I hired the W Event to plan my wedding which would be 7 months away from when I hired them. They interviewed very well so I decided to go with them. We made things official - I did as they asked and paid the deposit fee of $2500 (50% of their fee) and signed the contract. I wanted to get started with planning ASAP so I asked them to schedule venue tours. They took 3 weeks to get back to me after signing the contract and I was the one who had to reach out to them on multiple occasions. Finally, they scheduled me for a tour and per our contract - they are supposed to attend tours with me. They told me they wouldn't be attending since they are busy and have already been to that venue so felt they didn't need to go. This caught me off guard as I believed they would be accompanying me especially on my very first venue tour. After the first tour, I asked for more venues in the OC area as this is my location preference but they kept sending me locations in LA which is closer to them. I had to research venues on my own and scheduled them myself (keep in mind - this is what I hired them to do!) I asked if they would join me, but they told me they wouldn't be going due to being out on vacation/attending a funeral. I was not given prior notice of this and with my wedding being so soon, I just felt like there was no urgency with them. I was basically doing their job even though I paid my hard earned money for their services. After multiple occurrences of their lack of urgency and them totally disregarding anything I was asking for (venues in OC/coming to tour with me) I had my fiancée email them about our concerns since they were not following through on their part. They apologized and now wanted to provide all the things I was inquiring about, but still did not. For my troubles, I called Nicole and requested that they give me a partial refund from my deposit in which Nicole seemed she was going to consider due to the inconvenience they caused, but let me know she needed to speak with her sister about it first then would give me a call back. After talking with her sister, she emailed me that they could not give me a refund due to having already used that money to pay their rent and bills. Nicole didn't even have the decency to call me back. This was super unprofessional and added on more stress in my wedding planning process. They basically just took my hard earned money and gave me nothing in return.

Who else but Nicole from the W Events could help me pull off my 40th Birthday party- turned proposal-turned engagement -turned surprise wedding!? I cannot tell you how many times she ran interference for me! From people who RSVP'd no showing up and not having a seat to making sure my future StepSon came in perfectly on the Skype call from Spain. No snag was too big for her. Everything was handled with grace ans a beautiful smile. I cannot thank her enough for helping me pull off my crazy idea!!!

Laura and Nicole did an amazing job helping us plan and coordinate our wedding. They are very creative, understanding and bounce ideas off each other. Trust me 2 is always better than 1 when it comes to wedding planning. Our wedding ceremony was in Newport Beach and Nicole coordinated that portion, while Laura was at our backyard venue coordinating and getting everything ready for our reception. We highly recommend hiring them. You will not be disappointed.

Nicole and Laura provide EXCELLENT service!! Their detail and attentiveness is unmatched. We had a big birthday party for my sons 6th birthday and everything went smoothly! 50+ guests, DJ, dance floor, face painting, 2 jumpers (one was a 28 ft obstacle course), giant games for the kids and beautiful decorations with several tiny details that wrapped up the theme beautifully. The theme was Roblox, which if you're a parent you know isn't the easiest to decorate but they pulled it off creatively! Don't miss out on the opportunity to have these ladies level up your next event!!

Nicole and Laura worked with us in the summer of 2021. Despite the many losses they must have had due to Covid, they met us where we were at with our budget and went above and beyond for us. They are very professional and very timely and informative with their communications. They are very easy going and enjoyable to work with. With all these tremendous qualities, their very best attribute is their infectious joy. Nicole and Laura seem to truly love what they do, and every single interaction with them left us more happy and excited for our day than we already were. Day of, Nicole and Laura took care of every logistic, working seamlessly with every vendor and wedding team we had. They created an environment of fun and masterfully moved the timeline along, adapting as needed, without making us feel rushed. We are truly grateful for everything they did for us. We were so lucky to share our wedding day with such an excellent team!!

We had the pleasure of working with Laura as our day of wedding planner on September 21, 2024. From the very beginning, she was responsive and easy to work with. Although we hired her just for the day of coordination, I did not feel that was the case. We still had multiple calls and meetings leading up to the day and that helped me feel at ease. From our initial meeting, she understood my vision and provided valuable insights that shaped our day.On the wedding day, I did not feel a single worry that things weren't taken care of. In fact, I didn't hear of any issues from Laura at all and we arrived to the venue with everything perfectly set. Laura coordinated with vendors seamlessly and checked in with us only when needed, allowing us to focus on celebrating our special day.I highly recommend W Events to anyone looking for a dedicated and professional wedding planner. Thank you for making our day unforgettable!

Nicole and Laura saved our wedding day! They were assigned to our wedding during the wedding rehearsal, so I was so nervous meeting them for the first time so close to the wedding. But they were able to jump right on board and take direction on what my vision was with my decor and exceeded my expectations! They were also given the timeline and the notes of the wedding day last minute but it had felt like they had been working with us the whole time! They made me feel so much less stressed about my wedding day. My husband and I can't thank them enough for making our day literally the most special best day of our lives!

Nicole and Laura were an awesome team! Hired them to be my day of coordinators and they went wayyy above and beyond. I am not very detail oriented and they even helped with some of my planning gaps! I went with their recommended florist and videographer as well and both recommendations were perfection. Our rehearsal was a little disorganized because of me and nicole and Laura helped get it on track! Even in 90 degree weather, they handled it all with grace. Our wedding day went soo smoothly because of them, and a bonus was they captured my absolute favorite reel from the day on their IG! (They even hand carried my bubble machines to make my grand exit perfect!!!)Also want to shout them out for grabbing me feminine products when I had a last minute emergency an hour before the ceremony. I cannot recommend them enough if you want a stress free day!!!!

I knew I had to have the W after my first phone consultation. I was instantly comfortable with them. They were there for every planning meeting I needed. They checked in on me during the big day just the right amount, and they were gracious to help with all the setup as well. The W made this process fun and reminded me to celebrate this special day!

Working with Nicole and Laura was the best decision we made to help ease the stress that naturally comes with wedding planning. They are the kindest people and were one step ahead of us throughout the whole process. They even provided some last minute accessories that I completely forgot to bring the day of the wedding.If you're looking for a duo that has your big day in their best interest, these are the women to work with! They worked alongside our vendors seamlessly and worked very nicely with our venue staff. They're very organized, communicative and overall wonderful!We were so pleased to hire The W Event Planning for our wedding, and would highly recommend you do to!
