When my fiancé and I first started planning our wedding, and my mom suggested finding a coordinator to help us, we were both a bit skeptical that it was a justifiable expense. I was won over after first meeting Charlene, because her professionalism, expertise and enthusiasm were immediately apparent. But my fiancé didn't meet Charlene at the beginning. He was won over on our wedding day, when instead of worrying about details, we were able to truly enjoy ourselves, because Charlene (and her assistant Hollie) took care of EVERYTHING. As he said to me a few days after our wedding, of all of the people we hired for the wedding, Charlene was the most valuable…
… I'd like to think that our wedding was fun for our guests because I planned a good party, but I know that the wedding was a blast for me and my fiancé because of Charlene. If you want to have a great time at your wedding (and who doesn't?), hire Charlene!

I couldn't have done it without Charlene and her team. Charlene instantly set me at ease when I first met her last fall, showing me her suite of services. She was confident, organized, and assertive. I knew I wanted to work with her immediately!
…Early on, Charlene always responded to my emails in a matter of hours. She provided me with lots of email advice & guidance. In our 2-month meeting, she again helped calm me and provided me with a list of important to-do's. When my work schedule became crazy, she helped guide me.
Wedding week, she was a dream! She confirmed all my vendors, ran our rehearsal, and provided all of us with pocket-sized itineraries! How awesome is that? On the day of my wedding, people just kept showing up and doing things. I didn't have to think at all. I just enjoyed my wedding day, which really went "without a hitch".

We hired Charlene Liang from Sweetchic Events, Inc. to help us plan our 2011 summer wedding. We only had six months to plan our wedding and hiring Charlene was the best decision we made! She was extremely helpful, organized and had great ideas! She went above and beyond our expectations to make our wedding day extra special and have everything run smoothly.
… She really had an interest in the "vision" we had for our wedding and I can not say enough how much we enjoyed working with her and how our wedding day ended up being beyond our expectations due to all of Charlene's help, hard work and expertise.

Charlene was an angel throughout my entire wedding planning process. Both my husband and I think she is worth every penny. My situation was unique in the fact that I was living in Asia up until 2 months before my wedding day. Crazy right?! Charlene found a beautiful venue for us that met our long list of requirements. She then helped me line up fantastic vendors all within 2 months. The final test of a true planner is when she made my wedding day completely seamless and beautiful in spite of the rain.
I vowed to be a happy, stress-free bride and Charlene definitely made it happen. She is organized, meticulous and most importantly listened to what we wanted. I really believe that every bride deserves to enjoy their wedding day without stressing over the details. Say "Yes" to Charlene and Sweetchic Events!

The best decision my husband and I made during our wedding planning process was to bring Charlene on board as our wedding planner. We began this process without a vision or any creative thoughts and ended up with a beautiful wedding that reflected our style and which was truly the best day of our lives. Charlene offered a partial wedding planning package which kept us on track throughout our year of planning with vendor suggestions, checklists, ideas for every detail of the wedding, and 24hour support. I love flowers but was really clueless as to how to put them together for a wedding and Charlene patiently guided me through the process and attended the florist meetings with me. The day of our wedding was stress-free due to her and her assistant Hollie's professionalism, attentiveness, and overall wonderful attitude. Charlene inspires confidence and trust and her work reflects how much she enjoys what she is doing.

The wedding has come and gone and, in looking back, we can say with confidence that Charlene was one of the best investments we made. I literally went into autopilot the morning of my wedding. I didn't think about anything - I went where people told me to, stood where they told me to, and otherwise danced my heart out. This ease was made possible through the awesome efforts of Charlene and Hollie. I'm sure a number of things went wrong but I didn't have to deal with any of them… We even had a medical emergency at the reception and they handled it so I was reassured and everyone was feeling okay. Enthusiastic raves for sweetchic.
