LouLou Event Planning 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Arcata, CA

As a food stylist, event planner, and business owner with over 20 years in hospitality and catering, I believe the smallest details hold the most meaning. I’m drawn to beauty in how a space feels, how colors and textures come together, and how every element flows effortlessly. When couples trust me with their celebration, I listen deeply and design with intention, care, and heart — so they can feel calm, present, and completely immersed in their day. Proud ally and safe space for the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC community. Best wishes and warmest regards, LouLou

I’ve worked with LouLou Events going on about ten times now, both personally (for friends and family gatherings), as well as professionally (we at Edible Magazine hire her for both her food styling, and event production). I'm not only in awe of her style and the aesthetic she brings to any event or setup; I also appreciate her work ethic and processes. She’s quick and efficient in her responses (a dream for my type-A personality), is dependable, and has an unmatched eye for design. Everything, I mean everything, she creates is beautiful. The events always feel special and thoughtfully done. They leave a lasting impression on guests -- it is exactly what I hope for. Over time I’ve relied on her for all kinds of needs, from production and food styling for various magazine shoots; event management for gatherings; tablescape design for a cookbook party; food setups for long shoot days. She’s someone I return to again and again because she is professional, kind, and delivers every single time. I would recommend her to anybody.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we first spoke with Datso, we knew we were in good hands. Her communication style was prompt and friendly, and she’s incredibly knowledgeable about planning weddings in our area. Datso went above and beyond to help bring our vision to life, giving our unconventional micro wedding the same love and attention as a big wedding. One of the most memorable moments was when my 2-year-old, the flower girl, didn't want to walk down the aisle without me. Datso got down on her level, gently spoke to her, and helped get her comfortable - she ended up walking beautifully, even veering off to pick some flowers with the maid of honor, resulting in some of our favorite photos! Datso listened to my scatter-brained ideas and brought them to life beautifully (the pictures speak for themselves). I am forever grateful for her expertise and help. Thank you Datso!

Kaci Danae Events 
Rating: 5.0 (48 reviews)
  • Offers 5 services
  • Serves Arcata, CA

I’ve always been inspired by the strong, ambitious women in my life who built successful small businesses in the hospitality industry — from restaurant owners and bakers to caterers and florists. Growing up surrounded by their entrepreneurial spirit, I was motivated to follow my own path and create something meaningful in the world of events. ​ After spending two years working as a Wedding Coordinator at the Westin, the pandemic hit and forced a pause on hotel weddings. That unexpected turn of events only fueled my determination to turn my passion into a full-time business. And so, Kaci Danae Events was born.

Awarded Best of Zola
I want to take a moment and say how wonderful it was to work with Kaci during a recent wedding reception. She was very attentive to the needs of the newlyweds and collaborated constantly throughout the event to make sure no details were overlooked. In these times where there is such a shortage of professionalism, it was refreshing to work with a someone that clearly takes pride in providing the best service and working together. I highly recommend Kaci!

Hey, I’m Isa! With over 10 years in the event planning industry, I’ve had the joy of helping bring love stories to life in the most meaningful ways. Being Brazilian, I naturally embrace different cultures, traditions and styles - Making every event I plan feel unique, personal and true to each client. I’m here to take the stress off your shoulders and turn your vision into a day you’ll never forget!

From day one, Isa made us feel like we were working with a friend, not just a vendor. She responded to every text and call in a heartbeat, even when we needed to vent about the small stuff, and her calm demeanor helped us stay grounded through the planning process. What really set her apart was how she advocated for us when the church wanted to change our ceremony, she stepped in and made sure everything happened exactly the way we envisioned it. On our wedding day, she had thought of everything: from bobby pins and toothbrushes to custom vow books so we could actually read our vows to each other instead of squinting at our phones. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how seamlessly the day flowed, and honestly, that was all Isa. She anticipated what we needed before we even asked, handled every detail with ease, and somehow made the whole process feel personal rather than transactional. We're already planning our next event with her. BABY SHOWER #1 locked it with you girl!!

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.

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.

Initially, I had not intended to use a wedding planner. However, as the day drew nearer, I knew there was no way I could plan two weddings (one cultural, one American) without help.

She was within our budget and was easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. I already had minimal concerns about the wedding day, but Amber took any remaining worries and completely washed them away.

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.

I used Brittany at Heirloom Design and Company and it was by far the best choice I made in the realm of vendors. Brittany is so quick to respond, thorough, and includes her client in every step of the planning process. Brittany is open to incorporating changes that need to be made, and takes all the stress off the bride. As things get down to the wire for the wedding, knowing that your invitation suites are taken care of it phenomenal. Not to mention her packages include addressing, postage, and sending the the suites to guests- this is a huge time saver when it gets down to crunch time! I cannot recommend Brittany and her amazing company enough! -Stacie Fort Mitchell, KY

Welcome to The Dainty Daydream, where together we create beautifully styled gatherings from romantic elopements in the mountains to breathtaking ceremonies in National Parks or elegantly curated weddings closer to home. ​

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Emily from Dainty Daydream for my wedding, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. I originally found her on Zola and hired her for day-of setup and design support—but she ended up being so much more than that. From the very beginning, Emily was incredibly responsive and kind, answering questions and offering guidance in the months leading up to our big day. We really dove in a month before the wedding to finalize all the details. I had already designed and chosen the decor myself, and Emily took everything I envisioned and brought it to life beautifully. On the wedding day, she handled setup and styling with such care and professionalism. Every detail was perfect, and walking into the finished space felt like stepping into my dream. Emily is sweet, calming, and so easy to work with. Dainty Daydream is a truly special company, and having her as part of our vendor team was one of the best decisions we made. If you’re looking for someone to bring your wedding vision to life with grace, precision, and heart—Emily is the one!

Corinne and her team helped our day run so smoothly! Even though we only hired her for day-of services, she was just an email or text away throughout the planning process for those moments when I wasn't quite sure how to answer a vendor's question. On the day of, she kept everyone in line and on time! She is fearless in wrangling stray guests and groomsmen alike. I didn't even know if there were any bumps in the road, she handled everything like a champ.

Happens Like Magic (Krysta) was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. We chose her month of coordination package, and she delivered on every element. Her communication style was very open, with regular check-ins and specific updates on the planning process. She is hardworking, detail-oriented, and genuinely cared about making our special day a success. Krysta was wonderful - with our wedding having a lot of moving parts across multiple spaces in our venue, she checked in with us regularly to ensure everything was being executed exactly as we had envisioned. She was constantly on the move, doing her best to keep our day running smoothly despite not exactly having a "Type A" bride to work with. Thank you so much for making the wedding day I dreamed about come to life!
