Awarded Best of Zola
My experience of working with Midnight Picnic was nothing short of miraculous. Mischa was a true joy to work with, and made my experience of wedding planning inspiring and meaningful. She is an amazing balance of heart and mind, an excellent listener and communicator, incredibly capable and resourceful, and truly loves what she does. She was beacon of calm and clarity amidst all the moving pieces, and because of her I was able to fully surrender and enjoy my wedding to the fullest. So many people have told me that our wedding was the most beautiful they've ever been to, and that is largely due to Mischa's brilliance, expertise, and enormous heart. You would be blessed to work with her for your wedding...I can't recommend her highly enough!

Dina's Deluxe Events is a wedding planner based in Los Gatos, California. We provide event planning and event coordination as well as decor and event hosting assistance. Professional Planner and Decorator Dina personally plans, designs, and coordinates your wedding according to your vision.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Dina to be our wedding planner and it was the single best decision we made for our wedding. We called a few different vendors and Dina immediately stood out because she was the only one who was willing to actually give us a true consultation to ensure we were on the same page with what we wanted. She also didn't require us to pay her any money up front. In fact, she didn't request any money from us until maybe a month or two in? And even then, it was a minimal deposit. Point is, her vibe is that of someone who understands the stress of wedding planning for the bride and groom so she makes you feel like she wants to earn your trust and do everything right before she asks for your business. Leading up to the wedding, friends and family would ask us if we were stressed or ask us how the wedding planning was going. Our answer would always be, "you know what... we don't have anything to do lol." And that was the truth. Dina made the entire process come together so seamlessly for us, during a pandemic no less, when so many vendors were backed up. When we saw the venue in it's final form for the first time, our jaws dropped. Even to this day we love recalling comments from guests on how beautiful the venue was. During the actual wedding, she stayed the WHOLE night for us and even brought an assistant. Leading up to the wedding we were not expecting that! She helped to orchestrate the whole night between guest seating and working with restaurant staff. Simply put, Dina's communication was on point. Her work ethic blew us away. The way she found and discussed vendors with us made us completely trust her with the process of pulling our vision together. Her fees were criminal to the point we had to tip her almost 500 more just so we didn't feel like we were robbing her of her time and effort. We've already jumped at the opportunity to recommend her to friends/family that are embarking on their wedding planning journeys. I don't write many reviews, but had to for Dina. She will always have a special place in our memories and lives because she played such a huge role on our special day.

Chels from Atlas Design is absolutely amazing. We found her after researching and meeting with many other wedding planners and knew right away she was a perfect fit! We were looking for partial planning services and the most important things for us in a planner were 1) personality fit and 2) a get ‘er done attitude. Chels has both of these and so much more! We couldn’t believe how much she did for us over 1.5 years of planning our wedding - from vendor sourcing to coordination, logistics, timelines, design boards, being a sounding board, day of execution to perfection - The list goes on and on and on. She is delightful. Please look no further if you are looking for someone who will make you feel at ease and like you’ve gained a trusted friend in the end. We loved working with her!

I want to take a moment to give an honest review of a wedding planner who has impressed me with their exceptional skills and professionalism. Working alongside Michelle & Raymundo of Oso Events has been an absolute pleasure. Their attention to detail and planning made every moment run flawlessly. From start to finish, their dedication to creating an unforgettable wedding for our couple was noticeable and well appreciated! One aspect that sets them apart is their exceptional communication skills. They are always prompt in responding my questions! Their ability to effectively communicate the vision and requirements ensured that everyone involved was on the same page and working towards a common goal. It is evident that Michelle & Raymundo genuinely care about their clients and their special dream day. They invest a great deal of time and effort in getting to know each couple, understanding their preferences, and translating their vision into reality.

During college I got the chance to do a semester abroad in San Diego, and met this really special, handsome, American guy... You see it coming? YES!

A little bit about The Perfect Pair Wedding... it is a San Diego based Wedding planning company, we plan & design weddings all over Southern California to bring to life our Perfect Pair's dreams.

Awarded Best of Zola
I hired Clemence to help with the coordination of my son and daughters-in-law wedding. I hired her for the day of and then quickly switched to full service after getting to know her. The wedding was a destination wedding and was very hard and stressful for us to plan and keep track of every detail. Clemence was so supportive and helpful every step of the way without being too opinionated or pushy. She had our back and saved us time and money. The day of the wedding she not only was attentive to the bride and groom, but she also took such good care of our family and guests. She is so professional, fun and has a big heart! I have 3 kids and will use her for all weddings!

HIGHLY recommend Love & Laughter Weddings! We booked the live music, day of coordinator and officiant package and our wedding was divine! Bryan played our favorite songs throughout the ceremony and cocktail hour and the performance was perfect! The ceremony was heartfelt and custom and funny, which was so important for us being that we're a laid-back couple and Evelyn nailed it! Amazing doesn’t even begin to describe our night. Wouldn’t have been able to plan my 3x postponed wedding without Evelyn! Amazing person, calmed my nerves more than once, super organized and now lifelong friend.

*Please inquire through our website directly for more info, messages on Zola are not monitored* Two Perfect Events was created out of a love for planning. This developed into a greater love of bringing others happiness and relief in their journey in putting together their unique and perfect events.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Two Perfect Events for our December wedding. We had Leo, Natalie and Leah help with our big day and they were great to work with. Leo and Leah really helped with all of the planning prior to the wedding and made sure we met deadlines. They were very responsive and took the hard part out of the planning. If planning a wedding or other event sounds overwhelming (which it is) then you should definitely look into hiring them to help you out! We found them through Yelp and decided to go with them after seeing all of their rave reviews and we sure did not regret it! We really appreciated how when we came up with last minute ideas for our wedding, like booking a Santa, they were quick to say “alright, we will find some options for you!” They sent us a great option that we ended up booking and loving. Truly, they did so much of the research for us so we didn’t have to do everything ourselves. Our wedding was so close to Christmas that we decided to go full blown Christmas wonderland theme. It was so magical and everything had such a warm Christmas vibe. Our wedding got pushed back a couple times due to COVID and family matters, but Two Perfect Events stuck with us and made sure we didn’t put our wedding on the backburner altogether and forget about it. They helped us locate a venue, book vendors, contact vendors, arrange schedules, planned a rehearsal, and most importantly, helped out with the day of the wedding. The day of the wedding help they provided was worth it on its own! It was great how Leo was able to think on the spot and when we noticed guests were leaving slightly early due to the time, he proposed doing a faux exit so guests could participate before leaving and that was awesome! We managed to capture the moment with guests but not keep them all past their bedtimes. Book Two Perfect Events for your wedding!

Events by Angela Monique

5.0

Westlake Village, CA
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $2,300
  • Serves Carmel, CA

Welcome to Events by Angela Monique! We are a premier wedding and event planning company dedicated to creating unforgettable experiences for our clients. From intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, we handle every detail with care and professionalism. Our team, led by Angela Monique, has a passion for bringing your vision to life.

Where do I even begin? Hiring Angela to help coordinate our wedding was THE BEST decision we made. Our wedding was on the smaller side -- we only invited 65 people -- and when we first started planning, we questioned if we even needed a coordinator, but oh my god we absolutely did and I'm so happy we had Angela's support. From our first call with her, we knew we wanted to hire her. She is so kind, sweet and attentive. She saw our vision and was immediately on board. We hired her for month of coordination which was the perfect amount of support. Leading up to the wedding, she was so helpful in coordinating all of our vendor communication, and I'm sure she did work behind the scenes that I'm not even aware of just to make sure everything was going to plan. She was so upbeat and organized at our wedding rehearsal. Our wedding party kept commenting on how awesome she was. We ran into a few vendor issues days before our wedding, including the hotel where our wedding room block was trying to charge us a hefty 1,000 fee just to take a few photos on their property and our reception venue doing last minute construction. Both situations could have been extremely stressful, but Angela handled them like a pro and jumped in to make sure everything was taken care of for us. We held our wedding at the Santa Barbara Courthouse and my biggest concern was always rain since it is an outdoor space. Luckily, it didn’t rain, but I never in a million years would have imagined that I should have been concerned about an entire high school prom showing up to take their prom photos at the exact same time as our wedding ceremony. Thankfully we had Angela and her team on site to make sure the prom was moved as far away from our space as possible! She is seriously a wonder — and shoutout to Brandon on her team who is also fantastic! Do yourself a favor and hire Angela! You won’t regret it. Thank you so much again, Angela! You’re the best and we sincerely appreciate you!

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Erin. I planned my wedding over a 2 year period and Erin was there every step of the way helping with vendor selection, timelines, site visits, and any question I could possibly have. She was very timely with her responses, extremely organized, and was always down to jump on a zoom call with me. My wedding would not have been what it was without Erin's help, I feel very lucky to have had her as a day of coordinator!

Teyanna and Essence of Flair was truly an answer to prayer. I had a vision of what I wanted for my wedding day and she executed it perfectly. From our first meeting, she listened attentively and made sure she understood the assignment. Teyanna never tried to push her own agenda, what I wanted was always top priority. She was patient and also provided insight that helped me not only in the decor of my venue but in other areas of my wedding. Teyana was absolutely amazing. My wedding ceremony and reception were perfectly decorated and they exceeded my expectations. When I walked into the ceremony and reception area I said this is what I wanted. Teyanna held my hand through the process. If there were negative things happening, I did not know because Teyana was so in control and positive. I got so many compliments on the decor. All I can say is Essence of Flair understood my vision and followed through. Teyanna went above and beyond. I would recommend her and Essence of Flair to anyone that is planning a wedding or any special event.

What can I say. I was always told weddings were stressful, expensive, and I’d regret not spending the money on something else. I believe without Kari, this might have been the case. My wedding was more beautiful than I could have imagined. Absolutely seamlessly executed!!! I don’t regret a cent of it because it exceeded every expectation!! I had two friends get married the same year I did. They saw how little stress I had, while they each opted to go at it alone and ran around like crazy. Both regretted not hiring a planner. BUT, I didn’t have just any planner though…I had Kari!!!

Faye Fern Creative

5.0

Los Angeles, CA
  • Offers 6 services
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Carmel, CA

Faye Fern Creative is a luxury Design + Planning house based in LA and NYC. We are experience curators who specialize in high touch, understated and effortlessly distinctive weddings. With more than 40 years of collective industry experience between us, we have earned a reputation for architecting extraordinary events built upon a foundation of bespoke service. We focus on quality over quantity, taking on only a select number of mutually aligned clients each year. This allows us to protect our creative integrity, and deliver the caliber of design and production our couples truly deserve.

To say that Faye Fern Creative exceeded all our wildest dreams is to put it lightly. Our wedding was a work of art thanks to Natalie Faye Fern, who is not only a creative mastermind but also an extraordinary person: intelligent, resourceful, kind, and a joy to be around. She works harder than anyone and goes above and beyond to make your vision come alive. Yet on our wedding weekend, she and her whole team made everything look totally effortless!! They were the picture of calm and brought the most warm and positive energy that our guests just fed off. Everything was so, so well coordinated and we felt we could just trust the Faye Fern team to do their job. They also gave us invaluable advice before the wedding which we followed and it helped to keep us very organized on our end. The decor took our breath away. We aren't design experts and just had a general idea of what we liked. Also owing to our busy schedules which left us little time to participate in the design process, we let Natalie run freely with the concepts she came up with and would tell any other couple to do the same! You won't regret it! I might be something of a designer's nightmare: a bride who doesn't always know what she wants and doesn't have time to plan anything but has high standards about whatever it is. I secretly feared that my wedding would never live up to what I hoped but when we stepped into our ceremony and reception, our jaws were on the floor the whole time. We could not believe this was our wedding because ohhhh my godd. It's like Natalie knew exactly what we wanted without us even knowing it ourselves. The fact that she designed and planned this for us while based in a different city the whole time makes it all the more impressive to me. Last of all, I want to add how grateful I am that Natalie always made sure that both my husband and I felt equally included in decisions. Many vendors treat the bride as if she is the only one whose opinion matters and while maybe this is traditional in the industry, I could tell that he felt left out sometimes. So I want to thank Natalie for always treating it like it was OUR wedding and not just mine because it meant a lot to my husband.

Working with Sandra and her team at Savvy Weddings was one of the best decisions we made while planning our dream wedding. Sandra was such a pleasure to work with from the very beginning, providing a clear timeline of the planning process and making us feel special every step of the way. One of our favorite days was meeting with Sandra and the staff at Encore to pick out our dinner place settings, linens, and chairs. While all of the choices and details can be overwhelming at times, Sandra was able to help guide us and make suggestions that fit our style and exactly what we were looking for. Not only was she amazing with helping us navigate the logistics of our big day, Sandra went above and beyond by creating a custom escort board that worked perfectly for our welcome gifts of our venue’s own olive oil. Anytime we are asked now for advice while planning a wedding, our go-to response is to find a planning team as great as Savvy!

She is a great planner that sets up her events on time and makes sure that everything is always running smoothly. The one big thing I love about working with Diana during a wedding day is that she doesn't micro manage the other wedding vendors that are working with her on a wedding day. This is a huge plus. She trust us vendors and lets us get our job done without telling us what to do. Diana also knows how to solve problems when they arise on your big day, which is one of the main reasons you hire a coordinator for your wedding day.

We found Cassandra on Zola and set up a meeting for partial planning services. It was a one and done conversation--we knew immediately that she was the right planner for us! Her clear communication, organization, and professionalism made her the obvious choice. We felt confident in relying on her expertise to bring our Fall-themed Tahoe wedding to life, and she did not disappoint. Cassandra is a true professional and expert at her craft -- For partial planning services, she provided a detailed month-by-month checklist complete with notes and recommendations to guide us in meeting our wedding deadlines. About six weeks before the wedding, she took over all aspects of the planning process. She is an experienced planner that has built out her own inventory of rentals (which was a big help so I didn't have to track those things down), and has a great knowledge base of reliable venues and vendors in the area to work with. A few of our vendors (my selections, not hers) were a challenge to wrangle, and I was relieved to be able to loop Cassandra into those conversations to get things back on track. She also brings a ton of creativity and first hand experience to the design process that I really valued. She built us a beautiful design board and iterated on it with us until we 100% loved it. She also did a great job of day of coordination and made sure we could be fully immersed in the day instead of sweating details. I'm still speechless when I think about our Wedding. It was one of the best days of our lives, and will be crystalized in my mind as a perfect day forever. We are immensely grateful to Cassandra for her outstanding work and thankful for the friendship we developed along the way. Without hesitation, we highly recommend Art in Motion!

Couples are guided every step of the way throughout the planning and design process. While no details are left unturned, Embark Event Design is able to seamlessly execute impeccable events and help create unique moments that will last a lifetime.

I had the pleasure of working with Embark Event Design for our wedding, and I cannot express how thrilled we were with the incredible job they did. From start to finish, Sarah went above and beyond to make our special day truly magical. Planning a wedding for 190 people with multiple spread-out locations within the venue was no small feat, but Sarah handled it with grace and professionalism. She expertly coordinated every aspect of the event, ensuring that every detail was executed flawlessly. Sarah also planned our welcome party, which also included 190 guests, and turned a Lakeside Dock into a magnificent rodeo / hoe-down location that guests were talking about for days! The result was a wedding that was nothing short of luxury and gorgeousness, exceeding our wildest dreams. The decor, the floral arrangements, and the overall ambiance were simply breathtaking. Sarah executed on our ideas and requests to create a wedding design that transformed the venue into a fairy tale setting. What truly set Sarah apart, though, was her ability to handle difficulties with ease. There were moments when unexpected challenges arose, such as difficult access to certain locations within the venue that limited transportation options. However, Sarah remained calm and composed, swiftly coming up with solutions that ensured the event continued seamlessly. Her problem-solving skills were truly remarkable, and it allowed us to relax and enjoy our day without any worries. Additionally, Sarah demonstrated remarkable people skills. She interacted effortlessly with our family members, some of whom posed challenges during the planning process, making everyone feel welcome and valued. Her ability to navigate interpersonal dynamics ensured that the atmosphere was harmonious and stress-free throughout the day. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sarah and her team to anyone planning a large wedding. If you're looking to create a chic, elegant event with beautiful touches and a fun vibe, they are the perfect choice. Their dedication, creativity, and exceptional organizational skills will turn your wedding dreams into a reality. Thank you, Embark Event Design, for making our wedding day the best day of our lives!

...everyone needs a Bradie!" The first time I read those words in a card from one of my clients, I cried. Then, a few months later, a vendor said the same line. While working an event, by the end of the night, everyone was calling me "Mom" because I was there for whatever they needed and it made us all laugh. In looking back at these moments and the feedback from my past clients and colleagues, it makes me proud to think that "everyone needs a Bradie." Everyone needs that person who will support them, hype them up, keep them on track, and be your advocate. In life, that person is likely your partner.

We are high end Wedding professionals who value curating one of kind event experiences that reflect our couples love. InGobo Events' home base is in Southern California and our connections reach all over the nation and abroad.

If you’re undecided about hiring a wedding planner, DO IT. If you don’t know if you need one, that means YOU DO. Furthermore, I highly recommend you book Christina with Ingobgo events. I met her at the Los Angeles Wedding Expo on Sept 24th, 2023. She was the only planner I spoke to at the expo that really took time to explain what a wedding process is like. I know that might sound silly but I felt pretty clueless and the extra energy she gave was very appreciated. At these expos there are hundreds of people filtering through and I felt like she was really passionate about her craft. In less than 2 weeks my then fiancé and I met with her in person and happily signed our contract with 134 days until it was time to say “I do.” Reasons why I loved working with her on my wedding: - She made decisions when I didn’t want to. I never grew up envisioning a wedding so I was pretty clueless for well, most things. I didn’t have a vision for flowers for instance. She crafted a proposal for my flower vision based on elements like favorite color, bridesmaid dresses etc. She literally would put things together and “say tell me if you love it, hate it, or any other feelings you have.” This helped me feel more comfortable to be authentic and honest along the wedding journey. - She negotiated rates for things I wouldn’t have fathomed as negotiable - She gave honest feedback to vendors and had tough conversations I didn’t have the energy for - She joined planning calls we had with our vendors (videographer/DJ) and managed vendor calls that weren’t necessary for us to be on (flowers, furniture) - She met with us in person more times than we anticipated which was great given that we were planning a wedding in 4 months. Meeting in person often isn’t necessary but when you’re moving quickly in a short period of time sometimes the humanizing measures really make the biggest difference like they did here. - She kept us on track with budget and payments. - She uses an app for organizing, designing and tracking your wedding. If you love google docs then you’ll love this process. I’m more of an excel gal and don’t use apps too often but I definitely appreciated the organization of the this! - She has a day of assistant Katie who was funny, and extremely helpful to all members of the wedding party. By the end of the 4 months my partner and I would commonly refer to Christina as our “wedding mom.” I feel sad that the wedding journey has come to an end but I am so happy with how everything transpired. My husband and I had an amazing time, and thanks to Christina we felt our evening was flawless (even though I forgot to bring my husbands bow tie so she had her assistant go get us one at the last hour!) I could keep going but I know this kudos is super long already. My final comment is that no one should have to go thru this process without a “wedding mom.” We will forever be grateful to Christina and all the support and TLC she gave us for our special day.

Our wedding is still a couple of months away (9/23/23) but we have worked alongside Taylor for the past year. When I say that hiring Taylor as our wedding planner was the second best thing we did (other than finding each other of course!) I do not mean that lightly. She has been there for every step of the way and has given her professional opinion and insight for every decision we made. She communicated to each vendor on my behalf, including the vendors that weren’t so easy to get ahold of and the hard stuff like cancelling vendors (and a wedding dress that I was pushed into) that over time I changed my mind about. She has supported us and taken so much stress off my plate as well as kept us focused so nothing was forgotten. She provided task lists that helped us get through our seating chart, song list and photography shot list with ease. She also had great recommendations for other vendors, such as our dj, that we cannot wait to see in action. I always feel heard and seen, and like this wedding will truly come to life because she understands my vision and will go above and beyond to make it happen. She has fought for us every step of the way when needed, and always put our vision first. She exceeded every hope I had when looking for a wedding coordinator and has become one of our friends in the process! Our weekly zoom meetings, the venue tour, room block scouting, tasting appointment and design outings usually ran over because we would stand in the parking lot and talk for an extra hour because she truly cared about what was going on in my life and my mental health during this stressful time and vice versa. I’m almost sad that our wedding is nearly here because I won’t see her as often! I feel like I hired a wedding coordinator but instead got a best friend that truly gave her all to my decisions (and indecisions) towards my wedding day. I am so excited to see it all come together and am so grateful I found Taylor so I was able to really enjoy this process instead of being stressed about every little thing. We have enjoyed planning this wedding alongside her and are so excited our big day is almost here! If you are looking for a planner, she is your girl!

We reached out to Mooi for month-of-coordination for our wedding at OVY Camp, who listed them as a recommended vendor. We're so glad we did. Saskia was thorough, attentive, and communicative leading up to the event to best understand the vision and materials we'd planned for the weekend. Her input was invaluable due to Mooi's familiarity with OVY Camp, and in identifying the areas of preparation that we'd overlooked. Saskia's recommendations and coordination on the day of made all the difference. It allowed us (and our parents!) to be present and fully enjoy our wedding day we spent so much time planning for. We can't thank Saskia and her staff enough for helping to create a day we'll remember for the rest of our lives.

Mailee was so great to work with! As a photographer sometimes you get stuck with being a wedding planner at the same time. When Mailee was there that was not the case. She was organized, personable, and so easy to work with. One thing I really enjoyed is that she kept everything on track but did it without being pushy which is hard to do. Overall, I would recommend her to anyone.

Awarded Best of Zola
Congratulations! You’ve just found the best coordinator ever! My husband and I knew we wanted a “day of coordinator” (so we thought it was called) but did not know exactly how much to prioritize or what to ask for. And then we pretty much stumbled upon Emily after posting in a local facebook group about needing a coordinator and we are so grateful we did. We’ve actually joked to one another that our only wedding regret is not having hired Emily to plan the whole thing. Emily is professional, personable, and an incredible problem-solver. Emily does coordination, which means she actually jumps on board a couple months in advance to get you organized and get all of the vendors together. However, it would be a mistake to say she only gets involved at that point—from the moment we chose Emily, she checked in consistently, asked how she could help, and gave us leads as we navigated picking vendors. When we hit the 8 week mark before the wedding, Emily began initiating more meetings and gathering all of the information she needed. We did a venue walk through and a meeting dedicated to decor. This is all to say—Emily has got your back. Additionally, she is always working behind the scenes to make sure everyone is on the same page. Leading up to the wedding, we had been very organized, but of course, in the week or so before the wedding, it felt like total chaos. We added people to our hair/makeup schedule. We had to add a last-minute vendor that totally changed the flow of our set-up. Suddenly three days before the wedding, the forecast called for rain. Emily took this all in stride. She reassured us that our feelings about anything were valid and then promised she would figure out whatever we wanted to have happen. She always had multiple solution-options for every moment of chaos we felt. And then once we had decided what we wanted, she made it happen! On the day of the wedding, I was completely worry-free because I knew Emily had everything under control. Apparently a few things went wrong that neither my husband nor I knew about until later because Emily just handled it (she did check in about one thing that had been important to us, but when she asked about it, she came with multiple solution options for me to pick from). She also goes above and beyond to make anything right if there is a need to do so (all wedding have things go wrong!). All-in-all, you want a coordinator who is on top of things, but you also want one that you want to spend your day with and Emily strikes that balance perfectly. We were actually sad when our wedding ended and we realized we wouldn’t be chatting with her as regularly!

Since then I've worked in floral design, photography, & the food/wine industries. In 2017, I toured California working event logistics at five different festivals, including Coachella.

Weddings with Angie is a full service event planning and coordination company in beautiful Santa Barbara County and all along the central coast. With over 18 years of experience in the event industry, let me help you create, plan and coordinate the wedding or event of your dreams!

Angie is simply amazing. My fiancée and I contacted many wedding coordinators to inquire about their services, but no one was as detailed, organized, and friendly as Angie. From our very first contact with Angie we knew we had made the right choice and would be in good hands. Although we hired Angie as a coordinator to tie up the loose end and coordinate the day of the wedding, she kept in constant communication since our first contact to understand our vision and help us plan our wedding. She truly went above and beyond to make sure our planning and wedding day went smoothly. My wife and I have a lot of experience planning events so we wanted to do the majority of the planning ourselves, but we had no idea how much work would go into planning a wedding. From our first email with Angie she clearly laid out her services, planning timeline, and also proactively provided information about our wedding venue (Hotel Californian) and all that would go into having our wedding there. To our surprise Angie already knew the staff at the Venue and also knew the ins and outs of planning a wedding there. She helped us plan the wedding down to the very small details. Angie is very knowledgeable and has great vendor relationships in Santa Barbara and the central coast. She was able to provide many vendor recommendations that worked out great and she provided us with honest feedback to allow us to choose the best vendors for us. Angie was lovely to work with. We had a large wedding list and a 28 person wedding party. Angie and her team not only were able to keep everyone on time, but they also made sure everyone was enjoying the day. Our friends and family still talk about how amazing our wedding was. Angie really made us feel like we have known her forever and we felt as if a best friend was planning our wedding and looking out for us. Hire Angie! You won’t regret it.

Being a smaller business allows us the opportunity to be more present and personable, allowing us to to perfectly reflect who you are and what makes your love so special.

I don’t even know where to begin. I hired Rachel about a year out from my wedding. I was looking for a day of coordinator and to say she exceeded those expectations would be the understatement of the century. We had monthly check ins leading up to the wedding, with even more calls as the day got closer, to ensure everything was on track. Hands down the best decision my fiancé and I made in the wedding planning process. I am a type-A perfectionist, who is not easy to please, and Rachel eased all of my worries. Without the help of her and her amazing team, I’m not sure how I would have survived the planning process let alone, made sure everything was perfect on our wedding day. Rachel and her team ensured everything ran on time, contacted all vendors leading up to wedding, ran our rehearsal , set up all tables, flowers, candles, bars, gift tables, cigar bar, the list goes on and on. She truly was our wedding fairy godmother and a million thank you’s would never suffice in expressing my gratitude towards her and her incredible team.

As a planner, she brought me excellent options and guided me every step of the way. It was so easy to talk and brainstorm with her! I threw so many last-minute changes and requests, and she handled them like a pro. Thanks to her, we had some really amazing vendors for photography, videography, venue, catering, and DJ, who made our day stress-free. They had such good attitudes and truly wanted the best for us. Paige tried to understand what we wanted every step of the way and helped us achieve our goals. She was easily reachable and approachable. My partner and I got married in a traditional Hindu wedding ceremony followed by an American reception in the evening. Both events required very different kinds of planning and aesthetics. The decor for morning ceremony and evening reception was absolutely gorgeous! Paige and her team knocked it out of the park. Her assistant was super sweet too. Not just on the wedding day, Paige was super helpful in setting up pre-wedding events and activities, including pre-wedding shoots, food tasting, and events right before the wedding. My partner and I are not from Vegas, so we entirely relied on Paige and her team, and they did not disappoint. They are the absolute best at what they do!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you read any review, read this one. For context, I'm a producer, my entire career is planning big scale events, productions, and hiring people. We went through 3 coordinators before finding Tara and it was because I had such a high standard for who I wanted to help me on my wedding day. Tara was, hands down, the best thing that could have happened to us for our wedding. We had multiple setbacks and last minute changes and none of them threw Tara off her step. She was honest with us 100% of the time about what was possible and what wasn't possible. And whenever either of us had concerns, Tara's response was always exactly what we needed to hear. She assured us that everything would work out and she would take care of it and she absolutely did. We did all of the decorations for our wedding ourselves and relied on Tara to set it up and execute our vision. Not only were we both FLOORED walking down the aisle seeing what she had done, it was actually better than we could have ever imagined. Additionally, after the wedding I found out that there was an issue with our credit card that almost prevented the vendor from delivering the items on time - Tara took care of it without telling us (the best thing a wedding coordinator can do) and I really appreciated how it was handled without needing to ask us. I can't say this enough, Tara was the best thing that ever happened to us for our wedding. Truly I don't think we paid her enough. We are so incredibly grateful for what she's done for us and if we were to ever have a huge event in need of planning, I'd hire her in a heartbeat. Stop looking for a coordinator, just hire her. If you see this same review on multiple sites, it is because I will never stop copying and pasting how amazing this woman and her business is. Wishing you all as great of a wedding as we had.

I would love to turn your wedding dreams into a reality, and make sure you feel like a guest at your own wedding!

Meredith was a pleasure to work with. Upon hiring her as our wedding day of coordinator, she presented us with a comprehensive checklist to make sure that we were prepared for our wedding. While we worked the remaining things that we missed from the list, Meredith diligently worked on coordinating with the other vendors and putting together a timeline for our wedding. When we first saw Meredith at the wedding, she was in her element. She had the staff working to make sure the drinks were stocked, guests knew where to sign in, the dJ and the Photo Booth knew where to setup, the caterers knew where to be and more. She could not have been more professional. Upon the completion of our photos, we realized that we were going to have to move the timeline up. Meredith told us that would be no problem and immediately began making sure all necessary parties knew the update and got where they needed to go.

They schedule weekly meetings to keep you in the loop throughout this process, giving you consistent updates in the lead-up to your special day.

Meshawn and the team at Perfection Unlimited were our Coordination team for our October 2023 wedding. We could not have asked for a better team to coordinate our unique wedding ceremony that was a surprise to our guests. After connecting with PU via Thumbtack back in mid-2023, we spoke with Matthew who immediately understood the importance of our vision. Our wedding was held at the New Parkway Theater in Oakland, Ca. It started off as a friends and family screening of a short film (the Bride was the director, the Groom was a crew member). Then, during the post-film Q&A, we revealed to our guests that we were getting married right then and there in the theater. Not only did PU coordinate a film screening complete with red carpet, step & repeat photos, food, drink, DJ and more, but they helped transition into a full wedding ceremony. Meshawn ran point on everything: rehearsal, procession, recession, cake, etc. Stellar team members, Angel and Rakisha, executed everything flawlessly. Angel acted as the special events coordinator, making sure our tech was on point (sound, picture, graphics, everything!) and she even made a reel for us to post on our socials. PU was up for the challenge of our 2-in-1 surprise wedding/film screening, and they rose to that challenge with much aplomb. For what we asked for, they could've up-charged us greatly. PU made us feel heard and seen throughout the process. We wanted our wedding to be a collaboration between BIPOC businesses and creators celebrating what we can achieve when we work together. Thanks to PU for what they promised, perfection.

Kayce is the Owner and Lead Coordinator at Kake Events! Her love for all things wedding began at the age of 5, when she booked her first wedding gig as flower girl! Since then she has held many other jobs within the wedding and events industry which give her great insight in to all aspects of your big day! ​ Three words that describe Kayce: Passionate, Organized and Caring ​ Favorites: Dogs, Pinterest, Iced Coffee, Bravo TV and GUAC! ​ Star Sign: Capricorn/Aquarius Cusp

Kayce was hands down the MVP at my wedding! I truly could not imagine my wedding day or the weeks leading up to it without her help. She was there every step of the way and made sure that everything came together seamlessly. She was respectful of my vision and opinions, and did a really amazing job guiding me to make decisions without making it about what she wanted – she had a way of making me feel like I was still in control but alleviated the stressful details that were over my head. She was professional and well organized throughout the planning process, always making me feel 100% comfortable we were on the same page. She was on time to all of our meetings and always had a positive attitude, which helped me stay focused though the thick of all the stress. She kept things fun! And I needed that. Kayce absolutely killed it on the wedding day – I had so many compliments from my bridesmaids and family members saying how great she was. I didn’t realize how consuming the actual wedding day would be until it came, and I’m so grateful I had Kayce there to keep things on schedule. Somehow among all the chaos, she managed to keep her composure and help us focus on being present for all the moments that we wanted to experience. I couldn’t ever thank Kayce enough for what she contributed to our wedding and I highly recommend her servic

Hello! My name is Kaci Danae Peel and I can't wait to meet and talk about your upcoming wedding day! ​ I grew up surrounded by strong women with high ambitions to make their small businesses successful in the hospitality industry. They were restaurant owners, bakers, caterers, and florists, and seeing their dreams come to life has lead me to pursue my own small business as a Day of Wedding Coordinator. After working in hospitality for 2 years as a Wedding Coordinator at a Westin hotel, Covid put a pause to my hotel weddings and fueled my fire to continue pursuing my passion of weddings by starting Kaci Danae Events.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kaci was truly the best day of coordinator we could have asked for! She was responsive from the very beginning and after meeting for the intro call, I knew she would be the best person to trust for all the details on our wedding day. We put our trust and confidence in her and she came through executing our vision to be better than we could have imagined. She respected all of our non-traditional wedding plans and never tried to convince us to do something else which we really appreciated. She allowed us to enjoy the week leading up to our wedding day knowing I didn't have to answer any last minute vendor questions, she calmed my nerves on our day, and she knew exactly how to handle my crazy family and friends to allow everyone to have an amazing day with us. Thank you so much Kaci for making our dream wedding come true!
