ALLISON & ALLAN
As a type-A and detail-oriented person myself, I can let you know that my partner and I had interviewed over 150 wedding planners for my big day. It may sound insane, but trust me, I have absolutely no regrets. Upon meeting Giulia and Sophia, I knew that I had finally found the wedding planners who could help me bring to life the most beautiful, Chinese traditional yet unconventional wedding I had been dreaming of.
What sets Giulia and Sophia apart from the multitude of planners we met was their unwavering vision, creativity, and extensive experience. They effortlessly translated our ideas into reality and offered valuable suggestions that perfectly aligned with our aesthetic wedding vision.

From start to finish Frankie & Louise held our hand and helped with every detail of our wedding. No matter how big or small the task, their confidence and professionalism took on every challenge with grace and patience. Although our vision morphed throughout the planning process, they were always attentive and would meet our ideas with excitement and a game plan for execution. They brought excellent vendors to the table within our price range and came up with creative ways to make things work that might have seemed out of the ordinary or unique to our vision. Both of them had great ideas and aesthetic suggestions that felt fresh and catered toward our personalities. They meticulously coordinated everything down to the minute the day of and made sure everyone stayed on schedule. When I walked into my reception I was blown away by the accuracy. We were pleasantly surprised at how detail oriented they were. No matter how many last minute things were thrown into the mix, they kept collected and calm and were able to attend to our every need. Their team of people blended well with the guests and ran everything smoothly and under the radar on the day of. We had a dream wedding, without any snags or hiccups and I know if it wasn’t for Frankie and Louise that would have never been possible. Their precise planning services allowed us the space and trust in them to fully relax and enjoy our special day. We truly took in every moment without being preoccupied with or worried about anything else, and for that we are eternally grateful. THANK YOU!!! What a magical day it was :)
PHEM & TYLER
My wife and I had locked in our location (the Beautiful Morada in Joshua Tree) but had no idea where to go in terms of planning our day with the vendors and the dream look we had in mind. We knew we didn't want a boho look which is what all vendors we had met with pitched to us with prior to the girls at Frankie & Louise Events. Sophia & Giulia from our first meeting set the tone and vibe with hitting all our ideas from the start, we left our initial meeting knowing we found our planners. We locked them in and from there they began bring our dream day to life and all within our set budget. We wanted to dress up the beautiful outdoor space and natural beauty the Morada had with chandeliers, orchids, and a long family style table for all of out 50 guest to sit at and enjoy the day. They guided us from the first planning meeting to the moment we were cutting our wedding cake. They were able to make a few surprises both my wife and I had set up for each other to life without a hitch. Not to mention they were also able to secure us our wedding photographers who are based out of state all within our budget without a compromise. If you are looking for your event planners for your big day we strongly suggest Frankie & Louise events. They made our dream wedding under the desert sky a reality
DAVID & DEERAY
Giulia and Sophia were truly incredible to work with. I had a lot of ideas and iterations of what I wanted to do and they really guided the way for me to have the exact wedding that we were looking for. On the day of the wedding they were so helpful with vendors and extra things that needed tending too, such as going to a ton of stores to pick up blankets because the temps were going to drop at our outside reception. Communication was flawless and felt like we are very much on the same page the whole time.
