We hired To Be Loved Events with only about 2 months to go before our big day. We could not have been more pleased! Samantha made our day seem effortless even with all of our last minute preparations. On the day of our wedding, Samantha and her team arrived earlier than expected and took our vision of what we wanted on each table and made it even better than we had envisioned. Her team was attentive and and made it so that we could actually enjoy our special day! I would be happy to recommend them to anyone getting married!

Samantha Kin with To Be Loved is a rockstar wedding planner. She helped me plan my 50 person intimate beach wedding in Santa Monica while I live in Texas. If you’re looking for a reliable, organized, professional event planner Samantha is your girl.

My friend just got married this past week (I was the matron of honor!) and I communicated with Samantha since early on in the planning process. Samantha was eager and excited to take on the wedding from the first moment, and always made sure the bride was up to date with all the necessary to-do’s and met her planning deadlines. Samantha is extremely organized and her skills made everything fall neatly into place- any detail we may have forgotten or overlooked, Samantha was sure to remind us! Samantha gifted my friend with the sweetest items (my friend received a welcome packed with the most beautiful custom made hanger, and at her bridal shower she gifted her with beautiful champagne flutes, among many other things!). When it came to the wedding day, Samantha worked extremely hard the week of to make sure the day happened flawlessly! I know there were a few hiccups here and there but you would never know it because Samantha handled them professionally and gracefully! Every single guest cannot stop commenting about how beautiful the wedding was and how amazing Samantha and her team was (thank you Jessica and Sami!) All in all the wedding day was one of the most beautiful and smooth weddings I have ever seen (I am a wedding vendor myself and I have been to tons of weddings!) and I have no one else to thank but Samantha! She is gifted at what she does and knows her stuff! Thank you Samantha for making sure this was the most amazing day for us and also for becoming such a dear friend to us!

Samantha was INCREDIBLE. Seriously we kept saying throughout the entire wedding planning process what a blessing she was. She organized, detail oriented, knowledgeable, has great style, but most importantly is the only person we would trust with our big day. Our wedding had quite a bit of moving pieces, from numerous vendors to manage to last minute changes leading up to the wedding, all this while planning a wedding during the time of Covid. Samantha helped calm our nerves knowing she had it all under control. The day of the wedding went more smoothly than we could have ever imagined. Samantha and her team were a pure joy to work with. From big details to small, Samantha had it covered. She even made sure our drinks never ran dry and was the first one to share iPhone photos with us the next day. If you are looking for a planner I simply can’t recommend Samantha enough. Thank you for making our big day a dream come true!!!!

I am a wedding photographer and have had the pleasure of working with Samantha on many occasions. Her passion for weddings and attention to detail are extraordinary! You can tell that she truly loves what she does and that she has a servant's heart. She is kind, organized, skilled and well prepared for anything. She is also a visionary. She has an eye for design and her designs are truly stunning. She works with her couples to help their visions come to life in the most elegant and beautiful way! Sam is your girl if you want an effortless experience, a true professional on your side and a stunning wedding that you and your guests will never forget.

From the start of your initial conversation to your very big day, in everything she does, Samantha puts her heart and soul into it. She makes sure you feel like your day isn't just yours and you're never alone through the process. She gives the best advice, is always a resource, and utilizes her experience and connections to make your dreams a reality. No detail is forgotten through out the process and you and your vendors feel confident going into the big day. She makes sure what is most important to you is accomplished and you can truly enjoy your big day. My husband and I could not recommend her more and know for a fact our day wouldn't have gone as wonderful as it did without her. The BEST and ONLY decision you need to make for your wedding is going with To Be Loved Events, everything else will fall into place I assure you.

Samantha with To Be Loved events is hands down the best wedding coordinator in all of Los Angeles!!! My venue (Los Robles Greens) required us to use a wedding coordinator and provided us with a few in the area. After speaking to Sam, I knew she was my person. Her attention to detail, communication style and amazing talent is just what I was looking for in someone to help plan our wedding. I work full time with a pretty busy schedule and Sam was always able to accommodate our schedule when we needed to meet with her for our monthly check ins. At all of our check ins Sam always made sure both myself and my fiancé were on the same page and everything was staying on track with our timeline. Even though we only had a partial planning package, it felt like a full planning package with how attentive Sam was throughout the entire planning process. With my planning package I got to have Sam help us find 2 vendors (a life saver since she would present us with 3-4 vendors and do all the heavy communication until we met with them for the first time!) Sam helped us find our photographer (perks of having connections is you know who the talented vendors are and can hook your couples us with people you love working with, which Sam did with XO&Fetti!!) and our florals. For our florals vendor Sam knew we wanted to save as much money as we could so she did tons of research and found us the best silk floral company in the industry (Something Borrowed Blooms). Because of Sam’s research we were able to save over $1,000 on florals and put that money towards something else in our budget. Throughout all of our planning process Sam would present us with digital mock ups for what our layout and décor would look like. And let me tell you this girl is SUPER talented in this department and I was shocked and giggly with excitement to see all our mock ups come to life on our wedding day just like she designed digitally. Leading up to our wedding day Sam and her team worked hard to make sure all our vendors knew all the tiny details and answered all of their questions. She would join in on all our final details meetings and help us when we didn’t know what to ask or how to answer a vendor question. On our wedding day Sam and her entire team helped to make sure our day went as smooth as it could. Sam even untied and retired all of our napkins to make sure the knot style we wanted was perfect for our guests (we had about 100 people so a lot of napkin magic Sam did). And let me tell you, having a STRESS-FREE wedding with almost little to no hiccups was exactly how my day went all thanks to To Be Loved Events entire team!!! My fiancé and I are both thrilled to be married, but also sad since now we won’t get to work with Sam anymore. We cannot thank Sam and her team enough for helping us throughout our entire planning process. In the beginning of our planning process Sam told me to think of your wedding planner as a gift to yourself. I am going to pass along this advice to all future couples and if you are on the fence to hire a wedding coordinator or not, do it. Best gift you can give yourself and fiancé on your wedding day is to have To be Loved Events as your coordinator!!! My fiancé and I love Sam and are so thankful for all her work helping us tie the knot in September.

Samantha was the perfect planner for our micro-wedding. She was responsive from the day we booked her, reasonably priced, took all stress off of us, and made sure to provide us a detailed itinerary of the day (including arrival and departure times of all vendors and equipment). She provided great vendor recommendations and checked in with us even when we didn't ask! Finally, she picked up In-N-Out for our whole wedding party. Not one thing was late or below expectations. Couldn't recommend her enough!!

Thank you, Samantha, for planning and executing the dreamiest proposal picnic for us! My fiancé got to work with Samantha to plan our beautiful proposal, and everything was beyond lovely. The details on the table, down to the surrounding candle, floral and pillow decor were beautiful. She even worked with finding an amazing photographer to capture the moment, the details of our experience, and to even take photos of us afterward. Samantha's eye for design is spot on, and she really knows how to bring your dreams to life. I am so lucky to have her by our side for our upcoming wedding this year, and I can't wait to see her dreamy magic come to life again!
Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a beautiful set up at the beach! Can't wait to do this again with you, Samantha!!

Sammi is a LIFE SAVER! I literally could not have planned, nor executed my wedding without her careful guidance and attention to detail. Any time I texted/called/emailed Sammi was on it immediately and she managed any crisis that arose (we got married during a global pandemic, so you can only imagine!!) with grace and composure. I could not recommend Sammi any more highly! You will not regret hiring here for your wedding; in fact, with each day that passes you'll thank her more for being your right hand woman!!
