5 Stars – The Best Decision We Made for Our Wedding!
Hiring Matchboxevent and working with Natalia was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very start of the day to the very end, Natalia was by our side, handling everything with such calm professionalism that we never once felt stressed or overwhelmed.
There were hiccups behind the scenes (as there always are with events), but we didn’t notice a single one—because Natalia and her team took care of it all seamlessly. When our alcohol ran out, she didn’t even hesitate—she went out herself to buy more just so everything could keep flowing smoothly. Every decision made throughout the day was run by us with care, and we always felt comfortable and taken care of.
One of the moments that really stuck with me was walking into my bridal suite after the reception and seeing it completely cleaned and organized—done by Natalia herself. It’s hard to explain how comforting that was after such a long day. It truly felt like she thought of everything.
Thanks to Natalia and Matchboxevent, our wedding felt effortless, joyful, and completely us. We honestly don’t know what we would have done without her.
Highly, highly recommend!

My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Natalia and her team at MatchBox Event Co! Planning a destination wedding comes with its challenges, but Natalia made every step of the process seamless. We had multiple events—welcome party, wedding day, after-party, and post-wedding breakfast—and each one was executed flawlessly. The professionalism, attention to detail, and care that Natalia brought to everything went above and beyond our expectations. If anything went wrong, we had no idea because Natalia handled it all. She listened to our vision, offered great advice, and made sure every detail was perfect - all while smiling. We were actually able to enjoy our wedding day because we knew everything was in great hands. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Natalia and her team made it effortless. They were very responsive and quick to solve any issue. If you’re looking for someone who’s not only highly skilled but genuinely cares, look no further than Natalia and MatchBox Event Co. We are incredibly grateful for all of their hard work and highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding!!

Natalia and her team are so invaluable. They helped plan my wedding for a year and a half and were always on top of everything. They were quick and clear with communication and made sure to listen to what my priorities were. Any bridal crisis I had throughout the process was handled by the team quickly and easily. On the actual wedding day I didn’t have to worry about anything because Matchbox Event Co had it covered, I was able to just enjoy my day. Thank you so much Natalia!!

Planning a wedding can be an overwhelming and stressful experience, but thanks to Natalia and her incredible team, my big day was absolutely perfect! From the moment we got in touch with Natalia, she took care of every little detail and made sure that everything was executed flawlessly.
The communication throughout the entire process was exceptional. She was always available to answer any questions or concerns that we had and made sure that we were informed every step of the way. She truly listened to our vision for our special day and brought it to life in a way that exceeded our expectations. Our friends and family could not stop complimenting her beautiful work!
The attention to detail was impeccable. From the decor to the timeline of events, everything was thoughtfully planned out and executed with precision. I never had to worry about a single thing on the day of the wedding because I knew that her and her team had everything under control.
Overall, I cannot recommend Natalia highly enough. She truly made my wedding day a dream come true and I am forever grateful for her hard work and dedication. If you are in need of a wedding planner, look no further than Matchbox. They are simply the best in the business!

Where do i even start? Natalia is absolutely amazing and her staff and ideas made me and my wife's special day the most beautiful moment ever. Our family and friends are still talking about how amazing the experience was. From the chef to the photographer everything exceeded our expectations. Natalia was not only patient but extremely eager to assist us in every step as we prepared for this day. Dj was amazing. She found perfect venue and provided everything we requested to make the moment magical. If given another opportunity id choose matchbox 100 times over. Honestly 5 stars aren't enough.

Natalia and her wedding coordinating company, Matchbox Box Event Co., have not met our expectations. Despite extensive discussions and meetings to discuss my daughter's vision for her wedding, the services provided fell significantly short of what was promised in our contract. Natalia claimed that she only handles one wedding at a time, but this turned out to be untrue as she did not even bother to check in on the day of my daughter's wedding due to being at another event (she had 2 staff members there for assistance).
Throughout the entire process, we felt like second-rate clients, as if our daughter's wedding did not matter to Natalia. The situation deteriorated to the point where she refused to remove empty boxes from the bridal suite, leaving my husband with no choice but to handle it himself before the wedding and during the reception. Additionally, moments before midnight, I found myself searching for champagne glasses that were never set up.
These are just a few examples.
Our level of satisfaction is extremely low. and would not reccomend

On behalf of Matchbox Event Co. please accept my sincere apologies since it is never our i...
ntent for any of our clients to feel this way. All reasonable means are used to ensure that our couple’s special day is just that… special. Great lengths are also taken to ensure that there is as little stress on the family as possible.
After a thorough review of your event, it's important to clarify that Matchbox Event Co. fulfilled all the requirements of the Partial Planning Package that was contracted. Additionally, several services were negotiated and performed on the family’s behalf at no additional charge including extrication of trash, a bartending tasting, support with DIY floral, an extra hour of event time, and a ceiling disco ball installation. This does not include the 10 additional hours of day of event time that the Matchbox team also spent outside of the contracted package.
If I am not capable of attending an event in person (which is rare but always communicated with each client at the time of signing), my team provides multiple check-ins leading up to, or at, specific times during the event. Our team during the setup of the champagne wall prior to guest arrival and started pouring with bartenders at 11:40pm, the lead coordinator then had the performers make an announcement and every guest had champagne before midnight. Since the event was a NYE wedding this would have been a big detail to miss for us.
Finally, I am sorry that your husband had to move your boxes of DIY decor. There appears to be some confusion between the planning services Matchbox provides and storage services that are contracted with the venue. I will be sure to pass on your feedback.

Natalia was great. I originally was planning on doing everything for my wedding on my own and there is absolutely no way I could have done it. From the moment I signed the contract with MatchBox Event Co, I felt a weight lifted off of my shoulders. From contacting vendors, to decorating my venue on the day of, as well as running the entire day of the wedding, I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help. If I ever needed anything, or just someone to answer any random questions, Natalia was always there when I needed her. She was on top of everything and nothing got missed. Again, there is no way this day could have ran smoothly if it wasn’t for Natalia and her team. I would hire her a million more times if I had to! Couldn’t recommend her more!

Our wedding journey with Natalia and the Matchbox Events Co. team was nothing short of a dream. In the whirlwind of planning and anticipation, finding a planner who could bring our vision to life while keeping everything stress-free seemed daunting. But then, Natalia stepped in, and everything just clicked into place.
Even after our move from Providence to Arizona, the distance felt insignificant because of their meticulous attention and seamless communication. On our wedding day, Natalia was there bright and early, ensuring every detail was meticulously in place – from the bridal suite preparations to the punctuality of our hair and makeup teams.
Like many brides, I had my fears – would my wedding day live up to the dreams I had cherished? With Natalia and her team, these fears were quickly allayed. Yes, a few things didn't go as planned, but the way they handled every moment with such finesse, no one else even noticed. Their expertise in orchestrating our day was truly remarkable.
It wasn't just a wedding; it was an unforgettable experience, beautifully woven together by Natalia and her team. We are immensely grateful for their dedication, creativity, and warmth.
To Natalia and the wonderful team at Matchbox Events Co., thank you from the depths of our hearts. We eagerly look forward to planning more life celebrations with you!

Where to do I even start...Natalia is the most kind, patient, hardworking, detail-oriented planner and human being out there! She took on the challenge of planning our wedding in a month, and knocked it out of the park!
We were so lost in the beginning, and she took the time to walk us through every step, listened to our likes and dislikes, took our budget into account, answered every late-night text and email...the list goes on and on. She even surprised us with such sweet details at the wedding.
In the end, we were extremely happy with every aspect of our wedding day. We are so thankful to have had someone like her and her team who stayed up all night making sure every single thing was perfect.
It was more than we could have ever dreamed of. If you're looking for someone to plan ANY event in Phoenix, PLEASE do yourself a favor and book Matchbox Event Co!

Natalia and her team assisted us throughout our whole planning process. We started planning our special day a little over a year in advance. I was a laid back bride but had A LOT going on throughout this past year ( I am in doctorate school and pregnant) so although I was so excited to get married, I was stressed about all my life changes and the planning process. Her team made it SUPER easy to manage the planning process. They designated monthly meetings (weekly as needed) with clear checklists to keep us on track and make sure we hit every aspect of the wedding day. Her team was very receptive to feedback when things weren’t working for us and were quick to adapt to exceed our needs. Our wedding day was BEAUTIFUL and we have Natalia and her team to thank for making our dream a reality!! I HIGHLY recommend booking with match box event co if you’d like to have a smooth sailing planning process and a gorgeous day of experience!!
