Our wedding weekend was the best weekend of our lives and it is 100% thanks to Michelle Garibay and her amazing team. We have been working with Michelle for well over a year and the experience has been above five stars the entire time. She helped us in more ways than we can count and completely understood our vision for the weekend. She helped us find the perfect vendor team, and was able to pull together the most beautiful experience from start to finish. We have continued to receive so many compliments from all of our family and friends, we have literally been in a cloud of joy and bliss from the moment the weekend started. Michelle managed every detail of our wedding weekend to the T so that we were able to truly enjoy and soak in every second with our guests. We could cry thinking about how much Michelle means to us. Michelle was so attentive to our every question throughout the entire process and was so knowledgeable about what works, what doesn't, and what's possible. Our wedding weekend was at the Avalon Hotel & Bungalows, and our Rehearsal Dinner/Welcome Party was at Mr. Lyons. We had ~100 guests and we wanted this to feel like a vacation for each of them. From the moment they arrived until they left it was just that. If you're seeking a wedding planner who can deliver a truly unforgettable experience, Michelle Garibay is the one. Thank you Michelle for creating the the most magical experience for us, we will be reliving this weekend for years to come. We feel so fortunate to have worked with Michelle and we could not recommend her more!

Michelle was amazing, we had a wedding weekend at The Hyatt Indian Wells with about 200 people and couldn't be any happier with the outcome!!

From the start she asked what our vision was for our big day and from there created wonderful design boards and found us vendors that suited us best! The design boards came to life in an even better way than I could've ever imagined! She took time to get to know us as a couple to create a very personalized "us" wedding. Her team is also top notch and I ended up feeling stress free and like a guest at my own wedding. A bunch of our guests keep raving that this was "the best wedding" they've ever been to - I might be biased but I have to agree!

Michelle and her team helped us plan the rehearsal dinner, welcome party, the wedding itself and a farewell brunch - each event felt unique to itself but all somehow in our taste.
Thanks so much Michelle for creating our perfect day!!
