Allure Events Atelier

We were so lucky to be introduced to Flavia in January of 2015. She planned my daughter and son-​in-​laws wedding which took place on December 5, 2015, and I cannot say enough about her talent, attention to detail and warm and genuine heart.
The wedding day was magical and like a dream. It was only made possible by Flavia’s hours and hours of hard work and most creative and beautifully executed ideas.
The mandap she created for my daughters wedding ceremony was out of this world!
The décor in the ballroom was exquisite, elegant and like a fairy tale setting.
Flavia brought a team of wonderful assistants with her on the day of the wedding. Nikka her main assistant needs a word of praise as well. She did not leave my daughters side for a minute the entire day and her calm disposition and professionalism were like no other.
Flavia stayed till the very end of the reception and was by our side solving small issues on the fly with her innate calm personality.
I would highly recommend Flavia to plan your wedding. You will gain not only an amazing planner but a good friend.
Thanks Flavia for everything you did for Jaya and Alex!

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. Mine was no different. And my day wouldn’t have come true if I didn’t have Flavia and her team on my side every step of the way. We can take for granted all what a wedding planner can do.,. I Allure events was not organizing my wedding it would simply not have happened. The attention to details is incredible, from the décor to the planning, choice of vendors. They are professional and are always looking out for what’s best for you. Because of their knowledge, we had also other awesome people working with us: photographer, videographer, cake shop.
I look at pictures and I’m still in disbelief on how amazing my wedding turned out! I was on a budget and honestly couldn’t believe i could have what we ended up having.
Thanks Flavia and all your team for an unforgettable day!

In all honesty, my wedding would have never happened if Flavia were not by my side so to say the least, she holds a very special place in my heart. The vision for our wedding was fairly simple — a 45 person event near the water. However, finding a planner to execute on our vision was more difficult than anticipated after an exhaustive 2 month search, we found Flavia and she was worth the wait! She insisted on meeting in person and met us in West LA, something other candidates did not even suggest. Once we met her, we knew she was «the one» — not only was she willing to work with our ideas, we knew she would elevate the vision we had.
We really put Flavia through her paces after hiring her. It took about 4 months to find a venue and we finally decided on having the ceremony on the Malibu Pier and reception at Malibu Farm. Signed the papers and put in a deposit in December 2014 for a May 2015 wedding. As the months roll by, we finalize the design and logistics for the wedding. Come March, we were told the Malibu Farm/​Pier representative was fired for misrepresenting the venues which put our wedding in danger. Needless to say, my husband and I were in a panic as most of our wedding was planned. We moved the reception down the pier to the Malibu Pier Restaurant where Flavia re-​planned everything and just when we thought it was smooth sailing, we were told by the state that the Pier would be undergoing repairs in the May/​June timeframe and there was a chance our wedding would cancelled. Long story short, we were screwed with 3 weeks left to look for a venue. Malibu was obviously not meant to be. Piece of advice for everyone: DO NOT HAVE YOUR WEDDING ON A PIER!
This is where Flavia really proved her worth! Through a stroke of luck, my husband’s father had a connection at Terranea in Palos Verdes and they had availability on our wedding date on one of their lawns (despite having 3 other weddings that day). Flavia went into triage mode and took care of everything in TWO WEEKS while pregnant. Yes, TWO WEEKS, fourteen days. While pregnant.
Needless to say, she made it happen. Terranea was spectacular and turned out way better than I could’ve imagined. Flavia really pulled out all the stops and made it a night we’ll never forget. And despite the stress (especially on Flavia and her team), the Malibu debacle was the best thing that could’ve happened to our wedding.
Flavia really took it to the next level and I cannot recommend her enough!

So much thanks to give to Flavia. She was my planner for my Indian wedding this past May. There are so many things to navigate with an Indian wedding, but she was so well informed and prepared. She truly cares about the event as if it were her own. She and her staff went out of their ways to be sure that our event was flawless, elegant, and had just the right touches. She went above and beyond her call of duty to be sure my vision was carried out. She gave me and my fiancé a beautifully designed Mandap and the décor was exactly as I envisioned. We could not say enough kind words about the talent, care, and attention to detail she provided during our entire event. Our guests were delighted at their experience of our wedding and we are still getting compliments as to how everything was arranged and executed. She brought a team of helpers with her the day of our wedding so that I would always have someone nearby if I needed them in any way. Thank you Flavia for all your hard word during out wedding. You gave us a beautfiul memory!

Flavia from Allure was a dream to work with and made my wedding day a success! Flavia helped me take my less conventional vision of a wedding and make it a reality. She walked me through each step of the planning process, answered all my questions, helped me deal with the personal conflicts associated with wedding planing, and made the day flow so smoothly. I would highly recommend Allure!
Flavia really made our wedding day possible. Without her, I can’t even imagine all the stressful events that I might have had to face! She was so professional and was able to handle parental drama and to keep everyone happy and blissfully oblivious of any mishaps. I would recommend Allure Events Productions hands down!
Flavia (and her assistant Dianna) were absolutely wonderful to work with. Flavia was very thorough and helped to create a much-​needed timeline for the day of events. She was quick to answer e-​mails and any questions that I had. Since Flavia was already booked to be at a rehearsal dinner the night of my wedding, her assistant Dianna ran my event. Dianna did a great job making sure everything ran smoothly and did everything I needed, without needing to be asked, throughout the night. I would absolutely recommend Weddings by Flavia to anyone getting married. It was one of the best decisions we made and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out!

Highly, highly recommend! Flavia was one of three candidates I reached out to and we really liked her disposition, her approach, and that she’s an ‘owner-​operator’ of her business, with an assistant (as opposed to a larger event company or on a team, where there was a chance your event could drop in priority if a bigger client/​event came in, or that your event could get passed to another planner).
Flavia has a wide range of relationships in place in the southern California area, including beyond-​helpful connections with florals and décor concepts. We had some vendors in place when we hired Flavia; for those we hadn’t already hired, Flavia was great at ‘vetting’ vendors when she was not already familiar with them.
Our event was simple in some ways (ceremony & reception in the same venue, not a lot of transport logistics) but complicated in others (very specific timing, not a lot of advance time in the space, lots of deliveries to coordinate in advance, many participants in our ceremony/​toasts, etc).
Flavia kept it all running smoothly, identified problems in advance and headed them off (her minute-​by-​minute overview of our day was on-​point), and calmly addressed whatever came up– all while making sure that we (the celebrants) actually ate the food we spent months planning, and had a drink while talking to our 90 guests. (It’s funny what you’ll forget to do on the day-​of.)
She is masterfully observant and understands the «flow» of a well-​run event. Flavia has this «in-​control, yet not a control freak» presence, which was perfect: she speaks with authority while being genuine & pleasant– not always something you find in a planner, and what we wanted for handling vendors! She stopped at nothing to make things look and feel the way we envisioned– she tested out a bunch of ideas with us for décor leading up to our celebration, and kept on quests for supplies and designs for us.
From planning to day-​of, we loved working with Flavia!

Flavia helped me with my wedding planning. I have only one thing to say… PHENOMENAL!!! I got married on August 16 in Chicago and I will be forever thankful for everything she did for me. Flavia is organized, punctual and really know her work. She handled the rehearsal and the day of the wedding like nobody else. She met with the caterer the day before just to get the table linens and make sure everything was going to be perfectly set up the day of the wedding. Because of Flavia, my husband and I had the luxury to rest in the bride’s room for 40 minutes during the cocktail hour and I have to confess that it was priceless. I will hire Flavia over and over … I am in hospitality and I have to say that Flavia is the best wedding planner I have ever seem working. I highly recommend Flavia to be your wedding planner. It is worth every money spent!!!

Working with Flavia was absolutely wonderfu! She is so easy to talk to and I regularly felt that she could understand what I was envisioning even if I didn’t feel that I was articulating it very well, and she always made it happen. She has a wonderful «editing eye» due to her extensive experience which we found to be invaluable. Planning a wedding can be a very overwhelming experience with the amount of options available for every single aspect, so for us it was priceless to be able to work with someone who knows what is worth doing and at what cost. Combined with her great taste and eye for luxury and detail, she helped us make even the DIY elements of the wedding look like we paid top dollar for them. She was very personally involved in providing the vision we had rather than recycling ideas and trying to make them fit, which I really appreciated
The thing I loved best in working with Flavia is how she was always available when I had questions or concerns. She is very detail oriented and combined with her experience it seemed as if she could handle any situation and even foresee where an issue might arise and deal with it before it became a bigger problem. I could not have been happier working with Flavia and her Allure team and I really can’t recommend Allure enough!
