Hello + Welcome! 1. I love things in 3’s – I am one of three children and yes, I purposely wanted it to be “MMM” with threee M’s. 2. The butterfly and purple in our logo are inspired by my late paternal grandmother whom I fondly referred to as “Wowa”. 3. I believe I was called to do this – help others in this specific way. So if you are reading this, I am thankful you are here because this is my calling and my passion and I can’t wait to learn more about YOU!

Who would know Team MMM better than someone who has been able to experience the magic for themselves! A former bride and client of MMM, Drea found herself as a new mom and looking for more flexible work. Drea assists with daily admin tasks, vendor relations and marketing – specifically via social media. As Team MMM continues to grow, this turned out to be the perfect timing for a predestined partnership.

Amber Smith | Admin + Wedding & Event Assistant

Megan and Amber met during a wedding in Los Angeles – Megan was planning, Amber was bartending – they chatted briefly and exchanged information. What came in the months following was the start of a strong foundation of friendship and ultimately became an opportunity to add a valuable player to the team. With no experience on the other side, Amber always shows up ready to work and has proven that she has what it takes to be an asset to every event. Her drive and desire to see Team MMM succeed has led to many memorable moments with many more to come.

Ashely Rumbaoa | Associate Planner + Wedding & Event Assistant

Ashely and Megan met while freelancing for another LA based wedding company in 2018. Megan quickly noticed Ashely’s ability to take charge and handle business under pressure. They lost touch and reconnected after the pandemic. Since then, Ashely has contributed to many magical moments and will soon be stepping into a bigger role as an Associate Planner – representing Team Magical Moments on busy days and double bookings.

Jessica Castillo | Associate Planner

Megan and Jessica became friends on Instagram as MMM was being established in the LA/OC area. They became quick friends and by the time they met in person, it was obvious they had each found a friend for life. Jessica’s kindness and amazing customer service skills are key when managing a wedding and she has been Megan’s right hand on many events.
