Moments By Wayne Gurnick

There are no words to describe how wonderful it was to work with Wayne and his incredible team. We got married a few weeks ago… second wedding for both of us. From the beginning Wayne understood what kind of wedding we wanted to have… classy, intimate and elegant. I work full time and so does my husband, so we needed to trust Wayne to take care of a lot of the details. He made it all so easy. The wedding day was the happiest day of our lives… it ran smoothly, I never worried about a thing because Wayne took care of everything. He has the best taste, so I knew when he recommended something, that I should go with his suggestions. He has the perfect demeanor for this kind of job… always patient and kind with us, in charge of all the vendors and a wonderful sense of humor. We laughed a lot throughout the process. It was a real pleasure and an honor to have Wayne work side by side with us to make our day so special.

Dreams can come true!
To write into words so people can understand what Wayne and his team created on our wedding day is really not possible! They ALL literally made our dreams come true! From the moment we met with Wayne we was FUN, energetic, lovely, kind and most importantly he would LISTEN to what EVERYONE wanted! ALL of his vendors performed immensely, and his florist was just superb! We spend months with Wayne discussing the details that we wanted to have, and he was able to accomplish them all! He traveled with us to Las Vegas Market and helped find unique pieces that really brought the wedding together so magically! He handmade a lot of the details without even asking him too! He helped with the invitations and was willing to stay up till 4am to make sure we were all happy with the end results! He’s care and professionalism was just the best anyone could have ever asked for! I can guarantee that him and his team are worth it ALL! If you are going to do this right then hire and I promise you will be so thankful that you did! Every single detail that we thought of or he thought of was delivered over and beyond!
OUr wedding was help at The Bel-​Air Bay Club with 270 people and only 6 hours to set up everything! Wayne and his team were able to pull it all without any stress or mistakes! He literally did more than expected and was calm and fun all day long! We had brought a lot of our own décor that we wanted him to incorporate on the day and HE DID SO WELL! we barley had to tell him what we wanted because he just understood! All of his stay and vendors were very professional and ON TIME! He was able to manage the timing of the ceremony to the reception to the T! And was able to manage all the photographers and videographers perfectly!
If you would like to ask me any questions please do call me and ill will be more than happy to talk to you on the phone! 310.753.0388
ALL together it was an absolute dream and we have all been on a high since the wedding last week! We don’t know how more to thank him and for putting up with all the hard work!
OH and most importantly he is SUPER organized and had everything filed and budget!
WE LOVE WAYNE and his TEAM!!!

I chose Moments by Wayne for my Casa Del Mar wedding on the recommendation of the venue. When I first met Wayne, I had no idea what an amazing and professional wedding coordinator he would be and what a wonderful staff supports him. Not only is Wayne such an energetic personality, he is also beyond a professional in this business. He took time to understand my vision for the wedding day and my budget and was able to direct me to high quality, reliable, and professional vendors. He is always available for questions via email, text, and cell phone and gets back to you promptly (even when he’s away on vacation with his family for the holidays)!
I was so relaxed on my wedding day and able to enjoy every moment because Wayne had meticulously planned the day with me and he knew how I wanted the day to feel, look, and unfold. My father can’t stop talking about how stress free the day was because Wayne and his assistants Sonya and Jen were all there taking care of everything! Whenever my dad thought there was a problem arising Wayne would be there immediately to handle it!
I can’t say enough accolades about Moments by Wayne and all they did to make my wedding day a dream come true. Thank you Wayne, Jen, and Sonya from the bottom of my heart!

From the very beginning Wayne was incredible. Every step of the way he was supportive and provided me with just enough information so that I felt prepared, but not enough at one time to overwhelm me. The vendors that he introduced me to were always spot on! Wayne learns who YOU are and what YOU are looking for and picks out the perfect people to work on your big day.
Speaking of the big day, I got married at Shutters on the Beach this month and it would not have been as amazing as it was without Wayne and his team. Unfortunately, it rained so we had to move the ceremony inside. I kid you not, you would have never known it was supposed to be outside. Wayne knew I was nervous as pulled me into the room towards the end of set up to see it and my nerves vanished because the room looked gorgeous! He can always tell exactly what you need. In fact, my whole family was raving about how great he was! Even at brunch the next morning they were still talking about what a great job he did and how vital he was to the smoothness of the event.
THANK YOU SO MUCH MOMENTS BY WAYNE for giving me the wedding of the century!

I just got married on August 16, 2014 at Casa Del Mar, and we could not have pulled off such an amazing wedding without Wayne and his team. When we first got engaged, we knew we wanted a beach wedding. As we began searching for wedding planners, It became clear that we needed someone very experienced with all the logistics required for an outdoor, sand-​filled event. After seeing this video online (
), I knew I had to call Wayne.
Wayne and his team did an incredible job with our beach-​themed wedding. Our centerpieces were mini beaches, we had an incredible candy bar surrounded by sand and shells, the beach ceremony in-​the-​round was incredibly beautiful and private, and every detail was executed flawlessly. There were absolutely no issues with the entire day.
I’m still in awe of the day Wayne helped us create. We have received nothing but positive feedback from all our guests about how amazing and beautiful the wedding was, and how every detail was thoughtfully put together.
THANK YOU, Moments By Wayne, for helping us have the wedding of our dreams!

I am a vendor and have worked numerous events with Wayne. He is amazing! He is so warm, friendly, organized and creative. I love working with Wayne and his team — they are on top of everything and after working with different coordinators, Moments by Wayne always sticks out in my mind as to how this kind of business needs to be run.

I just got married a couple of weeks ago, and Wayne and his team (Karter, Devon) helped me to pull off the wedding I had been dreaming of and had been planning for so long. From the moment we met Wayne, I felt so comfortable with him and his staff. They were professional, very knowledgeable, sweet, and SO helpful! We hired them for the «Day Of» coordination, but they were so much more than that. They helped me to find vendors by providing us with a couple of suggestions when we got stuck, helped try to track down vendors that went MIA, and met with us a couple of times to plan everything down to the tea. As the wedding got closer (and of course the day of), I had a lot of contact with his assistant Devon. She is SO sweet, and really went out of her way to help in any way she could. And then of course, the day of, Wayne and his team were the most important people who could have been there. They helped with every little last detail and helped me to feel less stressed and overwhelmed in any way they could. Wayne was so sweet, and I will never forget the pep talk he gave me as I was getting ready to walk down the aisle. I cannot thank them enough for all of their hard work, dedication, and assistance with everything. I cannot recommend them enough!

I could go on and on about how much I LOVE Wayne Gurnick as a person and a planner. He was recommended to me by my venue and my photographer so I decided to call and schedule a meeting with him. I liked Wayne instantly because I could tell he was down-​to-​earth and an overall good person. Our first meeting with Wayne lasted for two hours and he went out of his way to answer our questions… should we do this? should we do that? what do you think about this? I realized quickly that he KNOWS weddings. Wayne has been event planning for over 20 years and before that was a florist so I went to him for everything. I want to mention that I needed Wayne for day-​of coordination but he treated me like I was paying him to plan my entire wedding. Most day-​of coordinators won’t talk to you until 3 weeks before your wedding and Wayne just doesn’t work that way. He knows how to treat his clients and he knows everything you need to know about planning a wedding and offers great advice. We just got married June 21^st and our wedding was absolutely flawless and I must say I had no stress and worry before our wedding because I had so much confidence in Wayne and his team. Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and we can’t thank Moments by Wayne enough for everything they did leading up to and on our wedding day.

Hands down, the best wedding and event planner in Southern California. Their team of professionals has planned some of the most creative events I have seen in my 30 years in this business. I wish I could post some of the photos from a Bat Mitzvah they did last year-​centerpieces dripping with candy, and an entire tent outside of the ballroom filled with activities for the kids. From cocktail hour to late night dancing, it was a feast for every sense! Karla Ross Productions has had the honor of providing entertainers and musicians for this very discerning company.

We were so lucky to have Wayne help us with our wedding. I feel like just about everyone came up to me at some point to say how great Wayne was and that they had never seen a wedding go by without any problems. I also was told they had never seen such a calm bride, and that I know had to be because of Wayne. If anything went wrong, I surely had no clue Wayne and his assistant were wonderful and I wish I could get married again (to my husband!) to be able to work with them again!
Even before the wedding, Wayne was just so great and so available for anything we needed. I still remember sitting on my couch calling all of my wedding venue’s wedding planners and when I spoke with Wayne, I told my fiancé that I knew Wayne was the one! Thank you so much for always answering all of our questions and providing such great vendor referrals. Wayne was there WHENEVER we needed him and that was a great feeling.

I had the pleasure of working with Wayne Gurnick at Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica for Michael and Elia’s Wedding on August 19^th. Wayne and his team are AMAZING!!! As a Los Angeles Wedding DJ for more than a decade, it was truly an honor to work with such a passionate, outgoing, friendly, and professional Wedding Planner. I highly recommend using Wayne’s planning services for your next event!
