Michelle Garibay Events

recommend Alex and her team to help with your wedding!

zed and stress fee. The day of the wedding, Carly and Sara were on top of it ALL. All our guests, other vendors, and venue were highly impressed by their services and how wonderful they were. They took care of us so well and we are forever grateful for making our day so special. We highly recommend Carly at MGE!

us, checking the status of our to-do list, offering guidance and professional opinions, and offering support when things got crazy. Our wedding was perfect down to the very last detail - she coordinated everything so beautifully and my wedding day was easy, stress free, and absolutely magical! I honestly couldn't have done it all without Alex.

ocess so easy, specially since we were an out of state couple. From the initial consultation, Michelle and Carly were so attentive of our needs and answered all of our questions. My husband and I got married on 6.29.19. We can't emphasize enough how smoothly the entire day went. We know we owe it all to Carly!! She was always one step ahead of the game the day of and if something did go wrong, my husband and I were never made aware of it because Carly must've handled it. Choose Michelle and her girls as your wedding planners; they will not fail you! Thank you so much again to Carly for the sweet personalized gift she sent us!! We loved it, and wish we could relive this day.

credible vendors that MGE had collaborated with in the past). 2) Extremely organized! Reminder emails and an interactive website that helps with budgeting, timelines, etc were much appreciated. 3) Quick to respond to our questions - texts, emails, phone calls, Michelle never left us hanging. 4) Experienced! Her experience in wedding planning really helped to refine our ideas in to a cohesive, stylish event. We were very pleased with the way everything came together on the big day and we were genuinely stress-free knowing we were in good hands. Thank you again to the MGE team!

y a special day together, which is what it should be all about! Thank you, Cara, for your wisdom, support, and guidance. With your organized and intuitive spirit, we had the best day ever.

er questions and get things done for us! We are so grateful to have found her! Anytime I had a question or needed something she was so easy to get in contact with and always very responsive! We couldn’t have done it without her! Thank you again Cara and Michelle Garibay Events!! We highly recommend using them! - The Ryans

est vendors in the area. We went with all her suggestions and couldn't be happier about how our wedding turned out! Throughout the nearly year long wedding planning process, she was always available via text. As the wedding day approached, she relieved so much stress by communicating with all the vendors and making sure everyone was on the same page. Our wedding day was magical, and Cara was present behind the scenes making sure it was perfect from start to finish. Cara is simply the best, and I would recommend Michelle Garibay Events to any future bride!

a complicated wedding because we had to bring everything in (rentals, food, bar, band, flowers etc.) and had a small space that needed to accommodate A LOT of people. Throughout the entire process, Cara was unbelievable! She was a rockstar at coordinating with all of our vendors, walking us through the day-of timeline , and ensuring that we felt comfortable and happy about everything that was planned. She even came out to Palm Springs a monthly before the wedding to meet the vendors and my family. As an anxious couple that was having a wedding at a space where no one had ever had a big event before, we had so many random and crazy questions for her. Cara always made herself available via text or phone and never made us feel crazy or stupid :). The day was absolutely perfect; everything ran so smoothly, thanks to Cara. I would recommend Cara to literally anyone getting married. She is amazing!!

ways communicating, sending reminders, and making sure our dreams came to life. We were always able to reach her at any time and she was always so kind and accommodating. Our wedding was no short of a perfect day! Michelle handled everything flawlessly and everything we had envisioned was executed beyond our wildest dreams! I already have told her we will need her for any future parties, baby showers, etc. I am so appreciative of Michelle and her team for making us always feel so special! I would recommend Michelle to anyone, and already have to other engaged couples and our wedding was only 2 days ago! Thank you for everything Michelle!!!

t what I needed - day of coordination - I could feel my stress level immediately go down. After I hung up the phone with her, I immediately called my fiancé and told him we just had to book her. Even though we hired her for just “day of”, Alex went above and beyond every step of the way. Before taking over all coordination 60 days out, Alex did a couple vendor meetings with us and helped us every step of the way. She had connections with a lot of vendors and helped us navigate the process to ensure our wedding dreams became a reality. The wedding day went off without any problems because of Alex’s incredible hard work and professionalism. She made our vision come alive and ensured everything was perfect!

th Cara and I knew I wanted to hire her. Next step was to convince my now husband that we should hire her. That may not sound great that I had to convince him but the problem is that before our wedding, my husband had no clue how much work goes into planning a wedding and making sure that day actually runs smoothly as planned. He didn’t quite understand the need for a coordinator (obviously, he didn’t do much of the wedding planning). He FOR SURE now understands just how lucky we were to have Cara. We were both amazed with how seamless our day went, we never felt stressed or rushed and we were even ahead of schedule! They also have a great website tool that I absolutely love. This tool has pretty much everything you need to plan your wedding but some of my favorite things about it was: the BEST wedding checklist ever, a great way to track your vendors (contacts, payments, contracts, etc), and the guest list manager + seating chart! So easy to use and it really kept me organized. Even with all these fancy planning tools, Cara was so quick to respond to my emails and texts. I never had to worry about anything, I knew Cara was on top of it. She is super organized, confident, and instantly puts you at ease. I would recommend Cara and Michelle Garibay Events to anyone!

a lot of money but we ended up with the most beautiful decor and the most talented vendor team all thanks to Michelle. She knows what will look amazing and makes sure you stay true to your theme or feel without getting overwhelmed by ideas from Pinterest. I could not be more grateful for her advice and hard work. She has AMAZING taste and knows exactly what goes and what can help make your wedding unique to the two of you. She had such fun and creative ideas. We were SO happy we booked her full service planning as her knowledge of the industry was so helpful. Even if I had researched or planned for two years straight (which who has time for that) I never could have put together our wedding day as perfectly as she did. She was always extremely responsive and made sure all our requests were taken care of. She knew all the best vendors and customized her picks based on our budget and style. Our day went perfectly thanks to her and her team. She took care of everything so I didn't have to stress. She is like the Fairy Godmother to every bride's Cinderella, She makes dreams come true!!

she made sure we had the best! And after talking with everyone she is well loved and I know why! If you are looking into having a wedding planner (which I highly suggest) Michelle is your person!! She will not Let you down!

finding someone who would get my type-A craziness and wedding vision, but Katie was a seamless fit from the beginning. Katie is organized, insightful, positive and supportive. Most importantly she hit the ground running alongside us and we became a team of three that worked wonderfully together. We had an AMAZING wedding – due mostly to Katie. From the look to the feeling to the special moments that made it truly ours, Katie helped guide us to that point and provided insight and support in a way that kept the last somewhat stressful days to the wedding light and breezy. As a communicator for a living, typically having a response for everything, I am finding it hard to express how much her contributions impacted our special day. There just aren’t words to describe how her genuine investment in us and our day and how that translated to relieving our stress and allowing us to soak in every moment on wedding day. This is so important when looking to add a coordinator to your team as it's your and your guests' feelings you'll remember over the little details. We had complete trust and faith in her leadership and we can’t thank her enough. “Thank you” just doesn’t seem sufficient. Katie will always have a special place in our hearts! My advice to any bride-to-be reading this is to run, don't walk to MGE. They are a true partner with your best interest at heart, have extraordinary experience and insight on events, and have warm hearts that contribute to the overall execution of the event. And ask for Katie, you won't be let down. Everyone who met Katie from my parents to MOH to our guests were impressed and enjoyed her company. I cannot recommend MGE and Katie enough! Thank you!

s gonna fit the needs for me and my husband and my family. I primarily wanted a planner to help coordinate the final details with vendors and to help with the set-up and breakdown of our event. Cara did such an amazing job that my husband and I and my family could completely enjoy our wedding day. I never once felt stressed. Thank you so much for everything!

does it flawlessly with a beautiful smile! I first spoke with Michelle after seeing her featured in an article in Exquisite Weddings San Diego. The article was about why it is important to hire a wedding planner. Her advice had me sold already. I reached out to a few wedding planners and spoke with them but no one held a candle to Michelle. When I first spoke with her it felt like she was truly listening to what I wanted and built a custom approach to my wedding rather than trying to sell me on a package. Most impressively, she wasn't even phased when I told her I changed my mind and wanted to get married in Italy rather than San Diego. It was her industry knowledge and insurmountable wedding experience (specifically destination weddings) that made our wedding so spectacular. Michelle always came to me with unique ideas, savvy recommendations, and thoughtful advice. She knows how to bring your vision to life better than you and you truly feel like she is an extension of your wedding vision. In addition to our wedding in Italy, Michelle helped plan a US reception for 150 guests in San Diego (basically a second wedding). There is a reason that everyone knows her name, sings her praises and compliments her sterling reputation. You don't become a top 50 wedding planner in CA without all those qualities and more! She knows the best vendors and contacts. The caliber and quality of any person/company she recommends will exceed your expectations. For both my wedding and US reception Michelle's planning and day of coordination were impeccable. Her meticulous organizational skills, attention to detail and calming presence allowed me to focus on enjoying the moment and have a stress free day. She was as kind to my family and guests as she was to me. At the end of your journey together you will feel as if she is part of your family and you'll want to say in touch forever. Michelle is a genuinely kind, thoughtful and sweet person who truly loves her job and enjoys making a couple's big day as wonderful as possible. I can honestly say that thanks to Michelle not only did we have a magical day but so did all of our family and friends. Do yourself a favor and hire Michelle, you won't regret it and it will be the best thing you do. Well, second to saying "I do!"

s stress free as could be with all their help. Very happy with all Katie and her team did for us!

tor but had very high turn over. From the moment I spoke to Cara on the phone she put me at ease. I wanted someone reliable and consistent but what I got was a wedding fairy godmother!! Cara went above and beyond from every phone call, email, and text. Always one step ahead, making sure our day went perfect. Cara I can’t thank you enough!!! Xoxo

). Let me tell you, this lady is worth her weight in gold! First of all, we read a lot of reviews across the internet regarding whether or not to have a wedding planner at all. Many thought it could easily be done without as I am a project planner by trade. I’m sure it could be done, but as we were venturing overseas we didn’t want to take any chances. Michelle had many many contacts with local vendors and if something was out of our price range she would either negotiate or look elsewhere. As Michelle owns MGE, it is an extremely personalised service and excellent value for money. She doesn’t like to sell a package deal, but rather tailors the wedding to the needs of the client. We had two skype calls leading up to the big day and every email I sent was answered in a timely manner. Even if she didn’t have the answer there and then, she would sent me a quick message to ensure me that she was working on it. I never felt as though I was bothering her and it was hard to believe that she was busy working on numerous other weddings.Michelle absolutely loves her job, you can tell she enjoys planning all those little details and loves every minute of the big day coming together. She never takes the easy option when creating a theme for the wedding, she took all my ideas and incorporated them into our day. Michelle knew exactly what I wanted the wedding to look like and my gosh, it was the most amazing wedding!! My husband, myself and all our guests said they’d never seen anything so amazing. We were married in a beautiful oceanside private estate in the soth west shore of the island. Our wedding celebration was truly like something out of a fairytale. It was exactly how I wanted it to be. Throughout the day, Michelle stayed behind the scenes but always near in case of any questions or problems. She was busy coordinating music, food, photography etc. to ensure a seamless day. Michelle is extremely professional, courteous, organised with an excellent sense of humour. She made our wedding the most magical day of our lives. If anyone is planning on getting married (I believe she travels all over the world to co-ordinate weddings) you will not go wrong with hiring Michelle. She was such a dream to work with. Thank you Michelle xoxo

ordinator and I assumed that was all I would really be needing. I'm super organized and detailed oriented but as the wedding got closer I was very anxious about someone styling our wedding and tying up all the loose ends. After we hired Alex she was there every step of the way throughout the planning process. Any question I had for a vendor or rental company, etc. she was on it. She spoke directly to each vendor and I didn't have to get stressed out about handling wedding details. As the day got closer Alex put together an entire timeline based on the recommendations from the vendors as well. She styled our entire wedding perfectly and helps to make every detail exactly what I envisioned. With Michelle Garibay Events each bride gets an aisle planner which is truly your wedding bible. Every bit of info goes through there and Alex would check it with me weekly to see what had changed or been added. If there is any advice I could give to a bride who is contemplating if you need a wedding coordinator or not the answer is ABSOLUTELY! Alex was so much more than just a coordinator for us. She made that day what it was. She is directly the person there for you and your groom. No venue coordinator is going to do even a fourth of what Alex did for us. I truly cannot say enough good things about Alex and the entire Michelle Garibay team. They are some of the most positive, professional, and talented people I have ever met and my husband and I were so truly blessed to have them be a part of our day!

ves she did it all with a smile and a TRUE willingness to help make our day seamless. Even our wedding party was impressed with how calm, cool, collected, and SWEET Cara was, is. We would highly recommend Cara and Michelle Garibay Events!

bring in exceptional vendors and even accept a couple of packages for us. We would absolutely recommend Tiana be part of your 'dream team' too. X

ng but Tiana's attention to detail and her impeccable organization made the process very easy! Tiana was so incredibly patient, kind, and professional from start to finish. The entire day was perfect and I attribute that to Tiana and Michelle Garibay events! Thank you SO much for all that you did!!!!!!

r in person meeting it was definitely a match made in heaven! They have a great website tool that kept me on track with my planning. I really enjoyed the website because it made working on my guest list SO much easier. It also helped me keep track of my vendor invoices among other things. Throughout the entire time that I had been planning my wedding Cara was always only minutes away. I never had to wait more than a couple hours to get a response from her via email and when we started communciating via phone she was even easier to speak with. Cara is super detail oriented and professional. I was a bride who wanted to make all my decisions and just needed someone to execute them on the day of. What I loved about Cara is that she never tried to change my mind about the choices that I made. If there was something that she felt like could work another way she suggested it but never expected me to do it. (But of course I did because her way was way better) She took my vision and went with it and I appreciate her so much for that. Her and her assistant Katie made sure that everyone was on schedule and of course kept everyone in line. Our wedding day went off without a hitch and I couldn't have been more happy. I highly recommend Michelle Garibay events if you want a seamless and stress free day! -Ema & Ian

er knew existed. She has an amazing website tool that keeps you on track with your planning, guest list, budgeting, paying invoices- everything you possibly need. Throughout the entire year of my planning, Michelle was there for me within minutes of me emailing her. She has a really good eye and helped me with decor/furniture, centerpieces / place cards, ideas and all my vendors. She really helped my envision of my day come together with all her knowledge and advice. Michelle is very professional and has worked in this industry for a while; she is well respected and holds a strong networking circle so any vendor she recommends is top line like herself. Our wedding day went off without a hitch Thanks to Michelle and her assistant Shea. (I have the sweetest photo of Shea helping our 1 year old son while he's getting announced because his cousins left him in the dust). They were both on it from set up, to keeping us on track with our timeline (I didn't realize how important that is), to breakdown. If you want a seamless stress free wedding, Michelle Garibay Events will not let you down. I already miss working with Michelle. Ally & Chris

tic. Now that I have gone through the wedding planning process, I realize how important it is to hire a coordinator who knows what they are doing. We had some issues at the venue with food service being delayed (which can mess up your wedding timeline) and Michelle was right on top of it. She also worked with Sterling Productions to pick out all my lighting colors and they could not have been more perfect! Loved how the room looked thanks to her great taste. I highly recommend her to other brides out there! Her assistant coordinator Tiana was really great as well. Thanks Michelle Garibay Events!

d relationships with every vendor you will need and every single vendor she recommended was top notch. In addition to Michelle’s excellent organization and vendor relationships, she also has an incredible eye for details while also being mindful of budgets. Michelle made design recommendations that would fit within our budget and that made all of the difference when it came to the overall aesthetic of the day. But what I like most about Michelle was her honesty! While she was always mindful of our budget, Michelle made sure we were aware of areas that she thought would need a little something extra…she’s been doing this for so long, she knows if something might look wrong and got in front of it so that we wouldn’t be upset the day of – this attribute is priceless in my opinion. Lastly, Michelle’s day of coordination was flawless…I didn’t stress about a single thing because I knew Michelle would make sure everything would go exactly as planned (and she did). Thank you Michelle for helping make our day so beautiful, special, stress free and fun!

planning program that she uses that is extremely helpful for the whole process. Overall, Michelle did an AMAZING job at handling everything for me, without taking over. I gave her my ideas of what I wanted and then I put it all in her hands to make my ideas come to life. It was so nice to be able to trust her and her vision, which made me have no stress during the whole wedding planning ( I didn't think this was possible ). When it came to my wedding day, I was very excited to see how everything was going to look like because I really had no idea. Some things I said to surprise me with and I am so happy that I did because everything turned out better than I could of ever expected, it was all so incredibly beautiful! She also handled everything the day of the wedding so I did not have to stress at all! She is very organized and on top of things so that nothing goes wrong. I highly recommend having her as a wedding planner to everyone I do and do not know. You will not be disappointed with her!

ent money on! Tiana took care of everything the day of our wedding, all I had to do was relax. She set everything up, had everyone where they needed to be and put everything away at the end of the night (I'm sure she did so much more than what I saw but it was my place to relax and thats exactly what I did) Anyways, she was awesome to work with, very sweet and handled it all. Our officiant couldn't make it to our rehearsal so she calmed me down when I was sure that the day of wouldn't run smooth because he didn't attend rehearsals with us. Anytime I asked about something she knew what was going on and when my makeup artist accidentally took my phone and I was searching for it she was on top of getting it back! Seriously, don't stress and enjoy your wedding day! Book with Michelle Garibay Events, you will not be disappointed! Tiana- you are awesome. I would have been a mess without you! ~Chris and Courtney Vialovos

thought of in planning the day of. My bridesmaids were all saying that once they get engaged, they wouldn't hesitate to hire Cara. Everyone at my wedding really noticed her hustle and had nothing but good things to say, that speaks volumes when the wedding guests notice! She helped my vision come alive and always grounded me, she always made sure the decisions were about what my groom and I wanted, not what others did. As I said earlier, she truly is the best, she is the reason my wedding was executed flawlessly!

verse with us, getting to know us and our likes. She obviously listened because she steered us to vendors for our choosing which addressed our desires, style... we simply couldnʻt have been more pleased with them all. Alex led us to choices for our officiant, florist, photographer, rehearsal dinner and night life, wine tasting tours for ourselves and our adult children, even a special hot air balloon ride. We made all our wedding plans long distance, as weʻre from Maui. With Alexʻs guidance, and personalized approach, our preferences were realized culminating with our perfect wedding weekend! Alex was present from start to finish on our wedding day, making sure all the details were taken care of. She also demonstrated great collaborative skills in working with our officiant and vendors...they all spoke highly of her as well. We highly recommend Alex Fingerlin for your wedding coordination needs.

e conversation. We hit if off right away and knew that she would be essential for us in planning our wedding. Everything about Michelle is personal and professional. The use of a shared Pinterest board and a wedding planning site were so helpful in communication. I was able to share my ideas quickly with her and she was always quick to respond. Michelle is well connected with just about the entire community of Temecula and surrounding areas, which made planning a destination wedding much easier. I was able to trust her with recommendations on all of our vendors. With every wedding there are always things that come up, Michelle was easy to work with and always calm. She did an excellent job of working with all of the personalities family and friends. I thought I had everything lined up and I ended up needing another hair and make up artist, her suggestion was more than amazing! I can not tell you how nice it was not to have to line up different family members or friends to have to set up or take down after the wedding. Her day of check lists allowed for me to bring some personal items, she and her staff put out and packed back up. So organized! We were so fortunate to have Michelle as our coordinator, I felt like I had known her my entire life as she knew exactly just what to do and when to do it. There became a moment when I became very overwhelmed before the ceremony started, she could tell and knew that I needed to have some peace and quite. She was able to get the wedding party out of the bridal suite, so it was just my mom, dad and I without hurting anyone's feelings. It will be a moment that I will always treasure that I was able to have with my parents before I walked down the aisle. If you think you do not need a coordinator, think again. Michelle is more than a coordinator. She is a muse, a listener, an organizer, a planner, an executor, a confidant and loves all things weddings. With Michelle's help our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more!

are as vital a component of your wedding as your venue, photographer, or florist. I had originally hired Michelle for day of coordination only, thinking that researching and selecting vendors would be manageable and fun. But it’s not! I quickly learned that Michelle has relationships with literally everyone in the Temecula wedding industry - EVERYONE. I could just tell her what I wanted and she knew exactly who could make it happen for me and get us connected. It only took me a month to ask Michelle to oversee the whole wedding, and as soon as I did we had all of our vendors selected within weeks and I was free to focus on the parts of the wedding I wanted to customize and make really personal (the real fun part). Everyone Michelle picked out was a perfect fit for the job and in the end it was absolutely amazing how everything came together under her direction. And when it comes to day of coordination and troubleshooting, Michelle is a life saver! True story: Two days before the wedding my mother was in an accident and unexpectedly needed specialized handicap accommodation. We called Michelle to break the news and she didn’t even flinch. She changed all the necessary plans and we were even able to rehearse everything so we were all comfortable and sure my mom wasn’t going to miss out on anything. Because of Michelle I was confident I was getting the wedding I wanted, my guests were all comfortable and enjoying everything we had arranged for them, and we got to experience everything we wanted and hoped for on our wedding day. Thank you Michelle!

t timeline and kept everything on schedule. Everything that I had planned and envisioned, came to life and was placed perfectly. I would highly recommend her, it took all the stress away knowing that she was there and handling everything with the vendors for the ceremony and reception.

come with us for that walkthrough (totally not required by the way) and basically took the lead on moving our entire event to another locations in a little over 2 weeks! We started from scratch literally driving from that walkthrough to a potential new venue. It was crazy dramatic and honestly I don't know if I would have survived without her. Not to mention- she has exceptional taste and she totally got my vision. I felt truly relaxed and had the best time getting ready knowing the day was in her hands. If you are a type A bride with a specific vision- you should get Tiana on your team ASAP. Throughout the process, Tiana guided us through and was truly professional but also super fun to be around. All of our vendors were great and maybe if there was a little hiccup, she kept them in line and on track for the way we wanted things to go. The online planning system they use was such a lifesaver also and Tiana kept things on track and organized. The day of the wedding I felt like everything just magically happened the way I envisioned it, all because of Tiana. The stress leading up to the day was totally worth it; but had we not had Tiana on our team I am certain I would not have the amazing success story of the wedding that we do and will cherish forever. I cannot recommend Tiana and Michelle Garibay Events enough.

don't need a wedding planner, think again. Every vendor was outstanding we had the best service. Michelle is a top-notch planner and I am incredibly lucky to have had her. She always made us feel as though she had everything under control. I loved everything she came up with! She respected my input and added her special touches. The day of the wedding ran so smoothly. Alex was so kind, confidant and thoughtful the day of our wedding. Alex was so incredible. Everything, every person, every moment it was our dream wedding because of them. I can't thank you both enough!

cute it far beyond our expectations. She is just as kind and easy to work with as she is brilliant, and made both of us feel like a priority at all times. There are few feelings that will compare to seeing your wedding venue for the first time after dreaming of that day all your life, and realizing that it is more perfect than you could have ever imagined. Michelle and her team could not have done a more exceptional job, and we could not recommend their services more for your own special day!

ontacts. She helped guide us the entire time, and always offered new ideas. She made our dream wedding come to life. We did not encounter any problems and she was so accessible. She handled everything which allowed us to fully enjoy our day and the whole wedding planning process. We highly recommend her!

and I's preferences as well as respecting our ideas. Expect professionalism, friendliness, suggested vendors that fit your budget and preferences, and thorough execution when choosing Michelle as your wedding planner. You will not be disappointed. Thank you, Michelle!

an easy pick for the best value and they all did an amazing job. Worth every penny!!! I would highly recommend Michelle Garibay Events.

nd it did!!! I had hired most of the vendors but Michelle fine tuned my choices and did so gracefully and calmly. She also was in constant contact with the event planner at the Westin. I must admit I was worried being 3,500 miles away. I would highly recommend her for any event. She rocks!!

he could do it with the budget that I had and was not going to charge me an outrageous fee to do so. From the minute I hired her I already had peace of mind that everything was going to be perfect and I was not wrong. Even though I only hired her for day of coordination, Michelle made herself constantly available to answer any questions that I had whenever they popped into my head either via email, text or call. She checked in regularly in the months leading up to my day and provided these amazing checklists that covered things I would never have thought of. I have gotten so many compliments on my wedding saying it was the best they had been to in a long time and I know I could not have done it without Michelle. The most amazing part was that besides providing a very closely curated pinterest and some basic contact information for the other vendors Michelle was able to pull this off without me having to do very much at all. The day of the wedding things started off a little hectic trying to get everyone in the right place at the right time but once Michelle showed up I felt a calming presence and knew that everythign was going to go perfectly. Once she arrived I was able to focus 100% on getting ready and having fun with my bridal party while Michelle worked with her team and the other vendors to put all the pieces into place. My mother and I both agree that hands down Michelle is amazing at what she does and you will not be disappointed with her work!

am went above and beyond our expectations. We trusted her with creative vendors who helped made our dream wedding a reality. Michelle is very professional, detail-oriented and very organized. She’s always on time and very dependable. I appreciate all the helpful and honest tips on what’s best to do (and not do). You’ve just got to trust her because of her invaluable experience as a wedding/event planner. My favorite memory of her at our wedding is when she stood next to me before I walk out the door and head down the aisle. Crying and overwhelmed with joy, she became a support system and friend. Thanks Michelle and team! We are incredibly grateful that you were part of our big day. So happy and still amazed at how everything turned out!

th her work. We would absolutely recommend her to family and friends. Thanks Michelle!

I spoke with Michelle for the first time, I immediately knew that she understood the vision I was hoping to accomplish on our wedding day. Michelle is extremely professional and demonstrates amazing work ethic. Michelle was available any time of day if I ever had any questions or needed any clarification. Michelle is a perfectionist in everything that she does. She referred us to the most amazing floral and décor specialist, who truly made our wedding gorgeous! I trusted Michelle to find our DJ, venue, florist, and even my hair and makeup artist! Michelle gave us nothing but the best in every area of our wedding. She is truly an expert in her field. After the wedding, my father and I were talking about how amazing our special day was for us and all of our guests. My dad then said to me, "Michelle was the best money we spent. We could never have achieved all of that without her!". I have to agree with him! We appreciate you so much Michelle! Thank you for all that you have done for us. XOXO, John and Whitney

ven for us being in Australia, communication was never an issue because she made sure we were up to date or always replied promptly. Michelle is very professional, passionate and honest and with that combination she managed to create something that won’t be forgotten not just with us but even our guest in years to come. I couldn’t thank you enough Michelle for making it all possible!

swering all our questions, making recommendations, handling details and communicating with vendors. My daughter had a lot of very specific ideas and details for her wedding and Michelle made sure that everything was handled perfectly. The wedding was absolutely stunning!! Everything went extremely well without a hitch from beginning to end. Michelle and her amazing team were awesome in every way!! I would definitely recommend Michelle to anyone planning a wedding. All of my daughter's dreams were brought to life and we were all able to enjoy each moment knowing that everything was in great hands. Thank you so very much Michelle!!

ble. Not only did Cara go ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure everything was in order for our big day, she made sure our wedding day was the absolute fairy tale that every girl dreams of! She was always available to help and give advice, and hiring her was the best decision I made in planning my wedding! Thanks Cara! You're the absolute BEST

a huge help with finding awesome vendors...which definitely make or beak your wedding day. I had not any worries on the big day she had helped so much with rehearsal , and everything and anything I needed along the way. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! Thank you so much Cara for making me feel so special and making my big day a night to remember for the rest of my life!

lpful with all my questions. I hired her as my day of coordinator but she started 60 days before and was available even before that. I almost wish I would have hired her for my full wedding planner. Words can't describle how happy I am that we decided to use her services...worth every penny and then some. My wedding went without a hitch, even if there were any issues I had no idea because Michelle handled everything so professionally. My husband and I are both so happy with how smoothly our wedding went under Michelle's eye. Needless to say, I highly, HIGHLY recommend Michelle Garibay Events! You won't regret it from beginning to end. You'll be in great hands! Thanks, Michelle, for everything- we are beyond pleased with your services :)

credible professional and has a great reputation in the industry. She was able to give us recommendations for excellent vendors and helped a ton with communications and timeline details. Exactly what we needed to execute our vision. A million thanks, Michelle!

d recommend her and her services for your wedding.

top of everything and always assured me that we were good. She really put my mind at ease and I was not disappointed. She was always quick to respond to my emails and she went out of her way to make my day perfect. She recommended the best vendors and together, I had "the dream team." My wedding was amazing and I couldn't have done it without Cara. I will definitely recommend her to all my friends and family and will hire her again if me and the hubs decide on a vow renewal in 10-20 years :) Thanks Cara!!

ortant days of your life, and from her heart she wants to help make your day absolutely perfect. She takes it very seriously and is so caring of your special occasion! It was easy to collaborate in person or even far away through e-mail or text message. She's also very honest if she doesn't think something will look good together, and will come up with an idea that will blow you away instead. When we described what look we wanted for our wedding and showed pictures, she knew EXACTLY what vendor to go to that would fit both my idea and budget. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Michelle Garibay and her team, you just have to have this wonderful experience yourself. She helped make the entire wedding process fun, exciting and stress free! In the end, seeing all her hard work put together on my wedding day, it absolutely took my breath away. It was even better than I had imagined it would be. There's definitely no other coordinator you should consider other than Michelle Garibay Events!!

passionate she is about making sure she gives couples a truly special day, we knew she was the right person for the job. Michelle was excellent at keeping in touch with us, her Pinterest page was a great way for us to share ideas about florals, colour schemes, decor, stationary, accessories etc and she really made us feel at ease throughout the whole process. Everything came together on the big day and it was simply magical all thanks to Michelle. She ensured that the vendors were where they needed to be at the correct time and spent time putting all the little details in place so we could relax and enjoy our day without any stress. We simply cannot thank Michelle enough, she is clearly the best at what she does and we would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

day of. She really pulled everything together and helped solve last minute issues. I cannot imagine what our day would have been like without her! So amazing! Thanks again Michelle!
