Xoxo Weddings

wedding I knew that we would love to have Kaci as our coordinator and lucky for us she was available on our date! Kaci is an amazing coordinator -- always listening to the things that were important to us and making it happen, helping us decide on tableware and providing helpful feedback patiently without ever rushing, helped us find a bakery that had the obscure cake flavors we loved, and was so understanding during the death of a loved one that resulted in some last minute planning. She would gently remind us when things were due, make herself available through text, call, or email for various tasks, and did it all with a smile and a great attitude. On the day of our wedding I'm certain there were multiple fires that we never even heard about because she swooped in and dealt with them in real time. The day before our wedding, her connections saved us from a last minute fiasco (all the wine for the wedding was not going to make it in time). All of her vendor recommendations were top notch quality and easy to work with. She is now going to be the coordinator for a total of 4 couples in our friend group -- cannot recommend her enough. thank you Kaci for everything you did for us, and for helping make our wedding truly the happiest day of our lives!

s that I would never have thought of. During our meetings with vendors, she let me take the reins because I'm type-A so I generally took control of a lot of aspects of the wedding, but when she needed to step in, she did and had meaningful comments and questions to add.  I highly recommend a wedding coordinator as well as XOXO, even if you are a type-A bride. I never thought I would need a coordinator, but Kehau showed me that I did lol. She gave us many recommendations for different vendors, was in all the meetings, helped with all questions and was pretty speedy to answer.  While the months leading up to the wedding were quieter, once it was the month/week before the wedding, Kehau really stepped up.  She coordinated with all the vendors and with the venue without involving me, which I really appreciated so I would not be so stressed. Pretty much everything went according to plan (there's always something -- but not Kehau's fault).  For the rehearsal, Kehau was on top of everything and made sure everyone knew their place. She helped take all the items I purchased out of my hands and store them before the wedding so they could be arranged without me.  Day-of wedding, everything was decorated as I wanted. Everything looked beautiful and went smoothly. She was always there, making sure everything was timed well and whatever I needed. There was one hiccup with the menus, but she handled it calmly and it was fixed quickly.  Post-wedding, we realized there were a few hiccups that were under Kehau's oversight that should have been clearer or better communicated. Some things were lost, others placed in wrong cars, and ultimately most things were fine, but just wish they were communicated better.  And for the record, we purchased the Kisses package but really only needed the Hugs package.  Overall, highly recommend Kehau and XOXO. She was always upbeat, friendly, happy and kind. Thanks!!

th Kelly. She was incredibly responsive, helpful, and was on top of everything. We had a particularly eventful wedding as we had a Sangeet, a Baraat, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Kelly crushed it all. She made sure every detail was seen to, and even checked in during the madness to make sure we ate! Her vendor recommendations were top notch and also budget conscious without skimping on the final product. We can say in all certainty that our wedding would not have been the seamless success that it was without Kelly and xoxo weddings. Thank you!!

married at the Ebell of Los Angeles in August 2025, and Kaci's extensive knowledge of the venue and her strong connections with local vendors made a huge difference.

 Kaci and her team are incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and professional. They made the entire planning process feel smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable. They handled everything, from vendor coordination, contracts, timelines, and layouts to all the small details that truly matter. Kaci provided amazing recommendations for photography, videography, photo booth, officiant/MC, DJ, florist, lion dance, and everything in between. She even helped with our first dance choreography, and her colleague Natalie created a beautiful and unique choreography for our first dance and the mother-son and father-daughter dances. It was such a special highlight of the night.

 As the wedding day approached, Kaci made sure we had a clear and finalized schedule, and she coordinated closely with all vendors so everyone was aligned. On the day of the wedding, everything ran perfectly. Kaci and her team ensured everything flowed seamlessly and always guided us on where to be, so we could fully relax and enjoy every moment.

The decor was absolutely stunning, and so many of our guests told us it was the most beautiful and fun wedding they had ever attended.

My husband and I are incredibly grateful to Kaci and her talented team. They are truly the best in the business, and they made our dream wedding a reality. XOXO Wedding deserves more than five stars.

 Thank you, Kaci, Natalie, Giselle and Natalli!

ok up the challenge of helping us plan from afar. We felt the warmth, expertise, and diligence she would bring to our event right away and throughout the planning process, where Kaci was available and communicative. She was stellar at prioritizing what was important for us while incorporating additional activities and logistics as they came up during the year-plus process. Wedding planning is stressful, but our virtual and in-person meetings felt just as lighthearted as they were productive. Their suggested vendor options were outstanding - tailored to our needs and not overwhelming in the number of choices. Most of the vendors we hired had worked with Kaci before, so the rapport they shared made everything run smoothly up to, and throughout, the big day. Thanks to Kaci’s planning and day-of orchestration, every vendor and staff was on time, equally friendly and within our budget! Multiple family members and guests told us how impressed they were with her abilities. We cannot recommend Kaci and her team enough to anyone who wants an expert wedding planner as much as a dear friend to take them up through the wedding planning journey. Thank you again to Kaci for being a phenomenal planner and person - our wedding was so special because of you!

email correspondence that Taylor was passionate about her role in ensuring our wedding day was executed to our vision as seamlessly as possible. She was easy to work with, had a positive attitude, and was well-known and well-regarded by all of our vendors. Although we chose the “month of” package, Taylor provided us with a framework, timeline and budget tracker that guided us through the process of planning and executing our wedding from a year out to the big day. We had monthly email checkins that provided encouragement and advice, as well as vendor recommendations and contract reviews. All of which was very helpful, and her knowledge of the industry and local vendors was self-evident. About a month before our wedding, we met with Taylor to go over everything that would happen the day before, the day of, and the day after our wedding day. From here she took on total communication with vendors, working with them to create our timeline and ensuring everyone was on the same page. On the day of our wedding, Taylor expertly managed everything from set up to clean up, including small details like making sure we had drinks and apps in hand while signing our marriage license. At one point in the night, we had told her that everything went so smoothly and on-time, not even knowing that at one point she had to personally scare off a bear! Needless to say, she is an expert at making sure the bride and groom are at ease and handle any hiccups discreetly along the way! If you want to work with a coordinator with a positive, can-do spirit who will bring you and your fiance’s vision to life, we highly recommend hiring Taylor!

plete no-brainer that we had to work with XOXO Weddings. Kaci was organized, set out a clear plan for how we'd partner over the year+ planning process, and always kept the trains moving forward. We loved the vendors that she recommended and had so much trust in her ability to execute the wedding of our dreams. We most appreciated that Kaci always gave us options, checked in on what was important to us, and also guided us through making the inevitable traadeoffs. It felt like we had a special partner who had our best interest at heart. Thank you Kaci for such an incredible experience, and for making our wedding planning process a breeze.

le every step of the way. On our wedding day, Mel was truly incredible. She worked seamlessly in the background while we enjoyed the best day of our lives. We cannot recommend Mel and XOXO enough. - Clint and Neal

nd our actual wedding day, however, Taylor was with us every step of the way. From the moment I first met Taylor, there was a sense of calm, organization, and love for Taylor Swift that I knew I wanted for my wedding day. She thought of every detail and handled them seamlessly. From managing the timeline to dealing with all vendors, setting up decor, keeping wedding party members and family in check, she made the entire day flow effortlessly. Anytime a problem occurred, she handled it quietly and efficiently so we never even knew there was a hiccup. As a Type A person that stresses a lot, this was especially important for me as a bride on my wedding day. Plus, everyone loved her at our wedding! From our wedding party members to our family and even guests, we got so many compliments on how great Taylor was! Because of Taylor, we were able to enjoy our wedding day and not have to worry about a single detail. If you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding planner - go with Taylor!! You will not regret it and she is a rockstar!

1.5 years leading up to our big day and she did not disappoint. Despite the fact that Mel had to deal with a traumatic family event in the weeks leading up to my wedding, I never felt like she dropped the ball once. She was always available to respond to my messages, and never once made me feel like I was bothering her. I felt prioritized and confident in her. I'm a type A bride, and had so many vendors and things that needed to get done on the big day. It was a lot of moving parts. But Mel and her team executed it perfectly. I couldn't have asked for a better planner and team to have executed my vision. All my guests were also so impressed with Mel and her team, with how professional they were and how they accurately and efficiently handled everything. They say every wedding has some unplanned hiccup, but I feel like thanks to Mel and her team, the night went seamlessly and perfectly. We stayed on schedule, and my vision came to life exactly how I wanted it. Big shoutout to Mel and her team once again.

y everything went. Taylor is equipped to handle anything that comes up and she does it with a positive attitude and a lot of energy. She did many tasks before the wedding, came with ideas and vendors. She communicated through the whole year and was very organized. The day of the wedding she was there very early and was the last to leave. I would definitely hire XOXO Weddings for any future events again.

oughtfully handled. One of the things we appreciated most was how she kept me, my fiance and our families on track with the schedule—always prepared and attentive, but never in an overbearing way. She has such a calm, professional presence that really allowed us to enjoy the day without stress, knowing everything was under control. Our wedding ran seamlessly thanks to her guidance and expertise. We are so grateful for her support and would highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a planner who is both detail-oriented and a joy to work with.

and overall just so nice and pleasant to work with. She made the wedding planning process easy and stress free and for the day of- she was a beast! On top of everything, I seriously didn’t have to think of anything or life a finger. Kelly helped make our wedding so beautiful and so magical and I can’t thank her and XOXO enough!

xperience as easy and stress-free as possible. We went with the “Kisses” level of service and it was everything we needed and more. Kaci offers exceptional value compared to what other planners were offering for a partial planning service. Kaci is warm, enthusiastic, and incredibly knowledgeable. She gave excellent guidance on vendor and decor selection that aligned with our budget, and she built a realistic and efficient day-of timeline. She made sure everything was taken care of and running smoothly throughout the wedding day. Her calm and confident presence allowed us to enjoy the day and not worry about any details. Kaci truly cares about her clients and it shows in every step of the planning process. Her assistant Jane was also fantastic! To anyone thinking about hiring a planner or coordinator, stop looking and just go with XOXO Weddings. You just won't find anyone better!

we were hoping to achieve in creating a magical night. She exceeded our expectations in every way. We truly adore her and could not be happier with our choice to work with XOXO and Sarah.

oked our major vendors by then – reception and ceremony venues, hair and makeup, photography and videography – but there was so much left to do. From the moment we signed with her, Mel set up monthly meetings to make sure we were on track to do everything else we had to do. From first dance choreography, wedding signage, the linens for the ceremony, so many details I never would have thought I needed. As the wedding date got closer, she took a more direct role in contacting and coordinating with the different vendors. She created a detailed timeline that was incredibly helpful considering we had two bridal parties and 3 different locations. She ran the rehearsal the day before, making everyone felt confident about what they had to do. When things came up last minute, as they inevitably do, she was there to help, and that made a huge difference. On the day of the wedding, she had told us that she would be one of the first people we would see that day and one of the last. She was right. She was there at the end of hair and makeup to make sure we were settled. She was there when we arrived at the ceremony venue, helping to set it up with her assistant, and she was in charge of the timing for us to walk down the aisle. Even when the mic fell off the stand and lost its battery and battery cover, she was able to swoop in and assist. Then it was off to the reception. The reception had several components, including our grand entrance, our first dance, the lion dancers, the speeches, 2 wardrobe changes, the cutting of the cake, and an 8-course banquet. And we pulled it off. She was there from beginning to the end, and we had a fantastic time. Our friend said Mel was one of the hardest working wedding coordinators she had ever met. I fully agree. Thank you, Mel! Our wedding was everything I could have asked for, and I am so grateful to you for helping make it so.

g was great. She was there with and for me, every step of the way. I had most of my vendors picked out by the time I signed on but anything I didn't have picked out already... she had suggestions for and saved me a ton of time. Barb was quick to respond, always prepared, and kept everything (including myself) in check and on time. And did so in a way that was really appreciated by all involved. I believe everything she suggested and did, was to help me have the wedding I wanted to have. Evennnn when it came to things she might not choose for herself! :D So yes, I recommend Barb with XOXO weddings to any bride (or someone planning an event) who needs any kind of support from planning all the way through to just enjoying your special day.

need a planner or coordinator. We had a long window and our own personal experience coordinating teams and events. It quickly became apparent that our lives would be exponentially better relying on Kaci at every turn. There are so many things to be grateful for, like the big stuff of scheduling visits to venues and providing lists of trusted vendors. But we think so much of the little stuff is what saved us: sending an email after a day when we were just not up to it or chasing down answers when the videographers might not be making sense. And we’re sure there’s three times as much stuff to be thankful for that we never even heard about because of her work. But maybe most of all, we have to acknowledge her positivity and energy. We have to imagine that not every day is a good one. But she never let on that any task was a burden or that we were another number on a spreadsheet or that she needed a moment to just be in a bad mood. It’s rare to find that quality in a person, let alone someone who has dedicated their life to making sure other people have one of the best days of their lives. We can’t stress enough how perfect our wedding was. And she is one of the main contributing factors in that perfection.

ry customized experience! You can tell she has lots of experience, she handled my wedding day with love, authority, and organization! I am a very DIY person, I’m so glad I booked a wedding coordinator! I was able to plan and create the wedding of my dreams with her help. On the day of my wedding, I truly had to worry about nothing! (:

rom the moment you meet her. She is beyond organized and does it all with a smile. We live in NYC and got married in LA, the thought of planning a wedding across the country was stressful but Kaci made the planning process seamless. We opted for her Hugs package, which seems to be truly unique in the industry, and she allowed us to customize and add to the package as we needed. We got married two weeks after the horrendous LA fires broke out in January and through it all Kaci was in constant contact with us and our vendor team (even when her own home lost power!). She is incredible at what she does and overall just a joyful person to be around. I cannot recommend her (and her team) enough!

on which is what most planners/coordinators offer. From the moment we had our first meeting, she was ready to jump in and start drafting a timeline. I originally planned to do all the coordination and planning myself but halfway through the planning I realized that I really needed help, especially on the day of. Now, I could not imagine going through the planning process without Kehau! Since we was able to put together the timelines, communicate with vendors, and set up all the decor, I was able to focus on enjoying the wedding itself without worrying about things going smoothly. Because of this, I really had a lovely wedding and I owe this unforgettable day to Kehau and xoxo weddings.

of all the annoying work (contracts and insurance!!) we didn't want to do, made our wedding run like clockwork, and were a delight to have as part of our special day. Kelly was a joy to work with, she took care of every detail, and our wedding was perfection thanks to her. If it was possible, I would have Kelly run my everyday life too!! She is a maestro, a magician, and a mensch!! We are forever grateful to Kelly and XOXO!!!

first wedding planners we chatted with and the way she asked questions about us, our story, what was important to us, the vision of our wedding, gave us all the confidence that she was the perfect person to handle our special day. We live in Minnesota (although the groom grew up in LA), so having someone help plan your wedding when you don't live in the state is of the utmost importance. After hiring her in December, 2023 she was right there with us for the next 13 months. She made sure we stayed on budget, gave us various vendors to contact, and answered all of our questions promptly. She did all of this with a smile on her face through each conversation. She made us feel like we were the only wedding she was planning. The sign of a great wedding planner is how they handle everything when things don't go as planned. How about getting married in LA during the week of the fires? Our wedding was January 11 and we flew into LA on the 8th, the day where things really started to get out of hand. Despite one of the many fires getting close to Kaci's house, and her power being cut, she never panicked. She never made us feel like our wedding was of the utmost importance to her. She handled it all with professionalism. Because of the fires, we did have to pivot on some things, including our officiant not flying in. Kaci was there at every turn to help us with important decisions and she kept calm the entire time. The day of our wedding went on without any issues, 13 months of planning paying huge dividends. Bottom line, if you want someone that is going to make you feel like your wedding is the only thing going on in her life, can help you every step of the way, and can handle the most major of crises, then Kaci, and XOXO Weddings, is the company to go with.

ut XOXO we instantly knew they would be a great fit for us and our wedding planning needs. Kaci is extremely organized and made the planning process an absolute breeze. She was easy to communicate with and get a hold of always. She guided us and gave her recommendations which helped us in a lot of our decision making process. The day of - Kaci and her team made everything run so smoothly. I truly did not have to worry about one single thing. We even had a spill all over my dress and Kaci was prepared with everything and anything to remove the stain. She made the day stress free and I cannot thank her enough. 20/10 recommend Kaci and her team. They were truly amazing to work with

wedding and by the middle of the night, we were asking for her business card. She is so extremely hard working and goes above and beyond for you. She's perhaps the most organized person I've ever seen and she prepared us for things we never would have thought of. Every time we started to get any anxiety about the wedding, we reminded each other about Kelly and immediately felt at ease. Because of her diligence, our wedding day went off without a hitch! You won't find a better wedding coordinator than Kelly and the team at XOXO Weddings!!

on come to life. She thought of every little detail, from the big picture to the smallest touches that I never would have even considered. Throughout the entire planning process, Kaci was incredibly thoughtful, attentive, and of course...organized. She guided us through every decision with patience and understanding, always making sure we felt comfortable and excited. Her input was invaluable, and I truly felt that she was invested in creating a day that was uniquely ours. The meetings were not only productive but also a pleasure—Kaci took the time to get to know us, understand our style, us as a couple, and listen to all our ideas. Her creativity and expertise shone through in every element of our celebration, and I am so grateful for the care and effort she put into ensuring everything went smoothly. If you're looking for a wedding planner who goes above and beyond, I wholeheartedly recommend Kaci and XOXO Weddings. Thank you again for helping us create a beautiful and stress-free wedding day! I can honestly say that I don't think a single thing went other than planned!

uld call them *quicky*. We had Mel supporting us from before we even had our venue or date picked and let me tell you- now after the fact, I would have cut budget in every other category to keep her if for some reason it came to it. She was truly the MVP of my entire wedding vendor list, and my entire wedding process (besides my choice of groom). A word to the super organized brides out there- if you are the most responsible and reliable one of your friends and family, you MUST get a planner! And a strong one at that. I wanted one day where I wasn’t solving everyone else’s problems and could just enjoy, and the only way that was possible is because I hired, and 110% trusted, Mel. Kaci has incredibly high standards so I can only imagine the other planners are just as rigorous, but I’m very biased towards Kaci and Mel just from my experience with them directly.

enue manager, you could tell there was a clearly established relationship there. We had Sarah booked as our day-of coordinator, but she assisted far beyond that. As soon as we booked her, she provided us with any recommendations we needed and was available via email for any questions that arose! My favorite part of XOXO's packages are that they handle timeline creation for you (such a game-changer), and they took over vendor communication about 2 weeks out from your wedding. That saved me so much stress and hassle leading up to the day! On the day, as everyone says, we had some hiccups, but Sarah handled them and reminded me to relax and not worry. She helped keep us on time throughout the evening, and we are so grateful for her. Thank you Sarah and the XOXO team!!

we would be doing a fair amount of the back end booking of vendors and organization. Since day one Alli was nothing but organized, prompt, communicative, knowledgeable, kind, and not to mention hysterical (providing the comedic relief I needed as a type A & stressed bride). Any question I had or recommendation on a vendor was met quickly and with incredible information and experience and did an incredible job at keeping me organized and on top of everything for the big day ahead. While I won't go into too many details, Alli consistently put out fire after fire due to the lack of organization of other vendors without adding to my stress and keeping me calm, happy, and in the loop. She was always one step ahead of me in resolving any problems and most of the time had resolved any issues before I even knew there was any! For us the wedding flowed so smoothly, guests were extremely happy and having an incredible time, and the setup of the wedding was straight out of our dreams (when I know behind the scenes she was working incredibly hard all while 7 months pregnant!). I have nothing but incredible things to say about Alli and working with XOXO Weddings! We highly recommend to all future brides and grooms!

hly basis once we signed the contract approximately 7 months before the wedding, and making herself available whenever we had questions about working with our vendors and other details. My husband, parents and I had some specific visions for the wedding including a two-part ceremony (Traditional American and Persian), and she was extremely helpful with refining and executing our vision. The day of our wedding, Mel and the XOXO team were on top of it, from coordinating with all of our vendors and setting up decorations, to making sure that we followed the planned timeline. My husband and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Everything went as smoothly as it possibly could have and we owe a huge thank you to Mel and the XOXO team for that!

out and not updating changes on our checklist after we talked about it fully) but she was just so happy and excited about our wedding I did not think too much into it. Our wedding day was a disaster (of course our love, the marriage and all of our friends and family was great as people are forgiving) but thexecuting part of it was a nightmare. Our ceremony started 30 minutes late (which effected pictures at sunset and when our hungry guests ate) due to our wedding planner. The wedding itself was not set up in time (guests were walking in to boxes as opposed to the vibe we discussed and envisioned). She did not put out important things we had in the box we gave her --she only put out some things: things she "forgot" were pictures of people who were deceased, markers for our guests book, the table numbers which were pictures of us as children, etc etc. She set up the audio phone wrong so people were leaving us messages but they were not recorded....weddings are a once in a life time thing and these precious memories and the time we spent trying to capture these memories were just ignored. All of our vendors including the place in which we had the wedding (in which XOXO said they"always did weddings here" commented on how much of a mess or all over the place our coordinator was. I was also doing the coordinating the day of from getting the hair and make up room set up to dealing with last minute things at the vendor because our wedding planner was not picking up her phone. Honestly, I could ignore all of this because I run a small business of my own and like to give people the benefit of the doubt and am a forgiving person. The worst thing she did was start to take down our wedding while it was happening (so guests were confused, didn't get to sign the guest book, it ruined the vibe...) and then threw everything in boxes and then made me and my groom carry all of the boxes to our shuttle bus to load ourselves. She had a cart but used the cart only for her stuff and then watched us (I was wearing a $3000 wedding dress and so tired from the night) load things. First of all, this was her job, not ours and second we don't mind helping but she didn't do anything: she watched and told my bridal party to delegate. I kept a smile on my face the whole time because I was marrying the love of my life and the day was sacred; I also do not like to start drama. I reached out the owner Kaci to just share what happened so she was aware and she did exactly what she did to the other responses of the other negative reviews that are posed about XOXO: acts defensive and gaslighting us like it was our fault. Why would I cause this on the happiest day of my life? I paid thousands of dollars for someone who messed up their short checklist of things to do. It would have been better if I did it myself (I mean I did half of it myself anyway). I write this lengthy review because XOXO has companies in three different states. The owner is not present in California and if you are planning a wedding here, I highly recommend going with another company. There are many better options out there.

ed, communicative, and just an all-around amazing person. We signed our contract with XOXO about six months before the wedding, and Mel was there to help every step of the way. From suggesting vendors to setting up monthly catch-up calls, everything felt so much smoother once she came on board. She was a great point of contact for the vendors we had already booked and handled all the communication with the new ones we hired. Mel even helped us through a tough situation with our original photographer, who ghosted us a few months before the wedding. We highly recommend XOXO Weddings and Mel to any couples getting married in SoCal—they made our wedding planning experience so much easier!

ntire wedding day went incredibly smoothly, all because of her. She was accommodating, proactive, and professional, helping make a destination wedding feel like a breeze. She immediately put us at ease when during our first meeting, she asked us to tell her all of the things we were worried about regarding our wedding. Our whole family fell in love with her and we truly could not recommend her and the whole XOXO team more strongly.

she took over on the logistics, we felt like we were in great, capable hands. During the wedding, we kept getting compliments on the flow of the event. XOXO and Sarah made it easy for us to relax and enjoy our time with everyone on the day. Sarah is above and beyond wonderful. Thank you, Sarah and XOXO!

ommend XOXO enough!

ime job. Fortunately, my husband's sister had an excellent recommendation for XOXO weddings. We opted for the comprehensive wedding package and were rewarded by working with the owner of XOXO, Kaci! Kaci immediately put my mind at ease. From the first call we had, we bonded over so much. She makes you feel safe in your decisions but also has a keen sense of when and where to guide you to make the right calls for you. One of the most significant game changes was her list of what to worry about when. It made me realize I didn't have to take it all on at once; we could break each thing down into individual steps per month. Additionally, she didn't overwhelm us with options, she listened to our requests and presented us with three options at a time. If we didn't like any of the three, she brought three more. The wedding took place in Palm Springs in April 2024, and it was gorgeous. Every one of her recommendations was so kind and professional. From the venue to the flowers to her team that was on hand the weekend of to assist - it was everything and more.
