Simply amazing!

Where do I even begin!? And what can I really say about The Elegant Ninja, Berlanti, and her team!!! I was first introduced to Berlanti, seven years ago. My first daughter and I met her and her team in 2016. We were convinced Berlanti and her team were the perfect wedding planners for our oldest daughter’s wedding! Berlanti took a blank space (riding rink on a 2 acre property) and transformed the space into the most beautiful wedding venue. I must say her vision went beyond our expectations. She planned everything perfectly and the wedding went without a hitch!
Years later, our youngest daughter got married in 2024 and her wedding was truly magical, thanks to the dream team, The Elegant Ninja, Berlanti, and her team! From the initial planning to the wedding day, Berlanti and her team reassured us everything would be okay and not to worry…’we will take care of everything’ and boy did they!!
One of the challenges we were faced with was the unpredictable weather, daily changes in the dessert, from wind to rain to cold temperatures. Berlanti took the bull by the horn and planned the most amazing, magical option setting for the wedding. Words cannot describe how beautiful it was. Our wedding guests were in ‘ahhh’ of the setting. They prepared for any possible obstacle. The Elegant Ninja, Berlanti, and her team can conquer the world and we are so happy, grateful and so appreciate all their hard work and we are just overjoyed they were part of my daughters most beautiful, magical weddings. I, without a doubt, recommend the best wedding planner in the world, The Elegant Ninja and her team.

Dream Team for a Magical Event!

I could not be more thrilled with the unparalleled professionalism, attention to detail, organization, and taste of Elegant Ninja. Berlanti and Taleena executed my dream wedding at the Beverly Hills Hotel to perfection and through their attentiveness allowed my husband and me along with our families to enjoy the day to the fullest while feeling stress free. Their vision was flawless and everything from the garden ceremony space to beautiful ballroom was everything I could have asked for and more - Berlanti really worked with me to get to the heart of the classic, timeless vision I had and truly brought it life. Berlanti and Taleena also created small special moments throughout the day that my husband and I look back on as some of our favorites from the wedding, from the ballroom reveal to our first private dance together while our guests enjoyed cocktail hour. Taleena was beyond attentive, and if we needed anything throughout the evening she was always there right behind us to make it happen.

One of the most complimented parts of our wedding was the timeline and flow of the day, and that is all due to the immense work that Berlanti and Taleena put into the event, and it felt effortless to our guests even though I know it was anything but! I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Incredible Planner - Highly Recommended!

I cannot praise Vai enough! We were in a state of panic after switching from another planner just four months before our wedding. Vai swooped in and turned our wedding into an absolute fairytale. Her level of dedication and professionalism were unmatched, and she effortlessly took charge of the situation, leaving no stone unturned. From the very first meeting, she put us at ease, assuring us that everything would be taken care of - and she delivered on that promise. We were blown away by how she seamlessly brought our vision to life, and the final result was beyond anything we could have imagined. Our guests were in awe, and we were left with unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime. Vai truly made our dreams come true, and we are forever grateful for her hard work and dedication. If you're looking for a wedding planner, go with Vai and the Elegant Ninja team!
