Best Wedding Planner/DOC to ever work with!
My (now husband) and I got engaged last May 2020 and we both knew right away we wanted to hire Niña/Planning Cloud Nine team, especially after seeing her work her magic during my cousin’s wedding. She and her team did NOT disappoint!!!
Months leading up to my 10/2021 wedding, Niña met up with us in person as well as via Zoom in order to run through our wedding day timeline, pre-ceremony tasks and set-up instructions for her team. She really made sure that every major pick-up, drop-off and set-up task was taken care of so that there is ZERO stress for me, my husband and family/friends. She did an amazing job from start to finish, made sure our timeline ran smoothly, and was very quick to solve any issues that came across her way on the day of the wedding.
A couple weeks before our wedding, Niña also contacted every vendor we hired to confirm all special deliveries, arrival times and floral/decor set-up times. AND to top it off, not only did she make sure the wedding party and couple were taken care of… she also constantly checked on my Mom and made sure she ate & drank throughout the wedding!! It’s both the little and big things she did before, during and after our wedding day that made our experience with her the best. Thank you, Niña and PC9 team for all your help in making our wedding day the most perfect day of our lives! -

If you want a coordinator who would treat your special day like it were her own - Niña is the one to hire. From the moment we got engaged and had her on our team, she took charge and brought our visions to life. She was on top of everything and gave much attention to detail. What we love most about her is that she is solutions-oriented and keeps a positive attitude in everything. There were a few moments in our wedding where we missed a couple of things (our fault!) - but she was so quick to act, nobody noticed a thing! This is the kind of person who would run in heels for you if she needs to - and still looks great doing it!
An absolute boss lady with the most compassionate heart; she is also tremendously caring, not just to us (the couple) but to our family and entourage as well. Appreciated how she tried to minimize calling us on our wedding day so we can focus and take it all in. But even when she did, it was really just to check in on us and put our minds at ease that she was taking care of everything. We were in such good hands. She was never mean when giving instructions to our other vendors and entourage, but still gave them out with authority and confidence. Some of our bridesmaids and groomsmen were saying how they felt like the day was so smooth and easy and they really got to enjoy most of it, and we know that’s thanks to her! Her professionalism and expertise made our big day what it was! And to this day, it’s still being talked about by all our friends and family especially given that it was the last big event before the citywide shutdown due to the Pandemic. I’m glad everyone had great memories of it! -

Nina was a dream to work with. Although we only had her as our day-of coordinator, she was went above and beyond our expectations. We met in person about 3 times before the wedding, but we were in constant contact via email and/or text. She was attentive to what we needed/wanted and also gave suggestions/ideas for things we weren't sure of. She never pushed any ideas that we weren't into, but honestly, all her ideas were pretty great. She saved us from paying additional delivery fees by offering to pick up all the personal flowers needed for the ceremony as well as the breakfast for the bridal party on the morning of the wedding. She was at the ceremony, even though the church had their own coordinator, just in case we needed anything. Her team did a great job setting up the cocktail hour, reception area and dessert tables. Nina was on top of the timeline and kept us stress free until the end of the night. Nina and her team also cleaned up at the end of the night and loaded up the cars with anything that we planned to take home. Our wedding was awesome and a big part of that was thanks to Nina and her team. We would 100% recommend her to anyone and everyone! Overall, Nina was great to work with and you will not regret hiring her to be part of your special day.Planning Cloud Nine's reply:

Planning Cloud Nine was the reason my wedding was such a success, the reason it ran so smoothly leading up to and on wedding day, and the reason it will be remembered by so many as the greatest wedding ever. She coordinated with all the different vendors and it was impressive to know that despite some vendors being unresponsive or uncooperative with each other, she was able to get things done. During the planning process, she provided us with a timeline and sequence of events for the wedding so that my wife and I were really able to better understand the "big picture" as far as the wedding day was concerned. She was willing to handle last minute errands for my me and my wife as our wedding day got closer. Also, her conflict resolution and critical thinking were so important to our big day going smoothly. Many unexpected things happened during our wedding, but she was able to fix everything!
A few particular examples that stand out in my mind are:
1) I organized tuxedo rentals through a local company and the week of the wedding, the company forgot to include multiple accessories with the groomsmen tuxedos. The company wasn't able to receive the missing items until the day of the wedding and I didn't have enough time to pick the items up without running the risk of being late to my own wedding and she went out of her way to pick the items up for me. This showed me that Nina was willing to go that extra mile and make sure that we didn't worry about anything on our big day.
2) The bishop that was supposed to marry me and my wife didn't show up to our wedding on time, this started to cause a bit of panic. Nina kept everyone calm and tried calling the pastor with no success. Nina had intentionally waited until after the issue was resolved before she informed my wife of the change and I really appreciated this because had I told my wife from the beginning that the pastor did not show up on time and we didn't know who we were going to have officiate our ceremony, my wife probably wouldn't been VERY stressed out. This incident showed me that Nina can skillfully manage a crisis with ease and finesse.
3) The caterer required my wife and I to provide 9 tables. I set up the table rental with a local party rental company and the day prior to the wedding, I wasn't able to make it to the party rental business to drop off the deposit for the delivery and the business wouldn't answer my calls or texts that night. This had me really worried that we'd end up not having tables for the caterers to serve food to our guests and when I told Nina about it, she informed me to not worry about it and that she would take care of it. When I arrived at the venue a few hours early before the start of the ceremony, I noticed that all 9 tables for the caterers were set up. This showed me that when there is a crisis Nina will handle and when she tells you that she'll handle something, she's true to her word and she's reliable.
Nina is, hands down, the best wedding coordinator that I've ever known. Her reliability, professionalism, promptness, and ability to manage crises with ease proved to be the key reason as to why my wedding ran so smoothly from start to finish. She's extremely organized and I couldn't imagine planning a wedding without her.

Ultimate Capricorn Queen to meet your wedding needs!
We’re so happy to have found Nina and her Planning Cloud Nine team to help us make our dream wedding a reality. She was so easy to work with, always available via text or email, very well organized, and flexible with scheduling her meetings with us. Leading up to our big day, she provided guidance and structure to our wedding planning, and supported our choices in vendors and provided feedback to help improve the flow in coordinating all aspects of our 300+ guests wedding. On the day of she really showed her ability to coordinate and took all of the weight off our shoulders. We got a lot of positive feedback from our venue, vendors, and even our families about Nina. Our wedding day wouldn’t be perfect without her, a true Capricorn Queen.Planning Cloud Nine's reply:

I'm not sure what we would have done without Nina and her team! She was such a HUGE help in the finalizing the details of our wedding and then implementing our vision day of. If you are looking for someone that you can give the reins over to on the day of your wedding and feel confident things will be handled...look no further. I'm a planner and a worrier, her team made me feel confident that I didn't need to worry and if an issue did arise or something I had planned wasn't going to work, that they could improvise and make it better than I had envisioned. Thank you Nina for helping to make our day go so well! If there is one piece of advice I could give new brides, get a day of coordinator...it is seriously the best money you will spend. On the day of your wedding you won't want to stress about flowers or setting up the place settings...you'll want to breathe, take in the moments and enjoy your family and friends. That's why Planning Cloud Nine was so amazing. They took the worry out of the day and I could try and be as present as possible. We SINCERELY couldn't have done it without you guys!!!Planning Cloud Nine's reply:
Thank you so much, Emily! You and Nate are an amazing couple, and I could tell that you two are surrounded by so much love from family and friends. I absolutely LOVED your venue and the personal touches you implemented, like the family pictures honoring your parents and grandparents. I know you and Nate are going to have a fun and amazing marriage. Cheers to you, Mr. and Mrs. Mecija! -

The Best!!
I can honestly say that I don’t know what I would’ve done if I didn’t have Planning Cloud Nine as my wedding coordinator. Niña was patient, organized, and extremely involved. So much stress and chaos occurs during planning and Niña completely relieved that throughout the whole process. She made herself available via text or email 24/7 and was probably the only person I trusted. I felt that I could always approach her with my concerns because she was so friendly and really cared about making my experience smooth. I was able to rely on her to make phone calls, create time lines, and even recommend quality vendors. Not to mention, she and her team set up all the décor and the layout of the guest/dessert tables and did an amazing job! (Something I rarely say because I’m super picky). I can’t express this enough, but a wedding planner is crucial and I am forever grateful for Planning Cloud Nine!Planning Cloud Nine's reply:
Thank you so much, Celine! Your beautiful wedding at The Saguaro in Palm Springs was perfect for you and Kyle. The vision for your wedding was amazing, and I am so glad that I was there to help it come to life! -

Nina and her team are absolutely wonderful. Without them, our wedding would've truly been chaotic and stressful!
My wife and I are no strangers to the wedding scene (we are event photographers) and we thought we had everything down and under control since we've seen the process so many times. My wife created a spreadsheet of all the things that needed to be done and I made sure they were completed and ready to go by our wedding date. Little did we know that it was more involved than that-- despite our thorough preparation, all would have been for naught if we didn't have someone competent to execute it on the day of. Luckily we came to our senses a few months before the big day and decided to look up a wedding coordinator that would help ensure that things went smoothly.
Enter Nina. Nina was our "day of" planner for our wedding in Newport Beach along with her crew. Even though she only had a few months notice before our special day, she made sure everything we've planned so far looked sound. We only hired her for the day of the wedding, but she went above and beyond and helped us from the moment we booked her. Her attention to detail is astounding, and she wasn't overbearing when it came to her opinion on what may or may not work better than the choices we've made. It was very clear that she understood that it was our special day and even with some of our more outrageous requests, she found a way to make it happen (i.e. getting our wedding party of 22 people fast food drive thru during our pictorial session after the church and before the reception. How she coordinated that and delivered at our shoot location is beyond me and was appreciated by everyone in the party bus!)
On the day of, she and her team were a godsend. I honestly don't know what I was thinking when I thought my wife and I would be able to handle all that she did by ourselves, AND get married at the same time. It's physically impossible! She and her team were easy to work with and it really felt like they were everywhere when we needed them. Most of all, they were always happy to help, and you can genuinely see that they were (unlike some wedding coordinators where you can see them clenching their teeth when they ask if you need anything, lol.) Having a wedding coordinator that REALLY loves what he/she does is especially important because they will be orchestrating the whole day and be communicating with your other vendors. The last thing you need is one with an attitude that will set off a bad vibe. Nina and her girls are the kindest ones I've met yet, without sacrificing professionalism (and I've worked with many). I'm truly happy that my wife and I went with her and her team for our own wedding.
I'd happily recommend Nina to anyone that needs a coordinator! Professionalism, attention to detail AND genuine friendliness can be hard to find nowadays when looking for a coordinator-- Nina is certainly one of maybe a few in this area :).Planning Cloud Nine's reply:
Thank you so much, Steph and Krystal! Thank you for allowing Planning Cloud Nine to help you have a stress free and beautiful wedding. I LOVED all of the personal touches you had at your wedding, especially the amazing pictures from your trips together. Your love for photography and impeccable eye were displayed through the works of photographic art around the room. They were incredible! Cheers to you, Mr. and Mrs. Arias!
