Honestly 10 out of 5 stars is what I would give this company. Misha was my day of coordinator and she was attentive, caring, proactive, and really loves weddings l. She listened intently on how my partner and I met and looked through my wedding PowerPoint and responded to all my texts. There was a hiccup the morning of my wedding but gthr went above and beyond where the founder of the company actually came to help to make sure everything was seamless. I wasn't expecting that at all so seeing her there assisting made me feel at ease. If they weren't there I think I would've been a hot mess. Worth every penny.

Wedding Reviews It’s been two weeks since our wedding, and wow, I’m still reminiscing about our big day! I stumbled upon Oso via Facebook in early 2022. I was originally interested in their Photobooth services, but after hopping off our first call, I wanted them to be our event planners as well. Raymundo and Michelle were the sweetest people! After that first meeting, Oso has been with us every step of the way— from helping us get organized, sourcing amazing vendors, and making sure everything was going as smooth as butter. I will admit, that I was a Type A bride. I needed communication to be open, quick, and reliable. I was also very picky with my vendors and certain aspects of the wedding were non-negotiable. Michelle always responded within 10 minutes via text and I appreciated Oso’s patience in helping source my vendors. Never once did they rush me to make a decision. The month or two leading up to the wedding was so easy. Communication was always there (and quick!) and I knew exactly what I needed to do or what Oso would be handling for us. As part of their full-service planning, we had unlimited access to their inventory (such a money saver!). Everything they had was tastefully sourced or curated by Michelle (their signage is so cute!). We even had a mock trial day to visualize how all the decor will look. Finally, our big day was here. It went by so fast! Michelle executed my vision, and Raymundo made sure we kept to the schedule. (Also, shoutout to them for capturing BTS photos and sending them to me after. I didn’t get a chance to see all the small details in action so the photos and videos were appreciated). The Photo Booth was also a hit! So many props! So many cute photos! I loved looking through the digital files. Other photo booth vendors I have worked with in the past would only send digital versions of the single/individual photo/shot. Oso, however, sent that PLUS the digital templated version of the photo strips in case we wanted to print more of them. They’re so considerate! There was a hiccup that evening (tell me why the open bar shut down an hour before what was stated in our contract, and the bartenders had the audacity to tell me I was wrong. Me— The Type A bride who signed off on the contract. Luckily the catering manager was there to correct the misinformed bartenders, but I was still upset they shut down the bar at all. I went to Oso to let them know what was going on and they made sure the bar was open and running the rest of the night (thank you Michelle and Raymundo!!). Overall, Oso has been so communicative, sweet, and patient. I sincerely appreciated all their time and effort! They are amazing human beings and will not let you down!

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.

We cannot recommend Sandra and her team enough! Hiring her was by far and away the best decision we made. Sandra orchestrated the most magical and epic wedding weekend, and we're still buzzing from the experience! Every detail of our reception (down to the disco mushrooms) and the entire day was better than we could have ever imagined. Sandra supported us through the whole process with amazing dedication and creativity. She made sure she understood our vision and brought all of our ideas to life. Her frequent check-in calls, emails, and the countless hours going over all our ideas and questions were invaluable. It was incredible to have her wealth of knowledge guiding us every step of the way. Sandra and her team were there not just for us, but for our wedding party, family, and friends all day long! We've been getting compliments from our guests about how incredibly fun and seamless the wedding was! We truly couldn't have done it without her!!!

I am a 'hands-on' Wedding and Events Coordinator that goes above and beyond my client's expectations. I take pride in what I do and ensure that everyone from my Bride and Groom or Host, their guests, and even their hired vendors are taken care of throughout the celebration.

Elizabeth was the coordinator for our wedding and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Even from the very first call, she had such a calming presence that I knew she would be a vendor that I can reliably count on. We had a few calls with Elizabeth the months and weeks leading up to the wedding. During each call, Elizabeth would provide us with all the items we needed to check off before the big day. She also helped us fine-tune our timeline, and was great at communicating with all our vendors. Our big day definitely went very smoothly, with much thanks to Elizabeth! We'd highly recommend working with her for your wedding.

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.

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!

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.

The planning process was smooth and stress-free, thanks to Diana's meticulous organization and clear communication. She handled all the logistics seamlessly, allowing us to relax and enjoy our wedding day without any worries. On the big day, Diana was everywhere and nowhere at the same time – always present when we needed her, yet never intrusive. She coordinated with the vendors, managed the timeline, and addressed any unexpected issues with calm and efficiency. Our guests were impressed by how smoothly everything ran, and we received countless compliments on how beautiful, fun, unique, and well-organized the event was. We are incredibly grateful to Diana for making our wedding day truly magical. Her dedication, passion, and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the day. We highly recommend Blue Sierra Events to any couple looking for a wedding coordinator who will go above and beyond to make their wedding day unforgettable. Thank you, Diana, for everything!

Lavender Crown started in 2019. Based in San Jose, we serve the Greater Bay Area and beyond.

Whether you just want some advice during the planning process or need someone to help save you over 100+ hours of your time, we're here for you.

We interviewed and had conversations with a few wedding coordination vendors and Lavender Crown was the best fit! Michelle was easy to chat with, was knowledgeable about the wedding experience, shared her planning/coordination experience, and described how we could benefit from her services. We hired Lavender Crown Events for full planning. Michelle and Hannah were beneficial throughout our entire planning process providing advice and making suggestions to ensure our vendors and venue had the information they needed. They took care of tasks and worked with each vendor to ensure that we had a smooth wedding, and what a wedding it was! We felt so well taken care of throughout the entire process, and especially the few days up to and including our wedding day. We were so thankful to not have to worry about anything day-of and had a wedding making amazing memories! Michelle had a fantastic and detailed timeline and her expertise and know-how made it so our vendors had an easy time working with each other! Overall, we're so thankful that we hired Michelle (and Hannah!!) from Lavender Crown. Cannot recommend enough! If you are choosing between any other planners/coordinators, choose Lavender Crown.

I love getting to know each couple and embracing their unique love story.

Kendra is an amazing wedding planner and person. She provided full-scale planning for us, it was the best decision we made in the wedding planning process. She assisted us with every detail at anytime. I appreciated having her input on styling as well as logistics of our big day. She is always there to remind what the day is truly about. Day of she was an all star, put in so much time and effort to insure every detail was as perfect as we had dreamed it to be.

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!

...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."

At the beginning of wedding planning I was convinced we did not need a wedding coordinator, we had a tight budget, intimate guest list & I already had the "planning" portion basically together. I quickly came to the realization that there was absolutely a need for help from a professional. Katelynn came highly recommended to us by our DJ. After doing some research on her work & seeing her website I knew it was a match made & we had to have her! Katelynn's personality is so bubbly & she is so full of life. We instantly had a great connection. Through our entire process leading up to as well the day of the wedding she was a super hero to me helping me think of & decide on things I couldn't have done without her. As they say, there are always a couple things that don't go to plan on wedding day, and there was. However, our day turned out to be the most stress free & put together special event I could have ever dreamed of. Not only did she create a perfect timeline & handle everything for set up. Everything was to ensure we felt at ease with no rush. She also made sure to bring us a plate of food at the beginning of dinner to make sure we ate!! She provided so much assistance & emotional support throughout, always checking in to make sure if we needed anything. I am forever grateful for her presence, incredible service & ability to be the amazing human she is. We couldn't have done it without you, thank you for our perfect day!!

Brandy was one of the BEST decisions we made with our entire wedding planning process! She was extremely helpful to both my husband and I and always answered all our questions with great suggestions that showed her expertise. She has lots of inventory to rent out as well and could help with some DIY things I needed help with like escort cards and a backdrop, which was a great option to have! Her travel agent experience came in so handy for searching for hotel blocks and working with hotels. On wedding day she was available for all questions from guests and others so that we could just enjoy our day! We had full trust in her and her assistants’ abilities to problem solve and take care of anything, so we were able to truly relax to enjoy our day. She’s the best and I can’t recommend her enough!!

Weddings have been a part of my life since I was six years old. Growing up as the youngest of eight cousins, someone was always getting married. The summer of my 21st birthday, I started my career with weddings at an Alaskan lodge hosting ten weddings that first summer. 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was so relieved to have hired Rose to the Occasions for our wedding! Planning a wedding across the country from where you live can be crazy stressful so our caterer recommended reaching out to Rose for help. From the first call with her I immediately felt at ease and knew that we had found our planner. Any stress I communicated to her she had the answer to calm my fears. On the wedding weekend her and her team worked seamlessly with our other vendors to make the day go perfect. Our wedding was an absolute dream and we owe it all to Rose to the Occasions!

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.

Just as important is Jacki's understanding of wedding days and special events, their timelines, working with other vendors as a team, and how best to be able to touch up your makeup throughout the day (esp those lips!) and making sure you look fresh! She takes care to listen to her clients' needs rather than choosing what style to use. Jacki is just one of the kindest, most lighthearted and fun wedding professionals out there.

Everything from it being colorful and vibrant to finding an ADA friendly venue to incorporating our dog and favorite beverage Spindrift to herding us all on the wedding day (no strong feat!).

I love people & love 💗 I get to utilize my 20+ years of experience in the service industry & B.A. in sociology to help my couples enjoy themselves during such a special time of their lives. Growing up in a large family I’ve been throwing/hosting parties & events what feels like my entire life (for free lol). Since a young age I would say that some day I’d be getting paid to throw parties because I loved it. Then in February of 2017 I finally decided to enter the industry professionally & also became the Venue Coordinator for The Yolanda Ranch. I was truly honored that then in 2018 & 2019 we were voted Best Wedding Venue in Yolo County 💗

Cristina is amazing! My husband and I got engaged right before COVID hit, so we were checking out venues right before then. We met Cristina in March of 2020, and she made such a great impression on us we didn't forget her or the venue even after 2 years of waiting to start wedding planning again. We reached back out to her and were so happy she and the venue were still available. She did so much to help make our wedding experience the best it could be and more. She is incredibly personable, reliable, responsive, and I felt so much more comfortable knowing we had her to help and guide us through on our wedding day. All of the vendors she recommended were great and made it so much easier on us not having to try to do so much research on reliable and affordable vendors on our own. Cristina is so friendly and sweet, and is such a family and people person and made me, my husband, and my family feel like she truly cared about our wedding day and experience. My family is extremely important to us, and weddings can be stressful and she was able to gain that trust from my family immediately and we felt that we were in good hands. From beginning to end, she was such a tremendous help and I am so thankful for her, and her business!
