Charming Little Event Company

My name is Juliet Robles and we had Michelle Tortuya as our wedding coordinator. We are so thankful to have had such a great wedding coordinator like Michelle, she was always looking out for us, had the best ideas, made sure everything was correct and always double/triple checked everything with us to make sure we approved.

I recommend Michelle as she will make your wedding plans easier, she will take on all of your duties & you will have less stress in planning your wedding.

Michelle was there every step of the way. My reception was INCREDIBLE
and I would not change one thing. I remember that day was crazy and I was running around all morning and more nervous than anything but as soon as I made it to the wedding Michelle made me feel comfortable & took all that stress away.

I had so many compliments on everything Michelle did for us & how great everything looked.

On a scale of 1-10 my husband and I give Michelle a 100 as she made our Dream Wedding Day come true PERFECTLY!!

Thank you Michelle

Michelle is awesome! I didn't worry about a thing the day of the wedding. She was totally on top of things. Very organized and very professional!!! Use her!

I can not thank Michelle Tortuya and her assistant Kym for all they did to make my wedding gorgeous. They are true professionals and I will always be grateful for their willingness to make my vision of the reception a reality. With the power out at the church resulting in no music, no lights and no air conditioning, we felt very confident with Michelle being there, taking care of us and put our minds at ease. I had certain specifications on how the candy buffet and memory table were to be designed. It was done the way I asked. Michelle was always there via email or phone to answer any questions we had. Her vendor recommendations were so helpful that we booked a number of them for our wedding. Michelle is very detail-oriented! I loved that her timeline was so meticulous and kept everyone on track. If you are looking for a wedding planner, check out the Charming Little Event Company. You will not regret it.

No matter what I write here will not give Michelle due credit for how INCREDIBLE she was to work with. We worked together for over a year planning my wedding in Malibu, CA. I live out of state, so I REALLY leaned on her for insight and ideas. She was there for me every step of the way, I just don't know what I would have done without her. Because of her hard work and 200% dedication, my husband and I had the wedding of our dreams!

Although I hired michelle and her team just weeks before my wedding, she seemed as though she was with me throughout the planning. We met a couple times before the big day to discuss layout, decoration, menu, and more. Just meeting with her and e-mailing and calling was enough to have her run with it and ensure all went as planned on my wedding day. My family could not say enough about her warm personality and organization. Thank goodness I made this decision last minute. I would definitely recommend Charming Events. Their packages are so complete and VERY affordable for all the work they do.

Michelle and the Charming Events Team were excellent! I would certainly recommend them for any bride looking for a coordinator who is knowledgeable, flexible, attentive to details, and just easy to work with. Believe me ... as things got crazy with wedding planning (as I imagine every bride experiences), it was great to know Michelle was there to answer any questions/concerns I had.

Up to and on the day of our wedding, her team worked flawlessly in coordinating all my vendors. I heard from many of my vendors "Your coordinator was great to work with!! She's REALLY good!" My husband and I appreciate all the work Michelle and her team put in to make sure our wedding was everything I had hoped for! Additionally, and definitely noteworthy, I found her pricing to be very reasonable, especially for the quality of the services provided.

Michelle was our amazing wedding coordinator for my daughters wedding. She was awesome, she handled everything so professionally. As the mother of the bride I wanted to enjoy the event and not have to worry about anything. Michelle and her staff made the wedding a beautiful amazing experience and I was able to completely share in my daughters special day thanks to her.

Thanks for the memories Michelle!!!!!!!

My husband and I were married on one of the busiest wedding days of the year, 7/7/07. I knew I couldn't plan this wedding on my own, thus I turned to Michelle at Charming Events for help. Michelle was everything I needed and more. She was so meticulous and organized that my mind was worry free the day of the wedding. She was professional, accomodating, and overall a fabulous person. I highly recommend her and her staff at Charming Events for any occasion.

Michelle did an excellent job as our day of coordinator. I did not have to worry about a single thing on my wedding day, and as far as I know, everything went off without a glitch (and what I don't know won't hurt me!) Michelle is very detail-oriented - she had an 8 page outline for the wedding! It was great! Michelle was able to help with vendor referrals and was always available to answer questions and provide suggestions during the planning process. Very reasonable rates too! I would definitely recommend Michelle to any bride looking for a wedding coordinator.

I met Michelle over a year ago as a bridesmaid. I had just become recently engaged and she was starting a coordinating business, so when she posted for Trial Brides I emailed her that I was interested. Michelle acted as my day of coordinator but really I felt like she was with me every step of the way. When I needed help finding a vendor, she came forth with a list. In fact, she introduced me to Marlin. Each time I had an issue I went to her with guidance and she was always happy to help. Michelle is the most organized person I have ever met and made me feel like a disorganized bride, even though I had a color coordinated binder of contracts. I honestly do not know what I would have done without her so I feel strongly that if anyone needs a coordinator, she definitely should be considered. I'm going to miss working with her....

I never could have made it through the day without your help. Thank you!!

My life is somewhat returning to normal after the wedding, moving into a new place and the honeymoon. I finally have an opportunity to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for everything you and Kim did for David and I on our wedding day. I'm serious....I don't know what I would of done without you girls. Thank you for making everything appear to be like it went smooth. I know it probably didn't but I had no idea if there were any issues. I enjoyed every moment of the day. I will defintely recommend Charming Events to whoever is looking for a wedding coordinator....so once again thank you to you and Kim and Chelsy for all you hard work. Take care.

Michelle ~

Thanks so much for helping our day go smooth! It was an unforgettable event for us and we appreciate your efficient services. It was a ball! Let's get together for coffee sometime.

We LOVE working with Michelle! She is always on top of every detail and communicates all of those details with the vendors so meticulously and professionally. She has a great eye for design and puts together outstanding events! Michelle is a true gem!

We shot a Charming Little Event Company wedding and are so glad to have had the opportunity. The wedding was a photographer's dream; every little detail was planned to provide an elegant atmosphere. In fact, The Knot magazine will be featuring that very wedding soon. We can't wait to work with Charming Little Event Company again.

I have known Michelle now for 4 years and have had the pleasure of working with her company as her lead assistant. Michelle has been such a great mentor to me over the past four years and has taught me so much about wedding and event planning. She is highly energetic, very professional and extremely organized. I have really enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding/event coordinator!

Michelle Tortuya of Charming Little Event Company is fantastic. She is a wedding planner and my "friendly competition". Michelle and I collaborated to plan an event for Assn of Bridal Consultants. The event was amazing because of Michelle's attention to detail, vendor contacts and work ethic. She and I refer clients to each other when we're booked. I would only send a bride I can't help to Michelle because I know they will be taken care of and work with one of the most talented and dedicated wedding planners in So. Ca.
