  My husband and I hired Luz as our planner, caterer and florist for our wedding, this past August.
  
  Decor and Rentals:
  I had a lot of ideas and she was great at helping me sort them out and guiding me through the wedding planning process. I am Mexican and new i wanted Mexican food served during cocktail hour and dinner but i also didn't want a typical "Mexican theme" wedding theme. I love literature and wanted to incorporate that. And i wanted my bridal party to wear white. I like to describe our wedding as Zapata meets Shakespeare in a California garden. On Wedding Day Luz delivered! We were both so happy with the look and vibe. Tips for props: shop for your own and through out your planning meetings let Luz know what you have and she will give you ideas on where and when to use them. She will schedule a drop off with you and have everything neatly packed for you after your event. Or rent from her partnering vendors! She will coordinate drop of and pick up for you!
  
  Flowers:
  I bounced back and forth on flowers, colors and styles multiple times.Usually describing what i wanted with feelings and not so much colors. Every time she made note of what i liked and on or mock day blew me away. i also described what i wanted as our ceremony backdrop, showed her some photos and her team made it happen. Trust her process, she's an expert when it comes to wedding planning.
  
  Food:
  We absolutely loved all her food! To this day our guests are still raving about the "ceviche" and "birria" we had on the menu. My favorite: Vegan Enchiladas (and no I am not vegan).
  
  Thank you Luz and Team for making our wedding dreams come true!

  Words can't express how amazing Luz was to work with! My husband and I live in Maryland, but because most of our family lives in CA we decided to have our wedding in LA. Needless to say I was super anxious about planning a wedding from the opposite side of the country... however, Luz could not have made the planning process easier or less stressful! She was wonderful and literally took care of everything for us. She took care of our flowers, tables, ceremony decorations, coordinating, catering... she literally did it all and the day was absolutely flawless. Her decor was amazing and her flower arrangements were to die for! She also did the flower arrangements for the bridal party-- stunning! My husband is Mexican, so we wanted traditional Mexican cuisine for our guests-- Luz's cooking was second best to only his mother :) She was also super flexible and worked with us so that his mother could provide one of his favorite dished- mole con pollo y tamales. I would highly recommend Luz's services. She was exceptional :)

  We started planning our wedding (set for next year) shortly after we got engaged due to the venue we wanted being in high demand. Fortunately, we were able to book a date. Through the venue, we were referred to Luz and I have to say she is amazing. She is not only going to take care of the catering aspect of our wedding, but she will also be re-creating a table setting (complete with table decorations and flowers) that I found on Pinterest and fell in love with. We have an appointment with her in the next few months where she will set up a table the way we wanted and show us; this will ensure that the day of our wedding our decorations look the way we want them to. She is very easy to talk to, very nice, and if you text or call her she gets back to you asap. In terms of food, we had a food tasting scheduled and it all of the food was great! We were able to come up with our buffet-style selections and a few extras. The pricing was very fair. Definitely recommend her.

  Luz was absolutely AMAZING. My wedding was in May at the LA River Center and Gardens which Luz knows inside and out. Everything we asked for she did. The decorations were beautiful. We received so many compliments from our guests. She was also our caterer and everyone was so shocked on how delicious the food was. She exceeded our expectations and I definitely recommend her. She is a professional and I’m glad I hired her services for my wedding.

  We highly recommend Luz for your wedding.
  
  Thank You Luz for making our wedding day feel perfect.

  Luz and her staff did an absolutely amazing job with my wedding in November 2015 at the LA River Center. She went above and beyond and made sure our day was exactly how we had imagined. From the flowers, to the candles, to the timeline, everything was perfect. Wedding planning could be a stressful process for the bride and groom but we had all our trust in Luz and she made the process a lot easier and more manageable. I recommend Luz for any major event planning she truly is a professional in her field.

  My husband and I were recently married at the Los Angeles River Center and Gardens in Los Angeles. Upon booking our venue, we were pleased to be refered to Luz Pencyla. I am soooooo glad that we made the decision to book with Luz and her team as our wedding was beyon beautiful and FLAWLESS!!!! I mean, every bride expects for something to go wrong or not work out on the wedding day, but Luz was on it! Not a SINGLE thing was not to my liking or not done on time. From the moment I had contacted Luz, she was always very pleasant and professional. She would follow up with any emails or questions we had asked from questions about the food, alcohol, floral, etc. Her company provided all floral for both ceremony and reception, rentals, linens, dinnerware, bar service, cocktail hour, day of cooridination, service and wait staff, and day before rehersal meeting. We went with her caterer for our food and did a buffet and all of our guests complimented on how great the food tasted for the wedding. We went with prime rib, teriyake chicken and grilled salmon. We even did a late night snack Taco Bar thru her company which was a real crowd pleaser! Her prices are very fair for what you get. And you will not be disappointed! The ceremony area was just as we had planned, and the reception area looked like something from out of a fairytale! She pays great attention to detail. She came the day of the wedding and provided day of coordinating and stayed thru the entire event to make sure everything went off without a hitch. Her staff were all pleasant and smiled and at the end of the night they did all tear down and clean up. Another plus was everything we took to the event came back home in perfect shape. Nothing was lost or stolen (which is a huge plus as I have been to friends weddings where things have "disappeared") She runs a very honest business and my husband and I have nothing but great things to say. We both highly recommend Special Events By Luz!

  I don't even know where to start. I knew Luz was the perfect fit for us the moment i met her. We started planning our wedding over a year ago and she was with us every step of the way, extremely flexible since we changed our mind several times even helped us get more for our money in terms of our decorations and flowers. Luz handled everything from the flowers, to the ceremony, reception, cocktail hour and catering. We had Mexican food for our reception and lets just say no one walked away hungry, the food honestly was fantastic and the best wedding food i have ever had. She handled lots of little details just how we wanted them! i would recommend Luz to any bride! I promise you will be in good hands. Luz, I couldn't have dreamt it any better! You nailed it! If there is a way to add photos i would love for everyone to see your work!

  Luz Pencyla was incredible to work with. She is extremely talented at what she does and met with us numerous times to make sure that we were getting exactly what we wanted. The food was excellent and so much better than banquet food we've had at other events (we did a sit down, served dinner). She really took care of everything for us; the food, the bar, the flowers, and we couldn't have been happier with the final result. Her team was responsive and very friendly. Additionally on the day of the wedding, Luz coordinated everything so that we really didn't have to do anything or follow up with any details. With Luz's help we ended up with an incredible day that fulfilled all we hoped for. We couldn't sing Luz's praises any more. She is the best and a joy to work with.

  It has certainly taken me longer than I wanted to write this review due to our living adjustments after our wedding day but, I definitely wanted to give Luz credit for making our day as magical as we hoped for. Our wedding day was a little over three months ago at the Los Angeles River Center and Gardens (LARC). Our engagement was 9 months long so my time of planning was limited considering I was also working full time and finishing my master’s program. When we decided to book LARC I was referred to Luz Pencyla as a preferred vendor. Looking back at my experience with Luz, I would describe her as reliable, consistent with her promises, goes above and beyond and very well experienced in her line of work. Luz Pencyla and Staff made our day a dream come true. She followed through with every promise, remained in constant communication with us, provided us with exceptional service and staff members and was on time with every order we made with her from ceremonial flowers, reception setup, cocktail appetizers, and everything else you can imagine. For every idea I had about our wedding day vision, Luz had a way of making it even more amazing and for every detail I added Luz managed to make it work. On the day of the wedding, my nerves got the best of me and I started to worry about every little thing. Luz reassured us that although some things did not look ready, they would be done by the time she promised. And just as she promised, it was all done and setup in time for our guests to enjoy. Being that my husband and I paid for our wedding, we were especially mindful of where every penny we spent. With that in mind, Luz Pencyla was worth every penny and dime. Her prices were a little high for our wedding budget but as they say, you get what you pay for. I highly recommend Luz Pencyla and her amazing staff for your wedding day!

  We tied the knot on May 24, 2014 at LA RIVER GARDENS. Leading up the wedding was quite stressful, as there were so many things to do. I have a quite busy schedule so it was nice to have Luz Pencyla help with the DAY OF coordination. I met with her 3 weeks prior to the wedding for the last minute details. Since I am always tied up at work, I had prepared a word file of what I wanted for my wedding. Over a cup of coffee, my sister and I reviewed the file with Luz Pencyla and her assistant. I had a wonderful vision in my mind, but honestly did not have the time to really do much research to ensure it got carried out. Honestly, Luz Pencyla did a wonderful job at bringing my vision to life. She is very efficient – which is my style. As we went over all the details ie: which linens, flower arrangements, candy table set up, greeting table, sitting chart, cocktail hour, she provided her input and I just went with it. I am glad I did --as everything that I had imagined came to life that day—and actually looked better than what I had envisioned.
  I had two themes, Mexican-theme for the cocktail hour, and all white and elegant for the dinner. Our decorations were fabulous. Luz was also timely and cordial to our guests. Very professional. Anything that was not part of the package, she let me know the cost ahead of time, so there were no surprise charges. We also had tacos for an after dinner snack and they were delicious. Better than some of the best street tacos. Luz, her assistant, and staff also took care of us. We love to dance so we never left the dance floor. Luz even brought my new husband tacos and cake out to the dance floor to make sure he ate. Her assistant also fixed my dress and kept making sure I was comfortable. I did provide a lot of details to add to the decorations : ie chalkboards, pictures, some succulent plants. Everything I gave her she packaged up and returned to me at the end of the night. She has our highest recommendations

  Where do I start when it comes to Luz - she was AMAZING. She listened to what I wanted, made sure my vision was exactly what she put front, and took everyones breath away. She is very detailed oriented and has the magic touch. My wedding flowers were out of this world. Everyone said it looked like a fairytale wedding. There was nothing she did that I did not like. I highly recommend working with Luz and she is very good with working on budgetd - nothing short of amazing. Thanks Luz for making our wedding spectacular.

  We came across Luz Pencyla by our venue area at Los Angeles River Center. They gave us a listing of various catering companies. We went to 2 sampling and Luz was our last one on the list. First impression of Luz was very welcoming and kind hearted!! We told her that we wanted have Mexican authentic food!!! I told her that I wanted to have mint rice on the menu too. When we met her for the sampling of the food. My jaw drop to the floor... Their was so much food and it tasted to delicious!!! She even made the mint rice that I requested. It didn't come out the way how it should have been, but she didn't forget about my request. :)
  She told us to be honest with her about her food and we did give her feed-back.. We loved it!!!
  If any of you love ceviche cocktail, Luz and her team make the best ceviche!!!!
  I sent her an email about a few months ago after we had our food tasting that I would love if she can save us some ceviche that she served during cocktail hour. Keep in mind this was about 4 or 8 months back prior to the big day. On our wedding day, Luz had one of her people come to us and brought us some chips and ceviche!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was like wow!!! She is awesome... That says a lot about LUZ... All of our guest including us loved the food. Everyone was pleased and left home with a happy belly..
  She also helped me out on the flower venue decoration. She is a one stop shop!!! When we met to go over the colors for the wedding. I had already previously chatted with her what colors I want and also the kind of flowers I wanted too... I fell in-love with the selection she brought with her. Ladies, if you want a certain look, definitely bring pictures and share your thoughts and ideas with your wedding coordinator. It worked with me and Luz. :) She did such a beautiful job on the flower arrangements.
  She also helped me with wedding decoration ideas too!!!! :) She has beautiful and creative ideas..

  Luz is in one word- Amazing! She is very professional, gets down to the nitty gritty and is perfect at what she does. Luz not only knows how to make a beautiful wedding but she is acommodating and worked with me in tayloring my package to fit my needs at the Los Angeles River Center and Gardens. She made my wedding beyond beautiful and my food was awesome. All my guest complimented how lovely everything turned out and that they actually enjoyed their food! She stayed behind the scenes and worked diligently to keep things running smoothly. She even saved me when my ridiculous florist forgot to bring my ceremony arch! She magically did something creative with the flowers they did deliver for the arch and saved the day. I ended up even liking her arch decoration better! She truly knows how to do her job and run her business. She is an expert and I cannot thank her enough for all the " behind the scene saves" she did for me on my wedding day. She is amazing! Hire her!

  Fantastic!!! Luz was sooo easy to work with and her prices were so reasonable. She was very flexible, prompt and responsive! I felt so comfortable with having her in charge all the rentals, decor, and staff and trusted she would do a beautiful job, as she did!!!
  She was there the whole time on the day of my wedding making sure everything was going well.
  She is an absolute team player and worked so well with my amazing wedding planner (Stacy Porras) and caterer (who was a bit more challenging to work with).
  Thanks for a beautiful day Luz!!!

  Luz was recommended to us by our venue's coordinator because she's worked plenty of times at our venue.
  
  When meeting with Luz we were convinced that she would be a great help in organizing and facilitating our wedding. She provided day of coordination, all floral arrangements, serving staff, bartenders, linens, tableware, and table/chair rentals. A couple of months prior to the wedding Luz called a meeting where she would show us a 'sample' table setting for the day of. She went out of her way to show us two different designs to make sure we got what we wanted.
  
  Her experience in the field of planning was evident the day of when she directed her staff and paid attention to every detail from the itinerary we set with her several weeks before the wedding. Our flower bouquets were delivered to our hotel on time and beautifully made. She even provided a couple extra boutonniere's for the groomsmen and parents. At the wedding reception site, Luz and her staff took care of set up and breakdown, she even decorated our plain white tiered cake with fresh flowers to match the centerpieces. She executed everything so well.
  
  When the venue's staff failed in providing the heaters for the evening, she took care of it by researching the communication between parties and not letting me get worried. Also, when my husband stained his tie with food, her staff rushed to clean it with their 'emergency cleaning kit.' With Luz's help, our entire family and wedding party got to enjoy the reception as guests.
  
  In looking back our wedding was truly dream like and better than any dream I could make up, all because of Luz's help and ideas. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Luz to any engaged couple! Thank you Luz!!!

  The best decision I ever made in the whole wedding planning was hiring Luz Pencyla. She took my flowers & decor, catering, and rentals to levels I only dreamed of, but thought I never could afford. Luz is extremely affordable and no matter what your budget she will create a spectacular event for you. She did all the legwork for me. I only had to choose colors. Her suggestions are wonderful and she has incredible taste which made it so easy to trust her. When I saw my ceremony and reception I wanted to cry, because of the beauty. She is super hardworking and so is her staff. My family and friends raved about the chicken marsala & barbacoa we served and were stunned by the beauty of my venue's decorations. It was truly enchanting. Her staff are very courteous and polite, very helpful and willing to go above and beyond. What a breath of fresh air Luz Pencyla and her team were. She made my wedding everything I dreamed of, but MORE. Like I said, she was the best investment I made.

  My husband and I got married at the Los Angeles River Center and Gardens on March 19, 2011. We had the best venue and the absolute best coordinator in the world. Working with Luz was fun, easy, and very affordable. What most impressed me about Luz is that she really enjoys what she does; it's more than a career for her, it's a passion, and it shows in her work. You won't be dissappointed at all. LUZ IS THE BEST!!! Our wedding was perfect. It was so organized, fun, and enjoyable. Guests are still talking about how beautiful it all was. She handled everything: she has her own catering company, rentals, decorations, and flowers. The ceremony, the decorations, and the food were perfect. We didn't have to worry about anything. It was the best day of our lives and we remember everything because she allowed us to actually enjoy the event. We highly highly recommend Special Events by Luz Pencyla.

  We got married at the LA River Center & Gardens, and their staff mentioned Luz to us. We were so glad they did! Believe the full-on five star ratings you see here - Luz is wonderful. We were having food catered by an Indian restaurant, but we needed rentals, as well as staff to serve the food and coordinate the event. Luz provided all of the day-of coordination, but she was so much more than a day-of coordinator. She met with me and my fiance several times, and walked through the site with my mom beforehand to plan decorations. She also provided helpful spreadsheets for planning the flow of the event. On the day of, she was so nice about helping my mom decorate, and went with the flow when my mom had, um, strong opinions :-) She also provided bartenders who handled signature cocktails according to our requests along with beer and wine - they were fantastic. And her staff were kind, helpful, and made the event seamless. We had a complicated wedding with many moving parts (several ceremonies, separate alcohol, food and cake vendors, homemade decorations) and she supported all of them flawlessly. Thank you, Luz!

  We met Luz at a brides night at The Los Angeles River and Garden Center. I was really impressed with the variety in her table presentations. So we set up a food tasting appointment with my then fiancé, mom and maid of honor. The food was delicious my husband defiantly approved. We decided on the Chicken Florentine and Barbacoa de res, both were juicy and favorable. Guest later confessed that they went up for seconds one even admitted to thirds. She also recommended a cake vendor who provided the most delicious moist cake with the best filling I have ever tasted.
  Luz is absolutely passionate about her career; she attends conferences to learn more and stay current (which I don’t think she needs). She really tries to get to know your sense of style, colors, types of flowers, tall or short arrangements, and any other likes and dislikes. She is very flexible and made suggestions when I was unsure of what I wanted. I emailed her a picture (2 weeks before the wedding) of way I wanted the flower arrangement to look on our sweetheart table. She went above and beyond my expectations. My family is big on real flowers (so am I) and they and I absolutely loved the flower arrangements, she captured the perfect height and fullness with the hydrangeas and romance with the roses which blended beautifully with the small lilies and green hypericum berries.
  During the cocktail hour, Luz and her staff were amazing at keeping our guest in the cocktail area and did a terrific job of seating everyone. With a big Latino family sometimes you get big personalities that don’t want to abide by the seating chart, I heard that Luz did an amazing job of staying professional and seating everyone according to the chart that I created. She kept us on track and was very accommodating to my husband and I.
  Thank you for making our 9/10/10 wedding a beautiful memory for us and our guests.
