We don't know where to even begin with thanking Iman for our wedding. Words will never be enough.
Hearing certain horror stories or frustrations from our friends about their wedding planners - we remained so utterly confused. How was it that bad? Ours is amazing...we just don't really get it. And there wasn't a single moment throughout this process that we didn't think that. Our personalities matched with Iman and she ensured our planning process remained aligned to our vibe even maybe without knowing it - straightforward, simple, efficient, calm, smart. And these qualities of hers helped us navigate an insane situation where we had last minute downpour of rain in the forecast - everything went off without a hitch and we wouldn't have been able to do that without Iman.
There are endless items to shoutout, but from our very organized/efficient planning calls & documents, to vendor selections & negotiations, to dealing with the more than occasional parent chime, and the ENTIRETY of the end-to-end coordination was so seamless. As a couple who cared about the vision, but also needed someone to run the ship hard while we remained busy with work - there were truly no notes. Every moment of triaging was handled with professionalism and calm - keeping everything on track but not rushing, funnelling us food & drink when needed most, opening rooms and rain hideaways, and on and on. Iman was all over it all, but in the most ghost-like way that we didn't even notice. There is no other way to describe it except incredible.
Iman is the best wedding planner - hire her in a heartbeat!
Iman is truly someone you want and need on your team. Throughout the entire wedding planning processes, she was so helpful, communicative, kind and had great ideas. But she truly shined on the day of the wedding when we had an unexpected wind storm that caused us to have to relocate our entire wedding indoors (all within about an hour). Iman and her team were like super heroes the way they so seamlessly took care of it all and made the impossible, possible. It ended up being such an incredible event and all of our guests were raving about her and what she pulled off. I can't thank her enough. Trust me, just hire her. It will be worth it and you'll have fun along the way.
Iman is a very organized and efficient wedding day coordinator. Everything ran smoothly and even ahead of schedule on the day of. She clearly is good at what she does, but she does seem very, very busy. There were times when her email responses were delayed. Everything ultimately worked out well, but for example I had to finalize the floral orders without her final approval because we were up against an order deadline and there had been a delay between email responses (and this was 3 weeks out from my wedding). During this time also, I received emails intended for other brides and I know at least one other bride that received an email/information meant for me.
In addition, I had hoped for more assistance with planning and design throughout the year that I had booked her, but didn’t really get that. I’m not sure if that is something she typically offers or if it was a misunderstanding, but it was my intention and impression on booking her to have more assistance throughout the year, particularly to create a beautiful, cohesive design.
I did get a few referrals (although not all great ones) and later some help with the logistics of renting linens and booking shuttles (which I don’t know anything about). But the design, colors, and overall theme were all big decisions that I made on my own. I did want to bring this up to make sure that any brides considering hiring her take her instagram posts with a grain of salt. She continues to post pictures of my wedding and implying that they are her/her company’s designs, but in actuality Iman had very, very little impact on the design of the wedding. The theme and colors were chosen by me. The tabletops were me. She recommended that I upgrade the table linens, but the linen choices were mine. The florist was excellent and created beautiful designs based on what I requested. The accent colors and vases were chosen by me. The signage, fonts, lighting (via the DJ) was all me. I’m not sure if I was just very particular, but I had expected to receive help with these design decisions and did not. Therefore, I made these decisions on my own. It did mean more effort, time, and stress than I had planned to give, and so I was disappointed by Iman’s lack of input here.
So again, day of coordination was perfect. But I don’t think she has time throughout the year to devote to being the wedding designer that I had hoped for.
Just a recommendation for future brides take her instagram photos with a grain of salt. I have attached a screenshot of her phrasing which makes it sound like she designed the wedding when she didn’t. However, she did coordinate and bring together my designs and plans very well.
Iman is exactly who you want planning and coordinating your wedding the day of AND the entire year leading up to it!! Her expertise, experience, and energy around the entire wedding were superb. From the moment we had our first consult call (we hadn't even hired her yet) she was already extremely helpful with venue guidance and making sure we were on the right track. As soon as we recognized her awesome vibes, my fiance and I were set to have her plan our wedding. We had her bring basically a "coachella wedding" to an empty backyard ranch with no power, no bathrooms, no lights, and no kitchen and she didn't even question us once! We had 3 bands, a DJ, multiple dance floors, 2 taco stations, 3 bars, and you could say she brought the house down. Not to mention, the tablescapes were so beautiful, I was in complete awe at how amazing they looked. She knows pretty much every vendor in San Diego/North County and gets along with everyone. She also spent time preparing us Friday night for the rehearsal! I had absolutely no worries the day of my wedding, she was in complete control, a true silent hero! Thank you, Iman, and your team from the bottom of our hearts! Love, Bianca y Jake.
It's been said before, and I will say it again: Iman is INCREDIBLE. I got the privilege of working with Iman for approximately 10 months leading up to my November wedding in San Diego. As someone who had absolutely zero vision or idea of what I wanted for a wedding, I couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner to work with. Iman is cool as a cucumber, and it translates in the ease of which she is able to effortlessly manage all of the vendors, planning and day of timelines, and communication throughout the entire process. Every conversation felt like chatting with a friend all while being incredibly productive and efficient. I loved how supportive she was of all my ideas, decisions, and feedback. Iman made everything so EASY, I really still can't believe how seamless the whole process was. I truly can't even imagine what it would have been like without her!
We worked with Iman for our wedding at San Diego Botanic Gardens in November. I cannot recommend Iman and her team enough. She is incredibly organized, responsive, and professional. Leading up to the wedding date, she gave me so many recommendations, asked all the right questions, and thought of details that would have never crossed my mind. I don't know how we could have done it without her - If anything went wrong on my wedding day, I had no idea. Iman and her team were always checking on my husband and I to make sure we had a drink in hand and made sure we had enough to eat. Iman is incredible and I highly highly recommend her!
Iman has been to our venue (Desert Willow Golf Resort) several times and I have not been disappointed with her work ethic. She is such a delight and very organized that it was very simple for my banquet staff to execute her instructions. I would highly recommend Iman for a Wedding or Event Planner.
Iman is incredible! As a wedding photographer, I have worked with many planners before, and I must say Iman stands out by far! She is always calm and precise, quick with decision-making and a wonderful presence to be around throughout your wedding day. Her organization skills and expertise really shine through making everything run so smoothly, not to mention her style and design work is always so eloquent and chic. I love working with Iman and recommend her 11/10 to all of my clients.
Iman is an absolutely amazing wedding planner and coordinator. She's the kind of person you want on your side when you're planning the biggest day of your life. In fact, I don't think I could have pulled off my wedding without her.
Iman's expertise and knowledge made the whole process feel effortless - even while planning a San Diego wedding from NYC. She's an excellent communicator, a great listener, and always on top of everything. Her direct yet empathetic approach made me feel heard and understood, and I always knew what was happening next.
Iman had a clear timeline of when we needed to get things done and expected costs. She helped us make decisions and emphasized what was most important so we could focus on that and not get distracted by the countless little things that can pop-up. She is so well connected she helped us find the right vendors at the right price point.
But what really sets Iman apart is her attention to detail and her design skills - visionary is the word I'd use. She took our somewhat scattered ideas and ramblings and turned them into a stunning wedding day. From the flowers to the tables to the ambiance, everything was absolutely perfect - the vibes were unmatched.
Icing on the (wedding) cake was the day of - her and her team nailed it - everyone knew what was going on, where they needed to be, and it was a seamless day - absolutely perfect.
The wedding was perfect and I miss my meetings and planning sessions with Iman - working with her made the process great!
We can’t say enough great things about Iman! She’s a true superstar and made our wedding day feel seamless. Our first wedding planner left the industry due to family matters, and we’re so lucky we found Iman a few months out to come in and lead us through the final stretch. She suggested terrific last minute vendors, built out a perfect (and realistic!) timeline, and made sure everything happened exactly as we hoped day-of.
On our rehearsal and wedding day, Iman made us and our guests feel taken care of. The biggest compliment was everyone saying how the day ran without any hiccups, and that’s how it felt to us too. Wedding day is overwhelming but Iman found moments to appropriately check-in with us, make sure our drinks were full, and make sure the party was going! Don’t think twice, work with Iman!
Iman was truly such a pleasure to work with. She was so incredibly helpful every step of the way and is incredibly knowledgeable about local vendors. She streamlined everything for us and made our planning process enjoyable. On the wedding day she was such a bright light and seamlessly handled anything that came up. As a bride, she kelp me calm and grounded and ensured me that everything was fine. I am so thankful for her, and I couldn't have imagined our wedding day without her!
We cannot sing enough praises for our incredible wedding coordinator, Iman, who played an indispensable role in making our wedding day absolutely perfect. From the moment we began working with Iman, her exceptional organization skills became evident, and she proved to be a true lifesaver for our unexpected family emergency.
Iman demonstrated immense flexibility and compassion when we had to reschedule our wedding 1 month away. She worked tirelessly to rearrange all the details with our vendors, ensuring that our new wedding date went off without a hitch.
On the day of our wedding, Iman continued to shine. Her attentiveness was unwavering as they not only kept us on schedule but also made sure we had the chance to eat and drink amidst the day's schedule. Her dedication to our well-being and the smooth execution of our wedding is remarkable.
We wholeheartedly recommend Iman to anyone in need of an outstanding wedding coordinator. Their expertise, and unmatched organizational skills made for our beautiful and memorable celebration. Thank you, Iman, for ensuring our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. You truly made our day extraordinary.
Iman made sure our summer wedding was well organized and coordinated! I booked Iman last March for our July 2023 wedding in San Diego and she was great throughout our year of planning. She provided fantastic recommendations from our photographer to our DJ. Iman responded promptly and was transparent, which is something I needed! She consolidated my venue wants and ultimately was the reason our day went so smoothly! After our night, she and her team made sure to set aside some extra wedding food and desserts that we took home with us which we appreciated (we didnt get a chance to eat some desserts during the reception). Iman was kind and receptive of me throughout the wedding planning process and I felt fully supported! Our day was stress free and we barely lifted a finger. She also offers a bridal concierage service which I highly recommend! Thanks Iman, you are so awesome!
The coordination of the vendors, guests, and all the moving parts was nothing short of perfect. Iman and her team, Dani and Kirsten, truly went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly so that we could focus on enjoying our big day.
We've received an overwhelming amount of compliments from our guests on how beautiful and seamless the wedding was, and we attribute that to their hard work.
We will cherish the memories forever and are grateful for the role Iman and her team played in making it all possible. Highly recommend working with them!
Iman was incredible throughout the whole process. She truly made my wedding dreams come true. She was super attentive and responsive the whole time. I can not say enough great things about her!! She is also very detailed oriented which is a plus, she thought of so many details that I would have never even thought of! The day of the wedding I felt super calm throughout the whole day thanks to her. She made sure that everything was perfect and I couldn't be more thankful.
Iman was amazing in helping us plan our wedding in San Diego when both of us were from out of town! She was so great in helping us find the right vendors within our budget to achieve our vision and was super helpful in answering the (many) questions we had and ideas we came up with during the whole process of planning. I was so impressed that Iman was able to keep track of all our little last minute details that I brought up with her just a couple days before the wedding. She also handled some of our last minute guest list changes so so well. Day of, all our details came together so beautifully even better than I had imagined and our wedding ran so smoothly. We also heard from SO many of our guests that it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to! Do not hesitate to hire Iman for your wedding planning services--she will do an absolutely fantastic job and then some :)
Besides my husband, Iman was the best choice I made for my wedding day. We hired her as a "day of" coordinator but OH MY GOD was she so much more than that. From the day we hired her a year in advance I emailed her questions about vendors for for lighting, generators, candles, and we ended up using and loving every single one she recommended. She answered promptly to every single question we had throughout the process (and we had millions). When it got to the time where she was actually "working" for us she was even more of a dream and took over coordinating with every vendor we had booked so seamless and of course quickly noticed some mistakes I had made as well that she corrected quickly without flinching. We liked the coordinator at our venue but as the date got closer we felt more and more that at the end of the day they had the venues back, not ours. We are SO thankful we hired Iman to have our backs. She truly thought of everything. I found these cute little salt and pepper shakers to rent and she reached out to the vendor to confirm if salt and pepper was included and I literally couldn't stop laughing because the thought of that had NEVER crossed my mind. On the day, she again (and the rest of her team) were A DREAM. Looking back on the day there truly was not one thing that went wrong. Now, I am sure there were things that ALMOST went wrong but because Iman and her team were there literally nothing did. One small example, we were getting ready to walk out for our first dance and Iman noticed my bustle had been done wrong and fixed it in 10 seconds before I went out so that my dance & the photos of the dance would look perfect. Our day would not have been the same without her and we are eternally grateful for everything she did. OH and last but not least she is also SO fun and funny and easy going. It's shocking how she can handle SO much and still be so nice and fun. All of our friends and family couldn't stop talking about how much they loved her and compared her to other planners who always seemed so bossy and uptight. HIRE IMAN! YOU WILL THANK ME!
We used iman for partial/ day of planning and she got the job done perfectly! Very efficient and helpful with referrals while also listening to and respecting my decisions for the day! I’m not great at decor or style stuff and she completely made my choppy vision come to life better than I could have imagined! The day ran so smoothly if anything went wrong I had absolutely no idea!
We cannot even express how amazing Iman and her team was! We hired them from the moment we got engaged and it was the BEST decision. Not only was Iman great and thoughtful through the whole planning stage, her and her team were the rock of our wedding day. They made sure everything went off smoothly and that not only us, but our bridal party and family was taken care of. I would hire Iman again and again and again!!! If you are getting married, stop right now and book Iman as your coordinator. I promise, it will be the easiest, best decision you make for your wedding. Iman, the new Hasemans love you so much and will scream from the mountain too praises to you for making our day the best day ever!!
Iman is an expert in her field and it shows. She was able to guide us through all our wedding stress with a cool, confident, demeanor that made us know we were in great hands. From the start, Iman listened to what we wanted for our day and give us the tools to make it reality. Because of her experience, she was able to offer keen suggestions on vendors, timeline, and budget.
Iman's steady guidance alleviated mountains of wedding stress throughout our entire planning process. What made Iman a good wedding planner was her knowledge, insane attention to detail, and her amazing team. However, what makes Iman a GREAT planner is her ability to anticipate and fix problems before they arise, her no nonsense can-do attitude, and her ability to roll with the punches without a second thought (i.e - torrential rain at our San Diego wedding). If thats not enough, all our vendors love her as well.
My husband and I were able to just relax, be present, and have an AMAZING time on our wedding day, because we had fun faith in Iman and her team, and we are so grateful to them.
Iman helped me plan my Dec 3, 2022 wedding and honestly saved my sanity. We were planning from halfway across the world, and she kept it all together and got my very strongly-held vision. She found vendors I never would have found on my own, arranged all the logistics so I could focus on the design and experiencing my day, and wrangled my complicated family perfectly. There were a few times I got worried about quiet communication on her end, but she was still busily working away organizing things in the background. Our day turned out nearly perfectly and we were able to just enjoy rather than stress all day, thanks to Iman.
We hired Iman Lee Events for day-of coordinator services. We weren’t initially planning on having a coordinator, but it was a requirement of our venue.
While I didn’t see it as a necessity in the beginning, I am so happy we did have some help on hand!
There are many things you have to deal with in the final weeks leading up to your wedding, and even on your wedding day. Iman helped my husband and I dial in our schedule, and on the day of we had Melissa and Dani running the show. Everyone involved did a fabulous job. There were many moving parts in our day, from the set-up to the ceremony onto cocktail hour and then the reception. The team at Iman Lee Events made sure that everything ran smoothly and on time.
Thank you for all your help, and for making our wedding day worry free!
Iman was amazing!! As someone who is very indecisive and slightly a procrastinator, Iman was incredibly helpful and made sure we were on track for all parts of wedding planning. She helped us find other vendors with a budget in mind, and was there every step of the way for any questions, recommendations, and support. The wedding day turned out beautiful and she made it seem so effortless. Thanks so much Iman!!
I'm so glad I found Iman for my wedding! She recommended me many amazing vendors to work with and I'm 100% satisfied with her work. She makes all processes quick and easy. During the meetings, I didn't have to explain A to Z. She just knew what I expected and I was so happy with how she and her assistant took care of everything perfectly on the wedding day. I couldn't catch her assistant's name but she was so nice and stayed until the end of the night to make sure everything is taken care of. Thank you! :)
You NEED a wedding coordinator like Iman if you are looking to keep wedding planning relatively stress-free and enjoy your actual wedding day. We came to Iman with a venue, a date, and a vision of throwing a big party for our closest friends and family. Leaving wedding planning to the experts was our mindset and Iman delivered.
Iman filled in all the blanks for us....we had a lot of blanks in pulling together a proper flowing beautiful wedding: color schemes, florals, rentals, schedules, table arrangements, coordinating vendors, trash, and everything in between.
In the months leading up to our wedding, working with Iman gave us the confidence that we were getting everything done in a timely manner. When vendors had questions or needed anything related to the wedding, they went through Iman. This allowed us to enjoy our personal time together throughout our engagement rather than getting lost in the little details of wedding planning.
My husband and I had so much fun on our wedding day. Everyone involved in our wedding had a detailed schedule for our wedding day and knew where to be and when. Iman and her staff guided us through our day. We just showed up, got dressed, took pictures, ate (yes we ate plenty on our wedding day), drank, and partied away. Exactly what we wanted. Multiple vendors told us it was the most well-organized and punctual wedding they've been a part of. Kudos to Iman and team - you are wedding coordinating rock stars!!
Iman saved our wedding day!!
My husband and I were a bit lost when we decided to move our plans from NY wedding to San Diego. Having just moved here a few months after getting engaged we were lost on where to start and what vendors to use. From the start Iman was immediately attentive, responded to every email or text almost immediately, was patient, and helped us source some amazing vendors. Truly our wedding felt like it went off without a hitch, thanks to Iman, even though it poured rain all day for an event we envisioned and planned to be completely outdoors.
Iman was so professional, fun, smart, quick on her feet and we were SO grateful to have her help us plan and all that she did for us on our wedding day. She bustled my dress like a champ so I could enjoy hour cocktail hour. She is a top notch planner with great experience and her coordination on the day of is seamless. If you need someone to takeover or even just guide you through your planning, Iman will impress you!!
I can’t begin to describe just how much Iman and her team did for us! From day one to the wedding day, Iman was very responsive, organized, and beyond helpful. She took all the stress out of planning a wedding which really helped us focus on enjoying our special day to the fullest. We received expert advice on budget choices, beautiful design boards/mock ups, and great vendor recommendations. Iman, thank you for all your hard work and helping us to create a day all of our friends and family enjoyed. We will always be grateful for you! :)
Iman is INCREDIBLE! We could not have planned our beautiful wedding without her! From the very beginning we knew we were in great hands. We hired her knowing that she would not be able to be at our wedding day because she was already booked for an out of state wedding that day. We were fine with that since we really needed her help with the planning process and she told us she would have a few coordinators for the day of. So happy we did! She helped take the stress off planning. She recommended great vendors, made my vision come to life with design, and was there for us whenever we had questions. Her communication and professionalism is outstanding. Even when we completely changed our minds on things she was always extremely helpful and so nice. We are so grateful to Iman and will recommend her to anybody! She is absolutely amazing at what she does and a pleasure to work with!
Now, the wedding day of coordinator she had in place for us, Dani, was also AMAZING! She was so knowledgeable, helpful, sweet, and went above & beyond. Our bridal party and many guests made so many comments of how smooth everything went, and still comment on how incredible Dani was. We can't say enough good things about her, she was so amazing and really helped make our day so special!
Thank you Iman & Dani!! You two are so great at what you do! :)
Everyone: look no further and hire Iman!
Iman was an absolute pleasure to work with! We had a very specific vision for our wedding day in mind and Iman not only understood what we wanted, she connected us with the right vendors to make it happen. Planning a wedding from the other side of the country can be stressful, but Iman kept us on track all the way through. The day of the wedding Iman kept it moving and flowing so well we actually started the reception a few minutes early! Her fabulous work did not go unnoticed. We heard from multiple guests that they were impressed by how smoothly the whole day went, with flawless transitions from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception.
I feel like we hit the jackpot when we started working with Iman over a year ago. She truly helped us bring our wedding vision to life! She is such a pleasure to work with and quick to respond to any request. When the forecast changed the few days leading up to our wedding, she assured me that it would all work out and found ways to provide tents last minute. I would highly recommend her and her team to anyone looking for someone who knows how to execute a perfect event under any circumstance.
I got married in La Jolla in Sept. 2022 and the entire day was a dream, much to Iman’s credit.
I can’t say enough kind things about Iman and her team. From our first phone call to the wedding day Iman was on top of every detail. I’m a very organized and type-A person, and I always stress over the details. Of all my wedding vendors (I had some wonderful ones!) Iman was always the most prompt to respond, which is so important when planning an event of this size. One of the biggest reliefs in wedding planning was when I passed the reins to Iman a month before the big day and was able to relax knowing she had everything covered.
Hiring Iman was also an amazing investment, since Iman managed to save me hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars that other vendors would have charged for setup/tear down throughout the day.
To summarize: Iman was professional, organized, able to coral the large bridal party, and ensured a successful event from start to finish.
Thank you Iman and team for making my day so flawless!
Iman was amazing! She was always on point and always on top of her email responses. Anytime I asked for her opinion, she was really insightful as she has years of expertise in the wedding industry. Although she couldn’t make it on the day of, she made sure she left me with excellent hands to coordinate on my wedding day. I had zero worries because everything was taken care of. Also for the price of day of coordination was very reasonable. She stepped in about 3 months before our wedding date which helped a lot! Thank you Iman!
Iman is absolutely fantastic! She planned my wedding and went above & beyond in so many different ways to make our day spectacularly seamless. I'll never use another event planner, EVER. She really got the vision we were going for and gave us excellent vendor and design recommendations based on our budget. We initially hired a different wedding planner but had a terrible experience--working with Iman was a complete 180. I can't say enough just how excellent she is. Wish I could give more stars! She deserves it :)
Do not hesitate to book Iman, you will be thrilled. I will start by saying that I am a wedding vendor myself (hair and makeup) so I work with planners all the time. In my dealings with Iman's clients I have heard nothing but rave reviews so I didn't hesitate to reach out for my own big day.
She pulled off a surprise wedding for me in about two months and literally did everything. I had zero free time and 100% trust in her talents so I delegated all decision making to her. She picked out all of the rental furniture, vendors and decor for me, figured out the layout, co-ordinated everything and it was absolutely perfect. My family were alarmed when they asked questions like, "where are people going to eat" and I said, "I have no idea" but they were thrilled with how it all turned out. And this is not to say that Iman didn't communicate these things to me, as I am sure she did. I just wasn't listening because I knew she had it under control and I was more interested in ordering things like colored smoke bombs than belly-up tables (whatever they are).
Iman has a catering background which was very useful when figuring out how much food to order, she thinks of every tiny detail and the staff she brought and vendors she recommended were all perfection.
If you are on this page then just do yourself a favor and book Iman! Then go take a nap because she has everything handled :)
Iman was a referral from another bride, and we are truly so fortunate that we snagged her for our big day on 8/6. Iman was extremely organized, friendly, and made everything stress free. I made several changes to my ceremony details, florals, reception decor, pictures, and was even late on submitting a few things (seating chart) - regardless, her team made everything happen despite me lagging.
Our rehearsal and wedding went off without a SINGLE issue, and if something did go wrong we had no idea and it was resolved quickly. Our day was absolutely perfect! She's a PRO. I want to plan another event just so I can have her! Thank you Iman Lee Events!! Ya'll were AMAZING!!!!
Iman, Sara, and the rest of her team are absolute ROCKSTARS! I knew from our initial call that she was someone I could trust, and I couldn’t be happier that I did. We hired the majority of our vendors before reaching out to Iman and we were really just looking for someone to help us tie together all of the details and take the lead the day of. Well, Iman did that and more. She gave great recommendations for our remaining vendors, listened to all of the details that were important to us and helped bring to life the vision we had for our non-traditional wedding. She was always quick to respond, proactive, and kept us feeling calm throughout the process. Her attention to detail and organization is unmatched and helped this detail-oriented gal feel at peace. Day of, Iman made sure we were fed (THANK YOU!), never thirsty, and even helped me bustle my dress because I got carried away at the cocktail hour :) Even if you’re on the fence, trust me, you NEED Iman and her team to help your day run smooth. If we had to do it again, we’d hire you guys again. Cannot thank you enough!!!
We hired Iman as a full service planner about a year and a half before our wedding date, and I seriously don’t know what I would’ve done without her!
She was extremely organized and on top of everything from the very beginning; I never once felt like I had to worry about anything because I knew she had it all under control. I even moved across the country mid year, and never had to stress about planning this wedding once during or after my move. I am a very high strung and anxious person, so to say that I not once felt stressed or worried, whether it was in the planning process or even the day of the wedding, really says a lot about how amazing Iman is as a person, and how great she is at her job. I am also a very picky bride as well, and had a very specific vision for what I wanted for almost everything, but didn’t know where to start or how to go about planning. Iman got to know me and my style so well, and I completely trusted that she would know exactly what I wanted for every little detail. She brought my vision to life and did even more than I could have ever imagined, and the wedding was beyond perfect. Even the wedding party and guests commented on how great Iman was at staying on top of things, and how much they liked her!
I don’t write reviews often, but I am blown away at how smoothly and perfect the entire process and wedding day went, and how I have Iman to thank for literally all of it. She was by far the best person we could have hired for this job and I could not recommend her enough!!! I am so beyond grateful for all of her help, and I will miss chatting with her regularly! Thank you so much again Iman for making the wedding of my dreams happen!
We were on the fence about hiring a coordinator. We had a good amount of planning already squared away but the little things were starting to add up. We decided to bring on Iman for Wedding and Event Day Mgmt and oh boy, was that the best call EVER! She took care of things we had no idea were even in the equation, her vendor recommendations were awesome (we got SO many compliments on how great everyone was) and her team executed our vision seamlessly and beyond expectations. We actually got to enjoy our own wedding!
If you are on the fence at all about hiring a coordinator, absolutely do it! And we highly, highly recommend Iman and her team!!
I can't say enough good things about Iman. I worked with her on partial planning services and brought her on board after I had contracted my vendors. She immediately took over communication with them, streamlined everything, helped me with design and decor, provided feedback and opinions when asked, and overall made our planning process so much less stressful. On my wedding day I felt relaxed and had peace of mind knowing she was handling everything (which she did!) She is friendly, fun, and professional, and a great communicator. I could not imagine planning my wedding without her! You'll be lucky to work with her if you can. Thank you, Iman!!!
Iman and her team were wonderful coordinators for our wedding. In the weeks leading up to our date, Iman organized our timeline, went through her detailed checklist with us, took care of all our decorations, and emailed our vendors to confirm arrivals.
When I walked into our reception venue I was shocked and in love with how beautiful all the decor was and so satisfied by how smoothly the reception was going.
Weddings can be stressful but Iman and her team made our wedding manageable. We had so much fun celebration our marriage because we knew we were in good hands. Thank you Iman, Kirsten and Sara!
I wish I could give Iman a MILLION stars. From start to finish, Iman was amazing and truly captured the vision for the event we threw for my mother. I was planning this party from a different coast - but working with Iman felt like we were in the same city.
Iman is incredibly organized and more than that, she has a creative vision that is impeccable. She was also able to flex when the room we originally chose wasn't going to be suitable for the event. Iman planned absolutely everything - from the draping to cover an ugly entrance down to the beautifully engraved table place cards. I was able to truly enjoy the day and celebrate my mom. If I could give Iman and her team a MILLION stars - that wouldn't be enough.
Iman was a fantastic wedding planner. We purchased month of planning, but she went above and beyond to assist us the full year ahead. She was great at communication, at recommending vendors and understanding how to make our vision a reality. We could not recommend her higher. Thank you Iman for everything you do! The wedding event went by seamlessly thanks to her and her team.
We hired Iman as our coordinator about 4 months before our wedding (we planned our wedding in less than 9 months, and live in Arizona). Iman, was the glue to the entire wedding. Executing the most beautiful day and keeping everything flowing from well before the wedding day and throughout. Multiple people in our bridal party and family told me how much they liked her and how on top of everything she was, and I could not agree more, and knew it from our initial call. She was so knowledgeable, straight to the point, and I knew she was the planner for us. In all of our conversations she always remembered the details from our previous conversations and would always follow up on any outstanding decisions/items/updates leading up to the wedding. She was always available and talked through any decisions I may have been between, offering her experience to guide me toward the right decision. I love throwing parties and am extremely particular with how I envision things, and my vision for my wedding was no different. I searched planners and stalked their websites and social media for real photos of their work. Iman’s work was exactly my taste, and I knew I trusted her to do what I would. I DIYed all decor aside from floral and all I did on the wedding day was hand Iman boxes (labeled with what was inside) and Iman and her team worked their magic to make it all look beautiful. She even had extra items she provided to add that extra touch, and I was so in love with all the little details of our wedding day. If you’re super type A like me and want your dream wedding executed just as you envisioned without having to do it all yourself (or making your bridal party/family do it), stop looking, Iman is your girl!
Iman was great and couldn’t have done our wedding without her! She was extremely helpful leading up to our big day with coordinating & connecting us to vendors, providing an accurate timeline, and carrying out day of activities. She allowed for a smooth connection of our DJ, photographers, food & beverage, and venue coordinators on our wedding day. Would highly recommend Iman for any wedding or event planning needs!
I’m a panicky, hyper organized bride, and Iman made me feel at ease throughout the whole process. I’ve never met someone who responds to an email faster. She put me in contact with multiple awesome vendors whom she trusted. She is worth every penny (and more)- if you are on the fence about getting a planner, you need one/you need Iman. She is extremely organized, responsible, and prompt, but, most importantly, my family, friends, and I could relax the day of because Iman had it under control. I trust her with my life.
Iman is super organized and on top of everything. She personally toured our venue to make sure she understood the event space. Iman helped me with design and coordinating everything. She connected me to outstanding vendors I would not have been able to find on my own. Iman did not miss a single detail and felt like part of our family. Iman is like having your best friend who is an expert event planner coordinate your wedding.
Where do I even begin, because no matter what I write it just won't do Iman justice!!! From our first conversation I knew my (now) husband and I were in excellent hands. Through the year of planning, Iman was so thorough with every detail we discussed, and so knowledgeable about everything. She was familiar with our amazing venue and was able to make great suggestions and made communications with the venue a breeze.
As far as brides go, my bridesmaids, mom, even IMAN, all assured me I was pretty chill but I had some outlandish dreams and ideas for our wedding (I ended up with 18 individual vendors and Iman kept track and maintained contact, with all of them!!!) that definitely complicated matters (...3 different food/bar vendors, not including the 3 dessert vendors---we love food) and being a creative by profession I had plenty of purely visual elements that I was dead set on including (rather then rent linen napkins, I sourced several vintage, deadstock, and handmade napkins off Etsy to have a different napkin at every seat - and Iman's team kept track of them alllll, I got every single one back after the wedding!!). The point is, logistically, I imagine I was wildly frustrating at times, but Iman never let onto feeling that way, and continued to respond to my weird ideas and questions with "No that's possible, we can make that work/happen/not a prob." She was both a cheerleader and the cool guidance counselor who actually gets you on a good path (meaning, she knows when you need to be reigned in, and will gently steer you in a different direction when she stops you from starting to look into renting a Ferris wheel that was not exactly within budget-hypothetically of course).
I curated a ridiculous cadre of decor and props from a vintage fondue pot to picture books, to solar-powered frog and porcupine light-up garden statues. She organized the items exactly where specific ones were supposed to be and better yet made perfect adjustments and distributed the excess and unassigned items SO beautifully. I didn't know what to expect, only having the fragmented visions in my head to go off, but as soon as I walked onto our reception site, my jaw dropped and I was just immediately giddy. She and her team did such a stunningly beautiful job and capture and executed my vision so perfectly.
Iman was professional, just absurdly, ridiculously, insanely, impeccably organized (seriously, she misses nothing), prompt, communicative, fun, creative and has such a great eye, and she was just all around wonderful to work with. I miss texting her every few days about gelato carts, glowing cotton candy, and accusations that she's an alien because she must literally never sleep with how she is so on the ball with everything! You will NOT regret hiring Iman; sure, you may have a perfectly good experience with another company, but only Iman will give you that invaluable peace of mind knowing that in her hands every single detail is covered, every possibility is prepared for, and you will truly be able to just show up to your celebration and enjoy! Thank you Iman for making the wedding of our dreams happen!!!
We love you!

Iman was a fantastic wedding coordinator! We hired her for day-of services and she went above & beyond to start working with us a few months before while staying within our budget. She was very detailed oriented & easy to communicate with. Everything went smoothly - of course a couple minor things happened like any other wedding but she was so quick to fix anything that we were not aware of it until afterwards. Her years of experience in this industry really showed and we felt like we were in good hands from the start - would highly recommend Iman & her team!!
Iman was an absolute treat! She was accommodating and patient with us through the whole process, despite our hectic work schedules. Without her diligence, support, and willingness to go the extra mile we would have not have had a wedding at all!
While she may be based out of San Diego, that didn’t stop her from lining up and ensuring the cooperation of all our vendors for our venue out in Riverside.
Under Iman’s tutelage, she was able to make our vision of a beautifully elegant and classic garden themed backyard wedding, a reality.
Iman’s most valuable quality was her ability to stay organized and on track on the day of the wedding. She also did an incredible job setting up and tearing down all the table decorations. Especially for backyard weddings, staying organized and on time is so important. She made our day INCREDIBLY stress and worry free with that organization.
I would STRONGLY recommend Iman to anyone looking for a Wedding Coordinator.
Iman is the best! I am the type of person who likes to do things myself, so putting my trust in my coordinator was really important for me. From day 1 Iman was on top of everything and I knew she would make sure my day went smoothly. she was super responsive, set up meetings to go through all the details, gave great recommendations for other vendors, and built trust from day 1. Day of the wedding, she was right there to assist with everything from getting makeup off the grooms tux (oops), to making sure that the timeline ran smoothly. would highly recommend her and her assistant to anyone.
