We had Brooke S. in Phoenix as our coordinator and we are floored with how she transformed our ideas into real life. She was incredible, so on top of each vendor communication and weekly meetings. She went above and beyond what we imagined and we couldn’t have done half of it without her expertise. The most professional person that could have organized our wedding day. Thank you so much. She also had Tatum, a day-of junior coordinator who worked so well alongside her to make it all happen. This duo was the absolute best and I recommend anyone in Phoenix to snag these two if they have the chance.

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.

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.

Orralyn has a remarkable ability to understand and capture your vision, making sure every aspect of the day reflects your unique style and preferences.

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.

Margaret did a wonderful job at making sure she checked all of our boxes, and was always on top of all the tiny details that we hadn’t thought of. Everything went off without a hitch on the day of our wedding, and both her and her team’s presence made me feel 100% relaxed so that I was ready to walk down the aisle with confidence.

Owner Leanne prides herself on expertly helping couples navigate the planning process, finding their dream vendors, and tying together the essential details.

She offers day-of coordination, partial, and full-service planning packages. Leanne meets her clients wherever they are in the planning stages, creating mood boards or finishing up the final details.

Had the best experience with Leanne! I had it in my head that I didn’t need a wedding coordinator because I’m super organized and actually enjoy the planning. 3 months before my wedding, I realized that not having a day of coordinator meant that I would spend my wedding day and days before coordinating rental deliveries and all the other vendors. Luckily I found Leanne and from my first conversation with her, I felt so relieved and excited to enjoy my big day and not stress. The day before my wedding, she even came to my house to help me put together our wedding favors. By the day of the wedding, I felt so comfortable having her think for me on my wedding day, I got to enjoy every second of the fastest day of my life. She managed every vendor, every rental, unruly family members and made our day perfect. She even returned a few of our rentals and helped our families load up flowers etc at the end of the night. My wedding would not have been as magical without Leanne. I’m so grateful to her. And could not recommend her more.

From start to finish, our experience with Fresh Capsule Vibes was nothing short of amazing! Right from the initial inquiry after an ISO post on Facebook, the response time was incredibly fast, and Jesse made us feel at ease with every step of the process. They were professional, approachable, and genuinely excited to be part of our special day. On the wedding day itself, Jesse and her team were a joy to work with. They kept a positive and calm energy throughout the entire day, which made us feel relaxed and confident. They were also incredibly organized, making sure we stayed on schedule for all the important moments while still capturing everything we wanted — and more!

We LOVED working with Brittany. We had monthly meetings with her for over a year, from the venue search phase to the handoff to our month-of coordinator, and she was so helpful. She helped us with the searches for everything—venue, DJ, photography, day-of coordination, flowers, catering—and provided us timelines and organization tools that were genuinely invaluable. We had very little idea going in exactly what was needed to plan a wedding, but Brittany’s collaboration made us feel very on top of things. She also worked with us to troubleshoot things when issues arose (like our flower provider not following some of our communication requests). And an added bonus is that she’s fun to hang out with lol—we really enjoyed our monthly meetings!! Would absolutely recommend the Venlist (and Brittany specifically)!

Awarded Best of Zola
Julia was our day-of coordinator and she is someone you can rely on and know that she and her team will have your back. There are a lot of wins from our wedding that we know couldn’t have happened without Julia and her team. 1. Perfect set up and break down: For our wedding, we had a lot of detailed DIY set ups and fragile arrangements which Julia and her team were able to oversee, set up, and break down for us which was incredibly important to us – we didn’t break or lose one of our items, and finished all within our allotted hour time frame. From DIY centerpiece florals, to DIY acrylic everything – to our own slideshow and long bar set ups – it was exactly to our vision. 2. Above and beyond with our fur-children: You can count on Julia to also take on all sorts of requests for your big day. We had our 5 dogs in the ceremony which was a critical part for us and her team was able to make that happen despite the extra logistical lifts and practice. 3. Timing: the dress rehearsal Julia led was incredibly helpful to the wedding party and officiant that it set us up for success that on the actual wedding, we started ON TIME and had buffer time for any set backs or emergencies. She was also great at guiding our guests in a swift manner to the ceremony and then the reception room despite the open bar 4. Fun: Although we hired Julia and her team for only the day-of, we felt like when they were with our families, wedding party, and guests, that they were part of our group – they were friendly, social, polite, and incredibly professional. We needed Julia and her team on the day of our wedding, we just didn’t realize and appreciate it even more so until the day-of. Thank you Julia and Kim for everything in prep and on the day of our special day. We’re grateful to have you had on our side to make the wedding of our dreams come to life.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We really wanted a meaningful ceremony that felt true to us, was deeply ritualistic and connected to nature, and yet not religious or too gendered/ traditional. Further, our officiant is originally not from the United States, and wedding culture is quite different in her home country- we wanted to best support her to confidently create and deliver a ceremony that would seal our marriage. Mischa walked us through every step with kindness and patience, offering great ideas but mostly, prompting us with ideas, structure, and thoughtful questions to encourage us to think outside the box to create a meaningful ceremony. The result was a ceremony that many people said was one of their favorite parts of the day- and for us, too! We will never forget how sacred that moment felt, and guests came up to us after and told us they had never seen a ceremony like it- that it was unique to us, exactly what we wanted! Mischa also helped us set up the day of and has a great eye- was able to execute our vision with elegance!

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.
