Lazo’s picks: wedding planners in Los Angeles
12 picks · read 2026-10-12We read the website of every Los Angeles wedding planner listed on Lazo (148 listings, 110 sites reachable) and set aside the ones that are not really in the wedding business: a destination-wedding travel company, an Orange County studio, a Santa Barbara planner, venues that also sell coordination, and a national photo-and-DJ chain. What is left is a shortlist of vendors who say clearly what they do, show their work, and tell you how they work. Verified Lazo vendors come first. Nobody paid to be here, and this is not a ranking: Lazo ranks only on reviews from couples who booked.

Wedding Planners in Los Angeles: questions couples ask
When is wedding season in Los Angeles?
Peak season in Los Angeles runs April to June and September to November. Mild weather makes most of the year workable; inland heat peaks in late summer and early fall, while the coast stays cooler and can be overcast in May and June.
How far ahead should we book a wedding planner in Los Angeles?
Plan on 12-18 months out for a peak-season Saturday. A wedding planner can only take one wedding a day, so popular dates go first.
How much does a wedding planner cost in Los Angeles?
Most couples spend $800-$4,500+. Lazo does not yet hold verified booking prices for Los Angeles, so treat this as a national range and ask each wedding planner for their packages.
What time is sunset for a September wedding in Los Angeles?
Around 6:59 PM on September 15, with golden hour from about 6:26 PM. For portraits in that light, a ceremony near 4:14 PM works.
How do we get a marriage license in California?
Apply with the county clerk-recorder. The fee is $35-$120 and there is no waiting period. The license is valid for 90 days, and you need 1 witness.
