Flawless wedding coordination
I honestly don’t have words to describe the wedding Sanya coordinated for us. It was truly a masterpiece. I will admit to having been a pretty involved bride and spending wayyyy too much time on Instagram. Nevertheless, no idea was ever too over the top or detailed. She honestly pulled off our dream wedding down to every last detail above and beyond all of my wildest over the top Instagram dreams. She built out custom platforms and pergolas for us, coordinated with my favorite restaurant so that they could cater and cook everything fresh on site and they let us bring all the decor that I spent a year collecting. I cannot wait to see our wedding pictures! There wasn’t a single picture Iv gotten thus far that I haven't been absolutely in love with! So much of that has to do with the amazing attention to every single detail. My husband and I both work 80+ hours a week so there was no way we could have coordinated everything without Sanya. The entire wedding weekend was a dream and she made it so stress free which at the end of the day is what matters. She thought of every detail down to having staff dedicated to bringing us food and drinks during cocktail hour. We had booked a gelato cart and the vendor cancelled the day before. Without even saying anything to me, Sanya was able to find a replacement in time which was above and beyond. Precovid, our wedding was supposed to be in the amalfi coast but like so many couples, our plans changed. I can honestly say, it was for the best! It was hands down the most incredible wedding we could have dreamed of and I’m so happy we decided on villa como instead. I do not think that anything could have ever compared to our wedding on 12/10/22 at Villa Como. We want to say thank you again to Sanya, all the staff at VIP events and to the owners of Villa Como for sharing their home with us for a day and giving us the most perfect and special night of our lives.

Wedding Savers
my sweet wedding savers,
I don’t even know where to begin — you truly worked your magic and saved our wedding! From the moment we connected, you brought such warmth, calm, and joy into the planning process, and somehow turned a whirlwind into the most beautiful, love-filled celebration we could’ve ever imagined.
Your energy, your vibe, your presence — it was everything. You made me feel so supported and grounded, and honestly, just being around you made me feel better. I could actually enjoy the day because I knew you had everything under control. And you did it all with such grace and positivity that it felt like we were surrounded by friends, not just planners.
Sanya & Amanda! thank you for making me feel beautiful inside and out. My husband and I were blown away by how smooth and joyful everything felt, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how fun and full of love the day was. That’s all you.
Our wedding day was the best day of our lives, and you’ll always be part of that memory. Thank you for being our dream team, our calm in the storm, and our magic-makers. We’re endlessly grateful.

All my wedding dreams came true and more :)
We are beyond grateful for Amanda and the entire VIP team! From start to finish, they were everything we could have hoped for in a planning team, warm, professional, and always available to talk through even the smallest details. Amanda went above and beyond to make sure our vision came to life, and her attention to detail was incredible.
On the wedding day, I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Every element was flawlessly handled, which allowed me to be completely present and soak in every moment. It truly felt like magic watching everything unfold so seamlessly.
If you’re looking for a planner who will not only bring expertise and organization but also genuine care and support, I couldn’t recommend Amanda and VIP more highly. They made the entire experience joyful and stress-free. We feel so lucky to have had them by our side!

A Dream Wedding Brought to Life by VIP Mansions
We recently celebrated our daughter’s wedding at the breathtaking Villa Coma Mansion in Laguna Beach, and thanks to Amanda and Sonya from VIP Masons, it was everything she dreamed of — and more.
Our daughter has been envisioning a Laguna Beach wedding since she was a little girl. She’s extremely detail-oriented and had a very specific vision for her big day. Amanda and Sonya not only respected that vision, but embraced it fully, bringing it to life with care, creativity, and professionalism.
From our first meeting, communication with VIP Masons was excellent. They were responsive, organized, and completely on top of every detail. Amanda led the rehearsal with grace and precision, making sure everyone was confident and comfortable before the big day. That level of preparation truly made a difference.
It was a truly magical day—every detail our daughter had dreamed of was beautifully brought to life, creating a celebration that flowed effortlessly from start to finish.. The venue was stunning, the décor was elegant and personalized, and the food and catering were outstanding — our guests are still talking about it!
What really stood out to us was the personal touch Amanda brought to the entire experience. She cared deeply about making the day special not just for our daughter and her new husband, but for our entire family.
If you want a planning team that’s talented, thoughtful, and truly committed to making your event unforgettable, we wholeheartedly recommend VIP Mansions.

Perfect Wedding with the Perfect Team!!!
Where to begin with this amazing group... My husband and I had the wedding of our dreams in the heavenly Villa Como Estate this past year. After searching for venues that did not match the vision I had for our wedding, I almost gave up on the whole idea. But then we made a trip to Villa Como and met the one who made it all happen, Amanda. From the moment we met Amanda for our first tour, we walked out knowing - okay this is the venue and this is her who will make it happen. We already had a sense of trust & ease and were blown away at her genuine kindness and personable demeanor. Not only is she amazing at what she does, she is so friendly and easy going. She is the best wedding coordinator anyone can ask for, not one detail was missed throughout the entire process. We met Sanya and Sophia later on in the process, and we just thought - can this team get any nicer?! VIP Weddings and Events is truly the most professional, kindest, hard working, and accommodating service we were so lucky to have had for our wedding. They even made sure to take care of my disabled father the day of making sure everything was seamless, stress-free and to the exact vision I had. All our guests raved about the service, venue, and decor to this day. Communication was excellent throughout the whole team and made the wedding process so calm and enjoyable. Our wedding vision truly would not have been carried out had it not been for this wonderful respectful team. I also want to address the vendors who were just as amazing - Tustin Florist, Lotus Events, Jason's Catering, DJ Julian, Pacific Patisserie, and Security Team - all vendors that work with VIP. (sorry if I missed anyone). Best decision was going with VIP Events and Weddings. They really took care of us and both our families, and it was honestly the best night of my life. Everything was so beautiful and enjoyable, and the venue is just breathtaking. Truly wonderful group and recommend 10/10.

Venue & Planner of our Dreams
I've tried writing this review many times but I've struggled to put into words just how perfectly Amanda from VIP executed all of the details of our wedding at Villa Como. It exceeded our expectations beyond belief.
I'll start with the venue...If you're looking for a combination of Italy, Laguna Beach, ocean views, and an elegant dinner party vibe, then Villa Como is the venue for you. The moment my husband and I stepped foot into Villa Como we immediately knew it was the perfect venue and could not stop talking about it. Not only is the property absolutely stunning, but you get panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and it feels like you're above the clouds. We loved that we had privacy (super important for us) and could host all parts of the night in one location - ceremony on the grass, cocktail hour by the pool, dinner on the upper level, and dancing under the stars. I think this estate may be the most beautiful place in Laguna Beach.
As for Amanda and VIP - they are the best people you could ever work with. After the wedding, my husband and I actually felt sad that we wouldn't be communicating with Amanda on a regular basis anymore. She made us feel so calm and taken care of not only leading up to the wedding, but also day of, which is incredibly important. All of the VIP vendors were amazing to work with as well, and it was SO NICE not having to source every single vendor ourselves. Knowing that we had a reputable florist, bakery, catering, and DJ took such a weight off our shoulders. Day of, I had a dress emergency where blue ink was left on my dress from alterations, and Amanda handled it all so calmly, remained poised, and even had one of her staff members run out to get some chalk or whiteout to cover it up. You are truly so taken care of every step of the way. Our wedding was in July and our guests haven't stopped raving about how perfect it was. A beautiful venue, amazing view, and every last detail accounted for. We can't emphasize enough how much we recommend Amanda & VIP. Hiring them is one of the best decisions we made!
I've attached photos that guests and our photographer (@karinasantosphoto) took!

The must have team
Can not recommend Amanda and her team enough! Taking the craziness out of wedding planning VIP Events & Weddings makes you feel at ease with lists, recommendations, venue tours, and meetings/reminders. That was just the planning and organizing before hand! If there was something that needed customizing or tweaking Amanda our planner/coordinator was on it. Really making sure that even though they had options it was our call on how we wanted to do things. When it came time for our special day, we knew we were in good hands, and they delivered. Really taking it up an extra notch, the whole team was on top of it, allowing us to focus on the special moment and enjoy the wedding. Amanda’s professionalism and expertise is someone you need in your corner. If you’re still undecided remember this is one and done, and you want to get it right, this is your girl and this is your team. Thank you VIP Events & Weddings it would not have been the same without you all. We would choose you every time!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
