Zoe Sent on 02/01/2022Amazing planning services!
I worked with Ciani for about 6 months and she is AMAZING. On my first meeting with her she asked detailed questions about my fiancé and my love story and our vision for the wedding. She really made an effort to get to know both of us. She is incredibly organized, creative, and brings a calming energy to the planning process. At times, she felt like a wedding therapist on top of a planner. She was on top of providing vendor recommendation, ensuring that we are on track with our timeline, and being flexible with our ever-changing plans. I also appreciate how she donates some of her planning fee to social-justice charities. We ultimately decided to get married outside of California and therefore must go with a local planner out-of-state, so we are very sad that we can't use Ciani's planning services for our actual wedding day. I have no doubt in my mind that she would have done a spectacular job for our wedding planning if had decided to stay local for our wedding and had the pleasure of using her services until the end. If you are in the LA/OC area , do yourself a favor and hire Champion Event Productions!! -

Ciani was like my fairy god mother (but younger and cooler). She helped my vision come to life! She gave great ideas and recommendations and helped me pull of the best day of my life!! IF you need some help, she's your gal! -

Ciani is the most unprofessional vendor I have ever worked with. I am shocked and livid that she went radio silence and blocked my number one month before my wedding. Luckily I was able to find another day of coordinator, but what if I couldn’t? You would think I was a bridezilla and a nightmare to work with, but I barely asked her to do anything… I hired Ciani about 3-4 months before my wedding after I had booked all vendors and had everything almost done. I just needed a few loose ends tied which she agreed to do. After paying her up front for services, she never had anything done per the schedules we would set. I felt that she was always unresponsive and not available. She did not help me with anything I needed help with. She even blatantly lied about doing things.. I said I needed quotes for a dance floor, she said they were all “sold out” and couldn’t show me any emails or requests she actually sent, and when I reached out to one vendor who she said she contacted, they gave me a quote within the hour. After that incident, she literally stopped responding to any emails, texts or calls and eventually blocked my number. She did not even have the courtesy to let me know that she had too much on her plate, or something. Good luck to all the brides out there, I do not recommend hiring Ciani. -

This review is for my experience with Ciani from my 2022 wedding. I did not have a positive experience with her during my wedding planning process. If you want a stress-free planning experience, I suggest you find a different planner. I was beyond stressed during the planning to the point where I almost did not enjoy the experience. I had high expectations but rightfully so when you are spending so much money on one of the most special moments in your life. Things started great. Our first meeting with Ciani went well; she asked all the right questions and said all the right things. However, communication went downhill fast and there was a lack of follow through on certain things. For example, I paid for the design and month of coordination, but I basically designed the majority of the wedding myself. She created a design/vision for us and never really followed through on what she made for me, so it was kind of a waste of time. We legit talked about it maybe once or twice and then never looked at it again. We never felt like our wedding was a priority. Often when we had a meeting scheduled and she would either reschedule, change the time, or she had to leave the meeting early. On one occasion close to the wedding date, we had a meeting scheduled, and she reached out, and she said, “she forgot she had a girls' trip planned.” This was weeks before the wedding, and she didn’t tell me until 10 minutes before our scheduled meeting time. Additionally, during the month of my wedding, vendors were still contacting me which was very frustrating because at that point she should of taken over all communication. During the rehearsal/wedding, our bridal party even called out how disorganized/not present she was. I will say that the assistant who was with her the day of my wedding was amazing and honestly wished she would have been more involved during the entire planning process. Ciani and her team were also responsible for the setup. I noticed quite a few items that didn’t get placed out. Things I had given specific instructions on where I wanted them to go. So it ended up being a waste of money. Seeing our wedding pictures after the fact and noticing things that we paid for like a bar sign and note cards we wanted our guest to sign that didn’t get placed out was very frustrating. Also, the day of our wedding felt very rushed. We were sooo behind schedule and had to rush through special moments. Cinai was responsible for creating the timeline and ensuring we were on schedule. I do not recommend Champion Events. Please do your research and consider other wedding planners for your special day.
