I hired a total of 9 workers to help with my daughter's wedding and all of them went above and beyond! While it was a crazy day for me entertaining and greeting everyone, there were a few Spare Hands that I had the pleasure of interacting with: *Jacqueline did everything and anything but what really stood out was how she cleaned and mopped that kitchen at the venue; she made it look better than when we arrived! She killed it! *Martin was punctual, friendly, kind and proactive. He was the first to arrive at the venue before the start time. He greeted me with a smile that made me feel like I knew him! And because they were too shy to eat, I saw Martin bring our photo booth workers plates of food :) Oh also, he made it a point to shake my hand before he left. *Sam is a sweet, sweet girl. At the end of the party, I was scrambling to clean up a stain and she was right by my side. She made my urgency, her urgency. She made my priorities, her priorities. She anticipated my concerns and had solutions for me; she set my mind at ease. Just because I didn't mention the others doesn't mean they weren't amazing. They were all busy little bees! I hope to use this business again!

I talked to a few other companies before getting in touch with Spare Hands. After speaking to Jennifer, I knew their level of service was superior to the others. Natalie, our assistant, knew exactly what needed to be done without me asking her. Family always offers to help but they aren't professionals so they are relying on your direction. With Natalie's help, I was able to mingle with our guests and not stress about the details. I will definitely use Spare Hands again.

I recently hired Cassie to help plan my best friend's 50th birthday celebration and I honestly…read moredidn't know where to begin. I needed help fast and from our initial consultation she immediately put me at ease with her thoughtful recommendations. She presented several service package options and I chose the signature package. She handled every detail which made the planning process stress free. Her communication was excellent throughout, both with me and with all of the vendors, and everything came together exactly as planned. She kept the event within my budget and helped me stay on track. Super grateful to Cassie and her team for their hard work and professionalism. They created a super fun and memorable celebration that exceeded my expectations. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend Cassie to anyone looking for a planner who really cares about making things super special.

Looking back at my sister's wedding, one thing I know for sure is that we genuinely could not have…read moredone it without Shumaila I truly cannot recommend Shumaila and the SoCal Event Planners team enough. Shumaila coordinated all of my sister's wedding events, from the Nikkah to the Mayoon, Mehndi, and Shaadi, and she was an absolute lifesaver throughout every step of the process!! There is a reason everyone always says you need Shumaila for your event. She handles everything with so much care, professionalism, and heart. She managed countless moving pieces before, during, and even after every event, and what stood out most was how often she went above and beyond, even with things that were completely outside the typical role of a coordinator. What meant the most to us was how she made our entire family feel throughout the process. Wedding planning can be overwhelming, but Shumaila took so much stress off our shoulders and made us feel calm, happy, and taken care of On the actual event days, she handled so many little things behind the scenes that most people would never even notice, but those small details made such a huge difference. Her team was also absolutely incredible. Luis, Neha, and Nina were amazing and such a huge part of making everything run so smoothly They were kind, proactive, hardworking, and always ready to jump in wherever needed. There are so many little things they did that we will always be grateful for. Thank you, Shumaila, for everything you did for our family. Your dedication, kindness, and hard work did not go unnoticed, and we truly cannot thank you and your team enough. We will always be so grateful for you Everyone BOOK SHUMAILA!!!

We cannot say enough about Shumaila and the entire SoCal Event Planners team. They pulled off what…read moremost people would consider impossible: a full multi-day Desi wedding -- Mehndi, Nikkah, and Reception -- planned and executed beautifully in just a couple of months. From the very beginning, we felt completely supported. We had no idea where to start with vendors (especially décor), and Shumaila immediately stepped in with thoughtful recommendations, clear guidance, and a calm confidence that put us at ease. Every vendor she helped us choose ended up being fantastic. Beyond her planning expertise, Shumaila was incredibly mindful of our budget. She worked hard to help us stay on track without ever compromising on quality or the overall experience -- something we genuinely appreciated. The entire So Cal Event Planners team was warm, professional, and such a joy to work with. Their communication, organization, and the level of care they put into every detail made our wedding weekend feel seamless. Highly, highly recommend!

I am in the business to make money and not worry about planning or designing for events…read more **Scout Around** This is where art meets finesse and Laura definitely delivers. I was referred to Laura through a friend because I was asking around for an event planner and I was given several names from associates and friends. I called around and do what i do best, interview people and try to get inside their head to really understand who they are. Anybody can put a label on himself/herself and say i'm a planner. But if you're passionate about planning an event to ensure it comes out to the client's expectation, it will show in your enthusiasm and conversation. This is what I do best for business, I present materials, provide consultation, and find solutions and I love it. Clients find this quality attractive in me (not trying to get big headed) because I'm truly passionate about wanting to help out. As a result, I know what to look for when I select someone to help me with a service/job. ***My Expectation and Who I Am*** In my business, I deal with hundreds of clients a year and I cater to each and every one of them. When I give business to someone, I expect the same because that's what I deliver, excellence and exact communication. Out of all the planners I interviewed, I had a hunch Laura could follow through and I wasn't proven wrong. She went beyond what I could have predicted. ****Services Rendered**** I set up a event for some clients and I needed it to look professional, well planned, and the ambiance needed to look like something from the Ritz Carlton. Laura planned everything I needed and didn't bother with me the small details. I gave Laura my power of attorney when it came to planning and I'm glad I did. *****Networking Plus***** Laura has a huge network of other professionals she works with and for me, it's worth my time because I don't have to look for a DJ, catering company, and lighting. Of course, I did my due diligence and pre-interviewed each and every one of them before I said, "yes" and as the saying goes, "You are who you work with" is absolutely true for Laura. All her referrals were great. Someday when the powers at be (God and his sovereign plan), blesses me with a wife, I will definitely use Laura again as a wedding planner!

Laura was extremely detail oriented and made everything easy breezy. She was very easy to communicate with and she designed the cutest handmade invitations ever! Now I know where to go the next time I have to plan something. Thank you Laura!
