Consider This Wedding Coordinated!

Reva and her team are simply the best. I can't say enough about how good they were and how special of a day they made our wedding.

My wife and I came in not really sure what to expect from a wedding coordinator, but were by the end of the big day we were blown away by the attention to detail, professionalism and level of service Reva and her team provided. Throughout the entire process we knew we were in good hands. After meeting Reva for the first time in person, she made us feel important and always had tips and ideas for us along the way to help us out with the wedding. I am particularly picky with design details, so she was always happy to help me out with her personal opinion on the subjects. Honestly, we walked away making a new friend!

As a plus Reva was even able to help us out with the most beautiful florals for our tables and centerpieces. We were in panic-mode coming into the final weeks of the wedding trying to put together table center-pieces, but Reva and her Mother were able to take that off of our shoulders and again blew away our expectations with super lush and tropical centerpieces for all of our tables.

Reva and her team even put together a short video on social of our wedding a week or so after the day that made it feel super special!

If you are looking for a wedding coordinator, then look no further, Reva and her team are for you! If we did it all over again, We would again hire Reva!

Thank you Reva Event for helping create the best day of our lives!

Rave Review for Reva!

Booking with Reva was the best decision we made for our wedding day. If you’re thinking about booking with her team, don’t hesitate - just do it! From the very beginning, Reva and her team proved to be more than just day-of coordinators. Kaiah and Reva took the time to meet with me multiple times before the wedding, ensuring that every detail of our special day was discussed and planned. I was also really impressed with their incredible eye for design. Entrusting them with final details like the location of the Welcome Sign and Seating Chart, and which candles should go where was a decision that paid off immensely. The visual appeal they added to our wedding was beyond our expectations. When a last-minute hiccup occurred – realizing just 5 minutes before the ceremony that I had forgotten the remote controller for my neon sign – Reva sent someone to my house to retrieve it in time for the reception! She really saved the day. Another thing that sets Reva apart from other coordinators is her unique offering of rental items at discounted prices, coupled with her negotiation skills on our behalf for additional rentals, saved us both time and money. What sets Reva apart even further is the lasting impression she leaves. I've been a bridesmaid in many weddings, but never have I experienced a wedding where the entire bridal party and parents were raving about the wedding coordination the next day. Whether it was somehow getting one of the ushers an extra boutonniere last minute or bustling my dress in

Reva Event = Heaven Sent

If you're in any doubt about hiring a wedding planning team or day of coordinator just book Reva. now. I felt like if there was one thing worth spending money on for my wedding it was have a reassuring and organized coordinator. Kaiah was heaven sent. I interviewed 2 other companies but knew I wanted Kaiah's calm and peaceful energy around me and my wedding party. Wedding's are so hectic and overwhelming that I needed someone very detail oriented who I could trust with execution. She never pressured me on decisions, and even offered very helpful and wise options for me to choose from when I was in doubt. Sonny the 2nd assistant on the day of was also helpful. He and Kaiah kept checking in on me and Cory offering to be our extra hands and feet, saving us from getting caught up in the chaos. Like I said before, you really get what you're paying for. Even though I needed day of coordinator services, I was communicating with Kaiah a few months before which eased my nerves. Also shoutout to women/POC businesses as I am also a woman of color and wanted to give my business to my own. Lastly, they are a destination based service company. I live in the 562/Cerritos and Reva is from San Diego, but they will follow you anywhere, around the world. Trust me, they listen to you and will write down all details down to a T. Book them, now. We love you.

Day of coordinator

Kaiah was absolutely amazing to work with! I didn’t expect to get as much help as I did with only getting a day of coordinator. She helped contact vendors for me, went over the timeline multiple times with me and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted it- all the details!
Kaiah and Reva on wedding day were angels! Always making sure we were ok/checking in on us throughout the whole night, I don’t know how I would have done it without them. 10/10 highly recommend!!! Thank you so much!!

The best of the best

THE BEST OF THE BEST! Kaiah & Reva made our special day so magical and dreamy. It was everything and more than we could've imagined it to be. Kaiah was attentive, thorough, and so quick to respond! She made the planning process so seamless. On the day of the wedding, Kaiah and Reva made sure that everything went as smoothly as possible. And they sure delivered it! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. THANK YOU SO MUCH again!

10/10 Wedding Experience!

Only 5 stars? I would give Reva and her team 10 stars if I could.

Reva had been working with me all year leading up to my wedding this September. She was available at all times when I had questions via text (or call or email, whatever I preferred), while also scheduling bi-weekly (sometimes even weekly) calls with me where she would walk me through the entire process of what was needed from me to prepare for the wedding, while also taking on most of all the tasks herself. Reva and a team member even attended our Welcome Party the day before the wedding, which was not at all necessary since she is only technically hired to plan the wedding, not the other events around the wedding. She was there from start to finish of our wedding weekend.

Reva went above and beyond my expectations. I didn't lift a finger on my wedding day, Reva and her team calmly and collectively handled all day-of issues with only asking me necessary questions to ensure I was happy with the result of the day. Reva had a way of being extremely professional, while also feeling like you are planning your wedding with a good friend. She is a class act and I was SO happy I chose her as my wedding planner. It was worth every penny.

Reva and her team, thank you SO much for making my wedding everything I could have imagined!

Hawaii wedding of our dreams !

Reva and her team are Amazing and such beautiful, genuine caring people !

We got married on the island of Oahu at Moli’i Gardens in Kualoa ranch in August 2023 and for those that know… it takes a true professional to plan/coordinate Kualoa Ranch weddings since it’s so Ala Carte !

Before hiring Reva, we were very overwhelmed and didn’t know where to start, I was having trouble enjoying the journey of being a bride but as soon as we hired Reva Event that completely changed and I was able to fully enjoy, relax and take in the entire process! Their work ethic is truly unmatched.

From day one, they made being a bride such a special and beautiful experience. They got to know my husband and I and our story and Reva made it her mission to make sure our wedding was everything we ever dreamt of!

During the planning process & the day of the wedding everything was PERFECT.

Reva and her team are the definition of going above and beyond and caring about their clients- from designing our florals, referring us to a designer who was able to create a native Hawaiian cape for my husband ( this is almost impossible to get btw ,but not for Reva!!) , countless meetings to discuss our visions, dreams and story, to creating a extremely detailed list of vendors for us and adding on vendors when we needed & assisting with narrowing down choices , helping us with our guests , website, dinner menus , respecting our budget and being our BIGGEST HYPE team and supporters during the emotional process of getting married and SO much more during the planning process!

The execution and coordination of our wedding was perfect and beautiful. We didn’t have to worry about anything on our wedding day, Reva even gave my husband and I a glass of champagne right after the ceremony to enjoy ( she is so caring and detailed) and made sure our families were comfortable and well taken care of during the entire event-
Reva was so attentive during the wedding, she is good at catching cues & somehow knew when I was feeling thirsty or hungry ! She was right there to help me with anything :) right before the ceremony my hoop skirt string came out and she FIXED it for me.

We have received so many compliments from family and friends not only about our wedding but about Reva and her team & their professionalism and how stylish and clean cut they looked on the day of our wedding and I agree! Top NOTCH team. We are so happy we did fully wedding and coordination with them.

It’s been a month since our wedding and I still day dream about it everyday & strangely I get nostalgic thinking about not only the day of our wedding but those long meetings with so many laughs and dreams. Thank you Reva and Kaiah & the rest of the team for everything you did for us, you created memories that will last an entire lifetime and that’s PRICELESS

A dream is truly a wish your heart makes
Thank ❤️


Mahalo and our deepest Aloha,

The Peregil’s

The best experience ever!

Reva and her team truly made our wedding dreams come true! We appreciated her professionalism yet so personal attitude and work ethic. Our wedding turned out to be so spectacular and beautiful but still found us the best pricing possible on every vendor. We are ready to have another wedding on our 1 year anniversary because she made it so enjoyable to plan and experience. Thank you Reva, you are truly the best!

Amazing Day-Of Coordinator

Reva, Kaiah, and Beth absolutely crushed it for our summer wedding—everything couldn’t have gone smoother!

We hired Reva as a Day-Of Coordinator for a summer wedding at the LA Arboretum. From the beginning Reva was incredibly communicative and looking for ways to help, even months before the event. About a 1-2 months out Reva and her team stepped up to help us handle everything - Kaiah especially was so on top of it during this process. They helped us develop a day-of timeline, juggle vendors, and recommended an affordable, beautiful florist. They even found us a security person at the last minute.

Reva and her team were supremely detail oriented and prioritized listening to their clients and making their dream wedding happen. As someone who has trouble delegating and planned most of the wedding before we booked Reva’s services, they made me feel so at ease putting the day’s events in their hands. They ran our rehearsal, set up and tore down our decor, directed guests to their seats, managed the day’s schedule, and even brought us champagne and apps immediately after the ceremony. Reva even gave me a pair of socks for my reception Doc Martens when I forgot mine - a sign of a professional if I ever saw one!

For anyone looking for a wedding planner or day-of coordinator in Southern California, I couldn’t recommend Reva Event more!
