Create Events

nd beyond just the day-of. I planned my wedding from Chicago (wedding was in Carlsbad, CA), so it was quite stressful but I had most of my vendors already chosen. I just knew I needed help the day of because we had 250 guests and two locations. Monica and Brittany met with me two different times when I traveled to Carlsbad to meet with our venues/florists etc. Each time they were very professional and always on top of everything. Between then, I asked for advice on certain wedding decor and ideas and Monica responded very quickly and gave great advice. The day of our wedding Brittany was very efficient and so calm while directing everyone! She had 3 others with her due to our large group and multiple locations (ceremony and reception were at different venues). Our bridesmaids and groomsmen actually commented how great they were directing everyone and making sure everything ran smoothly. And trust me... My large family is crazy and loud. So trying to handle everyone is probably a headache in itself. Long story short... Hire them. You won't be disappointed! They're so great- honestly. Thank you Create Events for making our wedding run smoothly and perfect.

ica as our month-of coordinator, but felt like she was still with us for every step in the planning process long before that. She was so responsive and easy to work with, and really helped outline the process for us to stay organized for the big day. On the day of the wedding, she and her team handled EVERYTHING flawlessly. They helped decorate the cake with the florals left by my florist (and it looked INCREDIBLE), made sure everything was perfect, and even ran out to buy an extra case of white wine for us when it ran out (hazards of stocking the bar yourself). As a bride, I felt so at ease the entire day and never once felt like something was missing or that something wasn't being handled. To this day, my mom still talks about what an amazing asset Monica was to our wedding and planning process. Monica and her team made sure we had the most perfect day (and we did!), and I would highly recommend her to ANYONE looking for a planner/coordinator! <3

ever spent. They showed up early, were extremely organized, and continued to make me feel calm and reassured throughout the entire day. I loved how my husband and I would get updates through her assistants, and we were never left in the dark. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for the best service, while also not breaking the bank!

t the time and hired Monica for the Partial Planning Package. She helped us pick the best vendors and was a great source of support throughout the wedding process. She was always quick to respond and offer advice and input as we needed. She had great knowledge of our venue and was able to provide insight (we had not seen our venue, so her expertise was appreciated). Monica and her team also provided amazing day of coordination. Everything was perfect and my husband and I could enjoy our big day to the fullest. We would highly recommend Monica to every bride.

taking a lot of the tedious legwork on herself. I am a very laid back bride and my husband, Mr. Groom, is more so. Monica took our style, our budget and made wonderful suggestions. She would give us her opinion when we asked or didn’t have one our selves, which was very helpful too! The day of, we cannot commend Monica and her team enough. We did not have to worry about a thing. They we’re busy making sure the entire day was perfect. They also did an amazing job staying one step ahead of our enthusiastic guests and we cannot thank them enough. A bride should not plan a wedding without a planner. More importantly, no one should ever plan a party with Monica & Create Events!

They coordinated the vendors, the guests, the bride and groom gift exchanges, the photographers, video Grapher, etc.. Additionally, they were so knowledgeable and had great recommendations for ways to cut costs, lists of vendors and venues. Can't say enough great things about them, they were invaluable to the success of our wedding and would recommend them to anyone.

verything was beautiful and we received countless compliments on our ceremony and reception, which my wife and I credit completely to Monica and her team. Monica is a consummate professional and we genuinely felt that she always had our best intentions in mind. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a wedding planner, and if I had to rate her from 1 to 10...I would give her a 20. She always made herself available to us and exceeded all of our expectations. She understood our vision and executed every aspect of our wedding flawlessly. I would highly recommend her to any engaged couple! You will NOT be disappointed.

ng planner… Create Events. Throughout the day the team was on point. Two of the ladies checked on us before photos began. They also got us on the limo bus to where the ceremony was being held and made sure the bridal party was very well taken care of. Meanwhile one of the coordinators stayed with the bride and groom to do their photos and make sure everything went according to plan. When we arrived at the Thursday Club (ceremony location) there were two coordinators taking care of all the setup. It looked amazing and when the bride walked into the ceremony site she actually cried and said, “Oh my God! It’s so beautiful!” I know this was something she and the groom were worried about because at the rehearsal they mentioned that they wanted all the red draping covered in white. Both the bride and groom were so happy to see how it turned out! I really thought Monica and her team couldn't out do the ceremony but then we got to the reception and wow! BEST PARTY EVER! The reception area was really decked out! They had a sushi station (which I ate a lot of), an Italian station and a meat carving station. All the food was awesome, the setup of everything looked great and the timing was perfect. We did our entrance, had dinner and got the party started. The bride and groom were so happy with everything. I don’t think I’ve ever heard so many people say, “What an amazing wedding!” “Best wedding ever!” etc. Honestly, when I get married I’m hiring this team. They could pull off anything you want and my wife is going to be stoked. A happy wife means a happy life.

impressed and appreciative of how detailed and comitted not only Monica, but her assistant Maisoon was. They made sure my best friend and her groom had everything they needed and were having a great time from the beginning of the day when hair and make up arrived all the way to exit of reception. Overall, Monica is very thoughtful, comitted and passionate and truly ensured she did all she could to make the day better than anyone could dream!

someone who is organized, energetic and involved, then you may want to look elsewhere. Based on the other Yelp reviews we read prior to our wedding, we were excited to meet with Monica and work with Create Events. However, the great reviews led us to expect a bit more than what we received. The lack of attention-to-detail and absence of enthusiasm made it difficult to review her any higher than 2.5 stars. Our wedding still turned out amazing, but it was all thanks to our amazing team of vendors that we had picked who made it so great.

e of the best decisions we made. As part of our contract with our wedding venue, my husband and I had to hire a professional coordinator. Initially, we weren’t pleased about additional expenses and finding another vendor. However, once we met Monica and saw how professional and friendly she was and learned how much she did, we knew we had to hire her. Monica described her role as more of month-of coordination, but she did even more than that. She was available for all my questions and any advice I needed leading up to the wedding. She also helped me get organized and develop day-of timelines and make sure I had every detail covered. Throughout it all she was my advocate with vendors and the location, making sure what we wanted was most important. The day of the wedding, Monica and her team were on site hours early to make sure everything was in order and to be of help in any way they could. I felt such relief knowing she was there. She handled every problem and details I messed up on, like when my heel broke or when I forgot to include children’s meals for the reception. Monica and her team solved every issue quickly and quietly, with smiles on their faces. I had nothing to worry about. At the end of the evening they had all my DIY elements, the cake, and gifts/cards packed up to help family members that were taking them. Monica’s team really went above and beyond. On top of all their amazing work, Create Events’ prices are so competitive; hiring her was really the easiest decision we made during wedding planning. I respect and appreciate Monica’s philosophy that she wants to be every couple to be able to afford coordination services. Not only does Monica work incredibly hard, she makes it look effortless, she is always smiling, she is professional, and she is friendly and kind. She is the kind of person my husband and I wanted there on our happy wedding day. Her team is the same. Our wedding was so perfect—happy, beautiful and exactly what we envisioned—and I know Monica was a huge part of that. We are so grateful you were a part of our wedding!
