KIND WORDS FROM OUR BELOVED COUPLES
SAMANTHA + KEVIN / APRIL 2023 / @EBELL LONG BEACH
It was an absolute honor to have Angie as our full-service wedding planner! She and her team exceeded all of our expectations. Not only are they organized, attentive to detail, and professional, but they also ensured that all our dreams and plans were executed perfectly—and indeed, our day was absolutely flawless. They went above and beyond throughout the whole wedding planning process.
We knew we wanted to work with a planner who felt like a friend and would tell us exactly how it is. From the first Zoom call, we knew that we could trust Angie completely. She was personable, loving, and extremely thoughtful. Living in New York City, we trusted Angie and her team entirely to guide us through the planning process, given their experience organizing weddings at Ebell Long Beach. We were especially touched by Angie’s surprise visit after her recent baby delivery.
We also found our vendors from Angie’s recommendations—photography, videography, DJ’s, rentals, etc. Angie has a great network of vendors, making our planning process much easier. We loved that she made all the vendors feel like they were part of the team as well. We also hired them for florals, and it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. They definitely have a great eye for timeless yet modern aesthetics and will work within your budget to make your dreams come true. Her coordinator, Helen, was also a delight to work with. Her patience shone throughout the process, from answering our questions to ensuring we were prepared leading up to our big day. We received so many compliments from guests and families about how beautiful the wedding was and how smooth everything went.
Beloved Events will always hold a special place in our hearts, and their team helped create amazing wedding memories that will last a lifetime. We highly recommend reaching out to Angie and having a chat—you’ll fall in love with her and her team like we did .
SARAH + WANGSU / JUNE 2024 / @THE RICHLAND
Angie & Beloved Events Co. are the ABSOLUTE BEST in florals and wedding coordination and we are so thankful to have worked with such an experienced and talented team on our big day.
Since we knew we wanted to take the lead in planning the wedding, we decided to go with the Poppy package. Throughout the wedding planning process, Angie & Helen gave amazing advice and perspective to someone who had never planned a wedding before. When planning became overwhelming, Angie was so kind to hop on a phone call to ease any concerns. Helen was fast at communicating over text and email, and eager to answer any questions we had — big or small.
We also went with Beloved for our florals, and they really exceeded our expectations!! We wanted to have a very whimsical, colorful, and unique floral design. And let’s just say, TRUST YOUR FLORIST!! We put all of our trust in the Beloved team and they took our vision and made it 10000x more beautiful than we could have imagined. We received so many praises on how the florals complemented the entire event, from the bridesmaids dresses to the venue and the signage, and this is all thanks to the talent of Angie and her exceptional team. (We’re not even the type of people who buy bouquets for the house or really *love* flowers, but we do not regret a single penny that went into our florals on our wedding day).
On the day of the wedding, we didn’t have to worry about ANYTHING besides taking in the day and enjoying it. Helen was so thorough and made sure to check in with us often, and we could see how hard she and her assistant were working to make sure that things were moving smoothly and that we were able to enjoy ourselves. They collaborated seamlessly with our other vendors, and overall it was the perfect day.
Thank you Team Beloved!! Our wedding day MVPs!!! We are endlessly grateful!!
GRACE + FORREST / MARCH 2023 / @EAST ANGEL
We are so grateful to have worked with Beloved for both our wedding florals and coordination and believe it was one of our best decisions in planning our wedding! It just makes *sense* for the team who is designing your florals to also lead the planning and coordination process in order to execute a cohesive vision.
We went with the Lavender package (partial coordination), which was perfect for us. I was a very detail oriented bride, but definitely needed Angie and Helen's expertise for some decisions and details. Their recommendations always came backed up by experience and we were so grateful to have their insights along the way. One of our most important meetings with Angie and Helen was our wedding timeline planning meeting. We were feeling overwhelmed by the weight and amount of decisions we needed to make for the day-of events before, during, and after the wedding, but they came prepared with suggestions, comparisons, and encouragement and turned it into a much more relaxed but still efficient process.
Angie also went on maternity leave shortly before our wedding date, but she had graciously communicated her timeline with us very early on and brought Helen into our planning meetings far in advance so we fully trusted in a seamless transition. Helen was so awesome as our lead coordinator for our rehearsal and day-of, along with sweet Sarah as assistant coordinator, and we felt so grateful to Beloved for delivering as a team! Our wedding day went exactly as planned and so many of our friends and family (including those aunties who like to criticize lol) told us our wedding was timed just right and that they enjoyed the flow of the night. All thanks to Helen, Sarah, and the rest of the team who took care of all vendor coordination, every detail from setup to tear-down, and also checking on us throughout the day and night to give us reassuring words. Their efforts truly showed us why couples NEED coordinators -- we could not have fully enjoyed our special day without their help!
Now for the florals -- Beloved florals at your wedding are a MUST! I knew after just one florals planning meeting that Angie understood the assignment. Seeing how the florals turned out on the day-of was one of the best surprises -- every piece from the bouquets, ceremony installations, and table arrangements was so beautifully and carefully arranged. Our florals were really our only decorations in a minimalist venue space and they *delivered*. They brought the whole space together to create the dreamy, soft, spring wedding vibe we had imagined. My bridal bouquet in particular is what made me feel most like a bride, even more so than my dress and veil. Angie also went above and beyond to make my bridal bouquet herself even though she was still on maternity leave and just had her son weeks before my wedding. This was so, so thoughtful of her and showed us how much she cares about her Beloved couples!
We can't recommend Beloved enough -- they are professional, knowledgeable, kind, and so sweet, and they will make your big day even better than you imagined!
SINI + DAVID / MARCH 2022 / @JOSHUA TREE
Where do I even begin? Choosing to work with Angie and the Beloved Events Co. team was hands down one of the best decisions David and I have made in our wedding planning process. Being a wedding vendor myself, I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Angie for various weddings & always remembered her to make my job easy with her amazing communication skills & by running a smooth event, while keeping her clients happy and assured. So when it became my turn to be a bride, asking Angie to coordinate my wedding felt like a no brainer. We chose to hire Angie for partial planning, as I was the type of bride that wanted to be involved in the styling aspects of the wedding, but lacked the confidence and drive to “be one top of it” at all times Throughout the planning process, Angie kept us accountable and helped break up our to-do list in manageable pieces, so we never felt like we were overwhelmed.
We had our wedding out in the desert (Joshua Tree) at an Airbnb. Due to the nature of venue being a residential space, we had to bring in all our vendors (from lighting to catering to bathrooms to rentals — the list goes on). I undoubtedly felt some anxiety knowing that there were so many moving parts to our wedding, but Angie continued to assure me that everything was going to be okay & her words were NOT empty promises!! On the day of our wedding, there were some hiccups re: things not going exactly as we had planned (out of Angie and everyone’s control), but Angie and her team were quick to think on their feet and executed a flawless backup plan, which in the end, felt even better than what we had hoped for all along. Needless to say, we were blown away by her ability to solve problems, seek solutions, and provide the best outcomes. We genuinely mean it when we say Angie cares about you, the work she does & will ensure that you are taken care of throughout the entire process. We never felt like we were left in the dark with her prompt responses and timely outreach.
I wouldn’t hesitate even a millisecond to recommend Angie and her team to future brides. After the wedding, our guests couldn’t stop raving about how Angie and her team were so friendly and professional — my dad even said that she had a “daughter-like presence” & was so lovely to all of our family members; they felt as if she was a part of our family.
Angie, you are so good at what you do & we are blessed to have had you and your talented team coordinating our special day. Your work ethic is something I admire and am constantly inspired by. Grateful to know you and have you as friend and support system in this industry. Love you to the moon and back!
SARAH + LOUIS / SEP 2022 / @EBELL LONG BEACH
We used Beloved Events Co for the full service and they've exceeded our expectations and went above & beyond from the moment we've started working with them! As this was a destination wedding for us due to living outside of California, Angie played a huge role to make sure our mood board came to life without us having to be present most of the time. When you pick the Rosemary Package (full coordination) - she is there from beginning to the end such as venue picking, floral design, centerpiece ideas, and preferable vendors which eliminates the stress that we thought we'd have to go through. As a destination wedding, there was a lot of back and forth, uncertainty, and budget challenge but we appreciated Angie's accommodation, guidance, and honesty with helping us in areas that needed more attention which resulted in what we envisioned into reality! We also appreciated the relationship that her team already had with some of our vendors, making it easier, checking and chiming in when needed and going over the little details beforehand to ensure our wedding had a smooth transition and for all our guests to have a great time!
Beloved's high quality of service, patience, and dedication was a result of an amazing, positive feedback from family and friends! Overall, our wedding was a day we all truly cannot forget due to the level of effort her whole team poured into. To all the future couples out there, Beloved has an applicable taste and creativity to curate your most special day. We are so grateful for Angie, Helen, and the rest of the team - we can't stop raving about them!
NICOLE + PHILLIP / AUG 2022 / @Grand Gimeno
Without a doubt, the best part of our wedding was our amazing team of vendors - a large credit to Beloved Events. We hired Beloved for both our flowers and wedding coordination and this made EVERYTHING about our wedding so much easier. Angie was up to date with table/layout changes as our coordinator, which translated seamlessly to our floral needs. I told Angie my "Pinterest board" for floral inspiration was literally her Instagram page and she exceeded all my expectations. We walked through everything we would potentially need for each space a few months before the wedding and Angie communicated the breakdown of all the pieces clearly, gave suggestions for what she thought we would need from her experience in our venue, and followed up with any changes right away. The team helped us repurpose our ceremony arch for our Chinese tea ceremony and the reception, which ended up saving us money!
Planning our wedding with Angie was like planning with our best friend. She was quick to respond to all of my texts and always had great solutions. The Beloved team was professional, organized, and the best hype crew for our wedding party on our big day. Several of our friends and family commented on how sweet the team was and noticed how helpful Angie was for me in handling our timeline and any hiccups that came up. We were able to fully immerse ourselves at our wedding because Angie took care of everything for us. Thank you to the Beloved team for dreaming up our day with us and helping us execute it so beautifully!
ERIN + PHONG / AUG 2022 / @MUCKENTHALER MANISON
We are so incredibly grateful to the Beloved Events Co team for bringing our dream wedding to fruition! Ever since our first meeting to our final hug of the evening, Angie and her team have been so professional, considerate, detail-oriented, and simply a joy to work with. Planning a wedding (especially during the pandemic) was truly a feat and through our long year of planning, Angie went above and beyond her role as our coordinator/florist. She was so prompt in her replies and so thoughtful with her recommendations. My husband and I were both so busy focusing on our guests that we didn't have time to think much about the details on the big day but we were both so relaxed knowing Beloved Events Co had everything taken care of. Helen was so sweet throughout our reception as she'd frequently check in on us to make sure we were doing ok and staying hydrated. The florals were absolutely perfect and masterfully created. Overall, we are so grateful to have had the privilege of working with Beloved Events Co and would highly recommend them to anyone.
REBECCA + JUSTIN / JUNE 2022 / @ROSE CENTER
Angie and her team were absolutely amazing and we can't stop mentioning how great they were every time someone asks us about the wedding. We initially connected with Angie to talk about flowers for our wedding and I knew right away that I wanted her to be our coordinator as well. Hiring Angie as both our florist and our month-of-coordinator was one of the best decisions we could have made and I would do it again every single time. Throughout the planning process, she was always super engaged and empathetic. She was communicative, responsive, and really organized. On top of all that, she provided so much knowledge and experience, from wedding design and arrangements, to all the day-of wedding details.
On the day of our wedding, we only had great things to say about the team. The flowers and decorations were even more beautiful than I envisioned. We literally didn't have to think about anything because the Beloved Events team was on top of it from start to finish, from setup to cleanup. The entire team was so friendly, helpful, and trustworthy. All we did was dress up, show up, and had the best wedding ever! We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for floral design or wedding coordination.
Thank you to Angie and the entire Beloved Events team! Ya'll are the best 🙂
CHRISTINE + HARRY / FEB 2022 / @LA VENTURA
Book Angie now before it's too late. End of review. But really, go. Angie has been the easiest and sweetest person to work with for our wedding. We hired her for both coordination and florals and everything was handled with such talent, care, and perfection. She's truly living out her passion and you can tell by the way she approaches her work and her couples. She's your biggest hype woman from selecting every detail to the dance floor. Communication has always been prompt and clear. She helps with vendor referrals and giving honest recommendations. She has good relationships with multiple vendors which speaks volumes in itself. It has been a joy to have Angie and her team walk alongside us during our entire wedding planning process. They truly brought our vision to life and executed it perfectly. They not only take care of their couples, but the entire wedding party (ours was a party of 16), the flower girl, and the families. At our rehearsal, we talked about how we're so happy we hired Angie because we felt so cared for. We really were able to trust them with the day, so we got to enjoy our wedding to the fullest from beginning to end without any worries.
As for florals, Angie and her team brought to life the bouquet and floral arch of my dreams!!! I have no knowledge on names of flowers, so I just gave her the gist of what I wanted and she sent pictures to make sure we were on the same page. She helped with every nitty gritty detail with enthusiasm and offered recommendations on things I had no clue about. It was so amazing to see it all come to life and blend in seamlessly at our venue. So many people came up to us asking about the florals and how beautiful they were. I loved my bouquet so much I currently have it as my lock screen on my phone. If you have a wedding or your friend's having a wedding or your friend's friend is having a wedding, hire them for both coordination and florals! There's really not many teams out there who can do both equally well. Thank you so much Angie + team!
KATHY + DAVID / JUNE 2022 / @UNIVERSITY CLUB IRVINE
PERFECTION. That's the word that comes to mind when we think about our flowers that Angie and her Beloved Events Team has made for our special day. We have seen Angie's work and wanted to give her full creativity and vision behind the wedding flowers. We know how risky it can be to give someone other than yourself full authority to create the vibe of your special day, but we knew we could trust her completely. We are so glad we did! She went above and beyond what we could've imagined our wedding to look like. Angie and her team completely transformed the venue into a complete beauty! All our guests were mesmerized by the flowers and some even called it ethereal. Her flower choices, design, and execution were perfect. Because of this team, we can proudly look back and say that our wedding was a beautiful and flawless one. THANK YOU ANGIE AND BELOVED EVENTS FLORAL TEAM! We highly recommend this floral team to bring your wedding to the next level.
BIANCA + BRIAN / Dec 2021 / @Ace Hotel Palm Springs
Working with Angie and her Team was one of the best decisions we've made. Not just through our wedding planning process. But in LIFE. Angie is such a sweet soul, with a heart so big and you can tell right away that she puts so much thought and effort into her couples. Since our first call, 9 months before our wedding, I felt like I was talking to a friend - not a vendor. Immediately, I could sense her passion for her craft and I knew right then and there that she was our girl. I provided Angie with a general mood board with some inspo pics and my wedding colors and she went ABOVE AND BEYOND with our flowers. She pulled colors I would have never even thought of but now, couldn't imagine our wedding without.
Angie has such raw talent for what she does, with an eye that picks up on even the smallest of details to tie everything together. She even drove out to Palm Springs with us a few months before the wedding so that she could see the event space and get a general idea of how she was planning on setting everything up. The week of our wedding, she sent me photos of the flowers she was planning to buy just to double check that it was in line with what I had envisioned. I appreciated these small gestures and throughout the entire planning process, I felt heard, taken care of and respected from beginning to end.
The day of, her team arrived promptly and the set up process was seamless and most importantly - they were CLEAN. I never really thought about how much work goes into floral arrangements and I was so impressed with her professionalism throughout and we are so honored to have been given the opportunity to work with her. If you are looking for the perfect florist for your wedding, Beloved Events Co. is the way to go. I have nothing but high praises for Angie and her Team and am still dreaming of our florals, to this day! Thank you Beloved Events, for making our wedding the best day ever!
RIZSA + ERIC / SEP 2022 / @HANGAR 21
We can’t put into words the amount of gratitude we have for the entire Beloved Events Co team. We were blessed to have been able to work with them for both our florals and coordination - they made wedding planning easy. From start to finish - I could not have asked for a more dedicated team to execute beyond expectations. Imagine your best, most truest friend that genuinely cared about seeing you happy and thought ahead for you so you wouldn’t stress about things last second - that’s what the Beloved team felt like to us.
For coordination, we worked more closely with Angie and Helen for details leading up to the wedding, but Sarah and even Simon really stepped up on our wedding day to help bring our vision to fruition. Angie was always very responsive to our emails, calls, and texts - which is one of the most valuable qualities to have in a wedding planner/coordinator. It helped build trust between us and ease our anxiety. She was patient, understanding, and kind. She was thorough, professional, and attentive to every single detail, big or small - including the ones my husband and I didn’t even think to think of! She had a ton of recommendations and tips on how to elevate our wedding, and never made us feel pressured or guilty for saying no if it wasn’t within our budget - another valuable quality you learn to appreciate as you come across vendors that try to upsell you on anything they can. Angie & Helen met with us in person to go over our timeline for the day, accompanied us on our venue tour/walk through, AND coordinated our rehearsal. There were 20 people total in our wedding party - all with wild personalities - but Angie and Helen remained calm, patient, and kind to each and every one of us. Their level of professionalism and efficiency directly reflects their passion and experience in the industry.
For florals, can I just say… WOW. Everything was all I ever wanted, and more!! Our venue was a blank canvas - but the florals in that space made it feel so complete. The costs were fair and comparable to other florists in the area. We discussed our budget with Angie, and she was always open to suggestions/requests we had. She sought clarification when she needed it and never assumed anything on our behalf. I’ve heard horror stories of boutonnières falling apart throughout the day - but ours held up during an excessive heat wave and a thousand hugs from loved ones. They looked elegant and delicate, but were assembled in a way that gave them maximum durability. My bridal bouquet ~ I’ll never get over it. The blooms chosen truly expressed my personality ~ it felt like the girls just knew me. Seeing everything in person for the first time, and now looking back at photos - I have no regrets choosing Beloved Events Co for florals and will recommend them for any special event! I am so thankful for the creative minds behind it all.
Angie ~~~ you have a gift. With that gift, you have a beautiful and loving heart, and a team of people with hearts just as pure. We're thankful for all the hard work you put into making our day a dream come true. For everything you did for us that we didn’t get to see but fully benefited from - I’ll never stop thanking you and praising your team. I gained a friend through it all. Wishing you nothing but love and happiness as you embark on your journey to parenthood with Simon.
JOANNE + CHRIS / Jan 2022 / @Lombardi House
Working with Angie and the Beloved team has been nothing but smooth sailing. From our first email to the very last detail of our wedding, you can really tell that Angie cares for the couple and our wedding- it's not just another event, another day of work for her. Even with 2022 being the busiest year of weddings in history, Angie was prompt with her responses and always dedicated the time we needed to feel taken care of. Working with her felt like catching up with an old friend... but a friend with endless knowledge and network for your wedding! All her vendor recommendations were amaaaaazing, and helped make wedding planning so easy and enjoyable. My fiance (now husband) and I went with the Lavender (partial coordination) package, and it was exactly what we wanted. I was a bride that needed to know every little detail and wanted to be involved in the planning process. Angie made sure I knew what was going on and worked with me to make sure every little detail was perfect.
The day of the wedding was truly where Beloved Event Co.'s talents shined! From the moment Angie and her team arrived, they made sure everything from the displays to table settings were laid out beautifully. The best part was that Angie was also our florist! I honestly didn't have big expectations because I'm not a big fan of flowers... but I think Angie changed that forever. The florals for my wedding were soooooo dreamy and beyond what I could have ever imagined. If you're going to get florals from Beloved, make sure to have a bouquet preservation plan before your wedding because you're going to want to save those flowers forever. Also, I know this isn't part of her job description, but she even helped ease my anxiety when our photographer got covid the week of the wedding, and it started to rain the morning of the wedding. If there was any type of issue during the wedding, I had no idea because Angie and her team took care of it. It truly was the wedding of our dreams, and we can honestly say it couldn't have happened without Angie and her team. I would 1000% recommend them to every single one of my friends and anyone who is planning a wedding. Seriously, the best coordination and florist in the business!
