We are high end Wedding professionals who value curating one of kind event experiences that reflect our couples love. InGobo Events' home base is in Southern California and our connections reach all over the nation and abroad.

I met Christina at a Bridal Expo and was amazed with the offered Day Of Coordination package. I was able to easily communicate my priorities on the special day and even share my wedding pet peeves to avoid. Christina was excellent at brainstorming ideas and suggested plenty of ways to approach a situation. When we worked on building the timeline together, she was very thorough and insightful. I sent her so many timeline revisions (as timing means EVERYTHING and it definitely matters), but Christina took them and made it look seamless. On the wedding day, Christina and her team (thank you Heather and Leanna!) made sure we were happy and stress-free. Our morning started with Heather running the errands of the busy morning and was the go-to person for myself and the wedding entourage. Heather was also able to help us create a floral bouquet we used for our ceremony offering. It turned out so beautiful! She did a terrific job. I was always reminded to take a bite of food and to stay hydrated while we were getting ready. Christina helped us execute the ribbon wand exit after our church ceremony. It turned out to be one of the highlights of the day. Everyone had so much fun doing it. As for the reception, Ingobo was able to help set the table decorations- centerpieces, candles, name cards, order of guests, etc. Leanna was at our side making sure we were well-fed and no one pulled us away from the sweetheart table. She was able to give us reminders of the timeline and was very sweet. Overall, Christina and her team orchestrated our wedding day perfectly. We received many compliments from our guests stating they noticed how smooth the day went. Ingobo's Day of Coordination services made a huge impact on how we were able to enjoy our special day. My husband and I are truly grateful for hiring them as part of our wedding team.

My wife and I just had a beautiful wedding ceremony and reception and owe a tremendous amount of the outcome to our wedding coordinator Joy. We were attempting to plan a fairly large wedding in a span of less than three months. After getting a venue and recommendations for vendors I set out trying to put this together. After a couple weeks I realized there was just too many things to do, and reached out and hired Joy. From that moment she took control and eased all my worries. She contacted all the vendors, put together the wedding and reception timelines all while keeping us informed and modifying things based on changes we wanted. She was most amazing on the day of the event, my wife is Filipina and a few of her bridesmaids were going on “Philippino Time”, Joy never got flustered she adjusted on the fly, worked seamlessly with our photographer who need “20 more minutes “ for some some additional photos. She adjusted everything and we completed all the things we wanted done before the reception ended. I cannot recommend her services more and can guarantee she will meet all your needs for your event. Thank you Joy!

It Could All Be So Simple 

5.0

  • Offers 3 services

  • Serves Marina del Rey, CA

I have worked in event planning for a few years now. For weddings in particular, I have always worked on the vendor management side of things. When my vendors constantly asked why I wasn't a coordinator myself, I realized that I hadn't even considered it.

To say that B is a miracle worker and a blessing is an understatement. A little background: Like many brides, I thought I could do this all on my own. However, 3 months until our wedding, I finally came to understand that I need help, and I am so lucky to have found B (or more like so lucky she never gave up in reaching out to me). My one regret is that I did not go to her sooner. If you want a wedding planner who is hard working, zero-nonsense, extremely organized, and will make you feel like their #1, B is for you. I told her when getting started that I need someone who will hand my hand as if I am a 12 yo during this whole process, and she did it. She relieved so much of my stress, was an amazing soundboard during this whole process, was my #1 advocate. She knew when to give me the "I gotchu" to the "I am going to be real with you..." I did not think I would be able to enjoy my wedding as the bride, but B made it a priority that my husband and I, as well as our entire family and all of our guests, enjoy this special day. I am so happy to say, that she did it. Everyone, including myself, had an amazing, smooth wedding day, and it was all thanks to her. I cannot vouch for B enough. Yes, she really is the best thing ever. Yes, she is really that affordable (despite all of us telling her she is under-charging). And yes, I still wish I could hire her as my life coach. Ladies (and gents): If you are looking for a wedding planner, I cannot emphasize my absolute adoration and love for this woman. She pulled off miracle in my eyes.

Working with Michelle has been an absolute pleasure. We selected Michelle because of her long successful track record and also because we have close friends who admitted that Michelle was to be trusted. Selecting a planner can be difficult but thankfully we were blessed with the best one! My wife expects nothing but perfection so the communication between her and Michelle was constant. Everytime my wife had a question or some reassurance; Michelle was there to assist immediately. As a husband, what I appreciated the most was her attention to detail and her calmness. She would always jot down all of our wishes and requests in her notebook in which I respected because there were a lot of asks on our end. Such a professional, responsible, trustworthy person.

Awarded Best of Zola
Julia was our day-of coordinator and she is someone you can rely on and know that she and her team will have your back. There are a lot of wins from our wedding that we know couldn’t have happened without Julia and her team. 1. Perfect set up and break down: For our wedding, we had a lot of detailed DIY set ups and fragile arrangements which Julia and her team were able to oversee, set up, and break down for us which was incredibly important to us – we didn’t break or lose one of our items, and finished all within our allotted hour time frame. From DIY centerpiece florals, to DIY acrylic everything – to our own slideshow and long bar set ups – it was exactly to our vision. 2. Above and beyond with our fur-children: You can count on Julia to also take on all sorts of requests for your big day. We had our 5 dogs in the ceremony which was a critical part for us and her team was able to make that happen despite the extra logistical lifts and practice. 3. Timing: the dress rehearsal Julia led was incredibly helpful to the wedding party and officiant that it set us up for success that on the actual wedding, we started ON TIME and had buffer time for any set backs or emergencies. She was also great at guiding our guests in a swift manner to the ceremony and then the reception room despite the open bar 4. Fun: Although we hired Julia and her team for only the day-of, we felt like when they were with our families, wedding party, and guests, that they were part of our group – they were friendly, social, polite, and incredibly professional. We needed Julia and her team on the day of our wedding, we just didn’t realize and appreciate it even more so until the day-of. Thank you Julia and Kim for everything in prep and on the day of our special day. We’re grateful to have you had on our side to make the wedding of our dreams come to life.

With more than 40 years of collective industry experience between us, we have earned a reputation for architecting extraordinary events built upon a foundation of bespoke service. We focus on quality over quantity, taking on only a select number of mutually aligned clients each year. This allows us to protect our creative integrity, and deliver the caliber of design and production our couples truly deserve.

Natalie and the team at Faye Fern Creative did all the planning and design work for me and my wife's wedding this past month, and they did a PHENOMENAL job. First off, I think communication is key when you're planning an event of this size and magnitude, and Natalie was incredibly easy to communicate with. She was always just a text or call away, and she never made me feel like she was rushing me if I had any questions or concerns or wanted to flesh out the details of a certain issue. She was always patient, level-headed, receptive to criticism, and willing to discuss any issue whatsoever. The communication overall pre-wedding was very on-point. Secondly, Natalie's talent for designing and creating a timeless beautiful aesthetic is second to none. Her taste is impeccable, she has an attention to detail that you will deeply respect, and she will help you create a cohesive design element that will have you and your guests blown away. From the ceremony design all the way down to the drapes and the cutlery, Natalie has a keen eye for creating a gorgeous yet comfortable/welcoming design. Everything she does is tasteful and creates that special atmosphere that makes a wedding so unforgettable and emotional. She will definitely help bring your vision to life, and if you're not really interested in coming up with a design element for your wedding or don't know much about it, just know that you're in amazing hands with Natalie. Lastly, I just want to comment on Natalie's work ethic and dedication. From the first call we had with her all the way to the end of the wedding, I could trust that Natalie and her team were doing EVERYTHING in their power to make our wedding weekend the most special few days possible. Natalie has a deep passion for the work she does, and she will work tirelessly to bring your vision to life. Our wedding day was easily one of the greatest days of our lives, and that was in large part due to Natalie and her team's amazing work and preparation. I highly recommend Natalie and The Faye Fern Creative team for wedding planning and creating the most unforgettable wedding for you and your partner!

I started in the wedding industry when I found bridal world in 2018. Building a career in bridal brought me back to Los Angeles from Seattle, back to family and into a world where I could immerse myself in all things bridal and weddings. I worked my way up as a stylist to the couture level, managing one of the flagship stores in LA and specializing in custom, one of a kind designs as a stylist. I learned more and more about weddings, and one day started day-of coordinating for friends and family. That grew to a passion and led to the birth of Serenity Weddings.

We hired Serenity Weddings for our wedding last year, and it was the best decision we made for the day. We opted for the month-of package. We knew that we wanted to design our wedding ourselves to make it unique to our love story, but that we didn't have time the month of the wedding to add all of the last minute coordinating between the vendors to our workload. Desiree met with us mid-planning process to do a walk-through of the venue and get an idea of what we had planned for our day. She gave tons of helpful tips and truly made sure that she understood our vision. The month of the wedding she coordinated between all the vendors to make sure that everything was covered. Thank goodness! Turns out we forgot to order bathrooms since we were at a house, even though we didn't want people going into the home. She saved the day and made sure that we got an extra generator from the rental company to supply the power. On the day of the wedding she arrived ahead of the first vendor and made sure that everything was perfect. And if it wasn't, we never knew! All of our family and friends got to enjoy our wedding with us, without having to worry about how everything was going, all thanks to Serenity Weddings. I also worked with Desiree for my bridal styling, choosing the Final Touches package. Finding my dress was easy, but the endless choices for everything else was daunting. She helped me choose the perfect hairstyle and makeup combo for my enchanted look, and the accessories she chose were just the right touch.

Kari is the highest of calibers and a consummate professional. The best decision we made throughout the entire wedding process. She helped my husband and me achieve the most perfect wedding - all in the most calm, composed, and creative way!

Cheers To Two did an outstanding job planning our wedding. We hired them for day-of coordination. Michelle and her team were a joy to work with - prompt, clear communication and always kind even when we were scatterbrained. They worked incredibly hard, taking on each challenge and last-minute request with enthusiasm especially considering the size of our venue. Michelle was assertive when she needed to be, also brought fun energy that kept our planning process feeling celebratory and exciting. On the big day, they coordinated everything seamlessly - even literally running back to our room in record time when we forgot our rings! After our first meeting with Cheers To Two we felt total peace of mind that our wedding was in good hands. The months of planning and the event itself went so smoothly we barely noticed behind-the-scenes logistics so we could be totally in the moment. Michelle and her assistants were present to handle any issue but never interrupted the joy of our special day. I can't overstate how grateful we are for Cheers To Two's outstanding service and highly recommend them to other couples! And lastly - the decor!!! They made our vision come to life GORGEOUSLY - I cried. After so many months imagining what it would look like, Michelle made the dream come to life. Pure magic! Let’s do it again!!!

Emily and her team are the reason that our day came together so beautifully (and why we could actually enjoy it and leave our stress behind!) Emily is professional, personable, and incredibly attentive to detail. We felt confident that she understood our vision for the wedding and would work tirelessly to make it a reality. Emily coordinated our wedding, which was very DIY with lots of handmade details and at a non-traditional wedding venue. I had obsessively planned myself for months, and she stepped in and took the reins allowing me to fully enjoy the wedding day. Emily's communication throughout the planning process was exceptional. She was always available to answer any questions I had... and talked me down when I was overwhelmed! She worked so well with our vendors and made sure that everything was organized and coordinated perfectly. She truly went above and beyond to make sure every aspect of our wedding day was executed flawlessly. On the day of the wedding, Emily and her team were amazing. They worked tirelessly to ensure that every detail was taken care of, from setting up the ceremony and reception spaces to making sure the timeline ran smoothly. Our very shy flower girl even warmed up immediately to Emily. She can work will with anyone and everyone! I really do think that it was thanks to Emily's hard work and expertise, our wedding day was absolutely perfect. We received countless compliments from our guests on how seamless and beautiful everything was. We are so grateful to have had Emily as our wedding coordinator and would highly recommend her and have to many friends and family since. We were so lucky to attend another Emily-coordinated wedding and I have to say, it was the best wedding we have been to (other than our own of course) so I know she brings her attention to detail to every wedding and every couples vision. THANK YOU EMILY!

We’re planners, designers, and boss babes. We combine our organizational skills with exuberant personalities to make wedding couples feel at ease with their planning process. Whether it be a day-of client or our full planning and design we make all of our clients feel as though they’re on the top of our priority list.

Planning our wedding bicoastally from NYC to Thousand Oaks was quite an adventure, made entirely possible thanks to XOXO Weddings. We spent two years planning virtually, and from our first meeting with Regan, we knew we had found the perfect fit. Warm, organized, and enthusiastic, Regan was an essential part of our planning process. We connected over our shared Leo energy, and she truly exceeded all our expectations. With the partial planning package including design elements, Regan created stunning mood boards that wowed our vendors and answered all my Type A questions with patience and precision. She was incredibly supportive throughout, making the planning process something we genuinely looked forward to. We loved our regular meetings and were genuinely sad when the process was over—not just because our wedding day had come to an end, but because it meant we wouldn't see her every other week. Our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives, and it was absolutely flawless. Regan handled any hiccups like a seasoned pro, and we received countless compliments from vendors and guests alike on how smoothly everything ran. She was so accommodating of our trickier requests, such as having our candy bar shipped from NYC to LA, and she was with us every step of the way—from site visits and tastings to the rehearsal and early on the wedding day. Her communication was impeccable, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Regan was the last person to leave, making sure we went home with all our cards, attire, leftover food, and even some flowers. If you're looking to hire a planner, we highly recommend XOXO Weddings and especially Regan. She is incredibly hard-working and puts in the effort to make sure everything is perfect.

Ebeling Events is an award-winning event planning team currently servicing Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, and Santa Barbara counties in California and the greater Phoenix area in Arizona. If you have an event outside those areas, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are based in Malibu, CA hosting many destination weddings, and are willing to travel beyond to plan and execute your perfect event. We love what we do and look forward to helping you have an amazing event, within your budget, that you get to enjoy yourself! Ebeling Events creator, Kim has been in the hospitality industry her whole working life. Carly is our lead event planner

Ebeling Events was an amazing partner for wedding planning and we recommend them to make your event smooth and stress-free. We signed up for a wedding package at Starling Hill (Audubon Center at Debs Park). We worked with Kim as our lead coordinator and also worked with Katie who was the associate lead and our day-of coordinator. It was easy to have a wedding package, so we didn’t have to seek out many separate wedding vendors and read tons of different contracts. We appreciated how the main essential event set-up was all in one place. Saved us so much time and energy working with these true professionals. They offered narrowed down options, which we really appreciated to save us from decision-fatigue, but if we had special upgrade requests, Kim and her team figured them out to allow for customization too. Kim was easy to reach and super helpful to handle any concerns with her many years of planning expertise. Her and her team were also fun to work with and super responsible and professional, so the actual wedding day was extremely low stress. The vendors Ebeling Events arranged for us as a part of our package were all amazing: florist, catering, bartenders, cake, DJ, lighting, rentals, decor, shuttle, and security. Kim was also an incredible resource for connecting us with outside vendors, as we hired our photographer and make-up artist from her list of recommendations and they were stellar, too. The Ebeling Events team is so talented at what they do. We were extremely impressed when watching Kim form the schedule for the day, and her ability to coach and wrangle the families at our rehearsal was legendary, too. We would have been lost and without Kim and her team. Thanks to Kim and Katie!

Dolores was phenonemal! We had an outdoor wedding reception, and the venue only supplied the tables. Dolores and her crew did an outstanding job in setting up our guest tables, favor tables, cake table, gift table, candy table, and sign in Jenga table. We also had additional favors such as fans, heal savers, dancing shoes (flip flops), pashminas, and she set everything out just as we had envisioned it. If something went wrong, we had the confidence in her to make a decision to fix it, and she did. As weddings go, not everything goes as planned. It was a windy day, and our tall floral centerpieces were tipping over. She sent one of her team to go buy decorative rocks to hopefully stabilize the arrangements, but that didn't work. She then made a decision and rearranged the floral set up and it turned out beautifully. She did an exceptional job in coordinating with the other vendors, and our wedding reception turned out just as we dreamed of thanks to Dolores and her team. She's very easy to work with, she's fun, diligent in her work and when we have another big event, we are definitely hiring her again.

It is always an honor, privilege, and joy to be a part of your wedding day!

"It was a pleasure working with Toni! She is such a sweetheart and treated me like a friend. She went above and beyond what I was looking for. Toni was very organized and had a lot of different ideas and suggestions to fill the missing pieces when I felt lost. At the start of my wedding planning process, I was very overwhelmed but Toni’s monthly meetings made things run smoothly. Toni went beyond my expectations of my vision board for my decorations. She took note of all the little details that I wanted. My wedding turned out just as I imagined it and went very smoothly thanks to Toni. Also on top of what Toni did, she did an amazing job while being pregnant. Thank you so much to Toni and her team." -Kathy

A warn hello to you all!! I am Nicole Dwyer, Owner and Lead Planner here at PDE. My journey in the event planning industry started in 2013. There is little I love more than executing seamless events and weddings, and yes, I still often cry when I send a bride or groom down the aisle (just a tear or two, I promise). What I love most about my job is that I’m able to express myself creatively. I love drawing inspiration from our clients’ lives – work, hobbies, favorite places, etc. – and collaborating with them to create a meaningful design that is also beautiful.

My now wife and I interviewed many planners and Nicole was by far the best. Our main goal was to find someone reliable since we planned our LA wedding from out of state. Nicole is super honest and down to earth. She responded to all our messages quickly. Very professional and at the wedding, didn't go unnotice how she helped other vendors. We recommend PDE.
