    Amazing Coordinator, Amazing Wedding!

    Emily was our coordinator, and she did an amazing job!!! She was new when we first started working with her, but she exceeded our expectations. She is professional, organized, communicative, and has great time management skills. Emily helped make our wedding day perfect! We had a lot of DIY decorations that she helped set up, and everything turned out amazing. She even decorated our cake because the bakery forgot to, and it was beautiful! My family and bridal party raved about how great Emily was as well. Thank you, Emily!

    Michele, the owner is amazing as well!

    Mia Bella Weddings & Events's reply:

    Thank you so much Lena for trusting in Emily. She loved being a part of your day and we are so happy that you, Aaron, your family, and friends had an amazing experience. We wish you and Aaron all the best always!

    So grateful

    We are beyond grateful for our incredible planner, Leeron. We could not have imagined a better wedding day and so much of it was thanks to her. Throughout the wedding planning process, from the start, Leeron was not only amazingly knowledgeable and supportive, but she was also so ecstatic for us as a couple. On our wedding day, there were multiple times where she went above and beyond supporting me as the bride. At every event throughout the day she was one step ahead of us at all times. As someone who was very nervous and hoping everything went well, I felt so confident and reassured by her. It made planning so so simple because of her amazing communication with us, and between us and our vendors. At the end of our wedding we had multiple friends ask if Leeron would help with their future weddings! We are eternally grateful and loved working with the most kind person in the industry.

    Emily was so amazing and we were so lucky to have her!

    We had the pleasure of having Emily as our coordinator and she was nothing short of amazing! Leading up to the wedding she was always available for any questions we had. During our wedding she stepped up in so many ways and made our entire day go smoothly without any bumps. It was such a pleasure having her apart of our special day and anyone would be lucky to have her as their coordinator!!

    Such a smooth experience working with Michelle and her team

    As a wedding photographer, I work with a lot of different planners, and Michelle is by far one of the best! She always goes above and beyond for her couples. She is so on it with her communication leading up to the wedding and makes sure that all of your vendors are on the same page. On the wedding day she is always close by with a smile on her face and ready to work some magic to make a day go perfectly smoothly. Additionally, she has an incredibly friendly disposition and is the exact kind of energy you want present at your wedding!

    Highly recommend!

    From the start we had great communication with Mia Bella. Katie and Emily were both amazing, we had to switch coordinators midway and they made sure the transition was smooth and easy. Emily was amazing leading up to our wedding and on the day. We couldn’t have done it without her by our side. Everything was thought out and executed perfectly and we were able to be fully present on our day. Highly recommend Mia Bella!

    Mia Bella Weddings & Events's reply:

    Thank you Pauline for taking the time to leave a review. We really appreciated yours and Scott's flexibility in allowing Emily to take over since Katie's due date fell right around your wedding date. We wanted to make sure you had enough time to get to know Emily so you would end up feeling comfortable and confident that it was a seamless transition. We are so glad to hear that it was! Thank you again for trusting us with your beautiful day! We wish you and Scott all the best today and always!

    Katie is the best!

    I had my wedding at Walnut Grove and was connected to Katie McJimsey by Michele.

    Katie was organized, thoughtful, patient, and responsive. We had a small intimate wedding and didn't really know what we wanted at some points.

    Katie did an amazing job guiding us with suggestions that were in line with what we wanted for our wedding day.

    She kept everything organized with a workbook that made everything clear on both sides.

    The day of the wedding, she calmed our nerves and kept everything moving so smoothly. I cannot say enough how amazing it was to just show up and know that everything was taken care of.

    She decorated everything beautifully and even moved our arch flowers to our sweet heart table.

    I highly recommend her and can't thank her enough for making our wedding day perfect!

    Loved working with Katie & Mia Bella Weddings!

    Katie was our coordinator for our wedding on 10/8/21, and she was a pleasure to work with. She's very organized and responsive. We had our wedding at Walnut Grove where she is extremely knowledgeable about the venue, their policies, and how events typically flow.

    With her experience at Walnut Grove, it was great to have a default, "this is what we typically do," for the stuff we didn't really care about, so we could make a quick decision and move on - Katie provides that perspective perfectly. She was also totally up for making adjustments and tweaks to the norm that ultimately reflected our personalities and preferences on our special day.

    By booking your coordinator with Mia Bella Weddings, all of the wedding planning that happens months (maybe even a year+) in advance is still going to fall on you, but having their expertise to guide you during those months, answer questions, and then really begin coordinating logistics and timing a month before through to the day-of made our wedding day less stressful.

    The thing about a good coordinator, like Katie, is that if they're doing their job right, you probably won't notice their impact on your wedding day, but just know that it's because they're intercepting and solving any problems before it even gets to you. Because of Katie, we could really focus on enjoying the day and being with each other and our friends and family. This is exactly why it's worth adding a wedding coordinator to your budget, and why I absolutely recommend going with Mia Bella Weddings.

    Best Wedding During The Hardest Year

    To jump straight to it, my wife and I had an absolute dream wedding at Walnut Grove. We originally planned to have our wedding in September 2020, but given the pandemic, we moved it back to August 2021. We worked with both Michele and Katie for coordinating our wedding and they were both so kind, caring, and helpful. Katie with her magical workbook helped us to create a timeline for the day that catered to our wants and needs while making sure no detail was overlooked. I cannot imagine a more difficult wedding to try and plan for given the pandemic so they deserve some sort of ribbon for the extra blood, sweat, and tears they endured for making this day possible. We cannot emphasize just how amazing Mia Bella was and how well our wedding turned out.

    We had 110 guests come to Walnut Grove for the wedding and they all told us how seamless and beautiful the day was. Katie was our day-of coordinator, and she was an absolute legend by keeping the day tightly scheduled without ever making us feel rushed. We know Katie did her job flawlessly since we were able to hand off all tasks and were able to focus on enjoying the day completely. It truly was a dream come true of a day. I will forever advise all my friends and family to hire experienced wedding coordinators like Katie and Michele since they will allow you to fully enjoy the wedding you deserve.

    Incredibly Grateful

    Michele is a wedding goddess and we could not have been more lucky to work with her. She is AMAZING at what she does. She is extremely organized, professional, responsive, kind, understanding and knows exactly what she is doing.
    She took so much stress and pressure off us throughout the entire wedding planning process. She was always pleasant to work with and was always on top of it. Always. The day of the wedding she was incredible and went above and beyond. There is no one better!

    No words..

    There are just not enough words to correctly articulate how amazing Michele is! Every single phone call or text message to calm my jittery bride nerves. Every long email thread, patiently working with me to get every single detail right. And all of her efforts to work with the venue to bring in vendors that they had never had before just to give us the day that we had always wanted.
    I can say without a shadow of a doubt that our wedding happened with all of the magic and romance a bride and groom deserve simply because of how much Michele cares.

    10/10 would recommend! Katie’s the best!

    Katie was an absolute dream to work with! Honestly could not have had our wedding without her. She went far above and beyond what we’d think a “day of coordinator” would do and was really there for us every step of the way.

    Absolutely LOVED Michele

    Where to even begin. Michele is INCREDIBLE. We were married at Walnut Grove and Michele knows that venue like the back of her hand. She orchestrated the whole day so flawlessly, with her super calm demeanor, her positivity and her efficiency. When things got off track with other vendors for the timeline, she kindly shifted things back. When I sat on some charcoal and had black smudges on my dress, she calmly ran to get 4 different types of spot remover to get it out. When I had a panic about our first dance being too late and wanting to lose the cake cutting, she talked me off a ledge and made everything work out so smoothly! She truly was a priceless hire for my day. And even leading up to the day she was wonderful. She had a workbook that helped me think of EVERYTHING for the day of, as to not miss one piece of the planning process. We had 3 meetings (some over the phone) leading up where she helped me figure out how we wanted the day to go, which decorations we were going to use or not use, literally everything you could think of. You cannot go wrong hiring Michele, she was a godsend and one of my favorite hires of the whole wedding. I’d give her a full 10/10, no question.

    Katie is Amazing!

    Katie was our coordinator, and she could not have done a better job! She helped us so much throughout the planning process, helped me with all my questions regarding etiquette, and overall went above and beyond to make everything less stressful. The day of our wedding, she worked hard to keep everything running on time, and was incredibly attentive. I honestly don’t know how we would’ve done everything without her! We are grateful for everything she did for us.

    Katie was great!

    Katie did a fantastic job as our DOC for our wedding at Walnut Grove. She was organized and kept us on track, had great ideas, and was so kind and helpful throughout the planning process. She paid attention to detail and executed are plans seemlessly. We highly recommend her. Thank you Katie!

    Amazing experience

    We got married at The Walnut Grove in June 2019 and had the pleasure of working with Katie as our day-of coordinator and I can't imagine having a wedding without someone like her!

    I absolutely loved planning my wedding, doing all the research, etc. but once the day actually arrived I swear the last thing you want to think about is the schedule! From our first meeting until the end of our wedding, Katie was extremely helpful, kind, and easy to work with. She helped us narrow down a lot of the small details that you can't really deal with until closer to the date, and the day-of timeline she created was amazing.

    On the wedding day, Katie made sure that everything was set up as planned, down to the smallest items. During the reception, she kept everything moving forward smoothly, even when things had to be shuffled around. Your wedding day is really a whirlwind, and having someone like Katie there to guide you through the day is a lifesaver--through family photos, the special dances, cake cutting, even making sure we got to sit down and eat our dinner!

    We had a very positive experience working with Katie and Mia Bella Weddings, and I would definitely recommend their services to friends!

    She made our big day go off without a hitch!

    Michele was instrumental in making our wedding day a success, rain and all! She is more than just a day of coordinator. She helped coordinate our day with all of our different vendors and was open to working with vendors that she had never worked with before.

    During the week leading up to our wedding, Michele and Joe from Command Performance Catering were on the ball with preparing for potential rain. They helped us organize a tent, Michele came up with multiple back up plans, and made sure that there were plenty of umbrellas for guests. She kept her cool, and kept me cool, with all of the rain and changes to our big day that happened by the minute (literally!). It is clear that Michele is a professional and knows what she is doing! I would absolutely recommend Michele. I really appreciated how responsive and organized she was with communicating with us and our vendors and also keeping the owner of Walnut Grove in the loop!

    Katie made my special day extra magical!

    When we arrived for our site tour at Walnut Grove, we were warmly greeted by Katie with Mia Bella Weddings, who we also hired as our wedding coordinator, and could not be more satisfied with our decision.

    I don’t even know where to begin, words cannot describe how amazing Katie is, she is an absolute GEM! She really did set the bar so high. She is professional, communicative, organized, and so responsive (the list can go on). My family and friends are still raving about how amazing she handled everything from before the rehearsal to the day of the wedding. She went above and beyond! We had quite a few personal decorations and DIY items for her to manage on the day-of and she did it flawlessly. She captured our vision so well and took a huge weight off my shoulders. Katie truly managed everything from beginning to end and put so much care into our wedding. She was there for us every step of the way. I couldn’t imagine anyone else to coordinate our big day. She is an absolute perfection!

    Katie helped make my vendor selection a breeze and she worked so well with all of them and truly made my day run so smoothly. Even with the little bit of rain (yes it rained in May) in the morning, she kept everything under control.

    Check out how beautiful everything turned out on my photographer’s blog.

    It rained on my wedding day and Katie made it even better than I could have dreamed of!

    Katie was my coordinator this May 2019 at Walnut Grove and I can’t say enough lovely things about her. Not only is she incredibly sweet and so easy to work with but so organized! She confirmed every vendor and made sure everyone knew where and when they should be. The week of my wedding it was set to rain on my actual wedding day, so Michele and Katie came up with multiple plans and layouts for me to chose and help ease that the day would be beautiful and go as planned. They had plan a, plan b, plan c - all ready to go depending on the weather. Katie is the best coordinator out there. All my wedding party loved her and she made my wedding a dream. If you are hesitant about hiring a coordinator, there is no question that Katie is essential to making your day perfect. I could not have done it without her.

    First and best $950 we spent

    My husband and I got married at Walnut Grove in Moorpark and received a discount if we hired Mia Bella to be our on-site coordinator. We were a little crushed when we learned Michele wasn't available -- until we met her assistant Katie. Katie is the only person I've met who finds it relaxing to plan weddings. She was a rockstar with the details and amazing moral support, as well as a great resource for bouncing ideas off of. (Should we include kids? Who should process in and when? Do we really need lawn games?) She was a sweet, calming, reassuring presence, she kept us on-track with planning pre-wedding, and she never pressured us to add or do things we weren't into. The day-of went perfectly. We were relaxed and had a great time because we knew Katie would keep the ship running smoothly, which she did. Several of our guests even told us it was one of the best weddings they'd been to. Strongly recommend!

    Ok let’s just start by saying Michele is AMAZING! Her attention to detail is perfect! I planned my wedding from Utah with Michele at the Walnut Grove. I showed up with boxes of decorations and her team set everything up flawlessly. She made sure I was relaxed and that everything was taken care of. She even helped sew my dress when my husband stepped on it and ripped my bustle. Lol. She is very professional but still is fun with a great sense of humor. My wedding was PERFECT thanks to her.

    Michele Spring wasn't available to coordinate our August 2015 wedding, but she recommended another incredible coordinator whom we could not have lived without. She also has some really great rentals and provided two stunning marquee lit signs for our big day. Thanks, Michele!

    Michele was our wedding coordinator and she was such an amazing and important part of our wedding. She had everything under control. She is beyond organized and pays tremendous attention to detail. But most importantly, she helped make our day so smooth and made us feel at ease and comfortable during this whole process. She becomes a friend holding your hand throughout this whole process. She made everything less stressful and completely manageable. She anticipated everything, made adjustments as needs changed, and helped make every transition smooth and seamless. By the end of our wedding, she was a friend to us. We are so grateful to have had her be a part of our special day. We can't recommend her enough.

    Michele Spring and Mia Bella Weddings and Events provided day of wedding coordination services for my June 21st event at Walnut Grove. Michele did much more than day of events, as she met with my husband and I on multiple occasions to answer any questions and provide guidance and advice. She spent time with us walking through our venue to discuss where we wanted every sign, etc located. She set everything up beautifully on the day of our event, and we received so many compliments from our guests. She kept us on our timeline throughout the event and kept everything running smoothly. Both of our families loved her as well as our whole wedding party. She was also helpful with answering questions and hosting our rehearsal at the venue the day before. I would recommend her to any bride looking for wedding coordination services in the Los Angeles area. Thanks again Michele for making our day so special.

    I'm a borderline control freak so I didn't need a wedding planner but I knew I would need a day-of-coordinator so I could sit back and enjoy my wedding. First off, I would highly suggest getting a day-of coordinator even if it's not the same one I used. They really make the day as stress free as it can be. Monique was a perfect fit. I hired her about 9 months before the wedding and as agreed, she would contact me about once a month just to check in and make sure I was on track and to see if I needed anything. For me, that was great. She knew I didn't need help with all the little details but the week leading up to the wedding and the day of, she was a super hero. Handling all the last minute stuff, keeping my stress level to a minimum. Also, my husband is Mexican so his family speaks very little English and Monique is bilingual so that was the biggest help. She was able to make sure everyone was comfortable with their roles in the wedding. I would recommend Monique to everyone. I loved her!

    We first met Michele at Walnut Grove and were SO impressed. We ended up having our wedding at a family friend's home and were overwhelmed with all of the minor (and MAJOR) details that we immediately asked Michele to save the day. And that she did!! Everything from our guests being shuttled up to the location to working details out with homeowner to bringing us food the day of! Our wedding was an absolute dream come true and Michele and her assistants were key!
