Upon first zoom call my husband and I knew that Taylor from M.A.E would be wonderful to work with as our day of coordinator. She is kind, warm, and professional.
On wedding day, with the timeline that Taylor created and her ability to handle whatever came her way, I knew that I did not have to worry about anything other than experiencing the joy of marrying the love of my life and celebrating with our friends and family.
I knew all of the moving parts of the wedding day were safe in her hands.

I was lucky enough to be recommended Monge Amore Events, and it was BY FAR one of the greatest things that could have happened! After my first meeting with Taylor Toerien, I immediately knew I was hiring her. I had heard countless stories from people I know about negative experiences with wedding planners and coordinators, but after meeting Taylor, I had absolutely zero doubt that my experience would be anything like that. And I was right!

Monge Amore Events is truly amazing. They are incredibly detailed, thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely care about every little aspect of your wedding. Taylor specifically is a literal superwoman. During my planning process, she was pregnant, gave birth, and began raising a newborn, all while managing multiple clients but ALWAYS responding to my messages and making sure I was taken care of. To this day, I have no clue how many clients she even had because she made me feel like I was the only one, she has incredible time-management skills! And beyond how good she is at her job, Taylor genuinely felt like a sister and friend throughout the entire experience. I always wanted to hear her thoughts and opinions because I truly valued her input and trusted her judgment. And thank goodness I did because I hired some of her top recommended vendors and they were AMAZING, just like her.

I could go on forever about everything she did for me, but one last thing I have to mention is how incredible my actual wedding day was because of her. If you're planning a wedding and wondering if you can do it all yourself....dont.

The day after my wedding, I was bummed when I realized I didn't grab anything I would have liked to for keepsake purposes. But when I got home and started unpacking, I realized Taylor had packed up EVERYTHING from the reception and saved it all for me!! My menus, place cards, photo booth pictures, and all the little keepsakes I wanted for my scrapbook. I was too distracted to think to grab these things at the time, and I was soo relieved and happy she had done that for me. I was not surprised since she is a literal pro at what she does, but it was just the cherry on top of everything she has done for me. And really goes to show how important and useful having a planner is!

My wedding day was everything I could have dreamed of, and so much of that is because of Taylor and her team. Monge Amore Events is out here changing lives!! I truly couldn't recommend them more! Thank you for giving me something soo special to look back on for the rest of my life. Love you Taylor, I miss you already!!

I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience with M.A.E. Ashley and Mikala were absolutely incredible from start to finish and made our wedding experience so much easier and more enjoyable than I ever could have imagined.

Ashley was our wedding planner, and she was amazing at making sure we thought through every detail. She brought up things I never would have even known to consider, kept everything organized, and somehow always seemed to be one step ahead. She made the entire planning process feel manageable and never overwhelming, which was such a gift.

Mikala was our day-of coordinator, and she was just as incredible. On the wedding day, I genuinely felt like I could relax and enjoy myself because I knew she had everything under control. She handled all of the little details, kept everything moving smoothly, and made sure everything we'd worked so hard to plan actually came together perfectly. 

Together, Ashley and Mikala were the absolute dream team. They were professional, organized, attentive, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day special. Our wedding was everything we hoped it would be, and I know a huge part of that was because of them.

If you are considering hiring a wedding planner or day-of coordinator, I cannot recommend M.A.E. enough. They went above and beyond, thought of things we never would have thought of ourselves, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel easy and exciting. I am so incredibly grateful for everything they did for us and would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding!

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Mikala! She was our day-of coordinator, but her support began six months before our wedding, and I honestly cannot imagine planning our wedding without her. She was attentive, organized, and always available to answer my many questions and give the best advice. She kept us on track with reminders and check-ins and made the entire planning process feel so much easier!! She attended our venue meetings, made sure we understood everything, and asked questions we didn't even think to ask. The timeline she created for our wedding day was absolutely perfect. She kept everything running smoothly without ever making us feel rushed, and we were able to truly be present and enjoy every moment 🤍

On the wedding day, Mikala handled everything behind the scenes so we could simply enjoy our wedding. She was on top of every detail, even making sure our signature drinks and food were ready for us before cocktail hour so we could have a little moment together as husband and wife…I mean, the sweetest EVER!!! (,: Her two day-of assistants, Regina and Julia, were also incredible! The three of them were truly the dream team. Knowing we had such an amazing team taking care of everything allowed us to relax and enjoy our night without worrying about a thing.

Mikala is not only amazing at what she does, but she is also so kind, reassuring, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about her couples. Choosing Mikala and M.A.E. was hands down one of the best decisions we made. If you're considering a wedding planner, choose Mikala and M.A.E. - you absolutely will not regret it!! Mikala, thank you for making our wedding day absolutely perfect and taking such amazing care of us. We are forever grateful for you and will sing your praises forever! 🤍

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🙌🤍

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.

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!

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 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!

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.
