To be candid, I was extremely intimidated about the prospect of planning a wedding when I first got engaged. I wanted the wedding of my dreams to be flawlessly executed from start to finish, and knew that I needed to work with a planner who was professional, proactive, and trustworthy. I was luckily introduced to Michelle (who checked all of the aforementioned boxes) and signed a full planning contract after an initial call with her.
Michelle supported and guided us throughout the entire planning process. She helped us find our dream wedding venue, and put together an incredible team of wedding vendors. She was also organized and very responsive over email and text.
In the weeks leading up to my wedding, I was naturally feeling nervous and stressed about all of the details and logistics coming together. I wish I spent less time worrying because the day of the wedding was executed perfectly because of Michelle and her team. I was in awe of the florals and decor, and appreciated that Michelle kept us on schedule throughout the day even when unexpected occurrences came up. My husband and I were actually able to enjoy time (and eat!) together during the day of the wedding. This is no small feat given all of the work and set up that needed to be done, and is truly a testament to Michelle and her team's hard work behind the scenes.
We had so many guests compliment how beautiful our wedding was and how much they enjoyed the entire evening - I can confidently say that none of it would have been possible without Michelle and her team. Her expertise, reputation, and connections in the wedding industry are unmatched (every single one of our vendors had nothing but praise for her) and my husband and I are so grateful that we had the chance to work with her on our special day.
Once Janice reached out to me a few months prior to our wedding, I felt instant relief. She came over to my house and we measured the backyard together so she can do a layout of what the ceremony and reception would look like. She sent everyone a detailed timeline of the day and would follow up and remind me when deadlines are approaching.
On the day of the wedding Janice made me feel calm. She is so organized and easy to work with. Everyone loved her ! ( :
Our backyard wedding was perfect - my husband and I were able to enjoy the day without worrying about logistics.
For the day-of, Janice was our coordinator and she was great at making sure all the vendors were accounted for, the day went smoothly, and anything that needed to be taken care of was while my wife and I were being present and enjoying our incredible day! Our wedding was particularly complex because all the vendors/venue were separate groups so there was a lot to orchestrate on the day-of. No bride/groom should have to worry about the logistics during their wedding day and Janice was fantastic at handling anything and everything that came up.
If you are thinking about getting a wedding planner/coordinator, do it! and if you are doing it, go with Somni Events.
My husband and I, like so many newlyweds, were in for a shock because planning a wedding during a pandemic is HARD. We wanted someone who would not only guide us through the crazy experience called wedding planning but give us amazing ideas and input on creating the wedding of our dreams. Michelle did just that and went beyond!! She gives you the experience of a big company with the attention and tailored service of a smaller company. We were able to video conference and meet with her whenever we felt necessary, even though she had so many other events to deal with. She also was very organized and managed family members during the wedding day to take a lot of the stress off of us on our big day (anyone that knows how pushy Asian aunties and uncles are can appreciate this).
Her contacts are so great and you can tell that they want to create a great experience for you and your loved ones. Michelle is honest and mindful of your budget but delivers luxury, sophistication, and uniqueness. I never felt like I was not heard or things got out of control. She made wedding planning stress free and fun! I honestly don't know how she is able to pay attention to so many details, she is amazing!
Having a wedding planner that truly loves love and wants nothing but to create the best day of your life is so important! Her style is so unique and modern, I wish she could plan and design all of my future events! She is worth every penny and more! We love Michelle so much and will be forever thankful for all her effort in creating the wedding of our dreams. Go Somnievents!
- attention to detail
- organized
- lots of vendor contacts
- positive attitude
She even helped us get a lot of discounts which offset her fee and had a lot of great vendor options at different price points.
You might wonder if having a planner is worth it and I say if you can fit it in your budget you will be glad you did. I still don’t know how she manages to do it all but we loved what she did for ours. Highly recommend!
Knowing the length of the wedding planning process (it ended up being 2 years due to our postponement), it was important that I find a planner who I find comfortable to work with. I hear stories of people having to draft emails every time they have a “stupid” question or wondering if it’s appropriate to send a follow-up text when they can’t track down the planner, and I was wary of having to be THAT bride. My favorite thing about Michelle is how easy she is to get a hold of. I was able to text her on the little things and when necessary, she hopped on the phone. While it’s perfectly understandable that vendors take a few business days to respond to emails, look for a planner who’s compatible with YOU.
Our long-distance planning was surprisingly efficient - Michelle was always prepared. I’m certain that she had other clients, but every time we got on the phone/zoom she knew exactly what we had scheduled to talk about and she remembered all the details/decisions from our previous communications. She makes you feel like you’re her only focus even if your wedding is 1+ years away. If you’re looking for productive planning sessions, she’s exactly what you need.
I should also mention that Michelle has great taste in design. I knew the vibe and color I wanted for the ceremony and reception but I didn’t know how to bring it to life with our budget. She found and worked with our florist to transform what you would see on a Pinterest board to a concrete, itemized floral proposal that I could comprehend. She really listened to what was important to us and communicated that with our florist. The end result was amazing - our guests were in love with the flowers!
Our wedding day went smoothly. The timeline was tight since we did a rehearsal lunch the day of, but Michelle’s team kept us on track. Michelle also speaks mandarin so that really helped that she was able to communicate with my mom. We couldn’t have asked for a better planner!
Michelle’s attention to detail, warmth, organization, and positive energy made us feel like we were in such good hands. She executed our vision to a tee and more. Everything exceeded our expectations! Our wedding day ran so smooth and we were able to relax and just enjoy and soak up every moment. We are still dreaming about how perfect the day went. Thank you Michelle for making the wedding of our dreams happen!
Highly recommend Michelle and Somni Events!
