Amazing Microwedding

We hired Monica to plan and coordinate our microwedding (8 guests). Monica helped us search for an Airbnb to serve as a venue, and connected us to the florist, caterer, photographer, and baker. We were impressed with all of her recommendations. Leading up to the wedding, Monica also took the time to meet with us on the weekend since we live out of town. During and after the visit, we were confident the wedding would be a success. The weekend of the wedding she was punctual, friendly, patient, and creative. Without having seen the house/venue, she was able to decorate quickly and gracefully. During the wedding, we did not worry about anything and she was attentive to our needs throughout the wedding day. We highly recommend working with Monica.

Thank you!

Monica and her team brought our wedding vison to life! We initially booked Monica for the full planning package only and then decided to move forward with the FTD design services. We were very happy with their services and everything was beautiful! Our wedding day was exactly as we imagined. Thank you Monica & team!

Amazing Experience!

Monica is every couple's dream planner! She is down to earth, meticulous and passionate about what she does. We started working with her a few months before the wedding, she always checked in if needed. On the day of, she stopped at nothing to make sure we had the most incredible day. She dedicated every minute of her time and was there from our morning ceremony to our evening reception. She made sure the ceremony went smoothly. And at the reception, every single guest commented on the beautiful decor. Monica and her team were very organized and detail oriented. We truly appreciate all the work that she did for us! Thank you!

Look no further when choosing a wedding coordinator. Monica is amazing in everyway! At every turn whatever I needed she made it happen. Needed a new florist boom done. Coordinate my vendors for a walk throw multiple times, we had a very big wedding, done and with grace and proficiency, done! Dropped my rehearsal dress in the mud the day before my rehearsal, she swept it up before I could even react and said it will be hanging freshly cleaned in your closet ready for the rehearsal. Needed a last minute dress steamer, it was waiting in the suite on the day I arrived. She managed to corral my rambunctious bridal party. And thought of the things that only she would know from her years of experience. Every time I would even look like I was starting to worry she took care of it. She is not only the woman that single handedly made my day everything and more she is now a true friend. And I really love her real personality. She isn't fluffy and patronizing like many wedding vendors can be. Fake fake fake they all seemed. With Monica I felt her genuine love for what she does and knew she really meant everything she said about being there for me and wanting my day to be the best day of mine and my husbands life! And obviously price is always a concern for a bride. I would have paid triple hell more than that to have Monica by my side. Worth her weight in gold! The pictures don't do justice to everything Monica did. She was involved in every piece of planning from the flow of the day to the tiniest detail on the bubble bottles. And the pictures definitely don't speak to the level of expertise in coordinating the deliveries and setup, organizing everyone in the bridal party, controlling the venue staff on the day of, as we had about 80 people working at the wedding from bathroom attendants to security. And you never think of the breakdown & clean up she handled it all. Congrats to the soon to be brides in search of your perfect wedding day! Enjoy it goes by so fast!

Monica was great to work with! We planned our wedding from out of town and could not have done it without her assistance.

I'm a wedding photographer and I worked with Monica a couple of times in the last few years. She was always very professional, helpful and very kind.

Great experience with Monica

Enrique & I had a great experience with Monica. I know she had a lot on her plate that day with other events. We were happy with our overall experience.

Not professional at all, had no legal insurance till the last minute

We hired Monica for decor & event planning. She was too nice in the beginning but after receiving payment, would hardly return phone calls, increased price right before the event. Didn’t take care of any coordination of the day of the event. After the decor was done, she just sat through the whole event. Please be careful when you hire her.

Unresponsive, Unprofessional, Unacceptable

We made the mistake of hiring Monica. When we first contacted her we were pleased with her attitude and approach, even though there was a little missed communication on her part (which in hindsight should have been a red flag). We were assured that even though she was extremely busy this year, she would have time for us, and we decided to move forward.

We had a short virtual meet-and-greet and one in-person meeting to set up the rough plan for the wedding day. She took notes, and we agreed to meet again at a venue walk-through with our key vendors (which she would schedule) and we shared our availability.

Fast forward a few weeks and not only had she not sent us the notes from our meeting (promised "within a few days"), she was not responding to multiple forms of communication, then out of the blue "confirmed" a walkthrough on a day we explicitly said we were not available. And then was completely missing in action the 24 hours leading up to that walkthrough-- not answering emails or phone calls. We shuffled our schedules to try and make it work, but due to all the confusion it ended up not happening. The worst part was that she confused our vendors, and it was embarrassing to have her represent us to them.

We lost all trust in her to be able to handle logistics, organization or communication... and since that's why you hire a planner, we made the decision to fire her. Because we couldn't reach her via phone, we had to fire her over email... and never even got a response. Not an apology or an acknowledgement of any kind. We lost money, but it was worth it to hire another planner whom we could trust.
