Create Events

I contacted Create Events as they were on the preferred vendor list for our venue. I met Monica for an initial consultation where we went over how I envisioned our wedding. She asked me a number of questions regarding the details, what was important to me, and spent over an hour giving me tips and answering all the questions that I had. I knew from how organized and knowledgeable she was (has been doing their for 10+ years), that she would be amazing, and AMAZING she was! I booked Create Events for our Day of Coordination. I cannot say enough great things about Monica, from her responsiveness, to her attention to detail, I felt we were in great hands come the day of our wedding. Monica and her team arrived on the day of our wedding and got down to business right away! I found out later on that our lighting vendor didn’t show up until an hour before the ceremony, and I had no idea! Monica was seamless and very relaxed, I wouldn’t have known something was wrong. All of my vendors raved about what an informative coordinator she was. My mom and sister were also very grateful for Monica on the day of as various things came up and Monica handled everything! I had so many DIYs that I wanted setup for the reception and her team pulled off every aspect just how I envisioned! Monica was the best investment we made for our big day! Worth EVERY penny! Our wedding ran on schedule the entire night, which was important as I only hired the photographers for a certain time, but wanted them to capture certain aspects before they left. I HIGHLY recommend Create Events, they are the reason we do not have any «horror» stories from our wedding day!

Monica is the best! As a makeup artist I have love working with an organized planner that updates you with information, location and start times. She always checks in and I have never seen
More calm brides then when she is the cordinatoor! The best as always

Monica from Create Events was our amazing day-​of coordinator for our June wedding and hiring her was one of the best decisions we made. As part of our contract with our wedding venue, my husband and I had to hire a professional coordinator. Initially, we weren’t pleased about additional expenses and finding another vendor. However, once we met Monica and saw how professional and friendly she was and learned how much she did, we knew we had to hire her. Monica described her role as more of month-​of coordination, but she did even more than that. She was available for all my questions and any advice I needed leading up to the wedding. She also helped me get organized and develop day-​of timelines and make sure I had every detail covered. Throughout it all she was my advocate with vendors and the location, making sure what we wanted was most important.
The day of the wedding, Monica and her team were on site hours early to make sure everything was in order and to be of help in any way they could. I felt such relief knowing she was there. She handled every problem and details I messed up on, like when my heel broke or when I forgot to include children’s meals for the reception. Monica and her team solved every issue quickly and quietly, with smiles on their faces. I had nothing to worry about. At the end of the evening they had all my DIY elements, the cake, and gifts/​cards packed up to help family members that were taking them. Monica’s team really went above and beyond. On top of all their amazing work, Create Events’ prices are so competitive; hiring her was really the easiest decision we made during wedding planning. I respect and appreciate Monica’s philosophy that she wants to be every couple to be able to afford coordination services.
Not only does Monica work incredibly hard, she makes it look effortless, she is always smiling, she is professional, and she is friendly and kind. She is the kind of person my husband and I wanted there on our happy wedding day. Her team is the same. Our wedding was so perfect – happy, beautiful and exactly what we envisioned – and I know Monica was a huge part of that. We are so grateful you were a part of our wedding!

Monica is amazing. She was referred to us from a friend, and choosing her as our coordinator was one of the best choices we made. Monica made our day as wonderful as it could be. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a great wedding planner.

Monica was our day of coordinator, but really it ends up being the month of coordinator. She was so efficient with everything– she was in touch with our site coordinator daily, set up our decorations perfectly, and made sure our wedding went seamlessly. I truly don’t know what we would have done without her. On top
of the organization, she is just the sweetest, loveliest person to work with. We are forever grateful for the amazing wedding she helped create.

I just had a wedding in ¹⁰⁄₂₀₁₃ and I hired Monica for a day of coordinator. She was so nice & energetic, and went beyond of what was in the contract. The wedding went smooth and perfect (just as we planned and pictured), it was worry-​free and we were able to enjoy our big day. We could not do it without her!!!

I personally went to college for event management and I work in the industry. Therefore, I was debating on hiring a day of coordinator, unsure if i wanted to do it myself. It was definitely the best decision I made hiring monica to coordinate my wedding the day of. She not only made my day stress free, but she was professional and took care of every last detail. I’ve been around a lot of planners and monica definitely knows what she is doing and how to handle the chaos a wedding can bring. She also gave me the confidence of knowing everything was going to turn out perfect and flawlessly, with her attention to detail and organization. Thanks to create events I was able to enjoy my special day and not be in a work mindset. Monica put my crazy perfectionist mind to ease !

Hiring Monica was the best thing I could have done for our wedding. First — I was against hiring a coordinator. My husband was the one that wanted one. I figured, I could do everything on my own with the help of friends. If anyone thinks that a coordinator isn’t beneficial — THINK AGAIN! Hiring Monica made me, my friends and family be able to enjoy our big day.
We hired her for «Day Of» but we were able to meet with her multiple times (of course, if she doesn’t know what’s going on, how can she do her job?)
Initial Meeting:
She came prepared with her paperwork of standard questions to ask, got to know us. I loved the fact that she came prepared with questions.
Walk Through:
She actually followed up with me to schedule a walk through. Setting up a time with her was very easy. Also, she had experience working with our venue (Del Mar Powerhouse), which is why we chose her. The venue is very… let’s say, picky, about what you can do so the fact that she knew their rules was really really nice.
Final Meeting:
She even met with us in person about a week and a half before our big day to go over our timeline, all setup, vendors, etc.
Rehersal:
She conducted our rehearsal the day before and grabbed all our décor, since we couldn’t store them at the venue.
Day Of:
She was onsite promptly at 12 PM to set EVERYTHING up. I’m a pretty detailed person but it looked fabulous (she wouldn’t even let me peek until it was all ready). She stayed and made sure everything was cleaned up so I got my full deposit back from the venue.
Would I hire Monica again? Definitely. Without her, I probably would’ve gone bridezilla or literally broke down in tears.
Just a piece of advice to people out there: She can’t read your mind so COMMUNICATE with her! The more descriptive you are, the better she will be able to execute your day. I made all my documents on GoogleDocs and shared them with her so she would always have immediate access to my documents as I’m updating them (also reduces the need to email and going, «did I send that to her?»).

I hired Monica for my graduation party. Everything i wanted, she made it happen. She was able to get everything right down to the little details. I honestly can’t think of anything that disappointed me about the party. It was beautiful, fun, and unforgettable. Pretty much every guest had a blast and i have had many of them come to me asking for her information to plan their own parties. It was the best night of my life! You guys HAVE to go with Create Events. They do NOT disappoint.

Monica was the day of coordinator for us in Del Mar and she and her team did an amazing job on our wedding. She was there the day before to prep, came early the day of with her two assistants, and made sure our wedding was executed to perfection.
We are so very glad that Monica was our day-​of. She made sure everything was set up, and when it wasn’t, she did it or had it finished. Everything went better than expected and it was one of the best days of our life. Monica and her team set up our cake table, put up decorations, made sure everything was on time, and helped with clearing of tables and anything else we needed. At the last minute the venue manager didn’t allow us to put wine bottles on the tables which we had planned long beforehand, so Monica and her assistants adjusted and handled it quickly. They helped the waiters table pass all the wine within a few minutes to handle it without incident.
The last thing you want to do is stress out or have to make decisions on the day of your wedding. That is what she is there for. So, I highly suggest hiring her!

I honestly cannot say enough about how happy I was with Monica and her team as our day-​of coordinator for our wedding on July 7, 2012 in San Diego, CA. They did an absolutely incredible job! They set up the reception room just how we wanted it and were able to keep the flow of our reception going even though our DJ was trying to drag things out. She was always willing to help us out with anything during the planning process even though she was only our day-​of coordinator. I really can’t imagine the day without Monica and her team. Although I was very hesitant about paying more than I wanted to (mind you, I was hoping to pay like $ 300 for a day-​of coordinator), it was worth every single cent!!! I am beyond happy with my decision to go with Monica!

Monica came highly recommended to us through a trustworthy friend of mine, and the minute my wife Danielle and I met her, I knew we made a great decision. She had a very welcoming and enthusiastic personality, and she found a way to sustain it throughout the entire wedding process without once being overwhelming.
As a guy, I didn’t care nearly as much about some of the intricate details as Danielle did, so what I found as rewarding as anything was how at ease Danielle was with the help of Monica. Not to mention, I wasn’t quite aware of all that goes into weddings until we actually started planning so I can’t really imagine going through this without help.
There were definitely a few things that stood out to me about Monica. First, she had a great way of asking questions to help us realize in a short amount of time what we wanted. At the same time, she still found a way to add her nice touch on things with her attention to detail and suggestions. The best part about her suggestions was how confident she seemed with all of them, thus making me feel like it had to be a great idea. The main thing though, Monica bent over backwards to accommodate for everything we needed, and I am truly thankful for that. It was because of her hard work, selflessness, patience and expertise that we could have the beautiful wedding Danielle had always envisioned.
Thanks for everything, Monica!

Hiring Monica as our Full Service wedding coordinator was the best decision my husband and I made throughout our entire wedding planning process!!! She is the BEST! Monica made our wedding day absolutely perfect and truly everything we dreamed of! We honestly could not have had such a successful event without her. She went above and beyond our expectations.
Throughout the planning process, I was extremely indecisive abput just about every detail and she helped me transform my visions into reality. She transformed my parents backyard into the romantic/​vintage/​shabby chic theme I had always envisioned it becoming and brought together every single vendor we desired to make our wedding day everything is was, perfect! It felt so amazing to have someone handle every aspect of planning our wedding. Her responsiveness, professionalism, personality and quality of the service she provides is everything you could ever want/​need/​desire in a wedding coordinator.
If you want to thoroughly ENJOY planning your wedding, hire Monica at Create Events! You won’t regret it!!!
