Michelle was on point, on time, and highly detailed from the very beginning of our wedding planning process to the end of our wedding night. Our dream wedding was made real and we couldn’t be happier with Somni Events making it happen. Thank you, Michelle and the Somni Events Team for everything!

Michelle is incredible and truly the best of the best! We could not have dreamed of a better wedding planner. She was such an amazing partner to work with throughout the whole process. We had to postpone our wedding to more than a year later due to Covid and Michelle helped us make all the changes seamlessly. I have no idea how we could have done it without her. Michelle and her team are amazing and she introduced us to the absolute best vendors we could have asked for.

Michelle's team was so helpful during the whole process of wedding planning.
Our coordinator, Janice was very detail oriented. She thought of things in the logistical process that I didn't even think about. Having Janice as our coordinator really made our lives easier because they thought of everything.
Janice and Michelle also coordinated all of the vendors and handled the remaining paperwork. That was a huge help because that took some burden off of us.
It was busy season for me at work so it was helpful that Janice and Michelle kept me on track and sent me reminders. Janice and Michelle

My wife and I are incredibly fortunate to have Michelle as our planner. We were truly satisfied with Michelle's professionalism throughout the whole process from start to finish. She made our planning process completely smooth and practically stress-free. She has a great selection of recommendations for photographers, videographers, florals, etc. that will ease your search for vendors. We eventually had a dream team of professionals who've all worked together before, and they've all made our wedding day special.

Hiring Michelle was by far, the best decision we made when it came to our wedding. At first I thought that I could save some money and plan my wedding on my own. I was quickly overwhelmed by how many details and decisions go into planning a wedding, so we decided to hire Michelle for a partial package. She gave us a guideline early on of everything we would need to do and was with us every step up the way to make sure we were on track with planning. We had a relatively modest budget (I think) compared to other weddings in Los Angeles, and Michelle really worked with us to stick to it.

Michelle and her team are amazing, friendly, trustworthy, and detail-oriented! Her coordination services are truly are worth it. And if you're questioning if you need a coordinator, just do it!!
I worked with Michelle for "Month Of Coordination" but she really helps starting a few months before! She helped me organize and stick to deadlines, which I definitely needed - otherwise I would've procrastinated and panicked towards the end!
Her communication is amazing. She was available by email or text and responds extremely quickly. She also helped out so much in coordinating

We reached out to Michelle through a referral and my fiancé and I both were extremely impressed by her responsiveness, attention to detail, and overall professionalism. She was helpful and didn't mind answering all the questions of two people that didn't know the first thing when it came to planning a wedding.
Highly recommend Michelle and Somni Events!

Somni Events took our vision and created an absolute dream of a wedding! Michelle is incredibly professional and handled our entire planning process with dedication and grace. Her impeccable taste enabled her to fully grasp our vision and execute it to perfection on our wedding day.
Early on in the process, we didn't have a very cohesive idea for the design side of our wedding. Michelle took our thoughts, saved photos, and the type of atmosphere we were going for and she created a design board for us. It included everything from color palette to design ideas of every aspect of our wedding from

What was the secret to our perfect wedding? Michelle as our wedding planner. Honestly, the planning process could not have been easier and the wedding day could not have gone more perfect. If you stop reading this review here, just know that we would recommend her 10 out of 10 times without any hesitation or reservations!

Michelle really pulled through for us on our wedding day at the Langham. We were so grateful to have her coordinate our vendors and help plan out the details of our wedding. Even though we started planning a year before the wedding there were so many details so close the wedding day that needed to be completed. Michelle helped us with all of that and more. She also really does take the extra mile to make sure everything goes smoothly on your wedding days. She even got lots of complements from my bridesmaids. I would recommend Michelle for anyone's wedding.

Michelle is just incredible. Her attentiveness, attention to detail, organization, and overall aesthetic eye gets a 12 out of 10. We don't know why anyone would choose to go it alone when planning a wedding, but whether you're considering a planner or a coordinator, the answer is "yes, do it". Michelle helped us select the venue, negotiated an incredible deal (which alone covered her fee 2-3x over) laid out (and kept us to) a tight timeline, put vendor options in front of us with her recommendations, was available to respond to any and all inquiries, and adeptly handled last

I highly rate SOMNI EVENTS with Michelle! Originally, I wanted to be a hero and I wasn't going to get a wedding coordinator. I was actually going to do everything on my own to save some money and to achieve the satisfaction of the results I wanted. I am 1000% so happy that I didn't do that and actually got a wedding coordinator that is gifted and delivered with excellence. Michelle was actually booked for the same day when I first reached out to her and when the other wedding cancelled, she reached out to me right away! I'm super grateful that she did

What a fantastic team of dedicated professionals! Michelle and her team pulled off my best friend's miracle wedding this past weekend and we were amazed how on point she was with everything! I don't know how they did it, as they looked like they were on their feet the entire time making sure things were going as planned. They looked professional, confident, and were always making sure we had what we needed!

Michelle was a wonderful wedding planner and absolute pleasure to work with. It was extremely difficult planning our wedding during COVID, but Michelle did everything she could to make sure our wedding stayed on track and turned out how we envisioned it to be. She remained calm and collected under pressure, which is really nice when everything else seems so crazy. She has a great eye for decor and design and helped us bring our dream wedding to life. She also has great relationships with vendors, which we valued greatly! Christy Kendall (our photographer) was amazing. I also appreciated her patience

We engaged Michelle for our wedding at the Ritz Carlton, Laguna Beach, before she founded Somni, and absolutely loved how dedicated she was to her work.
While the other two planners we worked with before her refused to help us prioritize comfortable seating for our guests and reducing carbon footprint by reusing flowers from our ceremony for the banquet, Michelle was not only willing but professional and on point as our Wedding Coordinator.
She understood that many of our guests are elderly and will not be comfortable sitting in acrylic chairs, unlike other planners who were only concerned about

Michelle is absolutely AMAZING! My husband and I were so lucky to have Michelle as our wedding planner. We wish we found Michelle the first day we started planning our wedding. We actually had meetings with a few other wedding planners before we found Michelle. But as soon as we had an interview with Michelle, we had no doubt that she was the right person to work with. She was professional, honest and answered all our questions in a logical and clearly manner.

Michelle was our wedding planner for our wedding in September. Everything was perfect and I'm so happy I chose to work with her. I'm a bit of a control freak so it was extremely difficult to have someone else plan my wedding. However, from the minute I met Michelle I knew I could trust her.
Here are a couple things that I really loved about Michelle and her whole team:
- Always prompt to answer my emails, texts, calls, etc. I can't stress how important this is when you're freaking out about every little detail! I felt like I could reach out to her 24/7.
- Honesty. Michelle

I highly, highly recommend Michelle for any couple looking to plan their wedding! We had the most incredible, professional, caring, and efficient experience with our wedding planner. Michelle was referred to us by many of our friends as well as our venue, now I know why! Before even signing the contract, Michelle spent 2-3 hours on the phone with me and I knew I had to book her! She was so warm and genuine, and really understands all aspects of where you are coming from as a bride.
Despite the many weddings that she has to attend to, she's always made me feel like I was her only client! Throughout

No matter the challenge, or crazy request, Michelle was always calm, courteous, collected and most importantly connected.

Michelle is the wedding planner you want if you want to be stress-free the day of your wedding. Not only did she execute on our vision perfectly- pink with hints of black (black was super taboo with my family but she managed to pull it off super elegantly), I didn't have to worry about anything during my wedding day. I remember at the end of the night, I thought back and realized how I didn't even notice Michelle throughout the entire day until she asked me if I've gotten a chance to eat and yet and the day went so smoothly!

Planning a wedding is a lot of work! If you’re looking for a planner, I highly recommend hiring Michelle. I was in constant email communication with Michelle and set up a few in person meetings for when I was in town. She always gave me options to choose from so I wasn’t overwhelmed and helped me make decisions when I was being indecisive (which was frequent). It was like Michelle knew exactly what I liked! She set up all the appointments with vendors so that I didn’t have to make multiple trips to LA. Michelle also helped us prepare and keep track of our budget, which is super important
