10/10 - LyKai is the best!

Hiring LyKai was one of the very best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, her calming energy, warmth, and genuine care set her apart from the other planners we interviewed. You could immediately tell she wasn’t just looking to book another client — she actually took the time to get to know us, our story, and our vision. She is incredibly organized (a lifesaver for two people who are not natural planners), but never once made us feel like we were behind or difficult to work with. Instead, she kept us on track in the kindest, most supportive way. She respected our budget from start to finish — and what we appreciated most was her honesty. Even in moments when I was ready to splurge, she’d remind me of the vision we originally laid out and advise where our money would actually make the most impact. That kind of thoughtful honesty is rare, and we valued it so much. Her vendor recommendations were amazing across the board, and every detail came together seamlessly. On the actual weekend, she brought the perfect balance of calm and fun — the type of person you want to be around on such a high-energy, emotional day. Our wedding was truly unforgettable, and I can say without hesitation that it exceeded even our very high expectations, largely because of her. We are so grateful for LyKai and couldn’t recommend her more highly. 10/10 — if you’re considering a planner, stop searching and book her. You won’t regret it.

A True Gem – LyKai is Everything!

This review is admittedly a bit late, but my gratitude for LyKai is truly timeless! Looking back on our wedding day, I am still in awe of how flawlessly everything flowed, and it is 1000% because of LyKai and the incredible team at Moments Remembered Events.

From our very first meeting, LyKai brought such a calming, joyful energy to the table. She has this rare gift of making you feel like you are her only client—listening to every tiny detail of your vision with so much heart and zero judgment. Her organization is legendary, and she handled our vendors with a level of professionalism and grace that allowed us (and our families!) to actually be present and enjoy every single second.

Lykai, you didn't just coordinate a wedding; you protected our peace and made sure our dream came to life even better than we imagined. Your dedication, your kindness, and your "can-do" spirit are unmatched. Thank you for being such a beautiful part of our story.

We love you, LyKai! You are simply the best! 😘

Highly recommend LyKai

LyKai was such a kind and helpful presence throughout the entire planning process. In the months leading up to our wedding, she was always available to answer questions, help with details, and make sure everything stayed on track. On the wedding day, she was absolutely amazing — calm, organized, and completely on top of making sure our vision came to life. Everything flowed perfectly and I truly felt like we didn’t have to worry about a thing. She made the day stress-free and beautiful. We so grateful for all her help and would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a coordinator who truly cares

Alexander Wedding

LyKai with Moments Remembered Events was the best decision we made when coordinating our wedding! She went above and beyond with coordination and supporting us in making decisions. We are from states away and were traveling to California for our wedding with family. Even then, LyKai was phenomenal at supplying recommendations for nail salons and things to see and do around San Diego. She carried the load on our wedding day without issue and helped coordinate a crew of people. She worked within our budget to help make the best decisions we could. She responded quickly and helped us navigate any snags we expereienced. We could not have done it without her and could not recommend her services more!

LyKai is the absolute best person to lead your wedding team!

We had the pleasure of working with LyKai through the day of coordinator package, and she and her assistant DeeDee ensured every part of the day ran smoothly. She regularly met with us throughout the planning process (starting many months in advance) to discuss event flow and space layout/decor, and had many suggestions that made our day look super polished and flow beautifully. She introduced us to many incredible vendors that she could recommend from prior experience, which was such a helpful vote of confidence and made booking high quality services super easy. Her wonderful experience shows up in everything she does! She took lead on vendor communication about a month out from the ceremony, including facilitating a venue walk through with the venue and catering reps, and ensured the vendors had all the info they needed to do their best work — many said she made the best day of timeline they’ve ever seen! She was on site with DeeDee from 10AM onwards, setting up the decor exquisitely, and was on site until the last box was loaded in a car at 11PM. Her expertise, attention to detail, and leadership made all the difference, and we would strongly recommend Moments Remembered for anyone planning a wedding or other event in San Diego County. Thank you so much for being you, LyKai!

Best Ever!

Lykai was more than a wedding planner for us, she felt like family. I am so thankful we had her by our side. I hear wedding planning is stressful but I believe Lykai made it fun. Not only is she sweet, she has creative ideas that you would never think of. Best wedding planner ever.

Great for Indian or Destination weddings

LyKai is amazing! We had a destination blended wedding (Indian and Western), and she was so knowledgeable and helpful, both in the planning lead up and especially on the day of! She handled any and all vendor issues quickly and discretely, and made sure we felt supported and at ease the entire day! Our guests were so impressed with our wedding, thanks in no small part to the efforts of her entire team - we couldn’t recommend Moments Remembered more!

Dream Wedding with an All-Star Coordinator

Lykai is the wedding the planner you need to have your team. Our wedding theme was definitely not easy to work with which essentially was a multi-cultural carnival to represent our diverse ethnic backgrounds. She has incredible creativity and vision. She is an absolute professional and pays attention to details that most couples including ourselves would never had caught. She worked closely with our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. The day of the wedding was a complete breeze and we truly enjoyed every minute. Her prices for services are VERY reasonable for what she does and provides to your wedding planning. We paid for her "partial planning + day of wedding coordination" service in which she was available via email + phone. We already had our main vendors we needed help with design, decor, details, and of course day of wedding coordination. She went above and beyond for us and would recommend her for any big events.
