Pure Lavish Events

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Caroline at Pure Lavish Events was nothing short of incredible. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond every single expectation we had. The investment made in a wedding planning service was worth every penny — there’s absolutely no way we could have achieved the wedding of our dreams without Caroline’s hard work, organization, and dedication. Throughout the process, Caroline felt more like a friend than just our planner. She was selfless with her time, incredibly thoughtful, and poured so much energy into making every detail perfect. Some of our best memories leading up to the wedding were moments spent with Caroline, designing the wedding of our dreams and just getting so excited to see it come to life! Our venue was not the easiest to work with, but Caroline handled every interaction with professionalism and grace, ensuring we didn’t have to stress or deal with any of the challenges ourselves. That alone was a game changer and allowed us to focus our energy on other things. On the day of the wedding, she brought along Sam and Brayden, who were equally amazing. Brayden stayed by my side the entire day — from having a sewing kit ready to fix last-minute issues to offering constant calm and support — she truly saved the day more than once. We are endlessly grateful to Caroline and the Pure Lavish Events team for everything they did to make our wedding unforgettable. If you’re looking for planners who are talented, professional, and genuinely care about your happiness, we couldn’t recommend them more highly. A thousand percent recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: It’s been a year and a half since our wedding in Newport Beach, CA and our guests still comment on how fun and well planned the entire wedding weekend was. From Day One, Caroline was thoughtful, listened to our hopes and dreams for the weekend, and helped us stay true to the vibe & theme we had defined for the wedding. She provided wonderful vendor partners to work with (Jackie at Flowers by Cina nailed it!) and partnered well with others we had already secured. I can’t imagine trying to plan and coordinate it all without the help and support of the PLE team. Caroline is organized and helped keep us on track to ensure we avoided any stressful situations. We can’t wait for the next excuse to work with her again.

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t even begin to describe how amazing Sam and the entire Pure Lavish team is! My husband and I met with several planners/companies at the start of our wedding planning journey, and it was clear from the start that Sam was the best choice! She instantly made us feel comfortable and really took the time to get to know us as a couple and to understand what we were envisioning for our wedding day. It was particularly impressive how well connected she is in the industry – she knew which vendors to connect us with right away! They also all love her as much as we do! During the planning process, it became evident how much Sam not only cared about our wedding, but about us as people. She was professional, kind, and patient (despite how indecisive I was at times!). She was always willing to offer her input/advice (which we sought out often given her immense creativity and talent for design). She communicated with vendors regularly on our behalf and never hesitated to advocate for us. She was also always there to calm our nerves or to lend an ear for us to vent. The day of our wedding was perfect from start to finish. I am still blown away by how she was able to bring our vision to life FLAWLESSLY. Friends and family are still telling us to this day how incredible everything was. If there were any issues that did come up, we were not made aware of them because Sam and her team took care of them instantly (shout out to Brayden, Alli, and Merril who are also SUPERSTARS!). All in all, I could not have asked for a better person or team to be on our side on one of the most important days of our lives. We cannot recommend Sam and Pure Lavish enough, and we will sincerely miss working with them. We look forward to hopefully working with them on another event in the future!

Experiencia fantástica: Working alongside Carrie and Pure Lavish Events is always a masterclass in event execution, and their recent celebration at VEA Newport Beach was no exception. From the moment we arrived, everything, from the timeline to the décor, was thoughtfully curated and flawlessly orchestrated. As a photo and video team, we deeply appreciate a planner who creates both beauty and flow. Pure Lavish delivered on every front: a striking design, seamless transitions between moments, and a vibrant atmosphere that kept guests engaged and the energy high all night. Their attention to detail, communication, and creativity make our job not only easier, but more exciting. Every element felt intentional and elevated, making for a visually rich and emotionally powerful final film. — Anastasia

Experiencia fantástica: My husband and I were married on September 27th of last year at the beautiful Montecito Club, and we are still absolutely gushing about our experience with our wedding planner, Gia. She was, in a word, fabulous! From our very first conversation, Gia truly listened and understood the vision we had for our special day. I never once felt pressured into making decisions that didn't align with what we wanted. Instead, she took our ideas and brought them to life in a way that exceeded our expectations. Her ability to translate our dreams into reality was simply remarkable. Gia's responsiveness was a huge relief throughout the planning process. She was always easy to get a hold of, whether by phone or text, and her quick replies put us at ease. As the wedding day approached, it's natural to feel a bit nervous and wonder if everything will come together perfectly. Gia was a calming presence during those moments, reassuring us and making sure every detail was handled. On the day of our wedding, everything was absolutely phenomenal. We can confidently say that Gia's dedication and hard work made it a truly perfect day. She genuinely cared about bringing every aspect of our vision to fruition. Beyond her professionalism, Gia is also incredibly sweet, fun, and honest. She is truly exceptional at what she does, and we would recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding wedding planner.

Experiencia fantástica: A Heartfelt Thank You to Alexa Infranca at Pure Lavish – Our Incredible Wedding Planner! Words cannot fully express how thankful we are for everything Alexa did to make our wedding so unforgettable. From the very beginning, Alexa was with us every step of the way for 18 long months, she guided us through every decision, every challenge, and every detail with patience, professionalism, and heart. She never once complained, no matter how many questions we asked (and we asked a lot) or how many changes we made (we made a lot). Instead, she was always there with a smile, a solution, and unwavering support. Her dedication went far beyond what we ever expected — she truly went above and beyond in every possible way. What made Alexa so special was the love and care she poured into our wedding as if it were her own. Her passion, authenticity, and attention to detail shone through in everything she did. She exceeded our expectations time and time again and made the entire planning process feel exciting and enjoyable — not stressful. By the end, Alexa wasn’t just our wedding planner, she became like family. We truly could not have done this without her and feel so lucky to have had her by our side. Thank you, Alexa, for being such a vital part of the most meaningful day of our lives. You are simply the best. We were so proud of how our wedding turned out — and that’s all thanks to Alexa. We highly recommend Alexa and the Pure Lavish team to any couple looking for a wedding planner. Anthony and Natalya Badalian

Experiencia fantástica: Gia was the absolute best planner we would have had for our July 2023 wedding! We got married in Chicago and she quickly found amazing vendors and managed everything, even our welcome party boat ride which was not included in our package. I couldn't have imagined our day without her! Our band was crazy late to our reception, and Gia handled it so well that I wasn't even aware of it until the next day. That is all you can ask for in a planner! Will absolutely always recommend Gia and Pure Lavish to others getting married. Hoping to reconnect some day for an anniversary party :) Love ya, Gia!

Experiencia fantástica: I honestly can’t even put into words how grateful I am for our wedding planner Samantha and the entire Pure Lavish team. I had consultations with 5+ different planners in the OC area and knew hiring the right planner would make or break our wedding - hiring Samantha was by far the best decision we made. My husband and I actually live in Texas so I was a little nervous about planning a wedding in a different state but Samantha made the entire process so easy. Throughout the entire year of the wedding planning process I had so many people asking me if I was stressed - and because of Samantha the answer was no I truly never felt stressed. My wedding day was perfect, and if there WAS any issues I was never made aware it because Samantha took care of literally everything! Samantha had impeccable taste when it came to helping me with the design of my wedding, she knew exactly what my vision was and somehow was able to bring that vision to life all while keeping my wedding UNDER my budget. Again - I am so grateful for everything Samantha did for us and for everyone on Pure Lavish Team that contributed the wedding of my dreams!

Experiencia fantástica: I've had the pleasure of working with Pure Lavish Events on countless weddings and events. As a photographer myself, they are my favorite planners to work with. Not only do they take great care of their couples, but they create a stress free and beautiful celebration! I've watched their business grow over the years, and I'm so thankful to work with them on a regular basis. They are helpful, friendly, and so organized. My couples adore them, and it's easy to see why! These ladies are passionate about helping couples dream weddings come to life, and doing it with a joy that is so sincere. You cannot go wrong with Pure Lavish Events!!

Experiencia fantástica: Let me start this by saying that I am incredibly thorough and do a lot of research. If that's you too, the good news is your research can stop here if you're looking for THE BEST wedding planners/coordinators. You can rest assured that you're making the right decision and seriously, just check this one off your list and move on to all the other things you have to start thinking about!! :) The Pure Lavish team is phenomenal. Lauren was our wedding coordinator and from day one she was there to help walk me through the entire process (I had no idea how much there was to planning a wedding!). She was so quick and detailed in her responses and has an enormous amount of experience which continually set me at ease. She's a master!! Lauren was great at keeping us on track and had very sound suggestions and advice. She understood my vision and priorities and helped me create my day around that. Our wedding turned out better than I could have ever imagined! I kid you not when I say that it all went seamlessly. The day flowed effortlessly and I felt SO CALM. Sam was my bridal concierge and if you can, request her. She is AMAZING. I don't know if I can find the words to express how crucial her role was in making my day what it was. She is a PRO at what she does. She was with me the whole day and was on top of every single second and every little detail. In the meantime, Lauren was working her magic making sure that when I walked down the aisle and into the reception, every little thing was exactly where it was supposed to be and timed out perfectly. People could not stop raving about them to me! Thanks to Lauren and Sam, Josh and I were able to be fully present with one another (and our guests) :) I can't say enough good things about these two and we are forever grateful for their help and support. Thank you for making our special day the most profoundly meaningful experience of our lives.

Experiencia fantástica: Hiring Pure Lavish Events to plan our wedding was by far the best decision we made during the planning process. We had no idea where to even begin, what to expect, or what to think about and when! We would have been absolutely lost without them. They provided the most expert level planning and coordinating services, kept track of ALL the moving parts, were always reliable, and kept us on track while removing a huge amount of stress and anxiety that came with planning a wedding. Not to mention, they became dear friends who we are still in contact with. They should also be considered licensed therapists for all the times they were there to talk me off the ledge when I was stressing out (haha)! Lauren helped me design a beautiful ceremony and reception that came to life better than I could have ever imagined, and Carrie was the perfect planner professional. They are amazing and kind human beings on top of it all! Love you Pure Lavish Events!
