P.S. & Associates Event Planning

ted to prioritize paying for a full planning package with a wedding planner given our busy schedules. It was the absolute best decision we made going into a year of wedding planning. From our first meeting with Chabeli, she was super in tune with our desire to properly scale our wedding for a smaller event, somewhere around 50 guests, and to stay as close to our budget as possible. Her diverse vendor list helped us stick to one of our other priorities, to hire as many minority-owned small businesses as possible. When a dire family medical emergency came up just six months before our wedding date, when we expected to go in deep on wedding planning, Chabeli was super encouraging that she wouldn’t bother us until we absolutely needed to make decisions, which allowed us to continue tending to our family needs full time. Come the final weeks before our wedding, Chabeli and her team kept on top of things we definitely didn’t even realize we needed to take care of. Our wedding day ended up being an absolute dream. So many people told us they wanted to duplicate so many big and small details for their own nuptials!

g throughout the year-long planning process. She is organized and realistic about what's possible with your budget and offered great advice around how to stretch every dollar the furthest possible. She navigated any hiccups with grace and every vendor she recommended - florals, hair/makeup, photography, you name it - was on point. We also had multiple vendors tell us privately that they LOVED working with Chabeli and we had made a great decision. She understood the exact vibe we were going for and executed on it to perfection. Day of, she and her team were all prompt, organized, and kept us feeling grounded and taken care of. Plus, they're just so fun to be around. So grateful for this team!

hing that they didn’t handle perfectly and with ease. They made the event super enjoyable for our family as we didn’t have to worry about a thing. They held our hand all the way through the planning process through the actual events. I could not recommend them any higher. This was a 3 day event with multiple parties and photo sessions of which each one went smoothly and seamless. Also their recommendations of different vendors was helpful of which they were also very professional and top tier. Thank you again Chabeli and team you are a rare gem in your business.

ing grounded and calm throughout the wedding weekend. We could not recommend working with PS Plans more!

e entire planning process feel like a breeze - and we were planning a wedding in Santa Barbara while living in Texas! Chabeli and team went above and beyond from the first planning call, to styling details, all the way through to the making it happen on the wedding day. Details I would never have even thought of were taken care of with personal touches along the way that made the day so memorable. Everything went off without a hitch (as far as I know!) which is everything you want in a planner. We really got to show up to our own wedding and enjoy the entire day with zero worries. If I could do one thing again for my wedding it would be to hire Chabeli and PS!

ue's menu tasting and started taking detailed notes of all our thoughts and feedback. I'm extremely Type A and Chabeli thought of details even I missed. On the day of, my husband and I each had someone on hand to help us with everything we needed and to make sure we arrived where we needed to be. My guests keep commenting how seamless and well organized our entire event was, and it all came together thanks to Chabeli. The thoughtfulness and care they took with our day were truly unmatched.

isagreements with venues or parents, Chabeli stood up for us and always had our best interests at heart. On the wedding weekend, we got to enjoy every moment to the fullest because her team of rockstars were taking such incredible care of us and keeping everything on track. Best team!!

t was obvious all that they would do to make our wedding a success. They were with us every step of the way, guiding our vendor selection process, keeping our timeline on track, and thinking through all of the tiny details we wouldn't have thought of ourselves. Chabeli and team are so experienced, they truly know how to solve any challenge that comes up along the way. When I had a major issue with my dress, Chabeli was a text away and immediately knew who to connect me with to help solve the issue. When it came to our wedding day, I felt 100% at ease knowing everything was taken care of by her team. I cannot say enough about what an amazing job they did to make our day perfect. On top of it all, Chabeli, Sheena, and the rest of the team were such a joy to work with. They're fun, kind, and really care about the couples they work with. Would recommend them to anyone looking for an increddible planning team.

h support from Chabeli started months prior. We were so impressed with her professionalism, organization, and amount of experience in the wedding game. (And with how fun a person she is, too!) We had never planned an event of this magnitude before, and receiving so much clear, knowledgeable info as well as personal recommendations for some questions we had even before officially signing PS Plans on made us feel very taken care of immediately. This support never wavered - Chabeli was always there for us no matter what we needed help with. She also had so many awesome suggestions that really helped tie everything together and give our guests a more enjoyable experience. It was the perfect balance of us DIY-ing most elements, but then getting to hand everything over to be set up - We loved getting to see how everything came out, they did a fantastic job! Of course come our big day, there were a few fires to put out - Our officiant had an emergency, and Chabeli was calmly at the ready with plans B & C and the fact that she’s ordained so everything would be official no matter what. (Truly, Chabeli could probably put on a one-woman wedding!) As the day progressed, we had a great deal of issues with a major vendor - Chabeli was with me and the other ladies getting ready throughout the morning, and I’m sure she was fielding stressful updates, but I never felt any of it and got to focus on all the bride things! Honestly it just felt like Chabeli was another friend hanging out and having fun while we got pretty, though definitely the organized friend who makes sure you ate and everything’s ready to go! Doing final prep at the venue and leading up to the ceremony, Chabeli was there for me 100%; she and the team were pretty deep into damage control for our least motivated vendor, but she got me dressed, through first look and initial photos, and down the aisle without any concerns butting in! We were given details later, but PS Plans did not let any issues affect our enjoyment of our day in the slightest - Our guests as well all had a great time! Endless appreciation for Chabeli, Sheena, Jeannine, and Meredith and their quick thinking, their capacity to stay collected, their immeasurable amounts of professionalism and flexibility, and their ability to remain lighthearted joys to be around through all the major issues they had to deal with! They also made sure to take photos and notes to document all of the issues that our least motivated vendor caused - Not only do we have those to support us in pursuing a partial refund, but Chabeli is still a part of our team weeks later to help us handle this big issue! To say that PS Plans went above and beyond all of our expectations is a huge understatement. Without a doubt our day could have majorly tanked were it not for how they handled everything. If we could host another wedding without all the wild occurrences just so we could have more fun with them, we totally would! We cannot recommend PS Plans enough - We are so grateful for them in getting our day to be absolutely perfect despite the behind-the-scenes chaos!

and recommendations around the vision you are going for. She's particularly skilled at doing this, even if you are someone like myself who doesn't identify strongly as a 'bride' and gets hives when they think about pinterest boards - but at the same time has super strong opinions about what they want and don't want. I gave Chabeli a list of incredibly vague adjectives when I was describing the vibe we were going for and she was able to translate that into the exact vision and aesthetic that we were so terrible at articulating. Lastly, no matter how stressed you are or how behind you feel, Chabeli maintains a calm and positive 'let's get this done' attitude which I really appreciated. So grateful to have them on our team!!!!!!

while handing you champagne. They think of every possible detail, help deal with the trials and tribulations of family fun during wedding planning, and make sure that your day is actually the day that YOU want. Just a few things Chabeli helped navigate for our wedding: -- COVID rescheduling -- MASSIVE wildfire on the property two days before the wedding -- Vaccination requirements -- Bus driver who got pulled over en route to the wedding Honestly, outside of picking my hubby, Chabeli was the best wedding decision I made. HIRE HER. YOUR WEDDING WILL BE INCREDIBLE.

eli, Sheena + Jeanine. Their helpful + engaging personalities, their organization + attention to detail, their help keeping things running on time, managing family dynamics + photos, is true perfection. My (FINALLY) husband + I were supposed to get married on March 28th, 2020, but COVID had other plans. In the very beginning of the pandemic, when no one knew what was going on + when the world shutdown, Chabeli managed to get our entire wedding postponed in a matter of days. Then, when we had to postpone a 2nd time, it was again taken care of in less than a week. Every single experience with Chabeli has been incredible. She is so helpful, incredibly responsive, + is great at helping you figure out your wedding day priorities + making your vision come to life. As a wedding photographer, I've worked with many coordinators, but the moment I met Chabeli while working a wedding together several years ago, I knew she would be the one I would hire for my own wedding someday. From both a vendor + bride perspective she is absolutely amazing to work with. I truly couldn't have asked for or dreamed of a better experience. We are beyond grateful for you ladies!!

ing date, although they are more than willing to answer any questions you have prior to that timeframe. They were very helpful with getting all items prior to your date so you do not have stress about bringing them yourself. They were also so helpful with creating the day of timeline and communicating this with our other vendors. The best part is the day of your wedding, you don't just have one person there to assist but you have 2-3 coordinators with you throughout the entire day. Very grateful for this team, would recommend just booking them for their full wedding planning package over the wedding management package. :)

day go so smoothly and special. They are INCREDIBLY good at what they do and complete angels. Chabeli and team basically helped plan our entire wedding minus a few details in 4 months. Ahead of the wedding she was so on top of everything, evoked so much confidence. Being a Covid bride, it had been an emotional year and half before trying to figure this all out and postponing. Once we hired Chabeli, for the first time I felt relieved and stress free. I knew from the moment we talked on the phone that she would have our back and make our dreams come true on budget. Day of the team was so on top of if, I didn't have to think at all and every detail fell into place. It was straight up magical. They pulled off something so incredible with a full wedding reception in the middle of the woods at Malibu Creek State Park. We had to bring everything in and they miraculously made it work. Their vendor recommendations were incredible. I can't wait to have another party one day so I can hire them all again! With Covid, there were some unpredicted challenges and difficult decisions and Chabeli was everything. I know I could not have done this day without her support and guidance.

z and her team were recommended to us by friends and after that first phone call I knew we found our ELITE wedding planning team. I can't help but feel emotional writing this note because calling Chabeli and her associates a "wedding planning team" doesn't do them justice. This team was more than a planning team, they were therapists, family, security guards, personal assistants, hype men, interior designers, google calendar, financial advisor and most of all your friend. Chabeli made my fairytale wedding dream come true after having 3+ wedding date changes and venue changes due to covid-19, she held my hand, was patient and made a control freak like me COMMPLETELY let go! When your family, friends, guests, bridesmaids AND GROOMSMEN can recognize their talent and professionalism you know you hit gold! From one former Bride to another, adding on a wedding planner/team may seem like a luxury item or an "added" expense, but after going through this crazy, stressful and memorable time a planning team is as necessary as a venue, officiant/minister/priest and fiancé is for your wedding day. Chabeli, Sheena and ladies- Isaac and I cant thank you enough for absolutely EVERYTHING you did. All those personal touches and thoughtfulness was very much appreciated. We miss you already and I hope we find a way to throw another RAGER like my wedding! With love and admiration for all that you do! -Mr. & Mrs. Quintero June 11th, 2021 Q Vineyard at Hummingbird Nest Ranch

0, then decided to postpone to October 2021. In May 2021, we decided “let’s have the wedding in 7 weeks, and now only have 20 people!” Chabeli didn’t hesitate and made it happen! (To be clear, this was now the third wedding she needed to plan for us). The wedding was GORGEOUS. Every detail was planned beautifully. She went above and beyond- she even drove us home after the wedding! We probably would have been married in the courthouse if it wasn’t for her. We couldn’t recommend Chabeli more!

d positive and professional and not to mention, their weddings are freaking gorgeous! Side note: I’m a wedding photographer and work dozens of weddings a year (and see event planners hard at work) and P.S. is in my top 5 wedding planners to work with. Hire these ladies. They are incredible!

S. team. Chabeli worked with us in advance providing no-nonsense advice and great recommendations. She quickly understood our vision and kept us on track to achieve it. We were blown away by the P.S. team on our wedding day - they were the difference between us stressing out about everything, and us having a fantastic worry-free night (we did the latter). They nailed the setup, getting everything placed how we had envisioned and even using some of our decor items in ways we wouldn't have come up with. Throughout the event they kept everything running smoothly and on-time, without us ever feeling rushed. Where they truly went above and beyond was striking the event, making sure that all everything got packed up and even thoughtfully decorating our suite. We can't say enough about P.S. & Associates! Hire them - they are the best!

Chabeli and her team for month of coordination in January for our October 12th wedding. We were looking for someone to help with the process and to make our wedding day easy. They truly did that and were in contact with us throughout all the months. They are professional, easy to communicate with, and quick with responses. Chabeli and her team have gone above and beyond for us. Five months before our wedding we found out our venue has shut down; Chabeli stepped in immediately and not only calmed us down but we found a new venue (that we absolutely loved) within 48 hours! The day of the wedding went so smoothly because of them. Juliana, Sadie and Brianna were so amazing, kind and professional. My friends and family were so impressed with everyone’s expertise and attention to detail! My family could not stop raving at their hard work because they did not have to lift a finger and they were able to enjoy the whole wedding night! Chabeli and her team are wonderful to work with and exactly what we needed in a wedding coordinator! Thank you all so much!!

l listened to, cared for, and they handle any mishaps before you ever even know about them. They take away any and all stress during the planning process and more importantly on the actual day. My wedding day went off without any hiccups and I had zero stress during the whole day—and that is all in thanks to them! Lastly, they refer you to amazing vendors. If you’re looking for a wedding planner do not look any further-this company is the one!

wn, it would turn into a disaster. Chabeli came highly recommended from a co-worker, and it didn’t take us long to realize why. From our initial meeting, Chabeli hit the ground running. She nailed our vision and because of her, Sheena, and the whole PS team, we truly experienced our dream wedding. I would recommend (and have been recommending) PS Plans to everyone considering a wedding planner. Something that sets PS apart from the rest is that you don’t just get one wedding planner—you get a team. From start to finish they were attentive to our needs, and super responsive via email, text message, and phone call. Chabeli and her team are absolutely incredible and thanks to them, we were able to enjoy the most beautiful and fun wedding there ever was!

st of it, I would highly suggest hiring them even prior. They have so many great vendor relationships that can offer discounts if you use them and they've had so much experience with every type of wedding style, they can really help create your dream wedding. They were extremely quick and responsive to my emails and were a great sounding board when I was unsure of things. They also offered some last minute suggestions that made our wedding even more fun. They had 4 members on staff the day of my wedding and they made sure the entire day flowed smoothly, even our photographer kept complimenting how great they were. We had some sudden unexpected circumstances come up that required us to rework our ceremony minutes before it started and they handled things so calmly and professionally. Anyone who knows me, knows how particular I am and how much of a perfectionist I am and they really exceeded my expectations.

professionalism and made our dream wedding into a reality wedding. We understood that Chabeli and her team were extremely busy with other wedding projects, but they always made us feel like we were a priority. Chabeli and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with. They knew all the ins and outs of the wedding production and contacts to all the right vendors. And best of all is that they get things done. Working with Chabeli was a low stress wedding planning. Just wow! We couldn’t have imagined our wedding without Chabeli and her team at P.S. & Associates Event Planning. You will forever be in our fondest memories, in our journey, as husband and wife. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

ners before Chabeli and we were frankly not very impressed, so we were thinking of just doing everything by ourselves to save money. But, then we talked to Chabeli. About 30 seconds into the intro phone call, we could already tell she was a BOSS. She instantly blew us away with her professionalism, expertise, and industry connections. We knew we were in good hands and that we'd end up saving more money by working with her than we would spend to hire her...and thank god we did! We absolutely LOVED every moment of working with Chabeli and her team. They were so responsive, thoughtful, and helpful throughout every step of the planning process. Our original venue was unfortunately destroyed in the Malibu fires, but Chabeli instantly jumped on it and found us several other options within 48 hours that even had our same date available. The place we ended up booking instead was even better than the original! PS Plans totally took our vision and ran with it, executing everything perfectly. They kept us on top of our timeline, negotiated our contracts, and introduced us to AMAZING vendors for catering, florals, rentals, and stationary/signage. Everybody we worked with was great, and it's because Chabeli knew exactly who to go to, and how to help us stay on budget. It totally took the stress out of the entire planning process, which in itself was completely worth paying for. Then there's the actual wedding day coordination aspect, which was executed with perfection!!! Their team is SO on top of it. They picked up breakfast and lunch for the wedding party, stayed with us during our photoshoot to make sure we got every perfect shot that we'd discussed, made an alcohol run when we were getting low so that we never ran out, and handled getting our sloppy drunk and puking friend home in an Uber before anybody even knew what happened! Seriously...an unbelievable effort across the board. We had our perfect dream wedding, and looking back, there is simply no way it would have been possible without the help of Chabeli, Sheena, and the entire PS Plans team. Don't even consider hiring anybody else!!

to. The success of the wedding is truly due to the work and preparation of Chabeli and her team. I started having fun with Chabeli from the moment we met. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but not if you hire Chabeli. She listens to you and embraces your vision right away. Once we picked a style for the wedding I had the opportunity to be introduced to some amazing companies throughout the LA area that would help us bring to life our ideas. Chabeli has nurtured her relationships with vendors and as a result they will take care of you like you are family. After a year of planning, the wedding day finally arrived and this is when Chabeli and her team knocked it out of the park! I had nothing to worry about because they were in control of every detail. The best decision I made (after saying yes to my now husband) was hiring Chabeli.

eli was not just a planner, but a problem solver, a family therapist, and the constant voice of reason throughout the 10 months we worked with her. When our initial wedding venue burned down in November, she found another location that was dare I say better that our first one. She worked to make the day the most incredible experience for me and my husband and it really was the best day ever. She answered every email, text, and phone call and seemed to have all the answers. She attended vendor meetings and with the help of Sheena, one of her coordinators, helped us stay on track with our design, budget, and vision. We have three sets of parents, so we worried it would be a challenge to balance everyone’s opinions and hopes of the day. Chabeli managed to have the answer for what each parent wanted and make sure their needs were met it all while focusing on our (my husband and my) vision for the day. On the day of the wedding everything was perfect. Chabeli and her team seemed to be everywhere and literally made it the most perfect day we could have imagined. Chabeli went beyond in every way imaginable and made the planning process as easy and enjoyable as possible. Do yourself a favor and hire Chabeli and the P.S. team!

pleased with how professional and helpful, and at times - life-saving she was. Trying to handle 20+ vendors (yes, they add up that quickly) is exhausting and we definitely needed the added help. By far, the best value came the day of our events. My wife and I were able to enjoy them! It sounds obscene, but unless you have a team of pros (i.e. P.S. & Associates), you'll constantly be pulled in different directions (family, friends, photographers, etc.). It was honestly like having a team of personal assistants waiting on you. My only regret is that I can't afford them year around. I highly recommend Chabeli and her team to anyone for any event - big or small. We'll definitely be using P.S. & Associates whenever the occasion arises. - The Groom

xtremely down to earth and was always honest and up front with her thoughts. There were many times I was unsure of which way to go or how to speak with vendors and Chabeli stepped in immediately and figured it out. We had one design meeting and from then on she just got my vibe and what my vision was for the wedding. Both my husband and I were overwhelmed at our daily jobs and Chabeli always made sure we were on track. The day of the wedding I was worried with timing and so much family coming in from out of town. Chabeli showed up with a full team and had everything covered. I have a brother with autism and Chabeli’s team made sure to pay special attention to him and help where needed. I didn’t have to think of ANYTHING the day of my wedding. I was able to let loose and just have Chabeli tell us what to do next and it went flawless (or so I thought). Later on I found out all these random mishaps happened but I had no idea because her team just took care of it and didn’t bother me or stress me out on my wedding day! I would recommend Chabeli and her team for ANY event!

zed, creative, and professional team throughout the planning and executing process of our wedding. With that being said, if you are a bride that is looking for a coordinating team that will take care of all of your planning needs... look no further! During the initial consultation meeting, Chabeli was direct and totally open to all of my ideas, fears, and dreams off how I wanted my wedding day to be. From the timeline to the budget, everything was organized and concise. She adhered to the budget set throughout the entire process and even helped save us money overall! The month prior to the wedding is when I really fell in love with this team. They coordinated the timing with all of the vendors and helped remind me to make the final payments with all of them when it came up to the last 2 weeks prior to wedding day (which is something no one talks about and is kind of overwhelming to remember due dates, amount, etc.) A week prior to our wedding day, we found out rain was in the forecast for our completely outdoor desert wedding! Chabeli and her team busted their butts with less than 4 days to the wedding day and got organized the tenting of the venue and worked with all vendors to make sure the event would flawlessly transition to a tented venue. I truly was amazed at how beautiful it was and the best part was that me, my husband, and parents didn't have to stress out about these changes because PS Plans took care of all of it! I would also like to add that I live in San Diego and got married in Palm Springs and this was in NO WAY an issue for me in using a planner based in LA. Chabeli was just as involved as if my wedding was in LA and her communication with me throughout every step of the process was consistent and positive. I could continue to gush about this team, but basically, you would be silly to not even meet with them for a Bridal Consultation. You'll feel at ease the moment you meet with them and they will make your Wedding Day a dream come true!

st needed someone to be in charge on the day of my wedding. But WOW did I get so much more! From recommending dress shops, invitations, rehearsal dinner spots and much more. Chabeli answered emails fast and didn’t make me feel weird for all my crazy questions! She was there and made the wedding process so much easier. I can not thank her and her team enough for making my day perfect in my eyes!! My bridesmaid who recently got married was like where did you find them, they are a dream team. That’s such a true statement, my wedding went smooth and I was able to enjoy every moment because any concern that came up was solved by Chabeli and her team. Whether it was a parking concern or stray hair they were on top of it all!! I highly recommend Chabeli and her team to help make your dream become a reality!!

ng women I have ever had the pleasure of working with! Chabeli is the most approachable, calm, cool and kind person and this is reflected entirely in her skills as a planner. At our initial consultation, she walked into our venue, which happened to be my parent's house, and immediately jumped into idea after idea and shared a vision of our day that I didn't think was possible and that I never would have seen on my own! She had amazing ideas, shared detailed information about the best way to navigate a backyard/home wedding, answered every question we had, and made my husband and family feel so at ease. In addition, she walked us through her entire budget breakdown and it was beautiful as we were a very budget conscious bride and groom! She also walked us through a sample timeline and I might have hugged her because it was so helpful as we dove into our planning process. Throughout the planning process, Chabeli communicated consistently, effectively, warmly, and always within the timeline. She was so clear, concise, organized and made every detail of our process seamless and easy. She put together a vision board that reflected me and my husband's personalities and wishes and then reviewed it with us in person to ensure it captured everything we wanted for our day. She connected us with amazing vendors who we will cherish for our lifetime and will continue to work with. She did all of this while staying within our allotted budget. Chabeli feels more like a friend now and I can truly say she made our process the best it could ever be! We are forever grateful for her and her team, their professionalism, their warmth, PATIENCE, detail oriented and organized ways, kindness, and overall their stellar partnership to me, my husband, and our family! I would 11/10 recommend P.S. Plans to anyone getting married! You will be blown away!

king things run smoothly. My husband and I live out-of-town from where we were getting married, and having Chabeli work with me remotely, working with my mother locally, and scheduling meetings for when I was in town alleviated so much stress from the process. She kept us on schedule and on budget with everything, and offered wonderful alternatives whenever we second guessed our decisions. And that’s only during the planning process. Chabeli supported me on my wedding day in ways I couldn’t even imagine. My MOH felt ill and Chabeli had food and meds delivered to her bedside. I didn’t hire a videographer for the day so Chabeli filmed precious moments like my father’s first look on her phone. She and her team collected all of our leftover desserts and belongings at the venue and left them waiting for my husband and I in our hotel room. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. The ability to focus only on the beautiful day, my family, and my new husband was everything I wanted. Thank you so much PS & Associates! You are wonderful!

hired her with still 5 months to go before wedding day and the minute she was on board an enormous weight was lifted. I knew we were going to be able to actually 'enjoy' the process of planning my daughter's wedding instead of stressing about it. I literally started sleeping again!! From the very beginning, Chabeli wanted to hear my daughter's vision and created a style board and timeline to help us make it a reality. She asked us about our budget and was incredible in helping us stay true to it, recommending vendors and creative ideas to keep us on track. (Not an easy task when weddings are obscenely expensive and there seems no end to the costs) She helped us connect with reliable and extraordinary vendors that we felt good about and knew had worked in our tricky venue before. She gave us NO RESTRICTIONS on how often we could contact her, whether email, text or phone. And answered EVERY one of our emails, texts and calls immediately. In fact, we received such personal attention that it was hard for me to remember that she is doing this for multiple clients. My daughter and (now) son-in-law live out of town and she and Sheena coordinated all meetings with vendors with their tricky schedules in mind. And every meeting was timely and successful, letting us feel like we were really 'getting it done'. The kids had a separate ceremony at the church on an entirely different day and Chabeli personally delivered my daughter's bouquet for that quiet ceremony. (this wasn't even the big one) They created a DETAILED timeline for us to see how the wedding day would play out. And I mean... I don't think Presidents have a more prepared itinerary. And as a result, we knew exactly what to expect and felt not one moment of anxiety or stress. Imagine... ENJOYING the process. The wedding was at the Oviatt Penthouse in DTLA and had many restrictions and rules as it is a protected Historical site. Not a problem. Not a hiccup. Even when detours and traffic and blocked off parking created problems for the rest of LA, we were cocooned from any of it! The team was there for us the entire day-of, bringing in food and drink, checking and re-checking. And through it all, we literally felt like we were working with FRIENDS. I guess this might be a long review, but the truth is I can't say enough for this extraordinary team. Thank you Chabeli, Sheena, Steevie, and all your team for making our experience such a dream come true. And girls.... I've got your number.......I have another daughter!!

ad a longer engagement then most (almost 3 years) so we spent about a year emailing and meeting with different planners trying to find a team that we felt was the best fit for us personality wise, was exceptionally organized, could handle our stressful family dynamic, and could help us executive our style vision that we didn't even fully know yet. From the moment I met Chabeli and her team I was sold. They are the kindest, most fun, strong, bad ass women I have met, and I instantly felt 100% confident that they would be able to handle anything we or our family threw their way, and help us have the perfect day. They are incredibly organized, creative, quick communicators, and just genuinely wonderful people. They honestly made us feel like we were their only clients because they always remembered everything we had ever talked about and were so quick with communication, whether we texted them late at night, or sent emails on the weekend. When we first reached out to them we were only looking for a day-of coordinator, but we are so thankful we went with the partial planning package because we honestly felt like we had five full-time wedding planners for the whole year we worked with them. They went above and beyond for us and are a WEALTH of knowledge. They have the best connections to vendors and knew how to get us the best discounts and deals that we could never have gotten on our own. For example, my husband wanted classic black tuxedos for him and his groomsmen but he didn't want to make them spend a whole lot because they were all flying in from out of town for our wedding so they would already have to pay for plane tickets and hotels. He has been in multiple weddings where he has had to rent tuxedos from mens warehouse for $200-$250 each time, which is such a shitty deal because you have to return them so it's really a waste of money. Chabeli has amazing connections and was able to get all of the guys classic black tuxedos for less than $150 THAT THEY KEEP! The guys were so blown away with how much they loved how the tuxedos looked and fit and were so happy they didn't have to waste money and return them at the end of the day. Lastly, on the day of the wedding, I was blown away at how organized and on top of everything they were. They had FIVE people taking care of everything, so there was always someone with me, someone with the guys, and 3 people at the venue setting up and working with the vendors. They had walkie-talkies and ear pieces so they could always communicate with each other to make things seamless. I also have to give them a MAJOR shoutout for their STELLAR organization because we made things so hard for them (sorry!) by having the girls getting ready at one hotel, the guys getting ready at a completely different hotel up the street, pictures at city hall, and then the ceremony/reception at our venue down the street from city hall. They had to navigate being at 4 different locations throughout the day and everything was seamless, and if it wasn't, I HAD NO IDEA, they are that good! There is a billion other positive things I could say, and I know I am missing so much I would love to share about them, but it would take me all day and probably a novel to explain it all, so just know they are simply awesome!!

lans, Chabeli and her team were on it. They got right to the point on planning things, joined us during meetings with vendors, and literally dotted every 'i' and crossed every 't'. Chabeli had great ideas about design and vendors to work with. She was also open to exploring vendors we suggested. On the day of our wedding Chabeli and her team were meticulously handling getting all the vendors in and out of the venue for deliveries. It was a warm September day and we were worried about the venue getting hot, but Chabeli made sure the vendors kept the doors closed as much as possible. Chabeli and her team can handle many different preferences of guests, the wedding couple, and parents alike. Very importantly, Chabeli STUCK WITHIN OUR BUDGET. In fact, we ended up being LOWER than our budget. I always felt Chabeli and her team were conscientious of not leading us down a more expensive path than we wanted to be on. Our wedding day was FLAWLESS because of P.S. Plans. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

thing. Did you hear me? Didn't. Think. About. A. Thing.! I was able to focus on enjoying my special day with my husband and everything else just magically happened. Also, if Chabeli recommends a vendor....use them! All suggested vendors ended up amazing. Highly recommend PS Plans for ANY party needs but definitely for you wedding. Their expertise is invaluable.

ding. I would say Chabeli and her group at P.S. & Associates are worth it for their vendor relationships and negotiation skills alone but then it's SO MUCH MORE. Trusted opinion on any detail from guest list to flower height at the tables? Check. Liaison between family members to moderate all discussions and come out with an incredible final solution? Check. Little bit of counseling when you need it? Check. Fun people to be around and make your wedding day and the entire planning process that much better? Check and check! My wife and I were actually slightly disappointed once our complete dream wedding was over because it meant no more mandatory meetings with Chabeli and crew :'(. They're the absolute best and I would highly recommend P.S. & Associates for anything!

always felt like a priority and Chabeli was great at getting back to us whenever we had questions. She was also wonderful for following up with vendors or clarifying if there was some misunderstanding. It was great having a team of people to field the questions/decisions we didn’t want to deal with on our actual wedding day. Chabeli, Sheena, and Jeannine were a powerhouse the day of. They made sure to keep my husband and I on time, made sure vendors were where they needed to be as soon as they needed to be there, herded our guests wherever we needed them, and had smiling faces on the whole time. Every one of our guests that had an encounter with them said great things.

Chabeli because of her attention to detail, her warm personality and competitive price. Although Chabeli does both full wedding coordination and Day Of Coordination, we chose her “Day Of” option, as we were able to do a lot of the preliminary planning on our own. Chabeli’s “Day Of” option was fantastic. It included a 2 hour meeting one month prior to the wedding, walk throughs with the vendors, numerous email exchanges, coming to the rehearsal dinner prior to the wedding, as well as the full “Day Of” activities from 9:00 am. to closing. It also includes Chabeli’s staff of 4 assistants, for a total of 5 people the day of the wedding. Our hair/makeup person as well as our clergy were both impressed with Chabeli and her team. They both gave us feedback that she is the one of the best that they have worked with. There are always a number of glitches, and Chabeli handled each of ours easily. Our wedding happened in Beverly Hills which requires permits to hold an event the size of ours. There was a minor snafu with one of the permits and it had to be changed at the last minute. The Beverly Hills fire marshal contacted Chabeli about the change, and took her word that we would make adjustments, not requiring an amended permit. They had worked with Chabeli in the past and trusted her. Glitches that happened the day of the wedding, Chabeli was able to notify me (not the bride and groom who were blissfully unaware!) for some of them, and others, she was able to correct without my input. One snafu, the valet parking service was late for our service, Chabeli arranged a partial refund for us. If you are looking for an event planner, Chabeli Sanchez is the one to use. I highly recommend her and her team.

nd had ZERO stress or problems. We hired her as a day-of coordinator because we just wanted to make sure the day could go smoothly. We loved her from the moment we met and were so appreciative that she was willing to be flexible on the cost so we could work with her. From then on, she was so responsive and helpful! She walked us through everything, answered all our silly little questions, helped us find outstanding not-super-expensive vendors, and felt more like a regular wedding planner than a day-of coordinator. Most importantly to me, however, they made that day so happy and not stressful in the least. One of my bridesmaids got married shortly after I did, and she took notes on what Chabeli did to give to her own wedding planner! We had some tricky logistics and they handled it all so easily. We had the absolute best day and I attribute that lack of stress to her entirely. Every little thing was covered and managed and I didn't have to think about it at all; I could just enjoy that day! And isn't that what every bride wants? I can't sing her praises loud enough. I wasn't sure we needed a coordinator, but Chabeli was an absolute godsend. Best part of the wedding planning process was getting to work with her--for sure.

together if we had done it on our own. It's your wedding day, you will be stressed already. Getting a planner will help so much--so you, your friends and your family can enjoy the day more. If you want someone to be there with you every step of the way, P.S. & Associates Event Planning is perfect for you. Chabeli was the only wedding planner that answered her phone the first time I called her; and that type of availability continued throughout the planning process. She was there for me via e-mail or phone constantly. Chabeli was very involved in every detail of the planning process... She set-up meetings for us, attended many of the meetings, and did a lot of legwork for us. She was focused on finding budget-friendly vendors that provided great value. She saved us money by getting us deals we never would have gotten if we were planning our wedding on our own. Her fee was worth what she saved us in discounts, not to mention my sanity. Before we had Chabeli, vendors wouldn't call us back and venues didn't have dates available. After we hired Chabeli, so many doors opened for us. Some examples of deals she got us: She arranged dress shopping for me. I found a dress I wanted at one of those appointments. However, the store kept the name of the dress a secret. Chabeli found the name of the dress online and found a local store that had a better price for the exact dress. In addition, that shop had good service and was totally prepared for me--thanks to Chabeli. She found me a venue that was unbelievably inexpensive, yet elegant and perfect for us. She found vendors that are family businesses, doing what they love, and provide excellent products for very low prices. Her relationships with other businesses automatically gave us discounts that aren't available to a person planning their wedding on their own (for example, 10% or 15%, or more off). I could text or e-mail Chabeli, and get responses very quickly. She was even there for me when the inevitable family drama occurred during the wedding planning process. She was not only a professional planner, but a friend to me during the stress of wedding planning. I didn't find a planner anywhere in her price range. Further, the other planners I talked to wanted to force me to spend more money than we wanted to. Chabeli was focused on creating a wonderful set of events for a reasonable price. In the end, we had a gorgeous welcome dinner, wedding and brunch; I'm so thankful for her help. The amount of time you get from Chabeli is unheard of. If you want someone that will go above and beyond to provide you service and value, pick P.S. & Associates Event Planning. I highly recommend hiring a planner, it's worth it--especially if you go with someone affordable, like P.S. & Associates Event Planning. Their service and value is unparalleled and their fee will pay for itself due to the money they will save you.

and really took the time to understand our style. They worked well with our budget. They were very hands-on, adding fabulously detailed and personal touches. Food - fantastic. Flowers - gorgeous. Overall decor - Perfect. Service - top notch. They truly transformed our home into the perfect venue and exceeded all expectations. We were so pleased that my husband hired them again for a work function. They nailed that one too! I cannot recommend more highly. A++
