Thoughtfully Planned Weddings & Events

rooted in clarity, trust, and strong execution

LUXURY PLANNING

Ilana Rubin Events is a full-service wedding and event planning studio based in Southern California, specializing in refined, well-executed celebrations for clients who care deeply about experience, aesthetics, and trust.

Founded in 2016, the business was built on a simple belief: great events don’t happen by accident, they happen when logistics are handled with precision and clients feel genuinely supported throughout the process.

Our work spans luxury weddings, destination events, and corporate gatherings, with a planning approach that is thoughtful, highly organized, and always tailored. We don’t chase trends or cookie-cutter formats. We focus on what works, what lasts, and what feels aligned for each client.

our team

Ilana Rubin

Founder & Lead Planner

Named one of the top planners in Califonria by The Knot. Ilana brings over a decade of experience in hospitality and event production, with a background that includes corporate events, trade shows, and catering sales management before launching her own firm.

Known for her calm presence, strong advocacy for clients, and sharp attention to detail, Ilana approaches every event with equal parts strategy and intuition. She is deeply involved in each project, from early planning through execution, ensuring nothing is overlooked and every decision is intentional.

Clients often describe working with Ilana as grounding, efficient, and refreshingly honest. She believes luxury should feel seamless, not performative and that trust is the foundation of every successful event.

Mia Jacobs

Event Coordinator

Mia plays a key role in the planning and execution of our events, bringing a sharp eye for detail and a deep understanding of event flow and logistics. With experience in timelines, production, client communication, vendor management, they are instrumental in ensuring every event runs smoothly and efficiently.

Clients appreciate Mia for her professionalism, responsiveness, and ability to anticipate needs before they arise, making her a trusted presence on event days and throughout the planning process.

We believe planning should feel collaborative, organized, and grounded, not overwhelming or transactional.

Ilana Rubin Events operates as a boutique studio, intentionally limiting the number of events we take on each year. This allows us to stay deeply involved, provide thoughtful guidance, and give every client the level of care their event deserves.

We advocate for our clients, communicate clearly, and make decisions with purpose. Our goal is not just to create beautiful events, but to make the process feel steady, thoughtful, and well-managed from start to finish.

Luxury, to us, is clarity, preparation, and trust.
