I'm not great at reviewing but sometimes we can get such great help we are obligated. Mise en Scene is an outstanding event planner! Coordinating the travel schedules of so many people plus getting to know her clients as well as she does just makes Julie amazing. Not to be a commercial or anything but if you have an event make sure you call her first. More...

So amazing! She took what was going to be a boring and drab party and made it GREAT! We love you all and can't wait to do it again! Seriously so good!

I have hired Julie Brown, owner of Mise En Scene for multiple events a for the past 5 years. She has pulled off many successful birthday parties, a graduation celebration including coordination of 30+ people travel's schedules for over 5 states, and business/networking events. She has an eye for detail and always makes sure her clients are completely satisfied. Her prices are also perfect, I have always felt like I got more bang for my buck! Even after the event she follows up to make sure all contracts from multiple venders were completely satisfactory. She has always exceeded my expectations! I would never hire or think of hiring another event planning company again! More...

I recently hired Julie Brown of Mise En Scene to plan my roommate's birthday party. I had never used the services of an event coordinator before, but I was referred to her by a close friend who's wedding Julie planned. I am both a young professional and a student, so I did not have an overwhelming budget. However, I explained to Julie that I wanted to stretch my budget as much as possible and throw an amazing party, so she did just that!Julie took care of everything; I didn't have to lift a finger. She was not overbearing or annoying, either. I told her what I was going for and she completely made it happen without having to call me 50 times per day!The food was spectacular, perhaps the best party food I've ever had. All of my party guests went out of their way to compliment the delicious food, especially the appetizers! They were so well-presented too! They looked like edible art!Julie made sure the music and the decorating were perfect, too. By the end of the night, everybody was dancing.As for the bar, well, Julie knew exactly what to serve so that all of my party guests were happy. I'm not much of a drinker, so I had no idea what to buy. She even hired a funny, friendly bartender to keep my guests entertained and their glasses full.If you are thinking of planning a party, definitely call Julie Brown first! I will work with her for every party I throw from now on. Thank you for making my party spectacular! More...

Julie, like any experienced event planner, is excellent at what she does when allowed to practice her expertise freely. Â Completely forthcoming about her approach, she tries to tailor each event to her client's desires and budget, but she does not work well as a pawn. Â Know in advance: If you want to work with her, you must have a clear idea of what you want, but you mustn't try to micro-manage her. Â Simply put, the best way to work with her is to tell her what you want, let her do her thing, and keep in touch along the way. Â Following this model, she has helped her clients give wonderful parties.I write this review as one who has assisted her on several events. Â As for Rachel S.'s review -- well, the woman is an anomaly among Julie's clients. Â And I know whence I speak. Â To say she was trying to deal with would be putting it lightly. Â She was already anxious and behind schedule when she hired Julie. Â As far as her invitations were concerned, she sent the assignment without a clear definition of what she wanted but was ready with complaints when it didn't come out right. Â She also assigned Julie to mail the invitations for her but didn't bother to supply a return address. Â When it came to planning the actual event, if Julie disagreed with her on even smaller points, such as floral arrangements -- well, she didn't take disagreement too well.This review may sound like back-biting, but I assure all of you other readers that this is not what I intend. Â I simply mean to caution you that Rachel S., I think, represents the exception. Â Those who bring Julie ideas of what they want -- with enough time to get them -- and the confidence to let her do what she does well will not be disappointed. More...

I found myself confused and overwhelmed half way through the planning process. She came on board, organized me and my event and coordinated everything to a perfect outcome.

My husband and I decided to throw an evening reception for friends and co-workers, after our wedding and reception. The Venezia Italian Grill was an amazing venue.
It is right on the water in Redondo Beach, and we used the space at the back of the restaurant which overlooks the water. It is secluded enough that it feels like you have your own private room.
The food was delicious, and the drinks were good. The catering manager, Julie, was very friendly, helpful and responsive to our needs. She made sure everything was going well during our event.
Our only complaint was that they had a very strange digeree doo (sp?) type band playing during the night of our reception. (On a Saturday night nonetheless!!) Had we known that that is the kind of music they had lined up that evening, my husband and I would gladly have paid to bring our own dj.
Other than that, we thought the Venezia was fantastic!
