Cluster Events were everything we didn’t know we needed.
We worked with Morgan for day-of coordination for our wedding at The Proper Hotel in Santa Monica, and looking back, we truly can’t imagine the day without her.
Even though we technically only hired her for day-of help, Morgan stayed in touch with us throughout the year. She checked in, offered planning advice, shared vendor recommendations, and just made sure we were on the right path with planning. She was so easy to talk to, always calm, always organized, and somehow made even the most overwhelming parts of planning feel manageable. She never made us feel like we were asking for too much. It was always, “Yes, we can do that,” followed by real solutions and thoughtful suggestions.
On wedding day, her experience really showed when she managed seven vendors without missing a beat and kept the entire timeline running smoothly. We didn’t have to stress about a single thing. We were able to truly enjoy the day and be present with each other because she had it all under control.
One of the biggest moments that stood out to us was when we made a last-minute decision to add a traditional Korean ceremony a week before. Without hesitation, Morgan adjusted the schedule and made it feel like it had been part of the plan all along. It was seamless and incredibly meaningful for us to honor a long standing tradition in my family.
She also stepped in to help with our ceremony script since our officiant (my brother-in-law) was new to the role. And the way she handled our décor was amazing. We handed her a bunch of personal items for the cocktail hour and some photos to hang up, and somehow, she made everything look perfect, just the way we imagined it.
There were so many small things she did that made a huge difference. For example, my family showed up without a space to change, something we completely forgot to plan for. Within minutes, she had found a nearby room big enough for all of them to get ready comfortably. It’s those kinds of things you don’t realize you’ll need until you do, and Morgan was already three steps ahead.
The entire day felt smooth, relaxed, and full of joy, not just for us, but for everyone there. Our guests kept telling us how impressed they were with how everything flowed, and that was all thanks to Morgan and the amazing team at Cluster Events. We always felt supported and heard, and we never felt like any request was too big or too small.
If you’re even thinking about working with Morgan and Cluster Events, do it. She made our wedding day not just stress-free, but truly unforgettable.

My partner and I got married in my aunt and uncle's backyard in South Pasadena. It was, without exaggeration, a perfect day in every sense. Every moment came together perfectly thanks to Cluster Events.
Michelle and the Cluster Events team were absolutely incredible. The spreadsheets they provided were easy to navigate and helped me keep every aspect of the planning process organized, from party layout and scheduling to supply checklists. Their communication was excellent—they were always available to answer questions, share their expertise, and offer honest advice (like tactfully dissuading me from ordering unnecessary items or items that would clash with our romantic wedding aesthetic).
On the wedding day, Michelle was the ultimate problem-solver, running the show with such calm professionalism that I didn’t need to look at my phone once. Any hiccups or issues were handled so smoothly that I was completely unaware of them. The result as a stress-free day where my partner and I could be fully present and enjoy every moment.
Michelle's expertise, warmth, and dedication made the entire planning process not just easy but genuinely enjoyable. Hiring Cluster Events was worth every penny, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly to anyone looking for a wedding planning team that will exceed expectations at every turn.
Any questions?

Cannot say enough about how amazing and easy it was to work with Morgan and Cluster. They take care of every last thing (things you wouldn't even think of - or should). We had some issues with our venue, but Morgan stepped it and helped out with everything. We're so happy and would hire them a thousand times over. Thank you!

Where do we begin?? Frankie was simply a joy to work with. We had much of the heavy lifting out of the way, and Frankie tied it all up in the most perfect way. She added in the small details to bring it all together and really understood who we were as a couple to make it our own. We are a go with the flow couple and she really matched our style throughout the whole process. She was thoughtful, communicative and considerate in all the ways of all the things. She was so fun to work with, it never seemed stressful or daunting because she always kept us at ease. Even when we were faced with a potential weather issue, she had a plan and could pivot to make things work. We had complete trust in her knowing her approach to handle things was exactly right for us and she always had our best interest at heart. She is a tremendous human with a beautiful heart and it showed in everything she did for us. She also was a champ dealing with our families and never stopped smiling. We could not have asked for a more perfect planner for us.

I worked with Cluster & Morgan for month-of wedding coordination. I could not recommend them more! They were so helpful throughout the entire process. It was so lovely not to have to worry about anything on the big day because I knew Morgan was up to date & handling everything. In the initial phases, I was debating between booking Cluster & another company that was half the price. I'm so glad I made the decision to invest with Cluster and in retrospect feel like I 100% got my money's worth in the amount of time Cluster spent working with me. So grateful that my day was perfect, largely thanks to Cluster!!

Frankie and team helped us to pull off the most amazing, magical wedding in the backyards of my wife’s family home in Venice. It was a really complicated endeavor and could have gone wrong about 100 different ways, but Frankie kept us on track throughout the entire process and planned the most unbelievably cohesive and brilliant wedding we could have imagined. Our friends and family said it was the best wedding they’d ever been to and while we are biased, we think they are right. She is an absolute joy to work with and truly goes above and beyond for her clients. She also has the ideal attitude and temperament for a world-class planner — she is focused, attentive, and incredibly detail oriented without even the slightest hint of stress or anxiety. We never had to worry about anything because we knew Frankie was all over it, and when the day came we just got to bask in its glory. If we could give her 6 stars we would.

I cannot recommend Cluster enough! From the very first meeting, it was clear that my husband and I were in capable hands.
Throughout the process, Morgan was incredibly organized, attentive, and always available to answer our questions or provide guidance.
On the day of the wedding, we were able to relax and enjoy knowing that Morgan was handling everything seamlessly. Morgan coordinated with all the vendors and ensured that everything ran smoothly. She even handled last minute requests from us that gave us our wedding a personal touch.
All of our guests even commented on how smooth the coordination of our special day was!

Heading into planning our wedding, we had very little idea about where to begin or what we even wanted our wedding to look like. But Frankie at Cluster guided us through every step of the process with kindness and patience, helping us build out a wedding that felt authentically us. It is one thing to help execute someone's vision but it is a true gift to help someone recognize what that vision is, and Frankie can do both. Every aspect of our wedding — from the band to the flowers to the food to chairs and tables — Frankie found for us within our budget. This past weekend we got compliments on it all from gobsmacked guests. Wedding planning can be hard, confusing, and stressful, but Frankie never let it feel that way. We put our trust in her and she over-delivered on a wedding that truly was a dream we didn't know we had.

Morgan assisted us with wedding coordination and I honestly don't know what I would have done without her.
She is super friendly, has such a great attitude and is so FUN to speak with. We felt very supported with all of our wedding choices, which were somewhat unconventional.
I can't say enough about her organizational skills and attention to detail. Our event was absolutely perfect and it definitely would NOT have been without Morgan's hard work and energy!!!
Cluster's recommended vendors took so much guesswork out of it for us - this was a crucial part for me, to know they had worked with these vendors before and trusted them. Cluster will work hard to make sure you have an fun and unforgettable wedding!!! I cannot say enough good things about them, they are WORTH IT!!!

My husband and I strongly recommend Morgan and Cluster Events! From day one, Morgan impressed us with her professionalism and passion for the job. Our shared background in the theater didn’t hurt, either.
We got the Day-Of package, which actually includes 60 days of service, a great value for money. Morgan created our wedding timeline, coordinated all of our vendors, and made sure things ran smoothly on the big day so that we could be guests at our own party!
Morgan called the show like a seasoned stage manager, cuing our entrances & exits, corralling our guests, setting up & taking down the guest book, collecting cards, distributing tips to vendors, and so much more. When we needed makeup wipes or a glass of water, she fetched them for us. When the venue tried to shut us down at 11, it was her assistant Caroline who reminded them that they had promised us access to the upstairs lounge til 12:30.
My husband & I felt like king & queen for a day. We could not have enjoyed our wedding as much as we did without Morgan & Caroline running the show. Treat yourself to the same experience with Cluster Events!

Our venue recommended Cluster to us and we're SO happy they did. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Morgan and her team for 2-3 months leading up to our wedding, and they were truly exceptional. From the start, Morgan fully understood our vision and how exactly to bring it to life. Her level of organization and attention to detail was outstanding, and she was always one step ahead, ensuring everything went smoothly. Our wedding party mentioned how attentive, thoughtful, and clear she was in every aspect of the day. Her communication skills are unmatched, and any challenge that arose was handled swiftly and with ease. Thanks to Morgan we were able to relax and fully enjoy our wedding day, knowing we were in the best possible hands.

Morgan and her team were absolutely incredible to work with! We decided to plan most of our wedding ourselves from the beginning of our engagement, but Morgan stepped in 90 days before the big day and executed everything flawlessly. Her expert advice and professional approach helped bring all the details together in a way we couldn't have done on our own. The entire process became so much smoother and stress-free with her guidance. On our wedding day, everything went perfectly, thanks to her outstanding coordination, attentiveness and wonderful team. If you're looking for a planner who will make your day seamless and special, look no further. Highly recommend!

In a world where there are endless options for planners and other vendors for your wedding, Frankie and her team at Cluster were easily the best decision we made. Cannot recommend Frankie and Cluster enough! Frankie was amazing on the lead up -- cannot emphasize enough the relief it gave us to have someone so smart, knowledgeable, mega-competent, and delightful on our team making sure we hit all the important notes and didn’t forget anything. She easily smoothed over a to-do list that seemed impossible beforehand! Not to mention answering our million questions and helping us sort out the important things + time prioritization. She was so on top of everything, and we were so happy not to have to worry about details like making sure our vendors had all their paperwork for the venue in on time. And on the day itself, Frankie and her assistant Deanna were INCREDIBLE -- not only did they make everything run smoothly and efficiently despite various hiccups (the hotel shuttle of guests arriving 40 minutes early when we were still taking family photos, the caterers running behind), but also fixed my dad’s glasses, switched the bathroom kits the bathrooms most guests ended up using, and helped coordinate with emergency services when one of our guests had a medical emergency. They can do all the details, big picture and small, and truly went above and beyond. Literally could not be more thrilled to have hired Frankie and the Cluster team as two month coordinators for our wedding!

Cluster was great to work with as our wedding planner - from the start, they went above and beyond for us. Their meticulous attention to detail, creativity, and calm demeanor made planning much less stressful.
On our wedding day, Morgan ensured everything ran smoothly, coordinating seamlessly with all our vendors. Her ability to handle unexpected challenges gracefully allowed us to relax and truly enjoy our day - including sewing the Maid of Honor's dress back together!
We can’t thank Morgan enough for her professionalism, warmth, and genuine care. She made our wedding unforgettable, and we highly recommend her to any couple.

We can’t rave enough about Frankie & the Cluster team and the incredible job they did with our wedding. From our very first meeting, Frankie took the time to understand our vision and then went above and beyond to bring it to life. We never got overwhelmed with the planning process thanks to Frankie's calm and focused approach to tackling the details. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and it truly showed in the flawless execution we saw on the Day Of!
On the big day, we were blown away by how smoothly everything went. We didn’t have to worry about a thing—Frankie and her team had everything under control. They were always one step ahead, making sure that every moment unfolded perfectly. The way they coordinated everything allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the day without any stress.
Our guests are still talking about how beautiful and seamless our fairytale wedding was, which is a testament to Cluster's hard work and expertise. They created a whimsical, romantic atmosphere with a fun energy that lasted the entire night - it was not only stunning but also reflected who we are as a couple, which meant the world to us.
We’re so grateful to Cluster for their dedication, passion, and incredible attention to detail. They truly made our wedding day unforgettable, and we would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding planner who cares as much about your day as you do. Thank you for everything, Frankie and team—you made our dream wedding a reality that we will always remember!

Cluster was overall very responsive and organized, which we really appreciated. We had several meetings with Frankie, our wedding day-of coordinator, in the months and weeks leading up to the wedding and everything seemed to go as planned. She was very organized, detail oriented and prompt in responding. We appreciated all the vendor recommendations from Cluster. But then we were informed abruptly three days before the wedding that Frankie had to coordinate another wedding on the same day and we were getting a replacement coordinator. Overall the replacement coordinator was fine and the wedding went very well, but we were quite surprised and bothered by this last minute change. The last thing you want is to meet your coordinator for the first time on the day of the wedding.

We hired Cluster Events for our wedding in Los Angeles, May 2024. We had the pleasure of working with Frankie starting from February 2024. We had our venue and a couple of our vendors already booked around that time. So we needed the most help with the rest of the planning process, suggestions for some of the remaining vendors and driving it to the finish line on the wedding day. Frankie guided us throughout the whole process and recommended great vendors for us. She went out of her way to fix a mishap with our beauty vendor. She is extremely organized and detail oriented. She took over most of the communication with the venue and our vendors and kept us on track all the way to our wedding day.
The wedding day was executed smoothly. We were able to let loose of control & planning and relax into the day. We got great feedback from our guests about the overall flow and how well it was organized. Yes, there were minor changes in the timeline to keep us on schedule and we noticed minor issues but those didn't take away from how well the whole event was executed.
Additionally, they were able to offer rentals from their inventory free of charge to help with some of the wedding items. We also appreciated their transparency with fees. We initially paid for an additional hour of coordination services upfront but the Cluster Team was able to wrap up early and refunded us right after the wedding.
We are grateful for all their hard work, dedication and professionalism. Thanks again Frankie & Team!

We hired Cluster Events as our wedding coordinators for our 2024 wedding and they were simply wonderful! From the beginning they made us feel like they had everything under control and kindly answered our many questions throughout the entire planning process. I had the pleasure of working with Frankie and Amanda and they are wedding superstars! In the months leading up to our wedding, it felt like there were a million details but they were there helping every step of the way and thinking of everything! The day of was actually perfect! Amanda made sure everything ran smoothly, it was completely seamless. Our guests keep saying how beautiful and smoothly everything ran, and hands down that was because of the amazing Cluster Events team. We are so grateful for their partnership in making our wedding day so special.

We had the pleasure of working with Morgan from Cluster and cannot say enough good things about her and the entire company. From day 1, Cluster stood out to us -- they truly wanted to get to know us as a couple and make sure that we were on the same page. Once the wedding got closer, Morgan really jumped in and took away ALL of our stress. She seamlessly integrated all of our vendors, created a minute-by-minute timeline, managed our bridal party, and more... all while making sure we were having FUN and enjoying the whole process!! Once the wedding weekend rolled around, Morgan (again) took all of our stress away. Multiple of our guests commented on how smoothly everything was running (thanks to her amazing timeline) and said there was never any confusion on their side. On wedding day, Morgan effortlessly managed all of our vendors and guests. The space was absolutely stunning and she kept everything on track down to the minute. We always were fed, had a drink in our hand, and were having a great time. I could go on and on -- but, will say that you will NOT regret booking Morgan and Cluster events to help you on your big day!!! I would recommend this company to anyone.

From the very first meeting to the final moments of our big day, Morgan (and the whole Cluster Events team) was an absolute rockstar. We are beyond grateful for her incredible energy, talent, and dedication that made our wedding not only beautiful but also a seamless, unforgettable garden party!
Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but with Morgan, the entire process was a joy. Her calm and patient presence kept us on track, even when decisions were tough (and I am the queen of indecision!). Morgan's exceptional organizational skills and calm demeanor under pressure were invaluable, ensuring every detail was perfect. Her design suggestions were spot on, and she handled our numerous requests and changes with grace and a smile. Morgan's spreadsheet wizardry and Canva skills were impressive, and all of her vendor recommendations matched our vibe perfectly.
Morgan expertly handled all communication, contracts, and budget with our vendors, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience for us. She was incredibly organized, keeping us informed every step of the way and managing every detail with precision. Morgan's clear and timely communication ensured that all our vendors were on the same page, and her meticulous attention to contracts guaranteed that there were no surprises or last-minute issues. She was also a master at budgeting, helping us allocate our funds wisely without ever compromising on the quality or vision of our wedding. Her ability to negotiate and manage vendor relationships was truly impressive, making the entire planning process seamless and enjoyable.
When I suffered a serious medical event during the planning process, Morgan's support was nothing short of extraordinary. She immediately stepped in, taking on additional responsibilities to ensure that everything stayed on track without causing me any added stress. Morgan's calm and compassionate demeanor provided immense comfort during this challenging time. She managed all the necessary adjustments with our timeline and vendors, keeping everyone informed and seamlessly handling any issues that arose. Her unwavering dedication and empathy allowed me to focus on my recovery, knowing that our wedding plans were in the best possible hands. Morgan's support went above and beyond, and we are deeply grateful for her incredible care and professionalism.
Every guest has raved about the thoughtful details—from personalized menus to the cozy blankets and matchbooks. Morgan’s hard work and commitment to making our wedding day unforgettable did not go unnoticed. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her guiding us through this journey, making it such a joyous experience.
We would also like to give special thanks to the other Cluster team members who were there with Morgan on the day of our wedding - Michelle and Carolina are ALSO rockstars!
We cannot say enough kind things about Morgan and the team at Cluster Events for bringing our vision to life beyond our wildest dreams! We will forever cherish the memories of our special day. We can't wait to recommend you to everyone we know!

We found Frankie and team by searching venues we love in LA and seeing the style, size and look of weddings that felt like they may be similar to ours.
From the first email, the Cluster team was available and invested in learning all details to date and yet-to-land and lended a hand in creating calendars, budgets, and other organizational tools to keep my husband and I on task and ahead of the curve.
It was clear that for them, no detail was too small, and they took everything in to make sure they could execute the vision the day-of. I arrived the afternoon of my wedding at ease and confident it would all go smoothly - and it did, truly! Guests even remarked how sweet and wonderful Frankie was and how "on top of it" she was all night. The moment a glass fell on the dance floor, she was there sweeping it up. Liquor was getting low - she made sure more was on the way. Everything looked incredible - but most importantly - felt SO easy, which allowed us to be present and have the best day ever.
So grateful! 10/10 recommend to anyone looking to have the best, most seamless and ~fun~ wedding ever!

Frankie and Julia were the perfect team. The months leading up to the event, they emailed consistently and gathered all the vendors and details of the event. The week leading up to the proposal, they organized a call and hashed out the small details. The day of the event, I received ZERO texts or calls because they handled everything so PERFECTLY for me. I felt consistent support from the team, and they were responsive via email and text, no as was too small for this team. I really appreciate for making my proposal a dream proposal, and truly the surprise of a lifetime for me and my fiance.

We are so happy we went with Cluster Events for our wedding! Frankie was super thorough and on top of things and it was so helpful to have a coordinator who had worked at our venue ( Calamigos ranch) and who had a list of her own preferred vendors who were also already familiar with working at our venue! Frankie made sure everything ran smoothly during the rehearsal and on the big day and was always just a phone call or text away in the months leading up to answer all of our questions! Outside of the professionalism Frankie was just overall lovely to be around and so friendly and sweet!

Morgan was INCREDIBLE. We went with the 'day of planning' package, so we did the planning and Morgan executed it, flawlessly. She helped us make sure we were set up fully so we didn't have to think of a thing day of, except to enjoy ourselves. She is such a pro, so fun to work with, great at communicating, and incredibly reliable. We couldn't recommend her enough.

I cannot speak highly enough of Morgan and Cluster Events. We hired Cluster for their partial planning services and they went beyond the extra mile for us. From our first meeting, we knew Cluster was the right choice for us. We received checklists, spreadsheets, and budgeting materials to help make the planning process MUCH easier. We mostly stuck with vendors from their recommendation lists and they did not disappoint. Our wedding day was an absolute dream come true and Morgan was a huge part in that. She understood all the little details that add up to a big impact and kept all of our vendors coordinated. She even understood the nuances of a Jewish wedding that we feared might be overlooked. I'd give her more stars if I could - don't sleep on Cluster!

We can't recommend Cluster enough! Frankie was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. She's extremely detail oriented and truly thought of every little detail we otherwise would've let slip through the cracks. Thanks to her we were blessed with a wedding that went off without a single error.
I am a highly picky person who was having an unconventional wedding. Frankie was able to adapt to all of our needs. Once again, couldn't recommend enough!

Best Decision We Ever Made!
How do you pick a wedding planner? We had no idea, and decided to use cluster events because we liked their website design - and boy did we make the right choice! Right from the start Morgan and Frankie were wonderful to work with and their ideas, guidance and creativity opened our eyes to decisions, designs and details we would never have ironed out on our own.
With her expertise, Morgan happily took our Pinterest board and idea for a non-traditional wedding and ran with it. We couldn’t have been happier with the result - the attention to detail and vendor recommendations were spot on and the execution was smooth & flawless. Everything was exactly how we wanted it to look.
We don’t really know what else to say, but if you’re debating whether to hire this wonderful team… the answer should be YES! They’ll help you set a realistic budget, and provide options to help you stick to it. Morgan’s ability to understand what we wanted and to roll with the punches when we changed our mind made our journey so much easier. Weddings are stressful, and having calm, helpful people around is invaluable, so having a rockstar in charge who is also easy to get along with was amazing! ZERO STRESS, JUST EXCITEMENT!
The amount of wonderful comments we received our wedding day (and still weeks after) was overwhelming, and that’s all thanks to Morgan at Cluster Events. The day ran so smoothly, not 1 hiccup, and her team of pros were there the whole time and continuously making sure everything was perfect. We could go on and on, and can’t say enough good things about this wonderful company - THANK YOU to Cluster Events for making our wedding unforgettable!

We are incredibly thankful for the exceptional wedding planning services provided by Cluster Events. Led by Frankie Podrat, the team demonstrated utmost professionalism, creativity, and financial savvy throughout the entire process. Despite the challenges of finding support in Southern California, particularly in San Diego, Cluster Events exceeded our expectations and offered great value compared to other planners. They guided us every step of the way, consistently impressing us and our loved ones with the unforgettable event they crafted. We wholeheartedly recommend Cluster Events – they truly deserve an 11/10 rating.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Frankie from Hey Cluster as our wedding coordinator, and I cannot express enough how incredible she made our entire experience. From the moment we met Frankie, we knew we were in good hands.
Throughout the 3 months prior to our wedding, Frankie was an absolute lifesaver. Especially with executing our unconventional "sneaker ball" cocktail party wedding reception with fun food stations. She took care of every single detail with such precision and care, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. From coordinating vendors to helping us with printing small signs and pictures, Frankie went above and beyond to make sure our day was absolutely perfect.
Thanks to Frankie's expertise and dedication, my husband and I were able to relax and truly enjoy our wedding day without worrying about a single thing. Wedding days go by quickly and can be overwhelming. However, Frankie made sure that my husband and I were given private moments together during the day to take a break from photos, have a bite to eat, and share time with just the two of us.
What truly sets Frankie apart is her unwavering professionalism combined with her infectious personality. Not only was she incredibly organized and efficient, but she also made the entire process fun and enjoyable for us. Saying goodbye to Frankie after our wedding and reception was bittersweet - she had become more than just our coordinator; she felt like a friend.
I cannot recommend Frankie and Hey Cluster highly enough to any couple looking for a wedding coordinator and/or who will not only meet but exceed their expectations. Frankie, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding day the most magical and memorable day of our lives. We are forever grateful for everything you did for us!

Morgan and Frankie are amazing!! Morgan and her assistant, Michelle, handled everything like rockstars on my wedding day. My venue wasn’t the most accommodating, but Morgan and her team picked up the slack and made our day incredible! They handled things I didn’t even know could be problematic. Even with rain and last minute changes outside of our control. I can’t say enough good things about Cluster and how professional, knowledgeable and prepared everyone was from beginning to end. If you are getting married or having an event, you NEED Cluster!

Hiring Cluster was the absolute best decision that we made. Wedding planning can be very stressful, however, Frankie and Morgan made our lives SO easy. We hired Cluster for their full service package which means they took care of pretty much everything. I was rarely stressed. Dare I say that wedding planning was actually fun!!? On the day of my wedding I was calm, carefree, and honestly just so excited to see all of the details come to life. The Cluster team went above and beyond in pretty much every single aspect of our wedding from planning, vendor meetings, to day of. My advice to all future brides, book Cluster for full service. You will not regret it.
Frankie was our point person and we loved working with her. She was always there to keep us organized, provide advice, and help bring our wedding vision to life. She is solutions oriented and is always ready to trouble shoot. She pulled together an incredible vendor team for our day and managed vendor relationships when I did not have the bandwidth. My favorite part about working with Frankie was her ability to take my idea and then take it to the next level. She is a true visionary and she elevated our wedding. It went from Pinterest board to Bridal Vogue!!! I am not kidding. My wedding was beyond my wildest expectations. Frankie knows how to stretch a dollar for maximum impact. Frankie was an absolute joy to work with, we were so lucky to have her apart of our special day.

We LOVE Frankie ! We hired Cluster as our full service event planner for my daughter's wedding which we celebrated just a few weeks ago. My daughter and I worked closely with Frankie for over a year planning the wedding of her dreams and Frankie delivered!! It was EPIC, we are still receiving calls and texts from our guest letting us know that this was the BEST wedding they have ever attended. Everything was perfect, the attention to details from the flowers, to the linens, the flatware, the glassware, I could go on and on. Every vendor that she referred, from the photographer to the band and everyone else in between. was top notch. It was truly such a pleasure working with Frankie from start to finish she listened to what our vision was and just added to it. Frankie is so kind and so supportive but also so organized and so professional. A huge thank you to Frankie and the entire team at Cluster we could have never done this without you.

Michelle, and the team at Cluster, was more than amazing! The best thing I did when planning my wedding was hire Cluster. It was the best decision, because Michelle paid close attention to all of the small details, and took care of everything the day of. Not only that, but she did a lot of heavy lifting with vendors, which was such a relief on my mental load. I am very grateful for their experience and professionalism, and I would highly recommend them to anyone who asks!

Morgan was literally a dream to work with and I want her to be my friend. The Cluster team are experts at what they do -- Morgan was able to negotiate everything we wanted (and get us discounts!!!), and was just a joy to have at the wedding and at all the prep leading up to it. Would highly recommend!

Working with Frankie at Cluster was nothing short of amazing. Planning a wedding is stressful but Frankie was incredibly organized, communicative, and helpful when making decisions which really helped to keep us on track. She also has such a lovely personality - I genuinely loved working with her.
The day of the wedding there were a few last minute snafus (I forgot my veil, guest shuttles got stuck in traffic) but Frankie kept cool and helped keep everything moving along smoothly. I also got a ton of unsolicited kudos from other vendors that they loved working with her - icing on the cake!

We found Cluster Events from our preferred vendor list from our venue and we could not be more thankful that we did! While Morgan was our primary coordinator and contact from the Cluster team, we had the pleasure of working with both Morgan and Frankie during our planning process and we can confidently say you are in great hands with either!
Morgan was our “day of” coordinator, but as Morgan and Frankie explained on our very first call together, “day of” coordinating doesn’t mean they just show up at the last minute and execute things the day-of, they were there every step of the way the last few months of our engagement to make sure every detail was accounted for and that our wedding day was as seamless and perfect as possible.
Morgan was so helpful and always seemed to have the right answers, whether we were wavering on an idea and wanted to know if that idea would work well or not, or pushing our venue or vendors to just go that little bit further for us to make our wedding the most amazing event ever from start to finish – she was always there giving great advice and advocating for us. Morgan is very organized and professional – the planning process was incredibly smooth and the wedding weekend went off without a single hitch, or if there were any we had absolutely ZERO clue which is the calling card of an amazing coordinator.

We hired Cluster for month-of coordination (which was really two months) and absolutely couldn't have asked for a better experience! Morgan was super responsive to our questions even well before our official time started, and the handoff to Meghan was seamless. Meghan attended our venue's open house in Feb and sent a ton of notes and photos even though our wedding was in October. When August rolled around, she was so organized and thought of all the little details we would have otherwise missed. During the event itself, Meghan was a wonderful stress absorber and handled EVERYTHING with ease! Despite my type A over-thinking tendencies, we 100% trusted Meghan to take care of us so we could fully relax. We could rave about Meghan and Cluster forever!

Cluster Events really helped us coordinate our day of and get what we planned set up on our wedding day. We planned and designed the wedding and handed off to Cluster for them to help handle Month of Planning. We were able to start some discussions at the 90 day mark and got our timeline really figured out at the 60 day mark. I did a lot of the decor DIY and Cluster was able to set up everything I made with an additional assistant, since we had a few decors that needed setup. The wedding turned out beautifully!

Frankie and Morgan are PROS. They played an instrumental role in bringing our dream wedding to life. Couldn't have done it without them. They were super organized and transparent throughout the entire process which makes working with them a breeze. Throughout planning, it was such a stress relief to have people we could rely on and trust to make sure nothing was overlooked or missed. On the wedding day, we got so many compliments about now smoothly everything flowed and how Frankie brought a calmness to the day. Cannot recommend Cluster enough!

We reached out to numerous wedding planners in search of the best fit for our personalities. With most of our guests (including us) traveling from out of town, we were determined to find a team well-versed in the LA area and capable of aligning local vendors with our budget and venue. Of all the planners we contacted, only Cluster Events arranged a video call for our initial meeting, and it was this personal touch that drew us toward them. Their genuine excitement for our wedding day matched our own, and they assured us that they would go above and beyond to bring our vision to life. Entrusting Cluster Events with our wedding planning was one of the most rewarding choices we made during the entire process.
Morgan consistently offered her valuable insights and opinions without hesitation, even when we bombarded her with emails, texts, and calls all on the same day. She made a special effort to connect us with vendors who perfectly matched our personality, wedding venue aesthetics, and budget constraints. On our wedding day, Morgan ensured that Dave and I were continually looked after, often anticipating our needs before we had a chance to ask. She was professional, organized, adaptable, and a really kind person. We genuinely couldn't have asked for a more dedicated and skilled wedding planner. My heartfelt THANK YOU goes out to Morgan and her team for turning our dream wedding into an unforgettable reality!

Hiring Cluster Events for our wedding coordination was by far the best choice we made out of the entire other million wedding decisions made. As a business owner, I know quality teammates when I encounter them. Morgan Pine at Cluster is the best quality you will find. If she wasn't so passionate about weddings, I would hire her for head of operations at my company! We had a number of issues come up two weeks before our wedding including a venue change, rain in the weather forecast (we had an all outdoor venue), and new complicated shuttle/parking requirements for guests. Morgan dealt with each complication with the utmost grace, calm, and seeming ease. Yes, she is brilliant and a great creative problem solver. But the thing that really put her in the field of excellence for me was when we were trying to navigate where to have our Ceremony after the venue change occurred. One option would have been much more logistically easy for her. When I asked for her opinion, she said with a gentle and wise smile, "I can't answer that for you. It's entirely your decision." Working with Morgan, there was never any push towards fulfilling her agenda. She truly is of-service to her clients. She is looking to create your best wedding experience and is at the ready to help it come to fruition. You are blessed (and so are all of your guests) if you get the chance to work with Cluster Events.

We worked with Frankie at Cluster for our September wedding and could not have done it without her. Everything was so seamless and she made the whole planning process stress-free. I love how her team was so coordinated leading up to the wedding with all of the vendors and it truly allowed my husband and I to focus on and enjoy our wedding. It was truly a pleasure working with her team!

The planners of Cluster Events are incredible. We feel so lucky to have had Frankie as our wedding coordinator! From our initial consulting sessions to the planning process to the big day itself, everything went smoothly as soon as Frankie got involved. Our wedding had the potential to be a challenge to pull off, with many custom details, a unique venue (private residence), and extremely challenging family dynamics, but none of that was a problem with Frankie as our guide. Her technical expertise, impeccable design skills, great vendor relationships, excellent organization, and unflappable, calm (yet fun!) attitude carried us through the planning process and kept us on the right track throughout. And on the day of the wedding, her strong direction and preparation made sure the day was flawless, and that we (and our guests) truly had the most fun night of our lives! We’re so thankful we hired Cluster Events for our special day, and we will be recommending them to all our friends and family.

Michelle and the team were great from the moment we started planning with them about 3 months out. Our wedding day went off without a hitch and I attribute that to Michelle's very thorough timeline---filled with crucial details I would've never thought of---as well as her diligence in coordinating with all of our vendors, prep calls, and great ideas! Would definitely recommend Cluster Events and Michelle for your big day.

As an events DJ, it is CRUCIAL to have a planner who is organized, detailed, and supportive throughout the entire time leading up to and on to the event. I worked a wedding with Michelle U. and she absolutely crushed it!
She made my work as a DJ seamless and she answered any and all my questions to ensure I had everything that I need. Definitley recommend her and her team!

Where can I even start with how amazing Cluster is? We had the pleasure of having Frankie as our wedding coordinator and words cannot describe how impressive she is - but I will sure try!
To start - she immediately put us at ease and helped steer us as we ventured into planning our quirky, weird wedding. There was a lot of DIY that we were incorporating and not only did Frankie set everything up beautifully but she also vastly improved the things we made that weren't quite working! She felt like the fairy godmother we always wanted and helped us create such a magical night that we'll remember for the rest of our lives. Plus - all of our friends and family loved her! And some of them aren't easy to please...
Cluster is simply the best!

Absolutely incredible. We went to Cluster because our friend recommended them. We made the right choice...our Santa Barbara beach wedding was perfection because of Frankie and the team at Cluster Events. Michelle was there to help the day of our wedding and was excellent too. I can't recommend them enough. Frankie is so easy to talk to and bounce ideas off of. She has such a calming presence in a sometimes chaotic life event of a wedding. All our friends, family and people involved in the wedding were raving about them as well. They went the extra mile every single time without hesitation. They made our special day so easy. It was a lifesaver having Cluster and Frankie to lean on. If you are thinking of getting them as a planner - DO IT. It relieved so much stress and anxiety not having to deal with the noise. We love Cluster!!!

We want to thank Morgan and Frankie for helping to make our wedding dreams come true. They were with us from day one to make our plans a reality. To handle challenges and unforeseen obstacles, and to make the overall process stress free, enjoyable, and exciting as it possibly could have been. Their professionalism, vendor relationships, and general on-top-of-it-ness proved to be invaluable for us in our planning and we highly recommend Cluster for anyone needing wedding coordinators to make their dream wedding come true!

You simply cannot find a better wedding coordinator than Cluster Events. We had the pleasure of working with Frankie during our engagement and immediately we knew she was the perfect fit. She is so talented at what she does - she made the entire process so seamless and stress-free and executed a genuinely perfect day. We had multiple guests comment on how flawlessly it all seemed to run, and while there are always hiccups during events, Frankie handled them with grace and ease and in almost every case, I had no idea they'd even happened. From coordinating all of our vendors to making sure my dress was bustled to sewing my maid-of-honor's dress after the hem split right before the ceremony, she truly did it all. And, most importantly, she's just a gem of a person. Easy-going,
supportive, communicative, and just so, so kind. We could not recommend her more highly!!!

Frankie and Morgan are incredibly talented, stylish, professional, and downright delightful humans. We worked most closely with Frankie throughout the wedding planning process and not only did she make the process not stressful she made it fun! We always felt heard - Frankie helped us hone our vision and connected us with incredible vendors who made every aspect of the event even more amazing than we could have imagined. Cluster helped us to stay realistic about our budget throughout the process, while at no point did they make us feel like something was out of reach or undoable. The day of our wedding we were able to be completely in the moment and celebrate with our loved ones. Countless guests told us it was the best food, band, flowers, and wedding they had ever tasted, heard, and seen. We're forever grateful to Frankie and the team for planning such a memorable day!

Cluster Events did a fantastic job in helping us execute our wedding! Though we were only formally contracted for day of coordination activities, we felt that we received much more care and attention months before that and beyond the value expected. Morgan was timely, attentive, and helped us to "roll with the punches" whenever we encountered them along the way. I also fully appreciated Morgan's calm and can-do aura throughout the process. Both Morgan and Frankie were all in from our initial call, which is what initially drew us to them, and it was proven many times to benefit us throughout the process. I would definitely recommend their services (and have already) to anyone looking and wish them all the success in their business because they deserve it! I honestly wish that it didn't have to end with the wedding. Morgan and Frankie are the best!!
(Included a cute picture that the photographer captured of Morgan helping my little niece with her flower crown before the festivities!)

Morgan and the Cluster team were incredible wedding planners. We worked with Morgan over the course of the year prior to our wedding. She stood with us and guided us as the vision and budget for our wedding changed several times in early planning. The team is willing to work with couples with any vision for their wedding and any budget. We, our families, and bridal party were all so grateful to have Morgan's expertise. We had and absolute dream wedding. Several people told us that it was the best run wedding they had ever been to.

Cluster Events were good planners to work with. We were required by our venue to get a planner and they fit our budget. We did their most basic plan where we handled most of the planning and handed things off to them 90 days before the wedding. Overall our wedding was perfect and it was helpful to have someone to manage the minor details of the day for us.

Cluster was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Morgan was professional, on top of everything, and simply amazing to work with. She eliminated all of the stress from the wedding planning process by prioritizing and simplifying the tasks for us. We never had to worry about anything falling through the cracks and were able to quickly trust her fully. She was also a great listener and communicator.
We couldn't have had our perfect wedding without Morgan and can't wait to recommend Cluster to our friends who are looking to plan a wedding soon. Thank you guys!

Morgan from Cluster was a life saver. She not only found & recommended amazing vendors but also made sure every detail was thought through and executed flawlessly while keeping us sane throughout. We’ve gotten so many compliments from decor to florals to catering. Last but not least, she made sure that we had time with each other throughout the night as well. Hands down, working with Cluster was the best decision my now husband and I did for our wedding.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Cluster Events! We had the pleasure of working with Frankie and Morgan using their full-service wedding package and it was worth every single penny. My husband and I have very stressful and time-consuming jobs, so it was important for us to find a planner that would stay on top of things. We also have very eclectic tastes and wanted to find a planner that would collaborate with us on the style/design choices and have fun executing some of our outside-the-box ideas. Frankie was all of those things and more! Stylistically, she was able to walk the line between funky/boho but timeless/classy, and NEVER strayed into kitschy cookie-cutter-wedding territory. We had a lot of different elements we wanted to incorporate from both our cultural and musical backgrounds — from folk dancers, to retro hippie fest elements, and even metal/rock touches — and Frankie was always down to find creative ways to bring our crazy vision to life with a smile.
Frankie also has strong connections in the wedding industry, and she was able to connect us with wonderful vendors that all worked together to make our dream wedding come true. She was very responsive at every step of the planning process and was willing to hop on the phone whenever we felt like we needed to chat things through (I am admittedly a pretty picky person—so I very much appreciated the ability to hop on the phone to talk through details!).
It was so awesome to see the culmination of this hard work spring to life on our wedding day, when we finally got to let loose and enjoy our special day knowing that Frankie had everything under control! We even had family and friends come up to us to tell us how awesome Frankie was, whether it was queuing up toasts or working out bridal party logistics for photos—she was on it!
I would highly recommend Cluster Events if you are looking for wedding planners that will tirelessly work with you throughout every step of the planning process and will feel like collaborators in the design process with a positive attitude and no-task-too-small mentality!
