We rented natural wood folding chairs for our ceremony. They had the best rates by far including the delivery and pick up. The chairs were in great condition!

We wanted a very romantic style for your wedding. Simply stunn on the day of as all the table overlays, chairs covers and the plate settings all coordinated so beatifully. The colors were satin brown w/ gold laces. It was georgous....

I got very very happy and felt super relieved as soon as I discovered the prices on their superb selection. Hands down, the best deal in town for all your party needs!!

We have used them for an big family celebration, and they really did awesome. Everything was almost to perfection and services are excellent.

Event Professionals is made up of the hardest working group of people. Words aren't enough for my appreciation, but I will try. =) I used them for the majority of my wedding needs (coordinator, silverware, dishes, linens, tables, dance floor, dinner, cake, etc)

*Communication: They are very quick with getting back to you, resolving problems, and speaking with any vendors.

*Service: Top-notch. Norine was my main coordinator for the day of, and she worked her butt off to make sure everything ran smoothly (which it did). She constantly made sure we were fed, happy, and aware of any changes. The months leading up the wedding were filled with encouraging emails, updates, and fulfilled requests.

*Staff: On the day of, I got many compliments from guests on how awesome the bartenders were, how the servers were courteous, and how well everything was organized. The whole staff works hard to make your day amazing.

*Food: The food was delicious (got many compliments), the beverage bar was so beautiful, the chocolate fountain amazing.

I can go on, and on about the quality of Event Professionals. Their prices are affordable, and the service is superb!

i am so impressed by event professionals' work on the day of my wedding and through out the planning process.

donaji offered me the best she can to accomodate my budget, and provided me with all the rentals that set the mood for my wedding. actually she set up more than i paid for (more lounge chairs, tables and chandliers...so beautiful). even with many guest count changes, donaji never lost her calm and worked with me to get the most cost efficient deals.

my guests were extremely pleased with the food and level of service the waiters and the bartender provided. they smiled the whole time and were very friendly and accomodating. not only was their food delicious and plentiful, the presentation was so classy and luxurious.

i am so happy and thankful for their hard work. it truly was a pleasure working with them!!!

Their prices are so affordable, and it's nice that they're a one-stop shop for rentals (tables, chairs, linens, dance floor, etc.), food, lighting, wedding coordinator... I could go on with the things they offer. Donaji and her team are sooo accommodating and flexible. Norine was the day-of coordinator, and she was so on top of things the whole time! Just a couple gripes: Even though Norine was super nice and accommodating to us, a vendor and a guest complained that she was rude to them. The food was good, not fantastic.

I got married on 9/9/2007 at Adamson House and stumbled across Event Professionals on this website actually. Adamson House is notorious for having very strict guidelines for their weddings, so I was pleased that EP had worked there before, but still a little skeptical since the last time they worked there was several years ago. I also liked that they were reasonably priced AND did their own rentals (less hassle for me to deal with another vendor then!).

All of my meetings with Donaji (the owner, but also our coordinator for the day) went pretty smoothly. She listened to my ideas and budget and really worked with us.

The day of went pretty well! We had a bit of a mishaps with the seating arrangements, but that was my fault becuase I tried to make a last minute change. Donaji and her assistant were fabulous though, and constantly checked in to make sure that I had anything I needed. We had a small problem with the heaters - we had agreed to having 10 heaters but only 8 arrived, and when I looked around later, I noticed that only 6 were in place! I asked about this, and Donaji explained that not all of them worked and would just comp me the heater rentals. I'm happy that she comped me, but I would have preferred the heaters. oh well!

For the food, we actually gambled on what we ordered becuase we didn't try most of the items during our initial tasting. We liked the tasting enough that we trusted them that what we ordered would be good. And boy was it! I thought our appetizers were fabulous! I loved that the cocktail shrimp were big and plump. Dinner was good and then the mini-dessert station was lovely. Some of the desserts were not so good, but some got rave reviews. I would have preferred that they set up the dessert table a little bit nicer too but to be fair, I didn't give any directions/instructions on that (since I also had a candy buffet).

Anyway, my bottom line is that I thought they did a wonderful job and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

This company is amazing! We had a very involved and detailed wedding and Donaji and her team handled everything diligently, professionally and with love. We get complemented on our wedding to this present day and it always starts with "You had the best wedding I've ever been to...". We endorse this company without reservations and wish for all of you to have the same superb experience. We were able to be fully present and we enjoyed every second of our wedding only because we knew our coordinator had every imaginable detail documented and covered.

Don't hesitate this service along with your pictures and video by far will be the best use, most necessary allocation of your hard earned money.

I was just married on May 12, 2007, and I regrettably used Event Professionals for their coordinator and rental services. On the day of my wedding, several of the chivari chairs that were part of my package had fresh paint and actually stained my guests' clothing. I was horrified, and to make things worse, Donaji Munoz, the owner of E.P. was nowhere to be found throughout the night. Not only were my guest's formal attire ruined, I also did not have a coordinator to continue the events that were scheduled, resulting in confusion and a program that was only half completed. After arguing with Donaji for the following two days, I received almost half of what I paid, even though this would never cover the damage that had been done or the humiliation and anxiety that me and my family went through.

My husband and I got married June 6, 2008 at the beautiful Los Angeles River Center and Gardens. We hired Event Professionals to take care of catering, party rentals, and coordinating, and we were sooooo glad we did! They did an amazing job and met all ourexpectations. I can honestly say that they exceeded my expectations! It's been 9 months since we got married and our guests continue to comment on how beautiful and unique our wedding was. One Aunt even sent us a "thank you" card for reminding her of how romantic something could be. Most importantly, my husband and I never could have imagined being able to afford such a lavish wedding, but Events Professionals was able to work within our budget and gave us more than what we could have ever dreamed of! We were definitely blessed by Donaji and her team.

Lastly, what we were most happy with was their food! I've attended over 8 different weddings in the last 2 years and for the most part, the wedding food is always simple and mediocre in taste. However, Event Professionals' food was absolutely delicious!!! We enjoyed it so much that for Valentine's Day this year, my husband recreated our wedding dinner and arranged to pick up all our wedding menu items at Event Professionals.

If you are looking to hire someone who is reliable, honest, and will pay attention to every detail on your big day, Events Professionals is definitely the vendor.

The Event Professionals guided us through the planning steps so that our wedding day was perfect. Their staff handled everything on the day of the wedding. All we had to do was show up!

For the reception, Donaji and her group of professionals did an amazing job of turning a boring room into a gorgeous, ambience-filled dream. It was beyond our expectations! Our guests raved about the food for days.

As well as hiring a wedding planner, I highly recommend that any new bride hire an assistant to help with the day of the wedding. On my wedding day, Meredith from the Event Professionals showed up bright and early and handled all business aspects of that morning so I could concentrate on getting ready. She did everything from dealing with the flower and limo people, to helping style my bridesmaids' hair. She kept us on schedule and got us out the door on time.

We especially liked the photographer that the Event Professionals referred us to: ForeverTruePhotography.com Mike and Maggie are a husband and wife team and they are fantastic. Mike photographed the groom's party getting ready, while Maggie stayed with the bridal group. We are very happy with the results!

We recommend the Event Professionals and their staff to anyone would wants to turn their wedding or their party into something they and their friends will remember forever.

I used Event Professionals and I LOVED it. My wedding was filmed by TLC and I wanted to make sure every detail was covered and Denoji had no problem going over every detail with me. The staff was professional, punctual and did a fantastic job. I was so stressed out getting closer to my big day and Denoji and her staff made it so peacefull for me because they took care of EVERYTHING! Truly a blessing and I would definetely use E.P. again and recomend to all my family and friends.

I used Event Professionals for my wedding on 9/20/08. It took me a whole year before I could write a review because the food at my wedding was so bad that I think I had to get over it before I could calmly write a review. I have ONE major gripe with this company:

For the food at our wedding, we ordered chicken marsala with risotto and steak with potatoes. At the tasting, both were great. However, on the night of my wedding, my husband and I sat at the sweetheart's table and had a little of each. The chicken was ok, not as good as at the tasting, but that's to be expected, but the steak was SO HARD THAT I COULD NOT CUT THROUGH IT!! My husband even went up to Donaji (the owner) and Meredith (the coordinator) told them that this was the worst steak that he'd ever had in his life! Their response? Well, would you like another piece? Listen, if it's that disgusting, no one wants to try another piece. When we took a look around while we were toasting other tables, we saw that NO ONE had eaten the steak. When I asked my close cousins about it (because they would be truthful) they said that they wished they brought plastic bags so they could take it home for their dogs, because it was too tough for people to eat! Even now, a year after our wedding, whenever we get together with our family members and friends, people will mention how NASTY the steak was at our wedding. We spent $20,000 on Events Professionals. We didn't expect the food to be 5 star or the best we had ever eaten, but at the very least, we expected it to be edible and soft enough to cut with a knife.

Other than this gripe, I thought Event Professionals was ok. They were fairly easy to work with (although at my first meeting with Donaji, she was 30 min late - but she has a son that she has to take to school in the morning, and I understand, sh*t and traffic happens), their coordinator Meredith was friendly and detail oriented, and they did provide random services like lighting so we didn't have to go to another company.

I feel a little bad for giving them only 2 stars because overall, they were very nice and pretty accomodating and our wedding was very well timed thanks to them. Also, the apps were fine, the dessert station was good, and our cake was beautiful (but that was from Porto's). However, I just cannot overlook the fact that the food was so bad that a year later, my guests still remember it - in a negative way. All in all, I just CANNOT recommend this company for food, but if you are going to use them for purely events services it would be ok....

We rented mahogany chiavari chairs through Event Professionals for the reception. In comparing prices, they were the best by far. Donaji was great at responding to email which made working together very effortless.

Donaji at Event Professionals took great care of us on our wedding day. She helped coordinate the entire day's events, in addition to her catering responsibilities. She went above and beyond the call. The food was great, on time, and the presentation was fabulous. Her new location is a little out of the way, but that didn't matter on our wedding day.

I was just married on May 25th at a private estate in Malibu, and I hired Event Professionals for our catering and rentals, and I was blown away by what they delivered. Not only was the food DELICIOUS, their entire staff was courteous and professional. Donaji and her assistant Meredith ran the show for me and they did a fantastic job. We had a buffet style dinner and yet these two ladies were offering to go and get food and drinks for my guests! They also prepared a lovely basket of food for my husband and I to take back to the hotel since we barely had time to eat at the wedding!

Their catering packages and rentals were affordable, their service was superb and Donaji and Meredith were two wonderfully warm women who worked so hard to make my wedding day amazing. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

We would highly recommend Event Professionals which was recommended by a my sister through her thorough research.
We were married in March 2006 in the LA area.
Working with Donaji and her staff was wonderful and brought us a peace of mind.
They are professional, genuinely caring, and creative.
The food was excellent! The decorations, place settings, furniture were exactly as we had wanted. Their quality was competitive with other well known caterers but their prices were significantly more reasonable. Katty and Eric

It was a blessing to find Event Professionals. It was exactly what I was looking for in the sense that I was able to get my rentals, food and event planning in one place and without having to sacrifice one for the other. We had a lot of compliments from our guest on how delicious the food was. I would highly recommend Donaji and her staff they were a pleasure to work with. Also I had several ideas that Donaji even though she hadn't done before never said it couldn't be done.

We were married August 9, 2008 and had the great privilege to have Event Professionals Cater our event. They were wonderful! Since I have experience working weddings I know what happens and how complicated things can be. Both Donaji and Meredith were wonderful in making me feel at ease before and during our day. The linens were perfect, I wanted a chocolate and persimmon decor and they had the perfect linen, and most of all had the beautiful Chivari chairs for a good price. They set everything up beautifully, it all looked great. It helped that they spoke spanish because my parents did the flowers and Event Professionals' staff were more than helpful and accommodating when it came to setting up the flowers for the tables.

What I loved the most was that all my guests felt very well taken care of by every single person working our event. The food was amazing! My mother and Godmother are very critical about food, so to hear that they were very happy with the food made everything better. My family always had someone coming around asking if they needed anything, and so did we. We always had our glasses full, which you need on such a day.

I will never forget 2 things.1) while cutting the cake we suddenly had a full moon (a huge balloon) behind us, it was beautiful because it was a surprise and a unique thing that I have never seen at other weddings. 2) As we were getting ready to leave and Meredith asked me if I had tried the wedding cake, which we hadn't. We were about to leave without having tried it and she gave us two plates to take with us to the airport.

They were great with the details and making sure everyone was having a great time.

Event Professionals not only provided us with the greatest attention to detail and price for the services rendered, but made our big day the most memorable it could have been. Meredith truly enjoys what she does and it shows every time she follows up with a vendor, reminds you of a missing detail or helps recommend the best wedding component for every price range. We looked at at least 8 other caterers before EP and after tasting the incredible food and looking at the great value, it was a no brainer. Almost everyone at our wedding came up to us at some point of the night and told us how incredible the food was and how seamless everything was going. We will absolutely recommend Event Professionals to anyone we know tying the knot!

Event Professionals were an absolute joy to work with. They took care of all the details for my big day and I was able to enjoy the moment with my husband. They helped me prepare for the big day, plan the big day and execute one of the most important days of my life.

I found out the next day how professional and great they were at the wedding. Like every wedding, you can plan and prepare for every detail, but sometimes there are unforeseen variables on a wedding day. I had no idea anything happened. It was well worth every penny for them not to stress out the bride. They went above and beyond the call of Vendor duty. Event Professionals took care of the problem, kept on schedule, made everything look like an easy production. Thanks to Donaji and her great team I had a beautiful day and night. Everyone still compliments us on our great food, drinks, and details. Thanks to Event Professionals they made our day not only memorable for us but our 200 guests. I would highly recommend their attention to organization, details, and professionalism. Thanks Again!

Hi Donaji!

We will be at sea all day today and decided to check our email and we are glad we did so that we may provide you with a few words on how satisfied we were/are with the services you provided and the professionalism of your team.

First off, let me tell you that we did not hear anything but good compliments from both our guests and vendors as to how beautiful everything turned out and how delicious the food was. Since the beginning you maid Felipe, my now husband :), and I very comfortable with the services you provided as well as your experience in dealing with our budgetary needs and understanding of our culture and vision for our big day. Before we came to you we had both done a lot of research as to what was more financially reasonable and would allow us to also sit back and enjoy the actual day but nothing seemed to make sense until we talked to you. At our first meeting Felipe and I looked at each other as we heard you speak about what you had to offer and what you can do to give us that peace of mind that we were looking for and we knew that you were the perfect choice!

As the planning time went on it was great knowing that I could meet with you to go over the vision and hear your advice on vendors and the rhythm of how the event should go… without a doubt it was very helpful. Everything from working with me to use materials that I already had to going out of your way to fit my color schema and make my vision a reality is something that I will forever be thankful for. To tell the truth, once we hired you the stress of the wedding pretty much went away since you were taking care of most of the activities for the event I became a stress free bride allowing me to focus on my other tasks… like finding a dress and getting ready for my honeymoon…. seriously, no one believed how stress free I was about the whole thing… it was awesome!

As for the actual day, what can I say more than it was more that I ever dreamed off…. It was beautiful, delicious, and exciting all at the same time. Both you and Elsa (and the whole staff) made Felipe and I feel great… from feeding us (I believe you actually fed me while I tried to manage my dress…now that is excellent service!) to ensuring we enjoyed the whole event and always maintained hydrated and worry free. A lot of our guests flew from far to come to our wedding so it was also important for them to feel like this trip was worth it… and it was. The music never stopped and everyone ate until their hearts was content. Also, we really, really, really, really, really, appreciate your staff going out of their way to help us obtain the wine that for many circumstances we were unable to purchase prior to the wedding…. What more can we ask for. As we left to our honeymoon Felipe and I again had no worries of what we left behind and that everything was going to be in order. To me that is peace of mind that you can’t put a price on and you can’t find just anywhere.

Here, through your hard work and dedication to us and our event, you have found loyal customers that are more than willing to speak to how great your company is and who will definitely come back for any of our major events.

From the bottom of our hearts… THANK YOU.

Your very happy customers and now friends,

Felipe & Alejandra Garcia

I just wanted to take a minute and let you know how very much we appreciated your coordination of our wedding last weekend. It went flawlessly and it was all thanks to you. Thank you so much for keeping everything on track and for the excellent food and beautiful table arrangements. You did such a great job and we were so happy with everything.

Dear Donaji,

Vu and I both feel we had the absolutely most perfect wedding. Our family and friends all tell us they had an awesome time. It's hard to doubt them when you see our wedding pictures. Guests complimented us on everything from the uniqueness of the ceremony and the gorgeous decorations, to the yummy and variety of food. I remember tears rolling down faces during the ceremony, exciting gasps at the dessert trays, children laughing and clapping for our first dance, and much much more. It amazes me still that your team pulled it all together.

To be completely honest, I had serious doubts whether our ceremony would flow and whether our endless list of exotic foods would be displayed properly. But everything worked out marvelously! What really amazed me was how you and Liz could capture the essence of a traditional Vietnamese ceremony without ever having done one. And the food -- I still have the list if you want to see it again but you probably haven't forgotten how long and complicated we wanted things. I was impressed that your team pulled it off.

I also haven't forgotten all the little things you did, like when you personally brought a glass of strawberry juice to me and my Mom before she escorted me down the aisle, or how you had a plate of food from the food stations prepared for when Vu and I sat down. I'm back tracking a bit here, but you have no idea how appreciative I was when you called me to make sure that I was okay with Vu changing the linen color a week before the wedding. It was completely unnecessary for you to do that but it went to show you really cared about what your bride wanted.

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you, your husband, Liz, and every member of your team for all the care that you put into my wedding. I hope that you continuing to pour your hearts into your work. I absolutely loved my wedding, and would be more glad to be a reference for you.

We haven't finished uploading our wedding pictures but you are welcome to share them with your clients:

Everything was BEAUTIFUL last night! The room couldn't have looked prettier. You did an awesome job of making everything look even better than I could have imagined it. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

We got lots of compliments on the food and Don kept saying how delicious it was.

Your staff was on top of it and kept things moving along. Meredith was just great. She helped out a lot at the house and even did a run back to the house from the chapel to get my sister's special pillows for her back. She was sweet as can be and like one of the girls.

Thanks for recommending Michael & Maggie for photos. They were fantastic! I can't wait to see the pictures -- they must have taken thousands of them.

Marcel was also great at keeping things moving and played all of the songs we requested.

Thanks again for making it a fantastic event and one Don and I will cherish for the rest of our lives.

we couldn't be more thrilled with how our wedding turned out. You and your entire staff, and all of the vendors you recommended did a fabulous job. From our perspective, the wedding was perfect. So far, I've heard that everyone had a great time, too.

thank you so very much to both you and Donaji for putting my wedding together. i was so very pleased. everything from the lay out, the itinerary, the staff, was perfect! and you were right. i had nothing to be worried about. you all took care of everything. everyone keeps going on and on about how beautiful it was.

We cannot thank you enough for all your hard work and dedication during our wedding day. The food, dessert and cocktails were delicious. All of our guests loved our food. Meredith - you really impressed us with your attention to detail and excellent service.

We cannot thank you both for everything you did to give us the most incredible day of our lives. We were completely blown away that you brought our vision to life, even more beautifully then we ever imagined. Thank you a million times over.

Thank you so much for making this day so memorable. Dave and I really appreciate all the hard work and effort you put into our wedding!

Event Professionals is great to work with! Donaji is very passionate about her work and always a pleasure. The weddings that they design are just stunning and they go the extra mile to personalize each event. 10 Stars!!!
