Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

A Los Angeles wedding usually means a dozen vendors, a venue booked a year out, and a couple with full-time jobs trying to hold it all together. The wedding planners on this page have logged 425 Google reviews between them, and every one of them holds a rating of 4.9 or higher, so the real decision is not who does good work, it is who plans the kind of day you are actually having.

Short answer: Nexa Events LLC leads with a perfect 5.0 across 99 Google reviews, the most of any Los Angeles wedding planner on this page, followed closely by 3 Little Birds Event Planning (4.9, 95 reviews) and Jillian Nicole Events (5.0, 84 reviews). Packages range from day-of coordination through full-service planning, so ask each planner what their scope actually covers.

Our take: Nearly a perfect record at 4.9 and a name other wedding vendors, not just couples, vouch for. A strong pick if day-of coordination or month-of service is what you need rather than planning from scratch.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Los Angeles wedding planners. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 built on dozens of reviews carries more weight than one built on a handful. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a wedding planner cost in Los Angeles? (2026)

Wedding planning pricing in Los Angeles varies widely by scope, from a single day-of coordinator to full-service planning and design. None of the planners on this page publish a flat rate on their site, so ask each for a written quote based on your guest count, venue and how much planning support you need.

Serving all of Los Angeles

The planners above work across Los Angeles and the surrounding areas, including Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Burbank, Santa Clarita and Orange County. Searching for a wedding planner near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and website so you can start the conversation fast.

What to ask before you hire a wedding planner

  • Is this full-service planning, partial planning, or day-of coordination only?
  • How many weddings will you be working the same weekend as mine?
  • Do you have an established list of preferred vendors, and are you open to outside ones?
  • What happens if something goes wrong on the wedding day itself?
  • Is the fee flat or a percentage of the total wedding budget?
  • Will you or an assistant be on-site the day of the wedding?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these wedding planners?

We started from wedding planners in Los Angeles with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

How far in advance should I book a wedding planner in Los Angeles?

Full-service planners are often booked a year or more ahead for popular wedding dates, especially spring and fall weekends. Day-of coordinators can sometimes be booked closer to the date, but the earlier you lock one in, the more options you have.

What is the difference between a wedding planner and a venue coordinator?

A venue coordinator works for the venue and manages what happens on-site there. A wedding planner works for you, across every vendor and every part of the day, including the parts that never touch the venue.

The bottom line

Nexa Events is the safe default on sheer review volume and a spotless rating, especially if you want in-house MC and DJ services bundled in. If you want a planner known for calm, hands-on day-of execution, 3 Little Birds and Tricia Dahlgren both earn that praise directly from reviewers. Get a written scope of work before you sign with anyone.
