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 😉

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!
