SKIRBALL CULTURAL CENTER

ca made us feel completely supported, heard, and taken care of. Right away, her communication stood out. No matter how small or detailed our questions were about logistics, timing, or venue options, Monica was always there with thoughtful, clear answers. Her responsiveness gave us so much peace of mind while planning from across the country. What truly showed us how special Monica is was how she handled unexpected challenges. When the California fires disrupted our tasting plans, she didn’t just adjust, she went above and beyond. Monica worked around our travel schedule, coordinated a private tasting, and made sure we were still able to experience and finalize our menu in person. In a moment that could have been incredibly disappointing and stressful, she made us feel prioritized and genuinely cared for. Throughout the entire process, Monica consistently shared her experience and insight in a way that never felt generic. She offered thoughtful feedback from past events and helped us personalize our wedding so it truly felt like us. She paid attention to every detail and treated our wedding as if it were just as important to her as it was to us. On the wedding day, even with last-minute pressures, Monica stepped in calmly and confidently, handling everything behind the scenes so we could simply be present and enjoy the moment. She did far more than what you would ever expect from a venue coordinator. We also want to highlight how exceptional the entire Skirball team was. From the waiters and waitresses to the bartenders, food logistics, and coordination staff, everyone was professional, attentive, and seamless throughout the night. Daryl and the full back-of-house team did a phenomenal job ensuring everything ran smoothly, and our guests felt genuinely taken care of from start to finish. The Skirball itself was stunning. Having our ceremony and cocktail hour outdoors with the reception indoors was perfect. The food was incredible (the sushi was a huge hit), and Monica even helped us bring our caviar bar vision to life which is something our guests are still talking about. At the end of the day, weddings are about how you feel, and Monica and the entire Skirball team made us feel supported, understood, and truly celebrated. The entire event was joyful, seamless, and so much fun, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. We are endlessly grateful to Monica and the Skirball Cultural Center for creating a day we will remember forever. We couldn’t recommend them more highly.

on us the space as our venue for our wedding. We worked with Monica closely over that year to plan our wedding, and she was so great to work with. She was incredibly organized, thoughtful, and supportive as we worked through all of the logistics of our wedding day. Our actual wedding day was perfect, and we know a lot of that had to do with the team behind Skirball. Everyone was amazing, from the bartenders to the waitstaff to the chefs working in the kitchen. Thank you, Skirball, for everything you did to make our wedding amazing!
