We hired Jax Nelson, owner of Coastal Proposals (San Clemente, CA), 2.5 months before our wedding in Los Angeles. We needed a day-of coordinator who understood right away all the detailed work that my wife and I already completed in planning our own wedding. We live walking distance to our venue, The Culver Hotel, and used their standard wedding template setup. So we were able to put in ~5-10 hours per week over 4 months to hire vendors, select our food/services with the hotel, write down the wedding day hour-by-hour schedule on Google Slides with photos/diagrams, and even made a 20 minute virtual rehearsal on Youtube for all vendors. All we needed was a coordinator who could read the plan, watch the video, and know what to do with minimal instruction. On our big day, we were 100% confident she would handle everything flawlessly, and use her experience to quickly solve anything unexpected while we were busy. And she did just that! She has exceptional intuition and understood what we wanted with minimal interaction, pre-wedding and on the day of. We had a magical wedding that we will savor for a lifetime!

I don't plan on getting married again. But if I were to advise other couples, I would seriously consider hiring Jax as a 6-12 month wedding planner from start-to-finish if you can't put in 5-10 hours per week to plan it yourself. If you have planned your own wedding and just need a day-of coordinator, Jax was far and away the best option we interviewed. She's super calm and collected so you can focus all your adrenaline on being the stars of your big day!

I worked with Jax from Coastal Proposals for my wedding back in March 2023. She was patient with my many questions, reassured me throughout the process, and asked a ton of questions and requested imagery to fully understand my vision. The day of the wedding was perfect and stress free and I can’t thank her and her team enough.

I have worked with Jax multiple times in the past 8 years and she is amazing to work with. She planned my wedding effortlessly. She didn’t have much to go off of as my wedding was a little last minute, but she made my special day elegant, stress free & beautiful. She planned my entire baby shower and the theme I wanted was spot on. Everyone had a wonderful time with the games she planned, ensuring everyone was engaged in conversation & having fun. Lastly I will mention mine & my husband’s house warming. Jax perfectly planned everything! From food to getting everyone we love all together, she made our new house a home! Jax makes having an event relaxing & always nails the theme, color scheme & all over atmosphere. We love Jax & will use her for every event we have!
