Domenico truly goes above and beyond to make sure every detail is perfect. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. At the event, we needed audio and visual to present information and Keith did an incredible job setting everything up. It made the whole evening run so smoothly & my life easier! The servers were equally amazing--attentive, friendly, and on top of everything all night. They made everyone feel welcomed and taken care of, which made such a difference in the overall atmosphere. And the food... absolutely amazing! Every dish was delicious, beautifully presented, and a huge hit with our guests. If you're looking for a venue that delivers exceptional service, outstanding food, and an unforgettable experience, Celebrations Venue is it. My clients/customers LOVED everything about this luxury experience and have still been giving me compliments. Highly recommend!

My husband and I got married in December of 2019 and Heather of LVL was the very first step we…read moretook towards planning our wedding. Best decision we made...besides each other of course ;) I did a TON of research and spoke to 7 planners before moving forward with Heather. I could tell right from the first 5 minutes of talking to her that I wanted to work with her. She is kind, genuine, organized, transparent, helpful, creative, and so many other wonderful things. I am very much a Type A person and was nervous I wouldn't get exactly what I wanted, but I got everything and more! She even has this incredible platform she uses, Aisle Planner, and I was obsessed. If you like organization, it'll be your best friend during this process. Everyone kept telling me that planning a wedding was going to be a really stressful time, but to be completely honest, the only thing I was stressed about the entire time was our welcome dinner (which was the only event we didn't hire Heather for). The day of the wedding went smoother than I could have ever dreamed of, and I never had to think about anything other than feeling/looking my best and enjoying the most magical night. I promise all of you amazing brides that you will be SO happy with your decision if you go with LVL. Thank you so, so much Heather!

Wow! We are forever grateful to Amy for being our wedding planner. She is absolutely amazing at…read morewhat she does; I really cannot imagine anyone doing a better job. We hired Amy as a partial planner, which included flowers/design, suggesting vendors, and taking control over everything once the wedding got closer. Every aspect of her service was great. The floral and décor mockups she did were absolutely gorgeous and exactly what I envisioned. I could have never achieved the vision I had without her help. Our vendor team was to die for, and I'm pretty sure we got a lot of them because of Amy's connections. Most importantly, she makes you feel completely at ease and excited on your wedding day. She truly has everything under control and you don't have to worry about anything but getting ready, calming your nerves, and walking down that aisle! If you're looking for a wedding planner, look no further than LVL and Amy for the wedding of your dreams and your best experience on the special day!

From start to finish, they were there for us every step of the way, even through the emotional support. Cynthia and the team have such an eye for design and made my dream wedding come to fruition. They are extremely organized throughout the planning process and made everything super easy for us. The day of went so smoothly because of the team as well! When I saw the ceremony and reception I was in awe at how beautiful everything looked. The whole time there was always someone asking if I needed a break or if I needed water. I'm honestly sad that my wedding era is over because it was a joy working with them and planning together! I cannot recommend them enough

If you want a wedding planner who will completely elevate your vision while removing every ounce of…read morestress, hire Cynthia. Hiring her as our full-time wedding planner (from initial design to final execution and day-of coordination) was hands-down the best decision we made. As a Type B bride who often sent delayed or vague responses (and planning a destination wedding), I was entirely dependent on Cynthia. She is fiercely organized, deeply knowledgeable, and became my ultimate voice of reason in an industry that can feel incredibly overwhelming. Her industry experience and partnership proved absolutely invaluable. Cynthia has an incredible network of connections, allowing her to source vendors that either fit perfectly within a reasonable budget or provided way more value than we ever expected. Because of her expertise, our wedding became something far more beautiful and grand than I ever thought was possible for us. Throughout the entire process, she limited my stress entirely. I had so much confidence in her execution that a massive weight was lifted off my shoulders. I truly do not think a wedding would have happened without her! Cynthia has a warm, collaborative, and genuinely patient spirit, and her design eye is unmatched. In addition to designing almost every detail, she handled our floral design from start to finish, from the initial conception to execution and strike. It was beautiful. Her and her team's attention to detail is elite. When some of our signage (the bar menu, welcome table, and memory table signs) arrived and didn't align with our vision, Cynthia's team didn't blink. They stepped in and custom-made the signage themselves to ensure everything was perfect. She was also completely flexible with all of my custom requests, including some special party favors where her team completely over-delivered. We also commissioned a few custom items as well; Cynthia and her team truly can do it all. They even gifted a shadow box of some of the custom details they created for us :') But what truly sets Cynthia apart is her heart. My mom mentioned in passing how much of a BTS fan she is. Knowing how complex that ticketing system is (IYKYK), I didn't think twice about it but Cynthia did. She somehow tracked down two tickets, which allowed me to surprise my mom. It had nothing to do with wedding planning and everything to do with how deeply she cares for her clients. There are probably a million things her team handled behind the scenes with the utmost professional care. I would not hesitate to hire her again for any future event. If you are on the fence, hire her immediately!

I told her my fiancé is paralyzed and this will need to be an ADA/wheelchair accessible wedding. To some planners, this seemed like a challenge, but to Samantha, she was excited and more than happy to accommodate our needs. From day one, Samantha put our emotions, safety, and accessibility first. Her empathy and compassion were truly commendable and made the entire experience easy and comfortable. She leads with grace, poise, and above all, professionalism. Samantha is extremely reputable and reliable in the wedding industry and it's clear why when you see her put on an event. My wedding was truly a dream come true. It was everything I could've wanted and more. Samantha steered me in the right direction and I never felt pressured to make a decision that I was not comfortable with. Samantha honored our budget and presented cost effective options for every decision. The day of the wedding was the easiest, most peaceful day of my life! Samantha and Brayden from Pure Lavish were by my side every step of the way. I didn't look at a clock the entire day! Brayden was a true girls girl and companion the day of helping me get ready in my bridal suite. Her sense of humor, kindness, and loyalty was unwavering. If something went wrong, I had no idea as Brayden's professionalism and calmness took care of it. She was absolutely incredible. Thank you Pure Lavish for giving me the happiest day of my life filled with unconditional love and support. Thank you to Samantha... a true friend for life. I am so grateful and appreciative for Pure Lavish!

This review is so incredibly overdue - where do I even BEGIN?! I'm sitting here with tears in my…read moreeyes thinking not only about how perfect our day was but how truly incredible the women of Pure Lavish are. Moral of this story: do NOT sleep on Pure Lavish. Sign with them immediately - your research ends here. Buckle up for our story... Looking for guidance while wedding planning is SO stressful - it's hard to know where to start, especially planning a destination wedding (we live in Northern CA). We had our venue and our photographer but nothing else, so, being the researcher I am, I hopped on Google and began searching for "best planners in Orange County." I found a few options, Pure Lavish included, and started submitting inquiries. I wasn't sure about what kind of support we needed. I think when you start planning, you're like "I can do everything myself and only need minimal support." I was SO wrong - more to come on that. Pure Lavish stood out immediately. Carrie, the owner of PL, was the one to respond to my inquiry with a customized, non-robotic, hilarious email that acknowledged my silly inquiry about not knowing what I needed. That interaction was a huge selling point for me. She quickly set me up with one of PL's planners, Samantha. To say that I clicked with Sam would be the understatement of the century. Her bubbly energy and openness made me feel like I was talking to an old friend. She was so knowledgeable and so helpful in answering my questions about what kind of support we needed. In my original budget, I didn't plan on including a wedding planner, but I quickly realized just how important it was to have an expert as our guide along the way, as well as a creative lens to help with design. We signed with PL almost immediately after and didn't think twice. Over the next few months, it became clear just how well-connected PL is in Orange County. I had a pretty clear vision with a pre-defined budget that Sam knew exactly how to support. She identified all of the right vendors for what we were looking for and what our desired spend was for each part of the wedding. I ended up not doing anything myself and outsourcing everything because we loved all of the vendors so much. The network that PL brings to the relationship is probably one of the biggest considerations you should make as a bride. My mom and I made a few trips down to Southern CA to do live planning, select rentals, tastings, etc - it was SO awesome to see Sam in her element and to experience vendor relationships live. PL has such a stellar reputation in Orange County - that was abundantly clear every time we met someone new that we were working with. No trip to OC will ever be complete without seeing Sam! The time, energy, and excitement that Sam contributed to our wedding were truly incomparable. Her design board and ideas based on my feedback were absolutely perfect. We incorporated 100% of her ideas into our day and made our guests feel so special with all of the personalized recommendations that she made. The attention to detail, the command of the wedding party to keep things in line, and the ridiculous organization skills that she possesses are what defined the overall success of the weekend. On wedding day, the PL team showed up in FULL FORCE. We were so honored to have Carrie there to support us, and our bridal concierge Caroline was the definition of "being in the right place at the right time." A MIND READER! The worst part of the day was my shoe heel breaking (not bad, right?) and Caroline somehow crafted a clay pearl to match the ones on the broken heel. Absolutely brilliant. The PL team has become family. I won't ever be able to thank them enough for making our day the most wonderful day of our lives! I'll also never get sick of the regular flow of compliments that we're still getting 9 months later.... THANK YOU PURE LAVISH!

Paola and Sandra did an incredible job helping plan our wedding. I got married a couple weeks ago…read moreat Terranea hotel and it was the best day of my life. We found the Say I Do to Details team online and I was highly impressed by their good reviews. Their planning exceeded my expectations. From being always available, to providing suggestions and insight into timeline, and coordinating everything so well the day of, their team is simply the best. I admire their passion for planning and it was so incredible working with them. I worked with Paola and Sandra directly and Sandra was there day of. Paola and Sandra are very experienced, professional, and kind. Both were actively involved in the planning process. I'm extremely type A and it's hard for me to trust people to take over (especially when I knew it was one of the most important days in my life) and take on tasks, but I trusted them 100%. To start off, they have a lot of experience working at Terannea, which made things a lot easier for us and helped things run smoothly. Moreover, the vendors I selected knew of Paola and Sandra and their team and I admired their good reputation in the wedding industry. Knowing what I know now, it would have been easier for me to have hired them as full on planning instead of day of coordination just because they're so good at what they do that I really trust every decision they make. I keep getting comments from my family and friends that the wedding was one of the best they've been to. Moreover I've received many comments specifically from my bridal party and close family about the incredible planning team keeping the day so smooth and on track. There's a trend on social media about "wedding regrets" and my husband and I keep saying to eachother thankfully that we have zero regrets. Every vendor was amazing and the planning team really went above and beyond what was asked of them and for that I'm forever grateful. I appreciate that the team asked us what 3 things were important to us on our day. 1. our guests have an amazing time 2. the timeline runs smoothly 3. to have fun That's exactly what happened! I am grateful that I was not stressed the day of and we are so happy we found Sandra and Paola as they helped turn my dream wedding into a reality. The wedding went even better than I could have imagined and I can say without a doubt that it would not have gone so perfectly without Sandra and Paola with Say I Do to Details. I will 100% contact them to help plan any party I have in the future. Choose them for your planning team- you won't regret it!

She…read moredid not sell us on anything and when we were asking about how the set up would be, she shared that she had experience at this venue and that she was a planner. We followed up to see what wedding planning packages she had and safe to say this was the best decision made. Eliza, Tammy + Team provided the full service for our wedding. We hired them for planning, design, coordination, rentals, and florals and it made life so much easier. I had the best experience with Eliza and team with our weekly meetings for a few months to align on all the details. She understand and appreciated our mixed cultural background and how we wanted to incorporate elements of this for a Persian and Vietnamese wedding. I have always heard wedding planning to be stressful but safe to say my experience was the best and the day of the wedding went beautifully. Nothing ever goes to plan and I'm really happy Eliza and her team are experienced enough to adjust to last minutes changes such as guest no shows, etc. She captured our vision perfectly and I'm already thinking of future events I would plan with Bel Events again!

Horrible experience, stay away!…read more This is a review for Eliza at BEL Events for her wedding planning services. We met Eliza at our venue 8 month before our wedding date. During the first session she presented herself well, and she talked and bragged a lot about her 18 yrs of experience in event planning and stories about how she handles wedding situations. So, we thought she is the right event planner for us and signed a contract. After signing the contract and making the payment, she was very hard to find and we did not see the expected action from her side, and every time we followed up, her response was: "don't worry I will manage everything before the wedding day". We were asking for the basics of planning such as timeline, vendor recommendations (a few to choose from) and communications (which was part of the contract) but not no action except a quote of her own rental service. We were getting closer to the wedding date and her lack of action made us so worried and very frustrated. Eventually we had to get involved and did almost 90% of the work ourselves. She was very hard to find but even when we could talk to her, she would create more unnecessary problems to an extant that my wife had panic attacks after a few meetings we had with her. 2 month before our wedding she caused so much anxiety and frustration that we decided to end our contract with her and find another planner. Thankfully, our new planner was amazing and our Wedding planning went very smooth after that, and the event was as wonderful as we could imagine! With way lower cost than what Eliza had proposed! After I requested to cancel the contract she disappeared and never responded to our emails, which is very unprofessional. Here is a list of a few issues from our experience of working with here: 1- Accessibility: every time we had a question or needed to talk to her, it was taking several days until she gets back to us. With irrelevant excuses, like she would show me her busy google calendar! 2- Push to use her own services as vendors: Per her contract she had to suggest different vendors so we can choose. But since she has rental and flower services, she was arguing so much to stop us from even looking at other options! She charges unnecessarily expensive! By doing a little research, we found our vendors and saved at least 50% with same or better quality! 3- Nonsense arguments and rude attitude: In many occasions she was just insisting on holding the event the way SHE wants, without paying attention to our request or desire. Every time we requested something, her answer was: "I don't want MY event to be that way or I don't want MY guests to be that way"!!! With a condescending attitude emphasizing that "I have 18 yrs of experience and I know what to do"!!! Any simple request would become a long story and unnecessary argument. In one occasion my wife requested that guests throw flower petals while walking out of aisle, and she immediately said: "No!, you can't do that, I don't want my cleaning crew spend time on cleaning the petals"!!!! In another occasion Eliza was insisting on only using her recommended valet service (which was quoting more than double the price of the service we eventually used) and on top of it she was forcing us to rent extra parking lot out of venue and pay extra for shuttle service!!!! While the venue had enough capacity! And when I respectfully said: I am confident that the venue has enough capacity for parking, she got very angry and said: "in that case tell all your guests to use UBER and they can't drive their own car"!!! It was a nightmare working with BEL Events and I don't recommend her service due to lack of professionalism and decency in her business.
