From the moment I spoke to Carolyn during our initial phone consultation, I was filled with ease and knew she was the person I could trust in the process of coordinating our special day! Carolyn’s calming and positive demeanor was such a Godsend in the otherwise overwhelming process of making many small decisions leading up to the big day. Communication with Carolyn was such a breeze and she was available through text and several phone call meetings where we would talk through ideas and details. I shared my ideas with her, and she immediately understood my vision and helped so much in executing everything we wanted in our wedding day and more. Carolyn coordinated with our vendors on the month of the wedding to ensure that everyone was on the same page. She helped our day flow so effortlessly and even between several locations from the hotel where we got ready, to the church for our ceremony, to our reception venue, and eventually after party. She added personal touches to the experience that were so special to us. Carolyn is truly such a joy to work with and made us feel so cared for during the whole wedding experience. We were in the best hands. We highly recommend Fête Events to anyone looking for a wedding planner who combines professionalism with a personal touch. Her dedication and expertise ensured that our day was nothing short of perfect, leaving us free to enjoy every moment without worry. Carolyn exceeded our expectations in every way, and we couldn't have asked for a better partner to help bring our dream wedding to life.

I met Christina at a Bridal Expo and was amazed with the offered Day Of Coordination package. I was able to easily communicate my priorities on the special day and even share my wedding pet peeves to avoid. Christina was excellent at brainstorming ideas and suggested plenty of ways to approach a situation. When we worked on building the timeline together, she was very thorough and insightful. I sent her so many timeline revisions (as timing means EVERYTHING and it definitely matters), but Christina took them and made it look seamless. On the wedding day, Christina and her team (thank you Heather and Leanna!) made sure we were happy and stress-free. Our morning started with Heather running the errands of the busy morning and was the go-to person for myself and the wedding entourage. Heather was also able to help us create a floral bouquet we used for our ceremony offering. It turned out so beautiful! She did a terrific job. I was always reminded to take a bite of food and to stay hydrated while we were getting ready. Christina helped us execute the ribbon wand exit after our church ceremony. It turned out to be one of the highlights of the day. Everyone had so much fun doing it. As for the reception, Ingobo was able to help set the table decorations- centerpieces, candles, name cards, order of guests, etc. Leanna was at our side making sure we were well-fed and no one pulled us away from the sweetheart table. She was able to give us reminders of the timeline and was very sweet. Overall, Christina and her team orchestrated our wedding day perfectly. We received many compliments from our guests stating they noticed how smooth the day went. Ingobo's Day of Coordination services made a huge impact on how we were able to enjoy our special day. My husband and I are truly grateful for hiring them as part of our wedding team.

Hi! I'm Brooklyn - the owner! I'm 22 years old & happily married to my best friend, Michael. Traveling is a huge part of our lives, WDW is our happy place, & our next adventure is never far away.

When you think of your wedding, all you can hope for is nothing will go wrong, and if it does, it will be small. When you hire Brooklyn from Brooklyn Rain brides, you can rest assured that your day will be utter perfection. throughout the wedding planning process, Brooklyn was always there for me to reach out to and ask questions and give her professional suggestions. She is beyond wise for her years and knows everything a bride could ask in hand already. Even with me being in the industry Brooklyn would ask me questions leading up to the big day I didn't even know I had, she made sure I knew when and how to get my marriage license and took care of sending it back to the clerk for us. She handled getting the rings to the correct bridal party members and made sure to grab our vow books before the ceremony so we didn't have to remember them. My guests came to me after the ceremony and said it was the best ceremony they had ever seen and I couldnt agree more it had so much emotion, romance and pure magic sprinkled in and brooklyn was incredibly calm collected and well spoken capturing my husband and Is love story perfectly. I cannot recommend her services enough, not only can she officiate the most romantic ceremony ever She is also an incredible wedding coordinator and will make sure your wedding runs smoothly allowing you to have a stress free wedding day! I literally didn't have to handle a single thing on my wedding day because she was there to handle it all. She made all the difference plus she continued to come and check in in me to see how I was doing throughout the getting ready process and has the calmest nature helping me to feel ready before I walked down the aisle. not only did she handle coordination and officiating the wedding she sprinkled in some extra magic by taking some gorgeous photos throughout the day and sent them to me the morning after the wedding so I would have a little something until my professional photos arrived! I am so utterly grateful to Brooklyn for making the best day of my life utterly perfect. She may be based in Ohio, however, my wedding was in Michigan-she has traveled all over the United States to work weddings and is so worth it, so feel free to inquire about out of state travel. Anyone who is engaged, I can't say it enough, you need a Brooklyn to help guide you in your wedding planning!

From our very first meeting with Shaymah, we felt an overwhelming sense of trust and confidence. Beyond her professional expertise, Shaymah took the time to genuinely get to know us and our love story, which added a deeply personal touch to every aspect of our wedding day. Her expertise, dedication, and passion for her work were evident in every interaction. Shaymah displayed incredible foresight, setting up a rain plan that ensured our wedding would be beautiful, rain or shine. Her meticulous nature was evident when she obtained insurance documentation from each vendor, leaving no room for unforeseen issues. The detailed floor plan and the comprehensive task checklist she provided not only guided us in the lead-up to our wedding but also served as a testament to her thoroughness. Shaymah crafted an individualized itinerary tailored to our unique vision for the day, and proactively shared this with all vendors to ensure a harmonized and seamless execution. What we particularly appreciated was Shaymah's commitment to regular meetings, ensuring we were always on the same page. Her recommendations for vendors were invaluable, introducing us to professionals who matched our vision and expectations. On our wedding day, Shaymah was nothing short of exceptional. Every event, from the ceremony to the reception, flowed effortlessly under her watchful eye. Shaymah expertly coordinated our ceremony rehearsal, ensuring everyone was well-prepared, and then masterfully managed the actual ceremony, ensuring every moment unfolded exactly as envisioned. Her constant communication with us throughout the day reassured us that everything was under control, allowing us to truly soak in and enjoy every moment. Shaymah's adaptability in the face of unforeseen circumstances was exemplified when the ice cream truck mistakenly went to the wrong venue; she swiftly coordinated with them, ensuring they reached the correct location without a hitch. Additionally, Shaymah displayed tremendous thoughtfulness by ensuring all our gifts were safely secured and put away after the festivities, giving us one less thing to worry about. To say Shaymah went above and beyond is an understatement. We wholeheartedly recommend her services to any couple in search of a wedding coordinator who truly understands the intricacies and emotions behind a wedding.

We fell in love with The Gaston the minute we walked through the front door. We knew immediately that would be the venue we went with. The house is so beautifully decorated and there's so much detail every section you look. We loved the idea that it was basically turn-key so that all we needed to worry about were the dinner details and flowers. Adrienne was also very helpful along the way letting us know when it was time to start booking which vendors and making excellent recommendations. The weekend of the wedding, all of the staff was so attentive and helpful to us.

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.

Serenity Weddings

  • Offers 5 services

  • Serves Salinas, CA for additional fees

I started in the wedding industry when I found bridal world in 2018. Building a career in bridal brought me back to Los Angeles from Seattle, back to family and into a world where I could immerse myself in all things bridal and weddings. I worked my way up as a stylist to the couture level, managing one of the flagship stores in LA and specializing in custom, one of a kind designs as a stylist. I learned more and more about weddings, and one day started day-of coordinating for friends and family. That grew to a passion and led to the birth of Serenity Weddings.

We hired Serenity Weddings for our wedding last year, and it was the best decision we made for the day. We opted for the month-of package. We knew that we wanted to design our wedding ourselves to make it unique to our love story, but that we didn't have time the month of the wedding to add all of the last minute coordinating between the vendors to our workload. Desiree met with us mid-planning process to do a walk-through of the venue and get an idea of what we had planned for our day. She gave tons of helpful tips and truly made sure that she understood our vision. The month of the wedding she coordinated between all the vendors to make sure that everything was covered. Thank goodness! Turns out we forgot to order bathrooms since we were at a house, even though we didn't want people going into the home. She saved the day and made sure that we got an extra generator from the rental company to supply the power. On the day of the wedding she arrived ahead of the first vendor and made sure that everything was perfect. And if it wasn't, we never knew! All of our family and friends got to enjoy our wedding with us, without having to worry about how everything was going, all thanks to Serenity Weddings. I also worked with Desiree for my bridal styling, choosing the Final Touches package. Finding my dress was easy, but the endless choices for everything else was daunting. She helped me choose the perfect hairstyle and makeup combo for my enchanted look, and the accessories she chose were just the right touch.

I simplify the wedding planning process, ensuring every event exudes modernity, timeless luxury, and incredible detail while providing an iconic experience for everyone. I first fell in love with weddings when I watched The Wedding Planner as a child, and I've now been planning events for over a decade. I'm obsessed with the details and ensuring every event is as unique as its hosts.

Talk about making the impossible, possible! I had worked with MVW Events to plan a surprise engagement picnic for my then girlfriend, now wife. Around the time, I was wrapping up my graduate program and set to graduate the day after I planned on proposing. MVW helped me set the vision for the picnic and coordinated sourcing vendors for the right deals on items that would make the moment extra special. With all the details in place, I was confident in what we had planned and was actually less nervous about the whole bended knee thing because of it. Fast forward to the day of and guess what ... It RAINED!! so the park area I had in mind did not allow folks on the grass after fresh rain so we had to change plans on the fly. Morgan and her super creative brain proposed she and her team set up everything in my apartment instead. That way we could have everything we needed for the occasion within arms reach. She even secretly met me while I was out with my partner at a school event to grab my apartment keys and head over to set everything up while I was out. When we got home, when I say the place looked like MAGIC!! We were both blown away (but of course I had an idea of what to expect). And of course, it went perfectly from there. We are now coming on a year happily married and I would not have had the confidence to execute such a plan on my own. THANK YOU Morgan & Team!! 10/10 Recommend!

As a wedding photographer I feel like I can confidently say that it’s rare to find a coordinator as amazing as Emily! The amount of work she puts into weddings is beyond anything I’ve seen from other coordinators, and on top of that she is such a fun and easygoing person to work with. Before we even met I remember emailing back and forth with Emily and just thinking “wow this lady is doing sooo much for this couple” and it showed through on their wedding day. The details, vendors, and the couple’s vision for the day totally came across flawlessly and I know the bride and groom were absolutely thrilled with the way their day ran. One of my favorite things about Emily is that she is so willing to work with other vendors. Coordinators are typically the ones calling ALL the shots for a wedding (other than the bride, of course) so it’s not uncommon for coordinators to ignore requests from other vendors. This is not the case with Emily. Not only did she want to hear from me about what I thought would work for the photo timeline, she also listened to my suggestions over a phone call and implemented them! It’s always such a relief when the coordinator wants to make the day run smoothly for the bride and groom and the vendor team! Emily is not only the greatest help to the couple but also uplifts and supports the vendor team all day. She is wonderful to work with and I can’t wait to work with her again in the future!

Welcome to the Weddings By Leigh family, where we bring one-of-a-kind luxury weddings to life in the most extraordinary ways. As a dynamic mother-daughter team with unparalleled expertise in wedding planning and design, Paige Leigh and Christy Leigh are dedicated to crafting distinctive celebrations that reflect your unique love story. ~West Coast Based Destination Wedding Planners~

I am still so speechless on how perfect everything went during our wedding because of Weddings by Leigh. I truly wish I could give them more than just 5 stars! My husband and I were living in San Francisco at the time when I first saw their Instagram as I was searching for a Wedding Planner in Las Vegas. We were about a year and a half before our wedding date and I knew I needed all the help since my husband and I were going to be newly living in Las Vegas once our wedding occurred. Paige walked us through every step of the way and answered all of our questions through the whole entire year and a half. We chose their full on wedding package and honestly it was exactly everything we needed in a wedding planner since I am a perfectionist, my husband has his own OCD, and we both live very busy lives working in the medical field. There would be many nights where my husband and I would have a hundred questions and Paige would always be there to save the day. The love and hard work Paige put into our wedding was shown through the entire process where she would contact us to even make sure we were doing well and if we needed to do a phone, video or in person meeting. My husband and I had so many ideas for this wedding and had no idea on how to bring it together, but Paige truly exceeded our expectations. It has almost been a couple months since our wedding and everyone is still telling us that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Our guests are still expressing how amazing The Weddings by Leigh Team did to plan and to execute our wedding day. We would recommend them to everyone!! Even, my brother and his fiancee are planning their wedding in the fall of 2025 and they are so excited to use Weddings by Leigh to help them plan.

Hi, I’m Justine! I’m here to help you and yours curate the event of your dreams leaving behind unforgettable memories. I’m here to help you through a small backyard party to a 100+ person wedding at your favorite venue.

Greetings to those who are reading. My name is Shanice and I had the pleasure of working with Justine as a makeup artist for an engagement party. The event was planned and executed flawlessly. On my arrival, parking was easy and there were clear directions made for all attendees. When I arrived I was greeted by Justine, and assisted with my bags by others staffed by Justine to offer helping hands to my work area that was separate, clean, and spacious. My work area had amazing lighting already set up, a chair and table set up, and a personalized gift bag and refreshments waiting for me. I thought that it was above and beyond with service for her vendors. It felt good to work in an environment where I walked in with great impressions, service, and appreciation for my services rendered. I was grateful to have a setup that allowed me to work with ease and comfort. Each person who required makeup had a time slot and was on time and prepped very well. Justine did a wonderful job at making sure everyone was aware of what was going on and where we would be, if working. I appreciated her attentiveness to detail and how through her planning was executed. I also received an itinerary of the event and it was filled with beautiful moments and fun. As an attendee the setup of the event space was gorgeous. There was plenty of refreshments in a spacious and well decorated area. The food was also amazing. I loved the cultural diversity that she offered at her event to make everyone feel welcomed and comfortable. While I didn’t come knowing many people, because of the events and ice breaker games that we played, I left making many new acquaintances. Justine’s event was flawless and I look forward to working with her anytime and in the nearby future.

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.

My wife and I are so happy about our choice to hire Rose as our wedding coordinator! She was helpful, kind, and super organized. Our day was incredible and it felt great to get to enjoy our wedding without having to worry about small details.

Nina McCandless is an events professional with more than 18 years experience executing exquisite, gorgeous, memorable events all over the world. Obsessed with the details and in pursuit of achieving an indelible finish, she's worked with brides, elopers, corporate clients, HNIs and well-known brands like Coach, Fendi, NBC Universal, and Glamor Magazine, to name a few. Since 2019, this talented and zen planner has branched out fully into the wedding industry and loves working with couples to create a magical wedding celebrations, and planning unforgettable honeymoons.

Nina is not what you'd expect of a wedding planner - she is so much more. Besides the fact that she has impeccable taste, an easygoing hat about her, expert knowledge and tons of vendor relations, she made me feel from the first day of hiring her through the moments when the wedding was over and I was sharing photos, that everything would be perfect. Like a coach, she put a few of my expectations, all of my anxiety and some of my to-do list in check, but did so with such professionalism and calmness, that I feel in hindsight her fee was more than worth it. I was apprehensive about paying a planner for something I truly believed I could do. Later than I'd like to admit, I became overwhelmed and seriously behind as the actual day neared. I was referred to Nina by my fiancé's friend [note that my fiancé was so over me planning the wedding me on my own]. I had fun on my day, I was relaxed and look like I was truly enjoying our day in ALL the photos. Adding that Nina also flew in a DJ from Miami who I was and am a fan of. I thought it would be a gazillion dollars, but it was just a little bit more than the local DJs. Her industry experience def gives her an edge and made us look super cool.

Every wedding is as unique as the love it celebrates, and I would love to help bring your vision to life! My goal is for every couple to look back in 20 years and think, “That really was one of the happiest and best days of our lives!”

I could not be more happy with how our wedding day turned out with the help of Rae Weddings & Events! Rebecca came on a little later in our wedding planning process, and she took the stress out of the final weeks and days leading up to the wedding. She absolutely shined on the day-of-coordination. I felt like we could completely rely on her to ensure everything went smoothly and just focus on enjoying our day. She also personally went above and beyond with the last minute details. We had a backyard wedding which required a ton of direct coordination with vendors, figuring out our own decorations/style, and flexibility when changes needed to be made. We were really planning the event from scratch down to the last detail, so we were thrilled to be able utilize Rebecca's expertise and she took so much of the burden and stress off our shoulders. Working with Rae Weddings & Events was an absolute game changer- I truly believe my wedding was more polished, stress-free, and enjoyable for us and our guests thanks of them.

The first time I worked as an event coordinator, I knew I had found my calling. In 2022, I followed my heart and began planning weddings, parties, and events as my career and I've never looked back! I have a wandering soul. I was born in Massachusetts, went to college in Vermont, studied abroad in Ireland, struck out to Utah and have now settled down in Southern California. On the weekends when I'm not working, you can find me chasing the last 7 of my bucket list states, exploring our nation's national parks, or hunting for all kinds of treasure - from metal detecting on the beach to sifting through thrift store aisles!

We used Rachel as our day-of wedding coordinator. She and her assistant did an amazing job! There was not one issue that I knew about… She took care of everything. She is very organized, and had great communication and professionalism throughout our wedding planning. Thank you so much, Rachel!

I legitimately do not even know where to begin, other than HIRE TARA IMMEDIATELY! I am probably one of the most Type A people, you will ever meet. So relinquishing control day of was extremely hard for me. However, I knew that if I actually wanted to enjoy the day, unlike many of the weddings I have been in previously, I needed a day of coordinator. I interviewed several and Tara was the ONLY one that made me feel good. She was thorough, on top of things, and, quite frankly, equally as Type A. I can honestly say we were ALWAYS on the same page. I swear every email between us started with "I was just about to ask you...". I never would have been able to relax on my day, had it not been for Tara. She took my vision and brought it to life, despite the venue not being prepared, and giving some push back. She was able to pivot flawlessly whenever there was a hurdle, and she truly delivered the dreamiest wedding for us! Never once did stress get passed down to us as the Bride and Groom. She was reassuring, confident and helpful. Honestly, the day was better than I ever could have imagined, given some of the issues we had with the venue. She was a total and complete life saver, running between the two hotels my now Husband and I were at, when we forgot things. She even brought things to our hotel rooms for us, when we had forgotten them. I got home thinking I had lost my personalized hanger, and low and behold found it neatly packed away in one of my boxes, courtesy of Tara. She controlled all of the controllables and more, and I have not heard a single negative things about the day. In fact, I have had guests ask for her number, because she was so incredible and on top of everything. The best advice I can give to any couple in need of any wedding planning/coordination services is RUN DO NOT WALK TO ELARDO EVENTS. She is quite possibly, the best!

We cannot recommend Rachel Good Times enough. She was so on top of it, kept us from being stressed, and made our wedding day incredible. We “trusted the process” and when we showed up, the venue was beautiful, everything was perfectly set up, and things stayed on track. She set up detailed timelines, and not only supported us, but our bridal grooms party and parents. Her tools and explanations for what we needed to do simplified the process so much for us. Any little detail we ever mentioned was addressed, included, or fixed! I feel incredibly confident that we could never have pulled this off without Rachel and her team.

Hello there! 👋🏼 My name is Meredith, and here at Ekklesia Events we exist to come alongside couples with professional tips, heartfelt encouragement, and a good laugh to make sure your wedding journey is filled with bunches of joy. 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. As the night came to an end, it was such a weight off of our shoulders knowing that we didn't have anything to worry about. I would recommend Meredith and Ekklesia Events with any family member or friend looking for a wonderful wedding coordinator. Meredith is truly a pleasure to work with and helped to make our special day so fun and beautiful. Thank you!!
