Casey’s Curated Events made planning our destination wedding an absolute breeze. Casey was there every step of the way with incredible energy, organization, communication and above all dedication. From the beginning, Casey took the time to truly understand my vision and explained the planning process in a clear, easy to understand way which was especially helpful while planning a destination wedding on a short five month timeline. I felt supported and informed throughout the entire process. I gave Casey full creative freedom with our invitations, and she completely delivered! Her creativity and attention to detail set the tone for our wedding from the start. She was also incredibly responsive, making herself available via email, text, and phone, and handled communication between the travel agency, resort coordinator, and vendors seamlessly. As the wedding approached and decisions felt overwhelming, Casey always reassured me and helped narrow down options, making everything feel manageable. From creating a comprehensive packing list (down to things like bobby pins!) to personally making sure we didn’t have to worry about the little details, Casey thought of everything. When we arrived at the resort, she took the time to walk the property with us — showing us the ceremony and reception spaces, photo locations, rehearsal and helping us visualize the full experience. She also joined us in meeting the on-site coordinator and ensured everyone was aligned. Her ability to advocate for us, ask the right questions, and clarify details made such a difference, especially since most communication with the resort had taken place via email. On our wedding day, Casey was truly amazing. She coordinated everything behind the scenes, kept everyone on schedule, and solved problems before we even knew they existed. Her calm presence, care, and positive energy allowed me to fully enjoy every moment of our wedding. Thank you, Casey, for going above and beyond. Having you as our wedding planner was truly a blessing.

Hi, I’m Breahna — owner and lead coordinator at Bowen Weddings! 💕 My love for weddings began with helping friends and family bring their dream days to life, and I quickly knew it was my calling. I believe every couple deserves a wedding where they can be fully present, not stressed about timelines or vendors. Whether it’s a grand celebration or an intimate micro wedding, I’m your calm in the chaos — guiding you through details, keeping things on track, and making your vision a reality. ✨

Having Breahna as our day of wedding coordinator was truly one of the greatest gifts of our entire wedding experience. She handled our big day with a level of professionalism, grace, and attention to detail that blew us away. From the moment the day began, she was two steps ahead managing vendors, checking timelines, handling last-minute changes without breaking a sweat, and doing it all with a calm, confident presence that made everyone around her feel at ease. Her ability to quietly take charge while keeping things relaxed allowed me to be fully present and enjoy every moment without stress. What made it even more special is knowing how deeply she cared not just about the logistics, but about us. That love and dedication showed in everything she did, from fluffing my dress before I walked down the aisle to making sure the reception flowed seamlessly. Breahna, thank you for making our wedding day not only smooth and beautiful, but unforgettable. You made magic happen behind the scenes, and we are endlessly grateful. If you’re lucky enough to have Breahna coordinate your wedding know that you are in the best hands imaginable!

  • Serves Merced, CA

Hi, I’m Morgan! Thank you so much for being here. I am the Owner and Lead Planner of MBK Events. Let’s get straight to it - I freaking love love and I love planning. I swear, celebrating love, planning events, and getting to meet new people is my specialty. While planning my own wedding, I realized that so many Brides are not enjoying the process - so, that's where I plan to step in! I officially launched my business in October of 2021 so I can help other brides execute, plan, style and enjoy the wedding planning process. It is the most magical time of your life so lets make sure it feels magical all the way to the big day!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you've started "shopping" for wedding vendors then you know it's something like a whirlwind of first dates and social media stalking. Our impressions of Morgan were positive from the start, with her standout Instagram page featuring an abundance of beautifully styled events, and a woman with a glowing smile going above and beyond for her clients. During our first meeting with Morgan, her bubbly energy and confidence left us with a gut feeling that she was the right person to guide us on this planning journey. She did not disappoint!!! Our monthly check-ins leading up to the big day were always intentional conversations, guided by encouragement, honesty and undeniable experience. That saying "you don't know what you don't know" seriously rang true. Even being a type A bride, doing research beforehand, creating my own spreadhseets, etc. I found myself appreciating, again and again, the ways that Morgan filled in the gaps. She anticipated all the things--the things we hadn't thought of--and had a solid recommendation and plan of action every step of the way. She was intentional, organized, communicative and a superstar liason in our meetings with other potential vendors too. She's the friend we didn't know we needed in the room helping us make the big decisions. The more we worked with Morgan the more grateful we were to have her on the team! Our wedding day was blissful and we have Morgan to thank for that. To put into words all of the ways she showed up for us, protected our peace and added joy to our day, would make for a super lengthy word count here. What we hope to express is that her thoughtful attention to details, take-care-of-business mindset and passion for what she does all came together to turn our dreams into reality. If you're looking for someone who will have your back 1,000%, give you their all with a baby in one hand (literally so happily giving one of our guests a break during the reception) and your lipgloss touch up in the other, and who will exceed all of your expectations, Morgan is your girl.

I’m Ashley, the owner of Rose Event Co. I love being able to share in the love of two individuals and feel lucky to get to work with such wonderful people each day! I’ve been planning weddings and events for over eight years now, and I couldn’t be more thankful with where I am now in my business. I primarily serve the OR | WA | CA markets, but will travel anywhere!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Ashley at Rose Event Co as our Day of Wedding Coordinator was definitely one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. I thought I was going to be able to manage planning our entire wedding myself, but as the day crept closer and closer, I realized that I was definitely going to need a hand. We spoke with a dozen different coordinators, and Ashley just stood out SO strongly amongst the rest. To put it as simply as possible, she saw our vision, she understood it, she stood in and shared in it with us. She knew exactly how to support us in making it happen, and she was easily able to make us feel that. We initially had concerns about her being located so far away from us (we're in Oakland, CA), but she put those concerns to rest so quickly! Throughout my months of planning after hiring Ashley, she was always there to answer my questions, and provide support and reassurance in all of the little things that I just wasn't sure how to handle myself, and she did so with such grace, patience, and an air of calm that was so extremely helpful and reassuring. When the month of our wedding arrived, Ashley quickly got to work on communicating with and organizing all of our vendors and laying out the structure for the day. She traveled to Monte Rio to be with us the day before our big day, walked us through the ceremony, went over all of the details, and left us so confident and comfortable in her extremely capable hands. The day of the wedding, Ashley handled EVERYTHING and EVERYONE with such care and tranquility. All of our wedding vendors absolutely loved her, and we never stopped hearing about how great she was to work with! Ashley is an absolute BOSS in all of the best ways that you can imagine! She is supportive, encouraging, communicative, active, helpful, caring, the list just goes on and on. She wants you to succeed, and you can FEEL it. She remembered and double checked on all of the little details, before, during, and after our wedding, and words simply cannot express our gratitude. She did so many things automatically, that I hadn't even thought to discuss with her, but was so grateful that we had her there to do. Thank you Ashley!! She did so many little things that I didn't even realize until I started looking through all of our photos, and noticed that they had all been done. On top of all of that, she basically packed up the entirety of our decor with the assistance of her extremely helpful husband, which was such a huge relief for us and for our wedding party who had put so much into the day. We were all able to completely disconnect and just enjoy the evening, which was so unbelievably priceless. There are so many things that make Ashley stand out from other coordinators. So many coordinators that we had talked to before Ashley had a big list of things that they would NOT do, but not Ashley. She was willing to do whatever needed to be done to ensure that our wedding day went perfectly, and it did, thanks to her!! HUGE bonus, she brought along her Super 8 camera, and we CANNOT WAIT to see the footage!! If you're looking for someone who has your back, and can handle ALL of the things with a level of calm that oozes into everyone around her, HIRE ASHLEY! You absolutely will not regret it. Thank you so much Ashley, for EVERYTHING that you did, and for ALL of your help in making our wedding day so unbelievably perfect!!

I had the pleasure of working with Natasha Cougoule of Parker & Paloma Events as the pianist for Aydin and Rachel’s intimate wedding on January 24, 2026, at their family home in Hillsborough. I’ve done many weddings, and hands down, Natasha made this one of the easiest and most enjoyable vendor experiences I’ve had. She first sent me a lead through GigSalad, then followed up warmly through email after the couple loved my repertoire, CC’d them right away, and asked what I needed to do my best— that’s already a great sign. From there, her communication was clear, kind, and consistent. She set up one main thread for all vendors, introduced herself as the single point of contact to protect the couple’s time, and added everyone to AislePlanner for easy access to timelines, layouts, and updates. She handled logistics thoughtfully: shared detailed PDFs with floor plans and piano placement early, flagged the switch to fully indoor (and the ceremony-to-reception flip), gave advance notice about playing gently since the piano was in the ceremony room, promised to cue music changes, and noted the wheelchair guest so we could all be prepared (family ramps were already in place- nice touch!). On the booking side, when the schedule ended up longer than the original GigSalad quote, she quickly checked with the couple, confirmed they were happy with an adjusted rate, and smoothly moved us off the platform to skip fees. She confirmed the deposit promptly, tested a small Venmo transfer first, and kept everything transparent and fair. Throughout, her emails stayed positive and collaborative—“I’m so excited,” “can’t wait to see your incredible work,” “hope you’re having a lovely day.” She asked for vendor preferences (meals, contact info, hours), sent final timelines with specific processional requests well in advance, and always invited feedback or questions. The day flowed beautifully because of her planning. Cues were perfect, the couple was relaxed, and everything felt effortless from my side. If you want a planner who’s organized, genuinely kind, proactive, and excellent at keeping vendors and clients happy, Natasha is outstanding. I’ve already recommended her to others and would love to work with her again. Highly recommend Park & Paloma Events and I’d say her work deserves 5 stars. Thank you, Natasha!

Kalyna was an absolute lifesaver for our wedding! From start to finish, she handled everything with professionalism, creativity, and incredible attention to detail. She helped us find the perfect vendors—our photographer, event décor, catering—and even went above and beyond by creating our florals (not even part of her package, but she’s just that talented!). Our wedding day had its challenges, especially with our almost one-year-old in tow, but Kalyna made it all run seamlessly. With a headset on, she coordinated effortlessly with our event staff, bartenders, DJ, and officiant, ensuring every moment was flawless. She came fully prepared with a troubleshooting kit—extension cords, a sewing kit, safety pins—anything we could have possibly needed, she had it covered. Our 150-person DIY backyard wedding in Calistoga was a massive undertaking, but Kalyna made it feel effortless. While she is a luxury investment, she is worth every penny and more—because she truly does it all. If you want a stress-free, perfectly executed wedding, Kalyna is the one to hire!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but my wife and I actually looked forward to our planning meetings. She listened to our vision, offered creative solutions, and anticipated needs we didn't even know we had. When unexpected rain threatened to dampen our spirits, she stepped in with backup venues, alternative photo locations, and solutions that kept our celebration running smoothly. Our guests had an absolute blast, completely unaware of the behind-the-scenes magic she was working. To any couple planning their wedding, I cannot recommend Sanjam highly enough. She doesn't just plan weddings – she creates experiences, manages emotions, and turns potential stress into pure joy.

My florals were my absolute favorite décor element from my entire wedding. They made me so happy because they were absolutely perfect, and I credit that entirely to Amanda’s dedication and collaboration with Emporio, the preferred floral vendor at Hard Rock Los Cabos. Florals were the wedding detail I cared about the most, and they also caused me the most worry. They hold such a special place in my heart because I believe they truly accentuate the beauty of a wedding. From the moment Amanda stepped in, she eased all my anxieties. She was dedicated, focused, and meticulous in her attention to detail. She was assertive in communicating my needs to the vendor, efficient in coordinating every step, proactive in addressing potential challenges, and direct in making sure my vision was honored exactly as I imagined. Her strong and trusted relationship with Emporio made all the difference. They clearly respect and value her, which ensured flawless execution and also saved me thousands of dollars. That kind of value comes from her experience, credibility, and deep commitment to her clients. Because of Amanda, my my most treasured design element was in the very best hands. If you have the opportunity to work with her, I recommend it wholeheartedly. She is worth every penny and more.

I’m Lyuba, a Northern California wedding planner specializing in thoughtful, well-organized weddings. I work with couples who value a seamless planning process and want their wedding day to feel calm, intentional, and beautifully executed. My approach is rooted in organization, clear communication, and attention to detail. From guiding couples through the planning process to managing timelines, vendors, and logistics, I ensure everything is aligned long before the wedding day so my couples can be fully present and enjoy every moment.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Lyuba from Coordinated by Love for a wedding this past weekend, and she was absolutely wonderful to collaborate with. She was attentive to her couple, handled the day’s dynamics with grace, and stayed calm and friendly through every change and unexpected moment. Her organization and positive energy made the entire day run seamlessly — a true professional who genuinely cares about her clients and their experience. I’d happily work with her again!

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.

At ImPerfect Events, we believe the most meaningful celebrations are human and emotion-driven — which means they’re often a little messy, sometimes unpredictable, and never truly “perfect.” Those moments are usually where the joy lives, and what make a day feel unique and real. We were founded on the belief that weddings and events should be about love and community. They should feel warm, welcoming, and joyful — and we believe that same ease can exist in the planning process, too. In an overwhelming world, our goal is to create a planning experience that brings clarity, organization, and calm without losing heart.

We absolutely loved working with Sydney! She was amazing from start to finish, so sweet, incredibly professional, and truly a calming presence. If there were any hiccups, she let us know in such a thoughtful, reassuring way that we never felt stressed for a second. Her overall help, organization, and professionalism made our wedding day run perfectly. We couldn’t imagine having anyone better by our side. Highly recommend!

Our wedding coordinators were absolutely AMAZING! From the very beginning, Taylor and her husband went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. They worked so seamlessly together — calm, organized, and always one step ahead. The entire day ran smoothly thanks to them, and we were able to fully relax and enjoy every moment knowing everything was in great hands. They took care of every little thing, big and small, with so much care and professionalism. We truly could not have asked for a better team. If you’re planning a wedding, you need these two in your corner!

Ivory Noir was an exceptional wedding planning team to work with. From the beginning, their communication style was clear, direct, and enthusiastic. They were incredibly detail-oriented, organized, and helpful throughout the entire planning process. Dee, our main point of contact, was instrumental in ensuring our wedding ceremony was seamless. She coordinated with all of our vendors and set up the ceremony space exactly as we had envisioned, and was consistently patient and responsive, always putting our needs and interests first. Dee also asked thoughtful questions that helped us consider important details we may have overlooked. We are so grateful for Ivory Noir's exceptional service and would highly recommend them to any couple planning their dream wedding.
