and our vision, which made everything feel incredibly personal and intentional. Throughout planning, Taylor was extremely organized and on top of every detail. She seamlessly handled communication and coordination with all of our vendors, ensuring everything was aligned—from insurance and timelines to setup and rehearsals. We were especially grateful for her familiarity with our venue, which gave us so much confidence going into the big day. Because of scheduling constraints, I wasn’t able to be involved in any of the setup, so I had to fully trust Taylor to bring everything to life—and she exceeded every expectation. Everything was executed exactly as I had envisioned, down to the smallest details. Our wedding day felt absolutely perfect and ran so smoothly.

f everything but in a way that never felt stressful or overwhelming. They’re also just genuinely great people so funny, friendly, and easy to be around. They made the entire experience feel fun instead of chaotic, which meant so much to us. On top of that, they handled all the crazy family dynamics and any little bumps along the way like absolute pros! They put certain family members in their place and put the Bride and Groom first.  We didn’t have to worry about a thing because they were so reliable and always had everything under control. They made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day which was the absolute best and less stressful. We felt totally supported the whole time, and because of them, we were actually able to relax and enjoy our wedding day. Couldn’t recommend them more.

xperience and familiarity with our venue and other vendors, and coordinated logistics flawlessly leading up to and on the day of the wedding. If any issues came up, I don't even know what they were because Mikala and her team handled them so quickly and professionally!

everything you would want in a planner to lessen the stress of wedding planning. She answered my endless questions in great detail and always had our best interest in mind. She was truly the magic sauce that made our special day run so smoothly. From our first call, to our rehearsal, to the big day, and even after the big day when we were still working through some vendor details, she was an absolute delight! Would 10000% recommend MAE and Taylor!!

el of thoughtfulness, organization, and calm that immediately put us at ease. She has an incredible ability to balance detailed planning with genuine care, which made the entire process feel not only seamless but actually enjoyable. Ashley kept everyone on track with timing and logistics in a way that never felt stressful or rushed. She anticipated needs before they came up, handled details quietly and efficiently behind the scenes, and made sure every moment flowed exactly as it should. Knowing she was there allowed us to be fully present and truly enjoy our day without worrying about anything at all. What made Ashley stand out even more was the personal care she showed beyond just coordination. After our wedding, she sent us the most thoughtful message that truly meant so much to us. That level of kindness and intentionality speaks volumes about who she is—not just as a wedding coordinator, but as a person. It was clear that she genuinely cared about us and our experience, not just the checklist. Ashley is professional, warm, incredibly organized, and deeply invested in making each couple’s day feel special and personal. We are beyond grateful for everything she did and cannot recommend her and MAE highly enough. Our wedding day was everything we hoped for and more, and Ashley played a huge role in making that possible.

this amazing ability to create a completely stress-free atmosphere while still being on top of every single detail.

On the wedding day, multiple guests, vendors, and members of our bridal party went out of their way to rave about how amazing she and her team were. They handled everything behind the scenes with such professionalism and warmth that we were able to fully enjoy every moment without a single worry. Even a year later, we’re still so grateful for Mikala. She is genuine, down-to-earth, and truly goes above and beyond, getting everything done exactly how we envisioned it, if not better.

We never had a worry working with Monge Amore Events and when the big day came everything went off perfectly! Ashley is truly Wonder Woman when it comes to planning weddings!

Our wedding was honestly the best day of our lives and this is something that would not have been possible without Monge Amore Events <3 Our guests kept commenting on how organized, beautiful, and enjoyable to day was and continue to tell us to this day! We owe that entirely to Ashley and the entire Monge Amore team. If you’re looking for a team who is reliable, detail-driven, and truly dedicated to making your day unforgettable, look no further. We can’t recommend them enough! 

ways ten steps ahead. At some point, I stopped stressing about the to-do list and just looked to Mikala for what came next because she always knew exactly what needed to happen. Her experience and knowledge were invaluable. Anytime we had an idea or vision, she worked with us to make it happen in the best and most seamless way possible. Mikala is also so warm and approachable, which made it easy to ask her all our questions (even the dumb ones). It always felt like chatting with a friend instead of a vendor, which made the entire process so much less stressful. Communication was flawless. She replied quickly to emails and texts and was always happy to hop on a call when needed. On the wedding day, Mikala was the absolute MVP. Every last-minute issue was met with her calm "don't worry, I've got this," and she truly did. She and her team had everything handled so perfectly that we didn't have to lift a finger. We got to enjoy every second of our wedding and literally ride off into the sunset (because they packed everything up for us at the end of the night!!). We will forever be grateful. So much love for Mikala! 💕

e kind of planner who makes everything look effortless, even though you know she’s working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure every detail is absolutely perfect. She kept us perfectly on schedule, coordinated seamlessly with all of our vendors, and somehow managed to anticipate every need before we even realized it ourselves. Thanks to her organization, calm demeanor, and expertise, our entire day flowed beautifully without a single hiccup. We were able to be fully present and soak in every moment because we knew Mikala had everything handled. What truly sets Monge Amore Events apart is their heart. Mikala and her team care deeply about their couples and it shows in every thoughtful touch. From the timeline prep to the way they transform a vision into a flawlessly executed celebration.

e. She was the ‘Type A’ queen that every bride needs. She seamlessly communicated and worked with all of our other vendors, so it took such a weight off of our shoulders. Taylor met with us whenever we needed her and helped us with basically any question we had about planning our wedding. Something we really loved about MAE was also that they often work closely with so many popular venues in Southern California. Our wedding venue had worked with MAE so many times, which was amazing for so many reasons. We felt like we were in the best hands from start to finish. Taylor and her team set up ALL of our wedding decor as well on the day of. I curated tons of decor (between lamps, signage, staging props, etc) so I was always a little worried that we’d probably need to send a bridesmaid or groomsman to help set up, but Taylor and her team handled everything perfectly and precisely. We are still so grateful for Taylor and the entire MAE team and how they truly were a huge reason why our day was absolutely perfect. I had always tempered expectations for our actual wedding day, because it’s natural that some things will go differently than you expected - However, we literally had a perfect day. My husband and I have only beautiful memories from our wedding day and I cannot believe how lucky we are to be able to say that.

sly and allowed me to truly enjoy every moment without stress. If anything wasn’t perfect, I’ll never know, because they handled it before it even reached me. It is so worth it to have professionals running the day while you simply get to enjoy it. Thanks to them, my wedding day was everything I dreamed of and more. I cannot recommend MAE enough, my day wouldn’t have been possible without them! 

away. I (the bride) was most stressed with how to plan the logistics for the day of and Taylor handled it with clear communication and support and from that day I knew we were going to be well taken care of. On the day of, Taylor went above and beyond to help us enjoy our day and truly thought about the small details - like saving some appetizers for the bride and groom so we wouldn't go hungry ;) She also handled a change in the speech schedule with so much grace that the guests did not notice anything - which in turn helped us stay calm. We are beyond grateful for Taylor's work and professionalism and if you want peace of mind on your wedding day, I cannot recommend M.A.E and Taylor enough!

ings easy. Although she was technically our day-of wedding coordinator, she was extremely helpful throughout the wedding planning process. Taylor is a true professional and I am certain our wedding day would not have been perfect without her involvement and expertise. Thank you for everything Taylor!

hether it be in person, online, or over the phone. You made such a great impact on our special day. We cannot thank you and Julia enough for your incredible work as our day- of- wedding coordinators! From the very beginning, you both were so kind, patient, and ensured every detail was taken care of.  The MAE team made sure that Eric and I were well-fed and always had a drink in our hands, which allowed us to fully enjoy our special day. Our wedding was nothing short of perfection, and we know it was largely due to the amazing behind-the-scenes efforts of the Monge Amore Events team. Your hard work and dedication truly made a difference, and your passion for what you do shines through in every interaction and detail. Thank you for making our day so memorable! We love Monge Amore Events! The Riveras 

several people, we knew immediately that Taylor would be a perfect fit for us-and we are thrilled to say that we were right! Taylor is extremely professional, caring, prompt and tough when needed! She organized everything beautifully, had great recommendations, and kept us informed every step of the way. Needless to say, our wedding went off without a hitch. Thank you Taylor and M.A.E.!

ons we had, she put so much care and detail into every aspect of our special day. Nothing went wrong the day of (at least not that we know of ;) She even helped with contacting vendors, responding to questions from vendors I didn’t know how to answer, and would hop on calls to organize the little things. Taylor knew how to create amazing solutions calmly & quickly under pressure- even at 7 months pregnant! We couldn’t recommend her & the team enough. Thank you Taylor!

ylor, I knew she’d make my wedding day the best day it could be. She literally guided me through the entire process from start to finish in the planning. The rehearsal was perfect and she took all of my decor with her to set up for the next day. Most importantly— the day of my wedding, she made me feel incredibly special and made everything so easy for me to enjoy my day. I’m so grateful that I got to work with Taylor and her team!

a was on top of every detail, managing all logistics with my vendors and making the planning process feel seamless and stress-free. She communicated clearly, was always organized, and ensured nothing slipped through the cracks. Her professionalism and dedication gave me complete peace of mind, knowing everything was in great hands. On the wedding day itself, Mikala went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. She coordinated timelines, managed vendors, and kept the entire day flowing perfectly so I could focus on enjoying the celebration.

edding/reception were perfectly executed by Mikayla and her team. They were with us every step of the way down to the last detail. I highly.recommend Michaela and her team with Monge Amore!

Taylor. I was lucky enough to work with these ladies on back to back events this past month and my job was made even easier working with these ladies. Their communication was clear and timely, which made collaborating so smooth and stress-free. On the big day, they showed up early, were fully prepared, and handled every detail with care and grace. It’s easy to see how much heart they put into their work — and it shows in the final result! We’re always excited to work alongside vendors who elevate the entire experience for couples, and Monge Amore Events does exactly that. If you're considering them for your wedding or event, don’t hesitate — you’re in excellent hands! Looking forward to many more events together!

lor was a dream to work with at Casa Romantica and knew the place and flows for other events. Day of, she and Mikayla were professional, kind, and fun! They solved problems before anyone knew things were wrong and loaded up our car for us at the end of the night so we literally did not need to worry about a thing. Our wedding day was a dream because of their hard work!

ation, she was checking on me throughout my entire planning process. Once the month came, she was extremely organized and detailed in her coordination. The weekend of my wedding, I got overwhelmed by emotion, but Mikala eased all my anxiety and made sure she took care of every detail. I am forever grateful for Mikala and the MAE team for helping create one of the greatest memories of my life and for helping my wedding day happen so seamlessly!

al day of helper so we landed with 3 lovely MAE girls at our wedding reception. To start this off this was one of our last vendors that we brought on because our wedding location required at least a day of coordinator (Rancho Las Lomas). And on top of that what we had in our budget for this service was under where the market rate was falling. So, we came into this a little skeptical on adding the service. However, when it was all said and done it was the best investment and I cannot say enough times how AMAZING the MAE team was for our wedding. They were extremely helpful in the planning process for the last minute things we were not thinking of and even better super quick with their responses. They assisted us with the tasting for our catering, the final walkthrough with our venue, coordinating and organizing the last few things with our vendors, preparing our day of timeline, and just being helpful for any other questions we needed. If the prep was not enough the day of they could not have been more helpful. Kylia and Ashley worked with all our vendors to ensure everything was set up and ready to go, helped our guests, and most importantly were so attentive to us during the reception that by the time we sat down for dinner myself and my husband were actually a bit full because we had too many appetizers (literally unheard of). If you are on the fence about getting a coordinator or who to get you should for sure do it and 100% need to go with MAE.

of the way whenever we needed her. Everything went so smoothly on our wedding day thanks to Taylor.

reception, the attention to detail and dedication to making our vision of a beachside tropical wedding was remarkable. Taylor was an absolute standout, accompanying us through every step of the planning process. Her expertise was evident in everything from vendor selection support to timeline management. What truly set her apart was her personal touch – she took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and brought those ideas to life seamlessly! The day of our wedding ran flawlessly thanks to Taylor's meticulous coordination. She handled all the behind-the-scenes logistics so we could focus entirely on enjoying our special day with family and friends. Her calm and professional demeanor kept everything running smoothly, and she anticipated needs before they even arose. Working with Monge Amore was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

We got to just enjoy the day without worrying about a thing, knowing Taylor had everything under control. She truly helped bring our vision to life and made our day unforgettable.

From the moment we began planning, Mikala and her team demonstrated an extraordinary level of attentiveness, from the big-picture vision down to the smallest details. Their hospitality made not only us but also our friends and family feel so well cared for—everyone had nothing but praise for MAE. Thanks to Mikala and her team, Krisha and I were able to completely let go, immerse ourselves in the moment, and savor every second of our special day without a single worry. What set Mikala and Ashley apart was their dedication throughout the entire process. Mikala personally designed all of our wedding signs and carefully crafted the layout, attending every meeting related to our design.

ook the time to truly understand us and our vision, leveraging her extensive knowledge of our venue to bring our dreams to life. Her vendor suggestions were spot-on, helping us assemble an A-team that exceeded our expectations. As the big day approached, Mikala's expertise shone even brighter.

The M.A.E team shows genuine care - not just for us, but for our guests, family, and other vendors. Their professionalism, fun-loving nature, and kindness created a positive atmosphere that permeated the entire event. They lead by example, going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, smooth, and harmonious. Choosing M.A.E was undoubtedly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

signed day of coordinator and she was awesome. She guided and supported me all the way up until my wedding. I think because she is organized and prepared and asked the right questions, I can confident say that my wedding turned out perfectly without much hiccups. My guests were very impressive with everything and my in laws were so happy for their son. My wedding was at Casa Romantica in May 2024. Casa Romantica is a small venue beautiful in San Clemente, they are only a venue not an all inclusive place. Casa Romantica has been around for a long time and they have a vetted quality list of required vendor list/recommended vendor list. The reason I chose Monge Amore is because of that trusted list. Another reason, I chose Monge Amore is because they did a beautiful photo shoot for Casa Romantica. The venue had just experienced a devastating landslide and Casa Romantica asked Monge Amore to come up with a Mock Wedding to advertise their venue to show that couples can still have a beautiful wedding there. I saw this Mock Wedding photos and fell in love. After research and finding a list of all of the vendors used in this shoot, it solidify my decision to choose Monge Amore. I contacted Monge Amore sometime in August 2023 requesting a day of coordinator. Taylor introduced herself over email and sent me a packet to fill out to prepare for my wedding. She wanted to know all the details about everything, and got me thinking of things to consider & asked all the right questions. We had a zoom call early January to discuss it all. As the wedding got closer we have another call to finalize the list and ask questions. She was always available and responsive if I had any question or needed advice. Taylor exceeded my expectations. Part of my wedding, I did the decor myself and Taylor was in charge of setting it all up on wedding day. I made her a list of everything and where to put it. She has a creative eye and made it look beautiful. On the wedding day, like I said, everything ran exactly as we discussed and planned and I was worry free as a bride thanks to Taylor and her team. For me, it was important to have a day of coordinator that was always thinking ahead and is well ready for wedding day. She did a great job and would highly recommend for future brides. Thank you so much Taylor and wishing you all a wonderful and successful wedding day just as I had!

to find someone not just great at what they do, but someone kind and fun who could simply be our built-in-bestie throughout this whole process! Weddings can be so overwhelming, especially if you're not huge on being center of attention like we are. But Mikala and her day-of assistant, Regina, made us feel so at home. Leading up to the wedding, she was always easy to get ahold of and very detail oriented, which I absolutely loved! She listened so well and tailored our special day to what was important to us, as we veered away from super traditional. Day of, she kept me in the loop the entire event, and handled every random obstacle like a pro. I’ve already recommended her to so many of my friends!! Thank you Mikala!!
