Creative, organized, and professional!

My husband and I were to so happy to have chosen Luciana and Masumi to help us create a wonderful day that we will not forget! They were able to coach us through all aspects of the planning and coordinating process making the day-of smooth and worry-free for us. They did the work for us while we enjoyed the day. We were weary about hiring a planner/coordinator, but am so glad that we did- one of the best money spent. Thank you Masumi and Luciana!

Run don't walk to work with events by gs - 11/10 experience!

Working with Luciana & Masumi has been a D R E A M that made our wedding a magical reality. Where do we even start?

From the get-go, they were so friendly, warm, welcoming & so genuinely interested in hearing all our design ideas, hopes and dreams for our wedding. They even sent us the most thoughtful wedding planning present to kick-off the process! Every meeting or call we had for our planning sessions had us feeling less stressed for the big day and filled with so much more clarity around our next steps. They're both super organized and immediately provided us with a LOT of resources to help us plan effectively - budgeting sheets, master decor trackers, timeline templates, layouts for our venue, seating chart templates... you name it, they had it! And because of their experience and connections, they were SUPER helpful in giving recommendations whenever we needed... like where to have our after party, was a HUGE HIT!

What also stood in our experience was how involved and collaborative we could be throughout the planning process with them. This seems like a no-brainer comment, but for a couple that wanted to be SUPER involved in every aspect of the wedding, this was huge! And because they're just genuinely wonderful people to work with, they gave us the space and confidence to explore taking a unique twist with our wedding that made it feel unconventional yet authentic to us as a couple. We spent so much time reviewing every aspect of the wedding (timelines, decor, my extensive planning powerpoint) so that we would feel confident & well-prepped going into our wedding - this was a massive help!

In addition to all the virtual planning sessions, we were so fortunate to do in person walk-throughs at our venue with them (and some of our vendors) because we were all local. And soon enough it was a few days before our wedding and they led our ceremony rehearsal with our family so easily. With organization and precision, we watched as they walked everyone through the entire venue, timeline of the day, our wedding ceremony + processional and where to stand for speeches. We both have very lively families but Luciana and Masumi handled everything with ease which had everyone feeling so excited for the big day!

And on the day of the wedding? Words cannot truly describe how grateful we are to them for being there and ensuring our wedding went smoothly. And when I say there were no issues on the day of our wedding, THERE. WERE. NO. ISSUES. Luciana and Masumi were fantastic at navigating the beautiful chaos of the wedding and really took care of us and our guests. The best part? I mean, apart from all of it, they went above and beyond to turn our flower arrangements into bouquets for guests to take with them, they cleaned up EVERYTHING, brought our whole wedding vision to life (and so much more) AND even came to our after party to dance the night away. What's been so incredible about this experience with them is not only did we get to work with the most talented, compassionate and kind-hearted people, but we made lifelong friends through the process. We have so much gratitude for them both and everything they did for us at the wedding. To anyone who is looking for a wedding planner, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE consider working with Luciana and Masumi. They're incredible people to know and the best in the game.

Thank you both so much for making our dreams a reality and helping us have the time of our lives at our wedding. We love you!!!

xo,
Monica & Eli

Made our wedding dreams come true...TWICE!

If we could give a million stars to Luciana and Masumi, we absolutely would! We had the pleasure of working with them twice. Unfortunately, our first wedding in February was evacuated due to a terrible storm, and we were unable to realize most of the wonderful planning that had gone into our first wedding. Luciana and Masumi were able to keep our guests calm and remained communicative when we had to abruptly wrap things up. They were able to keep me and my groom excited for the round 2 wedding this past August--which by the way they were able to fit us in during the peak period of wedding season. All the planning and decor efforts (with some new additions), made it over. The day went on without a hitch! Even prior to both wedding days, it was a joy working with Luciana on logistics (as I can be quite the type A bride). She has a calming, bubbly, and professional energy that made her a joy to work with for us and other vendors! Masumi was excellent in helping me narrow down some of my creative desires for the decor as well! All in all, we had two beautiful days and memories that will last a lifetime. Highly recommend. Thank you, Masumi and Luciana!
