You can stop your search for the perfect wedding coordinator, Modern LA Weddings has your back!

Nam and his team coordinated the wedding of my dreams. Due to Covid we had to cancel our initial wedding date and move it up an entire year. Not only did we move the date but we changed venues entirely and had to cut our guest list down from 160 to 100. The new venue was my parent's backyard. He made me feel at ease and communicated with all my vendors. The wedding planning was a breeze and Nam hooked me up with the best vendors and the best prices. I valued his advice so much and I gave him full artistic license on the decor and design with just a few of the ideas I initially gave him. Rosie, his assistant was incredible on the day of our wedding. I had zero stress as the bride and I was even able to sleep in, grab myself breakfast down the street from our hotel and take my time getting ready because I knew she had everything all figured out. Since the venue was now at my parent's house I was worried about all the logistics of moving all the vendors, electrical concerns, set up etc. Nam and his team TRANSFORMED my parent's backyard. It looked like an Italian villa. Seriously, do not look anywhere else, Modern LA Weddings is worth the investment and will be the best vendor you can hire for your wedding or event.

A standing ovation!

Nam and his team deserve the highest praise. Hiring Modern LA Weddings was the best investment we made in our wedding. On the day of, we had absolutely nothing to worry about. Nam and his teammate Rosie ran our rehearsal, then made sure we made it from our hotel down the aisle, and then made sure we could enjoy every aspect of our wedding. Nam understands sensitivities involving Vietnamese culture. He navigated them well and gave us great advice on how to address family members' concerns.

I wasn't super excited about my venue at first, but Nam transformed it. There was no space for a cocktail hour, so Nam created one. He transformed the front of the building, which is normally nothing more than a few parking spaces, to a cocktail hour that made people feel like they were at a Hollywood party. The vision was all his -- laying the astroturf, putting up hedges to make the event feel enclosed, and putting up wash lighting. The guests loved it and felt very special.

Also, we would have not survived our visit to all 27 guest tables without Nam! He just "gets" it and has a goal of getting you to a place where you can just enjoy the wedding. On our wedding day, he worked a 13+ hour day at the venue to make sure everything was perfect.

I would recommend Nam to any of my friends and family members. Thank you Nam and Rosie again for everything!!

Working with Nam and his team was such a stress-saver on our wedding day. We hired Modern LA Weddings for month-of and day-of coordination. In the month before the wedding, they were a tremendous help in coordinating with all the vendors, working out timing, and helping me figure out all the loose ends that I would never have thought of on my own. On the day itself, it was so nice to be able to trust that I had professionals monitoring every aspect of the wedding so that I didn't have to worry about anything. As far as I'm concerned, the wedding day went as smoothly possible and I couldn't be happier!

WOW! WOW! WOW! Nam and his team were a gift from the angels above! I was one of those busy brides who had no time to plan a wedding and needed a partner in crime who was going to know what I needed, help me make decisions and keep my wedding day stress free. Not only did I get everything I hoped for a more, I ended making a lifelong friend out of Nam. I wanted a zero drama wedding planner who understood my budget but also my specific taste and would work for me. Nam gave me all of those things. We were a holiday weekend wedding with 330+ guests in Downtown LA, with three events through the weekend. Everything was seamless! When people ask if I could have changed anything, the only things were SO MINOR that no one would have even noticed. Everything was perfect and fun. Nam was worth EVERY penny.

I had the wedding of my dreams and I never would have been able to do it without Nam Lam and the Modern LA Weddings team! Planning an LA wedding all the way from NY is not and easy task, but everything came together so beautifully. Nam is a master at vendor selection. He knows everyone and has great relationships with local vendors. Best of all, he knows exactly which vendors will mesh with your vision and your personality. Every single vendor that Nam and his team suggested was phenomenal! At one point I became overwhelmed with wedding planning and I told Nam that I trusted him and that he had free reign to bring the vision that we discussed to life. I saw a lot of the details for the first time on my wedding day and I was completely blown away. Hiring Nam was the best decision we have ever made and working with him was an absolute dream! On our wedding day we did not have to lift a finger or worry about a single detail. Everything was handled. I recommend him 100%, not only because he is great at was he does, but because he also really cares about his clients and does everything with so much passion behind it. We can't thank him and his team enough for bringing our dream wedding to life!

What if I want 10 stars? And I want them to be gold. Is there a way to give 10 gold stars? If there is, Nam will know how to do it! He was able to make all of my wishes come true. It's one thing to know what you want, which I did. It's an entirely different matter when it comes to actually bringing that vision to life, which Nam did. He went above and beyond for me, I honestly feel like he should have charged us more! I can't rave enough- Nam was the best thing that ever happened to my wedding. (Aside from my husband, of course.) He was my hero, confidant, planner extraordinaire and at the end of it all he became my friend. I couldn't have asked for anything more!!

I'm so happy Modern LA Wedding coordinated my wedding at Triunfo Creek Vineyards in Sept'14.

I received day of wedding coordination services from Modern LA Weddings after firing another full service wedding planner due to its fraudulent business practice (see my review for Vivian Paire & Co.). Nam Lam was a great vendor to work with from start to finish. Although our contractual agreement was for the day of, Nam volunteered to start his services earlier than the 1 month of prep time after hearing about my reasons for hiring him. Nam just radiated

With just under 2 months left in our wedding planning, we had secured our venue and some of our vendors beforehand but found that we needed a lot of help with what we were missing, including a day-of coordinator. We vetted a few highly-rated planners before deciding to move forward with Nam at Modern LA Weddings. It was clear from our first conversation that Nam totally got us. He had great suggestions and connections with people/vendors that we ended up absolutely loving (especially the florist and photographers)! Day of coordination with Nam and Hovik was total perfection. As the bride, I worried about nothing and was able to enjoy the day with Hovik by my side the whole time, ready to help me with anything and to keep me and the wedding party on schedule. The design and layout of everything at the venue was exactly as discussed (and much of it turned out better than expected). After the event, everything was packed up and either moved to our cars that night or delivered to our home the next week. We had special toasting glasses engraved, and late in the evening, we thought they had gotten swept in with all the other catering glasses... but it turned out, to our surprise, that they were washed, packed and moved to the car. There were so many elements to the wedding that made it so incredibly special and we couldn't have even hoped for, if it weren't for Nam and his team. My husband and I are beyond grateful that they played such an important role in making our wedding the best day of our lives.

We hired Nam to help us plan our wedding and to be our day of coordinator. This was the best decision ever! It was such a relief not having to worry about anything especially on our wedding day and it flew by seamlessly. Worth every penny!

Nam is the greatest coordinator I have ever met. He is so personable, genuine and his events are very organized. Everything from the start to the end of the event is seamless and the decor is out of this world! We love working with Nam and we cannot wait to work with him on another wedding in the future! :)
