Professional, Personable, and made my wedding day!

I met Katherine from Love is Sweet over 2.5 years ago. I remember my husband and I interviewed over 4 other coordinators, but Katherine stuck out because she was able to answer ALL of our questions succinctly and was so nice about everything. She is a true professional that knows what she is doing. Throughout the entire planning processing, Katherine promptly responded to my texts and calls. She helped set everything up for our wedding day and helped take everything down. She and her team made me feel like royalty on my wedding day and I didn't worry about anything. A lot of people say that your wedding is the best day of your life and I thought that is a lot of pressure going into the weekend, but after the wedding, I truly felt like it was the BEST day of my life and I owe it to my partner, family, and the AMAZING Love is Sweet team. My wedding went so smoothly and Katherine built an amazing timeline that was perfectly executed. She kept other vendors on track and it went so smoothly. Not only did Katherine help with the coordination, but she helped with the flowers (which were within my budget AND were so beautiful) and she also helped with decor! I am very grateful for Katherine's floral connections and I am so happy how the florals turned out! I highly recommend Katherine for wedding coordination! I am going to miss talking to her regularly!

Wedding went as planned and more!

There are not enough words for me to express how much I appreciate Doris!! I would like to thank Doris for helping me plan our wedding! We decided to host it at home, so there were so many factors to considered.
From day one, she has been attentive and detailed. Although I was the one procrastinating, she was very patient and kept me on schedule. She stepped in when I could not balance planning, work, and school, and took the lead on things I sat on. We had a full day and through each phrase, she ensured the vendors arrived/set up on time, the "to-do" list was taken care of, and kept the program moving along. Any issues that arise, she took care of it and did not have to come to us for a solution. If you are unsure where to start, get easily overwhelmed, or have a bad habit of procrastinating, Doris can help you get through it to make it happen. Thank you again, Doris!

10 Starts AWESOME service

If there's a 10 starts option, I will give it to this awesome planning team in a heart beat. My team and I had the pleasure to work with Candace and her team. Candace is certainly one of the best weddings/events planners out there to work with. She is very organized and follow through with all emails and text message for the entire process. As we all know how crazy busy it can get on any wedding day, with her and her team's help, not only we were worry free, we were able to have more than enough time to create some amazing photo and video for our clients. Can't thank Love Is Sweet Events enough for all of their helps. Couples if you are at lost of wedding planning, look no further, this awesome team will certainly help make your dream wedding come true.

Thanks for being a part of the best day of my life

My apologies for the late review, but l really wanted to let everyone know how amazing this company really is. Candace, Doris and team were truly god sent, hand picked just for me and my husband and I will be forever grateful for the amazing job they did at my wedding. keep in mind that I contacted them 3-4 months before my big day! they were kind professional and a true compliment to my undecided life! I had 7 brides maids and 7 grooms men on top of my 150 guest. My wedding took place in the beautiful city of long beach and it was one of the best days of my life and that was due to the professionalism and care of Love Is Events! Choose them and thank me later!

Above and Beyond!

Our wedding was perfect and Candace, Katherine and their team were by far the biggest reason for it. They went well above and beyond what was expected of them when planning our wedding. They were so helpful, so organized, and it was clear that they love what they do. We also had Candace do all our floral arrangements and we couldn’t have been happier with how beautiful everything was. On the day of the wedding, Katherine did so much to make sure the wedding went smoothly. She kept everyone on schedule, made sure everything that needed to be set up was done for us, made sure we were fed and stayed hydrated, and so much more. Too much to list here. We are so overwhelming grateful to Candace and Katherine!!

Fantastic! Life savers! You need them for your special day!

Amazing! Wasn’t planning on getting a coordinator in the beginning but I am so glad that I did! I worked with Katherine and from the very beginning she was so very sweet and helpful. When we told her that we wanted a Disneyland themed wedding she was on board right away and didn’t think we were insane lol since we didn’t know how we were going to pull off of our theme and not have it be cheesy we brainstormed with Katherine and she really came through. Throughout the whole process if I had any question, big, small, weird, she never failed to answer me within a good time frame.

The month leading up to the wedding was when Katherine showed her true super powers. She made sure to get into contact with all of our vendors to get any permits and insurance that were needed for the venues which was such a big help for me since that was what I dreaded the most

And the day of!! Oh my! Amazing amazing! She had two other girls helping her out the entire day and all three of them made my wedding the most amazing day ever! If I had a question, they had an answer or they would find me an answer right away! I had one girl stay with me throughout the day to make sure I was always on time (or as on time as you can be on your wedding day) all three girls stayed until the very end of the wedding which I thought was great

Overall, I could not recommend their services more. Amazing work ethic, amazing service, and amazing people that are amazing :)

They made our lives so easy!

I hired Love Is Sweet Events for their month-of coordination. From the first meeting after we signed up for this program, Candace already worked with me to draft up a wedding day timeline and gave me so many suggestions with regards to vendors, how to decorate my venue, how to discuss my needs with vendors, what to look out for when signing contracts, etc. She liaised with all my vendors to confirm their arrival time to the venue, made sure all insurances were in place, and all final payments were made. On the day of the wedding, she and her assistant kept close communication with me, my husband, and my bridal party to ensure everyone was where they were supposed to be at the correct times. My husband and I did not have to sweat at all about where our things were and if we should clear up anything in the venue before leaving to our rooms in the hotel. By the time we made it to our hotel room, we found everything neatly packed in boxes and ready for us to take home. The whole day moved by quickly yet flawlessly. I'm going through a conflict with my venue over-charging us for the bar tab. I had messaged Candace for confirmation on the details and she was very quick to respond with backup details to support me. I would recommend Love Is Sweet Events to all my friends!

Amazing Coordinator

Candace and her team did an incredible job for my wife and I's wedding in Pasadena on November 11. She helped us throughout the entire process to ensure that our wedding went off without a hitch and it was an incredible time for us and all of our guests. I will and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic wedding coordinator.

They made my big day such a success!

Candace, and her team of Angela and Doris, did such an amazing job to ensure my wedding went super smoothly! Unfortunately, my venue made several errors, such as giving my team only 45 mins to set up our venue room instead of 90 mins, but I didn't even know about this until after the wedding b/c Candace and her team handled it, hustled, and got it done in time. You hire coordinators so that you are able to relax and enjoy your big day and know that they will problem-solve and handle any issues that come up without you having to step in, and that is what they did for me so I am very happy with the services they provided. I planned a wedding that had a unconventional flow and Candace did such a great job of helping me build the timeline months before, and onsite her team made sure everything flowed the way it was supposed to! Thank you for all of your hard work, it certainly paid off and the day was perfect!

One of the most patient and brilliant coordinators I have ever interacted with. I was so nervous for my special day, and Candace was able to keep everything in flawless order. My husband (so nice to say it) was a bit of a pain, but she never once made us feel like we were an inconvenience. Love is Sweet Events is a treasure at heart and this shows in the service we received. Thanks for your wonderful insights and vision. My day was more memorable that I had ever imagined it would be. I will definitely be sharing my experience with others and highly recommend them. Top Notch!!

Candace, Kathleen and the entire Love Is Sweet team is always a joy to work with. In the year that I have been the Catering Manager at the Westin Pasadena, I have had the pleasure of working with Love Is Sweet Event Coordinators several times. Lucky for me they have provided services for many weddings over the years as they are locally based in Pasadena and already have an established and wonderful working relationship with the hotels Banquet team. The partnership between the Hotel & Love is Sweet is valued and efficient when executing events. Thank you ladies!
