There are not enough words to use to express what magic Natalie Sofer brings to event planning. Her attention to detail is out of this world. She not only matched all of our expectations, but elevates events beyond our imagination. She has the best vendors that match her style and charming personality. Her professionalism is spot on; but, what affected us more is how she really cares for her clients well beyond the event. Her events are an absolute pleasure- from start to finish. -

Natalie is a fantastic wedding planner. She offers terrific advice, takes ownership, asks questions, has an eye for detail, and defers to you on everything. She is an excellent person to collaborate with and is an absolute pro at making sure everything runs smoothly.
Thank you so much, Natalie! -

Weddingwire allowed a 5 star rating. But Natalie truly deserves 5+ because that's the service she provides. When I retained Natalie to coordinate my daughter's wedding, I explained that she might not want me for a client - that I required A+ communications, additions to the regular contracted service, and that I hated "surprises". Natalie's response was, "no problem!" And she was as good as her word. In addition to planning a wedding that was flawless and beautiful beyond anything my husband and I could have imagined, Natalie was such a pleasure to work with. Her vendors are beyond compare. Her planning was down to the minute. I can honestly say, that when we contracted with Natalie, we got a fantastic event planner, but more than that, we had a total partner. Finally, we ended up with a true friend! If you aim for true excellence and want a superbly curated deluxe event, Natalie will deliver 100%. For any complex event, isn't knowing this pure relief? -

Wedding planning is exciting, but also incredibly difficult, especially since most people have no contacts in the wedding industry and there are so many options. Natalie is the best choice you could make to guide you through the process and make sure your wedding day is the day of your dreams. We brought Natalie on board after we’d already started planning our wedding, so it would be expected to have a transition period for her to catch up, but that wasn’t necessary. She was on top of things from the day we hired her, as if she’d been part of the team since day one. She suggested things to us, big and small, that we’d never even thought of that made a huge difference for the ceremony and reception, and her contacts and knowledge of the industry ensured that everything we chose was right for our wedding. We did a lot of things that people might consider unconventional or against “tradition,” but Natalie never pushed back and was even excited about some of the different things we wanted to try. She was also both respectful of our budget and very upfront about where we should spend our money to maximize the look and feel of the wedding. If Natalie says you should get the candles, get the candles! On the day of our wedding, Natalie supervised everything from vendor deliveries to getting everything broken down after the reception and even handled some small issues during the reception that we didn’t even know about until days afterward. She also provided an assistant for my partner to make sure she didn’t need anything while she was getting ready throughout the day. Her team was always there when we needed them and had a fix for every problem, including an unexpected guest who had a table setting ready at the reception within minutes. Natalie is also just a very fun person - it was genuinely a pleasure talking to her and getting to know her on a personal level. It’s important to have someone you can trust planning your wedding, and we were so happy that we put our trust in Natalie. If you’re looking to pull off the wedding of your dreams, not just the one all the magazines say you should be doing, Natalie is the planner for you. -

My partner and I had the closest thing you can get to a perfect wedding thanks to Natalie! We transitioned wedding planners with only six months remaining, which shows you that she is a miracle worker as she managed to execute the process as if she had been with us from the very beginning (a total of 18 months). First and foremost, Natalie is a wonderful PERSON to work with; she is kind and caring, intelligent and funny, and she has a deep respect for inclusion. You are not just a job to her; Natalie will get to know you outside of just ‘What is on your mood board?’ She will take the time to understand you because she is a very genuine individual, which is also useful for her as a professional when making recommendations to you. Natalie has some of the best vendor connections in the Los Angeles area wedding industry and can work within your budget to create a designer aesthetic worthy of posting alongside the Instagram and Pinterest pages that you likely used as inspiration for your wedding. We were delighted that the vendors we worked with became like another little family for us since we worked together so closely under Natalie’s stewardship and it made the wedding day feel even that much more meaningful; it felt like each of our vendors was invested in us and giving it their absolute best, not just with their physical energy but with their emotional energy. Natalie leads by example, taking charge of your day and executing your vision seamlessly and with confidence. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone planning a wedding, celebration or special event. I was so happy with my wedding, but I am also ecstatic with the lifelong friend that I have made with Natalie - she is just fabulous!

No, seriously. This is the wedding planner who you want. She knows the industry inside and out. She knows which vendors to use to fit your budget. She is kind, funny, and handles stress with incredible grace. She also can manage the many personalities that might be present in planning your wedding. She helped me stay within my budget, helped my dreams come to life, and made sure the day ran so smoothly. I look back now and cannot imagine trying to pull off my wedding day without there. Thank you Natalie for all the of patience, wisdom, and kindness. You are simply the best! -

The most incredible person - Natalie!!
Natalie was my wedding planner for my destination wedding in Malibu, California. I am from New York, living in Australia currently and got married as a half way point between my family /friends in New York and my partners family /friends in Sydney. We relied on Natalie for just about everything in the lead up to and on the wedding day. She was always so quick to respond, the most easy to talk to and made the entire planning & day of the most seamless process. She offered the greatest insights to venues & vendors. We went with all of her recommendations and I couldn’t be more happy about each and every one of them. We told her we wanted to get married in Italy/ on a vineyard and she found us the exact venue for what we had dreamed of right here in Los Angeles. She worked with our budget and helped us connect with the most special people to help our dream day come true. She is the only planner you will ever need and I am so thankful I found her. I could not thank her/ recommend her enough and I wish we could do our wedding day & (surprisingly the planning) 1 million times over again. Thank you Natalie!!!! -

I have now worked with Natalie on three different events. What I love about her is that every wedding or event she plans is so luxurious and elegant, yet at the same time, every one is unique and customized to the client's vision. She's also always the calm, patient voice in the room when unexpected curve balls come. When Natalie is running the show, I know that all those little details are going to be taken care of, and I can just enjoy the evening! -

My husband and I were married in November 2022, and thanks to Natalie- we had the wedding of our dreams!
Planning a wedding while having a full time job is no easy feat, but Natalie made the planning process as easy & smooth as possible. She was with us every step of the way- providing her expertise/ advice, talented vendor recommendations, and made sure we were on track with our planning. She was also VERY responsive- and made herself available anytime we needed to discuss details about the wedding.
On top of all of that- she is unbelievably kind, warm, and is a joy to work with.
Thank you Natalie for making my vision come to life-I could not have asked for a more special or beautiful wedding! -

Your search for a wedding planner is OVER. Natalie Sofer is THE most incredible wedding planner ever. Before I hired Natalie, I was overwhelmed with wedding planners. I interviewed several and none of them gave me the time of day until I gave them a deposit. I even waited 2 weeks for a planner to get back to me and still never got a response. I was beyond stressed and overwhelmed. I then used #planning #weddingplanner on Instagram and I saw the GORGEOUS Natalie Sofer posing in one of her wedding events. I CAN'T deny, I thought she was posing on a Hollywood film set. Her entire wedding was FILLED with flowers, and details you didn't even know existed. TOP TO BOTTOM was the venue filled with what I imagined my wedding to be one day. I sent her a DM and within MINUTES she called me. Loving, personable, classy, confident...all the attributes you would want in a person and a planner. Shall I mention, she has been published numerous times in INSIDE WEDDING MAGAZINE!?! Not to mention Natalie is LA's BEST WEDDING PLANNER OF THE YEAR-2022? Natalie orchestrated the WEDDING of my dreams! I could not have imagined my wedding to be this memorable and spectacular without her guidance and help. She has an amazing vendor team you can select for your wedding and will adjust to any budget you desire. No job is too big or small for my dear friend and now forever Auntie, Natalie Sofer. Please do yourself a favor, save your stress and acne and hire Natalie Sofer. She will be by your side until the day of your wedding and if you're lucky..maybe even for life. Cheers! -

Alana G. Sent on 12/21/2022Natalie made our vision come to life!
We started planning our wedding 18 months out because of the pandemic, and throughout that entire time frame, Natalie Sofer continued to make us feel special and taken care of. With her guidance, we hired all our vendors in 2021 for a September 2022 wedding at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. She foresaw how prices would change and helped us lock in much better rates than we would have gotten had we waited. Then, even when there was nothing left to decide until a later date, she continued to check in to go over any new ideas and ensure we were all on the same page with the vision for the event. The vendors that she suggested were incredible. She came to every appointment with us, and her relationships with them made us feel comfortable trusting them on such a big occasion. In the end, it was evident they delivered more for us because of their love for her. That is what happens when you use someone who has been in the business for so long. Everyone who worked on the wedding went above and beyond for us, Natalie included. She took care of all the crazy logistics of a sizeable black-tie wedding so that our wedding weekend seemed to go off without a hitch. We could focus on getting great pictures and having the time of our lives, knowing that she had it taken care of from top to bottom. She is willing to take whatever vision you have and run with it, taking as much or as little control as you want her to have, all while making you feel special throughout what is sometimes a stressful process. If you want a classy affair that is truly catered to you and your dreams, Natalie is a planner extraordinaire! -

Natalie is the fairy godmother you want and NEED in your corner leading up to life’s big moments. If you can book her, BOOK HER.
Natalie guided us through the process of planning our wedding with so much kindness, care and super-human attention to detail. She assembled an absolute ALL-STAR team of vendors, all of whom had so much love and respect for her as well (which was no surprise). At every turn, she handled business with professionalism, dedication and grace and pulled together an absolutely unbelievable wedding day. If we could give her 10 stars we would. -

I recently enjoyed working with Natalie Sofer Events for one of her events. I cannot express how impressed I am with the professionalism and expertise Natalie brought to the table.
Natalie's communication skills are superb. She kept all stakeholders in the loop, ensuring everyone was on the same page throughout the planning process, and made for a seamless and stress-free experience for me and the other vendors and clients.
What stood out the most was Natalie's genuine passion for her work. She loves what she does, and this enthusiasm translated into an event that exceeded all expectations.
Working with Natalie Sofer Events was a pleasure, and I highly recommend her services to anyone needing a top-notch wedding planner. Natalie's professionalism, attention to detail, and passion for work make her a standout in the industry.
I look forward to collaborating with her on future events. -

We started working with Natalie a little bit before 2019. We are both industry professionals and spend a lot of time working, so neither of us had the time, resources, or know-how to make our long awaited wedding to happen. That’s why we reached out to Natalie. Right off the bat, she gave us directions and options based on our budget. She pointed us to venues that fit our aesthetic and arranged weekend visits to each location. With her comprehensive schedule and connections, we were able to quickly find our dream venue. We signed the venue and were ready to tackle the rest of the long list of to dos for the wedding.
Then a month later, the pandemic happened and everything shut down. Everyone was left in the dark in an unprecedented way. By this point, we’d signed with multiple vendors and it was looking very likely we had to postpone the event. Natalie handled all of the postponing conversations with each of our vendors. Figured out contract updates and necessary procedures to move our wedding to a new date. Throughout our wedding planning, we inevitably encountered many obstacles, including our venue itself being jeopardized in closing their service. During this period, Natalie kept us in touch with the venue and gave us periodic updates, as well as backup options.
Natalie’s connection with the vendors were absolutely on the point. We didn’t have the time to look for vendors ourselves so we deferred to Natalie’s recommendations after chatting with her about what we wanted in our wedding aesthetically. Based on our proposal and budget, Natalie came up with a list of vendors whom we loved working with. The photographers, videographer, DJ, musicians, decorator, cake maker, venue - everyone went above and beyond in their own ways, and best of all they worked well with each other thanks to Natalie’s coordinating every step of the way.
After over a year of waiting for the right moment, two postponements due to the safety concerns, as well as reducing our guest list to minimize contact, we finally decided to make our day happen. Natalie made sure we considered everything leading up to the big day. The day of the wedding, Natalie went into full battle mode. We chose not to do rehearsal to minimize gathering, but Natalie made sure everyone knew what to do. She was on call at any moment, and was always present and dealing with the next agenda two steps ahead. The event went beautifully and we were able to make a memory we can call one of the best days in our lives. There’s no doubt we could have done this without Natalie’s directions. We’re lucky to have found her, and she will surely bring happiness and everlasting memories to all of the couples she works with.

Natalie is an absolute legend. We hired her nearly two years ago to plan our wedding, and she's been with us through three date changes and countless COVID issues. We finally celebrated on December 12th and the day was better than my husband or I could have imagined. Natalie recommended all of our vendors, all exceptional. She took our vague, simple ideas and worked literal magic. The event itself went off without a hitch, and it never would have happened without Natalie's advice and hard work. I will be recommending her to everyone I know planning an event. -

Natalie is always a true pleasure to work with. In addition to her attention-to-detail and her excellent taste, she truly cares about her clients, the vendor team and everyone involved in her events. She has a great handle on how a party should run and gets the best out of everyone she includes in her events. We are truly impressed with how Natalie has been able to navigate events during this challenging time, as well. We can’t wait to collaborate with her again and again!! -

Dani B. Sent on 12/20/2021A class act, and amazing when the unexpected happens
Words cannot express our gratitude to Natalie. 24 hours before I was due to start getting ready for our wedding, we had to take our 2-year-old to the emergency room with trouble breathing. What followed was a full day of being shuttled between three different hospitals, and with our son ending up in PICU for the night. Throughout the whole day we had no idea what this all meant for our wedding. Clearly, our son was our #1 priority. And, with two years of planning and a lot of money on the line, the decision was a complicated one. Natalie was with us throughout the ordeal, and empathetic, compassionate and most of all professional throughout the back-and-forth. Fortunately our son took a turn for the better overnight and was out of PICU by morning. We were able to have someone else come be with him at the hospital for a few hours so I could leave for a few hours for the wedding and then come back, knowing he was doing well and well taken care of. Through 48 hours of uncertainty, last minute pivots and adjustments, Natalie handled it with grace and aplomb. So grateful to have had her in our corner! -

I was looking for a very specific type of planner, after watching my 2 sisters go through what they went through with theirs, I know what I wanted and Natalie was exactly that. She never pressured me, always supported me and gave me good ideas. She was calming and professional. All the vendors loved working with her. Can't recommend her enough!!! -
