Best decision EVER!!

Hiring Taylor at M.A.E. was easily the best wedding decision we made!

From our very first conversation, Taylor was kind, direct, and clear about expectations, exactly what we were looking for. We wanted someone real, not overly bubbly or salesy, and we immediately connected with her honest and straightforward approach.

Not only did she have strong relationships with our vendors, but her experience and reputation within the wedding industry were evident from day one. Throughout the planning process, we constantly heard praise about her professionalism and the quality of her work. We were also able to receive vendor discounts through M.A.E., which was an added bonus and a testament to the trust, respect, and strong relationships Taylor has built throughout the industry.

As our wedding approached, Taylor was incredibly dialed in. She checked every box, kept us on track, and made sure every vendor aligned with our vision and budget.

Like any wedding, there were schedule changes and unexpected challenges, but Taylor handled every bit of the chaos seamlessly. Because of her leadership and coordination, our wedding never skipped a beat. In fact, thanks to Taylor and her team, our wedding was even better than we could have dreamed.

What truly sets Taylor apart is her ability to make decisions confidently, communicate clearly, and take action quickly. She is someone you can completely trust to take care of you on your wedding day. I know she managed countless moving pieces, last minute changes, and behind-the-scenes mishaps, but she handled everything so swiftly and gracefully that we never even noticed. Because of that, I was able to be fully present, relaxed, and truly enjoy every moment of our wedding day, which is one of the greatest gifts a planner can give a bride.

Taylor is incredibly sweet, and you can tell her work comes from the heart. She not only excels at what she does, she genuinely loves it, and that passion shines through in every detail.

Our wedding was truly the best day of our lives, and it would not have been the same without Taylor and the M.A.E. team. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is experienced, professional, trustworthy, kind, and exceptionally organized, Taylor is your girl.

We cannot recommend Taylor & MAE highly enough. They helped bring our dream wedding to life, and we will be forever grateful🙌🤍

Exceptional Coordinator for a once in a lifetime event

If you’re looking for an event coordinator who is organized, creative, patient, and genuinely cares about making your vision come to life, I cannot recommend Taylor from Monge Amor Events enough.
Our family hired Taylor to coordinate my grandfather’s 100th birthday celebration at the Grand Gimeno in Orange, CA. She helped us pull together a very elaborate event in an incredibly short amount of time. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to source decor and rentals, coordinate all of the moving pieces, and ensure every detail reflected the vision we had for such a special milestone.
To make things even more challenging, our family was constantly changing the guest count, adding new ideas, and making last minute adjustments throughout the planning process. Despite all of the changes, Taylor remained incredibly patient, accommodating, and providing solutions. She never made us feel like we were asking too much and always found a way to make everything happen.
On the day of the event, she kept us on schedule, managed everything seamlessly behind the scenes, and created a beautiful setup that exceeded our expectations. Because of Taylor and her amazing team, our family was able to truly enjoy celebrating my grandfather instead of worrying about the logistics.
We are so grateful for everything Taylor and Monge Amor Events did to make such an important day unforgettable. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional event planner and coordinator.

Amazing Team to Work With!!

Working with Mikala as our wedding coordinator was truly one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire wedding process. At first, I was a little skeptical about hiring a coordinator because I thought I could probably handle everything myself, but Mikala made the entire experience so much easier and smoother from start to finish.

She was always there to answer any questions we had at any time, no matter how big or small. Throughout the planning process, she made sure we felt supported, organized, and most importantly, not stressed. On the day of the wedding, I was able to fully enjoy every moment because I knew everything was being handled so seamlessly behind the scenes.

One thing that really stood out to us was how thoughtful and attentive she was throughout the entire day. When we arrived at the reception, she already had appetizers and our favorite drinks waiting for us so we could actually take a moment to enjoy everything. Later in the night, we had a variety of ice cream sandwich flavors for dessert, and during one of our previous meetings, Mikala had asked what our favorite flavors were. While we were out on the dance floor enjoying the night, she personally brought us our favorite ice cream sandwiches without us even having to think about it. It was such a small but meaningful gesture that showed how much she truly cared about making our experience special.

Mikala went above and beyond to make our day perfect, and I truly can’t imagine going through the process without her. If you’re debating whether or not to hire a wedding coordinator, do it — and hire Mikala from MAE! You will not regret it!

M.A.E. is Exceptional!

Recently collaborated with Mikala Fox from M.A.E. and she absolutely rocked the event! As a Professional Wedding Officiant, I cross paths with a lot of planners & coordinators, and right away Mikala proved to be one of the best. So organized, so friendly, so dialed in to the details, in-tune with the couple and also ... so chill! You want a coordinator that takes all the pressure off so that you can enjoy being present at your event, and that's exactly what she did. Mikala and Monge Amore are exceptional. Why are you even still reading this - have you booked your event with them yet??

Mikala is truly the best!!

Mikala was our day of coordinator and truly an absolute angel! From our very first Zoom call, she was warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about weddings. We immediately knew she was the perfect fit! She went above and beyond every step of the way and made us feel like we were her top priority.
The timeline she created was seamless and kept everything running perfectly. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, I felt completely stress free because I trusted Mikala and her team so much. On the big day, everything flowed effortlessly, and it truly felt like magic, and that is all thanks to her.
We will always look back on our wedding as one of the best days of our lives, and Mikala played such a huge role in making that happen. We feel so lucky to have found her and Monge Amore Events. We cannot thank them enough for making our day absolutely perfect!

A dream experience!!!!

From the moment I had my first meeting with Mikala at Monge Amore Events it was absolutely love at first sight. We instantly clicked. She made me feel at ease and heard. I had a list of questions for her and she answered them all before I had a chance to even ask them. She is so sweet, so knowledgeable and proactive. Leading up to my wedding, I had zero stress. And that’s all thanks to her and her incredible team. The day of my wedding went amazing. I wasn’t made aware of any issues and I’m sure there was at least one. Because Mikala and her two assistants Regina and Julia absolutely took over. The timeline was flawless, I was able to have the time of my life with not a care in the world. They all take their role extremely serious and will be sure to make your day a dream. There are not enough words for the impact they all had on me. I got so many compliments on how organized the day felt. I can’t rave enough about this group of ladies!!!! You will not go wrong going with Monge Amore Events. Please please please trust me.

Seamless planning and a beautiful wedding day!

Working with Taylor was truly one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. From the very beginning, she took the time to really get to know us and understand our vision, which made everything feel incredibly personal and intentional.

Throughout planning, Taylor was extremely organized and on top of every detail. She seamlessly handled communication and coordination with all of our vendors, ensuring everything was aligned—from insurance and timelines to setup and rehearsals. We were especially grateful for her familiarity with our venue, which gave us so much confidence going into the big day.

Because of scheduling constraints, I wasn’t able to be involved in any of the setup, so I had to fully trust Taylor to bring everything to life—and she exceeded every expectation. Everything was executed exactly as I had envisioned, down to the smallest details.

Our wedding day felt absolutely perfect and ran so smoothly. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing, which allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. We received so many compliments from our guests, and we truly credit Taylor for making it all happen.

We are so grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone who wants a seamless planning experience and a wedding day that feels effortless and beautifully executed. Thanks again, Taylor! :)

Mae = make all events amazing

Taylor surpassed any and all expectations! She was so knowledgeable, encouraging, real, and professional. She stepped in to help before I even knew I needed help throughout the wedding process. She took all of my Pinterest board dreams and made them a reality. I was so at peace throughout our wedding day because I knew Taylor and the girls at MAE could handle it all! I was sad when the wedding was over because I really felt like Taylor became my friend! She still supports me and checks in on me! 🥹🤍🤍

Mikala & Julie are the absolute BEST!!!!!

Mikala & Julia were seriously the best ever and such a lifesaver throughout the whole process. From start to finish, they were super organized, detail-oriented, and always on top of everything but in a way that never felt stressful or overwhelming.

They’re also just genuinely great people so funny, friendly, and easy to be around. They made the entire experience feel fun instead of chaotic, which meant so much to us.

On top of that, they handled all the crazy family dynamics and any little bumps along the way like absolute pros! They put certain family members in their place and put the Bride and Groom first. We didn’t have to worry about a thing because they were so reliable and always had everything under control. They made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day which was the absolute best and less stressful.

We felt totally supported the whole time, and because of them, we were actually able to relax and enjoy our wedding day. Couldn’t recommend them more. They are truly the real MVP's!!!!!! and we are forever grateful for them!😊❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
