Each program is structured like a show, with clear timing and cues, so nothing feels rushed or out of place. No vendor commissions, only a trusted network. Full service planning and coordination in the Bay Area.

Amanda was our day-of coordinator and she did an incredible job. In the weeks leading up the wedding, she was communicative and organized. A few days before the wedding, she even drove over to our house to pick up various decorations and props so that we wouldn't have to worry about it on the day-of, which was super helpful. On the day-of, Amanda did an amazing job ensuring everything went according to plan. Our wedding had many small details that would be easy to lose track of, but Amanda was on top of things. We couldn't have been more happy with our day-of coordinator and are so thankful that Amanda helped make our special day go smoothly.

Working with Kalyna at Bella Dia Events was the best investment we made for our wedding — hands down! From the very beginning, Kalyna made us feel like we were her only clients. She helped us shape our entire vision, from finding the perfect DJ to designing a floral dreamscape that our guests are still talking about. She didn’t just recommend vendors; she handpicked them based on our style, our budget, and our vibe — and somehow made it all look like we spent twice as much as we actually did. Kalyna is truly the queen of organization. She built us custom timelines, checklists, and even gentle reminder emails that kept us on track without ever feeling overwhelmed. She managed our guest list like a pro — juggling RSVPs, special meal requests, last-minute changes — and made it all look effortless. She even helped us design our floor plan, coordinated transportation logistics, and thought of all the little things we never would have, like having an emergency kit on-site (which definitely saved the day at one point!). What really blew us away was her ability to stretch our budget with wedding hacks and insider tips we never would have known without her. She found creative ways to repurpose ceremony flowers for the reception, negotiated amazing deals with our vendors, and made sure every dollar worked overtime to bring our dream day to life. The day of the wedding, Kalyna was pure magic. She handled every moving part behind the scenes so we could truly relax and soak it all in. We had so many guests tell us it was the most beautiful, seamless wedding they had ever attended — and that’s 100% thanks to Kalyna. It truly was the most perfect day, and we owe it all to Bella Dia Events. If you’re lucky enough to book Kalyna, do it — your future self will thank you a thousand times over!

ImPerfect Events

Berkeley, CA
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $1,950

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.

Working with Sydney was such a great experience. She was so open to hearing about our (extensive) ideas and themes, all the miscellaneous thoughts we wanted to talk about, but then helping us understand what we could realistically do while staying true to our vision. Sydney was so on it, being detail oriented, keeping us on track, and helping us through achieving our milestones. Thank you so much, Sydney for all you did to make our special day one we'll never forget!

Hi, I'm Jessie — the heart behind Tigerlily Events Co. I hold a business degree from UC Berkeley and bring over a decade of experience, from polished corporate events to joyful kids' cooking parties. I've led events at LinkedIn and Culinary Artistas, and collaborated with some of the nation's top luxury wedding planners. You're equally likely to find me fine-tuning a timeline at 2am or on the dance floor. I bring that balance of precision and play to every event. As a CASA advocate, a portion of every Tigerlily event supports foster youth in SF. This is where it all comes together for me. All are welcome!

From our first conversation, Jessie at Tigerlily Events Co. understood exactly what we wanted for our wedding day. She was incredibly responsive throughout the planning process and really listened to our ideas, which made us feel heard and valued. When it came to our budget, Jessie walked us through what was achievable and helped us make smart decisions without sacrificing our vision. For our florals, she had fantastic insights that helped us nail the exact look we wanted while keeping costs down. Her knowledge of the wedding industry and attention to detail went above and beyond what we expected. We loved working with Jessie so much that we hired her to plan our baby shower a year later.

I worked with Amanda while planning my May 2026 wedding at Hard Rock Los Cabos. As a Type A event producer myself, I honestly wasn't sure I needed a wedding planner - but hiring Amanda was one of the best decisions I made. I found Amanda on Instagram after seeing the beautiful photos from her own wedding, and from our very first meeting I knew I was in good hands. Our monthly planning meetings quickly became something I genuinely looked forward to. She made the process exciting and enjoyable instead of overwhelming, and always brought a calm, positive energy. Amanda's vendor recommendations were incredible, and she always stood behind them. She helped us decide where to splurge, where to save, repurpose décor throughout the day, negotiate with vendors, and ultimately saved us time and our wedding budget. She also managed countless emails, follow-ups, and logistics, saving us an unbelievable amount of time. Most importantly, she gave me complete peace of mind. On our wedding day, I never worried about timelines, vendors, or logistics because I knew everything was under control. I was able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. I truly can't recommend Amanda enough. If you're debating whether to hire a planner, do it - you won't regret it.

It was a pleasure working with Kaiya! She was very cooperative, knowledgeable, and organized throughout the entire process. The package I chose with Kaiya was the event management service. Wedding planning was a bit stressful for me since it was just my partner and I planning the whole thing together but 3 months before the event Kaiya jumped in and helped manage all of our vendors, helped with day of timeline, and more. She also helped coordinate the rehearsals and the day of the wedding. I truly did not have to worry about a single thing on my wedding day, Kaiya handled everything with ease and care, and she guided us through our timelines of events that day with expertise. Without her I don’t know how I would have been able to manage everything on my own. I appreciate her greatly and am glad I was able to work with her! Thank you again Kaiya!

AWE Planner

  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Berkeley, CA

As the founder of AWE Planner, you might wonder: How did she become a planner? How many events do we coordinate each year? What inspires us about this work? For founder Jenn Greel, becoming a wedding and event planner was a natural path. Her journey began with bartending private events, and planning gatherings for friends, which eventually spared the idea of launching her own planning business. From our first wedding fair to signing our first client-who happened to be a coworker at the time-AWE Planner was built from scratch. With every event we've learned, grown, and harnessed our experiences to shape the outstanding team we are today.

We were so happy to find AWE Planner to coordinate our wedding reception. Jenn was very communicative and easy to work with, making sure to check in with us leading up to our wedding and helping wrangle all our vendors. She and her assistant, Flor, even came out for several walkthroughs at our venue to make sure every detail was figured out. The icing on the cake was they were also able to create and deliver our floral arrangements, which was a HUGE bonus. Our flowers looked incredible and worked perfectly with our aesthetic. We were able to hand off all of our signage and decor and they put everything together beautifully. If you are having any sort of wedding or event, I would highly recommend hiring AWE Planner to make your vision come to life.

I cannot recommend Cynthia enough! The last three months leading up to my wedding were incredibly stressful, but bringing Cynthia on board as our day-of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment she stepped in, she brought a sense of calm and control that truly helped relieve so much of the pressure I was feeling. Cynthia is incredibly organized and detail-oriented. She thought of things I never would have, and her preparation gave me the confidence to actually enjoy my wedding day.

Her knowledge, responsiveness, and fantastic suggestions made a huge difference whenever we needed help. We started with a phone call to discuss our wedding vision and get to know each other. About six months before the wedding, we did a walkthrough of the venue together. Jacqueline was always there to promptly answer our questions through email, and she even joined us on our trip to Chairs for Affairs (rentals) to help pick out linens, tables, decorations, bar stands, and more. We saw her again at our rehearsal dinner, where her direction made everything run smoothly. The day before the wedding, she graciously helped print and frame all our signs. On the day of our wedding, everything went off without a hitch, thanks to Jacqueline's help with the schedule. She even made sure we ate! The day was a fun blur, and we were so grateful to have her there. Wedding planning can be stressful, even for those who enjoy it. Jacqueline made the process so much easier and put us at ease. If you're looking for a wedding planner in the Bay Area, we highly recommend Jacqueline. She offers month of coordination, along with partial and full-service wedding planning. She will make sure your day goes smoothly and worry-free.

I joined the military on a whim and landed in Northern California, where I learned to love structure, connection, and celebrating people from every background. In 2022, I became an ordained minister after realizing just how much I’m drawn to real, deep love stories. The more weddings I officiated and planned, the more I found my spark in intimate celebrations. I wanted to create something different, a planning experience where you don’t have to lift a finger or carry the weight of timelines, vendors, or tiny details. At Ember, we handle the logistics so you can stay present, soak it in, and let your day unfold exactly as it should.

I’m so grateful for finding Ty. Our initial call to discuss my vision and to see if Ember was the right choice for my wedding went perfectly. I could tell she knew exactly what she was doing when we spoke on the phone. My number one priority was to not have to set up stuff on my wedding day and not have to coordinate. Anytime there was a problem on my wedding day she took care of it and was very active in my wedding day. From handling a problem with the caterer to handing out blankets to guests as their gift. Not only did she do all of that she also took pictures and videos and created a whole album for me since she knew I wouldn’t get pictures from my photographer/videographer for a while. Those pictures and videos were some of the best ones I got. Thank you Ty and Nikki!

I was born and raised in a beautiful valley in Western Colorado. I prefer living in small towns, but I like visiting big cities and finding all the best restaurants. Even though I spent most of my life in the west, I am enjoying the opportunity of living in new places. Along with event planning, a few other things that I love are my husband, my daughters, dogs (but especially my own), mountains, home improvement projects, camping, thunderstorms, dance parties, any and all dessert, cooking, and wearing the color black.

Kel Bozeman Events was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the start, Mikelle demonstrated active listening, respect, and responsiveness, ensuring our vision was brought to life. Her work was commendable, proficient, detailed, and outstanding - she made sure everything went according to plan and timeline, paid close attention to every detail, and handled any stressful situations with excellent communication and calm professionalism. We couldn't have asked for a more excellent wedding planner, and we highly recommend Kel Bozeman Events to any future clients or brides.

As your partner in the planning process, I'll help uncover goals and priorities, providing timelines and to-do lists that work without the overwhelm. I work closely with vendors and communicate the expectations for the wedding day so everyone is on the same page and can execute a seamless experience for couples and their guests.

We had the most wonderful experience working with Samantha Gruwell for our Nov 2021 Deer Park Villa wedding. She did the month of coordination and it was the best decision we could have made. We were feeling overwhelmed with all of the details that still needed ironed out those last few weeks leading up the wedding, and Sam was so helpful in getting everything organized, and really put us at ease. She took control of communication with all our vendors (venue, photographer, caterer, DJ, florist) and ensured our special day had a well planned schedule that ran seamlessly. Sam was so hands-on throughout the entire process. We did multiple zoom calls to go over details and questions, and she did a walk through of the venue with us a few weeks prior. She helped us organize our rehearsal to ensure the ceremony had the right timing and flow. And she helped us perfectly execute it on the day of. She even stuck around through the very end of the evening and helped to dismantle some of the flowers and decor. Sam really put her heart and soul into ensuring our wedding day went flawlessly, and she’s also one of the kindest, most thoughtful people you’ll meet. Our wedding was an absolute dream, and we owe it all to Sam for making our dream a reality! Cannot recommend her enough for your wedding planning needs.
