Boca Event Planning

Monika and her team are incredible. From locking in vendors to designing our signage and running our 200+ guest Armenian wedding, she handled everything flawlessly. She’s not just a planner but someone we loved working with—fun, supportive, and always honest when we needed guidance. Despite managing other weddings, she was always a text away, and her team worked seamlessly to go above and beyond. Guests even complimented how kind and professional she was while running the show. If you’re looking for someone who can truly do it all, Monika is the one!

Monika is a dream come true! From our initial meeting until well after the wedding, Monika was on top of everything! She paid attention to detail, is very organized and communicated well with vendors and made sure everything was perfect on the wedding day. There were a few unexpected issues and last-minute adjustments that she was able to rectify immediately. Monika surely takes the stress off the bride and groom and allowed them to fully enjoy and focus on their big day!

I wanted to express my deepest gratitude and thanks for the amazing job you did putting together Morgan and Dalton’s dream wedding. Your guidance through the process insured an EPIC wedding night and had me so calm my family was concerned! 😊 You are so talented and kind and we would be happy to recommend you to anyone considering your services. Your vendors were amazing and your attention to detail was excellent!!! You helped organize a night to remember and we can never thank you enough!

I met Monika at a wedding expo. While my mom and MIL wandered off to one booth, Boca Event Planning's booth caught my eye, and I drifted off and man am I happy I did. Monika has a very special way of being honest and telling you the things you NEED to hear all while being gentle, kind, and understanding with your desires. Her team was very professional and communicative on the days leading up to our wedding and especially on the big day. All of our guest were so pleased with the entire event. Specifically, how smoothly it ran despite unexpected, heavy rain. I hired Monika for Month of coordination services but if I could go back to change anything, it would be to hire her for 6-month planning or full planning. I could rave about how much I love Monika and her team for ages and cannot recommend her enough for any couple looking to plan their special day.

Monika (Boca Event Planning) was absolutely incredible to work with and our wedding was perfect. From the second we hopped on the initial intro call, Monika was personable, engaging, knowledgeable, and professional.  We decided to go with her complete/full package of services, and we would recommend the same to anyone else in a heartbeat. Immediately upon starting to work with Monika, she helped us prioritize what needed to get done, identify vendors, review stationary and website language, and so much more. Throughout the planning process, Monika made so many suggestions that saved us time and money and simply improved our wedding experience altogether. She is extremely organized and an excellent communicator, so we always felt confident and reassured that she was on top of all the things that were being juggled during the wedding planning process. Monika always made us feel at ease and assured us that we were right on track. After every single call with Monika, we would say to ourselves “I feel much better now” or “That was extremely helpful.” Monika was also a consummate professional in advocating and defending our preferences and opinions when other people tried to throw in their two cents.  Monika’s role preparing for and on wedding day was also invaluable. The timeline that Monika prepared for day of took so much stress off our shoulders and helped our day go off without a hitch. Monika and her team handled all of the day of communications with the venue and vendors, as well as loading all of our personal items before the end of the night, so we could truly enjoy every last moment of our wedding.  We had such a great experience!!

Monica did an amazing job planning our wedding! We worked with her for over a year and she helped us take care of every detail. When we hired her, I told her "your job is to make this fun for me." She definitely held up her end and constantly went above and beyond meeting our expectations. About a week before the wedding, the videographer canceled due to a family emergency and by the end of the day she had already found us someone else with a similar style and price point. Her vendor relationships and experience are invaluable. We can't thank her enough! Our day never would've been as amazing as it was without her support.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Monika as our month of wedding coordinator, and I can't recommend her enough! She was incredibly organized, attentive, and had a great eye for detail. From the moment we met, she made me feel at ease and confident that my big day would be perfect. Monika took the time to understand my vision and brought it to life flawlessly. She handled all the logistics, from vendor coordination to timeline management, with such professionalism and grace. Thanks to Monika, my wedding day was stress-free and absolutely magical. If you're looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your dream wedding a reality, I highly recommend Monika. She's a true gem in the industry!

Boca Event Planning/Monika was our month-of coordinator for our wedding at Pelican Club, and the wedding day would not of been possible without her and her team! She was instrumental in managing our 10+ vendors, making our specific vision for decor, setup, and event flow come to life, and ensuring the day went smoothly for not only the wedding party but all our guests too. When plans had to change the day of due to weather, Monika ensured it was calmly taken care of behind the scenes, and the wedding went on without missing a beat. If you're on the fence about hiring a planner, do it! I could not have imagined our day without Boca Event Planning's support!

I had a great experience with Monika assisting with my day-of wedding coordination! She helped with my timeline and ensured everything went off without a hitch so I didn’t have to be stressed on the day, as well as helped with my vendor confirmations beforehand and scheduling. I would recommend her to anyone!!!

We hired Monika a year before our wedding as a Month of Coordinator. During that year, we were able to text or email her regarding any questions that we had. She was a second pair of eyes for anything wedding-related and reviewed each contract before we signed. Once she took over the month before the wedding, she took a lot of stress off of us. Our wedding day was wonderful thanks to Monika and her team!

5-star experience with Monika and Boca Event Planning all the way. My only regret was not hiring her the minute I got engaged. We hired BEP for month of and day-of-coordination and couldn’t have been happier with our wedding weekend. Monika is so talented and has an arsenal of quality vendors at her fingertips, her recommendations were spot-on and she is a flat out superhero in getting all of the timelines and details down to a T. Not only is she highly-organized, and efficient, she is beyond creative and can help with decor, design and really bringing visions to life. I came to her with tons of screenshots of very various vibes, themes and design elements I liked - and she was able to work with us (and our budget!) to bring it to life above and beyond our wildest expectations! Our family and friends are still talking about all the special details and how wonderful our weekend was. And as an added bonus, Monika is a wonderful person who you will love and genuinely enjoy working with - she is kind, fun and really made our wedding planning process something enjoyable and rewarding (I was NOT feeling that way prior to working with Monika!) - highly recommend to any couples looking to have their best wedding ever!

I couldn’t have been happier choosing Boca Event Planning! Monika and Gaby were absolutely the best. The amount of care and love Monika put during the planning process and at the wedding is unmatched. I am so happy I found Monika and I will forever use Boca Event Planning for any event. Hands down recommend them for any event ! Boca Event Planning deserves every price, trophy, reward and more the world has to offer!

Monika, you are amazing! We can’t thank you and your team enough for making sure our wedding was the day of our dreams! We have received so many kind words and compliments about our wedding! Our day was so beautiful. 10/10 I would recommend you go with Monika 😊 ✨✨✨ Her and her team go above and beyond. Thank you for planning our wedding and a party that will have people talking for months to come! ☺️ -Allison and Andrew

Above and beyond doesn't begin to describe Monika. She is kind, patient, so knowledgeable and has an amazing network of vendors that quite literally saved my wedding day. I'm not exaggerating when I say that my wedding day would not have happened if it wasn't for her! Weeks leading up to the wedding, and the day of, she coordinated with all of the vendors to ensure everything was set up and ready to go. From getting-ready, ceremony and reception she was there orchestrating the entire thing. I was able to fully enjoy my day knowing she had everything under control. One of the things that impressed me most about Monika was her attention to detail. She made sure that every little thing was taken care of, from the flowers to the music to the decorations. She even went out of her way to add special touches that I didn't even think of, making the day even more special and memorable. I cannot thank Monika enough for all of her hard work and dedication. She is a wonderful human being inside and out and truly went above and beyond to make my wedding day the best day of my life.

There’s no adjective great enough to describe how wonderful Monika and Boca Event Planning is. Incredible, creative, committed, and detailed are just to name a few. Monika made the process so smooth, and I never felt one bit of wedding stress thanks to her. The network she has built helps the decision making process that much easier. She becomes your friend in the process because of her beautiful personality. I’d recommend Monika to any of my family members or friends. She is very experienced and thinks of things you’d never thought were important. If you have ideas of your own, she helps incorporate them to make it the personalized wedding you envisioned. From deciding how to word invitations to creating the seating chart boards to having a minute-by-minute schedule to editing the program to getting the transportation set up, Monika gets the job done. She’s very time efficient and has her planning process down to a science. By your special date, all the T’s will be crossed and I’s will be dotted if you’re working with Monika. I can’t say enough positive words about her. If you’re deciding between a wedding planner, put it this way…Monika and Boca Event Planning will be the best decision you ever made. Everything else will come easier because of that one decision. Thank you Monika for all of your hard work. We had the time of our lives, and we couldn’t have done it without you!

I was looking for a wedding planner than could help me only the month of my wedding. Monika was just what I needed. She was very flexible and easy to work with. I appreciated that she came along side me to help me achieve my vision for our wedding day without changing what we wanted. She was a champ working with the staff at the venue site that had never hosted a wedding before. She advocated for what I wanted so that I did not have to stress. For example our venue site would not comp our hotel room, they wanted to move the wedding inside when it had rained in the morning and helped us get the getaway car set up for our ideal photo op! She handled those situations with a smile on her face! I would highly recommend her! Thank you again Monika!

I would recommend Monika and Boca Event Planning to ANY couple!! Monika was an absolute God send in our wedding planning process. Our wedding venue cancelled on us less than 2 weeks before our wedding, and Monika helped us essentially replan the entire wedding from scratch in ten days. I don't think we would have been able to do it without her. She was so calm under pressure and efficient to help us plan the perfect day. We could not have been more happy with everything Monika did - she is professional, meticulous, organized, and really cares about her couples.

Our wedding was perfect! A large amount of credit goes to Monika for helping to coordinate with all of the vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly and also to direct us each step of the way on the big day at Bonnet House. At the end of the wedding day, after being nervous about all of the required coordination, we could sit back and truly say that it was the BEST WEDDING EVER!!! She basically did everything – I hired her for “month of” but would recommend an even more extensive planning package if you’re on the fence. She was able to work efficiently and effectively with vendors, and just get stuff done, deal with Momzilla, become best friends with Momzilla, and all of the rest! Rawr! Thanks Monika!

Where do I even begin… Monika has been by my side throughout the wedding planning process from the very beginning. I hired her for “month-of-wedding coordination” but what she did for me was far beyond “month-of”. She was always a text message or an email away and ready to answer any questions I had. From proof-reading my ‘save the dates’ and wedding invitation to helping me decide on table settings, she assisted me through it all. I am the type of person who likes to micro-manage ever single little detail so to trust someone else with my wedding was HUGE… but with Monika, it was easy. After meeting with her for our first consultation we had an immediate connection and I knew I was in the most capable hands. Monika took my vision and FAR EXCEEDED my expectations. She is the perfect balance between remaining professional and being a genuine friend. If I’m being honest, she was there for me through a very vulnerable and emotional time, in the mist of the wedding planning process, and helped guide me through a very tough decision. It doesn’t get any better than her. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you did for my husband and I—we are forever grateful for you.

My husband and I got married at the Pelican Club in July of 2021 and found Monica through a refearral from a friend. She was so helpful, professional, thoughtful, and efficient and we're very thank to have worked with her! Would recommend to anyone in the South Florida area looking for a wedding planner.

My husband and I met Monika a year ago as a referral from a good friend. After the initial meeting, I knew I wanted to hire her. I didn’t even try to scout for other wedding planners. There was an instant connection. She’s very knowledgeable, professional and organized. She always has your best interest in mind. As with all weddings, mishaps happen. Monika made sure she took care of EVERYTHING. I lost a personal item which frustrated me. Issues were just piling up. I was so upset to the point that I couldn’t have fun nor focus. She did everything in her power to look for my belonging and she did! She really SAVED my wedding. From there I knew, she would treat you as family and would do everything in her power to make your day just how you imagined it. Your pinterest inspirations will come to life! 100% Guaranteed. We love you Monika! ❤️

Monika is such a professional and knowledgeable event planner! She planned my wedding reception and it was beyond beautiful! The whole organization went so smooth, she really did an amazing job, took care of all little details! Amazing person and amazing planner! Highly Recommend if you want someone who has a lot of style and makes your event planning so easy.

Hiring Monika is a MUST for all events! Monika planned my bridal shower and my wedding and they both were the most beautiful days that I will always remember. Monika was professional, knowledgeable, and so wonderful to work with every step of the way. She offered suggestions to keep our budget in mind, provide guidance in seating charts, addressing envelopes, etc. She communicated effectively with all my vendors and I trusted her to make day of decisions. Monika created a detailed timeline that helped my wedding run smoothly that impressed all other vendors. Everyone was where they needed to be at all times! Monika goes above and beyond and was there to help me bustle my dress and to remind me to breathe and take in the day. She took all my ideas and really made them come to life not only in set up but also as she designed my programs, reception cards, place cards, and all signage for the wedding. I 100% recommend Boca Event Planning and can't wait for her to plan my next event/party! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

We worked with Monika for a wedding at the Pelican Club and we can't say enough about how wonderful she was to work with and how perfect the wedding was. She was kind, eloquent, knowledgable, and incredibly organized. She was attentive to every last detail while still maintaining a beautiful balance of warmth and understanding toward the couple, their guests, and all of the vendors. It seems quite a difficult task to manage such a large event so perfectly and to do it with grace but Monika excelled. We would love to work with her again and give her our highest recommendation as a fellow vendor.

Although my wedding hasn’t happened yet (11/7), I had to write this review for the amazing work that Monika and Boca Event Planning has done for me this far. The planning process is never easy especially with the crazy year that is 2020. Monika has helped me feel at ease and has been thorough in her planning process, thinking of things I would have never thought of. She has been quick to answer my texts, emails, calls, and make any changes requested. She has also offered such a great deal of her expertise, suggestions, and ideas that have helped us make the evening more cohesive and cost effective. Even with all the hurdles of this year, she has gone above and beyond in helping us make our vision come to life. We CANNOT wait to see it all come to fruition!

Monika is amazing. I gave her an idea of what I had in my mind for my daughter's bridal shower and she took of with it (asking for my approval each step of the way, of course). She was professional, conpasinate and loving. Everything turned out spectacular! Way beyond my expectations. Can't wait for the magic she is going to create for the wedding! Thank you so much Monika @ Boca Event Planning

Everything about our wedding was absolutely beautiful, and a large deal of credit goes to Monica and her assistant with Boca Event Planning. The coordination of our ceremony was flawless, the timing was perfect, and the flow was beautiful. Boca Event Planning encompassed our vision and created a ceremony which touched not only both my wife and I, but each of our guests. It’s a week later and we’re still hearing compliments from family of how perfectly everything came together. From the coordination with vendors, the flexibility of our last minute rehearsal, the oversight of abiding by the current COVID-19 regulations, and all the small tips that made each moment even more perfect, Monica did an outstanding job coordinating our special day. We both wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any couple in the South Florida area looking to host a beautiful wedding. Thank you Boca Event Planning and Miss Monica for everything you did to help create our perfect wedding just how we pictured it. Love, Matt and Cat 07.11.2020

I highly recommend Boca Event Planning. Monika is not only a wonderful wedding planner, she is an incredible person. Monika is smart, organized, thoughtful and super talented at everything-wedding related. She truly captured my vision for the wedding. She went above and beyond for us-- creating labels for our candles and creating the most beautiful itinerary for our welcome bags. Now that the wedding is over, we miss her bright light and we're looking forward to planning another event with Monika and her awesome team in the future.

Working with Monika was one of the best decisions I made prior to my wedding. She was able to help me accomplish everything needing to be done, identify and avoid problems before they arose, and brought to fruition the event I had envisioned. My wedding day was absolutely perfect and stress free because Monika and her team were handling all the logistics and minor bumps that came along. She did all this with the utmost professionalism and enthusiasm

We were sure when we first met Monika how amazing she was, not only was she knowledgeable about the industry but she was personable and kind, which in my opinion is a hard line to walk. Monika has a way of making you feel as though you’ve been friends for years and that is part of her magic. Our wedding date of 7/11/20 was one that gave us plenty of time to go through a natural timeline of when things should be happening and Monika was available each and every time I needed her but what do they say about life… you make a plan and it will conspire against it. The beautiful wedding we’d been planning would hang in balance as I faced a terrible health issue. In the blink of an eye, we went from having over a year to plan the wedding of our dreams to OMG we need to just make this official as soon as possible. The moment Monika learned of what was happening, she reached out and it made it that much clearer that she carries a different type of passion for what she does. Not only did she commit to making sure that we were going to make the absolute best of a horrible situation, but she made it clear that our contract was null and void, which meant that every single thing that she did for us, was done from a place of human compassion, such a rarity these days. While I was lying in a hospital bed unable to make any important decisions, Monika took the reins and boy are we glad she did. The miracles she was able to work in one week speak even further to the personal connections that she has with people. How she managed to secure an intimate dinner space for our closest family and friends and decorate it to perfection is still beyond me. Every detail from my custom bouquet, my husband’s boutonniere, photographer and a full complimentary wedding cake left us in complete and total awe of who she is as a person. She was even able to secure our very first dance at the restaurants piano bar at a moment’s notice. My husband and I were surrounded by the love and support that we so desperately needed and we cannot say enough good things about how appreciative we are to have had Monika be a part of our night. We are so glad we didn’t just allow our grief to rob us of a moment and that she was an angelic voice of reason in that area. There are dozens of event planners on this site, but you will be hard pressed to find a woman as astonishing as Monika. Your wedding day should be everything that you dream of, so the person you chose to help facilitate this dream is one of the most important decisions you will make. Chose passion over everything else.

Monika is fantastic! I loved having her as part of my wedding team. She is thoughtful, detailed and truly cares for her clients and gave it her all to make my wedding day perfect. Can't say thank you enough :)
