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!

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!

They went above and beyond and made our wedding the most beautiful event of the evening! My husband had proposed to me in Shinjuku National Park in Japan the year prior and when I told Flora I wanted to recapture that very moment, she knew exactly what to do and how to go about this. She went so far as to ship over newly bloomed cherry blossoms from Japan! Not to exaggerate but I really truly felt like I was transported back there when I was walking down that aisle. If you're getting married, hire Royce Weddings. From the vision down to the fine details like plating and menus, they will not disappoint. They've even got you covered with their connections to multiple amazing vendors.

We went with her because she knew our venue (The Hudson Loft) inside and out, and that turned out to be such a huge advantage.

On the big day, everything was exactly as we had planned. If anything needed adjusting, Eunice handled it seamlessly, making changes without anyone even noticing. It was all done so smoothly and subtly, I couldn't have asked for more. The whole team pulled everything together to make our wedding absolutely flawless and unforgettable. Can you believe it'll be 5 years this year? Maybe we should do it all over again! Eunice, thoughts? Haha jk, love you all!

Smita Mohindra and her team at Ethnic Essense (EE) did an extraordinary job in planning, managing…read moreand executing our daughter's wedding celebrations over the last weekend of June 2026. Indian weddings are multi-day affairs with several separate events. Coupled with that, our son-in-law comes from a Mexican heritage. The EE team took all of these into account to visualize and implement a memorable, once-in-a-lifetime experience for us and all of our guests at a beautiful venue, the Hyatt Regency Resort in Huntington Beach, CA. Their services included complete event planning and timeline orchestration, coordination of multiple wedding components, including, specific location/venue selection and decoration for each event, Hindu priest for the wedding, bridal party hair & make-up, DJ & Lighting, Groom's horse and dhol (drum) player for the "baraat", catering for multiple events including "Chai Time", Appetizers & Dinners for Sangeet and the Reception, shuttle service between 2 guest hotels and wedding venue, etc. Many of these activities were implemented using different vendors, but EE had a ready list of tried and tested vendors for each, and they handled the actual negotiations on our behalf. Each event venue was very creatively conceptualized with Indian & Mexican elements and masterfully executed to create a lovely ambience. Smita's background and experience in design was amply on display! The DJ did a super job in getting everyone to get off their feet and join in the fun. The caterer, Manohar of Delhi Palace, served up a delicious cornucopia of appetizers and entrees that included items featuring Mexican, North Indian and Bengali flavors. EE helped us to refine the fusion menu that included items such as churros, kulfi-faluda, 3 types of halwa, paneer & lamb tacos, avocado fries, variety of kababs, luchi-kosha mangsho-dum aloo, etc. I would like specially recognize our event planner, Jennifer, who did a masterful job guiding us over a 15 month period planning our event and managing all day-of activities. She was ably assisted by the EE team, including Rippu, Neha, Priya and others. The EE proactiveness and attention to detail was really awesome. Case in point: I fell accidentally on the night before Sangeet and was hospitalized. They set up a livestream so that I could watch it from my hospital room. Next day, I got released in a wheel chair/walker so I could participate in the ceremony, and they had a ramp built to get on the wedding "mandap"! All without us asking. All said and done, we are very happy with all that EE did for us and would whole-heartedly recommend them to anyone considering an experienced event management team who can deliver memorable experience.

Thanks to omicron, we experienced many unknowns, ups and downs during my wedding planning process but Erika was right there by my side! She called to check up on me as a friend/sister, especially when things were going rough (and trust me things got rough with family and Covid restrictions) - I did not expect that at all but that is just how beautiful of a soul she is! She was super thorough, has great taste and really helped alleviate the burden of planning for me. She has an accounting background in her previous life and will help you out with that piece as well! Anddddddd best of all, she was like a therapist quite often- scratch that- Erika became a dear friend! She is a genuine, loving and down to earth soul and I am so glad we hired her!

We got married last October and Corinth was our incredible day-of coordinator. I knew I didn't want…read moreto spend the day worrying about logistics, and having someone with her expertise was absolutely the right choice. From the moment we reached out to N&FL to the actual wedding day, the entire timeline was under three months (I know...crazy!). Despite the quick turnaround, Corinth made sure everything came together seamlessly. In the weeks leading up to the wedding and on the day itself, she kept everything organized, on schedule, and running smoothly. What really stood out was how proactive she was. Since our venue was a space she hadn't worked in before, Corinth actually visited ahead of time to familiarize herself with it, figure out the best locations for vendor setups, and ask thoughtful questions we hadn't even considered. That level of care and preparation made a huge difference and gave us so much peace of mind. Because of Corinth and her calm, positive energy, we were able to fully enjoy our wedding day without worrying about a single thing. If you want someone who will hype you up, keep everything running smoothly, and make your wedding day feel easy and fun, Corinth is your person. We're so grateful she was part of our big day!

It's very simple, just go with Now & Forever Love. We first talked to Helen and right away I was so…read morecomfortable talking to her. She set us up with Erica and the rest is history. Her communication was amazing and she was so helpful and trustworthy with any task. She thought of things I would never have imagined. She made our wedding perfect (and I do mean perfect). Both my husband and I are not planners or decision makers or organized. AND OUR WEDDING WAS PERFECT. Why? Because of our wedding planners. We started with the 3 month package and upgraded to the planning package. Worth every penny.

Honestly, the wedding coordination service did not feel worth the price we paid. We sourced all of…read moreour own vendors and managed/DIY all of the decoration elements ourselves. The coordinators' involvement was largely limited to basic setup and following the timeline we created together. When issues arose during the wedding, there was a significant lack of communication and problem solving. For example, there were problems with the gate crash games, and the top layer of our wedding cake went missing. As newlyweds, we were not aware that the top layer of the cake is traditionally saved for the first anniversary. Since the coordinators presented themselves as professionals with experience in wedding traditions, we expected them to provide guidance on important customs like this and ensure meaningful details were not overlooked. Instead, no one informed us that the cake layer was missing or explained its significance, and we only found out afterward. Additionally, the coordinators presented themselves as knowledgeable and experienced in Chinese wedding traditions, which was one of the reasons we trusted them. I specifically wanted my family to be present and able to watch the gate crash games. However, everyone was ushered out, leaving me completely alone in the room when my husband arrived to pick me up. This was extremely disappointing, as sharing this tradition with my family was an important part of the experience. The gate crash games also did not go as intended. While my bridesmaids were responsible for carrying out the games, the coordinators should have stepped in when they noticed things were not following the intended format. Given their claimed expertise in Chinese wedding traditions, they should have been able to recognize when the games were not being conducted properly and provide guidance or correction. During the traditional tea ceremony, the positioning was also handled incredibly poorly. We were placed by the photographer in a way that left our backs completely facing the groom's side of the family, meaning his relatives couldn't see a single thing. This is exactly the kind of situation where the coordinator should have spoken up and adjusted the layout, but instead, they stood by and let a deeply meaningful moment be ruined for half of our guests. During speeches, I made it clear everyone was to stand at their seats when giving speeches. Jeannie told one person to stay at her seat but allowed the other two to come onto the stage. Totally not consistent at all! Made that one person look bad for staying at her seat whereas the others went on stage to give their speech. That person at the seat was more important to me than the other two giving speeches! Yet they were not told to stay at their seats and allowed on stage! We also received multiple complaints from our guests regarding the entertainment: * DJ: The music was poorly managed. Every time I left the room for an outfit change, the music stopped completely, which disrupted the flow and atmosphere of the reception. * MC: While the MC was friendly, they did not help create energy or engagement among our guests. We had specifically requested that important announcements and activities be translated into Chinese for our elderly guests. Instead, the reception games were conducted entirely in English. As a result, many of our older guests did not understand what was happening and were unable to participate, leaving only the younger guests involved. Overall, we were extremely disappointed by the lack of communication, oversight, coordination, and cultural consideration. We expected a much higher level of attention to detail, guidance, and support throughout the event.

But having them as part of our own wedding was a whole different experience... and honestly, I'm even more blown away. Jaycie is truly one of the most thoughtful planners I've ever met. From the very beginning, she made everything feel easy and calm, even when I was overwhelmed with my own to-do lists! She always checked in at just the right moments, paid attention to the smallest details, and made sure we felt cared for every step of the way. On the wedding day, I didn't have to think about a single thing, she had it all covered, and I got to just enjoy it. And Jeannie! Her hosting was such a huge part of what made the day feel warm and smooth. She brought such a lovely balance of professionalism and heart, keeping everything flowing beautifully while still making it feel personal and intimate. So many of our guests told us how natural and welcoming the whole vibe was, and a big part of that is thanks to her. It was really special for me to be surrounded by a team I've worked with professionally for years, this time as a bride. I already trusted them deeply, but seeing how they cared for us on such a meaningful day made me appreciate them on a whole new level. To any couple looking for planners who are calm, kind, detailed, and truly love what they do, you won't find better than Allegro Event. I can't recommend them enough!

I interviewed three and Wendy set herself apart by instantly setting me at ease unlike most other wedding vendors who put on the pressure. I hired her for day of service and she went above and beyond - staying in contact with me, ensuring we were on track and recommending amazing people to work with, and tips whenever I got stuck. She always let me know if there was anything I hadn't thought of or should consider. I have family who have a special diet and she was able to connect me to a great baker who made a delicious gluten-free cake! I wanted to include succulents in my floral arrangements and she connected me to a florist who did a beautiful job within my budget. Once the wedding came, she and her team kept everything running smoothly and as much on time as possible. So many of my guests said it was one of the best weddings they've been to. My father-in-law still talks about how quick everyone was to accommodate requests with a smile and how professional they were overall. She also managed to add beautiful touches that I got to see at the wedding. Planning my wedding was stressful but knowing she had my back definitely took a lot of the heat off. Overall, she was warm, on top of everything I threw at her, and completely professional. If you can get her to do your event, treat her like gold!!
