Harmony Creative Studio

to be during COVID and ended up having to get cancelled- but throughout the entire process she has always been the foundation & structure to our entire planning process. If we ever had any doubts or questions, she gave us direction and was able to break things down into a plan so we knew what to expect. She is such an essential resource and part of making a wedding happen -she is organized, esthetic, professional, supportive; everything to make you confident that your day will be the best.

e bags on every plate? Well my wife and I did. We had all these crazy ideas and more. Somehow Margaux and her team at HCS made it happen!! They made our random whims into something beautiful, fun, classy, and completely unique. Many of our friends did their own DIY weddings, but from the start my wife and I knew we wanted some help. Margaux came highly recommended from a friend who's wedding we'd attended and were already impressed by. From our first meeting with Margaux we knew we wanted her in our corner. Every time we met with her we felt better. She made us feel like our dream wedding wasn't some impossible fantasy but rather something concrete and achievable within our budget. There are so many things I would never think of that go into planning a wedding. As they say: "you don't know what you don't know". Luckily Margaux knows it all (and if she doesn't know it, she'll do an incredible amount of research to find it out). She's dedicated to making your wedding the best it can be and, maybe most importantly, everything you want it to be. I know it's the biggest of cliches but thanks to the team at HCS our wedding day was truly the happiest day of my life. I can't imagine having done It without her and given the chance I'd do it all again the same exact way.

he best decision we made. As I’ve told all of my friends, if you want to be able to enjoy your wedding day be sure to hire Margaux for all your planning needs—we honestly don’t know what we would have done without her. Wedding planning can be very overwhelming, especially in the “choice” department, so it was wonderful to have Margaux available to us for all our minutiae questions. We would come to her with a broad strokes outline of what we were looking for in our wedding day and she would return with the perfect series of options we could choose from! She did the legwork so all we had to do was choose “A, B, or C (or D or E etc)” and I cannot stress how easy that made the process! No request is too absurd for her to do the research on—we gave her the herculean task of investigating how practical it would be to have otters at our wedding. Turns out it was indeed possible! It wasn’t AFFORDABLE for us, so we didn’t end up doing it—but Margaux did the work to give us a realistic scope for our ideas hahaha. In terms of design, Margaux has so many brilliant ideas that she comes to the table with to help fill in the gaps of what you haven’t thought of and to incorporate all of your thoughts and whims into an overall vision. We personally don’t know much about flowers, but after meeting with us Margaux helped point us in the right direction for greenery that we couldn’t have chosen better ourselves. Since we’re movie lovers, she pitched having a popcorn bar at our reception which was one of the big hits of the night! And anything we weren’t sold on, we just moved onto the next idea—she brings no ego to the table, just many ideas to workshop. And day of? I cannot overstate how stress free it was to have Margaux on board making sure all the trains ran on time, to navigate the politics of wedding guests and to make sure we lived in the moment (and ATE.) I seriously lost count of the amount of times we said over the past few years “How would we have done this without Margaux?” and the truth is we probably wouldn’t have been able to. So if you want a wedding day that you’ll cherish forever because you were only thinking about how perfect it was and not how stressful it was please hire Margaux!

ed like they were taking a more casual approach and might've even enjoyed the event as much as us. That's a nice thought but we wanted someone who was focused on making it run as smoothly as possible, and put our concerns first. That person was Margaux! This is her business, this is what she does, and she does it well. She had so many pre-existing relationships with our other vendors and helped make our day great. I can only imagine there were dozens of things she dealt without it even reaching the point of us noticing.

at I don't like, but didn't know a ranunculus from a scabiosa, and Margaux made it all work amazingly. She is so organized and professional and totally dialed in to all things wedding. We interviewed many and briefly even had hired someone else and Margaux is a class of her own, so don't bother looking around. Best points: 1) the gift bags - holy moly, this woman and her team went above and beyond. 225 bags filled with some of our whims (individually packed spice bottles) and her awesome ideas (mini succullents). 2) the night of. Neither me or my husband thought about - let alone worried - about any detail that night and could totally enjoy. 3) the network. everyone I hired whom she recommended was awesome. every time i went out on my own, it was less than ideal. Bottom line - she is an expert on all things wedding - and when you come up with some weird whim (family style and a table garland? non traditional photo booth? custom wedding invite that's cheaper than the fancy off-the-racks?) she makes it happen.

a large, open studio space with almost nothing inside - I soon realized I had no idea how to organize/decorate this space in a meaningful way. Going with Margaux was more than worth the investment. She took on the logistics of wedding planning so I could focus on enjoying the fun parts (selecting cake flavors, deciding on the style and palette, etc.). In addition to being extremely attentive to details and a whiz at deciphering vendor contracts, she had a great eye for design and was able to interpret my vision into a cohesive, beautiful presentation on the day of - all while staying within budget. What sets Margaux apart is her ability to always remain calm, even when she's juggling a billion details. She is able to execute a large scale event without making you feel rushed or worried. She gives you space when you need it (my groom and I had some time to chill out after the ceremony), and slips you food when food slips your mind. On our wedding day, she handled business like a boss, coordinating venue setup and vendor deliveries without a hitch. I spent the morning worry-free, just focused on getting ready and taking pictures. By the time I got to the venue in the afternoon, everything was in place as I had imagined. My bridal party also commented on how relaxed she made everyone feel while still keeping them on schedule. Margaux is a planner who is both design savvy and incredibly organized. I highly recommend her if you're looking to enjoy wedding planning - and of course the wedding itself!

r every budget! She's a creative, crafty genius! She took so much off my plate so I could just enjoy being the bride to be. She also took the lead on submitting our wedding story + photos to various wedding blogs/sites to get it featured which was a tiny dream of mine - and it worked! She really listens to what you want out of your dream wedding day and DELIVERS. Highly recommend!

credibly professional and just lovely to be around. Before my husband and I met with her, I was a flipping basket case. I had some idea about what I wanted but no clear direction. Margaux came in and put us on the right path. She is clear with what she needs, remembers everything and is wildly organized. Because of all of her organization and attention to detail, our wedding day went off with out a hitch. I didn't worry about anything; I didn't have to because the team at Harmony Creative Studio took care of everything. We had a family emergency the day of the wedding, that ended with a grandparent having to go to the hospital (FYI grandparent is doing just fine!). Margaux was able to tell me what happened in a very tactful way that left me feeling okay about the situation. She brought calmness and caring to a very stressful situation and I could not imagine having anyone but Margaux see us through that rough patch on our wedding day. So like I said, do yourself a favor, hire Harmony Creative Studio and give yourself a much needed break! Thank you Margaux and Harmony Creative Studio!!!

total boss lady, and eager to have us enjoy the planning process as well as the big day. I could not fathom going through the wedding planning process without her.

just didn't know how to navigate, didn't think about, or thought were outside of what I could deal with but with Margaux on my side, everything went smoothly. She had great recommendations for vendors and found an awesome location (The Larchmont in Hollywood) that was just right for us. I would never have come across it on my own. Best of all she was an intermediary between me and those vendors when there were things that were confusing, and keep them on target.

about it, the best decision we made when it came to our wedding. We hired Margaux right as we wrapped up the venue search and she made sure that the rest of the wedding was the most fun experience imaginable! She knows all the most amazing vendors, has an incredible ability to make really obscure, high-level thoughts into reality and is absolutely a pleasure to work with. Every time we would start getting stressed, Margaux would be there to save the day. We had such a fun wedding planning experience because of Margaux! On the day of the wedding everything was actually FLAWLESS. How often do you hear brides say that? And honestly, even if it wasn't I would have no idea because Margaux would have taken care of it (or maybe she did, who knows). Our guests even commented on how smooth everything was, and my all Type A bridal party was floored by how incredible she was. I cannot say good enough things. This is the single best investment you will make for your wedding - just do it & watch the wedding of your dreams come to life!

aux and her team to thank for that. I had nothing to worry about on my dream wedding day and that's all a bride can ask for.

ing charts, and logistics with expertise. We also wanted to incorporate a few non-traditional/cultural elements into our ceremony, and she worked with us to make it seamless. She was also calm and thoughtful about requests that required additional coordination. On the day of the wedding, I knew I could focus on the day without worrying about logistics, and she kept the team of vendors informed and on track. I think a few times in the planning process there were communication gaps - misunderstandings or late follow-ups - but once I reached out Margaux was very quick to respond and clarify. Margaux and her team demonstrated great professionalism, experience, and enthusiasm throughout the planning process, and made it great day for us!

ecommend them for all brides/couples!

READ NOTHING MORE, READ THIS: i'm not the "wedding planning" type myself as i am indecisive and can get easily overwhelmed in my personal life. on the other hand, in my professional life as an attorney, i am quite the opposite. margaux bridged the gap for me--she guided me through the lengthy wedding planning process and helped me make all of the difficult design decisions, while at the same time exceeding all of my expectations in competence, communication, and professionalism. margaux helped me with EVERYTHING. she broke down the wedding into bite-size chunks, giving me tasks to complete on a timeline, which we revisited at our monthly in-person meetings (and i could freely call or email her during the month as well, if i needed). she also helped me explore design ideas, making great suggestions on everything from colors to rental tables to escort cards. margaux took the time to get to know me and my style, and then helped me find what i wanted without ever pushing her own agenda. now aside from the fact that she is clearly very great with weddings, margaux is also a great "planner." as i said before, she is a highly competent individual. also, in the course of wedding planning you will have many vendors (venue, caterer, photographer, florist, videographer, cake baker, dj, mc, photobooth, rentals, etc., just to name a few) and you may be flabbergasted at how some people are so inarticulate or slow to respond or hard to get a hold of when you're paying them so much money. but not margaux. not only is she a consummate professional in her own right, she will also help you wrangle those vendors and put your mind at ease. i would recommend Harmony Creative Studio/Margaux Fraise to anyone :)

and the event went smoothly! I give her expertise in event/wedding planning a two thumbs up! I highly recommend HCS!

edding planning, especially in the Los Angeles area. She was always flexible and available when we needed her to be. On the day-of, we couldn't have been happier, everything was beautiful and seamless. And even though our wedding had a lot of moving pieces and locations, the day couldn't have been more perfect. We highly recommend Margaux!

. Margaux and her team are just the most professional, awesome wedding coordinators we could have asked for. It was so great just knowing that they were there taking care of everything, and we were just able to enjoy it.

ith. My husband and I both had some quirky ideas for our wedding and I really appreciated that Margaux listened patiently to all of them and helped us beautifully execute the feasible ones. I also appreciate that she wasn't afraid to let us know when something might not work in the way we envisioned it because, let's face it: we did NOT know what we were doing! Also, my husband and I both have very demanding jobs so having a wedding planner was essential in keeping our sanity intact over the last year. I can safely say that with Margaux's help, wedding planning was more fun than stressful. My husband and I could not have done it without her! We are eternally grateful to Margaux and her team and would recommend them with confidence to anyone in need of assistance with event planning and design!

r services. I do however feel I'm qualified to give HCS a proper review as I have attended 3 different events produced by HCS. I attended what I would call a vintage inspired wedding, a story book baby shower, and a nautical themed wedding shower. I have never seen any other events more beautifully or thoughtful done (and I just attended a $100,000+ wedding - apparently money can't buy taste - unless of course they'd hired HCS!) That ritzy wedding didn't even come close to the HCS vintage wedding I attended. I think the vintage wedding display so much personality and creativity. If you attended that wedding not really having known the couple, I think you would have left feeling like they were old (super stylish) friends. HCS seriously thought of everything. From the decor, to the favors, to the paper goods, every detail was hand picked and uniquely designed- for all three events. I attempted to copy the storybook shower I attended for my own baby shower and I sure wish I would have been able to fly HCS to North Carolina (where I had my baby shower) to help out. I didn't even come close to recreating the magic of that HCS produced baby shower. I did however have HCS design and create my shower invites and I'm just obsessed with them. Every single person in attendance commented on how amazing they were! I think one of the smartest thing you could do for your wedding or any event that you're planning is to hire HCS!
