Candice and her team at Milk Events were absolutely incredible, their hard work and dedication to our wedding were second to none. They are experts in what they do, very responsive, and we could not have had our dream wedding without them. As a side note, if you are planning a wedding at Greystone Mansion, Candice is your go-to gal. Candice is truly the best in the business and helped the day run smoothly. We even had guests come up to us and comment on how well-organized everything was (we owe that to her). Tessa was also incredibly sweet and helpful on the day of the wedding. We also greatly appreciated the diversity of vendors they work with and their experience with cultural ceremonies. We held a Western ceremony and a Sri Lankan ceremony, and the Milk Events team did an excellent job facilitating both back-to-back. We would recommend Milk Events to anyone planning a wedding, they are the best.

Milk Events truly went above and beyond for my wedding! I have the highest recommendations for Candice, who was the dream wedding planner. She answered every question with intense detail, helped find solution for the many family issues that come up regarding weddings, and was such an amazing sounding board for all operational questions.

She designed my wedding invites from scratch with my vague vision and seamlessly managed the entire schedule of events from beginning to end. She has an amazing team who helped pull it off. I couldn't imagine doing this without Milk Events and recommend them to everyone I know!

Weddings are a lot to handle and deal with, so make sure you choose the perfect planner who can do it all. Milk Events is the one!!

We worked with Milk Events for our wedding receptions in February. For a variety of personal reasons, we held two completely separate and distinct wedding receptions - one Chinese and one Western. To summarize the below, we loved working with Candice and Tessa, and would highly recommend them.

We found Milk Events as they were a recommended vendor at the Caltech Athenaeum, and we worked with them from the very beginning. We purchased the Skim Milk package including design for both receptions, and worked with Candice early on to develop a separate “vibe” for each reception. We had two calls, and I primarily sent inspiration via text and Instagram - she “got” my aesthetic completely and provided an incredibly helpful PDF “look and feel” document, as well as a list of rental that we would need for both events.

Three months before our events, my fiancé and I began working with Tessa to plan details for both receptions. Tessa was extraordinarily helpful in helping us organize ourselves (and our vendors and extended family), and helped us understand what we needed and when. In addition, she was always super cheerful - which was incredibly helpful when we hit any roadblocks. It also helped that both Candice and Tessa had worked with most of our vendors, and it all seemed to come together seamlessly.

Both receptions went wonderfully, and I recommend Milk Events enthusiastically.

Wedding planning is hard, and it can be super stressful. But, for my now husband and I, it was pretty much a breeze, and it's all because of Candice. My partner and I had a couple of pretty specific things we wanted for our wedding and Candice helped us to find the perfect vendors and did some DIY to make them all happen! She constantly went above and beyond in helping us find vendors, adhere to our budget, and make our wedding dreams come true. Especially when it came to vendor meetings with the venue and florists, she helped to take the lead to make sure everyone knew exactly what we wanted. Especially on our wedding day, Candice and her team helped tremendously and made everything run so smoothly and on time! All of our vendors kept commenting on how good we were on time and how calm we seemed throughout the day. That calmness was truly because of how well Candice had planned the day. Even the day before our wedding, my husband realized he had lost his tie. We had no time to grab another one so we were prepared for him to just not wear a tie down the aisle. BUT, after I had mentioned it in passing to Candice, Candice went shopping that evening and found the PERFECT tie for my husband.

I cannot even begin to describe how grateful I am to her and her team for everything they've done for us. They're truly the best!

Candice and her team were so communicative and thorough with our wedding. She took so much off our plates during the wedding planning and helped source our vendors based off of our preferences.

The day of our wedding went so smoothly! All of our guests said it was the best wedding they have ever attended. She kept the entire day on schedule. When we accidentally left stuff at the wedding, she picked it up and gave it to us afterwards. And it's all because of Candice.

She also speaks Mandarin which was so helpful!

I told my now wife (!!) that I was so impressed by Tessa, Candice, and the Milk Events team, that I wanted to write their review myself. So here I am!

I had no idea what it took to plan a wedding. I hadn't really thought about it beyond the proposal haha. But it turned out that our wedding venue required a day-of-coordinator, so we started searching for wedding planners and coordinators in our area. Right off the bat, Candice was very friendly, responsive, and professional. She gave us the warm and fuzzy feeling that we'd have the elegant and laid-back coastal wedding we'd dreamt of.

We also went with Milk Events because they're local so they know other great local vendors (Florals for the win!). Plus, they have significant experience with Asian couples. Their feedback (plan for X amount of time for the tea ceremony, the aunties will appreciate tea and hot water at the end of the night, etc) was invaluable. Clearly, they know their Aunties!

In the months leading up to the wedding, we met up with Candice and Tessa (our lead planner and day-of-coordinator) once at the venue and twice at their office. There were so many small details in a wedding that they anticipated, and they prepared a schedule for us detailed down to the minute - it was a masterclass in planning and coordination.

By the time the Big Day arrived, Tessa was in full gear. The night before our wedding, she herded all the cats, oh I mean our wedding party and family, for a smooth rehearsal. On the wedding day itself, she flawlessly directed a team of her own assistant coordinators and our many vendors including live musician, photographer, videographer, florals, desserts, photobooth, lounge area, our personal decor, that big board thing where we put everyone's favors, you name it! Sorry I forget what a lot of things are called but that's what you get when the groom writes the review =)

There's so much to take in on your wedding day. It's both the best day of your life and a complete blur. But I will definitely remember how amazing it was to see professionals like Tessa and Candice in their element, executing the our special day down to a tee. Milk Events was spectacular. Thank you again for everything!

We booked Milk Events for our wedding coordination in 2019 for our originally anticipated wedding in June of 2020. From the very beginning, we were paired with Kristy, who was absolutely amazing--very responsive and helpful with any questions I had throughout the planning process. However, we had to postpone twice due to COVID so we were appointed a new coordinator, Lindsey, to handle the remainder of our month-of coordination. She was also superb--helping with vendor outreach on the month of and everything leading up to the day-of. On the day of the wedding, there were unexpected moments like the rain, but the team monitored the weather and helped us make decisions to ensure that everything worked out perfectly.

Lindsey was awesome and stayed calm when we had to come up with backup plans. I was so thankful for my all-star team that executed my dream wedding so flawlessly! Candice, the owner, stopped by and helped, even though she was not scheduled to be there that day! 💗 She was there for the first look and even went to our venue to help coordinate when it started to rain--she was so sincere and jumped in to help whenever I needed it on that day. I was so appreciative of that! Candice, Lindsey, and their assistant coordinators really killed it on the day of the wedding and made my husband and I feel at ease with all of the unexpected hiccups that came up along the way.

Some other major perks with booking through Milk Events: our package included rental decor items that we could choose from and they helped us set up on the day of the wedding, so we didn't have to worry about buying things like votives, LED candles, cake stand, welcoming table decor, etc. Also, they also have their own stationary company, Milk & Paper Co., from which I was able to custom-design my invitations! I worked with Candice throughout the process and she was able to execute my vision perfectly!

Hiring Milk Events was one of the best decisions we made towards our wedding and I would recommend the team to everyone!

Candice and her team are the best!!! My husband and I went with their Skim Milk package which is day and month of coordination, however even with this option, what Milk does is so much more than just coordination. Candice was there every step of the way with advice on small questions to referring vendors, and everything in between. She is organized and great with communication. She doesn't miss a beat and she knows the wedding industry inside and out. We were lucky enough to have Candice as our main coordinator on the day of our wedding, and seeing her in action was incredibly. She knew our venue well, plus her no-nonsense practical attitude paired with gentle encouragement helped keep us on schedule and we got to do all the things we wanted (including eat!). Candice and her assistants were so sweet and even captured some behind the scenes photos that we could see straight away. On top of it all, their pricing is very reasonable for all the work they do behind the scenes before and during the wedding. We can't recommend Milk Events enough!

Highly recommend Candice and The Milk Events team!! I got married on 7/10/2021 but our wedding was originally planned for June 2020. Due to COVID we had to postpone the date and during this stressful and uncertain times, Candice was always there for our couple. She had updated me with the changes to COVID restrictions and followed up with me throughout the year.

I was a full-time grad student when I was planning for our wedding so I decided to look for a wedding planner who can guide me through each and every step of planning. I went with the full package with The Milk Events and it was truly the best decision I made during this planning process!

With years and years of experience in the wedding industry, Candice always knew what I was looking for! She is sweet, professional, and very knowledgable! She has created the perfect wedding that I had envisioned. I am so thankful to have connected and worked with Candice and her team!

**HIGHLY RECOMMEND** Just got married on 8/15/21 and can't say enough wonderful things about how amazingly smooth it all went because of Candice and Milk Events! My wife and I went with the (day of) package and were completely blown away with the service we received. Candice is highly responsive, usually responding within 24 hours at the latest. She's definitely an experienced coordinator and was always able to help answer any questions we had leading up to the event. Obviously because my wife and I were newbies in planning a wedding, she was also a great source for guidance on a lot of our decisions.

The day of the actual wedding, Candice and her team were so professional and helpful. Making sure everything looked amazing and operated per the crafted timeline.

My wife had no issues whatsoever the day of our wedding. Completely smooth sailing. Candice was amazing at organizing all of our vendors and letting them know where to go and what to do.

Candice also made sure that during the day of, she resolved so many last minute issues that were happening to my grooms suite (e.g. getting the A/C in the room fixed, asking the venue to fix the outlet in the grooms suite restroom, helping the groomsmen put on their boutonnieres). She even made sure to give us a few moments in between events to eat! As many other married couples know, getting to eat your own wedding food is a luxury since you almost never have time to enjoy it, but she made sure that we had some time to enjoy our food too.

GREAT experience and choice going with Milk Events. Because of them, my wife and I can fondly look back at our wedding day with nothing but smiles.
