ended—and she truly exceeded our expectations!
From the start, Monique was exceptionally kind, organized, thoughtful, and efficient. During our first meeting, she listened carefully to our design ideas and helped us create a vision for our wedding, which she brought to life beautifully. Her attention to detail was unparalleled, and she meticulously planned every aspect to ensure our wedding day ran seamlessly (and it absolutely did!).
Monique went above and beyond by coordinating with our vendors, communicating with them (and us) promptly and professionally. Her organization transformed what could have been a stressful process into such an enjoyable experience for me as the bride.
I cannot thank Monique enough for her incredible work—she’s not only an amazing wedding consultant but also a truly wonderful person, and it was an honor getting to work with her. I highly recommend A Signature Wedding to anyone who is getting married.

From the very beginning she demonstrated professionalism...

She listened attentively to the ideas of my daughter and son-in law and paid attention to everything that needed to be done . Her organizational skills and being on top of all the details, and their ability to handle unexpected challenges with grace and efficiency, made for a stress-free wedding day. I really feel there was nothing of the day we would of changed. It was truly a magical and memorable day. Thank you and I would highly recommend Monique

Monique and her team did such an amazing job for us. We planned a wedding in southern California from out of state on a very short timeline, about 4 months. Her organization, profe...
ssionalism, familiarity with venues and vendors made everything so easy and stress free. It all came together seamlessly with her help, despite me only having time for one in-person visit before the wedding. She did a great job of understanding my vision based on pictures I sent and our discussions. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and truly perfect in every way! Cannot recommend her highly enough!!

Hiring A Signature Wedding was the best decision we ever made for our wedding. Monique impressed us from the moment she came to my parent's house with her professionalism and forma...
l presentation. She helped guide us throughout the process in finding the perfect vendors, making the best decisions, and always making us feel comfortable in being honest in what we liked and disliked. She worked with us through design, timelines, and big and little decisions. Monique is always calm and adapts well to every situation. Even the things that may have gone unnoticed by others or were unseen to the guests meant a TON to me. If there were any problems, Monique was always there to help solve them. She has the perfect temperament for a wedding planner and I am SO grateful we chose her. Not to mention all the many ways she went above and beyond (reminding us to work on our marriage license, when to purchase our rings etc.). All of the little details in addition to the big wedding day details were beyond helpful for us to achieve what we did. Monique brought the vision of our wedding alive and it was exactly how we had hoped—elegant, classy and formal. I would give her more than 5 stars if possible!
My sister hired Monique for her wedding a few years ago, and I knew when we got engaged that Monique was the right pick for us. Monique was an absolute pleasure to work with. She i...
s also a rockstar. We chose the partial planning package and it was completely worth it. She helped us find a few of our vendors that were missing and they did not disappoint. She made sure we stayed on track in the planning process.
On the wedding day, her and her two assistants were amazing. We were right on time with everything on the day of. Her assistant who followed us around was so attentive and got us whatever we needed. I appreciate all of their work to make our day go without a hitch!
We had one complaint for one of our vendors post wedding and she still communicated with the vendor on our behalf and came to a resolution.
I HIGHLY recommend hiring Monique. She will make the planning process less stressful and your wedding day seamless.
Monique was absolutely the best throughout our wedding planning process! She was always on top of it, even though we had SO many tiny and personal details for our large, 200+ perso...
n wedding in Palos Verdes, CA. She planned several virtual and in-person meetings, and met us during all our vendor meetings as well! Monique made the wedding planning process seamless, I wasn't stressed at all!
On the actual day of the wedding, Monique and her team were professional and had an amazing communication system throughout the entire 12+ hour day. Her assistants were friendly & were there to help during every moment our special day! We received so many wonderful comments on how amazing and beautiful our wedding was, and it was all made possible because of Monique! Our wedding day vision would not have been met without her. I would recommend A Signature Wedding to any bride in the Southern California area.

out absolutely amazing and what we invisioned our wedding day to be like! The day was magical because of you. We have received the best comments in the highest regards. We truly appreciate you and your professionalism. The wedding was perfect with your eye on every detail. We couldn't be more pleased, satisfied, blessed, and happy to have chosen you to help streamline our wedding from beginning to the end. Thank you so much for going above and beyond to make sure our wedding at Terranea Resort went as planned and to fruition on Sunday, November 21, 2021.
Thank you for your patience and positive attitude while planning all the details and rescheduling several times through the pandemic. You are more than just a wedding planner to us. You are an angel. We will always think of you as family with our arms wide open full of gratitude.
Love Always and Forever with Gratitude and Appreciation,
Michelle and Victor Henriquez
Monique did an incredible job helping me navigate my wedding plans during the pandemic. Even with 2 venue changes, date changes, guest count changes, she handled everything with so...
much grace. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a planner who is dedicated, organized, passionate and very knowledgeable. During all of the uncertainty last year, she was so positive and constantly cheering me up through all of changes. I am so grateful to have connected with her, she was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
Thank you so much Monique!!
Loved working with Monique at A Signature Wedding on all the details throughout the wedding planning process. She was always professional, responsive, dependable and attentive to ...
all our needs regarding the wedding day. She and her staff executed a magical day that will forever be in our hearts - A Signature Wedding is well worth every dime - wish I could do it again ❣️❣️❣️
I would highly recommend A Signature Wedding.Monique is absolutely the best wedding coordinator you could ask for. Both my brother and sister had used A Signature Wedding for their...
special days over 15 years ago. When I started planning my wedding I immediately thought about Monique. I remembered from their weddings how prepared and organized she was. Both my sister and sister-in-law highly recommended her as well.
We hired A Signature Wedding for our Day of Coordinator for our wedding at the Ocean Institute in Dana Point, CA. She was way more than our Day of Coordinator. Monique met with me over the phone multiple times to check in and help with Vendors. She contacted our vendors multiple times to check in and support them with any questions that they had. She worked closely with our venue to answer questions and to schedule a walk through with our vendors.
On our rehearsal day, she was there to walk our wedding party and families through the wedding reception. She had a planned out timeline of each step of the day. She allowed our wedding party and families to be prepared for the day.
Our wedding day was absolutely perfect! This was all thanks to the talented and organized work of Monique and her assistant. If anything did go wrong on our day, I had no idea on the day off and still don’t today. She made the day absolutely relaxing and fun! I highly recommend hiring A Signature Wedding for your special day!
I can't say enough positive things about Monique and A Signature Wedding. We would not have had the amazing day we did for my daughter's wedding without her. What was supposed to...
be a "month of "planning with Monique turned into a 2 year journey through the challenges of the pandemic. She was able to help us through all the waiting, changes, delays, and nerves with calm assurance that it would come together and be an amazing day. She relieved so much of the burden with trying to navigate everything in the new and ever changing reality of the pandemic. She was professional and covered every detail, she stayed informed and shared her information promptly and with kindness and understanding of our concerns of how things would come together. She absolutely made the day happen. We did not have a single thing to worry about the day of the celebration and it was truly a special day. I would absolutely recommend her and her team for any celebration.
It is hard to put into words the amount of love and gratitude we feel for Monique and her team! We first met when she was my sisters coordinator for her wedding and baby shower, ev...
ery guest at that wedding was blown away by how much fun, seamless, and beautiful every moment/every detail was during their special day. Multiple people ended up hiring her for their weddings, and I knew that I would be honored and so grateful to have her as my planner one day as well.
After my husband and I got engaged, she was one of the first people we called to start the planning process. She put our minds at ease when she said she could help plan the wedding of our dreams in less then 10 months. I was blown away from start to finish by her level of expertise, vendor referrals, attention to every single detail and the constant excitement she gave to us during the planning process. She guided us every step of the way and made us feel confident and comfortable with choosing vendors/keeping us on track with the our budget.
Monique was the angel who took every pin from pinterest, saved photo/video on instagram, earmarked pages from bridal magazines, dreams I had as a little girl, my husband's inspiration, and she magically brought it all together to honor our love and set the stage for our future. Our biggest vision was to try and plan a day that our friends and family would never forget. We were so touched by all the love we had received during our relationship/engagement and we wanted our guests to know and truly feel that on our wedding day. Monique is without a doubt the reason those dreams came true, our visions came to life, and memories are forever engrained in our hearts. This review comes with all of the sincerity I have to give praise to someone as special as Monique. I want to wish all of the beautiful couples reading this so much love and excitement during this special time in their lives! I know Monique will be your guiding light and will provide you with the gifts she whole heartedly gave to us.
Monique and her team did an incredible job for our September wedding in Palos Verdes! She was incredibly helpful from day one, throughout the entire planning process for our weddin...
g. Her organizational skills and attention to detail was unbelievable, as a former event planner myself I was blown away my Monique! She was familiar with my venue and was extremely helpful in suggesting certain things, table placements, stations for coffee and dessert and made me feel like we had been friends for years! A Signature Wedding team executed our big day flawlessly, even with my large 20 person wedding party (not an easy task!!) I cannot imagine trying to coordinate all the moving parts that went into our special day with out Monique and her team. I highly recommend hiring her for your upcoming wedding, you will not regret it. Thanks again A Signature Wedding, we love you guys!!
I was only looking for a wedding planner for the month of our wedding, but that changed when I first spoke with Monique. She started planning and asking questions about our vision...
for the wedding from our first call. We discussed a lot of things that I haven't even thought of myself. She was professional, straight forward, but also friendly. We had a lot of wonderful vendors, but picking Monique & team was the best decision we made. We ended up hiring her for our "Welcome Reception" party as well.
It was difficult to plan a wedding from out of state so I relied on her referrals and expertise. Based on our requests, she would send vendor recommendations and I would choose who I wanted to meet with. She lined up all of our meetings when I came to town and would go with me to meet the vendors. She knew the questions to ask, helped me stay within the price range and offered other suggestions. She kept us on track with the timeline and just made the planning process so easy!
My husband & our families couldn't say enough great things about their work and support for our wedding weekend. It was above and beyond what I ever would have expected! I also have to say how great her assistants were! The wedding day was so memorable and there wasn't anything that we would have changed. Thanks so much to A Signature Wedding!!!
Probably one of the most meaningful reviews I've ever written - THANK YOU MONIQUE!
We met the amazing planner extraordinaire Monique Atwell of A Signature Wedding a little after w...
e became engaged, and since then, she has become like a member of our family. Our “team.” Knowing that our wedding would be a large-scale event, we instantly knew that Monique and her team were up to the task and could make our special day everything we ever dreamt it could be.
Her attention to detail is beyond impressive. While working with many clients and events at the same time, she truly makes you feel like a priority, and having that sense of value is immeasurable. From the beginning of our wedding journey until the big day, she helped make our dreams a reality, and our vision for our celebration come to life. If we had an idea, she made it happen. From her impressive collection of talented vendors, to reaching out to potential collaborators, no stone was left unturned and Monique's keen eye for quality and professionalism is beyond compare.
The team of A Signature Wedding is awesome, and was such a vital resource to have during the day-of. From keeping the wedding party on their timeline, to making sure everyone looked and felt their best, the day ran so smoothly and I personally felt so at ease because of their efficiency and assistance.
Monique, we are so grateful for your talent, your time, and your friendship. Thank you for putting up with our endless amounts of questions, our detailed late-night emails, the many many trips on the freeway commuting to meetings near and far, and all the meetings at our home that probably went way to late. And especially all the hard work and very, very, very late hours leading up to the wedding and even after it was all over. You truly deserve every inch of praise, a million stars, thumbs up, and likes. WE LOVE YOU!
Finding a wedding planner was the best decision we made during the wedding planning process. Choosing Monique as our wedding planner was the best of the best decision we made. Mo...
nique was super organized. We trusted her during the whole process. She gave us a lot of professional suggestions when we felt lost. We had busy work schedules and Monique was willing to work with our schedule and remind us about the things we needed to complete. On our wedding day, she made me feel that I don't need to worry about anything but enjoy, because she covered everything for us. She gave us so many great vendor referrals. We found the best photographer, DJ, videographer through her. If you are looking for a wedding planner, Monique is the best option. Thank you Monique for making our wedding day so special.
Monique and her team are phenomenal!! We contracted A Signature Wedding only two months before our wedding and it seemed like we had known her longer than that by the time the wed...
ding arrived. From the beginning, Monique was personable, warm, engaging, knowledgeable, fun, organized, detail-oriented and any other positive adjective that you’d want and expect a professional to have. We immediately felt as if a weight was lifted off of our shoulders and knew that everything would be handled impeccably. Prior to that, I was stressing about where we would find certain vendors but Monique gave us some great recommendations (who all went above and beyond for us) and was a great go-between with keeping all of us on track with deadlines and maintaining our wedding vision. For example, I wanted purple artichokes in my bridesmaids’ bouquets and certain centerpieces that incorporated a particular lampshade, so she found a wonderful florist who not only could provide the artichokes but who actually handmade the lampshade to stay within the vision! Monique took all of my ideas in stride and just made it happen, even answering emails late into the night! The day of my wedding, she and her team (four of them altogether) made my day so smooth and seamless that I was even calm enough to take a nap a few hours before the wedding with no worries that anything would go wrong (and even if it had, I didn’t know as she handled everything perfectly). They really took the most phenomenal care of us and all with a smile and laugh and a few hugs thrown in for good measure. All in all, Monique made our day so very spectacular and special that our guests (and even the venue) still talk about how beautiful our wedding was put together. If you want a wedding planner who goes above and beyond for you and handles everything with poise, charm and grace, then please hire Monique pronto! She is the best of the best!
We were referred to Monique Atwell of A Signature Wedding by some friends who used her as a wedding planner a few years back and we could not have been more thrilled with her work....
She went above and beyond our wildest expectations and created a perfect experience. It started with her first power point presentation to us and ended well after our wedding was over tying up all of the loose ends. Her attention to detail, deep list of vendor resources, kind/calm demeanor, creativity, and enthusiasm for our event made our wedding night at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu an evening to remember by everyone who attended. Countless guests of ours told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to thanks to Monique's planning. She seamlessly coordinated all aspects of our complex and unique bohemian chic vision including, flowers, lighting, venue, food, photography, videography, cake, band, furniture, transportation, among many other aspects. Monique and her team even stayed way after the wedding was over to pack up everything in our car for us so our precious mementos were ready for us the next day. She was always available in person or on the phone before, during and after our wedding for any issues that arose and always seemed liked she was having so much fun working with us. We will always refer any of our friends to Monique who are looking for a planner and will definitely use her for any party planning in the future.
My husband, family, and I all agree that working with Monique to plan our wedding was the best decision we made throughout this whole process! I don't know what we would have done ...
without her! Monique is extremely organized, meticulous, creative, and the consummate professional. I was so stressed at the beginning of wedding planning - I felt overwhelmed by the sheer task of it and did not have a clear vision of how I wanted our wedding to look like. Monique's calm demeanor and attention to detail helped us stay on track and create the wedding of our dreams! No question or problem was too big for her - she always quickly responded with multiple options and creative solutions. Monique left no stone unturned and thought of everything.
Finally, not only did we love working with her but we loved her assistants as well (shoutout to Lisa!). Monique brought 3 assistants with her for our wedding day, and they were all amazing. In particular, her assistant Lisa really went the extra mile for us - she made sure that we always had food and drinks, fixed my hair and veil countless times, gave me her jacket when I was cold from taking photos outside, and constantly checked in with our families.
We highly recommend Monique to anyone looking for a wedding planner! This will seriously be the best money that you spend on your wedding. Having a planner like Monique by your side will save you so much time, stress, and money! On top of that, she is super friendly and nice!
We learned about Monique Atwell of A Signature Wedding when we were touring venues. She was described to us as "the most organized wedding planner" they had worked with, which imm...
ediately piqued my interest. As such, we reached out to her and immediately felt a connection both because she is super kind and funny, but also because of her adherence to checklists, timelines, and spreadsheets. She was an enormous asset during the planning phase in that she suggested a list of vendors that she knew and trusted, had us review their work, then presented us with different options. Every single one of the vendors that she recommended was off-the-charts fantastic. Fast-forward to the day of the wedding: everyone is full of nervous energy, but Monique was instrumental in keeping everyone on time and on task. This allowed me not to even think about logistics or timing, and I actually got to have fun. And everything was perfect-- Monique and her team really outdid themselves. They even managed to have some special wine brought to our sweetheart table so we wouldn't forget to taste it! All in all, it was truly a wonderful experience, and I cannot imagine working with anyone better.
If you want your wedding planner to be super organized and on top of her game, Monique is it! Everything was seamless! She kept me organized throughout the planning phase and ensur...
ed I didn't forget a thing! I wouldn't go to anyone else! She is everything!

e whole process we just grew closer and closer together and she continued to amaze me with her professionalism and organization. Monique went above and beyond she spent countless hours with me and made the whole process leading up to the wedding go so smoothly. The day of the wedding was magical thanks to Monique and her crew, I felt like a princess with a whole team dedicated to me. She literally gave me a seamless wedding I’m so grateful that I chose A Signature Wedding to help me through this process. She also has great vendors that saved me a lot of money throughout the whole wedding. Whether you have hundreds of thousands to spend on your wedding or you are on an extremely tight budget Monique has the greatest tricks of the trade to give you your fairytale wedding.
Definitely call Monique!
Monique was absolutely fabulous to work with in making our dream wedding come true. From the beginning to the end, she never disappointed. She took our vision and put it into re...
ality. Her attention to detail and keeping us on a timeline made planning our wedding as painless as possible. She was very attentive to our thoughts and ideas and referred us to the very best vendors which we were extremely pleased. I have no reservations recommending Monique to anyone who wants a great wedding planner.
I was blown away by Monique throughout the planning process. She was responsive, creative, and organized! She was there every step of the way with helpful ideas and much needed r...
eminders. On the big day, she and her team made everything run so smoothly that I barely needed to think about anything except having the best day ever. Monique and her team made it so easy and so fun.
Let's just start off with A Signature Wedding is AMAZING! When I met with Monique for our first interview she was so organized and so sweet! My main question when I interviewed wed...
ding planners was "Ok, what is something you've done that's different at a wedding that people haven't seen before?" She had a ton of ideas for me to make my wedding different than everyone elses. I sent her picture after picture of what I wanted for my big day and she made my day exactly how I had pictured AND THEN SOME! She was so detail oriented and that is what you want for a wedding planner because as the bride you don't always think of the smaller things and she definitely does! And her assistants were great! I had a girl help me through out the day and I didn't even know she was there but then she was there when I needed her even when I didn't think I needed her haha! The whole staff was GREAT!
Monique and her team was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning. She impressed us from the very first meeting to the very last minute of our wedding day. She...
is incredibly organized, easy to reach, worked very with all of our vendors, and was consistently on top of things. She did all of these things for a very fair and reasonable price. I had alot of friends and family tell us how incredibly smooth our wedding was; which was no easy task as it was several hundred people & multi-cultural. Monique & her team handled it with awesome poise. I plan to recommend her to all my family & friends looking for an exceptional & well priced coordinator.
I can not begin to find the words for how INCREDIBLE Monique and her team are...but I will try!
I have been working in the wedding and event industry for over 10 years myself and ...
have worked with so many amazing people, but I will tell you, A Signature Wedding has always been a stand out in the industry.
I previously used Monique for a corporate event I was putting on and it was a game changer for creating a seamless, stress free event that not only looked amazing but everyone who attended raved about for weeks after the event.
Naturally, my now husband and I called her right away for our big day. We decided on a very intimate wedding and I thought with all my experience and knowledge of all aspects of weddings that I would be able to put it together without any help...but boy was I wrong and Monique was my saving grace! There are so many brides (guilty myself) that think going into the planning and day of that it can be done without experts like A Signature Wedding...while, yes, it can...but I am telling you, no matter the size of the affair, a planner who is as experienced, knowledgeable, and extremely talented as Monique is undoubtedly a God send and necessity!! I went from knowing what I wanted in a general scope of things to having the magic touch of A Signature Event to take all stress from us, fine tune the vision & even add the "signature touches" that I would have never been able to accomplish or execute without her. From the planning at the venue at a private home, to the details ranging from linens to special details honoring our families, to putting it all together the day of with my husband and I arriving and being in awe of what she brought to life with her team! They are organized, listened to what we envisioned, inspired new aspects of our vision, alleviated any stress throughout the process and on the day of, and just made the most thoughtful and well executed decisions for every detail.
Monique and A signature Wedding are without a doubt the BEST of the BEST and even more importantly, the nicest and more personable event planners I have ever worked with. They feel just like family and helped create day we will always look back on as perfect.
I have and will always recommend Monique and her team to anyone looking to create the most incredible day ever, whether it be a wedding or any event and I will ALWAYS go to them for anything I ever need in the future.
Thank you, A signature Wedding, from the bottom of our hearts!!

ight to logistical mastery...Monique offered everything! She was start to finish amazing. Calm, knowledgeable, fun, organized, creative, fabulous taste, flexible, and super sweet. She also has great business and negotiation skills to help capture the best rates and secure the top vendors. I loved our planning meetings during the months before the wedding, and she was a total rockstar on the big day. And icing on the cake? She's a cool chick who we will remain friends with. A Signature Wedding is the best choice for wedding planning in Southern California!
Our decision to hire a planner was not taken lightly. I took one look at the website for A Signature Wedding and knew this was the company that could help us turn our vision into...
our perfect wedding day. When my fiance and I sat down with Monique for our initial consultation, we were so impressed that we hired her company on the spot. It was the best decision we could have made and set the tone for how amazing our wedding planning experiece would be. Every unique and special detail we asked for was carried out with precision. Monique kept us on track with our deadlines and budgets and allowed us to experience the best parts of wedding planning. Monique took away the stress by using her considerable contacts, experience and expertise. She connected us with other vendors who were easy to work with and matched our "wedding personality."
Everthing was so well prepared that our wedding day went off without a hitch. It doesn't get much better than that!
We were overwhelmed with everything about the night and Monique Atwell made that all possible!! Her attention to detail and delivery from everything to making sure we were able to...

Monique has a calm demeanor and a special talent and she went above and beyond. Our wedding was even more beautiful than we imagined it could be, thanks to Monique and her team. I will never forget my wedding day and how integral she was in planning it. She truly is wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend her!
Words cannot describe how incredible Monique is as a wedding planner, but I will try my very best. From our first meeting, she came prepared - asking questions about my vision, as ...
well as my relationship with my now husband. I needed someone who could help me plan my dream wedding in LA while I was working in Northern California and she made that happen. What makes her so special is that she makes you believe and feel as though you are the only bride she is working with, giving you all the attention, advice and help that you need. She helped make every detail at my wedding perfect for me by understanding what I was looking for and executing that vision flawlessly. She also keeps you informed on everything, which was great for me since I wasn't local. Whenever I flew down for the weekend, she would make sure that all the necessary vendor visits were scheduled and ready for us. I would trust Monique with any event I was planning and I will use her again 100%.
Hiring Monique was the best money I spent on the entire wedding! I hired her for the month-of coordination package, but she did so much more beyond the month-of. We had our initial...
meeting with her about 8-10 months out! At first I thought I could do everything myself, but there are so many details and so much coordination amongst the vendors that I would have had no clue how to handle, or that it would even need to be done. The day-of you are so busy with hair and makeup and then photos, who else is going to handle all of the vendors and last minute items? Monique! Nothing went wrong (at least that I could see or know about) the day-of, everything was perfect. She created an extremely detailed timeline for us and thought of everything that I would have never thought of. Best of all, she is super super responsive, I can't think of a single email that was unanswered beyond 24 hours. She showed up to every meeting, phone call, rehearsal, exactly on time. Monique is so nice too, I'm sad the experience is over with her! If you are having a medium or larger size wedding, I highly recommend hiring a coordinator beyond the venue catering manager (who was only there for a third of the time Monique was there the day-of). You absolutely need someone like Monique who is on time and on the mark to take care of every detail on your wedding day so you can enjoy as much of it as you can!

I did not think we needed a wedding planner, but the venue required one. How surprised I was to realize how much I did need one and Monique Atwell was the perfect candidate. She w...
as professional and sweet from the first point of contact. Her team during the wedding was discreet but oh so helpful to all of our guests. Many of my guests commented about the proficiency and professionalism from A Signature Wedding and I have already given her contact information to two friends. Don't look any further, Monique will take care of you.
So happy with A Signature Wedding!!! Monique Atwell was on top of everything from the moment of our first meeting until after our wedding. She definitely took control and made sure...
I enjoyed every moment of my wedding with no stress.
We just got married 3 weeks ago and Monique helped make our wedding the best day ever! She took care of everything the day of, our wedding flowed so well and we were able to ju...
st have so much fun! During the planning process she was always on top of it and would get back to us with recommendations or whatever we'd ask for. She also helped coordinate and communicate with all our vendors impeccably well for our day. She helped with timelines, checklists, but best of all, she cared and has a great personality and was so pleasant to get along with and get to know throughout the process, so much so that we are going to miss talking to her regularly and plan on keeping in touch! We'd both highly recommend Monique to anyone and everyone!
Monique was absolutely amazing for us and we don't know what we would have done without her! We went with a full service package and she was essential to every part of the plannin...
g process, from picking the venue, budgeting, reading contracts, choosing vendors, invitations, etc. All of the vendors she recommended did a fantastic job also. Monique and her team are extremely organized and she kept us on track every step of the way, letting us know what needed to be accomplished each month. She also makes sure that your vision for your wedding day remains front and center, and that each decision ties into that vision. She will offer input and advice that always falls in line with whatever your overall vision for the wedding is. Furthermore, she always would keep our budget in mind and help us stay within it. While we were already thrilled with Monique before the wedding day, she and her team were truly fantastic on the day of. They take care of everything and every aspect of the day flows seamlessly so you can just enjoy the your wedding to its fullest without worry. We are so thankful to Monique and her team for playing such an instrumental role in what was the best day of our lives!
Monique and A Signature Wedding are ESSENTIAL for your wedding planning and wedding day! I hired Monique for assistance in planning and day of coordination. The planning process wa...
s so easy and stress-free because Monique has great ideas and has amazing tools to help any bride from "what to do in which month" to which colors look good with what. Monique is so sweet and I can't say enough about her. She goes above and beyond! On the day of the wedding, Monique and her 2 assistants ran everything so smoothly. My husband and I did not have to worry about ANYTHING...Monique and her team were so professional and was prepared for any situation on the wedding day. I have to say that our wedding day was PERFECT because of A Signature Wedding.
Monique was an absolute pleasure to work with! We knew we needed help pretty early on, so we went with the full service package and it was worth every penny. We had a good idea of ...
the venue we wanted and a rough budget in mind, but Monique helped us keep to that. She consulted with us multiple times throughout the planning process and always brought fantastic input to the table.
Monique has a deep bench of trusted vendors which was helpful, reading reviews on sites is good, but knowing that our planner has worked with them in the past was a vote of confidence that helped ease any further stress when it came to picking out our vendors.
Additionally, when it came time to sign and negotiate contracts she knew exactly what to watch for, and where corners should and should not be cut. We feel that in this stage of the process she saved us at least as much money as she cost.
When it came to the day-of, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. The team at A Signature Wedding were incredibly well orchestrated. Our venue was large and confusing (Frank Gehry buildings tend to be), but the team knew it inside and out and was placed in all the right places at all the right times. At no point during the day of the wedding did we have any stress about who, what, when, where, how, or why. Thank you so much for making our wedding day so memorable!
It’s difficult for me to succinctly explain how essential Monique at ‘A Signature Wedding’ was to my special day. When I became engaged, I knew the wedding planner would be the mo...
st important element to nail: after all- they are the ones that orchestrate your ceremony and reception, and recommend all of the various venders that execute your vision! Plus, if they are good at their job, they keep you calm and manage everything behind the scenes so that you don’t see any of the hiccups that inevitably happen! As a stressed, perfectionist bride, I did my fair share of interviews with planners. Meeting after meeting, I left feeling the same: that I was being fit into a package formula that included X number of phone calls, and X number of emails included in the service… Considering that you go into wedding planning knowing NOTHING about the industry, I worried that I would be left scrambling to “figure it out” myself if I exceeded my “allotted communication”.
When I initially spoke with Monique, she immediately demonstrated her know how and provided guidance to me, despite the fact that it was just a consultation. I could tell that she was a businesswoman, yes, but more so that she was incredibly passionate about what she does, and takes great pride in making every bride feel like her number one priority.
The remaining eight months since I booked Monique until my wedding day, that is exactly how I felt. Her “month of” package is really a misnomer—she worked steadily with me for three quarters of a year to make sure that every decision was made in a timely fashion, to my satisfaction, with precision. Even when we had a lull in decision making deadlines, she checked in to keep me on track, and updated me religiously with helpful checklists and spreadsheets so I felt in control of the process. When I had to choose vendors like chair rentals, florals, or bands, Monique didn’t just “phone it in” and send me to her #1 contact. Instead she researched various options based on my budget and tastes, and provided me with comprehensive bids from companies. I never lifted a finger (or the phone), because Monique had everything handled and then handed to me for my simple approval! For instance, when I discovered that the ‘preferred florists’ on my hotel site’s vendor list were double my flower budget, Monique hooked me up with an amazing florist and secured me a personal discount so that I could get the flowers of my dreams for half of what comparable companies were quoting! When I was considering cutting chiffon chair drapes from my budget because they typically run $10/chair, Monique found a tiny shop in downtown LA that would do it for $2!
Monique is extremely organized and professional. You can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that ‘she’s on top of it’. In addition, she’s incredibly kind and generous. When my future mother and sister in laws decided they needed help with the rehearsal dinner, Monique allowed us to add on to our planning package an incredibly fair amount, and she completely took over to relieve their stress as well! She goes above and beyond, which is a sign of hard work, but she also anticipates your needs, which is a sign of talent. There aren’t enough words to express how happy I am with Monique’s service—I truly LUCKED OUT in finding someone that made my wedding preparations, and day, easy and fun!
Monique Atwell made my dream wedding come to life in a huge way! I am an attorney with very little time (and creative juices) and would not have survived my wedding day and the ye...
ar leading up to it without Monique's expertise and patience. She made finding a venue and vendors very easy, and was conscientious of my budget along the way. I would absolutely recommend Monique and A Signature Wedding if you are looking for a planner who is diligent, calming, and experienced. The package I purchased also had two assistant wedding coordinators (in addition to Monique) the day of the wedding, which I thought was key to helping the whole day run smoothly. Neither the groom nor I had to lift a finger once the wedding was under way and were able to enjoy the most magical day of our lives without a worry in the world. Thank you Monique!
