Best wedding planner
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. Thank you Michelle and to the team for allowing my wife and I to enjoy our special day. I would trust your work with my family and friends.

Where to begin?! We started planning with Michelle back in January 2023, which gave us a year and a half to plan the wedding of our dreams. From the get go, Michelle was incredibly helpful. I wasn’t sure if I should book a venue first or a planner first, but I’ll be forever grateful we booked Michelle first because she helped us search for venues and even went on the tours with us. After that she helped recommend vendors, helped create a cohesive vision and kept us on schedule. There’s no way we would’ve been able to plan such an incredible wedding without her. Fast forward to wedding day - everything went perfectly (and if there were any hiccups I didn’t know about them!) I’ve never seen a wedding run so smoothly, and on top of everything she made sure to help calm the wedding day nerves, which truly meant a lot to me. We’ll be forever grateful for everything that Michelle did for us, we love her!!!
Michelle will steer you to the promise land
Working with Michelle was the best decision we made for our wedding. From the moment we met her, it was clear she was deeply invested in making our day exactly what we envisioned—and she delivered beyond our expectations. Michelle worked with us tirelessly, right up until the very last day, to ensure every demand was met. We had guests decline or RSVP at the last minute, which could have easily caused chaos, but Michelle handled everything seamlessly. She worked with the venue to make sure every change was accommodated without a hitch. On the day of our wedding, everything went perfectly. When I say perfect, I mean it was flawless. Not a single thing went out of plan—or at least, if there were any issues, we were blissfully unaware because Michelle had it all under control. She even thought of the little details that we didn’t know we needed, making our day even more special. What stood out the most was how much Michelle cared about us. Throughout the entire process, she made sure we felt comfortable and confident, even during moments of uncertainty. Her patience and dedication were unwavering, and it was clear that she wasn’t just planning another event—she was crafting the day of our dreams. We’ve had multiple friends tell us that our wedding was the most fun wedding they’ve ever attended, and we owe that to Michelle and her incredible team. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who will make your day unforgettable, look no further than Michelle. She truly made our dream wedding a reality.
How to pick the perfect wedding planner
Planning your son and future daughter-in-law's wedding is exciting and sometimes overwhelming. You want it to be perfect for the bride and the groom. You want the guests to have a wonderful time. To accomplish this without any mistakes, I hired a wedding planner. How to find the right planner can be stressful. You want someone who listens, is organized, has great resources, and is fun to work with. I thankfully found Michelle Tu, Somni Events, through the recommendation of our wedding venue, the Bel Air Bay Club, and she is all of those things. Michelle is everything you could want in a planner. She is not only organized, but she keeps you on track as well. I thought it would be tricky with the bride and groom in New York and the wedding in Los Angeles. But Michelle made it easy—Coast to Coast Zoom planning meetings and design meetings. She gave us great options for florists, videographers, photographers, hair and makeup artists, etc. Michelle uses a platform to make it easy to upload guest lists, keep track of those who are attending, create table seating with ease, and a timeline for us to make sure we have completed things such as when to get the marriage license and when to order the wedding invitations, as well as when each payment is due for each vendor. She also handles all the contracts for the vendors. On the day of the wedding, Michelle and her staff make sure the wedding ceremony and the event run smoothly. She allows the bride and groom and their families to enjoy the event without any worries about any of the details. I could not have had such a wonderful time at our son’s wedding, without Michelle. The bride and groom could not have been happier.
