Here’s what Antonio & Casandra had to say about their big day with us ✨💬💍

“Platinum Event Planning and Management helped my wife and I create the most perfect wedding.

From finding all of our vendors, to coordinating day of planning, everything went as smoothly as could be. Monica was always communicative with us, letting us know what we had to do and when we had to have it completed by. Her team provided various vendors for a specific need, that would allow us to choose what fit our wants and preferences. From the moment we had initially met with Monica, she demonstrated knowledge and professionalism that we knew felt was right.

We were happy to have had her and her team plan and coordinate our wedding, and are recommending her to friends and family who are also marrying in the future! One of our favorite things about our experience with her team was that they all felt like family, and were there to truly make sure everything went perfectly and was as least-stressful for us all.

Thank you Platinum for your passion and dedication We would hire Monica and her team for any of our event needs.”

Wedding mornings can be hectic! Here are some reminders we always share with couples to make sure they start their wedding day right! ❤️

#weddingplanning #weddingplanner #weddingdetails #socalweddingplanner #californiaweddingplanner

Planners LIVE by the timeline! Even though we KNOW things can go off schedule, we’re always watching the time and our handy dandy wedding briefing sheet #iykyk 😉

#weddingplanning #weddingplanner #weddingdetails #weddingtimeline

Sometimes brides and grooms can get caught up in the stress of planning the perfect wedding day. When that happens, here’s a reminder: at the end of the day, it’s about celebrating your love surrounded by the people you care about. And we at Platinum consider it a success when we see the smiles and hear the laughter from the bride, groom, and all their wedding guests 💕

Whether or not you have a sweet tooth, a wedding reception just isn’t complete without dessert! Once the lights dim and the dancing begins, a late-night treat is something most guests look forward to.

Here are some of our favorite dessert ideas from recent weddings!

🍰 Full Dessert Spread – A classic! Guests love the variety, and the mini bite-sized treats make it easy to sample everything.

🍩 Mochi Donut Tower – A unique and fun dessert choice that isn’t seen often at weddings! This was a special request from the couple since it’s one of their favorites—and they turned out absolutely adorable!

🚚 Churro & Funnel Cake Truck – What’s better than a food truck at the end of the night? A dessert truck! The perfect way to wrap up the celebration.

Looking for more ideas or vendor recommendations for your late-night dessert? DM us!

#WeddingParty #Bridesmaids #FirstLook #WeddingPlanning #UnforgettableMoments

Hello! I am Monica, the Founder and Managing Director of Platinum!

I have been doing wedding and event planning for more than 15 years now and I have discovered my love for organizing and planning events as early as I was in high school! I remember asking and begging my dad to allow me to plan his events for his business so I can practice! Little that I know, that was the start of my journey of pursuing my passion!

A Filipina, born and raised in the Philippines and a graduate of Integrated Marketing Communications~never in my wildest dreams that I thought that I will own a wedding and events business in the United States!

I am not just a wedding and event planner ~ I am your bestfriend, your calm during all that chaos, your therapist whom you can talk to without judgement and I am your trusted companion who will ensure that your wedding and event vision will turn into reality! I will be the one to hold your hand every step of the way, whisper words of encouragement when you’re feeling overwhelmed and cheer you on like family!

Over the years, I, together with my team have built a reputation of executing seamless, organized, well-thought of and detailed-oriented weddings and events! To top it all of, we combine our expertise with warmth~ making sure that all our couples and clients would feel that we value them not just because they hired us but because we actually care about them! More than the pretty mood boards, color palettes, stunning venues, it’s the personal connections that I value the most. After all, wedding and event planning isn’t just a job ~ it is all about building lifelong relationships!

When I am not busy crafting unforgettable moments, you’ll find me and my husband exploring different cities and countries as we are both passionate with traveling, food and culture! Aside from that, during my down time, I also love to try new cooking and baking recipes! Cooking and baking calms me down and gives me that feeling of fulfillment!

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me a little better and I look forward to being your Wedding and Event Planner and I guarantee you that your next event will be nothing short of extraordinary!

Very mindful ❤️

This beautiful but delicate wedding sign fell down from a sudden strong gust of wind while our team was setting up, breaking off a large corner of the sign. 😳 Our florist (@chitasfloraldesigns) for the day stepped up and helped us put things together and cover up the cracks to make it even more beautiful than before!

No wedding is perfect and sometimes things happen… but when you have a reliable planner and wedding team, you won’t even notice the small cracks 😉

Behind the scenes of a wedding production can sometimes be a storm… literally! 😆 This one was particularly challenging as we had to pause and restart the setup multiple times due to the rain pouring throughout the morning and afternoon. Luckily, the rain stopped just 15 minutes before the ceremony, and the rest of the day turned out beautifully. ✨

Congratulations again to our beautiful bride and groom, Ryle and Devon. May you continue to smile just as brightly through any unforecasted rain 😉

Happy anniversary to this beautiful couple! We can’t believe it’s been a year since this unforgettable San Francisco wedding! May you both continue to grow in your love and marriage 🤍 - your PLATINUM family

Not sure where to start with your wedding planning? Other than your venue and catering, these are the vendors who will make or break your wedding day so make sure you invest enough time and budget into finding the right team for you!

And yes, we know the last one isn’t a vendor team, but make sure you have the people you love most by your side as well. It’s not a party without your wedding party after all 😉

Shoutout to the best wedding team who made this day so special for Jill & Ben

We know weddings can be expensive, but cheaper doesn’t always mean better! There are so many vendors in the industry, and it can be overwhelming to look for the right team for your wedding day. That’s why it’s important to have a professional by your side. As planners, we take the time to get to know our clients and their vision so we can screen the right team for them. Even with new vendors, we can tell who is going to be a good fit for each unique couple.

And don’t fret! This is why we have our preferred vendors list too! One of the benefits of working with a planner is that we know who the best in the industry are, and we’ll always come with trusted recommendations for you!

Ready to start with your wedding planning process? Send us a DM and let’s chat!

Something borrowed or something blue? This soft and elegant theme was the perfect backdrop to this beautiful wedding day in soft shades of blue. We wish DJ & Donita a lifetime of love and happiness in their marriage! Thank you for trusting us to be a part of your wedding day 🩵

Few of the million reasons WHY you should have a FULL Wedding Planner 💕 There's so much that happens even before we get to the "I DO" part and it takes a village to make sure everything is on point and on time! As your Wedding Planner, it is my and my team's job to make sure that the bride and the groom, together with their families and friends are relaxed, happy, stress-free and more importantly, mentally and physically PRESENT during this once in a lifetime celebration!

Join us as we show you some of our behind the scenes 5 hours before anyone sees the bride and groom walk down the aisle! ❤️
