Testimonials
“Samantha is an absolute dream, and was the blessing we didn’t realize we needed. In the midst of the pandemic wedding planning craze, Samantha came into our lives and instantly made them better. Samantha’s organization was key to everyone’s success in our wedding. Her timelines, check-ins, and patience all allowed for our vision to be brought to life. When hiring Samantha, you get so much more than a planner. She genuinely cares about all aspects of your event, from every fine detail to each big moment, and cares about your love as a couple. She is the professional every couple needs behind them on their big day. We truly had no idea what was going on behind the scenes, and just got to enjoy the day as it unfolded, and it was a dream all thanks to Sam! As at most events, issues arise but Samantha is your woman to problem solve and take on any and all challenges with grace and professionalism. Being a To Be Loved couple is an experience any couple would dream of! Samantha has truly become family, and will leave a lasting impact on any relationship she works with. To Be Loved by Samantha as a couple means your wedding is in the best hands, and will be cared for just as you had hoped. Hiring her was single handledly the best decision we made across our wedding planning process. We couldn’t have done it without her!”

“Samantha with To Be Loved Events would get 10 stars if they were available. It is such a gift to find someone who is so easy to work with, a great communicator, proactive, organized and so much more. As organized of a bride that I was, she was always 2 steps ahead of me. She executed all of my details and wedding vision exactly the way I had dreamt it. Having her coordinate the event allowed me to just be the bride and enjoy the entire evening without being stressed about any of the logistics. There is no one else I would recommend to help a Southern California bride make their dream a reality. She is a beautiful person inside and out, with a genuine soul and personality. So much love and admiration for Samantha and the work that she does.”

“I wish we could give more than 5 stars! Hiring Samantha and To Be Loved as our wedding coordinator was the best decision we made in our entire wedding planning process. She was always there when we had questions, needed advice on vendors, and really just guided us through everything. She read all the fine details in our contracts that we overlooked, and communicated this with us clearly and concisely. She really was ESSENTIAL to our wedding being so perfect. On the day of, she was attentive to every detail and worked so seamlessly with all of our vendors. For all the work she did, her rate was a complete bargain. If you're getting married in SoCal, Samantha and her crew at To Be Loved will make it truly perfect. 1000x recommend!”

“Samantha is truly made for this job! Not only were we impressed, but so many of our guests and especially our family and bridal party haven’t stopped talking about how amazing she is. We were both so calm the day of our wedding because we knew she had everything under control. Every detail was thought out and executed perfectly. We quite literally did not have one single hiccup on wedding day because of how well everything was planned so meticulously in the months and weeks leading up to our big day. Samantha will always be the best decision we made and we are so lucky not only that we chose her but that she also chose us!”
- Julia & Sam
“We hired Samantha as our wedding coordinator—and it was the best choice we made for our big day. We got married a week ago and are still basking in how incredible everything was, in large part because of Samantha! We selected the 60-day package and from the start, Samantha was organized, knowledgeable and professional. She kept us on track and literally saved the day a few times by pointing out details that my husband and I had missed. Samantha took over correspondence with the vendors, freeing up my husband and myself to simply be in the moment in the days/weeks leading up to the event. She was super responsive via text and email, fielding my questions and making me feel prepared and supported. Not only that, but she provided a calm, grounded presence leading up to the wedding and on the day itself. She was directive while still being completely professional and kind; which is such a valuable quality in an event coordinator. Our wedding timeline was smooth and seamless from start to finish, and we didn’t have to worry about a single thing on our wedding day because we were in Samantha’s capable hands! Do yourself a favor and book her for your big day.”
- Hilary & Matt
“Sam was everything we were looking for in a wedding planner - calm, supportive, and super organized. We can’t even count the number of times we said the wedding wouldn’t have happened without her. As two extraordinarily busy people, we knew we needed a wedding planner to help pull it together. With the wedding at a private residence, literally every detail had to be picked and brought in, and Sam made sure it all happened. She understood our vision and helped bring it to life. Throughout the year we worked together, she always brought us a couple options for vendors (but not too many :)), gave us her advice, and answered any questions we had to help us make the right choices. On the day of, I can’t even count the number of details she and her assistant paid attention to that we didn’t even think needed tending to, but that really made the event a level above and beyond elegant. Sam really was our rock throughout the process and we couldn’t be more grateful to have worked with her!!”
- Emily & Austin
“Samantha made our wedding day incredible! She is so easy to communicate with and always had ideas and solutions for any issue we encountered. Our wedding venue required us to provide everything and Samantha easily coordinated our many different vendors and ensured everyone was on the same page. When we had problems with other vendors, she stepped up. When we had last minute headcount changes due to COVID, Samantha handled it easily. On the day of the wedding I knew I could trust her to address any issues and make the right decisions. She ensured all design and decor was executed perfectly and the outcome was beautiful. We are SO grateful for Samantha and highly recommend her for any event!”
- Emily & Joel
“Samantha was such a delight to work with! From the moment we took on Samantha as our coordinator she made us feel at ease with the entire wedding planning process. Her knowledge, confidence and calm demeanor was so greatly appreciated, especially during such a hectic and momentous occasion. She had amazing suggestions, recommendations and connections to vendors who turned out to be just wonderful. Her attention to detail and organizational skills are unmatched. We could not have been any happier and absolutely could not have executed such a beautiful wedding without her. We 10,000% recommend anyone to use Samantha as their coordinator. You will be so relieved to know that there is someone out there you can trust with your wedding. Thank you for everything!”
- Amanda & Gil
“Samantha was INCREDIBLE. Seriously we kept saying throughout the entire wedding planning process what a blessing she was. She’s organized, detail oriented, knowledgeable, has great style, but most importantly is the only person we would trust with our big day. Our wedding had quite a bit of moving pieces, from numerous vendors to manage to last minute changes leading up to the wedding, all this while planning a wedding during the time of Covid. Samantha helped calm our nerves knowing she had it all under control. The day of the wedding went more smoothly than we could have ever imagined. Samantha and her team were a pure joy to work with. From big details to small, Samantha had it covered. She even made sure our drinks never ran dry and was the first one to share iPhone photos with us the next day. If you are looking for a planner I simply can’t recommend Samantha enough. Thank you for making our big day a dream come true!”
- Savanna & Jeff
“Samantha worked with us a couple months out from our wedding and did all of our day-of coordination. She was so sweet, so quick to respond to our messages, and we loved that she used Aisle Planner and her (very extensive!) timeline to keep everything incredibly organized throughout the planning process. When the day of our event finally came, she did a truly amazing job coordinating all of our vendors and making sure everything went smoothly - the event went off without a hitch and our bridal party still comments on how organized the event was! We're so thankful for her help answering questions and managing logistics for what can often be a very complex and overwhelming process. She handled every step with class and professionalism and we couldn't have pulled off the short planning process without her. Highly recommend her!”
- Amy & Chad
“Have you ever scrolled through Instagram and seen beautifully done reception tables? And think, "Ah, how stunning! Where can I get this? How can I make it mine?” Well, that’s what I did! And that’s how I stumbled upon Samantha. I reached out, and from then on she never stopped to amaze me. Her knowledge about weddings is immense. She made my simple and special ideas into a beautiful reality by contacting and referring me to the right vendors. Apart from that, she puts you at ease and communicates with you and your vendors to have a well coordinated wedding day. Overall, your wedding is a day to remember, and I will surely never forget mine because of all the work Samantha and her team put into my wedding, which flourished into the day of my dreams. My guests continue to rave about how everything turned out so beautifully and I couldn’t be any more pleased. I am still on cloud nine. Without any reservation, my husband and I recommend To Be Loved Events for your special day! You won't regret it!
- Yomayra & Larry
“Samantha went above and beyond to make sure that every last detail of our wedding was perfectly executed. Navigating the wedding process throughout the regulation changes of COVID was beyond difficult but Samantha handled everything gracefully, was there every step of the way and thought about things that would have easily been overlooked. She is organized, detail oriented, kind, and kept everything stress free on our special day. I highly highly recommend To Be Loved Events.”
- Ariel & Nick
“Samantha is a LIFE SAVER! I literally could not have planned, nor executed my wedding without her careful guidance and attention to detail. Any time I texted/called/emailed Sam was on it immediately and she managed any crisis that arose (we got married during a global pandemic, so you can only imagine!!) with grace and composure. I could not recommend Samantha any more highly! You will not regret hiring her for your wedding; in fact, with each day that passes you'll thank her more for being your right hand woman!!”
- Sara & Kaveh
“Wow, where do I even begin! Samantha is truly one of a kind. She is on top of everything and cares so much about making our vision come to life. During the planning process, she learned the way I worked to best fit my schedule, even if that meant she worked long days. She would stay up with me until midnight to let me know what she has been doing on her end and what my now husband and I needed to focus on. She made the whole planning process stress free because I trusted her 1,000%. The day of the wedding everything turned upside down, but Samantha and her assistant Kenzie handled everything with such grace. It was raining so we had to make a ton of last minute adjustments. The COVID-19 pandemic was beginning so that was chaos in itself. I was in tears the day before the wedding because I had to cancel my honeymoon and was so stressed out about everything that was going on in the world. Andrew and I have been together for over 11 years and we wanted our wedding day to be exactly how we imagined it. There was so much emotion leading up to the big day because of all of the outside factors going on. Samantha was so calming, held my hand, and assured me everything was going to be fine. The wedding turned out just as I imagined and every little detail was perfect because of Samantha's drive and positive attitude. I am so grateful I not only had the most amazing wedding coordinator ever, but I gained a friend for a lifetime! Thank you again so much Samantha and team! To Be Loved Events is definitely my go to with any event planning needed from now on!”
- Karissa & Andrew
“We are so appreciative of Samantha! She was the best wedding coordinator! She took my ideas and helped put them into place with such attention to detail. She provided great feedback when I couldn't make decisions and was always very honest about things that would or wouldn't work. When we had to cancel our first wedding, she called every vendor and coordinated a new date so that I did not have to. It was such a relief to know that it was taken care of in a time of uncertainty. I would 100% hire her again and recommend her to all of my family and friends!”
- Kaitlyn & Jordan
“To Be Loved Events coordinated our wedding on November 28, 2020. We were so blessed to have them help us coordinate our special day during this pandemic. We loved their professionalism and attention to detail when it came to everything involving our ceremony and reception. They were truly amazing and went above and beyond to make everything perfect.”
- Jackie & Juan
“Samantha is the most wonderful, organized and dedicated coordinator!!! She took all of my vendors, design concepts, ideas and Pinterest boards and turned them into a vision. She was with us every step of the way, making sure we were on target with our to do checklist. She took my emails, calls and texts all hours of the day and night 7 days a week. Our wedding turned out even more beautiful than we could have ever imagined and my husband and I are so so grateful for her and her assistants that gave their time to help make our day so wonderful. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!”
- Kira & Anthony
“Every time I think of putting into words how awesome Sam was, my mind starts racing with a thousand thoughts and I’m at a loss for words. From the attention to detail to her just simply really, really caring about us having the best day ever. My husband and I still feel like we’re dreaming, everything went so smooth, everything was so well taken care of. I had compliments from my family and guest saying how amazing my coordinator was. I will forever be thankful for all that To Be Loved Events did!”
- Jessica & Jossue
“We hired To Be Loved Events with only about 2 months to go before our big day. We could not have been more pleased! Samantha made our day seem effortless even with all of our last minute preparations. On the day of our wedding, Samantha and her team arrived earlier than expected and took our vision of what we wanted on each table and made it even better than we had envisioned. Her team was attentive and and made it so that we could actually enjoy our special day! I would be happy to recommend them to anyone getting married!”
