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.

Our wedding planning business was born out of a love for all things dreamy and romantic. We understand that every detail matters when it comes to planning your wedding. That's why we're committed to paying close attention to the small things, while keeping the big picture in mind. Our hope for all of our clients is for them to feel the love and care we've put into building oso events. Your special day matters to us, and we always want to go above and beyond to make it exactly what you envisioned. Our goal is to ensure that you feel comfortable every step of the way to make informed decisions and to make the process as stress-free as possible.

Awarded Best of Zola
We first learned about Oso Events in the summer of 2022 while remotely planning our California wedding from the East Coast. From the very first introductory call, they blew us away with their professionalism, punctuality, warmth, organization, and excellence. Without them, our wedding would not have been nearly as amazing as it was! They found us fantastic vendors in the Bay Area like the food, HMUA, DJ, and server staffing company, organized our wedding day schedule, held regular video calls with us, got quotes from vendors, kept track of our budget and payment schedule with weekly updates, arranged set-up of the ceremony and reception venue, made sure our vendors got day-of tips, and more! The only thing that could be improved is that there was a specific deadline for event liability insurance that I and the planning team all missed initially. No harm was done though! The mistake was caught in time before it affected the event, and all went well! Michelle and Raymundo excellently identified what our energy levels as a newlywed couple would be like in the week leading up to the big event, and the day of the actual wedding. Raymundo directed our impromptu ceremony rehearsal, helping our officiant and party mark their places and signaling where/when we should stand and walk. Michelle checked in with the bride and the groom consistently throughout the night of the reception, asking if we needed water, food, or other drinks since we were often distracted by the festivities. They maintained effective communication leading up to and on the day of the wedding. Their decorations at the ceremony and reception were absolutely gorgeous and exactly what we wanted. At the end of the night, they managed takedown, and made sure all of the personal decorative items and remembrance photos we brought were conveniently all in the same box for us to take home. Through the yearlong process of planning, they dealt with last-minute logistical changes with incredible poise, and truly grounded us, allowing us to enjoy the day with free minds. The team even accommodated two of our guests who tested positive for COVID last-minute by setting up a separate table for them in the outdoor venue. We couldn't recommend them more highly. Not to mention, their BobaHolics boba bar was a huge hit and the photo booth was a lot of fun. We got a lot of mileage out of the sustainable decor inventory, which prevented us from having tons of wedding stuff on hand that we'd accumulate and need to resell after. The entire range of services offered by Oso is incredibly helpful and will make any event an absolute hit. We have loved working with the team and we’re so grateful they decided to take us on as clients at the start of their wedding planning journey.

We worked with Yoko from Two Perfect Events, and her team was on top of it every step of the way. Yoko made sure to get to know us and took every step possible over the year we worked together to make sure that we were prepared for the big day. She was in touch with our vendors, and our families and made sure that everything ran as smoothly as possible. We never felt behind schedule or rushed because Yoko and team were so organized and on top of it. They really took care of us throughout the entire process. Something we appreciate is that they anticipated we'd need breaks during the day and scheduled those for us as well, they also made sure we were fed and hydrated throughout! Our families could not stop talking about how efficiently the entire day was managed. 11/10 want to plan another wedding just to hire them again.

Kaci Danae Events

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 the perfect day-of-coordinator and we highly, highly recommend her. She shepherded us through the month- and day-of calmly and confidently and made the wedding day run smoothly. About a month before, we met with her to discuss our priorities for our wedding, establish a timeline, and make sure we were on top of all the details. She came to this meeting very organized, and prompted us to think about things that weren't even on our radar - as an example, whether we wanted a grand entrance and what song we'd like for that. As we got closer to the wedding day, she took over communicating with our vendors and provided all of them with detailed itineraries and instructions. A few of our vendors told us that Kaci was one of the more organized coordinators they've worked with. She was very responsive if we had questions or wanted clarifications and was always open to more communication. On the day of, she was perfect - we felt totally at ease knowing that all of the vendors knew the plan and that Kaci would tell us where to be and when. She had a calming tone and checked in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed, and was instantly responsive if we needed anything or wanted to make last-minute changes. We were able to focus entirely on enjoying the party. We are so glad we chose Kaci!!

Orralyn did an incredible job helping us plan our wedding in Carmel by the Sea. She was organized, knowledgeable, fun, calm, went above and beyond and I can't imagine the day without her presence. My husband was groomzilla (meticulous about every tiny detail) and Orralyn made sure everything went perfectly I was completely calm and relaxed the day of the wedding because I had Orralyn taking care of every detail. If you're getting married, I would highly recommend her! People still tell us our wedding was one of the best they have ever been to. Thank you Orralyn!

Welcome and congratulations on your engagement! You’re here because you already have a good handle on the planning process and just need a calm, organized and fun person to ensure everything comes together seamlessly. That’s me! Hi, I’m Patricia. As a former Executive Assistant it was easy to transition to becoming a Wedding Coordinator. I traded managing CEOs and their schedules for managing couples and theirs! I’ve been in the wedding industry since 2006, starting with designing invitations and full planning to where I am now.

Honestly. Patricia was fabulous. As the Mother of the Bride, I watched her handle vendors, last minute surprises, and all of our guests with Grace and Professionalism. I never experienced any anxiety and knew that she had absolutely everything under control. My husband and I arrived before anyone else and watched as she seamlessly made sure that everything was done as planned. Her presence was barely noticeable except when needed and then she would almost magically appear anticipating the need. I am so impressed with her skills and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to my closest friends and family.

She is devoted to creating stress-free environments where ideas can flourish. Couples are sure to appreciate Leanne's talent for managing their big day.

Leanne meets her clients wherever they are in the planning stages, creating mood boards or finishing up the final details.

Leanne and her fabulous team were the perfect addition to the team of vendors I hired for my wedding earlier this year. While she saved my wife and I precious time and money throughout the planning process, I'd like to call attention to her secret super power - her profound ability to connect with my nieces and nephews. I have an autistic nephew that is extremely sensitive to sound and large crowds. He does not enjoy any sort of attention on him and typically retreats when he is too overwhelmed. Leanne someone conjured up some magic to got my nephew down the aisle successfully. (We have the most precious photo of him walking and my sister crying happy tears in the background that we will cherish forever.) While I was getting ready on my wedding day, I heard him run into the room looking for her so that he could share a picture he had drawn for her. When Leanne made it in to check on me and my Bridesmaids, he was overjoyed with emotions to see her. This is extremely out of the ordinary for him as he has a hard time connecting with strangers. Leanne go down on her knees to be eye level with him and even asked for his autograph! What a gem! Later in the evening, I caught her on the dance floor with him and she even brought him a cupcake because he was too nervous to approach the table on his own. We couldn't have been happier by hiring Leanne and have continued a connection, months after our wedding. Leanne is organized, pays attention to detail and is sympathetic and loving - a trait I didn't know I needed in a wedding planner. :) Love you forever Leanne! -Sam & Danielle

We are so so happy and blessed with how our wedding turned out. Linda was a big part of thinking through all of the ideas that my partner and I had. She also was very professional and skilled at dealing with some tense moments and negotiations with a venue that we had picked out before hiring Linda. At all moments, we felt very strongly that Linda was personally invested in making our wedding day special - from thinking through so many details ahead of time to making small adjustments to decorations and tables throughout the wedding.

I had a very unique style wedding and most of it I tried to do DIY. In a nutshell, it became extremely overwhelming for me, so I asked my planner Rebecca to assist. Her and the owner were so kind enough to make my original package of Day of Planning, to Full planning at a discount! Saved my whole wedding day. I cried a few days before my wedding because remembering all the months prior, they were there for me every step of the way. And on the day, everyone kept asking me, Is your planner a friend of yours? I honestly told them, 100% yes. :) Because I feel like we now are friends. Such a family orientated company. I highly recommend.

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.

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!

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. I would highly recommend hiring Blue Sierra Events to plan and coordinate your wedding day.

Hiring About Joy Events was, hands down, the best decision that I could have made for my wedding (other than the groom, of course). Working with Jackie was absolutely fantastic! Not only was she a professional in every sense of the word, she was also wonderfully fun and energetic. Jackie often said that she hoped to "spread joy" through her work: the joyfulness and love that Jackie brought with her transformed the entire planning process. Before I hired Jackie, I was behind schedule, stressed out, and overwhelmed. Jackie completely changed the game. She not only got things organized, she also worked directly with the vendors, was unbelievably flexible and generous in her time, and was so incredibly helpful in everything from brainstorming ideas (Jackie is INCREDIBLY creative and has so many beautiful ideas!) to addressing any problems that came up during the planning and during the event itself. She turned stress into excitement, and worry into joy every step of the way. Every time I got off the phone with Jackie, I felt inspired and optimistic. The team that she brought with her on the actual day of the wedding was wonderful: Cookie and Katie were kind, supportive, and all-around awesome. Jackie, I cannot thank you enough for everything that you did for me. I am so grateful to About Joy Events for making my wedding happen.

With a deep appreciation for design and a strong attention to detail, I specialize in crafting bespoke weddings that are as personal as they are stunning. My experience includes planning destination weddings in France, as well as serving couples across the U.S. and all over California. I believe in making the planning process as seamless and enjoyable as the big day itself, and I’m dedicated to bringing your dream wedding to life.

I cannot express how grateful I am to Cynthia and her team at Cabrera Peskin Weddings! From the very first meeting, Cynthia made me feel completely at ease. Planning a wedding can be so overwhelming, but she took the time to understand not just what I wanted my wedding to look like, but how I wanted to feel on the day. That personal touch made all the difference. Cynthia and Ruva were with me every step of the way, always available to answer questions and offer support. I remember being stressed about a last-minute change with one of my vendors, but Cynthia handled it so smoothly, I didn’t even have time to worry. It was like having a friend by my side who genuinely cared about making sure my day was perfect. On the day of the wedding, I felt completely calm knowing their team had everything under control. From the breathtaking décor to the way they coordinated all the little details, I was able to just be in the moment and enjoy every second. My guests are still talking about how beautiful everything was and how seamless the whole day felt.

I have always been the go-to friend when you need help hosting a party, always the bridesmaid with a clipboard. After leaving my job as an executive assistant, I decided to turn my passion for organizing events into a reality and created Nomad Nixon. I'm an Enneagram 2 with an even 1-3 wing, loosely translated to "I'm a perfectionist that feels most successful by helping others." Quality time is my love language. I love getting to know each couple and embracing their unique love story.

Kendra absolutely rocked our wedding. Her ability to stay calm during all the ups & downs and changed minds about wedding planning was key to helping us stay on track throughout our two year wedding planning journey. She was there for us at the start and was able to guide us back to our initial goals of having a kickass San Francisco wedding. She organized our park ceremony seamlessly and had an assistant setting up at the restaurant where we had our reception while we bopped around the city on a double decker trolley (shout out Nationwide Limo), showing our guests the best of the city. If you are looking for a cool, calm & collected wedding coordinator to keep you on track with your wedding dreams, hire Kendra. She's the best!!

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.
