I cannot recommend Love & Laughter Weddings highly enough, especially Evelyn and her phenomenal team. From the moment we started our wedding planning journey, Evelyn's kindness, guidance and unwavering support made every step a happy experience. Planning has never been my forte and I overwhelm easily when decisions need to be made, but her gentle guidance throughout the months of planning alleviated any stress I had, and her attention to detail ensured that every corner of our special day was nothing short of perfect. From coordinating vendors to orchestrating the flow of events seamlessly, they allowed us to fully enjoy ourselves in the moment without a worry in the world. Our guests were also so happy saying on multiple occasions it was the best wedding they had ever been to. One of the extra cherished highlights of our day was the ceremony where Evelyn also took the role as our officiant. Her heartfelt words and genuine warmth created an atmosphere that exceeded our wildest dreams and had everyone crying. We also had live music for ceremony and cocktail hour provided by Aspen Strings which really added that elegant touch we had always envisioned. In short, Love & Laughter Weddings not only met but surpassed every expectation we had for our wedding day. Their passion for creating heartfelt unforgettable moments was present through in every detail, making our wedding a cherished memory that we will treasure forever.

Our entire wedding planning process was so smooth with her. She was nothing but professional, punctual , and ahead of the game. Anytime we had a question, she had the answer. She was prepared with things we hadn't even thought about! She took over all communication with our vendors and made sure that all parties involved had everything they needed for the day of. When the wedding day came, I didn't have a stress in the world. I was so calm, excited, and not one bit stressed. I knew that Morgan had everything under control and that if something came up, she would handle it no questions asked and in the way that I would have wanted. Our wedding day went so smoothly, our timeline was perfect, and it was the most amazing day thanks to Morgan.

Awarded Best of Zola
After wrapping up our wedding, it became clear that it could never have happened without Savvy Weddings. I highly recommend Sandra and her team. When we were looking for help with wedding planning, we wanted a planner who could make our backyard wedding everything we imagined. Since we didn’t have a real “venue,” we had to bring in everything. This overwhelming task felt completely achievable with Sandra's help. Sandra is extremely hardworking and dedicated to making your day the most special and perfect event. Despite only having her partial services, Sandra met with us over ten times and drove to our venue site countless times to reassure us that everything would work out as we imagined. She even brought in extra team members for the complicated task of flipping our ceremony venue into a dinner reception. She attended our tastings with us and advocated on our behalf’s when we had decision fatigue with numerous vendors. Believe me when I say, we would never have been able to plan this event without Sandra’s help. Her expertise in helping us hand-pick every vendor, nail down a super complicated timeline, and ensure we didn’t get overwhelmed in the process was crucial to our Wedding. I have never worked with someone as great as her before! I couldn’t recommend her enough and am so thrilled with how my wedding turned out. We will miss working with Sandra so much! Thank you so so much Sandra and the Savvy weddings team!

Welcome to Valley Decors, your go-to destination for all your event planning and coordination needs! We are delighted to introduce you to our dedicated team led by Grace, our experienced event planner extraordinaire. Grace and her team are passionate about creating memorable events that leave a lasting impression.

Valley Decors provided good communication throughout the planning process, though we felt communication could have been better on the day of the event. However, they still did an excellent job overall. The team at Valley Decors set up the event flawlessly for our 350 guests - everything came out perfect. They have a great team that works well together. The only downside was that they picked up rented items like the table runner and napkins before the night was over, which I didn't appreciate, though I understand they needed to collect plates and glassware. Despite this, Grace and Travis were a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond, even stepping in when one of our other vendors fell short on tables and linens. They provided amazing rentals and were able to quickly deliver extra tables and freshly ironed linens with less than 24 hours notice. Although there were a few minor hiccups on our wedding day that were out of their control, Grace and Travis provided an exceptional setup and coordination for our event.

Calder's Creations was an absolute dream to work with as our wedding planners. From the very beginning, their communication style was responsive, honest, and nurturing - we felt as if we were the only couple Natalie worked with throughout our entire planning process, as she was so dedicated to us and our special day. The quality of her work and value was truly remarkable, exceeding our expectations at every turn. She took care of all the setup and breakdown, and provided us with a convenient cash payment system that removed the worry of paying vendors on the day of. Natalie went the extra mile to ensure our wedding day was perfect, and we never felt like just one of the bunch, they were there every step of the way. We are forever grateful for her exceptional service and attention to detail, we couldn’t have planned our wedding without her!

Working with the Oso team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We actually hired them about 2 years in advance, so we got to work with them for a super long time! One of the biggest reasons that we wanted to hire Oso specifically was because of their decor inventory, which was 100% available to use at no additional cost with their full wedding planning package. Weddings can be extremely wasteful in terms of decor, so it was nice to be able to consciously be a bit more sustainable! We honestly ended up hiring Oso for so many other services as well — Michelle did an amazing job with our signage, they also have a great photobooth package, and Michelle’s sister owns Bobaholics so we were able to get a discounted rate for a boba bar! It really felt like a one-stop shop :) Michelle, Gen, Raymundo, and Gennie were all so helpful in coordinating with vendors and giving us wedding advice/guidance - working with them also gave us confidence that we weren’t missing any important steps or details of wedding planning. They were also available by text/email anytime, and they always responded extremely quickly, which I so appreciated! Talking to them felt more like talking to friends who were super passionate about wedding planning! On the actual day of the wedding, my husband and I felt so stress-free because of Oso - they seamlessly guided everyone to stay on schedule, had walkie talkies to communicate with each other, and constantly asked us if we needed any food/water/etc. They took care of passing out our vendor tips, and set up all of our decor with time to spare! When people ask us for wedding planning advice, we always say that hiring a planner was the best decision we made - specifically Oso Events! They are truly the best at what they do :) We could not be more grateful to them!

Hi! I'm Brooklyn - the owner! I'm 22 years old & happily married to my best friend, Michael. Traveling is a huge part of our lives, WDW is our happy place, & our next adventure is never far away.

I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing couples & vendors in several states. I even spent time in FL working closely with one of the world's leading entertainment companies bringing hundreds of fairytale weddings & events to life. Now, I'm making magic of my own!

I recently had the pleasure of having Brooklyn as the officiant of my wedding and I am so glad I went with her! She made the process as simple as possible, was super easy to work with, was always open to communication and returned correspondence in a more than timely manner. Simply put, everything I needed!

Team Yellow Rose truly brought our vision to life. From our initial consultation, I knew that Isabel and I were on the same page. Isabel was creative with different ways to maintain our budget. She went above and beyond by MAKING CANDLES in the exact shade I wanted when we could not find any. Though we did not meet in person often, she was always a quick text or call away which we really valued. I can't thank this team enough for making our dream wedding a reality.

Michele was our full wedding planner. Our wedding went perfect without a single hitch and it was all thanks to Michele. We had the caterer for our rehearsal dinner drop out one week before the event and Michele found us a replacement within an hour; and the replacement caterer was a slam dunk. Everyone loved the food. On the day of the wedding and rehearsal dinner Michele and Dan did everything. And I mean everything. She set up tables, positioned flowers and welcome signs and seating charts. She ironed over disagreements with vendors and never once did we have to lift a finger. It is a common saying that the bride and groom never enjoy their own wedding but we thoroughly had a blast at ours thanks to Michele. She is forever our go-to recommendation to all our friends getting married. If she has availability to plan your wedding, book her.

Hello 💫 I wanted to a minute to introduce myself, My name is Lisa, I’m a wife & mama, and I’ve finally decided to take a passion of mine & turn it into a career. For 10 years coordinating events had been a hobby, and I’ve had the honor of being part of so many beautiful days. Now, I can’t wait to be part of YOUR most important days 🤍 We take care of your small details so you can enjoy your big day!

Events by Lisa was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! Her communication was 10/10 - Lisa was so easy to reach out to and the connection was definitely there. The quality of their work and value was unmatched, as Lisa went above and beyond. She thought everything through and even when little things went wrong, she took care of them so quickly without worrying me or anyone else. For example, Lisa made sure to call all the vendors ahead of time to confirm, and turns out one vendor had the dates mixed up, but she got that figured out on the wedding day without even telling us so we wouldn't worry. She also had extra makeup on hand which was so helpful for touch-ups throughout the day. I think everyone needs to invest in a day-of coordinator, and Lisa was such a life-saver - I can't imagine how bumpy our day would have been if she wasn't there!

I can honestly say that Ali was our wedding-planning superhero! When we first started planning our wedding, I wasn’t even considering hiring a wedding planner since our venue came with a coordinator. However, looking back now, I truly have no idea how we would have pulled off our wedding without Ali. She was absolutely indispensable! I did most of the vendor research and design planning on my own, and while that was manageable, Ali’s services took the entire experience to the next level. She was a lifesaver when it came to the logistics. She kept me organized, helped me stay on track, and made sure I was realistic about what could be done within my vision and budget. Even when the process got overwhelming, Ali was there, ensuring I didn’t get lost in the details or stray too far from my goals. On the wedding day itself, Ali truly shined. From what I was told, there were a few hiccups throughout the day (which is inevitable with any event of this scale), but I never had to worry about a thing. Ali quietly and efficiently handled everything behind the scenes, ensuring that I wasn’t aware of any issues and always had a solution in place before I even knew there was a problem. Thanks to her, I was able to relax and enjoy every moment of our special day without stress. If you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, I can wholeheartedly recommend Ali. She made all the difference for us, and I’ll forever be grateful for her dedication, expertise, and calm presence. She is an absolute gem!

Serving San Diego, LA, Palm Springs, Orange County & beyond. Our goal is to relieve your wedding planning stress, allowing you to savor the months leading up to your momentous day. Let us create a seamless and unforgettable experience for you!

We cannot recommend Jackie enough! Jackie was essential in our wedding planning and coordination. She was extremely responsive, organized and proactive. If you are planning your first (and hopefully last!) wedding, go with Jackie. She has the experience, knows what she is talking about, has a great vendor list, knows what to expect and most importantly is an excellent problem solver. I felt like we were in good hands the entire time. She guided myself and my partner though logistics for the wedding day and then on the wedding day, she was proactive, did an excellent job wrangling our guests and bridal party. When the weather didn't cooperate, she took charge and helped keep things moving smoothly for us and our guests. Jackie also had excellent vendor recommendations, many of which we ended up going well and we are so happy we did. As a gay couple, it was also really important for us to partner with someone that was excited about planning a gay wedding and Jackie was not only enthusiastic but understood our vision and contributed great ideas. Our wedding reception venue was pretty unique and Jackie didn't bat an eye, she understood our vision perfectly and embraced it. I could do on, but I hope you read this and contact Jackie yourself!!

As a fellow event professional in Las Vegas & California, it's always great to see a new crop of young & talented vendors make their way into the industry. With Taylor & TayCheney Events, she brings a certain energy that I believe connects more with the bride & grooms of today. She has a pulse on pop culture, event trends, and connects with couples & vendors alike in a way that "she just gets it." As someone to collaborate on events with, she was attentive to some our quirks as a DJ & MC, and always made sure to follow-up / check-in with us on timelines in case some deets may have slipped by (hey, DJs have weird schedules lol) We've worked in multiple cities, and alongside my roster of DJs, and Taylor just continues to crush it. TayCheney Events is an amazing planner and I can't wait to see (and be a part of) her future productions. Would recommend her to any couple / client ten times over!
