Stephanie Sent on 11/21/2021A MUST-HAVE to guarantee a PERFECT Wedding!
Dear future wedding couples currently reading my review...
If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who will SINCERELY care about your wedding, go above and beyond for you both, listen to you, has A+ communication every time, has vendors who you may still have trouble finding, and as the special cherry on top, is bilingual in both English AND Spanish... then please do yourselves a favor and RUN, don't walk, to Maricela!
Maricela has been a part of our wedding journey since 2019 and right from the start she is so incredibly easy to talk to, as well as kept constant communication about where we were on our wedding planning. Although our original wedding date was October 2020, Maricela was super understanding and accommodating when we decided to postpone and move our date to October 2021 due to the pandemic. She even sent us a bottle of wine to cheer us up after making the incredibly difficult decision to postpone. She's THE BEST and to this day it's such a memorable act on her part that she deserves all the love and recognition for going above and beyond when we only hired her as our month-of coordinator.
Maricela, alongside her amazing assistant Claudia, made our wedding dreams come TRUE at the Vibiana in Downtown Los Angeles! When we say that the day was absolutely PERFECTION because of them, we're not exaggerating because they set up a very smooth timeline for our wedding. Throughout the entire day, both my husband and I were completely stress-free and simply followed their directions as to where we needed to be and what time. Everything sincerely felt sooo smooth and we did not hear of any problems at any point throughout the day!
We also DID NOT have to worry at all about vendor logistics or anything to do with setup/tear down. Even when I started to worry about certain things, Maricela and Claudia immediately reassured me, kept the line of communication clear, and even helped solve a wardrobe malfunction for the Reception. There are simply not enough words to describe how grateful and fortunate we are to have chosen Maricela as our wedding coordinator.
Maricela and Claudia, if you're reading this, we just want to say THANK YOU! We hope to have more future events just to be able to work with you both again and also plan to recommend you to our family and friends as well. Keep up the AMAZING work!!! -

Yanira Sent on 07/26/2021Our Wedding Day was a DREAM!
Maricela Alicia was heaven sent, a true gem! BEST decision !
Despite planning during COVID-19 we she made the planning process less stressful.
Maricela helped us plan our DREAM WEDDING that took place June 5, 2021. From the minute I had a phone consultation with Maricela, I instantly knew I somehow had to convince my Fiancé (now husband) that we had to hire a wedding planner lol! I asked Maricela if we could meet prior to hiring her and she without hesitation agreed to a time and place. Once my husband met Maricela he knew we had to hire a true professional! Maricela truly listens to her clients wants and needs, she listened and executed our vision... our wedding was a complete dream! Maricela is extremely professional, responsive, and always has a great attitude. During such an uncertain time, Maricela always had a positive and optimistic attitude. She kept us grounded and always checked in to see how we were doing. She held our hand through the whole process, referred vendors ( who we were extremely happy with ) and best of all negotiated with our vendors on our behalf to keep us in budget! Our wedding day was perfect and ran seamlessly. We felt as we were guest at our own wedding! The wedding day was extremely stress free, all our family and guests kept raving about how beautiful and how smooth the day went. We know our day was perfect because of Maricela. We 1000000% recommend Maricela to anyone that is considering hiring her. We miss our daily check-ins , but can't wait to continue to work with her in our future events! -

Taylor Sent on 04/07/2020Mar is amazing!
We loved working with Mari for our wedding, she was our day of coordinator. She came to our rehearsal the evening before and helped with that and then helped ran our entire wedding day. She is the sweetest human and is amazing at what she does. I could not recommend her more. She was always available to chat with me about anything I needed. She coordinated my vendors and made our timeline so we knew everything would run smoothly. She also set up and broke down our reception decorations. She truly is the best and cares so deeply about her couples. -

Lorie Sent on 02/07/2020Best Planner !!
I've worked with Maricela [Alicia C. Creative] in several occasions and she's the best planner you could ever ask to have for your wedding or any event. Her attention to detail is fantastic and her kind personality makes things even better. She's full of life, a visionary, a listener and a friend. She'll make sure to execute your wedding and/or event to surpass any of your expectations. Maricela is a professional with years of knowledge and experience. Look no more and hire her! I promise you won't be disappointed. -

Katherine Sent on 07/04/2019Excellent customer service and professionalism
If you want responsiveness from your wedding planner, Alicia is your best bet! I was introduced to her by my wedding venue as she was one of the preferred vendors. When I contacted her, she emailed me within 24 hours with a response. She even was helping me out as I was trying to figure out my catering situation. Mind you, this was done even when I haven't hired her yet as my wedding planner. She was very informative and helpful in guiding me thoroughly. After awhile, I realized I was in over my head with wedding planning because I thought usually I am a planner and I know when and where things to be done. I hired Alicia knowing fully that I would be in great hands of handling our wedding. We met up 4 times throughout the 1.5 year process of planning and multiple emails back and forth. Fast forward, the wedding day is here!!! Let me just say her timeline was amazing and everything and all our vendors were on time. Also, I got so many compliments from our vendors and guests about how organized our wedding was and how things ran so smoothly. She is an amazing person and she is very sweet and nice. She is very easy to talk with and in the end of our wedding process we became friends. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a wedding planner who is efficient, sweet, organized, responsive, and foremost affordable.
She has many vendors she works with so if you need help with some vendors she is the person to ask. She helped me find my photographer, officiant, florist, and clean up crew for our venue. I would have to say my hardest vendor was the photographer because that is what lasts from a wedding and I will tell you I had the best photographer ever!
Alicia is someone that you will not regret hiring and she will do everything that she can to help your wedding planning go smoother and the day of the wedding you do not have to worry about anything but you as the couple. I didn't have to worry about anything the day of the wedding. My husband was so pleased with her because he had many doubts in hiring a wedding planner because he says I am a planner. I do plan parties and showers for my friends so ideally speaking he was like you can do our wedding. Little did he know how much detail goes into a wedding and there were many details that I would have not known by myself. He is so happy we hired Alicia and more so he was so happy because he knew I enjoyed the day of our wedding because I didn't have to worry about a thing because he knows I'm a worry wort too! As husband and wife, we are so happy to have had Alicia part of our happily ever after! -

Rachael Sent on 06/24/2019Best wedding coordinator ever!
We cannot say enough amazing things about Alicia C Creative (Maricela). We spent a ton of time looking for wedding coordinators and interviewed several prior to deciding on Maricela. We were first introduced to Maricela from a friend and when we first spoke with Maricela, we immediately knew we were in good hands.
Maricela was absolutely fabulous not only the day of the wedding, but also all during the wedding planning process. She was always so helpful to answer any questions we had in the months leading up to the wedding.
Our friends are getting married and the first thing we said was “You MUST hire Maricela for you wedding coordinator!” She became a great friend throughout the wedding planning process and totally respected and came through on exactly what we were looking for. We will continue to refer Maricela to anybody that gets married. Such a great coordinator! -

Christina Sent on 09/26/2018Oh Maricela, where do I start? In our first meeting it was as if I had known Maricela and we were good friends. After a few rounds of interviews with potential planners, we decided on Maricela for her "can do" attitude and willingness to accommodate all of our needs, which were complicated based on our venue selection. Through the entire planning process she was professional, accommodating, planning ahead, communicative and getting it done! When it came time to pull through, she took management of our timeline, photography team, valet, rentals, florist order, (Earthbaby Flowers), makeup artists (Wendy who is lovely and made me beautiful), cake delivery, lighting, tent rental, and managed with deliveries as well our catering and venue selection (which was a huge challenge). To give you a few examples of her brilliance, on the day of our wedding, I forgot to give her our flower girl basket and she literally put a bouquet of flowers together right before the processional started. During our dinner, our servers managed to forget to offer our guests wine. Maricela and her team literally brought bottles of wine to every table, uncorked too. Her and her team set up the venue beautifully, which was on a private residence. There are a number of things I can list here but Maricela literally made me feel that it was all manageable and that made a huge difference for us. Not everything on your wedding day goes perfect but I swear Maricela literally takes these imperfections and manages them like a magic trick out of a hat! She is resourceful, has great people skills, super friendly and funny, and deserves a lot of recognition as a planner. If you are looking for planner based on your budget, she can make anything happen and it will come out gorgeous! I'm really glad we hired Maricela as she became invaluable to us. We are keeping her around as our friend and for our future events too!

Roger Sent on 09/21/2018We hired Maricela to help us coordinate and organize our 25th Anniversary Celebration. Working with her was a delight! We had a terrific experience. Maricela has great taste, is savvy, super response and able to anticipate potential problems before they appeared! Additionally, when we had any last minute changes or emergencies she was able to resolve them without any complication or delay.

Wendy Sent on 09/20/2018Since the start of the planning Maricela was very helpful. When ever i would text her having questions she would answer quickly and was very helpful. Finally the day of the wedding everything looked amazing! I don't think I ever step foot near the bar or the the food area, Maricela and her staff where on it and would bring it to me. Thanks to Alicias creative and staff for helping me with such a special day.

Melanie Sent on 08/28/2018Where do I begin! My venue Calamigos Ranch required a wedding coordinator for our wedding. I was referred to Maricela. The moment my now husband I had spoke with her, we had an instant connection and we wanted her to do our wedding. I had a lot of questions and Maricela responded very quickly. She was always very professional and I cannot say enough at how amazing our wedding was because of her. She really did an amazing job. I would hands down recommend her. Since our wedding, we’ve had numerous people compliment her on her services. She really went above and beyond!!!! So happy that we picked her to do our wedding!! You will not be disappointed. If I could give her more stars I would!!

Lucinda Sent on 05/15/2018I don't think words can express how AMAZING Maricela and her team were! From the moment my Husband and I met Maricela at a Bridal show we instantly knew we wanted her to help plan our wedding. She is so seasoned in weddings and all that goes along with it. She gave us the best advice and suggestions for vendors without ever being too pushy. Her and her assistant Diana made the planning process so easy and delightful! My husband and I miss them so much! I know it sounds weird, but our wedding meant so much to us and because they both had such a big hand in planning it they definitely became like family!

Chelsy Sent on 12/03/2017When it comes to wedding planning Maricela is truly the best. Not only is she responsive, professional, and supportive; she has vast knowledge of the business and impeccable taste. We planned our wedding with Maricela over a year, she was even there to help me choose the most perfect wedding dress. Every time we felt lost in the planning process Maricela would immediately step in, with her golden ideas and endless creativity and saved the day. She made the planning painless and produced amazing results. She created exactly what my now husband and I were dreaming our wedding day would be. All of the vendors she recommended were excellent and created amazing work themselves. Maricela was good at negotiating with the venue and the vendors and knew exactly how flexible they would be with us. Overall I would highly recommend working with Maricela and letting her create the most perfect day for your wedding day.

Klodiana Sent on 12/23/2016Maricela was the day-of-coordinator for our wedding and she was absolutely wonderful. We highly recommend her!
The moment I met with Maricela (6 months before the wedding), I knew she was going to be a great help. She gave us great advice and many helpful tips. She was very prompt at responding at every question I had while I was planning (and they were many!). The day of the wedding everything came together perfectly. Maricela was flawless! She dealt with everything and everyone. This allowed me to fully experience my wedding day and enjoy my guests without having to worry about the details and the logistics. Both our families told us how thankful they all were that they did not have to worry about a thing but to welcome and enjoy all the guests!
