Anela Events specializes in coordinating, wedding planning, and decorating for weddings and special events. We are wedding experts in California, Hawaii, and plan all over the world! The term "Anela" originated from the Hawaiian language meaning "Angel". In saying that, Angels appear to those in need in order to comfort and lead them in the right direction while carrying the quality of being a "life saver". Anela Events is derived from this exact concept in order to service those who are in need of any wedding assistance in creating and planning their special day. Our goal is to provide a heartfelt and stress free process in helping those to develop their seamless vision into a memorable event!

Where do I even begin? Angelica was one of the main reasons our wedding happened! Without her support and knowledge I would have been completely lost and overwhelmed! She took the load off me when it came to everything! I got to do all the fun stuff while she took care of the dirty work, she was easy to work with and if I could get married again, I’d run to her in a heart beat. She had all the answers and if she didn’t she found them for me. Not to mention she has an amazing team to support her, they all had hands in putting our wedding together and again I’m so so blessed we crossed paths! We built a great friendship throughout the time of planning our wedding. I would recommend her to anyone who’s planning there special day.

I'm so happy we found Angelica to help us plan our wedding. I originally wanted to work with her because she has wedding planning experience in both California and Hawaii - and at this point, we were still deciding between the two. But once we settled on our Hawaii location, things started to roll. She was very easy to stay in contact with and kept us updated throughout the whole process. I had a tendency to change my mind constantly but she was very patient with me and managed to give us everything we wanted. Planning a wedding is incredibly stressful and I couldn't have imagined doing it on my own. Angelica was an angel and we'll forever be appreciative of the special day she helped plan for us.

Angelica helped with my wedding planning process and was my day-of coordinator for my wedding this last May! It was so awesome knowing that my vision was shared by Angelica so when the day of my wedding came around, I was stress-free and enjoying every minute. She has a great eye for decor and is very thorough in the planning process! I highly recommend Anela Events as your next event coordinator!
