Fresh Events Company

Fresh Events is a top shelf event production company. We’ve had the pleasure of working with them on a number of events and it’s alwasy a huge advantage to the client having someone organized with a good eye for style in charge.
Thanks Fresh Events!

The best decision we made for our wedding was deciding to work with Fresh Events Company! Our wedding planner, Shirley Han did an amazing job! She guided us through the entire process, totally made us feel at ease, gave great vendor recommendations that fit our style, and provided us with a clear timeline which is exactly what we needed. She is so organized, professional, detail-​oriented, reliable, and very fun and pleasant to work with! I seriously have no complaints at all!
On the day of the wedding, Shirley and other staff members from Fresh Events Company did a flawless job! Everything went very smoothly and our wedding day was PERFECT thanks to them! We felt like everything was always under control, and we felt well taken care of. We didn’t have to worry about anything that entire day which was great! As a bride, I wasn’t stressed out at all thanks to them, and I was able to really soak in and enjoy every moment of our special day. Can’t thank them enough! I highly recommend them to all future brides! :)

Shirley Han and the Fresh events team did such a great job on our wedding day. We hired them for only the «month of» the wedding. Even though we hired her for the month of, she always put herself available if we needed help.
From the emails, 2 meetings and the rehearsal, Shirley was amazing! She has so much experience of event planning and helped me throughout the whole wedding process.
Her and her team were on time, professional, and made sure that our wedding day would go smoothly. They set-​up all my wedding decors just the way we wanted and it was perfect! One thing that I loved was that they checked in with us and made sure that we were enjoying and if we needed anything they would get it. It was a pleasure working with Shirley and her team.

My wedding took place early February, 2013. In the very beginning of the wedding planning process, I knew I wanted a wedding coordinator to make the wedding day smooth and stress-​free. I’ve already secured my wedding venue and proceeded to meet up with 3 wedding planners knowing that all 3 have had experience coordinating weddings at my venue. One planner was referred to me by my relative, another one was referred to by the catering manager of my wedding venue, and then there was Fresh Events which I discovered myself through bridal magazines and websites.
Fresh Events did a wonderful job and made my wedding day extremely enjoyable and fun! Shirley helped me with the planning process and she was very detailed and experienced. She’s very direct and has a no-​fuss manner which I really like, and our meetings were always very productive and time-​efficient! For my wedding rehearsal and wedding day-​of, Ada and Alex did an impeccable job and my wedding day went so smooth and stress-​free. Plus, they treated me and made me feel like a «queen» for a day! Not «princess» for a day b/​c I’m in my 30’s, not 20’s! :)
Brides-​to-​be, consider setting up a meeting with Fresh Events!

As a vendor, we work with a lot of other vendors, some good, some, well… not so good. Shirley, and her team at Fresh Events, was a breeze to work with. On top of everything, a great middle man between us and the bride and so sweet and courteous. She was very prompt in responding to emails, which is huge for us! We recommend her and her team and always love working with them!

Hiring Fresh Events Co. was critical to executing a first-​rate statewide conference. They are professional, timely & thorough. Everyone at Fresh Events understood our budget constraints and helped maximize our dollars. I worked closely with Amanda and felt as if she was a mind-​reader, predicting my concerns & ready to offer suggestions & solutions. I never once had to remind her to do something twice. Fresh Events is truly a fantastic partner when planning anything special!

I work at a well known venue in Los Angeles and I have to say that Fresh Events Company is one of my most welcome planners. Amanda Ma (owner) and Shirley Han (lead planner) are so easy to work with. Their organizational skills are unsurpassed and they are so friendly and professional. My clients love them and they handle every aspect of the wedding down to the most intricate details. They just don’t miss a thing. I always love working with them and when my clients say they have hired Fresh Events I know they are in the best of hands and that they will have a flawless wedding.

As a wedding vendor it’s important to work with other people that are organized and easy to work with.
I’ve always had a great experience working with Shirley, Amanda and the entire Fresh Events Team… they make it easy for me to focus on my job as the DJ and not worry about all the other details going on.
:o)

Pros:
I hired Fresh Events Company after hearing raves from friends and online reviews. Since it was close to our wedding venue, we decided to go with them. We had purchased the silver package where they would handle the planning during the month leading to the wedding and day of coordination. Our wedding day for the most part went off without a hitch and was one of smoothest weddings we’ve seen.
Cons:
However, I was disappointed to find out the lack of communication they had attempted or lack of leading to the month of until I reached out to them 3 weeks prior to the wedding date. Their services weren’t exactly inexpensive and we had expected better quality of service for what we paid for. My family and some of my wedding party felt rushed and that our coordinator was rude. They complained that the tone of our coordinator’s (Shirley) voice was quite harsh. Also, there were factors during the wedding we felt that were lacking from their services. First, we were to give our main coordinator payments of all vendors to hand out. She was nowhere to be found to hand the payments to and the florist left without payment. I had to make an extra trip to the florist to pay her the next day. Also, our coordinator told us (bride and groom) that she will direct us when it’s time to toast each table. When it was time for that, she was nowhere to be found and some of our guests had already left after eating. In addition, while we tried to make our way to the tables, guests started walking to the sweetheart table preventing us from leaving even after telling them our intent. If the coordinator was timely, we could have avoided all this. Because of this, we were stressed out when we shouldn’t have. There were 2 other girls helping out on the day of so we didn’t understand where our main coordinator disappeared to. Did I mention the main coordinator was 2 hours late on the day of the wedding? She told everyone to arrive by 1 p.m. during the rehearsal but she did not arrive until 3 p.m. She also told the wedding party that she will also be there at 1 p.m. There were things we needed and the wedding party was frantically calling her to no avail.

Shirley and her team was awesome communicating with my team (CM Make-​up & Hair) for the wedding of Jennifer Songolia. She had everything planned out for us by timesheet regarding location, quantity of people needed to be done, and time needed to be done by. It was a pleasure to work with her.

I had the pleasure of working with Shirley Han and her expert Event Management & Design team this past Saturday at Skirball Cultural Center for the Wedding of Allison and Craig Andresen. As a Los Angeles Wedding DJ for more than a decade with Scott Topper Productions, it was wonderful to hear the Father-​of-​the-​Bride stand up and make a heart-​felt «Thank You!» to Fresh Events Company. The Bride and Groom were thrilled and the venue was magically transformed while the guests danced the night away! If you are looking for an amazing LA Wedding Planning team, then be sure to give Shirley a call to check availability!

I worked with Shirley and Alex on August 25 for the first time. They were a JOY to work with, very organized, prepared and had answers to all of my questions. As a DJ it is a HUGE help when the wedding coordinator are prepared and easy to work with. I look forward to working with Shirley and Alex in the future.

Weeks leading up to our wedding I received several advice from our friends saying that no wedding goes perfectly and that I shouldn’t stress about it. Being a perfectionist I knew something would go wrong.
Well, I was proven wrong. Everything was PERFECT for our wedding. Shirley and her assistants did an AMAZING job and even if something may have gone wrong I knew nothing about it. Being a bride is exhausting (it took me 2 days to recover. alcohol may have been the main reason) and on your wedding day you shouldn’t have to worry about anything. I’ve been to plenty of weddings where things always go wrong and I feel horrible for the bride. Thankfully, Shirley and the Fresh Events team pulled off a flawless wedding for us.
Everything that Shirley recommended from the venue (Vibiana) to the catering (Panda Inn) turned out perfectly and our friends and family all enjoyed themselves and they won’t stop raving about the wedding.
If you’re looking for a perfect wedding (or any event) I definitely recommend Fresh Events Company. Any large event I throw now I will definitely be hiring Fresh Events for help.
And um, I kind of want another wedding now. Poor husband. Haha.

We worked with Shirley for our Sept 10 wedding at the Huron Substation and have nothing but amazing things to say about her work. We did the Silver, day-​of package, which was perfect for our needs. She set our venue beautifully, and all of our vendors told us how much they enjoyed working with her.
Shirley also found us a great videographer 3 weeks out from our wedding! Those of you who have gotten married on a Saturday in September know that most vendors book up a year in advance, but Shirley found one!
Hiring Fresh Events Co. for our wedding was some of the best money we spent. It allowed us and our friends and family to just relax and have fun, not «work» the wedding. Thank you Fresh Events!

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Shirley for our wedding this year. We got the «Gold» package which included design and month of coordination since I do love to plan parties and events myself.
Shirley is the absolute best to work with! She responds timely to emails, gives excellent vendor referrals and suggestions when you need it. She helps set up meetings, is very thorough and of course, detailed. I am very detailed too and when it comes to Shirley, she is basically like my twin! LOL!
Our wedding took place at the beautiful Vibiana and Shirley and Fresh Events definitely knew what they were dealing with. They are recommended vendors of course!
If you are engaged, contact Fresh Events and tell them your ideas. You will feel comfortable and at ease with what they have to offer.

Amanda and Shirley at Fresh Events is a party planning dynamo! I honestly don’t know how anyone plans a wedding without some sort of coordinator.
At our first meeting Amanda was personable, professional and most of all very interested in what I had in mind for my wedding day.
She went above and beyond the call of duty securing extra parking spaces for a mini car show at our reception from the less than cooperative neighbors of the venue and even lent us extra giant paper lanterns from her own personal stash for our wedding.
They made our wedding a stress free, beautiful affair. Whether you are looking for full on event coordinating or just a day of coordinator, Fresh Events is THE company to call.

Our goal with our wedding: we wanted to throw a great party where the guests could come and be comfortable, dance their booties off, drink and eat as much as they could, celebrate with us and have a lot lot lot of fun.
My wife loves to design/​paint/​photograph/​arty stuff (I appreciate that also but am no artist) and so aesthetics are also important. We’re not the «Cinderella going to the ball» types and we both appreciate good design.
Our wedding evolved into an event with a lot of moving parts. The space that we chose was raw. Open loft/​warehouse split level with a stairwell smack dab in the middle. No full blown wedding had ever been thrown there.
The things we wanted: Modern, sleek, minimal in some sense with TV/​movie theming through out as we both love to watch tv and movies (our table was LOST). Ada picked up on this immediately and setup a beautiful and cohesive theme that carried through the design. She had lighting fabricated to match the theming and the warehouse/​loft space and suggested an outdoor lounge setup with couches and the like. She also suggested a very cool white dancefloor which unintentionally acted as a huge light diffuser so people shot on it were lit very well. She brought in hedging and gobos projecting blue on the walls to soften up the industrially feel of the space but maintained its overall character. Even setup a play area with baby sitters, crafts and a movie projector which entertained the kids for the duration.
We had gourmet lunch trucks (Komodo Korean Fusion and White Rabbit Filipino Fusion) for the dance party portion in addition to a regular sit down catered meal, a full coffee bar and barista, and a photobooth (massive massive hit) .
What really impressed me about Ada was that I never once felt she was trying to push something for her own benefit. No nickel and diming. Her professionalism in that regard was highly appreciated by us. Everything she suggested or did was what was best for our somewhat unorthodox wedding with our goals and budget in mind. Her job in the beginning dealt with theming and design and by the end was integrating, controlling and being responsible for both vendors she had worked with and vendors that were new to her.
Ada is not prentious, salt of the earth. Clearly patient. Absorbs information before making any judgements. Factors in many considerations before making decisions («pulling the trigger»). All of this is done in rapid fashion. She is not pushy in the least but is not a push over as she had unquestioning command and control authority the week leading to and the day of. She was consistently conscious of our budget constraints and paid very close attention to details. These are necessary qualities for any good leader and your coordinator is the leader on your wedding day.
About the half the vendors we went with were suggested by her. Her vendor pricing was always good, in some cases pretty amazing as we checked alternatives.
Our day went very very smoothly from our perspective, almost relaxed. It was an amazing day and our guests had a great deal of fun.
Wedding planning is an emotional roller coaster and I can say that if it weren’t for Ada and Shirley and the Fresh Events Crew we would never have made it. Seriously.

Wow, I just had the most memorable experience with Fresh
Events Co! I hired them to coordinate for my wedding and though I heard great feedback about Freshevents, their service still exceeded my expectations!
I worked with coordinator Amanda and right off the bat she was organized, efficient, and suggested several creative ideas for our wedding. She has a great network of vendors she works with and was able to give us great pricing and packages for flowers, photobooths, and rentals.
What stood out about their service is their dedication to organizing the perfect event. I had several last minute changes and Amanda stayed late to ensure that everything was accurately organized. Fresh Events also had a great relationship with the resort we held our wedding at so she was able to seamlessly coordinated their efforts with the venue hosts, photographers, videographers and makeup artists. It really helped that Fresh Events knew exactly where everyone was, helped me keep sane!
Having Fresh Events as my coordinator really helped me keep organized, on budget, experience the ultimate wedding, and overall, allowed me to enjoy my wedding to the fullest. I have such great memories now which will last a lifetime. Thank you Fresh Events!

I had all the ability and resources to plan a great wedding by myself. I was the «wedding planner», invitation designer, makeup artist, and even emcee at my cousin’s wedding and the maid of honor at my other cousin’s wedding. so why did I feel the need to hire Amanda at Fresh Events Company?
Because I wouldn’t have been the carefree, relaxed, completely happy bride I was on my wedding day. That was the job I expected from my wedding planner and that was the job they did above and beyond.
Weddings will always be stressful up until the Big Day. Some couples question putting down a chunk of change to hire a wedding planner because they know they can do it all themselves. And they can. I just don’t think they will be as carefree and happy to enjoy every minute of their wedding if they have to worry about the florist arriving on time, giving tips to vendors at the end of the wedding, and the crazy drunk uncle making a huge scene. And then there are those who expect a wedding planner to do everything for them from choosing the venue, to hand-​making their invitations, washing their clothes, hand-​feeding them their dinner and driving them home on the night of the wedding. Yeah, that’s going to cost you a little more than that chunk of change you’re already complaining about.
I was realistic with my expectations from Amanda and she was there to support my husband and I every step of the way. I was still very hands on with all the little details of my wedding and had a couple breakdowns before the wedding as most brides do, but on the day of the wedding, I was able to stay on schedule (if you know me, this is an amazing accomplishment), EAT (not one or two bites, I ate a FULL meal), laugh, cry, dance, and enjoy every single second of my beautiful yacht wedding.
I could have planned a great wedding myself, but thanks to Amanda and Fresh Events Company. I was able to plan a great wedding AND enjoy it. which made my wedding the MOST AMAZING DAY OF MY LIFE! :)

We were lucky enough to find such a wonderful and talented
wedding coordinator «Amanda» (Freseh Events Company). Amanda was calm, organized, timely, and genuinely excited about our wedding. We were afraid the wedding may not turn out like we had planned. Initially, I felt planning our wedding in less
than 2 months seemed like an impossible task. I remembered at our first meeting, both of you and Ada gave me the strength and faith to believe WE CAN DO IT! And in the end, everything turned out perfect and fabulous.
I know it is only «day of coordination» but Amanda truly went
above and beyond our expectations. Amanda have been helpful and wonderful to work with. We could not have imagined working with anyone else. Amanda is a true professional and great at what she is doing.
