Wedding Planning Experience
Emily and her LVLF crew are seriously the best!!! We hired Emily and her crew for same day services/planning for our wedding day and they did not disappoint at all! From our very first meeting, Emily was on top of everything - from communicating with me/vendors as well as organizing literally everything from our timeline to making sure that my husband and I had food waiting for us in our hotel room AFTER our wedding!! Trust me when I say that I was SO relieved when I saw Emily and her team on the wedding day. The morning of the wedding was so stressful but everything went so smoothly after they showed up. She even made sure to hold onto our phones so we wouldn't lose it! My ONLY regret is not hiring her SOONER, thinking that I could handle most things on my own. Planning a wedding alone is super stressful but having a legit/amazing planner(s) are soooo helpful! Thank you LVLF!!! You all are amazing!!! -

When my husband and I got engaged back in 2021, we had no idea where to start with wedding planning. We had already picked out a date and had a good amount of time before we officially tied the knot. Finding the right wedding planner was very important. We had no idea where to begin with that process. Thankfully and luckily, my husband and Chiell Ann were friends from college, which made the process easier.
We completed an initial consultation with Chiell Ann from LVLF to discuss our planning options. From that initial consultation, we knew LVLF was the perfect fit so we decided to proceed with their services. Long story short, it was the best decision ever!
Throughout our wedding planning journey, Chiell Ann and her team was no less than amazing. They were professional, very communicative, creative, and always available for questions. We had monthly meetings to discuss any changes and Chiell Ann was always on top of deadlines to ensure we had everything needed before our wedding date. With their expertise, LVLF brought our vision to life. On our wedding day, everything went according to plan and it was PERFECTION! Thank you LVLF!
We highly recommend Love and Life Events for your planning needs! You won't regret it. -

When planning a wedding, I always thought I didn't need a planner because in my head it was just vendor organization. Thank the Lordt I did not listen to myself. HAHA! Reasons why Adrian and I needed a planner, 1) We wanted to plan a wedding in like 6 months, 2) We live in Portland, Oregon and wanted our wedding to be in Orange County, CA, 3) We are busy as hell.
So after some Google searching, we found Cheill of Love and Life Events. We interviewed a ton of wedding planners, but Cheill stood out the most because she felt like our friend and understood our needs. The fact that she was Filipino and understood the culture, which was a huge plus.
The entire planning process for them must have been a pain in the freaking ass because working with Adrian and I was not easy. LOL. We were busy, we didn't answer a lot of messages on time. So I greatly appreciate Cheill and the team's patience with us. However, I had so much faith in LVLF, I knew our wedding was gonna rock out and be epic. Planning a wedding out of state means we were really relying on LVLF's knowledge of the wedding industry in Orange County, in which they really pulled through. They helped us find our venue, photographer, photo booth, catering, etc. Without them, we would've been lost in the sauce on google looking for vendors. A lot of the vendors we worked with were people they knew, so that made me feel at ease because of the positive history they had with them.
Chiell and her team go above and beyond. Again, being out of state. She met with my family and looked at venues while facetiming me. During our tasting, she had her associate Dalavy there with me to document everything and hound me down for details. We would not have accomplished what we wanted in a wedding without LVLF. Our monthly meetings with Chiell were great. In the time we worked together, you know you got more than just a wedding planner. She was our friend, our therapist when hiccups pop-up, and our biggest cheerleader.
On the day of the wedding, LVLF truly shined. When Cheill said in the beginning that on our day, we would not have to worry about anything. She really meant that. We were so freaking chill that whole day! Chiell, Makayla, and Dalavy were basically our wedding shamans for the day. I got to experience and savor our wedding day. They made sure we were on time and on track. All I had to do was follow the leader. The team made our day seem so seamless and easy, but I know there was a lot of work going on behind the scenes. They made sure we were eating and drinking, carved some time out so that we can be in silence, helped me change into my Vietnamese outfit for my table visits. So we cannot thank them enough for all the hard work they were doing. I even forgot about our late night ramen bar, but Chiell said do not worry and made it work. Which was also the biggest highlight of the night. Everyone was saying that the ramen bar was the best late night thing ever. They are miracle workers.
A week after the wedding, Cheill sent us this awesome BTS folder of videos and pictures of our wedding. There is this one video that I will forever cherish. It was our first dance, and someone was filming from the loft, and everyone is singing along. It was perfect.
Adrian and I cannot express enough how much we appreciate Cheill, Dalavy, and Makayla for the whole process and our big day. You guys are a part of our story now.
Do not hesitate. Hire Chiell and LVLF. -

A friend recommended Chiell and we began to worked with Chiell and her team a year before our wedding. Chiell consistently held meetings each month with us and promptly answered all our questions. She made us feel at ease and gave advice whenever we’re stuck. Our wedding turned out to be more beautiful than imagined and everything went smoothly. As the bride, I felt more confident and stress free on our special day. Chiell and her team paid very close attention to details like the designs, arrangement and especially the last changes to the seating tables; they would do it all! We still get compliments on our wedding and we’re so happy with Loveandlife.events! -

Absolute BEST
Chiell Ann and her team were perfect in the literal sense as nothing went wrong on their watch. If we were to have any special event again, we’d book LVLF every time. With how stressful weddings can be (the amount of money invested + the time spent to plan a whole wedding day), every time we met and discussed things with LVLF, we left each conversation at ease as our anxiety levels reduced which is arguably one of my favorite things about them. Chiell Ann was well-communicative, professional, and easily approachable that we never had a doubt in our mind that her team would be able to pull off our wedding.
Our meetings leading up to the meeting, when providing all our details, she kindly made great suggestions and helped us outweigh our options. She also provided us a great network of vendors which we ended up using her recommended florists. She represented us well when up working with and communicating with other vendors. She was thorough and comprehensive making sure we covered all our bases all while having a calm and collected demeanor. Her positive and proactive attitude were consistent throughout.
This energy was apparent when she ran us through rehearsal and especially when the pressure turned up a notch on wedding day. The team was outstanding - like allstars, they performed and executed flawlessly that many of our guests noticed, complimenting the timeline of events and the seamless transitions. They shined when needing to corral our wedding party for our photoshoot or proceed our guests to the next thing (i.e. cocktail hour, group pictures, dances, speeches, etc.). Outside of that, many things were invisible to my bride and I because we never worried that things would get done - making sure our DIY signage was set up, our plating was presented how my wife envisioned, making sure all our vendors were paid and several other things they helped with throughout the night.
On top of them making us feel at ease, my other favorite thing was their willingness to be present on our day as I asked them to join us in our photo booth for a few pictures which I am grateful for being able to have a memory with them. The day went off oh so perfect and if I weren’t so caught up with all our guests, I wished that they had a good time and could partake in as much fun as we had. We are overjoyed to have had them there and we’ll forever feel indebted to them. They deserve all good things that come to them. -

LVLF Events Team is a dream team - absolutely amazing!
My husband and I don’t have enough words to say about how amazing our experience with Chiell and the entire LVLF Events team was. We feel so fortunate to have found her and be able to have her help us with our wedding. Honestly, I was so scared back then on how everything will work because me and my now husband were so busy with work plus I am also worried if someone was still willing to help us considering that we were on a shorter time frame to get everything planned and needed a lot of guidance. But Chiell and her team are heaven sent. I still remember my phone call with her and with a handful of details from our conversation she was able to understand the overall vision and aesthetic we were going for, and then blew us away with her perfect execution of everything. It was superb and beyond what we imagined: a beautiful and elegant microwedding! Our wedding was at a restaurant and she worked miracles with the space. Although she constantly communicates with us, we didn’t really have a chance to check with her what the set up will look like because of how busy we were, not until our wedding day. We just simply gave our full trust to their team and ladies and gentlemen, I kid you not, they did not disappoint. Everything is spectacularly beautiful! Chiell was also consistently mindful of all aspects of pricing. She kept us well under budget - which we really loved about her too. We are forever grateful to her and her team. We strongly recommend LVLF Events for anyone seeking professional coordination of wedding, engagement, baby showers - and anything that requires attention to detail! They are the best of the best. -

Working with Chiell and the LVLF team was absolutely incredible! From helping to plan all the important details leading up, to flawlessly orchestrating our entire wedding day, Chiell was always so kind, supportive, and thoughtful. Her team went above and beyond on our wedding day, from arranging beautiful decor to keeping our wedding party organized and smiling. I am still completely wow'd by the experience! Not only is Chiell one of the nicest humans around, it is clear her and her team truly care about their clients. Friends and family were blown away and so much of that is thanks to Chiell and her incredible team! Thank you for everything, we will forever cherish these memories from our wedding day that your team helped so beautifully bring to life! Still the best day EVER! -

Chiell and her team at LVLF went above and beyond for our wedding.
My husband and I interviewed a bunch of day-of / wedding planners to help us plan and run the show on our day-of and fell in love with Chiell. She is incredibly professional and knows what she is doing all while helping you feel at ease – like a best friend helping you plan your wedding. Our day of was perfect with Chiell, everything went so smoothly and most importantly my husband, our guests, and I had so much fun. I would highly recommend Chiell and her team to other couples she helped us prepare and made us feel so comfortable that the day of was 100% stress free. We are so grateful to her and her team for helping us execute such a beautiful wedding. -

Chiell and her team did an amazing job with coordinating our wedding. I was extremely nervous because we had a lot of moving parts. We had a wedding singer. DJ, Polynesian Dancers, and 3 wedding dress changes. They handled everything with such professionalism and everything ran so seamlessly. Chiell was available to speak anytime I had questions and we had several zoom calls leading up to the wedding to go over our timeline. We were ahead of schedule the entire day of our wedding!! Our guest have said they have never seen a wedding so organized. Her team made sure everyone and everything was taken care of the entire night. Chiell made our big day stress free and I cannot recommend her and her team enough. -

Everyone stresses out about their weddings. We weren’t the exception. In my wildest dreams I couldn’t have imagined how smooth our wedding would actually go. Kiana and the rest of her team KILLED it. From start to finish they honestly executed everything to perfection and left no stone unturned. I would recommend them 10xs over! You won’t be sorry! -

John Sent on 05/24/2022Best wedding decision ever
My now husband and I were going back and forth on deciding if we wanted a wedding coordinator for our big day because our wedding venue provided a ‘day of coordinator’ we ultimately decided to go for it because we wanted a team there that had only our best interest at heart and after the wedding all we could talk about was how hiring Chiell and her team was the best thing we could've done for ourselves.
As soon as we started working with Chiell (about a year before wedding day) she was nothing short of professional, warm, caring, and organized!! She had a program set up that made wedding planning so much easier, we had to do lists, seating arrangements, and budget planners. Whenever I had pre wedding stress our monthly zoom calls helped put my anxiety at ease.
Chiell and her team really shined on our wedding day. The month before the wedding we finalized everything and when it came to the big day they made everything happen perfectly. My husband and I were stress free all day and had the time of our lives because they worked together so seamlessly and effortlessly. I even had guests comment on how smoothly our day ran.
I’ve recommended Chiell to everyone I know that’s getting married because I truly think our day wouldnt have been as amazing without her! -

Cool, calm, collected, Chiell. The Love & Life events staff made miracles happen and was one of the best decisions my wife and I made when it came to making our wedding day magical.
Throughout the months of preparation and planning, Chiell, one of the founders, was instrumental in helping create the vision of the day and acquiring all the necessary items to make the day run as smoothly as possible.
She is very friendly, easy to work with, knowledgeable in her field, and the central hub of our entire celebration. She made sure all the details that my wife spent months creating and collecting got set where they needed to go for our 200 guest wedding. She was a great communicator and kept us on top of what was happening during the day.
Even with all the planning, there’s no day that goes without its hiccups and she handled all the unwanted surprises like a champ and had great problem solving abilities to keep the guests and more importantly, the wife, happy.
The entire team she brought was hard working, extremely professional, detail oriented, very accommodating and really stuck to the highest standards of service I could imagine. She’s someone who does what she does so well and also is so warm and kind. I highly recommend anyone looking for a planner to trust in Love & Life Events and hire them for their important day. They’ll not only to help create an amazing vision for the day but also allow you to enjoy it to its fullest by running things behind the scenes.

Autumn Wedding
Love and Life Events are so fantastic to work with! Chiell, Rania and Nina were AMAZING! They were incredible organized prior to the wedding by making me fill out excel sheets on guests, tables, inventory, timeline, etc. They helped coordinate all my vendors on my wedding day and helped us stay on time with photos, dinner, speeches, performances, etc. Chiell also helped me make signs for all the tables, rent table number signs, and let me rent the copper Welcome Sign, which ended up being more affordable than buying one. Chiell also dressed up our sweetheart table ;) What a great team! Highly recommend! -

Best Decision We Made For Our Wedding!
Choosing Love and Life Events to coordinate our wedding day was one of the best decisions we made! For our initial planning, we worked with Chiell Ann. She was extremely helpful in guiding us to make confident decisions based on what we told her what our priorities and preferences would be for our big day. She made sure to check in with us throughout our entire pre-wedding period and offered her expertise whenever we ran into roadblocks.
In the weeks leading up to our wedding day, Emily took the lead. She was nothing short of amazing! She helped us finalize all of our smaller details, took over final communications with all of our vendors, and created an incredibly detailed timeline for the entire wedding day.
On the day-of, Emily was able to keep both of us and our families on schedule, she calmly and efficiently solved any problem that came up, and constantly checked in to see if we needed anything. Throughout the day, we felt so taken care of and were able to fully enjoy our special day all thanks to their attention to detail, hard work, and genuine care. We really can’t thank them enough! Our wedding would not have run so smoothly and so effortlessly without them! We absolutely recommend them!Love and Life Events's reply:
It was a complete honor being part of your big day, thank you for being so easy and understanding to work with throughout the pandemic. Our team had the best time and so happy on your day of, it was one to remember forever! Much love to you and Branlee! -

Very easy and calm wedding planning experience
We found Love and Life events last year on Instagram. Chiell helped us plan for almost a year our outdoor Microwedding in Santa Barbara. It was a dream come true and the "Pinterest wedding of our dreams."Despite all the accommodations we asked for such as, organizing seating and family photos to avoid family conflicts, Chiell was very understanding and sensitive to our needs. Without even having to ask, Chiell was in communication with all of our vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly on the big day. I also especially liked the Aisle Planner site that we organized our wedding details on and put all of our to-do lists, vendor contact info, guest list, and timeline on. It made it easier for all of us To update each other on any changes and communicate with each other. Our wedding day and wedding planning was honesty calm, easy, and relaxing that we couldn't have asked for anything better. On top of all of that, she brought her assistant Emily, who was so helpful, hospitable, and communicated professionally and calm to all of our guests. Thank you Chiell and Emily for making our day special.Love and Life Events's reply:
Already miss planning with you both, Andrea & Henry! Thank you for a wonderful planning journey together! I loved all the details that you had in mind and how we worked so well to put it together. It was definitely our honor and pleasure to have met your whole family and enjoy the whole day! It was soo beautiful and fun!! We hope to meet you again in the future and cant wait for your new bundle of joy to arrive! -

Chiell was my fairy godmother!
CHIELL WAS A MAGICIAN! MY FAIRY GODMOTHER! MY ANGEL!
Guys, let me explain!
My event was on a Tuesday night. Chiell and I talked on Friday! She sent me a design board on Sat night with very little directions provided by me. She and Emily pulled everything together within my budget in two days! When I showed up to the restaurant, my jaw was dropped. The venue was beautifully decorated and the attention to details blow my mind. Such execution took not only talents, but extreme professionalism, dedication and someone who truly cared. The fact that she took me on as a client with such a short notice, I almost cried. And then she went above and beyond to make my event so special, beautiful and memorable, I couldn't thank her and her team enough.
Please don't judge me! At this point you must be thinking, "WTF, who decides to get married in 4 days!" I know at least no one at WEDDING WIRE here plans a wedding in 4 days, not to mention I didn't even have a wedding dress 2 days before the ceremony. LOL! I wanted it as chill and stress free as possible, courthouse would do it if that meant no stress! But my friends won't allow it. Everyone was asking what to help and how to decorate! Therefore I reached out to Chiell, she took all my stress away. I never met her prior to the special day! We only talked once and texted each other in those few days that she planned and executed everything for me. If she wasn't an angel, a magician or my fair godmother, I didn't know what she was.
Chiell was hired to decorate the restaurant venue. She contacted the venue and coordinate other bakeries for our dessert. She designed the mood board, pulled all the resources together, set up and decorated our dinner of 25 guests and came back at the end of the event to help break down the set up. She even sent us home with the flowers.
Pictures speak a thousand words! In 2 days, with a small budget, she made our day extra special!Love and Life Events's reply:
You are a dream!!! Definitely made me tear up and so happy to have made your special night come true! I had so much fun putting together our ideas (quickly) but definitely kept me on my toes! Loved how it all turned out and so happy to meet your family and friends. Thank you for trusting in us and this amazing review. Hope to celebrate with you again in the future! -
