Our wedding was at a private estate during a pandemic, which poses its own challenges in itself. Communication really got started about 2 months before before the wedding day; however, we opted for the 6 month day of coordination package. Didn’...

Wedding day presented many challenges, weather, catering, etc. but there were some oversights that definitely should not have been missed. Michaela is a very knowledgeable and friendly coordinator and was very nice.

Response from the Vendor on 06/20/2021

Hi Amanda, I was heartbroken to read your review last night. I was unaware that you did not feel supported during parts of the planning process and wish we could have had a conversation about that to fix things before the big day! The package...

you selected was an extended day of coordination package with unlimited communication and only two walkthroughs. For a private estate wedding, partial or full planning are almost always necessary for a flawless event and I feel you may have had the support you were looking for with one of those packages instead. Poor reviews are detrimental for small businesses like mine especially now; post pandemic, so I think it’s important to address the issues that were over looked. The big one being catering. A professional caterer was not hired. A catering order was placed with a local BBQ restaurant and when you hired me on they were bringing staff and serving the food. Only a couple months prior to the event, in the midst of Covid, that changed. On top of that, as you know, the chef at the restaurant was extremely difficult to get ahold of and many of the urgent questions I had for him were not answered until after all of our details had been finalized. More staff was needed and tray passed apps should not have been ordered with a large catering order that was being delivered (and not being kept warm in a large oven). I over looked the timing of the apps in an effort to keep the main meal warm. I am not nor have I ever been a caterer, I’m a coordinator, which is why hiring a professional caterer to handle catering related details is essential because the problems that can arise can heavily impact the event. The staff we did have worked harder than I have ever seen a temporary event staff work and two even stayed later than they were scheduled. I personally paid them extra and did not bring this up to you on or after your wedding day. We were so fortunate to have the people that we did have that day and I apologize for not suggesting more staff. I was an hour late to the rehearsal. It took me nearly 4 hours to drive from LA and I had only accounted for a single buffer hour. There were three major accidents along the way so there wasn’t much I could do about it personally. I do apologize for any negative impact that had on the rehearsal for you. As for weather, even if you had ordered more heaters it would not have kept guests warm with the wind. Unfortunately that is the nature of having an outdoor wedding. The weather is unpredictable and out of our control. Ultimately I’m so glad you and Danny had a good time at your wedding despite the challenges that were presented. Your guests and bridal party were so fun and I know you had a blast dancing at the end of the night. I wish you both nothing but the best in your marriage together 💕 Michaela

Aside, from family, Michaela was one of the first people there to reach out to help us navigate all of the confusion and disappointment. Part of that yes, it’s her job, but it’s also the type of person she is. She’s there rain or shine, trouble or perfection, with a smile on her face because she cares, and she cares deeply. Going into this new year I could not imagine having anyone else help with our special day.

dors had already been selected for my daughter’s wedding...but then it was postponed. Three weeks before the original wedding date the bride and groom decided to go forward with a much smallerwedding which nevertheless still required last minute planning and coordination. Luckily, my daughter had chosen Michaela to run the show months prior. Michaela was very confident in the planning and execution and also eased my concerns as well. She is very familiar with the venue as she has worked at Callaway Vineyard many times and had great relationships there. Even for a small wedding, a rehearsal is important so everyone knows where to be and when and Michaela took full charge of direction and guidance with ease, wit and grace. Even though the cast of characters were small in numbers there was so much going on that weekend. Michaela stayed at least one step ahead of what needed to be done and on the day of the wedding I was buffeted from any kind of questions like what, when or how. I was so thoroughly enjoying the wedding day in every aspect of every moment thanks to Michaela’s leadership handling hiccups that inevitabley happen. She is so competent that I did not hear one minor murmur of misstep by a vendor until the day after. I am forever grateful that Michaela was chosen by my daughter and son-in-law to helm this ship as I’ve heard some nightmare stories from my friends’ daughters’ wedding day marred memories. My memory will always be of a wedding perfect in beauty, romance and intimacy and delivered so much hope and love in such a year as this.

On the day of we are still not sure if anything went wrong because if it did it was handled before it ever got to us. Our wedding was perfect and I know Michaela had a huge hand in that!

itude being so bright and positive was exactly the kind of energy we were looking for (not to mention her extensive experience and knowledge of our venue - Callaway Vineyard and Winery). As 2020 progressed and the world changed she made sure to keep us informed of what was happening, what other couples were doing and reassured us that no matter what happened it would be ok and everything would work out. We decided to postpone and then changed our minds again and decided to go through with a minimony one month before our wedding. This curve ball did not phase Michaela one bit. She jumped in feet first and helped us navigate the stress and details of changing a 140 person wedding into a 24 person wedding in 3 weeks. It ended up being the best decision we made (besides hiring Michaela). We had the most perfect day and she helped our vision come to life. I honestly had no stress or worries day of, and neither did the bridal party or parents. If there is one piece of advice I would give a future bride, it would be to hire Michaela!

remark how absolutely wonderful, fun, perfect, and smooth our special day was! I happened to find Michaela by chance via Instagram about a year before our wedding date and it was the best thing that could have happened. I inquired about her services and she was very prompt with her responses. We set up a phone call to review exactly what I was looking for in a planner and for my wedding experience. She was the absolute sweetest and was very honest, which I loved. Needless to say I was hooked and could immediately sense that my wedding was going to be in GREAT hands. During our first in person meeting Michaela took the time to get to know my husband and I and really listened to what we envisioned for our big day. With not living very close to the venue we chose, I had no idea where to begin when it came to choosing vendors. Michaela was very helpful in finding us the best vendors that fit with our personalities and fulfilled what we valued most. She was very honest about each vendor she recommended with pros and cons for each so we could make the best possible choice on who we wanted to hire. Michaela handled the communication with each vendor we hired including our venue and even created individual timelines specific to each vendor for the day of...like WOW! She provides planning tools along with a professional wedding planing site that kept us on time and organized throughout the entire process. From budgeting tools to timelines to inspirational boards and so much mores, the planning tools she provides are top notch. While all of the above mentioned was fantastic and very helpful, words can’t even begin to express the VALUE of having her there the day of. Venue coordinators are great, but they are on the venues team, while Michaela is on your team and does what is in your best interest as the Bride and Groom. Her attention to detail is impeccable and knowing that she had everything under control allowed me to stay calm, enjoy and be present throughout the entire day.

I arrived for our first look, it was just beautiful and so very memorable. I can't thank her enough for being patient with me when I asked a million questions and needed help planning from left to right. Michaela and Lorimar staff know how to throw spectacular weddings!

We met Michaela a month before our wedding due to a sudden change of coordinator plans. At first I was so nervous and it was truly the best thing to happen to us! Even from our first conversation I felt at ease right away, then once we met with...

her I knew we were dealing with a real professional. She asked questions no one else had as far as details for the big day and she had an answer for every question and request. In addition she was super personable and sweet. Our big day was exactly what I thought it would be, everything was smooth and perfect and she missed no details. She did not hesitate to have flexibility with her schedule and she gave both the bride and groom her full effort and attention. The best, thank you!

If you want your dream wedding then book Michaela ASAP. I can't even begin to describe how many ways she made my entire wedding experience a dream come true. I met her for my details meeting and she was so helpful, full of suggestions and ideas...

to make the most of our particular vision and wedding size. She was on top of all communication from that point forward and was able to answer every last question I had with the utmost patience. During our rehearsal she was able to lead and direct while still keeping it fun and super informative. Again, she had so many helpful suggestions and ideas. The day of she was literally a miracle worker. No matter what issue arose she was able to tackle it without even breaking a sweat. She was not only completely professional, she was also fun to have around and only added to the overall experience. I swear I literally have no idea how the heck she made it all happen because we had overlooked several things and no one had any idea. Magical Michaela somehow made it all work beautifully. I lost count of how many people told me it was the best wedding they had ever been to and I totally attribute that to her. Book her now!

I will be forever grateful to Michaela for making my daughter’s wedding unforgettable. I don’t think it could ‘ve happened as smoothly without her. She is not only extremely professional and efficient, but also has a beautiful personality, and...

“can do” attitude. There wasn’t anything she couldn’t tackle, no matter what was thrown her way, and always with a smile on her face. It was such a pleasure to work with someone who was willing to go above and beyond expectations. The day of the wedding, there were several things that were overlooked by me as I was busy helping my daughter get ready, and Michaela was always right there to save the day. Talk about planning, organization, follow through, problem solving, stress management, improvisation; those are just a few of the amazing skills she possesses. The whole event was handled seamlessly by her, including guest seating, venue table arrangements, barrel room and cake décor, D.J. coordination, keeping us on track, etc.. She contacted every vendor before the wedding to make sure they were all ready to go. Having her at the wedding, working behind the scenes, enabled both my daughter and I to relax and enjoy the wedding right along with her guests. She helped create a beautiful event that will be a lasting, wonderful memory for our family and friends. I cannot recommend Michaela highly enough. Thank you Michaela for everything you did to make my daughter's wedding perfect!
