Wedding coordinator

I wanted to leave a review for Juliana and her company in Beyond the Event. I am not a big person on leaving reviews, but considering that my husband and I just got married, it only felt right, because we had the most amazing vendors.

We hired Juliana in 2022 about mid year but our wedding wasn't planned until November 2023. We hired her for month of day of , and even though it was over a year away, Juliana was the kindest; in that she still took calls and helped guide me throughout the year , which she didn't have to, because that wasn't a service we hired her for, but her generosity and kindness helped me and my now husband so much in planning our wedding

She was very transparent with us, always communicated either through phone or email. She gave me so much advice and then the closer it started to get toward our wedding was even more helpful. We met her during the first walk through and Even our families loved her. She had told us at the beginning of 2023 that she wouldn't be able to physically attend our wedding because her sister was getting married the same day, but she did have two staff members, Jessi and Melissa, in which were going to be there at the day of.

My husband and I had no problems with that considering she had helped us already through the entire way and we are huge on supporting small businesses. She helped assist the day of, and even though it was her sisters wedding, she still managed to FaceTime and communicate during the wedding with her staff to make sure that everything was running smoothly. She even contacted my mom and she also messaged me the day of congratulating us Which I felt was the sweetest thing she could have done.

Coming up to the day of our wedding her staff, Jessi and Melissa coordinated everything so beautifully. They actually helped assist with our decor, movers and I and my husband's vision of our wedding and the way we expected it to look, absolutely came to life, they were on time with everything. The decorations were exactly how I showed them the placement of everything the guests even complemented, Jessie and Melissa , and how much fun they were and how sweet they were. I had a friend who wasn't so comfortable sitting on this one chair. She felt like she was going to possibly break the chair. She went to Jessi to see if there was anyway that she could switch chairs. Jessi made it happen and made her feel so comfortable that she could assist her. It was honestly really great to have a company that not only was there to help my husband and I but also tended to our guests.

I just want to say a huge thank you to Beyond the Events owner and staff for making our important day one we will never forget.

Founder/ Lead Coordinator

I’m Juliana the owner of a Beyond the Event, I grew up in Long Beach but sometimes I call it Mi playa larga. After being a bride myself in 2017, I fell in love with putting together every small detail of my happily ever after. I wanted to bring that love and creativeness to all the beautiful love stories that are letting their love grow. I was a kindergarten teacher and was always the one creating specific decor for our classroom/ school yearly events. This is where I discovered my passion for event planning. I love helping place together all the pieces of the event and watch their visions unfold on one of the biggest days of their new chapter as a newlywed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m a lover for all genders & people, a United States Air Force wife, fur mommy and willing to the extra mile on the smallest details.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The beauty I found as a coordinator & floral designer is that a career and passion came together as a full-time job. When a couple chooses me, I choose you back and then we are in it together. I love being part of where each individual couples wedding and follow wherever their love story takes them.
