Don't even think twice- Naomi and her team are the way to go! My vision was realized perfectly and I couldn't be happier with the way our wedding turned out. Hiring DNT paid for itself in the money we saved from Naomi's negotiating skills, and knowledge of the industry. She advised us on all the areas where we could save some money, while suggesting a few things that would be worth it to splurge on- and she was spot on! Some of the little details she suggested made such a huge impact and they were things we never would have even considered. Our wedding was more beautiful than we could have imagined AND we were slightly UNDER budget! Which is especially impressive considering we changed venues 7 months out from the wedding and didn't get our deposit back from the original venue! Naomi was incredible in helping us find a new venue and the new Venue- Marina Del Rey Marriott - turned out to fit our style even better than the first! 

Every Vendor she recommended was top class. All of her ideas as far as lighting and decor were fabulous and the organization on thedayofmade the whole day completely stress free and so enjoyable for my husband and I. And we know our guests had a blast too! We're still getting texts from friends and family telling us it was the most elegant and fun wedding they've ever been to!!

You may not know this now, but you need DNT Elite Events for your special event. DNT was the best wedding gift ever. I didn't realize how much I needed DNT until the day of/the morning after when I thought about all they did to make our wedding day the BEST DAY EVER:

1. Naomi (lead coordinator) took over vendor correspondence a few weeks before the wedding--this was SUCH a relief because keeping track of 13+ vendors is a full-time job in itself! During the days leading up to the event, she was also able to save me money. My biggest regret is not hiring her for more than just month-of services.
2. Naomi and her team of DNT associates took care of every need the dayof. Hate the burlap on your bouquet? DNT comes equipped with scissors and will cut the burlap off for you. Need a bobby pin? DNT's got you covered. Want to eat all that food you paid for? DNT shows up with a plateful of appetizers. Even emergency kits for myself and my wedding party too!
3. NOT ONE LOGISTICAL QUESTION came my way the day of the wedding. Issues, that I learned about later with some poking and prodding, that I am SO happy I did not know of the day of the wedding. 
4. To top the night off, DNT made up our room with candles and repurposed the petals we had for the ceremony to leave a floral heart wreath on our bed along withsweet note from the team. They also made sure my bouquet was back in the room too. 

They thought of every single detail and go above and beyond to make it a day to remember. I am eternally grateful for all that Naomi and her team did. Without DNT Elite Events, my BEST DAY EVER may not have been the best day ever.

I don't even know where to start. If I can catch your attention now, let me just say, if you want your wedding to be more beautiful than the movies- hire Naomi and her team. 

DNT doesn't just treat a wedding like any day. The moment we were able to witness how Naomi and her team handled a wedding before ours, my husband now and I were both convinced that EVERYTHING will be HANDLED without our need to do anything on the wedding day! She and her team are practically like the production team of a movie, her being the director, and the rest of the gang as the crewmen, making sure YOUR script and storyline is being followed and implemented correctly - and by script and storyline, I mean YOUR vision. She and her team carried around a VERY detailed timeline of YOUR day, including protocol songs, what time to wake up, what time to take a break,  contact #'s and information of EVERYONE assigned to anything (vendors, bridal party, etc) that she WON'T need to pull YOU for anything on the day of your wedding, and all you worry about are your emotions and the love that you feel on that day (which is truly what a wedding should be about for all brides and grooms)!

My husband and I are VERY picky with everything and just like most of you, we really do a thorough research on ALL the vendors we picked for our wedding- including the planner. We had a pros and cons spreadsheet for every part of the wedding. But the first time Naomi did her phone consultation with us, we already wrote a lot of pros! And that was before meeting her in person. The way she interviewed us about our dream wedding was very thorough- and you can easily tell her attention to DETAILS, not to mention, her attention to what's important to US. And even more impressively, she remembered all these factors throughout the process, and advocated for me when I got to the point in the wedding preparation to tackle what I said was most important to me, but was starting to get stressed out and was letting go of its importance. She reminded me to push for what matters to us. She is super organized and always reviews her notes when you meet or talk with her. This was very helpful for us as she makes every meeting/conference efficient, especially with my husband's and my conflicting work schedules.

My husband and I are also very detail-oriented and visionaries. We had so many ambitions and ideas, probably sometimes too out-of-the-norm. Yet Naomi was open to ALL of these out-of-the-ordinary ideas; as an example, a photo scavenger hunt from the ceremony location TO the reception- which she herself and her team helped in a BIG way to put together for us! Our guests were surprisingly excited to participate, and it was all because of how she contributed on how to give our idea a little twist! Her imagination is just infinite and you can pick on her brain if you wanna get really creative with your wedding day!!

And the most important part that everyone worries about-$$. Naomi helped us save a good deal of $! She took care of negotiating with our vendors!!! We gave her our budget, told her our ambitious vision, and she took care of the rest. She made sure that our vision was fulfilled given the budget we had by giving us SEVERAL alternatives without lessening the quality of what we could get. She is very honest with what would matter. She helped us make decisions on where to allocate our resources without sacrificing the beauty of our dream day. And with her familiarity with our venue and vendors, she helped us optimize the money we spent, and she was totally on our side. Given that she works with vendors, we still felt that NAOMI WAS OUR ALLY. She was very transparent with us and genuinely helped us save as much as we can. She is able to empathize with how brides' and grooms' pockets look like when they plan and fund their wedding ;)  
And she only refers vendors that do an excellent job in making your day elegant and beautiful!! We can tell that what matters to her is that every wedding day HAS TO BE BEAUTIFUL AND NEVER SECOND BEST, be it be yours. She treated the whole process as if it were hers, making sure nothing was jeopardized.

And did I say she can be an Editor-In-Chief??? She poured her heart into proofing EVERY SINGLE WORD in EVERY SINGLE STATIONERY we had - wedding website, invitation, table menu, poster boards, decorations. And when I say proofing, it wasn't just looking at the grammar, but the alignment, the size of the text, the LOOK of whatever decor or stationery it was.. Everything! She was available all the time to look at all these things we ordered so we can get them checked before printed. And her criticisms are truthful, again, and EXACT.

And to finish it off, when the day came and we met her team, we knew we were in good hands. All of them were so caring, flexible, and will do ANYTHING to make you feel like you and your groom are the king and queen of the day. We look back to our day often, and we have no regrets choosing DNT.

"You can tell Naomi anything, vague or extremely specific, and she'll get to work on it right away..."

Naomi and her team were the single greatest decision we made for our wedding. Naomi is amazing. She is kind, fun and so supportive. I got the full package with DNT events. Which means, I spent a year working very closely with Naomi. You can tell Naomi anything, vague or extremely specific, and she'll get to work on it right away. She will always find a way to make your vision come to light. 
My husband and I wanted a really casual, fun pre-wedding event called the Sangeet. It's usually a big party the night before the wedding. We knew we wanted food trucks. That's all we told her and Naomi created something amazing and somehow figured out what we wanted even though we weren't able to verbalize it. String lights, Moroccan themed seating, hookah, etc. It was amazing. The pictures attached will give you some idea of what the DNT crew can do.

They are also greatwith Indian weddings. Indian weddings are beasts. They tend to be grand and extremely detailed. Naomi did amazing with it and knew way more than me about Indian weddings. Naomi also saved us a TON of money. Her negotiation skills are on point. I just can't say enough great things about DNT. I feel like this review doesn't do them justice. Just get them for your wedding, you wont be sorry. Promise.

I really cannot say enough about Naomi and Yvonne!!! We were so so so happy with the way everything turned out on our wedding day because of them! If you are doing research and looking for the best team to help coordinate your big day look no further, these ladies are your go to team for a successful and stress free wedding day. My fiancé and I did thorough research on different wedding coordinators and read endless reviews on Yelp and other wedding websites before we found Naomi and Yvonne. When we read all of the countless positive reviews we knew we were in good hands!

Namoi and Yvonne helped my fiancé and I plan and execute our wedding in Los Angeles, CA while we were living in Chicago, IL. From the moment we contacted them for a consultation they were super helpful and more importantly calmed me down and helped me feel at ease. Our wedding in my opinion was a bit complex beginning with planning the wedding from a different state, our guest count exceeded 320 people, we had 2 live bands, a DJ, and our ceremony location was different from the venue location. It was a lot for us to handle and as soon as we decided to move forward with hiring them, they quickly took charge and broke everything down to small, manageable, and easy tasks. Whereas before I was feeling extremely overwhelmed and very anxious about attempting to make our wedding a success.

They communicated with us regularly, asked all the right questions, they took the time to get to know my fiancé and I, and they did not mind me bugging them with questions and asking for their opinions throughout the process. They were very meticulous, detailed, and thorough with their planning and execution. I absolutely loved the wedding itineraries they provided us and all of our wedding party and so did everyone who was a part of our wedding. They were so professional and efficient! We were absolutely blown away with their amazing work and tireless efforts to help make our wedding our DREAM WEDDING!!! It truly was the wedding of ours dreams!!! I can't thank them enough for everything they did for us!

Our guests all noticed how well equipped and prepared they were on the big day! Everyone kept raving about how amazing they were and everything on our big day went so smoothly and flowed so beautifully throughout the night! We were so impressed and so were our guests!!! It was an unforgettable and magical night and we know that it was all because of Namoi, Yvonne, and the entire DNT team who helped make our wedding so special!!!! Thank you ladies!!! Can't wait to work together again for our baby shower :) XOXO

Naomi and her team are incredible, to say the least.  They are the sole reason that our wedding went off without a hitch!  I got married at the Langham in Pasadena and specifically chose Naomi because I knew she had done a lot of other weddings at Langham before.  Little did I know, she was going to be the most helpful person in my planning process, and on the day of. 

Naomi is a busy gal, but she seems to handle everything and doesn't let an email get forgotten. I got the "month-of" coordination package from her, but she was involved well before the month before my wedding.  She helped give me guidance on floral design, my invitation design, and my tablecloth colors even though this wasn't technically something she was contracted to do.  She also joined me at my food tasting and my last floral consultation so that she could really understand my vision for the wedding.

On the day of, she showed up with 4 other superstars, all connected by earpiece radio, and all super sweet, professional, and respectful.  They not only tended to me and my husband to make sure we had everything we needed at any moment, but they treated my family the same way and it truly was a pampered day for everyone.  One of Naomi's superstars also happened to speak Taiwanese, so she spoke with my Taiwanese family members when directing them for family photos, I couldn't have even dreamed this could happen! 

Naomi knows how to think of the big picture to make sure that we have the experience we dream of. She knows to handle any hiccups to her best ability without dragging me through the stress of whatever might be happening.  But on top of that, she knows how to think about the small details and I think that truly sets her far above the others out there.  She gave each of mybridesmaids little care packages for the day of.  She and her team decorated my hotel room the night of the wedding.  They moved everything we wanted/needed to take home back to my hotel room without me having to worry about anything.  Everything came back in its perfect condition and nothing was lost. 

Every family member we spoke to also could tell how incredible Naomi and her team were and they were praising Naomi and her team as much as we were.  There is truly no other choice if you're considering a wedding planner.

Are you a UNIQUE bride who dreams of a gorgeous and fun wedding your guests will forever remember and cherish?? I am a very particular bride and REFUSED to have a cookie-cutter wedding that blends in with everyone else's wedding. NOPE! I wanted everything customized in a non-traditional wedding. Even the wedding venue I picked was a unique space (albeit a gorgeous venue!) with an unusual layout. True story. Oh, just to make this wedding planning process more complicated, I had only 4 MONTHS or so until the wedding and a grueling work schedule.   

I had already selected the venue and the theme & look of the wedding but had a hard time executing due to my work schedule. With the wedding date fast approaching, I struggled juggling work and wedding planning. So my then-fiancé-now-hubby decided to give Naomi a call and hired her team for the month-of & day-of package + design consultation service. In retrospect, it was the BEST decision we ever made!!!

WEDDING PLANNING:  Naomi makes wedding planning process completely painless.  She is quick to grasp your vision for the wedding (mine was pretty off-beat but she got it right away!). Then she bulldozes through the work promptly and meticulously, all with her sincere and cheerful attitude. Amazing! Naomi will research, negotiate price, and coordinate with all the vendors so you won't have to deal with them.  She also offers consultation on the look of the wedding, researches props & decors, then purchases the items (with your approval), so you won't have to waste time researching or shopping. She has tons of creative ideas to enhance the wedding without making a significant financial impact. She is extremely thorough, responsive, and did I mention EXTREMELY THOROUGH?  THIS GIRL IS ON TOP OF EVERYTHING!! Even with all the curve balls I threw at her with many demands and requests for a non-traditional wedding, she patiently listened and delivered results that exceeded our expectations. 

WEDDING DAY COORDINATION:  On the day of, our wedding day looked gorgeous with the décor on point down to every detail. Her team consistently checked in with us to make sure we are comfortable and all our needs are met throughout the day. Our guests felt comfortable and well-taken care of, and the day's events flowed flawlessly.  Honestly, my husband and I simply showed up to our wedding, had fun, and laughed through every segment of our day without a care in the world. But my husband and I were not the only ones relaxing and enjoying ourselves--our guests still talk about how much FUN they had at our wedding!!  Naomi's creative ideas kept the guests engaged and her team made sure all the guests and vendors are taken care of and having a good time.  So much so that the guests did not want to leave after the last song! So we had to extend the reception to keep the party going longer! Now, that's a GREAT wedding! BONUS: they left our honeymoon suite filled with romantic flowers and candles as a surprise for us to find at the end of the night. It was the most perfectly romantic ending to an amazing wedding night!

AFTERTHOUGHT: Naomi and her team are beyond amazing and my husband and I are 100% convinced that we owe the success of our wedding to DNT. The most common feedback on our wedding from our guests (and even some vendors!) are "unique", "classy", and "the most fun wedding", and that's exactly what we were aiming for!  As a super particular, perfectionist bride, I HIGHLY recommend her services to ALL brides.  My husband and I had the time of our lives and we both WANTED to give her more money at the end of the night. Seriously guys, SHE. IS. WORTH. EVERY. PENNY. and more!!! Hire Naomi and her team, then sit back, relax, and enjoy as your dream wedding unfolds :)

I am so happy that I went with DNT Elite Events for my husband's 50th milestone party. Being a new mom, I had no time to plan a big party that I knew I wanted for my husband. I had a vision in mind but no way of executing it. About 6 weeks to his birthday, I ended up reaching out last minute to Naomi and it was the best thing I did. She is not only professional, detail oriented, and creative but very friendly, reassuring, and a pleasure to work with. Her team is also top notch. Kerika is the best :)

I opted forfull service planning but wanted to give some direction for the decor. She guided me through everything so I felt involved in the planning but not enough to overwhelm me. The party was AMAZING and my husband felt so special, loved and celebrated. Everyone kept raving about the party, venue, decor and entertainment. Naomi helped me find a DJ and Photographer and both were outstanding.

Before hiring DNT, I'd never used an event planner before and thought they were mostly for weddings. However, I can say that DNT has saved me a ton of money (via negotiating venues and vendors) and time. My husband and I had an absolute blast at his party without having to stress about planning it and that in itself is PRICELESS. I highly highly recommend Naomi and her team at DNT Elite Events. They are worth every cent and I will definitely be using them in the future.
