We worked with Mischa to co-create our wedding this September 2023. She understood our vision and supported us in making an unforgettable day. She respected our needs while adding her creative spark to help us vision what we wanted for this day. She not only provided tirelessness, competence, and finesse on the day (allowing us to take a step back and just enjoy and cherish our time with family and friends) but provided emotional and creative support in the months leading up to our day and in the debrief after. She is so skilled at what she does - all the caterers, photographers, and guests raved about her. There were moments at the event where it felt like she read our minds and made magic happen (coordinating with the band to serenade us, setting out dessert). It unexpectedly rained and she knew exactly how to 'make it work'! I highly recommend connecting with Mischa / Midnight Picnic to co-create your unforgettable day.

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.

We couldn’t believe how much she did for us over 1.5 years of planning our wedding - from vendor sourcing to coordination, logistics, timelines, design boards, being a sounding board, day of execution to perfection - The list goes on and on and on. She is delightful. Please look no further if you are looking for someone who will make you feel at ease and like you’ve gained a trusted friend in the end. We loved working with her!

I cannot thank the Oso Team enough for making our wedding a dream come true. From the beginning, Michelle and Raymundo were so helpful, especially when my husband and I had no idea where to start or how to budget for anything. They were incredibly supportive throughout the vendor hiring process and decision making. Michelle truly went above and beyond when it came to the creative side of wedding planning, she helped me pick out things to match the vibe I was going for, and even helped me design and bring some DIYs to life. We always felt taken care of when it came to Oso. On the day of, there were plenty of things I could have stressed out about, but Oso simply would not let me. The team constantly checked in on my husband and me throughout the night to see if we wanted ANYTHING. They brought us drinks, consulted with us to solve issues before they even came up, and overall, just really made it the best night of our lives. What a way it was to start off this new chapter of our lives, and we just have to emphasize, hiring them was the best decision we could have made for our wedding!

I hired Clemence to help with the coordination of my son and daughters-in-law wedding. I hired her for the day of and then quickly switched to full service after getting to know her. The wedding was a destination wedding and was very hard and stressful for us to plan and keep track of every detail. Clemence was so supportive and helpful every step of the way without being too opinionated or pushy. She had our back and saved us time and money. The day of the wedding she not only was attentive to the bride and groom, but she also took such good care of our family and guests. She is so professional, fun and has a big heart!

What can I say. I was always told weddings were stressful, expensive, and I’d regret not spending the money on something else. I believe without Kari, this might have been the case. My wedding was more beautiful than I could have imagined. Absolutely seamlessly executed!!! I don’t regret a cent of it because it exceeded every expectation!! I had two friends get married the same year I did. They saw how little stress I had, while they each opted to go at it alone and ran around like crazy. Both regretted not hiring a planner. BUT, I didn’t have just any planner though…I had Kari!!!

Faye Fern Creative

5.0

Los Angeles, CA
  • Offers 6 services
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Big Sur, CA

Faye Fern Creative is a luxury Design + Planning house based in LA and NYC. We are experience curators who specialize in high touch, understated and effortlessly distinctive weddings. With more than 40 years of collective industry experience between us, we have earned a reputation for architecting extraordinary events built upon a foundation of bespoke service. We focus on quality over quantity, taking on only a select number of mutually aligned clients each year. This allows us to protect our creative integrity, and deliver the caliber of design and production our couples truly deserve.

To say that Faye Fern Creative exceeded all our wildest dreams is to put it lightly. Our wedding was a work of art thanks to Natalie Faye Fern, who is not only a creative mastermind but also an extraordinary person: intelligent, resourceful, kind, and a joy to be around. She works harder than anyone and goes above and beyond to make your vision come alive. Yet on our wedding weekend, she and her whole team made everything look totally effortless!! They were the picture of calm and brought the most warm and positive energy that our guests just fed off. Everything was so, so well coordinated and we felt we could just trust the Faye Fern team to do their job. They also gave us invaluable advice before the wedding which we followed and it helped to keep us very organized on our end. The decor took our breath away. We aren't design experts and just had a general idea of what we liked. Also owing to our busy schedules which left us little time to participate in the design process, we let Natalie run freely with the concepts she came up with and would tell any other couple to do the same! You won't regret it! I might be something of a designer's nightmare: a bride who doesn't always know what she wants and doesn't have time to plan anything but has high standards about whatever it is. I secretly feared that my wedding would never live up to what I hoped but when we stepped into our ceremony and reception, our jaws were on the floor the whole time. We could not believe this was our wedding because ohhhh my godd. It's like Natalie knew exactly what we wanted without us even knowing it ourselves. The fact that she designed and planned this for us while based in a different city the whole time makes it all the more impressive to me. Last of all, I want to add how grateful I am that Natalie always made sure that both my husband and I felt equally included in decisions. Many vendors treat the bride as if she is the only one whose opinion matters and while maybe this is traditional in the industry, I could tell that he felt left out sometimes. So I want to thank Natalie for always treating it like it was OUR wedding and not just mine because it meant a lot to my husband.

We worked with Sandra for almost 2 years planning our wedding. When we started, we had a strong idea of what we wanted for our wedding but a really hard time finding the right venue in California. Hiring Sandra was one of the best decisions in our wedding planning process we could have made. She found 25 venue options for us and scheduled in person site visits. Without her, we would not have found the perfect venue for our vision. Our favorite part of hiring Sandra was that it never felt like work planning our wedding. It was as fun as we wanted it to be. Anything that we didn’t have time to handle we knew we could trust Sandra to help us with. Although we had an unconventional wedding in mind, we loved her enthusiasm and energy when we brought up new ideas. She always worked with us to make it happen. We would 10 out of 10 recommend Sandra for a wedding planner!

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.

We are dedicated to the highest quality of service, innovation, and attention to detail. Our mission is to orchestrate guest experiences to flow seamlessly like a work of art. We merge thoughtful design with high standards for guest services. We also own The AIM Collection: A boutique specialty rental company.

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!

Embark Event Design is a boutique luxury wedding planning company, crafting intentional and well executed events on the Central Coast of California. Sarah and her team strive to bring authenticity to your wedding in a way that you and your guests will never forget. Couples are guided every step of the way throughout the planning and design process. While no details are left unturned, Embark Event Design is able to seamlessly execute impeccable events and help create unique moments that will last a lifetime.

I had the pleasure of working with Embark Event Design for our wedding, and I cannot express how thrilled we were with the incredible job they did. From start to finish, Sarah went above and beyond to make our special day truly magical. Planning a wedding for 190 people with multiple spread-out locations within the venue was no small feat, but Sarah handled it with grace and professionalism. She expertly coordinated every aspect of the event, ensuring that every detail was executed flawlessly. Sarah also planned our welcome party, which also included 190 guests, and turned a Lakeside Dock into a magnificent rodeo / hoe-down location that guests were talking about for days! The result was a wedding that was nothing short of luxury and gorgeousness, exceeding our wildest dreams. The decor, the floral arrangements, and the overall ambiance were simply breathtaking. Sarah executed on our ideas and requests to create a wedding design that transformed the venue into a fairy tale setting. What truly set Sarah apart, though, was her ability to handle difficulties with ease. There were moments when unexpected challenges arose, such as difficult access to certain locations within the venue that limited transportation options. However, Sarah remained calm and composed, swiftly coming up with solutions that ensured the event continued seamlessly. Her problem-solving skills were truly remarkable, and it allowed us to relax and enjoy our day without any worries. Additionally, Sarah demonstrated remarkable people skills. She interacted effortlessly with our family members, some of whom posed challenges during the planning process, making everyone feel welcome and valued. Her ability to navigate interpersonal dynamics ensured that the atmosphere was harmonious and stress-free throughout the day. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sarah and her team to anyone planning a large wedding. If you're looking to create a chic, elegant event with beautiful touches and a fun vibe, they are the perfect choice. Their dedication, creativity, and exceptional organizational skills will turn your wedding dreams into a reality. Thank you, Embark Event Design, for making our wedding day the best day of our lives!

...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." Everyone needs that person who will support them, hype them up, keep them on track, and be your advocate. In life, that person is likely your partner.

We are high end Wedding professionals who value curating one of kind event experiences that reflect our couples love. InGobo Events' home base is in Southern California and our connections reach all over the nation and abroad.

If you’re undecided about hiring a wedding planner, DO IT. If you don’t know if you need one, that means YOU DO. Furthermore, I highly recommend you book Christina with Ingobgo events. I met her at the Los Angeles Wedding Expo on Sept 24th, 2023. She was the only planner I spoke to at the expo that really took time to explain what a wedding process is like. I know that might sound silly but I felt pretty clueless and the extra energy she gave was very appreciated. At these expos there are hundreds of people filtering through and I felt like she was really passionate about her craft. In less than 2 weeks my then fiancé and I met with her in person and happily signed our contract with 134 days until it was time to say “I do.” Reasons why I loved working with her on my wedding: - She made decisions when I didn’t want to. I never grew up envisioning a wedding so I was pretty clueless for well, most things. I didn’t have a vision for flowers for instance. She crafted a proposal for my flower vision based on elements like favorite color, bridesmaid dresses etc. She literally would put things together and “say tell me if you love it, hate it, or any other feelings you have.” This helped me feel more comfortable to be authentic and honest along the wedding journey. - She negotiated rates for things I wouldn’t have fathomed as negotiable - She gave honest feedback to vendors and had tough conversations I didn’t have the energy for - She joined planning calls we had with our vendors (videographer/DJ) and managed vendor calls that weren’t necessary for us to be on (flowers, furniture) - She met with us in person more times than we anticipated which was great given that we were planning a wedding in 4 months. Meeting in person often isn’t necessary but when you’re moving quickly in a short period of time sometimes the humanizing measures really make the biggest difference like they did here. - She kept us on track with budget and payments. - She uses an app for organizing, designing and tracking your wedding. If you love google docs then you’ll love this process. I’m more of an excel gal and don’t use apps too often but I definitely appreciated the organization of the this! - She has a day of assistant Katie who was funny, and extremely helpful to all members of the wedding party. By the end of the 4 months my partner and I would commonly refer to Christina as our “wedding mom.” I feel sad that the wedding journey has come to an end but I am so happy with how everything transpired. My husband and I had an amazing time, and thanks to Christina we felt our evening was flawless (even though I forgot to bring my husbands bow tie so she had her assistant go get us one at the last hour!) I could keep going but I know this kudos is super long already. My final comment is that no one should have to go thru this process without a “wedding mom.” We will forever be grateful to Christina and all the support and TLC she gave us for our special day.

In the 10 months leading up to the wedding, my fiancé and I never argued about wedding planning thanks to Isabel and her team.

Awarded Best of Zola
One of my biggest regrets with my wedding was not hiring Tatiana sooner! My wedding day was absolutely perfect thanks to Vine Branch. You could not find a better person to help you with your wedding than Tatiana. Whatever you do, your first step after being engaged should be to hire her and not look back. Don’t learn your lesson and regret it like I did! This will be the single best decision you make. Tatiana is made for this role. Her attention to detail, her personality, her organization, her commitment to her people and making them happy and their lives easier. When I got engaged, I contacted Tatiana. She helped me with venue suggestions, logistics, everything - emails, phone calls, texts, you name it. Our budget was small, and at the end of the day, we decided not to hire her. A HUGE mistake. (Taking this second to add, even when we decided not to hire her, Tatiana was the most gracious and still offered to help in any way she could). I am type A, I am an attorney. How hard can this be? My goodness how wrong I was! I struggled coordinating everything and that is an understatement. I read books, I read blogs, I reached out to hundreds of vendors. All while pulling my hair out, not sleeping, and hating the planning process rather than looking forward to my wedding. Fast forward one year to the day before my wedding. I got a text from my rental place - your rentals are in the truck on their way to your venue! Oh no.I had booked my rentals for the wrong YEAR. That night, after lots of crying, I called Tatiana and begged her to let me hire her. I was so nervous, head in my hands, and I needn’t have been - no one is more kind and gracious and understanding and just plain wanting to help.I From that year onward, life was so much easier and less stressful. I had someone in my corner, who I trusted wholeheartedly, helping me every step of the way. She constantly assured me no question was too stupid, no text too needy - and thank goodness. I knew nothing about wedding planning. So many details I had not even thought about - like without Tatiana, I would have forgotten that I needed transportation to my own wedding. She was there for countless questions, from what things can I cut to save money, to how many candles do I need, to which of these invitations looks best after I’ve gone back and forth 100 times. Tatiana is a friend, a comforting presence, a sounding board for all your ideas and a super knowledgeable older sister to walk you through it all. On top of that she is a true professional who knows every single detail of your wedding inside and out. The month before, as I was stressing out more than before, Tatiana was the one confirming everything with the vendors, making sure my rental would be delivered on the right day this time, my florals would be perfect, my photographer and dj knew the timelines she’d created, everything. So much taken off my plate so I could worry about the things I actually needed to worry about. Every single vendor told me that she was incredible, so organized, so knowledgeable, so nice - how lucky I was to have her as my planner. Vine Branch is responsible for my wedding going off without a hitch. I could focus on getting ready and calming my nerves, knowing that her team was getting the ceremony and reception locations set up and making everything perfect behind the scenes. I am a super anxious person, and having someone by my side every step of the way was worth every single penny and then some.

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.

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.

Ashley has been professional and transparent from day one. She made it clear what her day of services included and she was available for support throughout the time leading to my wedding day. She talked with me an hour and a half the day prior and walked through every detail and step of the wedding to ensure nothing was missed!! Highly recommend her as a day of or full wedding planner.

Mailee was so amazing to work with! She helped take away stress during the planning process of my wedding. She had so many tips and suggestions to make my day absolutely perfect. When it came to the rehearsal dinner she even took time to come and walk through the rehearsal with my wedding party. The day of the wedding she was absolutely amazing! She set up everything exactly the way I wanted it. She also made a grazing table for cocktail hour that I have heard was so yummy from all of the guests. Overall I could not have asked for a better wedding planner. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Awarded Best of Zola
Congratulations! You’ve just found the best coordinator ever! My husband and I knew we wanted a “day of coordinator” (so we thought it was called) but did not know exactly how much to prioritize or what to ask for. And then we pretty much stumbled upon Emily after posting in a local facebook group about needing a coordinator and we are so grateful we did. We’ve actually joked to one another that our only wedding regret is not having hired Emily to plan the whole thing. Emily is professional, personable, and an incredible problem-solver. Emily does coordination, which means she actually jumps on board a couple months in advance to get you organized and get all of the vendors together. However, it would be a mistake to say she only gets involved at that point—from the moment we chose Emily, she checked in consistently, asked how she could help, and gave us leads as we navigated picking vendors. When we hit the 8 week mark before the wedding, Emily began initiating more meetings and gathering all of the information she needed. We did a venue walk through and a meeting dedicated to decor. This is all to say—Emily has got your back. Additionally, she is always working behind the scenes to make sure everyone is on the same page. Leading up to the wedding, we had been very organized, but of course, in the week or so before the wedding, it felt like total chaos. We added people to our hair/makeup schedule. We had to add a last-minute vendor that totally changed the flow of our set-up. Suddenly three days before the wedding, the forecast called for rain. Emily took this all in stride. She reassured us that our feelings about anything were valid and then promised she would figure out whatever we wanted to have happen. She always had multiple solution-options for every moment of chaos we felt. And then once we had decided what we wanted, she made it happen! On the day of the wedding, I was completely worry-free because I knew Emily had everything under control. Apparently a few things went wrong that neither my husband nor I knew about until later because Emily just handled it (she did check in about one thing that had been important to us, but when she asked about it, she came with multiple solution options for me to pick from). She also goes above and beyond to make anything right if there is a need to do so (all wedding have things go wrong!). All-in-all, you want a coordinator who is on top of things, but you also want one that you want to spend your day with and Emily strikes that balance perfectly. We were actually sad when our wedding ended and we realized we wouldn’t be chatting with her as regularly!

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!

Weddings with Angie is a full service event planning and coordination company in beautiful Santa Barbara County and all along the central coast. With over 18 years of experience in the event industry, let me help you create, plan and coordinate the wedding or event of your dreams!

Angie is simply amazing. My fiancée and I contacted many wedding coordinators to inquire about their services, but no one was as detailed, organized, and friendly as Angie. From our very first contact with Angie we knew we had made the right choice and would be in good hands. Although we hired Angie as a coordinator to tie up the loose end and coordinate the day of the wedding, she kept in constant communication since our first contact to understand our vision and help us plan our wedding. She truly went above and beyond to make sure our planning and wedding day went smoothly. My wife and I have a lot of experience planning events so we wanted to do the majority of the planning ourselves, but we had no idea how much work would go into planning a wedding. From our first email with Angie she clearly laid out her services, planning timeline, and also proactively provided information about our wedding venue (Hotel Californian) and all that would go into having our wedding there. To our surprise Angie already knew the staff at the Venue and also knew the ins and outs of planning a wedding there. She helped us plan the wedding down to the very small details. Angie is very knowledgeable and has great vendor relationships in Santa Barbara and the central coast. She was able to provide many vendor recommendations that worked out great and she provided us with honest feedback to allow us to choose the best vendors for us. Angie was lovely to work with. We had a large wedding list and a 28 person wedding party. Angie and her team not only were able to keep everyone on time, but they also made sure everyone was enjoying the day. Our friends and family still talk about how amazing our wedding was. Angie really made us feel like we have known her forever and we felt as if a best friend was planning our wedding and looking out for us. Hire Angie! You won’t regret it.

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.

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!!

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.

Kayce is the Owner and Lead Coordinator at Kake Events! Her love for all things wedding began at the age of 5, when she booked her first wedding gig as flower girl! Since then she has held many other jobs within the wedding and events industry which give her great insight in to all aspects of your big day! ​ Three words that describe Kayce: Passionate, Organized and Caring ​ Favorites: Dogs, Pinterest, Iced Coffee, Bravo TV and GUAC! ​ Star Sign: Capricorn/Aquarius Cusp

Kayce was hands down the MVP at my wedding! I truly could not imagine my wedding day or the weeks leading up to it without her help. She was there every step of the way and made sure that everything came together seamlessly. She was respectful of my vision and opinions, and did a really amazing job guiding me to make decisions without making it about what she wanted – she had a way of making me feel like I was still in control but alleviated the stressful details that were over my head. She was professional and well organized throughout the planning process, always making me feel 100% comfortable we were on the same page. She was on time to all of our meetings and always had a positive attitude, which helped me stay focused though the thick of all the stress. She kept things fun! And I needed that. Kayce absolutely killed it on the wedding day – I had so many compliments from my bridesmaids and family members saying how great she was. I didn’t realize how consuming the actual wedding day would be until it came, and I’m so grateful I had Kayce there to keep things on schedule. Somehow among all the chaos, she managed to keep her composure and help us focus on being present for all the moments that we wanted to experience. I couldn’t ever thank Kayce enough for what she contributed to our wedding and I highly recommend her servic

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
We had a pretty elaborate wedding at Children's Fairyland in Oakland - with a choreographed dance, the bride sang a song with the band, had a DJ with two setups, we brought our own florals and booze, had a unique centerpiece for every table, location changes for the bar, and had a pretty tight timeline, and Kaci made the day absolutely perfect and magical! She came to our house, loaded everything up, and dropped it back off at our house that same night, coordinated with all of our vendors ahead of time and day, and made everything seamless. She also has a calm about her that would make the most anxious bride or groom feel at ease. We cannot recommend her enough - thank you, Kaci!!! I hope we can utilize her services again someday and maybe even just hang out with her, because she's great!
