Full service planning and coordination in the Bay Area.

“Aesthetic Embassy just got us from the start — not only the look, but the whole vibe of our wedding . Everything was handled with so much care and professionalism , and on the day of the wedding I was actually able to relax and enjoy it, which meant everything to me, since I am a freak controlling person It all felt very personal, amazingly beautiful, and real.

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.

She was calm, easy going, and worked so effortlessly behind the scenes to make a seamless wedding day happen for the couple. I'd absolutely work with her again on any event. If you're looking for a coordinator to make your event stress free, she is your best pick!”

Awarded Best of Zola
“If you are planning a Disney Fairytale Wedding, hire Kimberly immediately! We booked Kimberly’s Ever After for Partial Planning Services because we knew we wanted her expertise onboard as early as possible, and it was hands-down the best investment we made for our big day. From day one, Kimberly was incredibly enthusiastic, responsive, and clear in her communication. As a former Disney bride herself, her deep insider knowledge of the Disney wedding planning process was priceless. She took the time to truly understand our vision and helped us bring every detail to life. Whether it was researching and helping us book outside vendors or keeping us organized during our monthly check-ins, she made what could have been an overwhelming process feel completely seamless and much less stressful. One of the areas where Kimberly truly shined was helping us navigate our floral review and Banquet Event Order (BEO). She meticulously went over every line item with us and helped us strategically allocate our budget—saving us money where it made sense so we could invest in the special touches we valued most. We had a ton of DIY elements, personal decor, and favors, and Kimberly along with her husband, Travis, worked absolute magic bringing it all together. They handled full setup and teardown for our Welcome Party at Brisa Courtyard and our three-location wedding day at Disneyland Hotel (ceremony at Rose Court Garden, cocktail hour and reception on Adventure Lawn, and our after-party at Sleeping Beauty Pavilion). Knowing they had everything handled across so many venue transitions gave us total peace of mind. Kimberly and Travis went far above and beyond in every single way. We truly could not have done this without them, and we cannot recommend Kimberly’s Ever After highly enough to any couple looking to make their dream wedding a reality!”

Hi! I am Clemence the face behind The Perfect Pair Wedding :) I am born & raised in France, in the city of love Paris. During college I got the chance to do a semester abroad in San Diego, and met this really special, handsome, American guy... You see it coming? YES! After 3 years of long distance relationship, I finally married the love of my life. A little bit about The Perfect Pair Wedding... it is a San Diego based Wedding planning company, we plan & design weddings all over Southern California to bring to life our Perfect Pair's dreams.

Awarded Best of Zola
“There are truly not enough words to thank Clemence for making our dreams come to life. She was the PERFECT choice for us, and our wedding became a reality because of her. Booking a full-service planner is a HUGE decision. Out of all the vendors to choose, your planner is the one you spend the most time with. When we got engaged, we interviewed over 10 planners, and the decision for us was SO easy. Clemence brings both calm excitement and organized vision to every conversation. She is so thoughtful and receptive, but also knows how to get it all done. And every vendor she recommended for us was absolutely INCREDIBLE. We had such an positive experience from photos, DJ, content, florals, catering, makeup.... it truly was a dream team thanks to her choices!! On our wedding weekend, Clemence was at our beck and call. She was 10 steps of me (already a Type A person), knowing exactly what I needed before I would even ask. Not only did she keep everything on track, she made sure we had the best day of our lives by keeping the vibes high and really just caring for us on a deeply personal level. Most importantly, I never had to worry about our wedding day. I am sure 1000 things went wrong that I still do not know happened. I often struggle to let go (veryyyy Type A), and this was truly one of the few days I just radiated happiness and was able to relax. Knowing Clemence was there to take on anything and everything that needed attention just gave me so much peace of mind. I am beyond thankful. My only regret is never getting a picture on our wedding day with her. Clemence, thank you x1000000 for everything you did to make August 8 the best day of our lives.

“I truly can’t say enough amazing things about Carissa and her team at Positively Charming Weddings. She was the very first vendor I hired for my wedding, a year and a half in advance. Within the first 2 minutes of chatting with Carissa the first time, I knew we were the perfect match. She is incredibly organized, compassionate, an amazing listener, and isn’t afraid to take the lead and make decisions when necessary. She is thoughtful, calm, has a wealth of wedding industry knowledge and was able to provide personalized suggestions based on my preferences at every turn. To be honest, I was originally super nervous and anxious to hire a wedding planner, as I am a very type A person because of my job as a programs and event planner. But Carissa exceeded all expectations and truly was able to allow me to relax and enjoy my wedding weekend without a worry in the world. She was a problem solver every step of the way. For example, she offered to manually fixed my seating chart the day before the wedding and found a print shop willingly to print very specific last minute signage (both things that were my fault that they were delayed/wrong). She kept not only me, but my husband and both families on track leading up to the wedding, provided monthly checklists, was available via phone and email for my questions, and even provided bridal party itineraries the weekend of. Her and her team were incredibly easy to work with, and our other vendors and bridal party members said the exact same thing. She can work with anyone, with any personality type, and makes you feel important and heard. If you want someone to go above and beyond for you, look no further! She will make your day everything YOU want it to be. Couldn’t recommend her and her team more…I walked away with a new friend!”

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!

We had less than a year to plan because of the specific date we wanted, and Morgan absolutely delivered (and more). We hired her as a full-time planner, and I cannot recommend this enough. Wedding stress? Don't know her. Morgan handled everything, from contacting all of our vendors and reviewing contracts, to securing us extra perks thanks to her amazing connections. She’s not only incredibly organized and professional, but also so much fun to work with. She knows how to get things done promptly and keeps the whole process stress-free. Honestly, we would have been lost without her. And let me just say, your wedding day WILL go smoothly with Morgan by your side. I cannot say enough positive things about MBK Events and how amazing this company truly is. My wedding day was magical and it was all thanks to Morgan.”

“Taylored To You Events was absolutely essential to making our wedding everything we dreamed of. From the very beginning, Taylor guided us through the planning process with so much expertise and care. She handled all vendor communications seamlessly, which was a huge weight off our shoulders, and crafted a detailed day-of timeline that ensured everything ran like clockwork. My (now) wife and I tend to stress over details, but Taylor’s experience and professionalism made her incredibly effective at keeping everything organized and on track. Her 30-day takeover was a lifesaver—it allowed us to step back, enjoy the final weeks leading up to the wedding, and trust that everything was in great hands. On the wedding day, Taylor’s team executed everything perfectly. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing because her careful planning and coordination ensured every detail was taken care of. If you’re debating whether to plan your wedding on your own or hire a coordinator, do yourself a favor—invest in Taylor’s services. The peace of mind and flawless execution are worth every penny. Highly recommend Taylored To You Events!”

Alexandra Khoury Modon’s path to founding à la Modon Events is anything but conventional—woven through years of discipline, artistic expression, and an insatiable drive to bring visions to life. From visual and theatrical artist to Division I tennis player, courtroom prosecutor, and now event planner, she has mastered high-pressure environments, honed meticulous attention to detail, and refined the art of storytelling. Today, she channels that same precision and creativity into designing seamless, deeply personal events that reflect each client’s unique story.

“From our first conversation with Alex at Modon Events, we knew we had found our planner. She kept us informed every step of the way and gave us honest feedback about what would work best for our vision. Alex coordinated with all our vendors seamlessly and even scored us some great deals we didn't expect. What really set her apart was how much she cared—nothing was ever too much to ask, and she treated us like family throughout the entire process. She somehow manages to juggle being a working mom while still delivering the kind of attention to detail that made my princess wedding a reality. Alex refused to settle until we were 100% happy, and it shows. She's truly a rockstar, and we can't recommend her enough!”

Stephanie Marie Morris has spent 15+ years in the event industry: fueled by the social impact, togetherness, and love that each carefully-planned event has imparted onto its guests. With a sociological background + training in event design + planning, & her detail-oriented eye; Stephanie approaches each Wedding as an opportunity to connect to each client's innermost desires, while fostering memorable relationships. Just as each individual has a unique fingerprint, molded by inherent characteristics and shaped by experiences; Stephanie strives to identify that unique vision that each couple has, to then craft an event that resonates :)

“To say working with Stephanie was amazing, would be an understatement. My husband and I got engaged in late December 2024 and we hired Stephanie January 2025 to plan our Lake Tahoe October 2025 wedding. From the moment we first made contact with Stephanie, she was completely committed to helping us create our special day. I had a very specific vision for how I wanted our wedding day to look and Stephanie delivered beyond what I could have imagined. Her attention to detail is uncanny. The minutia was just as important as the grand events of the day. I consider myself to be an organized person, but Stephanie's organization is next level. I was definitely a "type A" or "needy" bride and continually checked in with Stephanie about details/schedules/vendors/etc., and sometimes even jumped the gun on planning details. Not once did Stephanie make me feel bad about my nervous energy or impulsive decisions, but rather reassured me of the planning process and reminded me that whatever I wanted she was going to help me get it; whether it was a specific vendor or design detail. She was always available to answer my emails or texts all while meeting the needs of her other brides, and that is something I greatly appreciated. The weeks leading up to your wedding day become hectic and overwhelming at times, but that's where Stephanie shines. She took care of every detail imaginable-and I mean EVERY DETAIL. She help relieved the pressure off my husband and I, which allowed us to enjoy and revel in the excitement of the coming day. On our wedding day, she worked endlessly to make sure every aspect was perfect and exactly how we wanted it, all while still finding the time to physically check in with both myself and husband while we were getting ready for the day. Even throughout the afternoon and evening, if my husband or I needed something she would magically appear, despite continuing to juggle the events of the evening. Stephanie is the type of planner, and person, who gives 100% of herself to her couples and that is an aspect of a planner that money can't buy. She cares deeply about helping you achieve the wedding day of your dreams, and she certainly did just that, and more for us. Choosing Stephanie to plan our wedding day was the best decision we could have made and I will forever be thankful for her and the day she created for my husband and I. Thanks to Stephanie we truly had the best wedding day, and in turn, have the fondest memories to carry with us.”

“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! Thanks so much for your interest in working together. I’m Jackie, a Wedding & Event Planner based in Southern California (and beyond, always) I’ve been in the event world for what feels like my entire life. I spent a decade as a professional DJ, years producing corporate events, owned a catering business for a while, and even stepped into private cheffing during COVID. The common thread through it all? I genuinely love throwing a great party.

Every vendor she recommended was professional and provided exactly what we asked for. If you have the pleasure of working with Jackie and her team, you will be well-cared for and supported throughout the planning process. Her personality was the best part as she kept Mike and I laughing through the entire day. My family loved her as well so we are looking forward to her being a staple in our family engagements & events. Thank you Jackie for everything.”

“Tiffany did a tremendous job helping with the lead-up coordination, vendor contact, rehearsal and day-of coordination. She handled wedding weekend guest questions and day-of logistics, and helped us really enjoy our day. Our wedding was also her first wedding at Ragged Point Inn, and it went so well considering she was coordinating with our venue and some of our vendors for the first time. We did a lot of things our own unique way :), and Tiffany also helped us make everything a reality - from a dinner-only reception to a silent disco dance party!”
