Lumiani Events

My wedding has come and gone and now in a moment of reflection I realized that I need to let the world know about Lumiani, Nhu and the rest of her team.
I met Nhu as she was the planner for my friend’s wedding. I could tell she was on it, so, when it was my turn I asked for Nhu’s contact. I didn’t even shop around, because after talking to her for 15 mins — I felt that I would be in the BEST hands — and I was right!
I hired the Lumiani team for the whole shebang! I asked them to offer me the top 3 choices for each vendor within my budget and provided them a pinterest inspiration board — and they made my dreams come true. It was worth every penny — they saved where it mattered and spent where it mattered and really made my pinterest board dreams come true.
They were accommodating to my mom who has very strong opinions and made sure that everyone was happy. I’m sure something didn’t go to plan (its just natural) but I never heard a thing about it.
If you want to have the BEST TEAM help to create the wedding of your dreams (Big or Small) this is where you want to be.
My Deepest Gratitude to Nhu, Queenie, Cathy and Linda for really making it a day I will never forget. THANK YOU! #bestdayever (Sorry Nhu…)

My husband and I can’t thank Nhu enough for all of her help. From the first time we spoke about planning options I knew she would be a great help not only in the planning process but also on the day of the wedding. We were planning from another state so it was important to find someone that was easy to communicate with. She was willing to have phone conferences when needed and always answered emails, text messages, etc quickly. I also really appreciated the fact that she is highly organized. Nhu directly contacted all other vendors (photographers, DJ, church etc) to establish timelines for the day of the wedding. She also saved the day when she offered to create beautiful wedding programs when I had problems with the stationary I was working with originally. If you’re looking for a top notch planners, Nhu and her team are the ones to hire!

Lumiani Events was great. The service they provided for our wedding was excellent and I highly recommend them. They really took a lot off of our plates, especially as the wedding got closer and closer. They really took care of our needs and adapted to us versus us adapting to them. I really appreciated Linda’s help, she was professional but she really knew how to connect with my wife and I. You can tell that she really enjoyed making sure our wedding day was perfect. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for people they can trust in making your visions of how you want your wedding to be into a reality.

We highly recommend the team at Lumiani for wedding planning services! Our wedding was on 12/​19/​2015 at the Loft on Pine. From our initial meetings, it was clear that Lumiani is in the business to make the wedding day memorable and special for the bride and groom. They took the time to get to know the two of us, our interests and what makes us unique as individuals and as a couple. We initially were interested in day-​of coordinator services but after getting to know us better, we loved so many of the ideas they bounced around that they helped us with so much more. We were lost as to what specific things we wanted in terms of décor and themes. For example, we were so close to pulling the trigger on generic do-​it-​yourself wedding invitations online but knowing our vintage tastes and unique venue, the team designed our invites, RSVP’s, menus, and thank you cards from scratch. From this personalized touch, to their recommendations on specific vendors and decorations, Lumiani helped create a night that we could not have imagined better. The night went smoothly and the two of us did not have to worry about anything at all on our wedding day. They are a team of dedicated, talented, and hard-​working individuals that we would love to recommend to anyone looking into wedding planners.

From my wife: My husband and I hired Lumiani Events for the day of coordination. After researching and speaking with other coordinators, I knew I had to hire Nhu when her response to my email was immediate. When I found out she and her team spoke a second language so they could communicate with our guests, I knew Lumiani would be a perfect fit. Nhu helped me through all the planning leading up to the wedding and I appreciated the weekly checklists that she sent in addition to responding to all our other email threads really quickly. It felt like she was really on top of making sure everything we needed was done. She was also there to reassure me during my panicked phone calls whenever something came up. When you talk to her, you feel calm and confident at the end of the conversation that she will fix whatever is going wrong. On our wedding day I did not feel stressed because I knew I could trust Nhu to take care of talking to the vendors, making sure the venue was set up correctly and following the timeline. I would definitely recommend using Lumiani events!

Let me start by saying this review is beyond long over due (Sorry Nhu) and very detailed lol. Luckily, because 3÷21÷15 was the most incredible day of my life, it is ingrained deeply in my memory forever!
My mom and I did most of the planning and had nearly all of our vendors in mind but needed to tighten up the loose ends and Lumiani Events (Nhu specifically) was recommended to us through one of their previous clients. We chose the Day of Coordination package and I contacted Nhu and gave her my vision for our wedding. I love that she looked at my Pinterest page to get a better idea of what I was talking out. She quickly got the contacts for all of my vendors and accompanied me to all of my final meetings with them over the next few months.
Nhu was excellent at responding to any crazy panicked calls or emails that I sent which was extremely reassuring. She was so caring and always ready to offer assistance when I freaked out about something or other (Which was kinda often) One of the many amazing things that she helped me with was convincing my husband to have a first look! Our photographer said because our wedding was in the evening that in order to get the pictures that we wanted at City Hall that we would have to see each other before the ceremony, well… hubby wasn’t having it. So Nhu sent over a pro/​con list complete with tantalizing first look videos and he was sold!
From the beginning I told Nhu all of my must haves even if they weren’t readily available or conventional lol, she always found what I wanted! Like my Kim Kardashian inspired flower wall, she got it for me! And somehow managed to convince them to move it from the ceremony backdrop to the backdrop of my sweetheart table for the reception even though they had never assembled, disassembled then reassembled a wall at an event. Lol yup, she’s incredibly persuasive and my hero!
I can talk about all the amazing little things she did prior to the wedding but I’ll be here all day! So fast forward to the wedding day Nhu and her team were phenomenal! Nhu was one of the first people that I saw that day and seamlessly made her way around the hotel room and offered help wherever needed!
While taking our pictures at City Hall (close to 3 hours!) about half way through, Queenie appears literally out of nowhere (still not sure how she found us lol) with snacks and cold water, um yes please! We were so grateful for her.
I’m sure the team did countless behind the scenes things for us and probably put out lots of potential fires! This was one that I heard about via my mom lol Nhu wouldn’t tell me anything negative that happened, even after the wedding: One of the fabulous team members (maybe Cathy?) noticed that our sign in wine bottles were missing (someone thought they were gifts and took them? Hubby’s family not mine lol) and they somehow managed to track them down even though they were not in plain sight!
When I say that our wedding day went off without a hitch, I absolutely mean it. There was so much love and care put into our special day by the Lumiani Team. They surprised us with custom table numbers AND menus (we had an crazy extensive menu btw) the intricate black and blush pattern matched our invitations to a tee! They were absolutely beautiful and complimented the tables perfectly!
These ladies are gems, they’re truly one of kind and it is clear that they take pride in their work. It was such a pleasure meeting them and we feel truly blessed to have had the opportunity to work with them!

Lumiani is a DREAM team.
When you think of event planner. You want someone who is not only responsible and organized. More importantly you want they to have creative eyes and able to bring your life to life !!
I have witnessed their works for myself, my friends and my clients. Each and every event is executed perfectly.
Personally, Nhu and her team planned my baby shower and my anniversary photoshoot. I gave them some inspiration pictures and they turned them into reality, a 100 times better reality. For example, on my photoshoot I only mentioned a word: secret garden. They basically created a garden in a park with only trees and grass for me. Til this day I still have no idea how they did it.
They also help to plan and design my best friend’s wedding. The attention to details, design abilities and organization blew my mind away.
Moreover, I worked with them for many clients weddings. Each wedding is unique and organized. It says again the consistency as well as diversity of their works.
They went out of their way to make their clients happy. They work with your vision and your budget. I can go on and on about how amazing they are.
Most importantly, they are genius and beautiful inside out !!! Working with them is like working with your friends. You know they got your back no matter what ! Where else can you find a wedding planner like them !!?
Nhu, Linda, Cathy, Eunice, Jackie and Qunnie, you ladies rock !!!

Let me just start with saying Lumiani is the best! Nhu was so amazing during the planning of our wedding last weekend. Her genuine love for weddings makes her so fun to work with. Nhu and the Lumiani team are so talented at taking your vision and executing it down to every detail. When I began working with Nhu the main vendors were established. Wedding planning from the Bay Area was becoming more overwhelming than I imagined. My friend in the wedding business herself advised that I talk to Lumiani and just get a feeling for what they had to offer. Nhu and I chatted over the phone about the details and I instantly connected with her. Sometimes you just need another person (other than your fiancé or wedding party) to bounce ideas off and to explore options for how you want the day to go. Adding this service to the budget is a must. It’ll save your sanity! Your bridesmaids will be happy too! Now that the wedding is over, I will have to say that finding vendors that are not only talented, but people you get along with and enjoy talking to is key. Nhu guided me throughout the whole wedding planning process and Linda was so great to hangout with the day of. Jackie designed our paper goods for signage and tables that turned out amazing. These are a group of talented women and we are soooo lucky and forever grateful to have worked with them.

For our big day, my husband and I knew we couldn’t pull it off without the best kind of help… The incredible planning skills of Lumiani Events. We’ve had the fortune of experiencing firsthand the professionalism and creativity of this team for many other events so it was a natural choice to have them help us make our wedding day dreams come true. We worked closely with Nhu to plan a most unique day of celebrations. My husband decided that we should keep this moment of our lives to ourselves by planning a flash wedding instead of just the traditional beautiful wedding we had initially imagined. So we went ahead with plans for a very intimate and secret ceremony and reception. With Nhu’s excellent help, we were able to successfully plan a beautiful, unique and very special day for ourselves and a few close family and friends. We couldn’t imagine anyone else helping us to plan, organize and pull off our special day besides Nhu. She is thoughtful, responsive, professional, considerate and all things wonderful for the bride and groom. Look no further than Lumiani Events for the perfect group to work with for your special occassion. We also had the chance to work with Cathy who is energetic, professional and a joy to work with. She helped organize things at the reception location as Nhu managed things for the ceremony and kept things moving throughout the day. We can’t wait to work with them again. We love Lumiani events and you most certainly will too. Cheers!

Hiring Nhu from Lumiani Events as our wedding planner was the best wedding decision we made (apart from choosing to marry each other). From the beginning, Nhu was always on our team, which was very important when stressful obstacles appeared. Nhu helped connect us with vendors who provided the exact services and products we wanted and were also within our budget. On several occasions, vendors attempted to change the terms of our negotiations and Nhu was vigilant in protecting our interests.
Our work schedules made it very difficult for us to compare options (venues, band, flowers, etc.). Nhu exceeded our expectations by giving us detailed instructions, links and contacts to allow us to review the options quickly in order to make decisions within the appropriate time frame.
When we started planning our wedding, we did not know where to begin. In the end, we had a rehearsal dinner, a Thai ceremony, a Jewish ceremony and a beautiful reception. Everything was perfect and we stayed within our budget. It would not have been possible without Nhu!

Nhu and her team made our day perfect. From start to finish we loved all of it and was truly able to enjoy the event! Nhu is professional, incredibly organized, responsive, and creative. She is also highly approachable which was something that was important to us. After all, it was one of the biggest days and we wanted someone we were completely comfortable with.
Nhu listened took all of our ideas, enhanced it, pulled it all together and put on an amazing event. She kept us on target throughout the months of planning. She created a timeline, set mini goals for us to accomplish, and checked in with us periodically to make sure that we were doing okay. She walked us through every step, including vendor selections, budgeting, décor. We wanted a beautiful event but we also wanted to stick to our budget. She was realistic with us on the budgeting portion and was able to get us the best price when it came to purchasing (through her good relationships with her vendors) and coordinated a gorgeous event. Who says you have to spend a fortune for an event-​this is were her creative abilities really shined!
On the day of the event, everything was just as we hoped for-​we had a blast, the guests commented on how much fun they had, everyone said how beautiful it was. The room and decorations were fabulous and ready prior to any guests arrival. There was no tying lose ends as the event began. She was extremely organized and made sure things were in order. Everything went off without a hitch. Nhu did an amazing job keeping everyone (us, guests, vendors, photographers, venue) together and directed flawlessly. Everyone and everything was exactly where it was suppose to be.
We are so pleased and happy to have Nhu and her team join us on our big day! Thank you Lumiani Events!

From the Groom:
I couldn’t be happier to have had Lumiani Events work with us on our wedding!
We were recommended Lumiani Events through a close friend whose wedding they had coordinated. I was indifferent about a coordinator at first and it was my then-​fiancé/​now wife who set up our consultation appointment. By the end of the first meeting with them, I was confident that they would be valuable in helping us with our ambitious wedding plans. We discussed what we wanted in our wedding and they quickly picked up the things that were important to us. They saw our vision for the wedding while also pointing out areas where we needed to put further consideration.
We worked with Nhu a lot in the time preparing for the wedding. She would occasionally check in on how things were progressing to make sure we would make our deadlines and she was always available whenever we had questions. A couple of months before the wedding she really jumped in and took a lot of stress off our shoulders.
By the time of the wedding, I was fully confident that Nhu understood how we wanted the wedding to go and with the help of Linda and Cathy, they ensured that we didn’t have anything to worry about except to relax and enjoy time together with friends and family.
Despite nearly a year and a half of planning beforehand, a few issues came up before and during the wedding that had to be dealt with. Lumiani Events did an excellent job of insulating us from these problems until it was necessary for our involvement. We don’t even know how many behind the scenes problems were resolved without us knowing.
I would highly recommend Nhu and Lumiani Events! Their combined experience allowed us to have a the wedding of our dreams, without any problems, all at an amazing price!
From the Bride:
I agree with everything my husband said so I don’t have much to add. Lumiani was amazing.
I knew I wanted Nhu to coordinate my wedding from the start. I was a bridesmaid at a wedding she coordinated so by the time my wedding came along I knew I wanted Nhu and her team on my side.
Out of all the choices I made for our wedding, hiring Lumiani was the best decision we made. The price for wedding coordination services was extremely reasonable and Nhu and her team are worth every penny. I didn’t have to worry about anything on the day of our wedding, which was exactly why I wanted a wedding coordinator.
The Lumiani staff also has great taste and they were able to see our vision and help us make the right design choices.
You get professionalism, experience and enthusiasm with Lumiani, as well as peace of mind which is so important for a wedding.

Nhu Muon and her partners are AMAZING!!! For some reason I thought I would be fine planning our wedding on my own since I am unemployed I’d have plenty of time. Until I was seriously stressing out while looking for a venue for 450 people within my budget. 5 months of searching for a perfect venue was worrying me, until I was introduced to Nhu she helped us find the one within a month! I love this woman! Nhu is so sweet and bubbly, we connected the very first time we talked over the phone I just knew she would be perfect for us. She is extremely organized, quickly replies to any questions or concerns, and most of all really gave me the best advice when I had so many emotional ups and downs (and there were a lot of downs). She is very understanding and experienced in every situation I threw at her, she always had a solution. Her and her team really gave me great ideas and help me put together the theme of our wedding. They even helped me with all my DIY projects!
The day of the wedding was on a very tight schedule since I had to have a tea ceremony, catholic church ceremony, and then reception (7am-​12am). She was with me the entire day and she kept us on time by the minutes! I seriously believe I would have been on time to anything if I didn’t have her! She has all my vendors on point! The venue was gorgeous! Everything was breathless and exceeded our expectations! Alll my friends and family still talk about how amazing the wedding was, and that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. I really couldn’t have done anything without her. I’m so happy she was there with my husband and I, through the entire planning process because it was for the most important day to the beginning of our lives together. Thank you so much Nhu for all your help and making our dreams come alive.

Hiring Lumiani Events for my wedding was the best choice I ever made. Nhu and her team were so accommodating and professional. I hired them about 2 months before my actual wedding and they made the whole process so seamless. My fiancé (now husband) and I lived in Seattle while we were planning our wedding in Los Angeles. Nhu was amazing! We saw each other 3 times before my wedding but kept in contact through email and phone meetings. She was very responsive and attentive to my needs. She was so organized and detailed that I barely had to do anything on my own. She also had great connections to other vendors that we used most of the vendors she recommended. Not only was Nhu professional and gracious but she was so friendly and outgoing it was like I was talking to a childhood friend.
On the day of my wedding Nhu had two other people from her team come and help. They were all wonderful and patient (especially with 300 guests). I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding coordinator! I’ve recommended her to all my engaged friends because I honestly feel that my wedding wouldn’t have gone so smoothly without this team by my side.
You won’t regret hiring them for your wedding.

There’s a reason why Lumiani Events always get 5 stars… these girls are AMAZING! Lumiani Events were the coordinators for a wedding were I was one of the bridesmaids. Seeing how organized they were and how well they executed the event, I knew I wanted them for my wedding. Throughout the entire planning stage, they were responsive and kept me on track. I met with them several times to go over the big day and they were great in helping me list out what I needed to get done. Nhu does an amazing job of keeping you on track of your vision… a lot of times I wanted to do things outside of the style/​look I was going for but Nhu kept pulling me back and gave me alternatives. My wedding was a destination wedding in Vegas so we offered shuttle service from the strip to our venue. Linda met my guests at the pick up location and ensured our guests arrived on time to our wedding. My guests commented on how friendly and organized she was. Cathy was the day of coordinator and was there while me and my bridal party got ready. She kept us on schedule as we got ready, did first look and took bridal pictures. She was extremely patient with me throughout the entire night too. I’m very action oriented and kept asking her what the next activity was! The wedding was absolutely beautiful and it was everything I wanted. I am still getting comments from my guests that it was the best wedding they attended… beautiful and extremely well planned! These girls are professional, creative and the sweetest people… you definitely want them for your wedding coordinators!

My wedding was beyond perfect because I had Lumiani Events by my side all through the way. I decided that I needed a wedding planner because I had no idea where to start. Yes, there are great resources on the Internet and magazines and friends, but I knew I needed a professional to guide me through this process. I chose Lumiani because they had excellent reviews and I felt the good vibe and energy from Nhu and Cathy during our initial consultation.
Their full service package was worth every penny. The girls at Lumiani was extremely professional, quick at responding by phone and email, and very organized and detailed. They are so sweet and caring, I felt so comfortable trusting them to help me plan my wedding. They helped me stay on budget, shopped different vendors that fit my criteria, stay on track with the timeline, design my beautiful and cost effective invitation, and listened and delivered every little detail that I requested. The best part of it all was I didn’t have to drive and meet the different vendors. Since I live 1 hr away from the venue and most of my vendors, Nhu and the girls coordinated everything on my behalf and just reported back to me with the outcome and results. It saved me a lot of time and energy. Another great aspect that Lumiani has is that they are a tech savvy and paperless company. We shared everything via email and Dropbox, and google doc, so there was easy access to all my ideas and input. You also want Lumiani on your side because you want Nhu Muon to read all your contracts. She is so precise, she’ll ensure you’ll get everything you want in writing and more. That’s a good wedding planner!
My wedding day came and I was blown away by everything. Everyone who saw me, asked if I was ok, because they said I was the most calm and relaxed bride they’ve seen. I had zero stress planning the wedding and the day of, I just went along with the day because I trusted Nhu, Cathy and Linda had everything under control.
I would definitely recommend hiring Lumiani Events for your wedding or any event!
Thank you Girls!

I recently attended an event coordinated by these gals and must give credit where credit is due. Not only was everything executed flawlessly, but I was also impressed with the high level of pride they take in their work and their professionalism. Nothing gets by them, which instills a great deal of confidence in all who are able to behold their work. Indeed, they literally perform on a higher level by anticipating things that one would not normally contemplate and asking the tough questions. I would not hesitate to bring them in for my next corporate or personal event!

I have worked with this crew on multiple events and cannot vouch for a better team! They are all soooo on top of things — it’s pretty mind blowing! And what I love the most is how sweet they all are, and how much they care. They really treat you like family yet still making sure everything is in tip top shape, on time, and to your liking.
They really listen to what you want and personalize everything to your style. And they do all this for such a reasonable and affordable price! You can tell they all do it out of love and not for the money or fame like so many others in the wedding industry.
I admire how they are consistently able to maintain such superb quality no matter which vendor or venue, and the personalized service is ridiculous. I personally wouldn’t be able to handle all the crazy brides & grooms to be! Not only that, they all have day jobs, yet the attention and dedication they have accounts for way more than any full time job demands! I seriously don’t know how they even have time to do their other jobs!
It’s quite nice how each member of the team has their specialties and duties, yet they are all extremely competent to handle the entire event on their own. I’ve fallen in love with the gals at Lumiani — Nhu, Linda & Cathy — Anyone would be lucky to have them work your event!
