LUNA RENTALS is beyond amazing! What they did to transform my parent's home's backyard was truly breath taking. Luis, the owner, is such a sweet heart as well. His workers are all really great and professional. They are experts at what they do.
My wedding was in a backyard....so yeah, the entire location needed serious work! We rented drapes and lighting from LUNA and with just those items, the yard was transformed. My guests were amazed because they all know what the yard looked like before. And the After just took their breath away.
Besides just the Lighting and Draping, I also rented Chandeliers, Market Lights, Tables, Chairs, Linens, Napkins, Dinnerware, Flatware, and glasses.
They arrived on site the day before my wedding and was there for close to 6 hours to set up. And they were back the next day to finish up. They knew how to tap into power so not to trip any breakers. They knew how to hide wires and cables. They just knew everything!!! And breakdown after the wedding was also quick and no-nonsense.

I found Catherine online on Style Me Pretty originally. Her blog and her website caught my eye with just how dedicated she is to her career and how giving she is to her community. She had just started a new feature where she donates a part of her Coordinator fees to a charity for the bride and groom. I thought that was sweet.
When I finally met up with her, I didn't even want to meet with any other planners. She was the one and only planner I met with and I just decided to sign up.
We had 6 months to plan a small (80+ guest) wedding at a private home location in the backyard. I probably drove her positively nutty with all my changes and micro-managing in that time. But she was always patient, immensely helpful, and gave me her opinion and input. She responds fast to all my email inquiries. She was seriously so easy to work with. The whole planning process was really a breeze, especially during the count-down 1-month out crunch time. I barely had to do anything.
On the eve of the event and the day of the event, Catherine helped transform the entire backyard of my parent's home into a beautiful dream. My family and guests were amazed at the transformation of the venue. With LUNA RENTALS help, my wedding was truly fun, quirky and beautiful!
I know many weddings want to follow many traditional routes, but my hubz and I totally skipped out on those stuffy and sometimes boring aspects of weddings and just focused on FUN. And Catherine was just fine with that. She considered me to be edgy, I call it kooky. But the end result was still fantastic!
If you are looking for a great gal to plan your wedding, you don't have to look any further. You won't find anyone else who loves her work and her clients as much as Catherine does.

Oh, and after some deliberation without any prompting on my side, Catherine opted to donate to the LA County Animal Care Foundation in honor of our wedding. She read us well. We are big time animal advocates!
