Monica Haleh with Create Events was hands down amazing. We originally hired her to be a day-of coordinator, but ended up hiring her as a planner when COVID changed our wedding plans and we decided to host something small in my parents backyard instead of at a big venue with everything included. There were a TON of details to work out, including things like where to stage the ceremony (and reception), as well as bathrooms, chairs, tables, decorations, catering, bar, servers, basically EVERYTHING... plus figuring out how to take COVID precautions and help us and our guests feel as safe as possible with the gathering. Monica was not only professional and responsive but also incredibly knowledgeable and had a connection for everything. She is pretty much single-handedly responsible for not only bringing our special day together but also making it downright magical.

Hiring a wedding planner is a must for your wedding and we are so happy we hired Monica and Create Events for our destination wedding! There is so much going on and you want to enjoy the day verses being stressed out about everything going right! I know many people hire day of wedding planners but I highly encourage hiring Create Events for full wedding planning. At first I thought this was for the hands off bride but really quite the opposite. Monica sat down a number of times with my husband and I and discussed our vision for our wedding. She made my Pinterest board come to life. Also since we met with her in person my husband came to the meetings and was part of the planning process. If I had done it all on my own there's no way he would have sat down for hours looking at pictures and working with all the vendors.

Since we had a destination wedding in Cabo San Lucas we had our family and friends around us the entire weekend. She took care of everything from making sure the restaurant was ready for our rehearsal dinner, our welcome bags delivered and that everything ran smoothly the day of. Without Monica and Morgan I could not have just sat back and relaxed, but knowing they knew what I wanted I truly was able to enjoy the day and weekend with all our friends and family.

They truly are the best and made our wedding day and weekend so special! Thank you Create Events!

Monica, Brittany, and the rest of Create Events are honestly such great wedding planners- I would hire them any time! I only used them as 'day-of' coordinators, but they went far and beyond just the day-of. I planned my wedding from Chicago (wedding was in Carlsbad, CA), so it was quite stressful but I had most of my vendors already chosen. I just knew I needed help the day of because we had 250 guests and two locations. Monica and Brittany met with me two different times when I traveled to Carlsbad to meet with our venues/florists etc. Each time they were very professional and always on top of everything. Between then, I asked for advice on certain wedding decor and ideas and Monica responded very quickly and gave great advice.

The day of our wedding Brittany was very efficient and so calm while directing everyone! She had 3 others with her due to our large group and multiple locations (ceremony and reception were at different venues). They all came very early to make sure all of our vendors were setting up at the proper time. They also kept checking up on me to make sure I was not stressing throughout the process and to trust them and let them take care of everything. Our bridesmaids and groomsmen actually commented how great they were directing everyone and making sure everything ran smoothly. Imagine 250 guests at one venue for the ceremony. Trolleys transporting everyone to the second location for the cocktail hour/reception. That's a lot to handle with all the small decor that needed to be transported and set-up between as well. And trust me... My large family is crazy and loud. So trying to handle everyone is probably a headache in itself.

Long story short... Hire them. You won't be disappointed! They're so great- honestly.

Thank you so much Create Events for such a great experience! We truly loved working with you guys and would recommend you to anyone!

This review is so long overdue, but Monica and her team at Create Events are so worth the mention! I can't imagine our day without Monica and her fabulous team! We worked with Monica as our month-of coordinator, but felt like she was still with us for every step in the planning process long before that. She was so responsive and easy to work with, and really helped outline the process for us to stay organized for the big day. On the day of the wedding, she and her team handled EVERYTHING flawlessly. They helped decorate the cake with the florals left by my florist (and it looked INCREDIBLE), made sure everything was perfect, and even ran out to buy an extra case of white wine for us when it ran out (hazards of stocking the bar yourself). As a bride, I felt so at ease the entire day and never once felt like something was missing or that something wasn't being handled. To this day, my mom still talks about what an amazing asset Monica was to our wedding and planning process. Monica and her team made sure we had the most perfect day (and we did!), and I would highly recommend her to ANYONE looking for a planner/coordinator! <3

Monica and her team were absolutely incredible! I was nervous to leave every little detail on the day of to a wedding planning company, but it was truly the best money I could have ever spent. They showed up early, were extremely organized, and continued to make me feel calm and reassured throughout the entire day. I loved how my husband and I would get updates through her assistants, and we were never left in the dark. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for the best service, while also not breaking the bank!

Create Events was amazing and made my day run so smoothly, I cant imagine not having my day of coordinators to help and all the guidance along the way from Monica and her team! They know what they are doing and make the wedding process stressfree and enjoyable!

Monica and the entire Create Events staff is top notch!! Trying to plan a wedding back home in San Diego from Texas would have been impossible for my now Husband and I. They are amazing and made the planning, as well as, the day of events go perfect and smoothly! I would recommend them to everyone planning a wedding anywhere! Thank you guys for making our wedding as perfect as we could have imagined!!!

Monica from Create Events was our amazing day-of coordinator for our June wedding and hiring her was one of the best decisions we made. As part of our contract with our wedding venue, my husband and I had to hire a professional coordinator. Initially, we weren't pleased about additional expenses and finding another vendor. However, once we met Monica and saw how professional and friendly she was and learned how much she did, we knew we had to hire her. Monica described her role as more of month-of coordination, but she did even more than that. She was available for all my questions and any advice I needed leading up to the wedding. She also helped me get organized and develop day-of timelines and make sure I had every detail covered. Throughout it all she was my advocate with vendors and the location, making sure what we wanted was most important. The day of the wedding, Monica and her team were on site hours early to make sure everything was in order and to be of help in any way they could. I felt such relief knowing she was there. She handled every problem and details I messed up on, like when my heel broke or when I forgot to include children's meals for the reception. Monica and her team solved every issue quickly and quietly, with smiles on their faces. I had nothing to worry about. At the end of the evening, they had all my DIY elements, the cake, and gifts/cards packed up to help family members that were taking them. Monica's team really went above and beyond. On top of all their amazing work, Create Events' prices are so competitive; hiring her was really the easiest decision we made during wedding planning. I respect and appreciate Monica's philosophy that she wants to be every couple to be able to afford coordination services. Not only does Monica work incredibly hard, she makes it look effortless, she is always smiling, she is professional, and she is friendly and kind. She is the kind of person my husband and I wanted there on our happy wedding day.

Monica and her team we’re AMAZING! We had the wedding day of our dreams. Her support throughout the entire planning process cannot be beat. She was always one step ahead of us and taking a lot of the tedious legwork on herself. I am a very laid back bride and my husband, Mr. Groom, is more so. Monica took our style, our budget and made wonderful suggestions. She would give us her opinion when we asked or didn’t have one our selves, which was very helpful too!

The day of, we cannot commend Monica and her team enough. We did not have to worry about a thing. They we’re busy making sure the entire day was perfect. They also did an amazing job staying one step ahead of our enthusiastic guests and we cannot thank them enough. A bride should not plan a wedding without a planner. More importantly, no one should ever plan a party with Monica & Create Events!

Monica and her team at Create Events were tremendous handling our wedding planning. There was not a time where we had any stress, they took amazing care of everything and everyone. They coordinated the vendors, the guests, the bride and groom gift exchanges, the photographers, video Grapher, etc.. Additionally, they were so knowledgeable and had great recommendations for ways to cut costs, lists of vendors and venues. Can't say enough great things about them, they were invaluable to the success of our wedding and would recommend them to anyone.
