Awarded Best of Zola
We had the most beautiful intimate backyard wedding thanks to LOM Productions. It truly turned out more beautiful than we could’ve ever imagined. Every step of the wedding process was not only easy because they gave such great guidance but it was also fun! I hear so many horror stories about brides not being able to enjoy their engagement due to the wedding stress, but with LOM there really emphasized the importance of enjoying the entire wedding experience. They paid attention to all those little details for me and because of it our wedding turned out so beautifully. I cannot recommend thank them enough for not only a wonderful night but over all experience.

Brenda and her team were so helpful and made sure our day was perfect! She was quick to respond on any questions we had and was always willing to help via call or email. Choosing vendors is never an easy task, but with Brenda’s help and wonderful advice choosing all our vendors was totally achievable. We knew nothing about wedding planning or where to even start, but with deadlines that Brenda gave us and timelines everything seemed to go together and planning a wedding actually made sense. Everyone who was able to attend our wedding has said it was “one of the best weddings ever” and they loved how everything was setup, and none of that would’ve been done without the Gathering for Goods team. Our wedding was the most memorable, relaxing, and enjoyable experience for us and many of our family and friends as well! Without Brenda and her team we would’ve been much more stressed and lost. There isn’t a thing we would’ve changed about our wedding, Brenda you’re an amazing wedding coordinator.

Angie, you were absolutely incredible to work with. We had a wonderful time partnering with Angie to create our dream wedding. She was recommended to us by our venue, The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, and we are so happy we chose her! Angie has such a positive personality, always kept everything under control, and never let us feel overwhelmed. It was so smooth at times we wondered what we were forgetting, and Angie always reassured us that we had it all covered. She did it ALL - from getting our vendor rates and availability sorted to showing us all our options and details that made the day come to life. Through our regularly scheduled calls and all the messaging in between, she asked all the right questions to help guide the process, (even for things we hadn't even thought about) and was always available for the one-off questions and to keep us sane, especially during those final two critical months before the big day. Angie also has a wonderful website that organized all our to-do lists, inspo pics, budget info, timelines, vendor details, etc. We didn’t realize how essential something like this was for keeping us on track, and it was little extra details like this that made such a difference. It's because of Angie that we had such wonderful vendors, a significantly less painful planning experience, and a flawlessly executed wedding day!

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.

Her expertise with wedding planning & coordination made us feel very confident going into our big day.

From countless Zoom calls to meeting up in person to select flowers, it was more than we could have asked for and were expecting. Her professionalism and creativity showed through when we had to improvise our outdoor ceremony to an indoor one thanks to a horrific tropical storm. She called us on the morning of our wedding to ensure we were doing okay and went over every detail with both my husband and me to make sure she and her team didn't miss anything. We cannot wait to work with Teyanna again in the future.

Awarded Best of Zola
After booking my wedding venue early this year, I found Serene Events and Design on my venue coordinator's recommended vendor list, which led me to Korina. Right from the start, she responded so promptly and professionally that I was genuinely impressed by how on top of everything she was. Since I didn't grow up in the U.S., planning a Western-style wedding felt unfamiliar and overwhelming. I had my own ideas and vision but wasn't sure how to bring them to life. Korina was the only planner I reached out to, and I felt so lucky she was available. It really felt like fate to have found such a dependable and supportive planner. From the beginning, I felt completely overwhelmed, but Korina's guidance, timelines, monthly to-do lists, and vendor recommendations helped me get on track. Balancing work, life, and wedding planning was not easy, but Korina's support made it all so much more manageable. I knew early on that I wanted to share my experience so that future brides could find and trust her just like I did. After reading her reviews and seeing photos of her work, I knew Korina was the one. What stood out most was how Korina respected my personal style and was willing to coordinate many design and planning elements to match my vision. She made me feel heard every step of the way and went out of her way to ensure that each detail - from table linens and napkin colors to dinnerware - aligned perfectly with what I imagined. You can tell she genuinely cares about her brides and takes pride in making each wedding unique and true to the couple. On the wedding day, Korina and her assistant, Eileen, were amazing. Their attention to detail and commitment to making everything run smoothly meant I did not have to worry about a thing. I am someone who easily gets anxious and caught up in the details, but with Korina and Eileen, I was able to relax and fully enjoy every moment with my husband, family and friends. After the wedding, Korina and Eileen handled the packing and cleanup so efficiently, it was impressive. Thanks to Korina, my wedding day was beautiful, stress-free, and exactly what I had dreamed of. I am grateful to Korina, Eileen, and the entire team for everything they did to make it all come together. Thank you, Korina, for making my dream wedding a reality!

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.

Where do I even begin? Hiring Angela to help coordinate our wedding was THE BEST decision we made. Our wedding was on the smaller side -- we only invited 65 people -- and when we first started planning, we questioned if we even needed a coordinator, but oh my god we absolutely did and I'm so happy we had Angela's support. From our first call with her, we knew we wanted to hire her. She is so kind, sweet and attentive. She saw our vision and was immediately on board. We hired her for month of coordination which was the perfect amount of support. Leading up to the wedding, she was so helpful in coordinating all of our vendor communication, and I'm sure she did work behind the scenes that I'm not even aware of just to make sure everything was going to plan. She was so upbeat and organized at our wedding rehearsal. Our wedding party kept commenting on how awesome she was. We ran into a few vendor issues days before our wedding, including the hotel where our wedding room block was trying to charge us a hefty 1,000 fee just to take a few photos on their property and our reception venue doing last minute construction. Both situations could have been extremely stressful, but Angela handled them like a pro and jumped in to make sure everything was taken care of for us. We held our wedding at the Santa Barbara Courthouse and my biggest concern was always rain since it is an outdoor space. Luckily, it didn’t rain, but I never in a million years would have imagined that I should have been concerned about an entire high school prom showing up to take their prom photos at the exact same time as our wedding ceremony. Thankfully we had Angela and her team on site to make sure the prom was moved as far away from our space as possible! She is seriously a wonder — and shoutout to Brandon on her team who is also fantastic! Do yourself a favor and hire Angela! You won’t regret it. Thank you so much again, Angela! You’re the best and we sincerely appreciate you!

My wedding was incredible thanks to Ray and Brandi. I hired them for the month-of-coordination and for the day of. Highly recommend, Brandi took the time to get to know my vision for my wedding day, before setting me up with Ray as our coordinator. Couldn’t be happier with how our wedding went!

Alexis’ Cheers Event Company is one of the greatest coordinator and planning services we ever encountered. She made us feel comfortable that we didn’t have to worry about anything the day of the wedding. We ended up doing the Month of Coordination, and even though that left most of the planning and creation up to us; Alexis was always a phone call away if we ever needed advice or referrals. The day of the wedding, she made our vision come to life and it was nice that she took control of contacting vendors for delivery and coordination. We would definitely hire Alexis and her crew again for other events in our lives. Thank you for making our vision come to life!

Working with Erin Avery (The VenList) was more than a dream - she is a dream maker, fantasy creator, and one of the most organized people we’ve ever worked with. There honestly aren't words that capture the depth of our appreciation for her work. She took us through the whole journey as our virtual planner, guided us through the panic moments, saw the potential in our vision, and as our Day-Of Coordinator ensured we have the most magical wedding we could have ever dreamed up. She respected our budget, never wanted us to compromise on our vision, found vendors who could bring that vision to life, and made us feel like family the entire experience. Erin brings a profound attention to detail, care for us as a couple, calming spirit, and gentle smile to every person she interacts with. She wants you to have your day go smoothly, as stress free as possible, and makes sure that everything is organized, found, and done correctly. We couldn't have asked for a better person to walk us forward into married life, keeping track of every nuance, contacting every vendor, and protecting our time as we approached the biggest and happiest day of our lives. Erin is truly the best and a master at her craft. If you’re considering working with her, that very first meeting you will feel the beautiful energy and excitement she shares for what matters most to you - and she’ll make sure that your day is one you’ll never forget.

WHERE do I begin!? My mom and I thought we could plan my wedding ourselves but we quickly realized we needed help and that is where Kari came in. We met with a few other planners who we were not loving before meeting with Kari and we were immediately drawn in to her warm, calming and wonderful nature. She is queen and I mean QUEEN planner and our wedding weekend was 10/10 perfect all around solely because of her and her team. Kari made wedding planning...which can be so stressful and overwhelming, feel so easy, manageable and FUN. My family, fiancee and I felt so taken care of and safe in her hands I cannot begin to describe how important it was to not worry AT ALL wedding weekend because Kari had it on lock. She was such a calm presence in the wedding weekend frenzy that I was so grateful for. She was always there to answer my millions of questions and made us feel seen, heard and understood. She took our vision and made it come to life, working with our vendors to ensure our weekend was everything we wanted. Your wedding planner is THE most important person on your wedding weekend (besides your S.O. heheh) so you want someone wonderful, kind hearted, fun, present, organized, calm and someone who just gets it...and that's Kari!!! PLEASE do not hesitate booking her...she is truly a dream come true. OH and she did it all 6 MONTHS PREGNANT. Can someone say superwoman!!?!?!

I first heard about Abibi Bridal when I was assisting my best friend CakedbyMel assemble a wedding cake in New Hampshire in September 2023. Mind you, I was visiting my best friend in Boston for the weekend because it was her birthday. I live in New York, so I took a flight to Boston to spend time with her. My friend was hired to construct the wedding cake by Abibi Bridal because Abibi Bridal was booked as the wedding planner for the wedding. I was observing how Abbe was working with the vendors and the wedding party, and I was instantly impressed. I walked up to Abbe and told her; I am getting married next year, and I am going to book you to plan my wedding. Abbe said of course! I set up my consultation with Abbe and I booked her for her wedding coordination services immediately. I just knew Abbe and her team would execute. From when I booked Abibi Bridal at the beginning of October 2023, up until the day of the wedding, April 25, 2024, Abbe has been a blessing when it came to planning my wedding. Even though she was booked for wedding coordination, Abbe was so helpful, knowledgeable, patient, kind, and just overall amazing throughout the entire process. She knew exactly what vendors would work great with the vision I had. Abbe knows all the best vendors and has great relationships with so many amazing vendors, that you know the vendors will execute not only because they are dedicated to their craft, because of their relationship with Abbe and Abibi Bridal. Now let’s fast forward to the day before the wedding, Abbe and her team came down from Boston, and from the moment Abbe and her team arrived until the end of the wedding the following day, Abbe and her team were all hands on deck! When I say the level of professionalism Abbe and her team had is unmatched compared to other wedding planning teams I heard about. She was a shield from all the stress, questions, unsolicited advice, and energy that was heading my way. Words honestly cannot describe what Abbe and her team did for my wedding. She made everything so seamless and special. My advice to every upcoming bride is to book a wedding planner or wedding coordination because it will make the wedding planning process go so smoothly. I strongly recommend booking Abibi Bridal because everyone deserves a piece of mind when it comes to wedding planning, and that is what you will get when you book with them. I do not only consider Abbe as my wedding planner, I consider her my friend and family because what she did for me and my wedding, I will never forget. Those memories will forever be cherished.

She was totally on top of our wedding needs and it was clear this isn't just a job to her. She really cares about making your special day as perfect as it could possibly be! She showed us time and time again she was willing to go above and beyond to do what it takes to not only make our wedding beautiful and meaningful, but also allowed us to walk down the aisle completely stress free. We got the pleasure of working with Niamh outside of our package time frame via email and she was there to help us every step of the way to our happily ever after.

The best thing about working with Niamh was having a peaceful morning while she put everything into place before we arrived. This time was a gift for everyone, where we got to fill our hearts with joy and shine that happiness onto any one we saw that day. What you really want in a wedding planner is someone with a heart of gold, and that's what sets Niamh with Sweetie Pie Weddings apart from the other gifted wedding planners.

I cried a few days before my wedding because remembering all the months prior, they were there for me every step of the way. And on the day, everyone kept asking me, Is your planner a friend of yours? I honestly told them, 100% yes. :) Because I feel like we now are friends. Such a family orientated company.
