Charley was my wedding planner for my Malibu wedding in October 2024, and she truly exceeded every expectation. She managed everything seamlessly—from the rehearsal dinner and welcome party to the full wedding day—and made the entire experience feel effortless.

From day one, Charley was incredibly professional and thoughtful. She has such a calming presence, which was invaluable during the planning process. Anytime I felt overwhelmed, she gently reminded me to stay present and soak in what is such a special time. That alone made a huge difference.

She also has an amazing network of vendors. Every recommendation she made turned out to be absolutely perfect, and we were beyond happy with everyone we worked with.

What impressed me most, though, was how flawlessly she executed everything on the wedding weekend. I truly didn’t have to lift a finger. She anticipated every detail, had backup plans for everything, and made sure the entire event ran smoothly without me ever having to think twice.

Her assistants were just as incredible—professional, attentive, and completely on top of everything.

I genuinely cannot recommend Charley enough. She made what could have been a stressful process feel joyful, seamless, and unforgettable.

This review is long overdue but I would be remiss not to leave a five star review for a truly gold star planner.
We cannot say enough incredible things about Charley King and Bluebell Events. From the very beginning, Charley made what could have been a stressful planning process feel seamless, thoughtful, and genuinely enjoyable….and for context, I am a Project Manager. 

She planned both our rehearsal dinner at Westlake Village Inn and our wedding at Calamigos Ranch Pavilion, and every detail felt effortless and perfectly executed. Charley has an incredible ability to balance high-touch service, creativity, and elevated event orchestration.

One of the most valuable parts of working with her was her deep knowledge of vendors. From helping us select our invitations to the perfect florist to create our vision based on an AI rendering, and connecting us with the perfect band; she brought us all the top-tier partners and consistently guided us toward the best choices at the right time. Charley alleviated so much of the pressure with ease, allowing us to actually enjoy the process.

On the wedding weekend, everything ran flawlessly. We were able to be fully present with our friends and family, knowing Charley had every detail handled behind the scenes. That peace of mind was truly priceless. She anticipated all the potential stressors day off and created a day-of miniature printed run-of-show booklet for our family and bridal party so no one needed to pull us away. It was thoughtful touches like this that made all the difference. Not to mention the added bonus that she got us published in Inside Weddings: https://www.insideweddings.com/weddings/palm-beach-gilded-glam-wedding-malibu/55007

Charley is not only an exceptional wedding planner, but also warm, fun, professional, and an absolute joy to be around. If you’re looking for someone who will elevate your wedding while making the entire experience feel like a fairytale, we truly cannot recommend Charley and Bluebell Events enough. 

I have to say Charley is such an amazing wedding planner! Hiring Charley as our wedding planner is the best decision my husband and I had ever made. My wedding was supposed to happen in 2020, because of Covid we had to reschedule the wedding to 2022 (2 years dealy, i know!!!). To be honest, postponing the wedding is definitely not easy (very sad), and charley was there to support me. Later, she ensured the transition to our new date was seamless. She is absolutely professional, detail-oriented, and always there to answer any of my questions or calm any worries that I had. It was a privilege to have her as our wedding planner.
During the wedding day, Charley made the whole wedding event run so smoothly. The wedding was very beautiful and all of our guests enjoyed it. Me and my husband can’t thank her enough for all of her hard work, dedication. If you want a smooth, beautiful, and stress free wedding, you absolutely need Charley.
If I can give Charley 100 stars I definitely would! Highly recommend Charley to anyone who is looking for a wedding planner.

Charley is quite a special person, and exceptional for making me feel as if I was her only client in the entire 8 months we worked together. She brought to my and my daughters attention potential roadblocks to our timeline and asked questions about things we hadn’t even considered. She listened to what my daughter and I wanted, responded to every single email, and there were a lot in those 8 months! She’s creative and gave us a jumping off point because my daughter never had an imaginary wedding carried over from her childhood. I was astonished by Charley’s deep referral list of every kind of vendor and service imaginable, and at price points to fit every budget. They all share her ethic in providing an exceptional personal service. She’s highly communicative and kept her head about her when I was not at my best. Charley keeps her promises, she’s discreet, and is she loves what she does. My daughter and her, now, husband had a spectacular wedding, and I’m still getting calls from our guests saying it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended. I have no doubt that I would not be getting those calls were it not for Charley! I would be doing a great disservice if I didn’t also say she has a fantastic crew of representatives who descended on us on like rain from the beginning of the rehearsal dinner to well after the wedding reception had ended. With time span between the wedding and now, I can’t think of a single thing I would have done differently.

I don't even know where to begin, because there are not enough words out there to describe what an amazing person AND wedding planner Charley is!! We had our wedding postponed due to the pandemic 3x, which would have been stressful, but Charley made it SO stress free for us! She was truly there with us every step of the way! She is so detail-oriented and organized that she takes all of stress of wedding planning off of the couple. She has such a bright, warm energy that everyone- family, vendors and friends- just absolutely adore her! She is such a pleasure to know and love!!

We decided to go forward with a "micro wedding" of 10 people before our big wedding in 2021, and Charley's planning of our first wedding was absolutely exceptional. She made our small micro-wedding feel SO intimate and special, it truly was the best day because of her. From reception dinner design to color scheme, Charley thinks out every single detail to make any event truly remarkable.

We can't wait to continue to work with Charley for our big reception in 2021, and any special event we have in our life in the future! We love you Charley!!

I worked with Bluebell Events for my husband’s 50th birthday party and I cannot say enough about the amazing service and professionalism I experienced with Charley Izabella King, owner. She really took time to understand my goal and my husband to come up with the most creative ideas to personalize the party to best reflect my husband. Devil is in the details (and lighting) and Charley does not miss a single detail. Charley also works around the clock and is very responsive. She pulled off this party in one week! She created a very special and memorable evening. I feel as I have not only a go to planner now but also a new friend.

Cannot recommend Charley enough!!!! I felt so taken care of, advocated for, and loved on the whole time we worked with Charley. Honestly. Charley and her team had to do damage control from another wedding planner who we had to separate from just a quick month and a half before our wedding... she picked up the pieces and created a wedding worthy of royalty. Charley was organized, had a perfect timeline that was stuck to on the day of. She respected our budget, found us deals from vendors and advocated for us in every aspect we needed. She was amazing with my hard to handle family, and made me as a bride feel like everything was perfect and easy going. There was literally not ONE HICCUP from her! The only hiccups were from me and my family and she did an amazing job of fixing all "oh crap" moments and I didn't even know about them until after the wedding! Charley is pure gold. Her heart is beautiful, she is gorgeous inside and out. Her background in theater and the arts comes through with all her design and direction, which made our wedding day flow so easily. To be honest, I did not enjoy wedding planning for one second until Charley came into my life. She put me at ease and made it feel like everything was going to work out the way we wanted. The Wedding Industry can be hard to navigate, and so many people will try to squeeze every penny out of you for "the most special day of your life." Charley made me feel like it was the most special day while respecting the boundaries of money and individuality, that our needs were being met and I was being heard with every subject at hand. I keep telling Charley she is never getting rid of me because I adore her. We are forever grateful for this amazing woman. In a world that makes you feel like you can't trust everyone you come in contact with, when you speak with Charley, know that you are getting an honest, bad ass woman, who's heart is so big... the most professional of them all, and a woman who gets things done!

Our experience with Charley King and Bluebell Events was phenomenal. Charley not only helped our vision come to life, but her little touches made dramatic improvements to our event. She was a great listener and executed on exactly what we wanted, even if some things were a bit unique. She understood what was important to us and helped us tailor the day to put the emphasis where we wanted it. She also was able to help us save money in a lot of areas, while making suggestions that were small investments, but made a huge impact. She and her team have an amazing attention to detail, which was a huge relief on the day of our wedding, knowing we were in such good hands. She allowed us to enjoy every second of the day, without having to worry about any of the production. She was just an absolute pleasure to work with before the event and on the day of and goes the extra mile for her clients. We would recommend Charley and Bluebell Events in a second.

Charley at Bluebell Events is one of a kind. She is highly responsive, goes above and beyond to provide excellent vendors and referrals and is a dream to work with. Given my short timeline and limited budget, I was unable to hire Charley but nonetheless, she was extremely helpful and a wonderful sounding board. I highly recommend her; she is truly exceptional. Thanks, Charley!!

Charley is simply amazing. She executed our dream wedding flawlessly, all while maintaining a happy demeanor and a smile on her face.
She will go above and beyond to make you happy. Every vendor loves her & it's so easy to see why once you get to know her, she is responsible, communicative, kind, fun and a pleasure to work with. Given her plethora of relationships, she will find vendors that will fit your budget. Knowing the budget was a priority for us, Charley found vendors that would provide us what we wanted at the right price. she has great taste and makes great suggestions for what will make your wedding memorable (and so you can get the best value).
Finally, Charley is just an amazing person that you want to be friends with. She's easy-going, kind & understanding. My husband and I looked forward to every vendor meeting knowing Charley would be there and we'd get to hang out.
I highly recommend her and have already referred her to dear friends as I know they would be in amazing hands with Charley.
