Thanks for visiting Breezy Day, we are so happy you are here! We are a sister team in San Diego, committed to helping you make your engagement & wedding day a breeze! WE CANNOT WAIT TO GET TO KNOW YOU!

If you do one thing for your wedding, hire Courtney! She was the very first vendor we booked after choosing our venue—and easily one of the best decisions we made. Courtney is incredible: kind, calming, and truly a “yes” person who puts you at ease during both the planning process and the high-energy emotions of your wedding day. She was always just a quick email away—super responsive, helpful, and full of great advice whenever we needed it. On the day of our wedding, she went above and beyond to make sure everything ran seamlessly, allowing us and our guests to fully relax and enjoy every moment. She also made sure we were taken care of throughout the day—fed, hydrated, and yes, even with a drink in hand when we needed it! One of the most special touches was that she captured behind-the-scenes photos and videos, giving us a glimpse into moments we otherwise would have missed before our professional photos were ready. We truly cannot recommend Courtney enough. Be sure to check out their Instagram @breezydayweddings to see her amazing work!

Michelle and Raymundo are truly a dream team made in heaven. Our wedding was yesterday and there is no way that it could’ve been as amazing or even half as incredible if it wasn’t for their help and assistance for the past few months.

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.

Kaci is a great coordinator! I had a great time day-of and it was nice working with someone who is calm and detail-oriented on the actual event day. She was quick to jump-in and see how she could help and made sure I knew the lay of the land at the venue.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m not even sure where to begin to describe how amazing Events by McKenna is at what they do!! McKenna is the most kind, helpful, and enthusiastic person to assist you during such an important time in your life. She made sure everything went perfectly on our wedding day and every day leading up to it! When we first started our wedding planning journey, we only knew where we wanted to have it, and due to the venue location not regularly being used for weddings, we needed to outsource vendors for everything. That's where McKenna came in and helped us out by hand-picking every vendor that she knew would provide the exact things we were looking for. From catering, florals, furniture rentals, DJ, and all the little details, she knew who would be perfect for the job and she was right about every single one! Every time we had a question or a crazy idea, she had an answer right away and she would do everything she could to make it happen. One thing that we were really hoping for was getting a disco ball above our dance floor, but since we were outdoors, it wasn’t looking promising. McKenna was the one who made sure that we got our disco ball, and it was absolutely perfect! That’s just one example of the many ways McKenna ensured our dream wedding would become a reality. On the day of, McKenna and her team were so efficient and handled everything so that my husband and I could relax and focus on ourselves. We got to our venue and everything was already done and ready to start the day! McKenna was amazing at time management throughout the day, and she was so helpful to not only us, but our families, wedding party and guests as well. Everything went perfectly on schedule and all the crazy ideas that we had came to life with no issues! It was truly the best day of our lives and it wouldn’t have been possible without McKenna’s help! I could write so much more on how incredible Events by McKenna is, but to sum it all up, they are the best choice for your wedding planning and coordinating needs and you will not regret choosing them for your big day!!

Hi! My name is Tiffany Rivers, owner of Rivers Event Planning. I have been in the hospitality industry for 15 years. My journey started in culinary school as a young adult and then as an Event Banquet Captain for various catering companies on the Central Coast. My love for serving others lead me to receive a degree in Hospitality Management! I then worked as an Event Coordinator for a private school in San Luis Obispo. 5 years later I decided to start my own company as a Special Event Planner and the rest is history!

Tiffany was so amazing! We hired her as our Day of Coordinator and she still made an effort to make sure we were staying on the right track during the planning process MONTHS before the wedding. She genuinely cares about her brides and does everything she can to make their vision come true. She is so sweet and also very good at directing and leading. We had a lot of people at our rehearsal and it went SO smoothly with her direction. Our wedding day also turned out way better and smoother than I ever could imagined. Plus, she made sure all our items got back to one place and in good shape. All our decor was acrylic and she went the extra mile to make sure there were no finger prints the day of the wedding. If you’re looking for a wedding planner, Tiffany is your gal!

I specialize in weddings that range from 30-100 guests, but also work with larger events and am always open to unique venues and experiences! I plan weddings in Los Angeles, Central Coast, and Orange/Ventura/San Diego Counties.

Awarded Best of Zola
I could not be happier with Tavi & Hun Events as my wedding planner! I don’t even have the words for how impressed we were (and still are) with the work she put into our wedding but I’m going to try! She had a big challenge ahead of her with planning the first full-scale wedding at an unconventional venue (the movie theater/video store Vidiots) and she not only took on the challenge, we could tell that she was excited to do so. She was enthusiastic & excited for our wedding, and came to us with really helpful advice and ideas and that really makes a world of difference! Tavi has a lot of great vendor partners, many of which we ended up using, and she was great at handling communication & details with any new vendors she hadn’t worked with before. Honestly, if there were any challenges or bumps along the way, we had no clue, and that’s exactly what a good wedding and event planner should do - make the event go seamlessly and stress-free for the couple. A month later and we’re STILL getting compliments from our friends & family about how special and fun our wedding was, and we owe so much of that to Tavi and her impeccable organization and planning. The day itself went off without a hitch! I’ve been telling everyone that hiring Tavi was the best money we spent on the wedding, and that’s absolutely true. She really cares about making your day special and making sure you aren’t dealing with the stress and confusion of contracts, juggling communication with different vendors, and getting every last detail right. If you’re getting married, do yourself a favor and HIRE TAVI!

Working with Carissa was an absolute dream! I honestly can’t imagine planning our wedding, or enjoying the day itself, without her. She was beyond detail-oriented, kind, patient, and creative! She handled so much behind the scenes that I would never have been able to manage on my own.

Everything ran so smoothly, and Carissa was so on top of vendor communication that she took a huge burden off of us. Her guidance and calm presence made the entire day completely stress-free.

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 don’t even know where to begin. I am so pleased I went with Patrice and her team as my day of coordinator. She also did a lot more than just day of! She made plans for us and talked to all of the vendors, conducted our rehearsal, worked with the venue, and took care of all those nitty gritty details. I’m pretty type A and was probably emailing her more than I should have for only choosing the day of package (lol), but she always responded promptly and kindly to every little thing I had to say. Her team was so nice and so professional and they really made me feel like they cared about my wedding - like it was more than just the next job they had. My only regret was not hiring them sooner - I could have saved myself a lot of time and energy. Thank you Patrice and team.

Makayla & her team were absolutely amazing. I am a Type A person, so it is hard for me to relax and not micromanage, but Makayla & her team helped me actually enjoy my wedding day. My husband and I would hire them again for any event a million times over. The best thing we could have done for ourselves was have them coordinating & helping me plan. I would have forgotten so much if it wasn't for them. 10000/10!!! We love you guys!

I had everything planned a year out, and then—six months in—I switched to a whole new venue where I had to hire every single vendor. Stephanie, who somehow made what should have been a total nightmare feel easy. She took all the stress off my plate, kept everything organized, and made sure my wedding was exactly what I had dreamed of. I never had to worry because she had it all handled. If you need someone who can roll with the punches and make planning way less overwhelming, she’s the one!

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!

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!!

From our first phone call, it was clear that Joey at Chasing Joy Creations understood my vision for the wedding. She followed up with personalized mood boards and maintained excellent communication throughout the planning process. As my Day-of-Wedding Coordinator, Joey's attention to detail, organization, and professionalism allowed me to truly relax and be present on my wedding day. She coordinated the timeline seamlessly, even on a tight schedule, and I honestly don't know how she pulled it all off so flawlessly. Joey's authenticity and genuine care for ensuring I had an enjoyable, stress-free day as the bride was evident in every interaction. I would highly recommend Chasing Joy Creations to any couple looking for a wedding planning partner who will go above and beyond to make your special day unforgettable.

Hi! I’m Serenity — SoCal-based wedding planner, Day of Coordination pro, and unapologetic lover of crisp Diet Coke. I started out slinging appetizers as a banquet server and worked my way up through the wedding world, from intern to venue coordinator to full-blown planner. Now, I lead a team of professional knot tiers who live for the little details and smooth timelines. You bring the romance — we’ll bring the timelines, the tissues, and maybe a spare safety pin or two.

If you're reading reviews questioning on if you should hire Serenity, let this be your sign as a YES DO IT HIRE HER SHE IS AMAZING! There are so many words I could use to describe Serenity and her teams services they provide but I wouldn't have enough room, she is the kindest, sweetest, most detail oriented person we have met. We hired Serenity earlier this year to be the day of coordinator for our wedding and not only was her price fantastic but what she offers with her packages is even better. She was with us from the moment we put down the deposit. She answered every email we sent her within a day and was always so bright and full of light. She took over all communications with all vendors 2 weeks prior to our wedding to relieve some stress and it definitely did, on day of she stayed in communication with both of us and even when the bride was running a tad bit late she did everything in her power and got us back on schedule! She made the day so magical and got every request done and even more. She kept all the vendors in order and even our other vendors were calling us the following day say how great it was to work with her and she made it so easy for them too. We plan on using her again for any other event we need her for and will be recommending her to anyone and everyone. Thank you for everything you're amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better coordinator.

Working with Jenny was the best decision we made for our wedding! My husband and I met at our childhood summer camp 14 years ago, and we always knew it was the only place we wanted to get married. Turning a summer camp into a beautiful, functional wedding venue was no small feat, but Jenny made it feel effortless. She truly went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. From the very beginning, she listened with such care and intention, then made every detail come together in the most thoughtful, seamless way. She brought in an incredible vendor team, managed every moving part with ease, and made sure the entire weekend reflected who we are as a couple. Because of Jenny, we were able to be fully present and soak in every moment with our loved ones. The weekend was magical, personal, joyful, and completely stress-free. Jenny didn’t just plan a wedding; she created an experience we’ll treasure forever. We are endlessly grateful and cannot recommend her and Whiskey Feather Events enough!

Kate truly goes above and beyond in every sense. From our very first point of contact through the day of our wedding, she was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and exceptionally organized. Communication was always clear, timely, and reassuring, and she consistently made us feel supported throughout the entire process. I’m very Type A and deeply involved in everything I do, so trusting someone else with the details does not come easily for me. Kate earned that trust completely. She handled every detail with such care and professionalism that everything ran seamlessly, allowing me to fully let go and be present on our wedding day. Her calm, steady presence made all the difference, and it was clear she genuinely cared about our experience. We are so grateful for her dedication and would recommend Kate without hesitation to anyone looking for a coordinator who is reliable, thoughtful, and truly exceptional at what she does.

I’m Katie Tinker, Owner of Wildflowers Elegant Events. I am the wife of a Wildland Firefighter and a mama to two precious little boys & a furbaby who have stolen my heart forever. I fell in love with wedding/event planning while planning my own wedding 7 years ago. While most feel event planning to be stressful and full of anxiety I find it to be exciting and fulfilling. I am looking forward to working with you to bring your event dreams to life. And in doing that, it is my mission to make it easy, stress free, fun and an exciting journey for you.

We have nothing but absolute appreciation for Katie and her team. Katie and her team were our guardian angels on our special day. We thought we could handle things ourselves, but as the day grew closer we realized we couldn’t do it alone - and we stumbled upon Katie’s page. She was our absolute lifesaver. Not only was she extremely timely, transparent, and professional from the start, but she was also super welcoming, friendly and fun to work with. We clicked with Katie instantly, and knew we had to book her for our wedding. Katie understood our vision and brought it to life so seamlessly. She was extremely thorough through every part of the process and literally thought of EVERYTHING. Believe us, there’s something you missed on your list - but don’t worry, Katie didn’t! She also handled our vendors for us - especially the difficult ones. Honestly, we don’t know what would have happened if it wasn’t for her. Our day flowed so well, and it wouldn’t have been possible without Katie and her team. She made us feel like the priority when we were worried about the guests. She handled anything and everything that came up so gracefully - and she still won’t tell us what went wrong! Her main goal is to make sure that the day is perfect for the newlyweds and thanks to her our day was for us. She even took the time to put plates together for us to make sure we ate, or at least had access to food. Believe us, if someone doesn’t put a plate in front of you, good luck getting a bite in - your day is going to be packed. We are still receiving compliments on how well the day went, how smooth everything flowed together. Anyone we know that is engaged is already being referred to her. Choosing Katie as our Wedding Coordinator was one of the, if not the absolute best decision we could have made.
