    I truly can't imagine surviving wedding planning & the entire wedding day without Aly and her team! We found Sunshine Events through Instagram. We spoke with several planners prior to speaking with Aly, and once we spoke, we knew we wanted to hire her. You could tell she was detail-oriented, organized, and so friendly from the initial call. She knew exactly what kind of vibe and aesthetic we were wanting and it made us feel confident she could execute the vision. And she absolutely did! We actually had a hiccup in the midst of wedding planning - about six months prior to our wedding date, the Palisades fire affected our original venue. As soon as the closures were announced, Aly had a list of venues near the area that were available and had already reached out for their packages. Although we were hopeful to be able to proceed with our original venue, it eased our minds knowing we had some backups available. Once we were about three months out, it became clear we needed to switch venues and Aly and her team notified our vendors and made the transition so smooth. And, it turns out, she was planning her own wedding in the midst of all this! Insane. We truly couldn't have asked for a better wedding day. It was so smooth, the timeline was perfect, and we received so many compliments on the guest experience. Hiring Sunshine Events was definitely the best decision we made and the day would not have been so perfect without their detailed attention and care. We are forever grateful!

    Christina and her team are amazing! My husband and I hired Christina about a year before our wedding, and she kept me sane throughout the entire planning process. We checked in monthly to make sure everything stayed on track, and she even helped us navigate the possibility of switching venues when wildfires affected the area (thankfully, we didn't end up needing to!) On our wedding day, Christina and her team were incredibly attentive- making sure we were taken care of, staying on schedule, and handling every detail seamlessly. I truly can't thank them enough for everything they did. I'd recommend Christina to any bride looking for a coordinator or planner for their big day!

    Hiring Christina as our wedding planner was one of the best decisions we made during the entire wedding process! At first, my fiancé (now husband) wasn't sure if we needed a planner given the cost, but after our first meeting with Christina, he immediately saw the value she would bring and was completely convinced. She was warm, energetic, knowledgeable, and made us feel instantly at ease. As we continued working with her, we saw just how well organized, communicative, and professional she was. Christina always responded to our texts and emails right away, and she was receptive to our constantly evolving ideas. Her experience and intuition made the entire planning process feel effortless. On the day of the wedding, our family and friends kept telling us how wonderful she was to work with. She never left our side, had drinks ready for us at the end of the aisle, and even made sure hors d'oeuvres were saved for us while we were taking photos. Looking back, I can confidently say Christina and her team were one of the very best vendor choices we made. Anyone who hires her can trust that their wedding will be planned and executed with the utmost care and attention!

    Sunshine Events was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, which was on 11/1/25. Aly, our planner and designer, was truly a blessing. As any bride knows, wedding planning can be stressful and overwhelming, but from the very beginning Aly and her team made the entire process feel organized, calm, and joyful. Aly is incredibly professional, kind, proactive, and extremely organized. She has an amazing ability to truly listen and ensure your vision becomes a reality. Once she got to know us, she just knew exactly what we wanted and then executed it flawlessly. Our wedding weekend exceeded every dream we had, and we owe that to Aly and her incredible team. From planning through the wedding day itself, everything ran seamlessly. As a recent bride, I can confidently say this is an investment that makes a world of a difference. If you are considering a planner, I highly recommend Sunshine Events. Their execution, attention to detail, and care for their couples are unmatched.

    I wish there were more stars available to properly rate Sunshine Events! I feel like 5/5 stars just isn't enough for how amazing they are. Hiring Aly as our wedding planner was hands down, the best thing we could have done while planning our big day. From the first phone call, Aly and her team were there to make sure we had the wedding of our dreams. We could tell immediately that she had incredible vibes and that we could trust her to make my Pinterest board come to life. My fiance and I moved across the country in the middle of wedding planning, which was VERY stressful, but Aly always made us feel like we were in good hands. No idea was too big and she made sure that we got everything we wanted, all within our budget! She thinks of everything and makes it a point to truly understand what exactly you envision your wedding to be. Talking with all the vendors can be stressful at times, but Aly made it so easy and answered all questions whether it was big or small. Leading up to the wedding I had SO MANY of my vendors compliment Aly for her attention to detail in every single email about the day of timeline. Throughout the wedding weekend, I didn't have a SINGLE worry. I knew Aly and her team would execute everything flawlessly. Throughout this whole process I've joked with my fiance that I would trust Aly with my life! We truly couldn't have imagined the day without her.

    We had the pleasure of working with Aly as our wedding planner, and we truly can't imagine our big day without her. From my very first intro call, I sensed Aly's balance of warmth and professionalism. Our planning journey wasn't without its challenges -- after already completing the last few details of planning for our first wedding venue, we changed venues just three weeks before our wedding due to the LA fires. What could've been a major setback ended up being a display of Aly's talent and dedication. She helped us promptly secure a new venue, attended a second tasting/walk-through with us, and made sure all of our vendors were informed of changes. Through all of it, she checked in regularly, kept us grounded, and became someone we truly leaned on. Aly was always a few steps ahead -- anticipating our needs and offering thoughtful solutions to problems before we even realized they existed. Her experience and intuition made the entire process feel effortless. She's sharp, detail-oriented, and on top of everything and showed this throughout our 15+ months of working with her. On the wedding day itself, Aly and her team never left my side. I felt completely supported and was able to be present and enjoy every moment, knowing she had everything under control. She brought my vision to life with such precision and care. Having event experience myself, I had high expectations for a planner and Aly truly exceeded it and went above and beyond for us at every turn. She's one of the best decisions we made in choosing our vendors, and anyone who works with her I'm certain will be in the best hands!

    We are so beyond thrilled and feel so lucky to have had the Sunshine Events team plan and coordinate our wedding day. Every part of the process was so seamless and helpful and every person on their team is incredible vibes and so sweet. All of the preparation made us feel so confident and like we did not have to worry about a single thing all day long, which is priceless and exactly what we were looking for. Special shoutout to Sarah who was with me all day and truly made the day flow immaculately!!!! Our day was especially complicated with multiple locations, transportation schedules, etc and Sarah is just so good at her job, we got to focus on getting married and being in the moment and not all of those tiny details. We are SO grateful and could not recommend Sunshine enough!!!

    I would not have had a wedding if it wasn't for Aly and Sarah of sunshine events. Aly was the lead coordinator and she was amazing. She was very detail oriented. She went above and beyond. I didn't have a clear vision of what I wanted but she helped me envision what would be the best day of my life. We had an issue with the venue due to the fire and before I could even think about a new venue, Aly had already emailed several venues for quotes. Sarah is her assistant and was there the latter part of the planning and Sarah was our lead person the day of the wedding. Sarah kept us on track and on time. She was very courteous to my family who can be a bit over bearing. She was amazing and ran the show. They both did extra calls and check ins. I have told friends and family about how much I loved working with Aly and Sarah. I really love them both and wish we could be friends in real life! :)

    Christina and the team at Sunshine Events did an absolutely PHENOMENAL job planning our wedding! From our very first meeting, Christina's warmth, organization, and deep knowledge of the wedding process put me at ease. She truly thinks of everything, and that became even more evident when we had to change our wedding venue just six weeks before the big day due to the LA fires. I genuinely thought we might have to cancel, but Christina and her team swooped in like superheroes--presenting new venue options, reworking logistics, and making what felt impossible completely seamless. Fast forward to the wedding day, and I couldn't have imagined a more perfect experience. Christina and her team took care of every detail, allowing me to be fully present with my fiancé, bridesmaids, family, and guests. From coordinating vendors to ensuring the flowers, décor, and even our wedding cake were flawlessly placed (and later delivered to our suite!), they handled it all with grace and precision. I cannot recommend Sunshine Events enough! If you're looking for a wedding planning team who will go ABOVE and beyond to make your day stress-free and magical, Christina and Sunshine Events is the team to book. I would hire them 100 times over!

From the moment we had to pick a planner, we knew Maria was the right choice. Our first phone call felt like talking to your best friend you had known for years. She showed genuine care and interest from the get go and we knew we were in good hands. As someone who is a little more Type A (bride) when it comes to organization and planning, it was over whelming trying to consider how to plan the biggest day of our lives. Maria went above and beyond and took any ounce of stress away. She helped us pick our vendor team early on into the planning process, allowing us to find people who matched our energy. What seemed to be so daunting became some of the easiest decisions to make. Throughout the year, Maria checked in with us to make sure things were okay. She looked over our contracts and helped us plan the next steps whether it was food tasting, floral meetings, making a design deck, or buying a cake just for a photo. Monthly chats quickly turned into weekly chats as we got closer to the big day. Maria ensured every little detail was covered asking us questions about our bridal party, songs we wanted to be played, table greetings, and thank you cards. Before the day of our wedding, she sent us a checklist of items to give her to help take the added weight off our shoulders so we can enjoy our day. What we thought was already an above and beyond was nothing near the day of experience. Maria and her team could not have planned a better timeline for us and our loved ones. Maria took charge handling all our vendors while her assistants Cat and Chelsea ensured we were okay and our bridal party was set and ready to go. Everything was seamless as they took care of little things such as ensuring we had food to eat, water to drink, and a moment to breathe. When we had some last minute changes such as changed meals or guest coming and going, they handled it with ease. Many of our guest raved about our vendors and how amazing the day was, but it couldn't have happened without Maria and her team. Our closest loved ones who knew Maria was our planner couldn't stop complimenting how on top of it she was the whole day, and we couldn't agree more. Maria is not only a planner but she becomes your friend. She takes genuine interest in you and makes you feel on top of the world. We couldn't be more fortunate enough to have worked with her and her team.

    Maria was the best day of coordinator we could have asked for. She was super organized, kind, and…read morekept the day flowing spectacularly. She also was able to send us some BTS content that we didn't even know she was taking. I couldn't have imagined anyone else helping make our day as magical as it was. Her and her colleague Chelsea truly were the dream team. We 10/10 recommend Maria to anyone who wants the perfect day!

From day one she was always professional, organized, and communicative yet super friendly and personable. It felt like we were planning our wedding with a good friend who really cared about us. If it's within your budget to hire a professional wedding planner, I absolutely recommend you do it. For me, I was willing to cut our budget elsewhere to afford a wedding planner because I don't enjoy planning parties and had no interest trying to DIY plan one of the most important events of my life. Looking back now, hiring Mele Amore was the best decision we made. I had a family emergency come up the week of my wedding - my dad was hospitalized days before the wedding and wasn't able to attend. It was a scary and stressful time and I hope no other bride ever has to experience anything like that, but it's in moments like these where having a professional planner proves to be invaluable. It was such a relief to know that Nicole had all the wedding details handled so I could just focus on my family situation and on mentally preparing myself for the wedding day despite the sadness I felt. My dad obviously had a lot of roles in the wedding, but we were able to scramble to make alterations, which I thank my wonderful family and Nicole for stepping up and helping with. Nicole made all the necessary adjustments to the schedule and notified all of our vendors of the situation, so everyone was sensitive, kind, and comforting to me on the wedding day which really helped me feel better. It turned out to still be a beautiful and joyful day despite the circumstances and I am able to look back on my wedding day fondly - for that I will forever be grateful to Nicole and Mele Amore! Nicole was able to deliver the wedding we wanted within our discussed budget and I am still stunned to this day on how beautiful our florals and decor looked with the budget we had! The owner, Michelle, handles the designs and totally nailed the look we were going for: cozy, romantic, and luxe without being over-the-top or gaudy. I had so much fun going through mood boards and the mock-up with Nicole, but the actual reception design day of completely exceeded our expectations. On the wedding day, we had Nicole plus two assistants with us the entire time. They were all so great at keeping everything on schedule, getting people to where they needed to be, and stopping family members from mobbing us to take a million phone photos. Despite the stress leading up to the wedding, the actual wedding day itself went really smoothly and was pretty stress-free. If there were any issues on our wedding day my husband and I don't know about them, which is how it should be! Thank you so much to Nicole, Michelle, and the Mele Amore team for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

    I hired Luxury Estate Weddings & Events (LEWE) for my wedding last year, and their…read moreunprofessionalism and unethical behaviors had caused me a lot of stress and a few sleepless nights. Please note that I'm quite an easy-going bride, and none of the stress came from the actual planning. I really wished someone who worked with them prior had warned me, so I write this as a warning to people who are considering to hire them. I was blown away with their nice website and pretty pictures, and wanted to have our wedding at a private venue - so we decided to go with them. However, after you sign that extremely detailed unbreakable contract for the "All Inclusive Wedding Package", it just went downhill from there. As it is an all inclusive package, almost every vendor is through them (e.g. caterer, photographer, DJ etc). In this case, even if (LEWE)'s services is not up to your expectations, you cannot fire them because they are tied to everything else. If you do 'fire' them, then you will have to forfeit all the money and vendors. It is a horrible position to be in, and by signing this contract, you are giving them all the power. I think from this stand point alone, it is enough for you to stay away from them. In addition, a lot of what the package offered was very basic/ bare minimum, for example they only include 1 hour open bar. To extend the open bar, they charge premium prices per guest. Yet, you will be stuck with their bar vendor. The caterer also told me the Hors d'oeuvre included only had 4 pieces per person, and that I (and every bride prior) had to pay for extra food to make sure their guests are full. They market themselves as having packages starting at 50k, however when you sign the contract there is a $1,500 non-refundable cleaning fee included- so even at the bare minimum, you'd have to pay $51,500. There were extra costs and upgrades (at a high premium) almost every step of the way. However, It really wasn't the financials that bothered me, it was the way LEWE handled it that just made me feel like i was getting scammed. Ultimately, because everything was 'included', they try to cut cost wherever they can so they can keep more of the money. They also tried to up-sell me, and snuck in extra costs. There was also company politics and the employees would argue and include me in those emails/ conversations - which was unprofessional. Look at the bigger picture: they always reuse vendors, so your wedding almost doesn't differ from any of their other clients. You pay premium for their services too (package starts at about 51k+, but it includes very basic things so no one only ends up paying that amount). I think the ideal way is to contact the private venue yourself and hire a wedding coordinator flat rate (no kickbacks). A good wedding coordinator will handle and coordinate all the vendors on your behalf. This way, every vendor is independent, and they are all held accountable. I've since spoken to friends who have had beautiful well-run weddings, and one of the top wedding coordinator (who had 13 assistants and sent weekly to-do lists, follow ups etc) charges $7k flat rate. That is way of a better investment, than paying 50k and getting up-charged along the way. I swear, with this plan I believe you can have a beautiful wedding that is more personalized to you, at almost half the cost. Feel free to DM me for more information.
