    Thank you Cindy and Marina!!

    This review is looong overdue! I worked with Cindy and her team for day-of coordination for my wedding in October 2023 at the Maxwell House in Pasadena. Even though the job was "day of", Cindy did a fantastic job of letting us know exactly what we needed from our vendors and contracts months ahead. We even used quite a few vendors from her recommended list and it simplified the research process for us. She was also very timely with her email responses, reviewed our contracts, and created our seating layout.

    When it came to the day of, there were no major hiccups at all! Cindy and Marina were extremely organized, professional, structured and fun! Transitions from ceremony to cocktail hour to post-dinner activities were seamless and I didn't have to think about anything else but being in the moment on my big day. I would recommend Ink and Rose events to anyone considering hiring planning services!

    Helped this overwhelm/Type A bride! Amazing team!

    I have been planning my wedding for 17 months and I’m a type A/overwhelm bride and always did all my planning and events. I never knew I needed a wedding coordinator until my coworker introduced me to Cindy, let alone what a wedding coordinator does. My consultation,
    Cindy was helping me take the weigh off my shoulders. She is really organize, professional, realistic, and honest. Her whole team is flexible, creative, and punctual. They were always available to answer any of my questions! From all her organized documents she required (this is how she gets to know you and your fiancé, your family, what exactly you want for your wedding, helping you with every details of what things you need to do,
    Dress fittings, etc). She was perfect for this overwhelmed bride! Cindy and her team helped make my and my fiancé’s wedding dreams come true. From coming to venue,
    Rehearsal, having honest opinions and helping ease my mind throughout the months, They made sure everything went so smoothly and that my big day, I would enjoy the moment and not stress. I’m so glad I hired Cindy and her team, I couldn’t have done it without them.

    Professional and thoughtful

    My husband and I married in October 2023 and we used Ink & Rose Events. Cindy and her team kept the event running smoothly and we actually barely noticed they were even there. We really appreciated their professionalism. Cindy helped me personally with little things you wouldn't even think of on the day of the wedding. She even held my heavy bouquet to give my arm a break during photos! Thank you again for all of your hard work and dedication.

    The reason we had the wedding of our dreams!!!

    Thank you Marina and Lily at Ink & Rose Events! We hired Ink & Rose as our day of coordinators for our wedding at the Maxwell House. We originally thought this service wouldn't be needed for our intimate-ish wedding but we are SO glad we did! This took so much pressure off of us and helped us to be more in the moment on our day.  Marina and Lily were our day of coordinators and they went above and beyond- they were the reason everything went so smoothly. Marina reached out a few months before and helped us with our timeline, vendors, and small details that I didn't even think about which was so helpful. They left no detail overlooked. They were absolutely amazing and made our day extra special. If I could do it all over again I would have hired them for full on planning! Thank you so much!

    They make enchanting weddings happen

    My husband has stage 4 pancreatic cancer. My daughter just got engaged and needed to have her wedding quickly. She wanted her dad to walk her down the aisle and father daughter dance. My wedding planner worked with the Langham hotel and created the most beautiful wedding for my daughter in 30 days. I don’t know what I would have done without them. Every detail they were on top of. It was a lot of work to create a major wedding event in 30 days. They were one of the reasons that it was perfect. I thank them so much.

    Wedding coordinator extraordinaires!

    I hired Ink and Rose events for my wedding at Maxwell House. My first point of contact was Cindy and she introduced me to Marina who took care of every detail of the day so I didn't have to. They were wonderful and asked all the right questions so my wedding was just what I wanted it to be. Highly recommend them as your wedding/event coordinator!

    No Detail left Undone

    Working with Cindy & her amazing team at Ink & Roses was like working with dear friends. They made the wedding planninng process joyful and fun. I work full time and I’m extremely detailed Virgo. Cindy made sure No detail was left undone. In fact, the end result far surpassed my wedding dreams. It was just perfect. Two weeks later I am still getting compliments on the planning, decor, vendors and venue. Cindy helped navigate me through each decision, allocate monies in my best interest and streamline the whole day. She even attended my dress fiiting in New York, which was such a special treat. I would highly recommend her outstanding services.

    Cindy and her team are truly wonderful

    We could not have planned our wedding without the amazing help of Cindy, Marina and the team. We planned our wedding from the other side of the US, and through her clear communication and regular check-ins, we knew we were in great hands from the very beginning. Ink and Rose clearly has a lot of experience with planning weddings, from asking us questions we had never even considered, listening to all of our individual concerns, and reliably taking care of any sudden problems. If it were possible, I'd even think they made the rain stop for our wedding day. We could not be happier with Ink and Rose as our wedding coordinators, and they are worth every penny of their already reasonable cost.

    An Amazing Planner!

    I found our venue, The Maxwell House, on wedding wire. And from TMH open house I met Cindy! She was amazing in helping us get a wedding and reception planned out in 4 months time! Professional, fun, and organized. If you are not the best planner- you NEED Cindy to get it all done and keep you organized! If you are like me, Type A and detail oriented, Cindy will be speaking your language! She is incredibly organized and passionate at what she does and it shows in all the details. She has great staff and vendors she works well with. She has strong communication and is open to feedback. i would recommend her to anyone!

    A Wedding Savior!

    I'll be honest, me and my wife thought we could do a lot of the planning ourselves, but we knew we needed a coordinator to help with the day-of work. Little did we know how vastly unprepared we were for it. That's where Cindy stepped in and, without her, we're not even sure if our wedding would've happened at all. We encountered so many obstacles we weren't prepared for and Cindy and her team saved our hides in ways we'll be forever indebted to her for. Her experience, organizational prowess, and calm, yet stern, and positive demeanor is exactly what we needed to guide us in having the best wedding day possible. When our wedding day had to unexpectedly shift, it rocked us to our core, and she was there to hold us together to give us the motivation and boost we needed to keep going. Cindy was an invaluable person to have our back, from offering helpful suggestions for set up at our venue to presenting new ideas that we never thought of to help save our original dates engraved on our rings to stay true. On the day of, everything ran like clockwork. Even our DJ told us how shocked he was with how well everything was ran, and you know that he's seen plenty of wedding stories. This is all before I even tell you that a portion of her fees go towards donating to a local pet shelter in your name. Cindy rocks and was hands down a major key player who was excellent through and through.

    Amazing value

    Cindy was amazing to work with, and I truly feel like we could not have had our wedding without her! We really felt like we were in over our heads, and Cindy guided us through it all, from excellent vendor recommendations to last minute touches (literally the day of the wedding) that we had forgotten. If I could back in time and do it all over again, I would hire Cindy for the full coverage package, as opposed to the middle package that we used. Absolutely recommend Ink and Roses for your wedding coordinator!

    HIRE HIRE HIRE from the start!

    Cindy was AHHHHHMAZING! I told my wife when we planned our wedding I wanted to have zero regrets. But there was one big one and that was being "cheap", not understanding the value of a wedding planner or coordinator for the ENTIRE event. My focus was and so I thought it should be only the day of and making sure my wife was attended to and everything was perfect the day of. Honestly you can not put a cost on having someone so experienced as Cindy and her team to help and guide you through the entire process. If I could turn back time would have hired Ink & Rose from the beginning. She will save you money with her knowledge, tips and tricks that will in turn pay for her services and then some. Not to mention saving you all the headaches of trying to set up vendors your self and get everyone in line.

    Cindy was so unbelievably easy to work with, get a hold of and completely understood our needs. My wife is the type that can't explain her self but wants everything a particular way and I am super detailed that I have to do it my self. Simply said we are two control nuts that Cindy saw our vision and executed our day to the tee and dotted the I's.

    Cindy's attention to detail, overall experience, partnership with other vendors and most importantly Cindy as a person is a great and kind individual that shows and is felt when working with her. Thank you for our wonderful day that we will never forget!

    The absolute best

    Cindy, Karla, and the entire team at Ink & Rose Events are an absolute joy to work with! Throughout the entire process, from the beginning of planning up through our special day, they were incredibly organized and detailed, taking so much stress off our shoulders. They're well connected to other wedding vendors in the LA area and assembled an all star team of florists, rental companies, cake bakers, and photo booth vendors to bring our wedding to life. Cindy and team are also sensitive to difficult family dynamics, as well as the needs of LGBTQ+ couples like my partner and I.

    We really couldn't have asked for a more professional, compassionate, and kind wedding planning team. Ink & Rose is the best!

    Cindy is amazing!!! Wouldnt change a thing!

    Working with Cindy was an amazing experience! We had no clue where to start once we started planning and she was our guide through everything!

    Cindy was great through planning and the day of the wedding! We had a last minute wardrobe malfunction with the cape/veil and she was able to fix it within minutes!

    Every second (even the stressful ones) spent with her was great and fun! She will always be a part of our special day!!

    Ultimate Wedding Experience

    Cindy was hired just 6 weeks before my daughter’s wedding, when we realized our existing coordinator was not working out. She is thorough and supportive from start to finish, and immediately relieved the stress that had been building up before the big day. She has an abundance of vendor connections, and she and her team allowed us to enjoy the greatest day of my daughter’s life, with no worries about set up, decor, photography scheduling, or even packing up at the end of the day - they handled it all. No task is too small or too big - and there is nothing else to say except that this was the best decision we made for the wedding.

    Ink & Rose made our wedding PERFECT!

    We hired Cindy eight months]before our wedding — we wanted someone who could help us stay on target in the weeks leading up to the special day, but also someone to be there “on the day” to make our lives easier and take the stress off our shoulders. And we got exactly what we wanted and MORE from her and her team of professionals! Cindy’s planning system involved monthly phone call check-ins where she would get to learn about us, our wedding, and what our vision was. She brought a wealth of experience, knowledge, and respectfulness to these conversations and always had helpful tips and suggestions for things we should be considering and working on to get ready for the big day. The month of the wedding, she became fully involved in the prep phase. She came to our venue for our tasting and fostered a good relationship with the location rep. And afterwards, she reached out to all of our outside venues and helped coordinate them. Cindy’s big focus is on creating a perfect timeline and schedule in advance so that the day goes off without a hitch. She is very detail oriented in the best way, and takes many variables into consideration that will make your eventual wedding day run so smoothly — you’ll be very glad you have her there. At the wedding, Cindy presented herself as a delightful and courteous professional who kept us on schedule and always made sure that we were having the time of our lives, while her and her team facilitated all the behind-the-scenes magic.

    When you work with Cindy know that you’ll be working with a personable, supportive, and kind wedding planner who not only knows what they’re doing, but will work with you to get the best outcome that YOU want.

    Go With Cindy, You Won’t Be Sorry!

    Cindy is the ultimate wedding planner! She worked closely with my daughter from the first moments of her wedding journey. I cannot say enough about her attention to detail throughout the process. She’s superhuman! She brought many things to our attention that we may never have thought of. She is an advocate for the bride, but made this MOB very happy. Cindy and staff worked tirelessly the evening of the wedding. She was organized and in charge without being intrusive. We had a tremendously positive experience!!

    Cindy Can Do it ALL!

    Cindy Arenas and her team are the absolute best! We hired Cindy and her team for our day of coordinator, and she went above and beyond the "day of"! Not only did Cindy make our wedding day flow smooth and perfect, we also had the pleasure of her officiating our ceremony.  Cindy is kind, extremely detail oriented, perfectly organized, funny, and very professional.   She was willing to do anything it took to make sure my now husband and I had an unforgettable day.  You can stop your search for a coordinator now, because Cindy is your girl!!

    Detailed-oriented coordinator who made sure no detail was overlooked!

    Cindy was my day-of wedding coordinator for our wedding on 5/16/2021. Throughout the process planning the wedding, it was so nice to have her on my side as I navigated the process of putting on a pandemic wedding where the rules were ever-shifting! Cindy made sure that no detail was overlooked for the day, from creating vendor contact lists to making sure the table settings looked just right. She and her associate Karen ran the day efficiently and made sure my husband and I were always happy and enjoying the day. It was so appreciated that Cindy made sure we had fun and could relax! Everything was set up and broken down to perfection- I felt like I could just enjoy our day and not worry about anything not happening on time or being just right. Thank you so much for helping us plan and execute a perfect wedding day!

    Elaborate planning and beyond!

    Cindy wants nothing more than to see her couples BEAMING with happiness, love and NO STRESS. She not only provides the best service you will ever see, but she goes above and beyond her stated duties. She will literally fight for you if need be. The 13 months she was helping us plan our magical day went so smoothly. People kept asking me how I remained calm through it all, I can easily say that is because of Cindy Arenas and her excellent team at Ink and Rose Events! We are incredibly grateful for her and definitely made the best decision in hiring her. See for yourself, you will be so happy you did.

    Definitely Needed

    Ink and Rose is an amazing choice for wedding coordination. Not only do you feel comfortable with Cindy, but confident that the day will run smooth (or smoothly enough to not notice). 10/10 recommend. If you're on the fence, or think you can do it all yourself, take a step back and think about how much you're going to want to enjoy your day. Cindy will help you achieve that. Pays attention to detail, kind, and executes the vision. Truly amazing!

    Detail Oriented

    Cindy did a great job leading up to our wedding to make sure she knew my vision and to make sure she could make my vision happy!! She ran around all day getting things accomplished before the wedding began and stayed on top of her game throughout the remainder of the day and throughout the rest of the night!! HIRE CINDY as your coordinator!! She doesn’t disappoint!

    SO amazing!!

    Cindy from Ink & Rose Events was absolutely amazing!! I just got married on October 4th and she was a complete breath of fresh air! I pride myself in being a planner and detailed, but Cindy thought of things that didn't even cross my mind! She literally crosschecked everything and she went above and beyond!! And she does it all in a professional, yet considerate and precise manner! I was so at ease on my BIG DAY because of Cindy!! Everything was absolutely beautiful and I was able to truly just relax and enjoy the ride because of her and her detail orientation and precision! I highly recommend if you are planning a wedding, please utilize Cindy and her services! She is SO worth it!

    Cindy is amazing!

    I highly recommend Cindy as your wedding planner. She was so wonderful to work with. Very understanding and most of all very patient and efficient. Planning a wedding is very hard to do, without Cindy i don't think my wedding would have been soo beautiful. She definitely went above & beyond for me! So much that she wasn’t only my wedding planner, but she also became my officiant! Cindy was always available when I needed her, & responded quick! I highly recommend her for your big day! She will NOT disappoint you!!!
