Somni Events

MICHELLE IS THE BEST!!! She made me feel so at ease on my wedding day, handled all the ups and downs and changing decisions like a pro, and just made me feel special in general. She knew everything to do and I felt safe in her hands. Plus she is just an amazing person!! Thank you Michelle we love you!!!

We cannot thank Janice and Somni Events enough for helping us plan our DREAM wedding! We went with the partial planning package and are so grateful that we did! Wedding planning can get expensive but definitely worth it! Janice was incredibly thorough and made the planning and design process so easy and seamless. I never had to worry about anything and she made it possible for me to enjoy the morning of the wedding with my family and bridal party. She helped us with the design and day of logistics which had a bunch of moving parts. Even if I couldn't quite articulate what I was looking for or what I was envisioning, Janice was able to figure it out and came out with beautiful and creative suggestions along with being flexible when we added a few last minute changes to details and timeline. We 100% recommend Janice and her team at Somni Events! Even if you're a little curious about hiring a planner, do it! So worth it! Thank you so much Janice! We absolutely loved everything about our wedding day!

Michelle made the whole wedding planning process so easy and our wedding turned out absolutely AMAZING. We really couldn't have imagined it without her. I think it's safe to say that her and the Somni Events team brought our vision to life and more! From picking the venue, selection of vendors, design process, day of coordination, to checking in consistently throughout the past 1.5 years, Michelle was truly a DREAM to work with. We really cannot thank her enough for everything. She genuinely took the time to understand our vision, making sure that every single detail was addressed. More than anything, she's been so kind, patient, thoughtful, & incredibly generous with her time from start to finish. Truly every single guest at the wedding and our family members told us numerous times how beautiful the wedding was, and how well thought out every single detail was. We loved all of our vendors.. truly, we were obsessed with all of them!! Of course, we thanked them as well, but we also wanted to give Michelle & team credit in helping us discover vendors that were the perfect fit for us. As we reflected back on the day and looked through the photos & videos, we couldn't stop smiling because of how perfect the day went! We especially appreciate how the team took care of all the little things, allowing us to truly live in the moment and soak in everything as it was happening. They were so organized & professional, and we didn't have to worry about a single thing because Michelle & team were on top of everything, including the clean up at the end of the night. We think there's so much more that can be said, but we hope these few words express how much we really appreciate Michelle and all the hard work she put into making our day so perfect. Thanks a billion to Somni Events and we love you, Michelle!!

As anyone who’s ever gone the process of planning a wedding may know, wedding planning is an incredibly complex and stressful process that requires an immense amount of coordination, communication, and organization. Facing this challenge was incredibly daunting, but it turns out we made perhaps the best decision of this entire process when we chose to bring on Somni Events for month of coordination. Janice handles all month of coordination events for Somni, and right from the get go she came in with an incredibly detailed checklist and immediately got up to speed with our entire wedding plan. I thought that we had a decent handle on things up to that point, but Janice’s attention to detail and wedding expertise brought us to an entirely new level of organization in the months leading up to the wedding. Within a few weeks on starting work together, we had an entire wedding timeline planned out down to the minute, with detailed checklists for all the wedding party contacts, vendor lists, and so on. As we navigated the never-ending list of decisions and checked things off our nearly infinite to-do list, Janice always made herself available to us, making sure to answer all of our questions throughout, no matter how complicated or trivial they were. She made time for all of our vendor meetings and handled a lot of things on her own (like vendor insurance), which took such a huge load off our shoulders. When we had trouble with things like deciding how to design our table layouts or how to arrange our welcome table, Janice chimed in with the most perfect advice leaving us thinking multiple times - why didn’t we think of that / of course that makes so much sense! We absolutely felt way less stressed leading up to our wedding knowing that Janice was on top of literally everything we needed her to handle. She is nothing if not the definition of dependability! Finally, on the day of, after all of our coordination and planning, things went so amazingly well, so much more than we could have ever dreamed of! I distinctly remember passing by the reception hall before it was set up before getting ready in the groomsmen suite, and the next time I popped out to check on how things were going, Janice and her assistants had somehow magically transformed the entire space into the wedding venue of our dreams. It was incredibly surreal seeing that come to life! Throughout the day, Janice and her team handled EVERY detail for us, from making sure that the catering team set aside hors douvres and signature drinks for us to try, to making sure we took photobooth photos, to holding my wife’s train as we took photos during cocktail hour, to making sure that we had plenty of time to eat and step away from the crowd when we needed it. The biggest compliment we can give is that Janice and her team made it possible for us to not have to worry about anything that entire day, which allowed us to fully live in the moment and be present for every part of our wedding day. We seriously could not believe how well it went, and we could not have asked for more. If you’ve made it this far, please know that despite all of the above, words cannot express how amazing and invaluable Janice was for our wedding day. We are so incredibly grateful to her from the bottom of our hearts!

I cannot say enough! Michelle was phenomenal, she made the event to proceed flawlessly! I am forever grateful to her for her input and supervision. But more importantly, I am in awe of how calm, collected and professional she had been in dealing with us, she allowed all of us to express of individual ideas and make them come true at the time of the event. But more importantly, the wedding day itself was absolutely stress-free for both of us! I am a healthcare professional and above all I value efficiency, she provided the peace of mind for me! Thank you , Michelle! Lets see what we can do for their 50th anniversary!!! Love and Best wishes, Angela, The-Mother-Of-The-Bride.

We're so happy we found Michelle! She is everything you want in a wedding planner - thoughtful, caring, creative, organized, well-connected, the list goes on and on. We absolutely loved working with her and her team at Somni Events, and would recommend her to any of our friends planning a wedding. I felt very intimidated about the whole wedding planning process, especially since my husband and I were going to have to plan this wedding remotely. But working with Michelle allowed me to enjoy the process so much more. She kept us on track with a personalized schedule, helped us make decisions quickly, and gave valuable input and guidance when we're stuck. Michelle really takes the time to get to know her couples and understand our wants, needs, personalities. From finding a venue, to florals, DJ/MC, videographers, Michelle presented us with a short list of vendors that would fit our budget, style, and personalities. Anybody who's gone through this process knows how overwhelming it is to sort through all the different vendor options. We appreciated how Michelle guided us in the direction that best aligns with our priorities and simplified decisions for things we just didn't care as much about (and often helped us save money). She is extremely knowledgeable and well-connected to all the top vendors in Southern California that made sourcing and locking in our vendors a breeze. The day of, it was evident all the vendors loved working with Michelle & her team. It was good vibes all around and she really helped us put together a vendor dream team, and I want to be friends with all of them! My husband had a lot of ideas and opinions about parts of our wedding, and it was great to have Michelle there to help him bring these ideas to life, but also push back on things that wouldn't work well. Michelle is a great partner to have to bounce ideas off of, she always provides her true perspective but always considers what means most to her couple. Lastly, the day of our wedding couldn't have been more perfect. Michelle's team made sure everything ran smoothly, from the flow of events to unveiling our special performance at the end of the night. Her whole team and was very attentive and quick to help with any requests we had. We couldn't imagine a more perfect day! Michelle is truly the best, and the best decision you can make for your wedding!

Michelle and her team at Somni Events helped plan my wedding from start to finish for the past year and a half. If anyone is on the fence about working with Michelle, this is your sign to hire her. Her eye for design, professionalism, and poise are worth every single penny. To be candid, I was extremely intimidated about the prospect of planning a wedding when I first got engaged. I wanted the wedding of my dreams to be flawlessly executed from start to finish, and knew that I needed to work with a planner who was professional, proactive, and trustworthy. I was luckily introduced to Michelle (who checked all of the aforementioned boxes) and signed a full planning contract after an initial call with her. Michelle supported and guided us throughout the entire planning process. She helped us find our dream wedding venue, and put together an incredible team of wedding vendors. She was also organized and very responsive over email and text. In the weeks leading up to my wedding, I was naturally feeling nervous and stressed about all of the details and logistics coming together. I wish I spent less time worrying because the day of the wedding was executed perfectly because of Michelle and her team. I was in awe of the florals and decor, and appreciated that Michelle kept us on schedule throughout the day even when unexpected occurrences came up. My husband and I were actually able to enjoy time (and eat!) together during the day of the wedding. This is no small feat given all of the work and set up that needed to be done, and is truly a testament to Michelle and her team's hard work behind the scenes. We had so many guests compliment how beautiful our wedding was and how much they enjoyed the entire evening - I can confidently say that none of it would have been possible without Michelle and her team. Her expertise, reputation, and connections in the wedding industry are unmatched (every single one of our vendors had nothing but praise for her) and my husband and I are so grateful that we had the chance to work with her on our special day.

Michelle and Somni Events have been so amazing for us throughout our entire wedding planning process. We enlisted her services for approximately 1.5 years and it was such a smooth experience for us. Firstly, Michelle is such a wonderful person that keeps your bests interests in mind throughout the entire planning process. She has extensive connections across the entire wedding industry and will consider the best options for you when providing recommendations within your budget. On the day of the wedding, her and the Somni Events staff kept us on schedule, took care of setup and cleanup at the end of the night, and seamlessly coordinated all of the vendors. We did not have to lift a finger and focused on our wedding ceremony and families. She even ensured we had time to ourselves to enjoy the food, drinks, and kept us from getting swept away by giving us a moment to enjoy by ourselves. Anyone that gets to work with Michelle and her team are very lucky. We would highly recommend anyone to employ her services if you need an organized and professional planner.

I could fill the entire Pacific Ocean with compliments for Michelle and the team at Somni Events. Michelle was part of our planning process for nearly 2.5 years (thanks 2020). Despite endless uncertainties, Michelle was patient, kind, understanding, and optimistic while realistic. We always felt we could confide and trust Michelle no matter the issue - which is the most important when choosing your vendors. Not only does she have a great eye for design, she is meticulous and detail oriented. She provided all the organization and design resources we needed and truly understood our vision. A huge plus is that she is well attuned to East Asian wedding traditions and can speak to family members who do not understand English. There were so many small details we would have forgotten had it not been for Michelle. Although our bridal party and family only had brief interactions with Michelle on the wedding day, they were all so impressed by her level of organization, positive attitude, and constant smile. When the weather prediction showed 70% chance of rain on our wedding day the entire week leading up to it, Michelle worked hard even at late hours to ensure we had a backup plan that fit our vision and communicated with our vendors for options. Not only so, she went above and beyond and paid for an hourly weather app just to see if it would stop raining by our ceremony time. When we needed extra rentals at the last minute, Michelle went out of her way to help us pick them up and also helped receive packages for us since we were out of town. We never expected any vendor to do this for us. These are just a few examples of the numerous times she went above and beyond. Although she juggles many events, Michelle always makes you feel like you are the top priority. She will treat your wedding like her own with the full attention it deserves. Everyone says that something is bound to go wrong at your wedding. Not us though - and it was all thanks to Somni Events. The entire day was perfect and Michelle is the absolute sweetest.

Michelle, Janice and the team truly did an amazing job in not only making my wedding day everything i imagined but also taking loads of stress off during the process and on the wedding day. First off, I didnt realize how difficult it would be planning an event at our venue- Hummingbird Nest Ranch. There was no wedding package, just a list of required vendors (valet, security, bartending), so we ended up having to source and communicate with 13 total outside vendors to make our night come true. It was a mess for me thinking I could do it myself so that's when we sought out Michelle and Somni Events about 9 months ahead of the wedding for planning services. I really could not have done it without them. Their expertise in the industry and experience at my wedding venue showed and saved me a ton of time I would have otherwise spent researching or asking vendors. Michelle and Janice knew exactly what would be needed at our venue (rentals, lighting, kitchen equipment rentals etc) and communicated directly with all our vendors. On the day of the wedding; there was not one moment where I couldn't find Michelle or Janice when i needed them. Looking back at it, I didnt realize how hectic the day was. Im surprised how relaxed i was!! and that's because i knew Janice and Michelle were behind the scenes making sure everything was going according to plan. I barely had a chance to look at my phone or the time, but Janice always showed up at the right time to guide us through the next part in our schedule. What topped it off for us was at the end of the night- Michelle and her team were one step ahead of us and had picked up all our personal belongings from the bridal suit and had it packed it onto our shuttle bus. I was so grateful they did that. it would have been a stressful thing to do at the end of the night especially after having one too many drinks...

My now-wife and I went with Somni Events to help make our magical day into reality. It was INCREDIBLY helpful to get professional input on so many aspects of our wedding during the stressful planning process. We went back and forth on so many decisions, it must have been annoying for anyone but Michelle was very patient throughout the months and such a great resource when we had questions on vendors or other details re: the wedding. For the day-of, Janice was our coordinator and she was great at making sure all the vendors were accounted for, the day went smoothly, and anything that needed to be taken care of was while my wife and I were being present and enjoying our incredible day! Our wedding was particularly complex because all the vendors/venue were separate groups so there was a lot to orchestrate on the day-of. No bride/groom should have to worry about the logistics during their wedding day and Janice was fantastic at handling anything and everything that came up. If you are thinking about getting a wedding planner/coordinator, do it! and if you are doing it, go with Somni Events.

Michelle and her team were amazing. They went above and beyond for our wedding. Michelle is incredibly detail-oriented, professional, and thoughtful. She and her team made sure our wedding day was perfect.

The best wedding planner anyone could ask for! Michelle is the sweetest, most caring person ever. She really went above and beyond not only helping me plan the wedding of my dreams, but making sure everyone knew what was happening. She was super organized and detailed so you wouldn’t miss a thing, including the wedding day. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

There are not enough words to describe how wonderful Somni Events is. My husband and I hired Somni for their month-of coordination package and were paired with Janice as our main coordinator. I was a very hands-on bride and did most of the planning myself, but we needed someone to manage everything on the day of our wedding so that we can sit back and enjoy the day. Janice started working with us several months prior to our wedding and stepped in when our original ceremony venue cancelled on us. She helped us navigate all our vendors and pulled everyone (and I mean everyone: vendors, wedding party, and family!) together for the big day. She was honest about what we needed/did not need so that we weren’t wasting dollars here and there. She also gave great input for last minute décor decisions, and I really loved her eye for style! She was there at all the important venue meetings and asked questions I never would have thought of. She knew about all the little details and was able to answer all of my questions and calm my nerves in the weeks leading up to the wedding. On the day of our wedding, Janice made me feel so at ease. There were some mishaps that occurred (which is always expected!) and she resolved them effortlessly. I really was able to let her take the reins from my type-A hands and she and her team executed so well. There’s so much she did for me personally that I won’t share details of, but I really can’t thank her enough!! She’s also one of the kindest and sweetest people we have ever met, and we would highly recommend her. When we look back at our wedding, we are overjoyed with happiness. Janice and the Somni team truly turned our vision into reality!

I'm so happy to finally sit down and write a review for my personal friend and talented wedding planner Michelle from Somni Events. Michelle and I are so similar - we are all about the details and for the purposes of planning a wedding prioritize understated but undeniable luxury. That's why when it came time for me to start planning my wedding, I knew I needed her help. I booked the partial planning package with her since I already chose my wedding venue. Michelle really delivered my vision of a timeless European garden wedding in San Diego. I was already pretty particular with my design elements, and Michelle was able to see what I was going for and provide helpful suggestions and connect me with incredibly talented vendors along the way. Where she really shined was on the wedding day. She made sure I was really present in the moment. I told her I prioritized being able to go to my own cocktail hour and talk to all my guests as well as being able to eat and stay hydrated. She made all of this happen. I would turn around at my sweetheart table, and there were my signature cocktails waiting there for me, my entrees, and even extra platters of hors d'oeuvres that I didn't get to sample during cocktail hour. I wasn't a stressed starved bride on my day - I soaked in and remembered every second of it because I know I could place my trust in Michelle and her assistants. Thank you, Somni Events for helping our dream day come to fruition!

There truly aren’t enough words to describe how amazing Michelle is. We always dreamt of our wedding day but dreaded the planning process. That was until we chose Michelle as our full wedding planner. From the moment we spoke with her, we knew she was perfect for us. She was so understanding, patient, organized, personable, professional… the list goes on. She took care of anything and everything. She provided us with checklists to keep us organized and timelines for us follow to ensure we weren’t overly overwhelmed. She created our wedding budget and handled all of our vendor contracts. Michelle has so many wonderful vendor connects in the wedding industry and we went with all of her recommended vendors. Of course, all of the vendors she recommended were just as wonderful as Michelle is. I had so many ideas for the wedding and she helped me bring it all to life, even providing helpful tips on what would look good and what wouldn’t. Her aesthetic is on point and really pays attention to the fine details. She was our sounding board and she made it her #1 priority to ensure we were happy every step of the way. She was our wedding planner at first, but she quickly became our best friend. On our wedding day, she continued to shower us with love and care. She was incredibly attentive and not only did she make sure all the vendors were taken care of, but she also made sure we were calm and had time to relax with everything going on. She puts her clients first and we knew we could relax on the wedding day; we had no doubt everything would go smoothly. We all know weddings are not cheap, but Michelle was worth every penny. We can’t forget about her assistants, they were amazing as well! Michelle and her team are the dream team. Thank you Michelle, you are amazing. We wish we could do it all over again with you!

Michelle and her team at Somni Events are the embodiment of the phrase “exceeds expectations”. During the planning process, many people told us that on the day of the wedding “something is bound to go wrong… just roll with the punches”. These people clearly did not hire Michelle for their wedding. Not only was our wedding day seamless and perfect, but so was everything else leading up to it. Michelle was incredibly communicative, helpful, smart, creative… the level of attention to detail she paid was unreal. She took our vision and went above and beyond, culminating in a wedding beyond our wildest dreams. So many guests have reached out to tell us it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to. A huge thank you to Michelle and her team for making our wedding the most wonderful day of our lives!

My fiance and I worked with Michelle planning not just one, but TWO weddings (honoring different cultural traditions) on back to back weekends. With 2 full wedding events and a <1 year timeline (actually ended up being about 9 months, starting from absolute scratch, absolutely nothing done), we knew we would benefit from the help of an experienced wedding planner. We are so glad we worked with Michelle and her team. Both events were beautiful, memorable, felt very centered on us as a couple even while we were doing large amounts of family-oriented activities. The particular standout features from the planning process and the events themselves: - Michelle was able to translate my rambling and somewhat disjointed Pinterest boards into two distinct looks for our weddings, and made them feel both current and timeless - When we wanted them, she helped us understand options for low, medium, high so we could consider our budget - She's very familiar with the greater Los Angeles / Orange County area, which was great as far as brainstorming venues, vendors, etc. - She either seemed to know or seemed to be able to solve any request / brainstorm - from short listing bakeries to having a harpist on hand to a Chinese speaking emcee, where to get a traditional Chinese dress, etc. - Her team on day of (for both weddings) - absolute MACHINES, running us like clockwork which is totally my speed - so we didn't have to think about schedules, timing, anything, just show up when told - Her suggested vendors were unfailingly super nice, collaborative, and several really went the distance for making their portions of our wedding as beautiful / unique as possible - I felt great about trusting her guidance on vendors - She does a good job balancing offering her view (and she's always got a strong POV which is great) but creating space for us to voice our POV if we had one across everything from design, where to save budget, where we could be more flexible in itineraries, etc. Overall we had such a beautiful wedding experience (which I wasn't always confident we would given so much going on in such a condensed amount of time) and it really would not have happened without Michelle and her team. And, as an added bonus, I appreciate the many compliments we received on the weddings - "beautiful", "elegant", "luxe", "immaculate" - these adjectives are also my speed!! I think you'll be very happy with what Michelle will design and organize for you! Recommend! Also I'm looking at my wedding photos again rn and I just love them!!! Thank you Michelle and team!!

Michelle is the best ever! She was very patient with all our questions during the entire process, on point answering back to emails, changes and concerns. She helped us prepare our day of timeline and made sure everything is to our like and fits our needs. On the day of the wedding, Michelle and Somni team were very professional, attentive and super easy to work with. They provided anything and everything we needed for the day! We highly recommend Somni Events to everyone!

When you think about a wedding planner, my first thought goes to J.LO in The Wedding Planner. Michelle and her team are better than that!!! They are a force to be reckoned with in the wedding world, and that is exactly the team you want on your side! My husband and I, like so many newlyweds, were in for a shock because planning a wedding during a pandemic is HARD. We wanted someone who would not only guide us through the crazy experience called wedding planning but give us amazing ideas and input on creating the wedding of our dreams. Michelle did just that and went beyond!! She gives you the experience of a big company with the attention and tailored service of a smaller company. We were able to video conference and meet with her whenever we felt necessary, even though she had so many other events to deal with. She also was very organized and managed family members during the wedding day to take a lot of the stress off of us on our big day (anyone that knows how pushy Asian aunties and uncles are can appreciate this). Her contacts are so great and you can tell that they want to create a great experience for you and your loved ones. Michelle is honest and mindful of your budget but delivers luxury, sophistication, and uniqueness. I never felt like I was not heard or things got out of control. She made wedding planning stress free and fun! I honestly don't know how she is able to pay attention to so many details, she is amazing! Having a wedding planner that truly loves love and wants nothing but to create the best day of your life is so important! Her style is so unique and modern, I wish she could plan and design all of my future events! She is worth every penny and more! We love Michelle so much and will be forever thankful for all her effort in creating the wedding of our dreams. Go Somnievents!

WE HAD THE WEDDING OF OUR DREAMS! Michelle is exactly what we wanted in a planner. We opted for full planning and from the beginning we got a great vibe from her. Here are some of the things we loved: - attention to detail - organized - lots of vendor contacts - positive attitude She even helped us get a lot of discounts which offset her fee and had a lot of great vendor options at different price points. You might wonder if having a planner is worth it and I say if you can fit it in your budget you will be glad you did. I still don’t know how she manages to do it all but we loved what she did for ours. Highly recommend!

Michelle is incredible and truly the best of the best! We could not have dreamed of a better wedding planner. She was such an amazing partner to work with throughout the whole process. We had to postpone our wedding to more than a year later due to Covid and Michelle helped us make all the changes seamlessly. I have no idea how we could have done it without her. Michelle and her team are amazing and she introduced us to the absolute best vendors we could have asked for. Michelle’s attention to detail, warmth, organization, and positive energy made us feel like we were in such good hands. She executed our vision to a tee and more. Everything exceeded our expectations! Our wedding day ran so smooth and we were able to relax and just enjoy and soak up every moment. We are still dreaming about how perfect the day went. Thank you Michelle for making the wedding of our dreams happen! Highly recommend Michelle and Somni Events!

Michelle was on point, on time, and highly detailed from the very beginning of our wedding planning process to the end of our wedding night. Our dream wedding was made real and we couldn’t be happier with Somni Events making it happen. Thank you, Michelle and the Somni Events Team for everything!

Michelle’s team was so helpful during the whole process of wedding planning. Our coordinator, Janice was very detail oriented. She thought of things in the logistical process that I didn’t even think about. Having Janice as our coordinator really made our lives easier because they thought of everything. Janice and Michelle also coordinated all of the vendors and handled the remaining paperwork. That was a huge help because that took some burden off of us. It was busy season for me at work so it was helpful that Janice and Michelle kept me on track and sent me reminders. Janice and Michelle were available by phone, text, and email whenever we had questions. On the wedding day, Janice and the team helped to coordinate our last minute taco decision and also assisted to collect all of our wedding items. They took care of all the questions that would be directed to us so that we didn’t have to worry about them. So happy and grateful that we had Michelle and Janice during our wedding planning process <3

Michelle was the best wedding planner I could ever ask for. I don't think I would have been able to plan a full wedding without her. She really went above and beyond in helping make the wedding of our dreams come true and was with us every step of the way from when we first reached out to her almost 1.5 years before our actual wedding. Planning a wedding is tough. Planning a wedding in 2020/2021 with COVID concerns is overwhelming. There were so many things to consider and inevitable last minute changes. I am usually very detailed and organized person, but I would never recommend anyone attempt to plan a wedding without a planner. Michelle helped keep us on track and proactively reminded us of things we needed to do with templated docs and timelines for each task. Day of the wedding, Michelle made the whole wedding go by so smoothly. She handled all the coordination with the vendors and the venue and made sure everyone was on track with timing. Michelle made everything we wanted to happen possible and never said no. I'm not very good with designs so I really valued her professional input, attention to details, and great eye for aesthetics when it came to the small but details like color themes, florals, table linens, and lighting. Communication was never an issue with Michelle. She always made time for us and was really quick to respond via text, call, or email. She's also super well-connected in the industry so has great recommendations for vendors. We were so lucky to have her help with her years of experience in the wedding industry. Planning a wedding with Michelle was a really great experience and definitely alleviated a lot of stress. Thanks Michelle & Somni team for helping us make our wedding a beautiful event we'll never forget!

Hands down the best decision I ever made was hiring Somni Events for my wedding. Michelle did such an amazing job on our big day, making the whole process smooth and enjoyable. Not only is Michelle classy and professional, but she is the sweetest, most down to earth person. Don't be fooled by her calmness though, Michelle can get things done! She planned our elaborate wedding in less than 6 months with prompt execution. She has impeccable taste and a wonderful eye for design. Michelle helped so much during the planning process and day of with her experience and expertise, all the while steering me in the right direction without once overstepping or deviating from what we wanted. We were so impressed with how everything came together, and will 100% recommend Somni Events to our friends when they get married!

TL;DR: Want the wedding of your dreams? Hire Michelle! What was the secret to our perfect wedding? Michelle as our wedding planner. Honestly, the planning process could not have been easier and the wedding day could not have gone more perfect. If you stop reading this review here, just know that we would recommend her 10 out of 10 times without any hesitation or reservations! Michelle took our vision for the wedding and executed it perfectly down to the very last detail. She took the time to understand what was important to us and what we wanted out of our wedding day and really helped us achieve those outcomes. We could really tell Michelle knew her craft during our meetings with vendors, especially with the venue and florist. She could communicate and articulate our vision and desires much better than we could! She knew all the right questions to ask and even offered up thoughtful ideas/alternatives to achieve the vision we wanted when budget or other issues arose. Not once did Michelle ever feel like she was trying to push us to do something or make a sale. The whole experience felt very personable and honest. Michelle made our lives super easy by laying out a clear and detailed roadmap of what we needed to do in the months and weeks leading up to the wedding. She set clear expectations and outcomes for each step along the way. Michelle was always accessible via a call, text messages, or email. We really felt like we were her only wedding clients from how responsive and attentive she was with us. We all know that’s not true :D On the day of our wedding, Michelle and her team were like ninjas! I mean this in the best way possible. She was super attentive but stealthily so. They blended in so seamlessly that you might have thought they were a part of the crowd! BUT - when we needed something, she was always there. When something needed to happen, she was already on it. We just enjoyed ourselves and everything happened on its own. The vendors all knew where to go, what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. We have always heard horror stories about the wedding day and how stressful it can be - but our experience with Michelle was simply stress-free and it was just so much fun! Final note - we can proudly say we are Michelle’s longest clients. Our wedding was delayed by one year due to Covid. However, the white-glove experience continued even through the delay. Michelle stayed on top of everything, checked in with us, and kept us in the loop. Just simply amazing. Thank you Michelle!

Michelle is just incredible. Her attentiveness, attention to detail, organization, and overall aesthetic eye gets a 12 out of 10. We don't know why anyone would choose to go it alone when planning a wedding, but whether you're considering a planner or a coordinator, the answer is "yes, do it, and work with Michelle". Michelle helped us select the venue, negotiated an incredible deal (which alone covered her fee 2-3x over) laid out (and kept us to) a tight timeline, put vendor options in front of us with her recommendations, was available to respond to any and all inquiries, and adeptly handled last minute vendor issues, and handled basically everything the day of. A lot of planners would probably leave it totally up to the couple to choose from a set of presented vendors or options such as table linens, furniture, color scheme, menu options, etc. -- Michelle knows this business so well and has such a great eye that she always has an opinion (and it's always right!). I can't tell you how positive the feedback from our event has been; we've had guests rave about the food, flowers, color schemes, setting, music, and more. For almost every guest we talked to, it was the best wedding (or even event) they've attended.

I highly rate SOMNI EVENTS with Michelle! Originally, I wanted to be a hero ‍ and I wasn't going to get a wedding coordinator. I was actually going to do everything on my own to save some money and to achieve the satisfaction of the results I wanted. I am 1000% so happy that I didn't do that and actually got a wedding coordinator that is gifted and delivered with excellence. Michelle was actually booked for the same day when I first reached out to her and when the other wedding cancelled, she reached out to me right away! I'm super grateful that she did SOMNI EVENTS was well worth the money for a peace of mind especially during the Covid Craze! There was an extra number of things to figure out and pivoting that naturally took place due to the pandemic. We even had to switch venues 3 weeks before our wedding due to unfortunate circumstances. On top of that, following a set of city restriction and guidelines and answering people's questions and concerns was not easy. It brought a lot of uncertainty because everything was always changing. All to say, she really worked with me and gave me a peace of mind and delivered well! We had an EPIC wedding!! As I'm standing now on the other side of our miraculously great wedding, Michelle had a big part on making all the details work out so that it could be extra amazing! She was always encouraging and super on top of it with solutions. I appreciated her prompt email responses and all the behind-the-scenes/organization work that I probably still don't know fully to this day. She reached out to vendors, helped us find rental quotes, made sure everyone was on the same page and confident to deliver. I was able to actually have fun and be present during my wedding because all the details (that I would normally be thinking of ) was already taken care by Michelle and her team. They even packed some food for us to take back to eat since it is rare to really eat and enjoy your food during your wedding with so much stimulation and things happening. Michelle and her team broke down/cleaned up throughly, help load the cars and everyone was out before our cut off time at our venue. The best part was that we got our full security deposit back from our venue~yay! During our ceremony (on the rooftop), it was extremely windy and cold...not to mention that it was suppose to rain!!!! Michelle was so sweet and prepared hot water for me and the wedding party to warm up. She even made a short video capturing our special day and sent it to us before we left for our honeymoon. It was amazing and exceeded above my expectations. If you want your wedding to be spectacular and successful, book Michelle before she gets booked!!

Michelle is absolutely AMAZING! My husband and I were so lucky to have Michelle as our wedding planner. We wish we found Michelle the first day we started planning our wedding. We actually had meetings with a few other wedding planners before we found Michelle. But as soon as we had an interview with Michelle, we had no doubt that she was the right person to work with. She was professional, honest and answered all our questions in a logical and clearly manner. During the planning process, Michelle was thoughtful, attention to details and most importantly, incredibly organized. Her communication was timely and thorough. Michelle was very helpful in terms of recommending vendors that suited our style and budget, but never pressured us to use her recommended vendors. She made us a very clear budget list to keep us on our budget. Michelle was always there when we needed assistance. She communicated clearly with all of our vendors and wedding party and made sure that everyone knew what to do and where they needed to be on the day of. On the day of our wedding, Michelle was at the venue very early and ensured everything ran smoothly. She definitely gave us a stress-free day! Everything turned out beautiful and even beyond our expectation. We were so grateful to have her and would highly recommend Michelle to anyone. She really knows what she is doing and she will no doubt help you create the wedding of your dreams!

You can stop looking for a wedding planner now.  You've found her. Michelle from Somni Events will be the best decision you can make for your wedding. The main takeaways from this experience are 1) there is way too much going on for you to handle everything yourself 2) even if you are good at researching and planning on your own, it does not compare to the years of experience a wedding planner has 3) you need a team that you can fully trust 4) you can’t buy good taste. I saw Michelle’s work before meeting her. She had planned my best friend’s wedding and wow I knew I had to use her service when it comes time for my wedding. As the maid of honor, I saw everything from a third person perspective and there really isn’t a single thing I can complain about Michelle. She kept the bride and groom stress-free and happy. She kept all the vendors in check. It’s not easy leading a team of vendors, attending to all the VIPs, and seamlessly executing a 300 people wedding, but she did! When it was time for my wedding, she did everything I thought she would and MORE. I can’t say it enough. You can’t buy good taste and you can trust Michelle’s design aesthetic. You can trust that she will elevate all of your ideas, and somehow create something far more enchanting and breathtaking than you could ever think of yourself. We received so many compliments from our wedding and this is all thanks to Michelle. You will not be disappointed in her service. She is well worth every penny!

We were so fortunate to have found Somni Events to help us plan our big day! We could not recommend them enough. Out of all the planners/designers that we interviewed, Michelle was the most competent, talented, and trustworthy. You can really tell she cares about your wedding just as much as you do. We also appreciated Michelle taking into consideration our budget throughout the process. Michelle made sure that we had everything we wanted that was within our budget. She listened to our vision and ideas, incorporated her feedback and provided additional options that we never even thought of! All in all, Michelle and her team really took away all the stress of planning and took care of everything to make our engagement a truly blissful and fun experience. Highly recommend Michelle and Somni Events to anyone looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and sweet planner!

Words cannot do justice how invaluable Michelle has been to Justin and I over the course of our wedding planning. I found Somni Events through Instagram and was instantly drawn to her impeccable taste, talent, and style. From the beginning to the end, Michelle was there every step of the way with me. Not only is she incredibly organized and detail oriented, she is genuine, courteous, and caring. My whole wedding party raved about how on point she was about every detail on the wedding day. We received compliment after compliment from our family and friends. The wedding itself completely exceeded our expectations. We had a vague vision but Michelle was able to understand it entirely and execute it flawlessly. We can’t recommend Somni Events enough if you are looking to have a stress free wedding specially tailored for you. Thank you for making our day so amazing!!

My wife and I are truly blessed to have Michelle as our wedding planner. After doing a lot of research, many calls, and meetings with several wedding planners, we chose Somni Events. We found Michelle to be much more personable and relatable than some of the other planners we interviewed. She understands the greater visions and executes with all the details. Some people are creative. Some people are detail oriented. Some people can execute. Michelle has all of those qualities. She was so professional and classy on every turn. She really will represent your wedding well. We received so many compliments from our guests on how well the wedding turned out, and we wouldn't have done it without Michelle. By far, this was the best investment we made for the whole wedding! Thank you Michelle!
