Absolutely Amazing! Made our dream wedding a reality

Working with Ashley and the entire Monge team was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. We initially had trouble finding a planner that could accommodate everything we were looking for but from the moment we met Ashley we knew right away that she was the planner for us!! From day one, she brought an incredible combination of professionalism, warmth, and creativity that instantly put us at ease. Every detail, big or small, was handled with such care and precision that it made us feel so valued and important! We never had a worry working with Monge Amore Events and when the big day came everything went off perfectly! Ashley is truly Wonder Woman when it comes to planning weddings!

What stood out most was their ability to stay calm and solution-oriented, no matter what came up. They anticipated needs before we even realized them, kept communication clear and consistent, and worked seamlessly with all our vendors. On the wedding day itself, everything flowed so smoothly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. Our wedding was honestly the best day of our lives and this is something that would not have been possible without Monge Amore Events

Highly Recommend Working with Taylor!

My now HUSBAND, Micheal and I had the most incredible wedding! And this could only be possible with selecting the right vendor team for us. From signing on with Taylor, to day of execution, she was organized, thorough and efficient. She provided detailed lists and materials for us to consider during our planning process. As a Type A bride her organization was so helpful and clear to help stay on track to wedding day. Her and her husband were such a great team and really helped bring our blended version of classic meets edgy to life! If there were any hiccups that day, I surely didn't know about it, and that is such a testament to her level of professionalism and how the day was handled. Do not skip out on a planner, it is such a relief to entrust a special day with a qualified and professional team. Highly recommend Monge Amore Events for your planning services!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mikala at MAE is the BEST wedding coordinator anyone could ask for!

Mikala is incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and truly handles everything from start to finish. I never once worried about things slipping through the cracks because she was always ten steps ahead. At some point, I stopped stressing about the to-do list and just looked to Mikala for what came next because she always knew exactly what needed to happen. Her experience and knowledge were invaluable. Anytime we had an idea or vision, she worked with us to make it happen in the best and most seamless way possible.

Mikala is also so warm and approachable, which made it easy to ask her all our questions (even the dumb ones). It always felt like chatting with a friend instead of a vendor, which made the entire process so much less stressful. Communication was flawless. She replied quickly to emails and texts and was always happy to hop on a call when needed.

On the wedding day, Mikala was the absolute MVP. Every last-minute issue was met with her calm "don't worry, I've got this," and she truly did. She and her team had everything handled so perfectly that we didn't have to lift a finger. We got to enjoy every second of our wedding and literally ride off into the sunset (because they packed everything up for us at the end of the night!!). We will forever be grateful. So much love for Mikala! 💕

The perfect day!

Hiring Mikala Fox with Monge Amore Events was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From start to finish, she was nothing short of exceptional. Mikala is the kind of planner who makes everything look effortless, even though you know she’s working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure every detail is absolutely perfect.

She kept us perfectly on schedule, coordinated seamlessly with all of our vendors, and somehow managed to anticipate every need before we even realized it ourselves. Thanks to her organization, calm demeanor, and expertise, our entire day flowed beautifully without a single hiccup. We were able to be fully present and soak in every moment because we knew Mikala had everything handled.

What truly sets Monge Amore Events apart is their heart. Mikala and her team care deeply about their couples and it shows in every thoughtful touch. From the timeline prep to the way they transform a vision into a flawlessly executed celebration.

A Literal Stress-Free Wedding!

Working with MAE was absolutely magical!! We were lucky enough to have Taylor work with us as our wedding coordinator. Taylor made those last bits of wedding planning so stress free. She was the ‘Type A’ queen that every bride needs. She seamlessly communicated and worked with all of our other vendors, so it took such a weight off of our shoulders. Taylor met with us whenever we needed her and helped us with basically any question we had about planning our wedding. Something we really loved about MAE was also that they often work closely with so many popular venues in Southern California. Our wedding venue had worked with MAE so many times, which was amazing for so many reasons. We felt like we were in the best hands from start to finish. Taylor and her team set up ALL of our wedding decor as well on the day of. I curated tons of decor (between lamps, signage, staging props, etc) so I was always a little worried that we’d probably need to send a bridesmaid or groomsman to help set up, but Taylor and her team handled everything perfectly and precisely. We are still so grateful for Taylor and the entire MAE team and how they truly were a huge reason why our day was absolutely perfect. I had always tempered expectations for our actual wedding day, because it’s natural that some things will go differently than you expected - However, we literally had a perfect day. My husband and I have only beautiful memories from our wedding day and I cannot believe how lucky we are to be able to say that.

Best Day with the Best Team

Mikala at MAE was an absolute joy to work with! She is professional, kind, and such a fun presence to have on your wedding day. Mikala and her team made sure everything ran seamlessly and allowed me to truly enjoy every moment without stress. If anything wasn’t perfect, I’ll never know, because they handled it before it even reached me. It is so worth it to have professionals running the day while you simply get to enjoy it. Thanks to them, my wedding day was everything I dreamed of and more. I cannot recommend MAE enough, my day wouldn’t have been possible without them!

Working with Taylor

We had the pleasure of working with Taylor on 1/25/25 and are so grateful for her expertise. From the moment we met with her, I felt the stress and pressure of the wedding day melt away. I (the bride) was most stressed with how to plan the logistics for the day of and Taylor handled it with clear communication and support and from that day I knew we were going to be well taken care of. On the day of, Taylor went above and beyond to help us enjoy our day and truly thought about the small details - like saving some appetizers for the bride and groom so we wouldn't go hungry ;) She also handled a change in the speech schedule, and the addition of an extra guest with so much grace that the guests did not notice anything - which in turn helped us stay calm. We are beyond grateful for Taylor's work and professionalism and if you want peace of mind on your wedding day, I cannot recommend M.A.E and Taylor enough!

Taylor is the BEST! 10/10

We had the pleasure of working with Taylor as our wedding coordinator. She was amazing to work with for so many reasons. She is organized, knowledgeable, communicative, and made things easy. Although she was technically our day-of wedding coordinator, she was extremely helpful throughout the wedding planning process. Taylor is a true professional and I am certain our wedding day would not have been perfect without her involvement and expertise. Thank you for everything Taylor!

Best Team To Have On Your Wedding Day

Ashley, thank you to you and your team for your professionalism, warmth, patience, and great advice throughout this entire process. Thank you for making the time to meet with us, whether it be in person, online, or over the phone. You made such a great impact on our special day. We cannot thank you and Julia enough for your incredible work as our day-of-wedding coordinators! From the very beginning, you both were so kind, patient, and ensured every detail was taken care of.

The MAE team made sure that Eric and I were well-fed and always had a drink in our hands, which allowed us to fully enjoy our special day. Our wedding was nothing short of perfection, and we know it was largely due to the amazing behind-the-scenes efforts of the Monge Amore Events team. Your hard work and dedication truly made a difference, and your passion for what you do shines through in every interaction and detail. Thank you for making our day so memorable!
We love Monge Amore Events!

Taylor is the Ultimate Pro!!

When my wife and I got married in October of 2024, we knew having the perfect Wedding Coordinator was absolutely one of the most important choices we would make. After interviewing several people, we knew immediately that Taylor would be a perfect fit for us-and we are thrilled to say that we were right! Taylor is extremely professional, caring, prompt and tough when needed! She organized everything beautifully, had great recommendations, and kept us informed every step of the way. Needless to say, our wedding went off without a hitch. Thank you Taylor and M.A.E.!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
