Love and Life Events

ally tied the knot. Finding the right wedding planner was very important. We had no idea where to begin with that process. Thankfully and luckily, my husband and Chiell Ann were friends from college, which made the process easier. We completed an initial consultation with Chiell Ann from LVLF to discuss our planning options. From that initial consultation, we knew LVLF was the perfect fit so we decided to proceed with their services. Long story short, it was the best decision ever! Throughout our wedding planning journey, Chiell Ann and her team was no less than amazing. They were professional, very communicative, creative, and always available for questions. We had monthly meetings to discuss any changes and Chiell Ann was always on top of deadlines to ensure we had everything needed before our wedding date. With their expertise, LVLF brought our vision to life. On our wedding day, everything went according to plan and it was PERFECTION! Thank you LVLF! We highly recommend Love and Life Events for your planning needs! You won't regret it.

Adrian and I needed a planner, 1) We wanted to plan a wedding in like 6 months, 2) We live in Portland, Oregon and wanted our wedding to be in Orange County, CA, 3) We are busy as hell. So after some Google searching, we found Cheill of Love and Life Events. We interviewed a ton of wedding planners, but Cheill stood out the most because she felt like our friend and understood our needs. The fact that she was Filipino and understood the culture, which was a huge plus. The entire planning process for them must have been a pain in the freaking ass because working with Adrian and I was not easy. LOL. We were busy, we didn't answer a lot of messages on time. So I greatly appreciate Cheill and the team's patience with us. However, I had so much faith in LVLF, I knew our wedding was gonna rock out and be epic. Planning a wedding out of state means we were really relying on LVLF's knowledge of the wedding industry in Orange County, in which they really pulled through. They helped us find our venue, photographer, photo booth, catering, etc. Without them, we would've been lost in the sauce on google looking for vendors. A lot of the vendors we worked with were people they knew, so that made me feel at ease because of the positive history they had with them. Chiell and her team go above and beyond. Again, being out of state. She met with my family and looked at venues while facetiming me. During our tasting, she had her associate Dalavy there with me to document everything and hound me down for details. We would not have accomplished what we wanted in a wedding without LVLF. Our monthly meetings with Chiell were great. In the time we worked together, you know you got more than just a wedding planner. She was our friend, our therapist when hiccups pop-up, and our biggest cheerleader. On the day of the wedding, LVLF truly shined. When Cheill said in the beginning that on our day, we would not have to worry about anything. She really meant that. We were so freaking chill that whole day! Chiell, Makayla, and Dalavy were basically our wedding shamans for the day. I got to experience and savor our wedding day. They made sure we were on time and on track. All I had to do was follow the leader. The team made our day seem so seamless and easy, but I know there was a lot of work going on behind the scenes. They made sure we were eating and drinking, carved some time out so that we can be in silence, helped me change into my Vietnamese outfit for my table visits. So we cannot thank them enough for all the hard work they were doing. I even forgot about our late night ramen bar, but Chiell said do not worry and made it work. Which was also the biggest highlight of the night. Everyone was saying that the ramen bar was the best late night thing ever. They are miracle workers. A week after the wedding, Cheill sent us this awesome BTS folder of videos and pictures of our wedding. There is this one video that I will forever cherish. It was our first dance, and someone was filming from the loft, and everyone is singing along. It was perfect. Adrian and I cannot express enough how much we appreciate Cheill, Dalavy, and Makayla for the whole process and our big day. You guys are a part of our story now. Do not hesitate. Hire Chiell and LVLF.

s that we didn't even know we needed to get in order before the big day that they not only made us ware of, but carried out the tasks themselves. They are kind, responsive, meticulous and genuinely care that you have the best wedding experience possible. Some of the things they offered were regular check ins to make sure our timeline was in place, communicating with our other vendors, and helping set up the venue on the big day. Thank you so much Love and Life Events!

l our questions. She made us feel at ease and gave advice whenever we’re stuck. Our wedding turned out to be more beautiful than imagined and everything went smoothly. As the bride, I felt more confident and stress free on our special day. Chiell and her team paid very close attention to details like the designs, arrangement and especially the last changes to the seating tables; they would do it all! We still get compliments on our wedding and we’re so happy with Loveandlife.events!

first zoom meeting with Chiell, I knew I wanted LVLF to help me plan my wedding. Chiell was super nice and very relatable. Eventually my husband and I met Emily who will be our main coordinator. Let me just say, we were very comfortable with her from the beginning, it was like talking to a friend! She was very prompt when we had questions/concerns about our layout or games. Fast forward to the wedding day, Emily and her team came to the bridal suite to say hi, ask how I’m doing and reminded me multiple times to drink water and eat something. It was awesome how they were also taking care of me while getting my wedding party, vendors and everything on schedule 🥹 Emily and her team got the flow going when we got to the venue and continued to check up on me. I’ll never forget how Emily read my expressions (my face can’t hide anything) if something was bugging me. Or the amount of patience she had for my crazy family when we did a quick rehearsal. 😅 My husband and I cannot thank Emily, Chiell and the LVLF team from the bottom of our hearts. They helped make planning our wedding as stress free as possible and went above and beyond on our big day. I highly recommend their team for future brides!

owledgeable and provided us with advice and recommendations that helped our planning move along smoothly. On our wedding day they were even more helpful. They helped in every aspect of the day, especially making sure that we were on schedule without causing stress. From bringing decor and bags from our hotel to the venue to setting up everything perfectly, and consistently checking in on us and our bridal party, Emily’s team handled it all! They made our wedding day stress-free which is the best thing we could ask for. Our family was surprised how much they did for the wedding and actually told us they never noticed the team handling everything around them!

ncredible event it was without Chiell's expertise and support. Chiell executed our vision beyond our imagination and her experience supported us throughout the entire process. She was able to answer our questions, provide guidance, and alleviate any concerns that we had. Her team coordinated with all the vendors, so that we didn't have to worry about it! Leading up and on the day of the wedding, Chiell and her team worked seamlessly behind the scenes, so that we didn't have to worry about anything the day of the wedding. We couldn't be happier with our choice in wedding planner and would highly refer her and her team. Thanks so much Chiell!!

ssful weddings can be (the amount of money invested + the time spent to plan a whole wedding day), every time we met and discussed things with LVLF, we left each conversation at ease as our anxiety levels reduced which is arguably one of my favorite things about them. Chiell Ann was well-communicative, professional, and easily approachable that we never had a doubt in our mind that her team would be able to pull off our wedding. Our meetings leading up to the meeting, when providing all our details, she kindly made great suggestions and helped us outweigh our options along with plenty of organizational tools of project planning templates and website. She also provided us a great network of vendors which we ended up using her recommended florists. She represented us well when up working with and communicating with other vendors. She was thorough and comprehensive making sure we covered all our bases all while having a calm and collected demeanor. Her positive and proactive attitude were consistent throughout. This energy was apparent when she ran us through rehearsal and especially when the pressure turned up a notch on wedding day. The team was outstanding - like allstars, they performed and executed flawlessly that many of our guests noticed, complimenting the timeline of events and the seamless transitions. They shined when needing to corral our wedding party for our photoshoot or proceed our guests to the next thing (i.e. cocktail hour, group pictures, dances, speeches, etc.). Outside of that, many things were invisible to my bride and I because we never worried that things would get done - making sure our DIY signage was set up, our plating was presented how my wife envisioned, making sure all our vendors were paid and several other things they helped with throughout the night. On top of them making us feel at ease, my other favorite thing was their willingness to be present on our day as I asked them to join us in our photo booth for a few pictures which I am grateful for being able to have a memory with them. The day went off oh so perfect and if I weren’t so caught up with all our guests, I wished that they had a good time and could partake in as much fun as we had. We are overjoyed to have had them there and we’ll forever feel indebted to them. They deserve all good things that come to them.

lanning style was very in sync with mine and I appreciated it. I was able to blindly let go of all things on the day of her all thanks to her. I highly recommend Chiell and her team for your events.

and fell in love with Chiell. She is incredibly professional and knows what she is doing all while helping you feel at ease – like a best friend helping you plan your wedding. Our day of was perfect with Chiell, everything went so smoothly and most importantly my husband, our guests, and I had so much fun. I would highly recommend Chiell and her team to other couples she helped us prepare and made us feel so comfortable that the day of was 100% stress free. We are so grateful to her and her team for helping us execute such a beautiful wedding.

y decided to go for it because we wanted a team there that had only our best interest at heart and after the wedding all we could talk about was how hiring Chiell and her team was the best thing we could've done for ourselves. As soon as we started working with Chiell (about a year before wedding day) she was nothing short of professional, warm, caring, and organized!! She had a program set up that made wedding planning so much easier, we had to do lists, seating arrangements, and budget planners. Whenever I had pre wedding stress our monthly zoom calls helped put my anxiety at ease. Chiell and her team really shined on our wedding day. The month before the wedding we finalized everything and when it came to the big day they made everything happen perfectly. My husband and I were stress free all day and had the time of our lives because they worked together so seamlessly and effortlessly. I even had guests comment on how smoothly our day ran. I’ve recommended Chiell to everyone I know that’s getting married because I truly think our day wouldnt have been as amazing without her!

l. Throughout the months of preparation and planning, Chiell, one of the founders, was instrumental in helping create the vision of the day and acquiring all the necessary items to make the day run as smoothly as possible. She is very friendly, easy to work with, knowledgeable in her field, and the central hub of our entire celebration. She made sure all the details that my wife spent months creating and collecting got set where they needed to go for our 200 guest wedding. She was a great communicator and kept us on top of what was happening during the day. Even with all the planning, there’s no day that goes without its hiccups and she handled all the unwanted surprises like a champ and had great problem solving abilities to keep the guests and more importantly, the wife, happy. The entire team she brought was hard working, extremely professional, detail oriented, very accommodating and really stuck to the highest standards of service I could imagine. She’s someone who does what she does so well and also is so warm and kind. I highly recommend anyone looking for a planner to trust in Love & Life Events and hire them for their important day. They’ll not only to help create an amazing vision for the day but also allow you to enjoy it to its fullest by running things behind the scenes.

ut her. Working a full-time job and having to plan a wedding at the same time was overwhelming for me (add in that our wedding guest count was originally 225 plus we pushed back due to the pandemic!). She made sure we had scheduled video meetings and had a specific timeline each time to make sure we covered all of our planning points. She’d follow up on points I’d forgotten about and at the end of every meeting reassured me it was all going to come together in the end. Throughout it all, she was VERY patient with our decision-making, helpful in advice, and had design boards and vendors all for us to review. I would recommend her services to all of my friends and family because she is reliable, timely, organized and so easy to talk to! Her communication is amazing! Thank you so much Chiell!

detail, and overall service for not only her clients but for all vendors involved has been phenomenal. Chiell is always quick to reply to any questions, no matter how big or small, and does an excellent job of bridging any communication between all the vendors involved, including the couple. She’s organized throughout the planning process and makes sure to include vendors on all relevant communication (timelines, payments, etc.). She also gives input, but not to the point where she oversteps, and understands the importance of working together with vendors to best serve the couple. To simply put it, if you want a planner who will get things done but also make your wedding or event the best experience for not just the couple, but for everyone involved, you need to get on the phone right now and hire Chiell.

your dream wedding a reality. My husband and I hired Chiell Anne and Emily for their month-of-coordination for our November 2019 wedding. We were very glad we did! They really helped us – especially me! – with alleviating the stress and pressure of figuring out all the details and logistics of wedding planning. They were very easy to communicate with via e-mail, phone, and text. They were also prompt with responding to our concerns and/or needs. I especially liked the shared Google Docs that were used to coordinate things. This made it easy to stay on the same page and communicate with several people at once. In addition to their organizational skills, they were sincerely eager and happy to help with making our wedding what we wanted it to be. You could tell by their attitude that they really enjoy and care about what they do. Furthermore, Chiellabrate Events worked well with our bridal party and vendors. Chiell Ann was a huge help with communicating and tying up loose ends with our make up artists, hair stylists and florist (i.e. ensuring they showed up on time at the right place; delivering final payments/tips). Chiell Ann also helped with delegating duties to bridal party members, helping out with unexpected events, and making sure our wedding day ran smoothly. Several bridal party members shared with me how friendly and organized Chiell Ann and Emily were on the day of our wedding; especially compared to our church coordinator (who was the complete opposite of organized - and I would NOT recommend)! My mother-in-law, who was mostly in charge of decorating our venue, also worked closely with Chiell Ann and Emily. She had this to say about them: “Chiell Ann and her team were always immediately responsive to questions and concerns. They did a great job following directives for decorations. Not only did they put them up, but they stayed the duration of the reception and took them down, neatly packed them up, and even loaded them into my car! They had very upbeat and positive attitudes and definitely gained my confidence”. If my husband and I end up renewing our vows in the future and plan another big celebration, I would definitely hire Chiellabrate Events again! Thank you, Chiell Ann and Emily, for helping make our wedding day so special and memorable!!
