeches and our wedding. That turned out to be a HUGE plus because we didn't hire a wedding videographer! 4) She has decorations and other items that she can rent out to you. You know, stuff you only need for your big day. Because who the heck needs an easel? 5) Any time I had difficulty with a vendor, she would step in and lay down the law. 6) She's very tech-savvy. We had a Google drive going of what to do, and another document with our wedding packet where I could put all the info for our wedding so I wouldn't have to explain everything to her the day of. She also helped me make spreadsheets for vendors. 7) She gave me a lot of advice for the easiest way to do things. Helpful wedding tips go a long way! 8) My wedding day, I worried about NOTHING. So many things went wrong- my sister bought the wrong color dress, my dad's speech was interesting to say the least, a couple of our decorations broke, a couple of other small mishaps, but I knew Sierra and her team handled it. I loved that she handled it on our own without bringing up anything to me. She made sure we were fed (apparently no couple gets to eat at their own wedding) and had enough "us" time. She even helped with some difficulties with our parents! The whole day was perfect for us, as we got what I truly wanted- a stress-free wedding. 9) We didn't have to do anything with regards to clean up. We headed straight to our afterparty and home afterwards. I had found that sierra wrapped and refrigerated our wedding cake, organized all our decorations and stored our excess alcohol for us (it must have been a LOT to carry!). I was AMAZED by this, as though there were magical wedding fairies helping us! Overall, really happy with our experience with Sierra, and I am happy to know her. It was as though I had a close friend planning our big day- I wouldn't have it any other way :)

    Cupcake stand that we brought ourselves. Sierra's team helped us place the cupcakes. This is only a small portion of the amount of DIY items

    Sierra and her team are the absolute best wedding coordinator in the whole wide world! Sierra is super organized and experienced and provides you with helpful to-do lists leading up to the wedding, clear timeline, and various templates to help with your wedding planning. Andrea was our day-of coordinator and took over during the second half of our planning process. The hand-off was seamless. Andrea is also VERY organized and detail-oriented. She patiently answered all of our concerns and gave us sound suggestions based on her professional experience. She took the initiative to reach out to vendors as we neared our wedding date. She took a big load off our shoulders because we felt that we could trust her to handle everything with our best interests in mind. Communication was very open and clear so there were no misunderstandings at all. We had a BUNCH of DIY items and honestly, it got a bit overwhelming for us as we neared our wedding date. I was worried that due to the number of requests and items we had, there would be hiccups on the day of. However, everything went SO perfectly and our vision was beautifully executed thanks to Sierra's team. There is not one thing that didn't go well. We got a lot of compliments from our friends and family that the wedding was so well-planned and at a perfect pacing. Our venue and vendors also commented that our wedding coordination team was super professional and amazing. Lastly, Andrea's calm and confident demeanor was so reassuring for me personally throughout the whole process. We can't thank Sierra and her team enough and highly highly suggest everyone to choose SBWE as your wedding coordinators!

    Sierra took these photos. Our table setup was very regal!

    I can't say enough amazing things about Sierra and her team, and I highly suggest hiring Something Borrowed as your event coordinator if you're looking for someone thorough and extremely organized in all the ways you're not, and will provide guidance and assistance all the way until the end. My fiancé (now husband!) is in the wedding industry as an entertainer and he and his company recommended her to me. They felt she was incredibly organized, professional and also friendly, and she really is. I chose a partial planning service, and Sierra was with me the whole way providing guidance and expertise. She thought of all the small details I would have forgotten (wine openers, hello! And ICE!) We had a lot of stress the week of the wedding when a family member had a medical emergency, and Sierra was supportive and took over all the correspondence with the vendors for me. The day of my wedding: not only did we run pretty close to on time (how does that even happen??), but the reception area turned out SPECTACULAR, and I'm not the spectacular aesthetic type (I mean this in a good way!). I know I came up with the decor ideas, but I tend to play things fast and loose and give people creative control, and they just added little details using the decor I had and it looked amazing. After the wedding she's been an advocate for me as well (one minor mishap with a vendor), in making sure correspondence continues with them. I have two pieces of advice: hire a partial planning coordinator (put it in the budget), and hire Sierra. You really won't be disappointed.

My husband and I wanted to plan something of a wedding celebration dinner, and we knew we needed some help because we live on the other side of the country and also none of our family and friends were available to provide much support. JM Events came recommended to me by my photographer who had been in the wedding industry for over a decade. I set up a call with Lilian and we went over my vision for what kind of event I was envisioning and she discussed what kinds of services JME could provide for our event and also shared that they had planned and coordinated similar type events in the recent past. After our call, I also had meetings with other event coordination companies and it was clear to me that JM Events would be the best fit for us as they seemed the most competent and professional. I also liked that JM Events was based nearby our venue. Two months ahead of the event, Alexis began working with us. We tossed around a lot of high-level ideas we were considering and Alexis provided insight on whether or not or how they would work within the constraints of our venue and timeline. Alexis and Lilian also had vendor recs at the ready at different price points whenever we needed them as well. Over time we narrowed down which ideas we wanted at our wedding and Alexis provided invaluable insight on wedding logistics and restaurant service ops that we should consider in our planning. She attended our venue walkthrough with us so that we could begin to visualize placement for different "stations" at our wedding and also served as our advocate with the various vendors we had hired. She also checked in with us and the vendors over increments in time so that we met all of our venue deadlines and to ensure that all of the vendors were in lockstep with what we were planning.  The week of the event, Alexis worked to make sure to send out event confirmations with all of our vendors so that each vendor was prepared to arrive on time and any accommodation our vendors needed were provided. This was so impressive that my make-up artist asked me where I had found Alexis! Alexis and Lillian were consummate professionals through and through, I felt supported the entire time and any question I had was met with a very considered response that only a very experienced events planning professional could provide.  Our wedding celebration was one of the best days of both my husband and my lives. We also received so many compliments on our event, like "best wedding ever" and "can I copy your entire wedding?" I was on cloud nine the whole night and in watching some of my friend's video footage I saw Alexis working in the background making sure that our timeline was executed exactly as planned.  I know certainly that without JME and Alexis, our night would not have went off as seamlessly as it did and I am so grateful for JME and their team. I am already plotting on when I can plan another party and hire JME :)

Jonsen was always prompt in responding to all of my questions throughout the planning process, which made everything so smooth. We booked their ceremony package with Howard as our emcee, along with the reception package that included DJ, photobooth, and wall drapery with uplighting - and every single element was executed perfectly! Howard was an absolute natural as our emcee - seamless, energetic, and so skilled at keeping the night flowing. When last-minute changes and adjustments came up, he and Jonsen adapted quickly and effortlessly without missing a beat. Jonsen's music selection was on another level as our guests raved about how much they loved it, and the dance floor was packed from beginning to end. People could not stop talking about how much fun they had! The photobooth was a huge hit as well - the props were fun and the photo quality was excellent. The reception setup was incredibly well done and added so much to the overall atmosphere. What made them extra special for us was that they speak both Cantonese and English, which was so meaningful for our guests and made everyone feel included in the celebration. Both Howard and Jonsen are masters of their craft, easy to work with, and genuinely passionate about making your day unforgettable. I cannot recommend them enough!

Looking back, when we decided to plan the wedding within six months, we were overwhelmed because there were simply too many choices, and we didn't know where to start. 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.

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. They turned one of the most important days of my life from a vague idea into a beautiful and unforgettable reality.

    If we could give 10 stars, we absolutely would! From the very beginning of the planning process all…read morethe way through our wedding day, Mandy and her team went above and beyond in every possible way. Right after we decided on our wedding date, we started searching for a planner and came across Amormagic on RedNote. Their portfolio immediately caught our attention. They were so professional, patient, and incredibly detail-oriented. Every question we had -- no matter how big or small -- was answered quickly and thoughtfully. They guided us through every step with calmness and confidence, and their organization gave us complete peace of mind leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, everything ran flawlessly. The setup was stunning, the timeline flowed perfectly, and every little detail was handled so seamlessly behind the scenes that we never had to stress about anything. We could truly just be present, enjoy every moment, and spend time with our guests. The day honestly went by so fast -- we wish we could slow down time and relive it all over again because it was just that magical. From the emotional moments to the laughter and joy, everything felt effortless and beautifully coordinated thanks to this amazing team. We're beyond grateful for their support, care, and dedication. Thank you for making our wedding day not only perfect, but also deeply meaningful and unforgettable We couldn't have asked for a better planner or team -- highly, highly recommend to any couple who wants their dream wedding to come to life without the stress!

    Highly recommend MLE! Cindy did an incredible job as our Wedding Planner and I am beyond happy that…read moremy wife and I had her! Her energy is great, she is obviously very knowledgeable of the industry, and she was always on top of everything we needed, before we even knew what we needed! MLE's preferred vendors were all fantastic, the team was communicative, and the most important of all - we felt fully prepared for the big day. Cindy made sure we walked away with the exact wedding that we pictured. So much goes into it and I do not know what we would have done without her! Thank you so much, Cindy, and all of the Mad Love Events Team! We really appreciate all your help in making our wedding the best day of our lives!

    The Mad Love team took such incredible care of us throughout our entire wedding planning process…read more Cindy was so warm during our first call with her, and it really set the tone for all of our future interactions with the rest of her team! 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!

    Are you kidding me? Five stars from the previous yelpers - are they family members or did they get…read morepaid to write these reviews? Sounds quite fishy to me. I actually came here with my best friend recently. Let me preface by saying that we were desperate to look around for wedding dresses for me since it was getting late that date and we were turned down by a national wedding dress store chain due to not having an appointment - a review for that later. Anyway, I yelped it and was expecting splendid service since there were such good reviews. However unfortunately we were sorely disappointed. I needed to write this review to inform others and let you guys know how I felt coming here. It'll save you the hassle, I promise! OK so what happened was we walked in and the older woman was pretty friendly but for some reason her and the middle aged lady (Sylvia) always got into fighting matches. For example the older lady (probably her mother in law) kept giving me smaller sizes of wedding dresses to try on and said that I was a good size, and even picked out some pretty ones (tube style which is what I liked). However, the other lady, Sylvia, had the audacity to tell me that I was FAT and was so super rude. (Just because I told her I wouldn't fit those small dresses, that I was a size medium - TRUST Me i know what size I am). Anyway, moving on -- that Sylvia lady grabbed the small ones away from me (that the older lady gave) and proceeded to hand me the LARGEST wedding dress in the store. Is she blind? I'm not fat. I'm actually pretty tall and quite medium sized. I am totally fine with my body structure. Anyway, so we head to the so called "dressing room" and I wore that extremely HIDEOUS dress and it slid off of me like slime. It was hilarious. My best friend was so appalled. She then gave me another dress, and the same outcome. I don't know how I was so patient with her? Anyway we proceeded to leave and then they advertised their $99 specials. Disgusting!!!! I don't think I've seen such ugly dresses since reading a history book. If you like 1800 styles, come here I'm forreal! Anyway as we were walking out, Chuck (the guy) stops us and asks me about photography. He then tried to market himself to do photography at my wedding. He asked me my date, I told him the ball park. He then quoted the price of $1888 which includes the book. He also told me how amazing Sylvia was at make up. (I was thinking...oh that lady who was super rude to me???) No thanks. I have seen other places that are better. Thankfully the following week I went to a different wedding place (not too far from here) and had the most amazing experience!!! But I digress. What scam artists! Yuck! I will never come here again, it was such a horrendous experience.

    This review is for bridal makeup…read more Sylvia knows her art and made me looked beautiful each time I worked with her, twice as maid of honor and my wedding (all btw 2001-2008) The other two brides (my sister & BFF) were happy with her work, too. Sylvia uses air brush foundation, which lasted all day, considering it was applied early in the morning (occasional touch up is required). The service includes a pre-wedding day facial to prep your skin. Of course, a balanced diet and plenty of beauty sleep are essential leading up to the big day. If you don't the look you want for your wedding day, Sylvia would compose the appropriate look. It's crucial that you communicate to her of any dress changes (typical custom for Chinese weddings) so that she would use the most complimentary palette. The price is reasonable and she can do the hair as well, depending on the size of the bridal party. There was a contracted stylist (same guy) that did my hair for all my visits. For my wedding, since I didn't have a veil, Sylvia brought miniature roses from her garden to adorn my hair. The personal touch meant a lot. Also, I'm 4'10", Sylvia gave me a style with height. :-D I highly recommend Sylvia for bridal makeup and hair style!

    With one week away from our wedding, my (now) husband and I made a last minute decision to find a…read moredance instructor to somehow work their magic to teach us how to not just sway from side to side. 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.

    Paulina is so incredibly talented and patient! I found Paulina through Yelp and booked 6 sessions…read morewith her for our 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!

    Jenn has been such a blessing to have as our wedding planner! At first, I wasn't sure if we needed…read morea wedding planner when my now-wife mentioned it. She got in touch with Jenn, and we elected for her month-before planning package. What floored me was how gracious she was in keeping in touch for months before our wedding, just to get all the details right. It shows how caring she was in attending to all the small details we didn't even know were important. Her experience clearly showed through all the templates, agendas, and coordination she did with our wedding vendors. Our wedding went so beautifully that we gave Jenn a well-deserved shout-out during our toasts. She made sure any hiccups were handled professionally without us having to worry, and that all our wedding party knew what to do. We highly recommend Jenn for all your wedding panning - definitely at least get her month-before or the full planning package to take advantage of her expertise! We are so happy we did.

    As the former groom and now husband, let me tell you I had no idea what to expect when it came to…read moreplanning my wedding. That and after asking every one of my married friends what their #1 piece of advice would be, they all replied to hire a wedding planner. Luckily, we were able to meet Jennifer Huie who came highly recommended from one of the weddings we attended (my wife was a bridesmaid) and the way the wedding flowed from activity to activity was really smooth. Also a recommendation from our good friends didn't hurt. So we reached out to Jennifer and we all meet at a cafe and Jennifer was eager and ready to work. She asked the appropriate questions, the general vibe we wanted for our wedding, and gained a good perspective of who we were as a couple. Throughout the months, she was on top of everything as well as being always available to answer any questions and getting any requests we needed as we prepared for our wedding. Also, Jennifer nailed the venue we wanted which to this day, our guests tell us is the prettiest wedding venue they've ever seen. Well played Jenn. Now I thought Jennifer was on top of things pre-wedding because she had a beautiful laid out plan through Google Sheets and she had made sure all the vendors had come together as one to celebrate our special day. The amount of organization and attention to detail for something like this is not easy and she made it look effortless. Once we filled out what we needed to fill out like guest information (contact information, allergies, etc), table placements and all the other items, she was quick to look over what we had and provide any edits or advice on anything and everything. Pre-wedding Jennifer is a superstar. Wedding day Jennifer? Absolute beast. Every T is crossed, every I is dotted and with emphasis and enthusiasm. Our rehearsal went smooth and she was always receptive to hear what we wanted and as everything flowed, she could steer everything to make sure it did just that. Wedding day, the event couldn't have gone more perfectly. All those months of planning finally turned into the greatest night of our lives. Not just ours as the wedding couple, but our wedding party, our family and all our friends. Jennifer hasn't heard this yet but as she reads this review, all the family and friends could not get over how the day was just so seamless from each event to the next. We, the wedding couple never felt an ounce of stress. I'm sure Jenn shouldered that entire load but she never showed it and she was always able to give us updates for everything that was going on. But the job isn't easy, especially for an event like ours which had almost 200 guests. Anyone who is still reading this review should know I could go on and on and I wish I could. Not enough words can emphasize what Jennifer meant to our wedding. We obviously wanted her to join in on the festivities of open bar and open bar and open bar but she stayed late to make sure all our belongings were recovered and the entire venue was cleaned up and properly prepared for the next day's wedding that was taking place Sunday. Thank you Jennifer, from both of our families and our entire wedding party. We hope you were able to have fun and sit back and be proud of the work you did for our wedding because when we were sitting at our sweethearts' table and could soak in what memories we were gaining, we were on cloud nine and couldn't have been more grateful.
