Natalie Sofer Weddings and Events

everything went according to plan and it was all because of Natalie. Thank you for being such a fantastic wedding planner!

needed professional help. And Natalie is just that. Absolutely professional and respectful in every way. We had a somewhat non-traditional wedding . Natalie adapted to our needs and really excelled at helping us put together a fabulous gay wedding in West Hollywood during LA Pride. It was a total dream and I really think Natalie was a big part of the success of that day.

ur dream wedding. On the day of the event she was very well organized and made sure to take care of all the details so that we could relax and enjoy our special day. The flowers were amazing, our photographer made sure to get every shot and the DJ kept everyone dancing all night. Natalie is a wonderful planner and I highly recommend her services!!!

. Everyone is still talking about how beautiful the flowers were and how much fun they had dancing at our wedding! She was extremely well organized and kept everyone on schedule and made our involvement effortless. Natalie has exquisite taste and her designs were stunning!!! We completely trusted her with our vision. I highly recommend her for any event, you'll be glad you hired her.

important that my wedding isn't cookie cutter and she really knows how to make it unique. I would recommend her to anyone, she will take such good care of you!

d. She came ready with checklists, vendor recommendations, and was adaptable to every situation, suggestion, or idea. Not only was she patient, Natalie always remained calm and collective no matter the size of the issue small or big. We even had some last minute major hiccups that began to worry whether our day was going to happen and Natalie quickly carried the weight and smoothed out the issues while bringing the whole orchestra of an event back together working with synergy and harmony. She is truly an artist intertwined with the skills of an arbitrator, mediator, and negotiator. With her on your team, you can't lose. She made our day extremely special, memorable, and one we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you Natalie and many blessings!

u feel extremely comfortable from the get go. Thanks to Natalie, our wedding day was honestly the best day of our lives. She ensured everything went smoothly, and kept us calm, cool, and collected so we could truly enjoy every moment of our wedding week. She got to know us a couple, and was there for us throughout the entire planning process. She took my extremely specific visions and honestly helped make them more perfect than I could have ever imagined. Not to mention, she is an absolute sweetheart! To all couples out there, please do yourselves a favor and reach out to Natalie. We cannot recommend her or her work higher!

t. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a wedding planner.

ything looked so beautiful thanks to Natalie and her team. It was a dream come true! If you want to enjoy your wedding day then look no further than the fabulous Natalie Sofer!!

gs in any kind of event planning, Natalie is honestly amazing at what she does and she is extremely professional. If you want to have the best of the best, have Natalie help plan your next event small or big.

le in helping us understand what kind of wedding we wanted, and what styles and ideas would fully align with our hopes and expectations. Our destination wedding in LA needed someone who could introduce and guide us through the planning process while we were on the other side of the country. In two short visits, Natalie toured us through several exceptional venues and vendors. In every case we were able to find perfect matches for every detail and idea we were hoping to convey. This did not come easily, as my wife and I did not come well prepared! Thankfully, Nat had both the patience and logistical skill to make sure our choices had time to settle, while also meeting vendor and venue deadlines. On the day of our ceremony, everything came together perfectly. Thank you, Nat! You gave us the wedding of our dreams!

nal skills, and her experience led us through an intimidating process. When our day arrived, when I needed something handled, I just pointed her at it and walked away. That was heaven. We couldn't have asked for someone better to help us.

the attention we needed (or the attention that I needed!) and made sure that our weddings were unique and different from each other. Her vendor recommendations are amazing and it doesn't matter what time you call or email her because she will respond within seconds. I live in Northern CA and she made it so easy on me while planning for a wedding in Southern CA. I needed a bit of hand holding with some of the decisions and she helped me every step of the way. She is a wonderful person and my family is so thankful for her and everything she did for us this past year. She went above and beyond and I had the wedding of my dreams. She is the best!

f which never returned my voicemail, but Natalie returned my call within a few hours and we immediately connected. She is so kind, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and responsive (which is one of the most important traits to me - can you imagine trying to finalize wedding plans and your right hand woman doesn't call you back in a reasonable amount of time?!). Natalie works with amazing vendors that will do everything they can to make your day a dream! From the design and inspiration, to catering, and the timeline, she is there every step of the way. I appreciated her bringing me down from Pinterest Heaven when I was about to go way over budget. She always asks your opinion and never over steps the boundaries, it truly is a team effort with an amazing adviser and friend. Natalie ended up planning my wedding and my sisters wedding which were 2 months apart. She is fabulous and our wedding experience as whole family would not have been the same without her. She is the best of the best!!

she does it with great style. She is organized, precise, extremely detail oriented and absolutely lovely to work with. When you are in her hands, you can relax and know that you will be taken care of completely so you can relax and enjoy every moment of your day. Dependable and Reliable Five Star all the way!!! She has a wealth of experience, the best ideas and resources to meet your every need. As an Officiant who has had the great pleasure of working with her on numerous occasions, I guarantee, you will be more than pleased and so glad you chose her to lead your team! Ask anyone and they will say the same! Mary Jean Valente A Ceremony of the Heart.

has worked at the Oviatt Penthouse and she answered all my millions of questions via email. She really helped on the day of the wedding and I wasn't worried about things going wrong or if I was missing something on the day of the wedding. Natalie let me enjoy my wedding day and for that I will be forever grateful. I 100% recommend working with Natalie for your wedding. I didn't have a headache and was able to sleep the night before my wedding. Thank you Natalie!

my crazy family members from implementing changes to the wedding that were not approved by myself or my groom. It was a pleasure to work with her and she really made things much easier for me. Thank you so much Natalie. You really helped make our day special!

th. She is firm enough to get the job done, but does it in a sweet manner somehow. That's a hard quality to find when in a stressful situation. She took any and all of my stresses into her hands, and I was then able to enjoy one of the most amazing days of my life. Thank you so much natalie! Book her now! You won't regret it :)

o will take your idea and turn it into a memorable occasion for all! I have been to several of her events and am never disappointed. I refer her consistently and my friends and associates are always grateful to me for the introduction.

m Springs. She has the ability to create an atmosphere that is not only stunning but still warm and inviting for all the guests. She works with each of her clients very personally and I can't wait to hire her to coordinate my own wedding. As a guest at her events I can honestly say the venue, the food, the entertainment and decor are always top notch. She has exquisite taste and will definitely make your guests feel like they are not only at an "event" but that they are attending a one of a kind experience that they will never forget. I've been happy to refer her to friends and will continue to think of her for all my events. She's fabulous and you'll be lucky to have her as your coordinator.

stions and listened with sincerity. She helped us make important decisions, and she gave us amazing vendor recommendations. Natalie beautifully orchestrated the vendor schedule and made sure all the details were in order and flowed to perfection. As a result, my wife and I were able to relax, have fun, and enjoy our wedding! What a wonderful feeling to know that everything is being taken care of. Natalie has this special ability to make you feel that everything is in order, and all is well. That’s because she’s on top of it! Throughout our special day, Natalie anticipated our needs and fulfilled every request. She was a constant presence of love and support. Thank you, Natalie, for helping us create the wedding of our dreams! It exceeded our expectations, and we simply could not be happier!

st interests at heart when we needed a second set of eyes on our original plans. Her calming demeanor was welcomed, especailly in the last few weeks as all of the details needed executing. Her timliness, attention to details, and constant communication with us, and the vendors made for a seemless process, and flawless day of ceremony and reception. Many of our guests shared with us they have attended well over 50 weddings, been in wedding parties, and even been married several times...and said this was one of the very best weddings they'd been too, which for them, and us, says so much about the production that goes into a wedding. Bravo Natalie! With all the love we have we won't be having another wedding (ha,ha) however, you're are our recommendation for anyone needing your services. We're grateful and appreciative of your integrity & professionalism. Many more years of creating lasting memories for others on their special day!

for Day-Of/Month-Of Planning Plus Referrals. Everyone Natalie referred to us was exceptional and most of them had already worked with her so there was a bit of a mutual admiration society, which was a great vibe to have amongst vendors. My husband and I are both producers/project managers so it was easy for us to plan everything ourselves, and having Natalie available to us as a resident expert, was invaluable. This approach may not work for everyone but it was ideal for us. Natalie was always available to us, although we were very careful not to be “those” clients, and she was responsive and responsible. We “passed the baton” so-to-speak about 1 month before the wedding and that allowed us to focus more on being present during the wedding weekend than on the logistics and details. On the day-of, Natalie had plenty to do and had an assistant with her to support her and they did a tremendous job managing everyone’s nerves, overbearing wishes, and expectations. She made sure the wedding went off as planned, or as close as possible to how we’d planned, and everyone at our wedding had an incredible time. At the end of the evening, she’d done such a great job working in the background that everything was already back in our Suite when we returned and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We would recommend Natalie to anyone in SoCal who wants an expert and who is also authentic and caring.

alternative venue options after hearing my ideas of vibe, location and budget. I ended up going with my original venue choice, but that was essentially the only piece of the wedding puzzle that I had considered prior to getting Nat on board; she had her work cut out for her. She helped me walk through the many, many “other” items that form a wedding: flowers, photographer, DJ, colors, printing, desert, décor, hair/make-up, table settings, etc.—key pieces that help make the wedding memorable. She was also open to hearing my suggestions for vendors and reached out to everyone I sent her way. In the end, I decided on each of her recommended vendors and couldn’t have been happier. Nat was accessible and prompt in her replies. She checked in periodically and communicated both in person, via email, phone and text. In a rather last minute decision, I decided to host a Friday night event for all guests, which ended up falling on her birthday. Nat was a trooper—she attended the rehearsal and then ensured that the Friday event was running smoothly before she took some time for her birthday. Focusing on the actual wedding day, the thing that sticks out the most in my mind is that we had no hiccups. I can’t find one piece of the morning of, picture session, walk-through, ceremony, cocktail reception and dinner/party that didn’t go smoothly. Nat and her team were on point! A couple of small things that show Nat’s dedication: (i) I really wanted pre-ceremony champagne for guests. Nat worked with the venue to add that to our package for free! It also says a great deal about the venue and their team--who were also amazing. (ii) Our cocktail reception was held in-doors while the dinner was outdoors, with a wall of windows separating the two spaces. Nat was pretty insistent that we should cover the windows during the flip so that the guests were shielded from the hustle and bustle going on outside. She suggested large panels of material that ended up looking amazing. It was the absolute perfect move. The big reveal post-flip was stunning. (iii) I’m not a planner and I pretty much hate logistics. Nat made sure that my laid-back approach to wedding planning in no way hindered the actual wedding. It was beautiful and fun and memorable and I couldn’t have done it without her.

the wedding day. She was there supporting me with the big plans to the smallest details. I could always rely on her to respond quickly via phone and make the time on her schedule to meet me and my vendors! Thank you Natalie, I could NOT of had the most beautiful, organized, and magical Hollywood wedding of my dreams without you!

n my wedding from start to finish, and put together a team of the most incredible vendors while honoring my budget. She advised me on the areas of where to save and where to spend money, and didn't let me spend a drop more than necessary, which was very important to my family and I. What I loved most about working with Natalie is absolutely how on top of everything she was - she never missed a chance to promptly correspond with vendors or with me, and made sure I was on track with my timeline. I felt as though I had the best personal assistant ever, which took off so much of the stress of planning. On the day of, Natalie and her team ensured the entire wedding went so smoothly. Anything I needed or wanted was handed to me before I could even ask: water, hairspray, my comfortable shoes....she and her assistants had my back every step of the way so that I didn't have to worry about the little things and could just truly enjoy my night. Natalie is truly a matchless planner and coordinator and it was such an honor and pleasure to have her be a part of my special day.

anized people, we knew our job was much more difficult because we live in Scottsdale, and the wedding was taking place in Beverly Hills. Some of our friends suggested hiring a wedding planner to do the legwork for us. However, when we contacted several planners about seven months before the wedding date, the very high prices we were quoted were way above how much we could afford to spend, and none of them were willing to do "month-of" wedding coordination services for us that would have been more affordable. Consequently, we had no choice but to continue looking at venues, and calling several photographers, florists, videographers, lighting designers, and ceremony officiants on our own. To put it mildly, we had no idea of how much time we would have to spend, all of which was extremely stressful. Then, by coincidence, a miracle happened: someone recommended Natalie Sofer to us. From the very first contact we had with her, we felt a sense of fairness, professionalism, sincerity, warmth, honesty, and experience. Of the many planners we had spoken to, she was the only one who was willing to consider the time we had spent finding the venue and some of the vendors we had already contracted with. In our opinions, her services offered a lot of value in relation to her. To say that we were relieved and extremely fortunate to have found Natalie is an understatement. During the remaining time before the wedding, Natalie kept us informed and on track every step of the way. She created a timeline and a checklist to be sure our daughter and fiancé knew what they had to do and when, and she handled all of the planning activities with the utmost of diligence. In addition, our daughter and fiancé felt very strongly about finding a “90’s cover band” for the reception. Natalie did the research, and used her multitude of industry sources to come up with three award-winning bands. After watching video clips and reviewing these bands’ credentials, our daughter and fiancé chose “The Replicas”. In addition, Natalie recommended a florist, Butterfly Florals, she had worked with many times. Natalie assured us that the florist was reasonably priced and offered great value, would be dependable, and would produce creative floral designs. Natalie’s judgment about the band and the florist couldn't have been better: they greatly contributed to the wedding’s great success. Months after the wedding, our family and friends are still raving about the music and the beautiful floral arrangements at the ceremony and the reception. On the wedding day, Natalie was always “there” for us. She and her assistants handled every detail with the utmost diligence and professionalism. All in all, the wedding photographs and video attest to Natalie's contribution to a great wedding. We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have found her, and we regret that she didn't come along sooner. Natalie’s planning services are definitely a great value to any wedding. She is a very valuable “asset” to any wedding event. We wish we had the space in this review to say more than this. For all these reasons, and more, we highly recommend Natalie to anyone who wants to be sure that their wedding will be a raving success!

er stuff. We were planning a fairly low-key wedding, but with highly demanding, high stress jobs, we needed a little more support in our corner. She was familiar with the layout, helped us navigate the unique restrictions and rules of our historic venue, and provided excellent recommendations to decorate and personalize the space. Natalie had previously worked with many of our vendors and had a great working relationship with them. She even helped us secure a photographer that ended up being a great fit for us! Natalie was easy to get in contact with, via e-mail, text and phone, and it was easy to arrange venue site visits and times to drop off decorations with her. She was flexible enough to accommodate our sometimes less that traditional plans and followed our lead on what was important to us. The day of, Natalie and her assistant, Lisa, took care of EVERYTHING. We were blown away by the attention to detail, including the layout of flowers, photos, candles and other decorations, as well as the gorgeous layout and attention to detail of our dessert table. We were able to enjoy the day and spend time with our family and friends, while Natalie took care of everything behind the scenes. She checked in with us throughout the evening, ensuring we had everything we needed and helping keep us on track time wise. Natalie was able to seamlessly pack up everything without disrupting the fun and flow of the evening (our venue required everything be brought in only 2 hours before the wedding and completely cleaned up before we left). We were happy to have Natalie's support and guidance throughout the wedding planning process - thanks Natalie!

fer took care of everything - and hit all of our specifications (like creating a 90's cover band out of whole clothe which knocked the ballroom off its feet). She was a huge smile and sense of warm relaxation in a sea of high emotions (like the multiple Triple-A emergencies we had to put out on the day of). Natalie was even there with a soothing hand after the wedding when issues came up. She is fantastic and I cannot recommend her more highly.

te her to our full planner instead of month of and it is the best decision we made. She put us in high gear and showered us with the attention and support we needed. She came to flower appointment, linen appointment, tent vendor all in the same day. She made sure we had walk throughs and run through and connected all vendors. She made sure everyone had insurance and was very organized. Natalie is now a close friend and I appreciate all. Our wedding really was a dream come true and even better than we could have imagined as our venue had never been tented or had an event that big. This wedding will mean great things for the future of events at our temple. Thanks Natalie and team!

etails. As a result, the wedding weekend was a source of joy and happiness, knowing everything was in Natalie's capable hands. She made the rehearsal enjoyable, and the wedding day perfect in every way. She also happens to be a lovely woman, which makes a big difference in your comfort level, knowing she cares and wants each guest and wedding party member to have an optimal experience. She seems to know a resource (or many) for all needs, from music to rentals to catering, and helps get the best prices possible....and when you're planning a once in a lifetime event, that is a huge plus. HIRE NATALIE!!! You'll never look back!

need to start from scratch. We found Natalie's name on a list along with some others and chatted with several on the phone. Natalie was by far the most friendly and thorough-sounding. Throughout the rest of the process she was a gem - she was willing to e-mail or chat on the phone when anything came up, and was flexible in changing things around on the day-of timeline. Not only that, she's a very nice person as well! Natalie and her assistant made our wedding day run smoothly and helped us implement our vision for our special day. I would recommend Natalie to anyone in a heartbeat! She truly made what could have been a horribly stressful day into a calm and smooth one. Even when I started to freak out at various points throughout the day (missing flower girl bouquets and other small wedding stuff), she took care of things calmly and quickly and kept me relaxed the entire time. I'm so grateful and would work with her on any event!

ts including Bar Mitzvah receptions (2011, 2016) and an upcoming anniversary party. In each instance, Natalie has demonstrated all the qualities one hopes for in an event planner (e.g. gifted listener, calm professional, and an uncanny ability to transform a messy mix of preferences, needs, and budget into a well-crafted, well run event). What distinguishes her from other excellent planners is her commitment to and capacity for routinely creating events that far exceed the expectations of her clients. We first experienced what was possible, when she came to our rescue helping us plan our older son’s Bar Mitzvah in 2011. I’d recently been diagnosed with late stage cancer and was undergoing treatment, my wife’s resilience and energy were fading, and neither of us could envision how we could manage bringing together a large number of young and old family members and friends from around the country. After a few short meetings, Natalie and her team did the rest. The entire event from beginning to end was effortless on our part and flawless in execution by Natalie’s team. Not only did the event go well, Natalie and her team were masterful at creating and maintaining a space where everyone there felt taken care of and called to have an exceptional experience -- the party and event got rave reviews. To this day we still run into friends and family who recall that “amazing Bar Mitzvah” party but we and Natalie also now receives accolades for our younger son’s Bar Mitzvah last March that Natalie planned for us. Natalie is now helping my wife and I plan a very different kind of event to celebrate 30 years together and as usual she is delight to work with. Her work is an incredible value and the results are priceless.

to treasure forever. Thank you Natalie!

rtner in planning your wedding. We hired Natalie as a full service planner - we had a venue but she got us through everything else navigated all our vendors and also set up our day after brunch. I chose Natalie over 4 other planners I interviewed because she is a real lovely person. She hasn't gone Hollywood and isn't full of herself. She is a good kind and polite lady and someone I would choose as a friend - something I think is very important in choosing a person you will spend a significant amount of time with and who will be a part of your memories forever! My husband works for the NFL so he was unavailable the entire wedding planning process until the last two months. I am not the type of gal who had been planning their wedding since they were five - I just wanted to marry my husband and had a few vague ideas on how that would work. Natalie stepped into so many hats as needed. She was the voice of reason when I fell too far down a Pinterest hole. She filtered down choices for me to two when it became overwhelming - should would say pick a or b. She understood my "vision" (which btw is not a word I would have ever used prior to my wedding) and would pull me back when I was falling into crazy ideas thrown at me. She also helped "educate" my now husband on the realities of what things cost and helped champion for the things I really wanted (hey, those napkin treatments were a must and my guests loved them!). She had so many contacts for vendors which is so important when you are spending significant sums to pay people you don't know to perform functions on the biggest day of your life. Natalie was responsive by email, text, carrier pigeon whatever works. She had a timeline and kept me on it - she would follow up with gentle prodding reminders and when necessary more forceful prodding reminders. She made a very stressful time fun and manageable. She also could help decide between white, ivory, or beige linens ... And laugh hysterically with you about how ridiculous that is when such a decision drives you to tears. Weddings are crazy and Natalie made ours fun, fabulous, and flawless. Everything was perfect! Well, actually, our cake collapsed and we didn't even know - she fixed it with some flowers and magic powers and we were none the wiser! Who knows what other problems she fixed without me ever having to know!!! As an aside, we had concerns regarding our celebrity guests and Natalie navigated his like a pro. No paparazzi problems no vendors with their iPhones snapping photos, none of that. True class, five stars, just book Natalie and have your fairy tale!!

e to all of our questions both before and during the wedding. She was there for us every step of the way and we are very grateful for her professional and personable assistance.

heck out our venue and get things sorted out. She took care of organizing all the vendors in the few weeks before the wedding and was accommodating to the large amount of items we made ourselves that needed to be setup. She brought 2 lovely assistants that really were on top of taking care of my groom and I the whole reception and Natalie made us feel so relaxed. From our first phone call, Natalie was readily available for us and kept up timely communication. Overall, Natalie made it so we had nothing to worry about on our wedding day and our venue looked absolutely stunning thanks to Natalie's team. I highly recommend her!

ighly recommend Natalie to anyone---she is the BEST!

hat was trying to nickel and dime us for everything we chose outside of their package. There is no way we could have pulled off this wedding without Natalie. Natalie is attentive and cares about her couples. She will try to ensure that you are happy and will always put you first. Most of our guests said that ours was the best wedding they had been to. No, they weren't just being polite. We knew that the day would just zoom by... Nevertheless, we had so much fun!! Natalie's vendor recommendations were superb! The DJ read the crowd very well. The cake was beyond delicious. The flower arrangements were so gorgeous! i can't say enough good things about Natalie. She is a professional who knows how to plan weddings and she enjoys doing them! Natalie is prompt with emails and calls and will work with a variety of vendors- even if she is unfamiliar with them- to give you a great wedding. She is personable, accommodating and she listens. Hire her for your wedding! She will not disappoint :) We had interviewed another planner and from the first impression, we knew that Natalie was the right choice!

the budget), feeling completely overwhelmed, and Natalie swooped in with an air of extreme competence and seemed to have everything well in hand before the end of our first meeting. Her recommendations were, without exception, completely wonderful. Moreover, I was able to maintain my sanity in the last month of wedding planning, and have a BLAST on the day itself. One of my bridesmaids nicknamed her Marriage Poppins, and she truly is practically perfect in every way!

edding (ultimately about 75 guests), the logistical load was significant. Natalie was fabulous - caring, reassuring, detail-oriented, practical, and entirely oriented to our needs. We let her know our budget and she was able and willing to work with us on our own terms. Because she is familiar with pricing for different services and has strong relationships with vendors who deliver quality for a reasonable price (within the context of the wedding world), she was a great resource in managing the budget and in helping us understand how to apportion money among the different expenditures. And because she communicated with vendors on our behalf, drawing on her existing relationships, I felt we got better value for our money than we would have without her assistance. Her vendor recommendations for a florist, bakery, and hair/make-up salon (my daughter and her fiancé had already chosen a venue, photographer and DJ) were spot on! Even more importantly, she was able to take a great deal of stewing and obsessing off our shoulders so that we could enjoy the wedding and the time leading up to it. It was vastly reassuring to know that she was managing and interacting with the venue staff both in advance and during the wedding. There was a graciousness and warmth about the day itself that I simply don't think we could have pulled off by ourselves because there were so many details that had to come together and we have no experience doing events. Thank you Natalie!

pt, organized, knowledgeable, and offered excellent guidance as we moved through the panning process. Where we weren't able to find our own vendors she made excellent recommendations for us. During the reception, Murphy's law kicked in...we had a sick niece at one of the tables and I managed to step on my bride's bustle - effective de-bustling it - both situations Natalie responded to with alacrity and aplomb. I highly recommend her.

perhaps the most valuable thing Natalie and her team brings is their ability to be personable, sincere, and supportive at all times. Whether dealing with vendors, or well-meaning family members, having someone ON your side AT your side really makes a difference as the big day draws near. Having Natalie to rely on really eases the pressure so you can enjoy and relish the once in a lifetime moments!!

Tell her what you want and she will make it happen!! We interviewed about 5 others prior to hiring. I have no regrets and her price is unbeatable. Our venue was at the Hollywood Roosevelt in the Blossom Room.

way we wanted, which was hard because we come from two different backgrounds and I live out of town. She always remained positive with all of the decisions that we made. She will find ways to make sure that you will have to most amazing wedding with your budget. We are so lucky to have found her. She turned our ideas into a reality. She made sure that we had our fairytale wedding.

She ensured that Andrea and I had a checklist of everything we need to accomplish leading up to our wedding month and once that hit; Natalie took over so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our wedding day went smooth with Natalie’s assistance and never once did we have to guess or ask for anything, it’s like everything was magically taking care of (thanks to Natalie and team)! As a same sex couple, Andrea and I wanted to ensure that all of our vendors and partners we hired to make our day special would treat us just like any other loving couple and Natalie sure did that! Plus she had experience working with other same sex couples which we found to be super helpful and comforting. If you are planning on getting married and want to make sure you have the best day of your life without worrying about anything, hire Natalie! We highly recommend her as you will not be disappointed!

ividual! 3 weeks prior to my wedding our 'big name' event planner had us far behind schedule. 11 days before our wedding he brought us a proposals from his vendors for our decor that was the price of an exotic sports car! I desperately searches to hire a new planner. In comes Natalie. She listened carefully to my situation and immediately got to work on putting me in touch with new caring, attentive vendors. She picked up the slack where the other guy was failing. In eleven days Natalie put together the wedding of my dreams at a price we felt comfortable with. Natalie's vendors & contacts proved to be absolutely invaluable! She introduced us to vendors that were talented and professional. Natalie's vendors are significantly more caring than other vendors, just as skillful and one third the cost! Natalie is not only a proficient professional, she truly cared about my event. She is so meticulous, methodical and organized. Natalie also has a very special, priceless quality. She is calm and collected along with her on point proficiency. Whenever I had a concern or worry her unflustered demeanor was of nonjudgemental acknowledgment and then quick response. She possesses a trait that just helped me feel tranquil during this (at some points for me) chaotic process. She brought to my attention the details that makes your big day special to you. She tends to your wedding as Not just another event but a Very Special Event. Natalie will pay great attention to what is significant or meaningful to you and your fiancée. And with that knowledge she will creat your wedding event that you, your family and friends will experience seamlessly with your unique fingerprint on the day.

fiantly be calling upon her for my future wedding...hint hint to the bf :)

oy the day without stress. I cannot thank her enough for her professionalism and her hard work. I recommend her highly.

ing other new couples create their dream wedding. From both of us, much love and appreciation.

ngs together and make sure everything goes according to plan at the wedding. When reaching out to Natalie, she was very responsive and detail-oriented, asking a lot of questions and providing lots of materials up-front, a fact that really sold us. We were truly convinced that Natalie would be the best person for us, someone we could always reach and rely on to chase down our vendors and keep everyone on track! She started working with us about a month before the wedding, meeting with vendors and just taking a lot of things off our plates. On the day of the wedding, she was making sure that everything ran very smoothly and that my wife and I didn't have to deal with tedious details or logistical questions on our special day. I can definitely recommend Natalie as a wedding coordinator: throughout this process, she was very attentive and detail-oriented, punctual and responsive. Moreover, she never tried to sell us on any ideas that weren't in our best interest and she worked very hard to rain-in some of our other vendors who were trying to charge us above the market rates. Natalie did such a fantastic job in making us feel like our opinions were heard and she really ensured that everything went according to plan on our special day!

day. Natalie knew how to work and manage the venue's staff so that every decoration and detail got set up and followed wonderfully. And, when there were problems, she resolved them quickly. One of the simple, but stand out moments of "Whew!" that I experienced was when we were taking all of the family photographs and Natalie had already given our photographers a whole list of images to capture before the ceremony, during the ceremony and after! With all the prep for the day, I just never got around to doing it. With Natalie, it was handled without me even needing to say anything.

mmunication with vendors and knew what to ask when we didn't. All-in-all, she made our day flow and with less stress. We're thankful that we got her.

ests was less than 100 people, virtually all of whom flew from the East, and although the ceremony/cocktails/reception were all in the same venue, Natalie Sofer was unable to handle most wedding details. She made so many errors and omissions that our daughter, the bride---a very composed professional woman---was close to tears on her wedding day. Though Natalie seems sweet, she lacks basic competence and trustworthiness. For instance, without even asking the bridal couple/family (who had paid thousands of dollars to a top-LA photography team), Natalie Sofer deliberately violated the signed, written, photography contract. Without the knowledge or permission of the couple/family, on the day of the wedding, Natalie changed the outdoor photography shooting time to two hours later, something contrary to the written contract that was designed to capture the best light. Result: the pricey wedding photographs are not as good as they should be, because of Natalie’s interfering with a written photography contract. Natalie also is disorganized, doing things at the last possible moment. For instance, in the bridal suite, two hours before the wedding, Natalie was still preparing reception-seating placecards! She also lacks attention to detail. For instance, though Sofer Natalie told the groom’s parents to walk him up the aisle, then the bride’s parents to walk her up the aisle, Natalie did not check to see that the chairs in the very large ceremony room were set up, so as to provide an aisle that was wide enough for three normal people to walk. Result: Because the aisle barely held two thin people, across it, the thin bride/groom mothers had to walk up the aisle by turning sideways, smashing into guests/flowers, and attempting to walk partly behind the other two family members. The only reason Natalie Sofer did not completely ruin this wedding is that several family members and I stepped in, two days before the wedding and on the wedding day, to correct some of Natalie Sofer’s errors and omissions. Thus, despite the fact that the couple had a great band, great food, great photographers, and great florists, Natalie Sofer ruined the day. What should have been a joyous family wedding was instead a scene of stress, anxiety, and wasted money.

d us sew throw pillows!), food and drinks, venue coordination, and much more. Natalie went far above and beyond what I expected in a coordinator and put hours of planning, effort, and care into helping the day be extraordinary. My favorite thing about working with Natalie is how much of herself that she invests in her clients. She really cares and will do everything she can to make sure the bride, groom, and guests have the best experience possible. She even helped me get my fiancee to do his part and respond to emails when I didn't want to nag him :-). I truly appreciate Natalie's grace, dedication, and willingness to do everything in her power to make each event absolutely magical.

with ease, grace, professionalism and knowledge and made the clients and participants comfortable and well rehearsed before the rehearsal dinner and the wedding itself. There was no stone unturned, nothing left to chance and the rehearsal dinner, gift bags for wedding party, food, drinks, everything was amazing. It was only outdone by the wedding itself which was extraordinary. She was there to make sure everything went according to the plans. It was an exceptionally beautiful and moving event and nothing was left to chance. In the meantime, I have been to a number of other events she planned including birthday and holiday events and all of them were done with the same expertise and attention to detail as the first when I met her.

l vendors she recommended. The flowers and decor were breathtaking. Having a coordinator and her assistant to help keep the timeline from falling behind, I never appreciated the importance of a wedding planner. My family felt so relaxed and at ease all day. Our family loves to dance and the DJ Natalie recommended did not disappoint! My daughter and I are so grateful to Natalie for a perfect day of beautiful memories.

and knowledgeable about every aspect of a wedding. She also made me feel extremely comfortable. From the moment that I sent in an inquiry for her services, she was very responsive, very attentive to my needs and concerns, and she instantly made me feel at ease. She always made herself available when I had something to discuss and helped to ensure that our vendors were responsive as well. I am so happy that we had Natalie as our coordinator and that because of her we were able to relax more the day of our wedding and really enjoy our great celebration.

akes great pride in her ability to create very personal bonds with her clients. I highly reccommend her and her staff!

way from the beginning to the end and she had no restrictions on time - I know she is very busy, but whenever we met, she was never rushed or hurried, but 100% focused. She's available via phone, email and text regularly. In addition, she was willing to help with any aspect of the wedding and always had an idea to suggest or a contact to share, which saves tons of research time! We definitely benefitted from her extensive knowledge and experience. When we hired Natalie, there were still a few vendors we needed - cake, photo booth, flowers. She had immediate suggestions for us. The cake vendor (Joanie and Leigh Cakes) and photo booth (Photo Mania - Jack Lillian) vendors were especially stellar. Most important of all, she kept us on track time-wise on our wedding day and managed a number of complicated situations including flower delivery to the reception venue (my uncles did the flower arrangements and were in from out of town so there was no delivery truck, just a bunch of groomsmen to help carry down the street from the Biltmore Hotel - great photos!), multiple drivers moving people around, and multiple locations for getting ready, ceremony, and reception. Natalie and her staff completely handled decorating the venue (Cicada) - we literally gave her all of the boxes of stuff (name cards, photos, candles, bathroom baskets, etc etc) and walked in after the ceremony to the most beautifully decorated space. Literally, perfect. Natalie is a hard worker, has fun, is constantly innovating, has tons of contacts, and isn't caught off guard by any issue that pops up, she just starts solving it. She has helpful lists to keep you on track and is available to you and checking on you throughout the planning process. She also reaches out to all of your vendors ahead of time and introduces herself as well as confirms the details and schedule for the day so that everyone is on the same page. She is there from beginning to end on the wedding day to make sure everything goes smoothly. Best of all, she's so friendly and likable - I will definitely be keeping in touch with her on Facebook moving forward! Finally, Natalie offers very competitive pricing. I reached out to about a dozen wedding planners and had phone conversations to interview them. No one else offered Natalie's level of experience, connectedness to vendors, number of ideas, and 100% commitment to the event for such a terrific price.

state, find excellent vendors for my wedding and keep my wedding budget in check. If it was not for Natalie, I would have been completely stressed out and not able to enjoy my big day. The venues she suggested, the florist, the photographer and the DJ were all excellent in making my wedding day so special. She was extremely helpful in working with my parents planning events for my wedding and the day before with them and helped them a lot set up the Sangeet and Mehndi ceremony in their home. The day of the wedding, there were so many things had to be done on schedule and she kept everything going at the right time. I was very lucky to have Natalie as my wedding planner. The only suggestion I had for her would be to have a fully trained assistant for the day of the wedding event as it is very difficult for one person to do everything in a wedding of 150 people.

re-meetings, emails and phone calls. After I found out we had mutual friends via Facebook, I was even able to have friends vouch for her integrity and abilities, which were spot on! Having Natalie be a part of the team of professionals at our wedding was a very good decision, and I wouldn't have done anything differently. Thank you Natalie!

you know, you know. I feel like I won the lottery with Natalie. She's affordable and even though she was my 'month-of' planner she was in touch with me and guided me along before she was technically supposed to be working for me and was very responsive. Her soft but deliberate demeanor was what really made our experience enjoyable and stress-free. On the wedding day she was calm and collected, she put her extra special touch to make things look elegant even when I told her I didn't care to go the extra mile. She did it anyway. And now I know I'll see it in my pictures and I'm so glad she did. Natalie genuinely wants your wedding to look and feel the best it possibly can and she has the experience to know where it's needed even when you have no idea. Thank you, Natalie!

e even known to think about, and someone to help our day run smoothly so we wouldn't have to worry about as much on the day. Natalie was wonderful from our first meeting. She emailed us a to-do list timeline for the months leading up to our wedding so that when she came in for the month-of coordination, we would be on track. When it came to the month, she created a day-of timeline, contacted vendors for any small adjustments, and was quick to respond with any questions we may have had. On our wedding day, she was essential to helping set up our sweets table (and that was no easy task)
