I've had the pleasure of working with Lindsey from Relic Events on several weddings, and every time has been an absolute joy. She’s incredibly organized, professional, and calm under pressure — everything you’d want in a wedding planner. Her couples are always so happy, and it’s easy to see why. Lindsey truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to make their day seamless and beautiful. As a photographer, I always appreciate how smoothly things run when Lindsey is at the helm. I can’t recommend her enough!

Love & Laughter Weddings made our wedding dreams come true! It was honestly the best day of my life, and I still can’t believe how perfectly everything came together. Evelyn and her team didn’t just bring my Pinterest board to life, they somehow made it even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. They were kind, thoughtful, and genuinely fun to work with. Throughout the whole planning process they felt more like friends than just planners. I always felt supported and taken care of and they made everything feel so easy. I can’t recommend them enough. 5 stars isn’t even enough for how amazing this team is!!

Event’s With Jules 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Carmel, CA

Jules has an affinity for nostalgia, Design and a good party. with a background in art and design, she loves lots of color and loves a design challenge. She’s an instinctive connector who loves to bring people together in and out of her professional life, and that led her to event planning. When she’s not planning an epic event you can find her on an Adventure with her husband and daughter or at an estate sale in the Bay Area. she loves hunting for treasures, jumping into water and is a dancing queen

We had an intimate wedding of only 34 people and figured a coordinator wasn't necessary. That is until our venue-provided coordinator left the company and we realized just how much stuff we'd be juggling the day of the wedding if we didn't have someone on our side helping us out. That's exactly what Jules was for us. We hired her as our month-of/day-of coordinator. Leading up the wedding, she gave us a thorough questionnaire that helped us figure out a lot of details we hadn't even thought of. She was quick to respond to all email and questions. Then the day of the wedding came around and I can say I felt fully at ease knowing Jules was there to work her magic in the background. At the end of the night, she packed up all of our decor and personal items from the venue and loaded it up in our car which was a logistical detail we were stressing about until we hired Jules. She was even kind enough to drop the keys off at our hotel. I can't recommend her enough to future couples in the Monterey, Santa Cruz, or surrounding area!

Event By Dawn 
Rating: 5.0 (11 reviews)
  • Offers 2 services
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Carmel, CA

At Event by Dawn, I’ve spent over 10 years helping couples bring their wedding dreams to life. I’m here to guide you through the planning process, making it as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. I love working closely with you to create a day that reflects your unique vision, and I’m happy to tailor my packages to fit your budget and needs. From start to finish, I’ll ensure your wedding day is seamless, personal, and unforgettable.

Dawn was so incredibly wonderful for our 10-23-2025 wedding at Waterfall Lodge! We booked her a year and a half in advance and from the moment we booked with her, she was available and responsive. She worked with our schedules and took some of the wedding planning stress off of us. She even helped with recommendations on ways to save some money and utilize all vendors to our full potential. That’s just the planning part of it. Let’s get to the wedding day. From the very start of the rehearsal to the very end of the wedding day, Dawn was incredible. We had a crazy amount of extra people show up to the rehearsal itself who were not needed, but she guided everyone on where they needed to be despite all the extra commotion of extra family members wanting to be involved. The night before the wedding I went through all of my decorations and things that I had spent a lot of time crafting and creating with her and I just kind of spouted everything out all at once. Was I a little worried that she was just committing it all to memory and that my vision might not come to life? Yep. Should I have been worried? Not at all. She executed the vision I had with every little detail included to a tee. Seriously, she kept everything going smoothly. It all looked better than I had pictured it and I was in awe of her ability to keep things running so smoothly with so many different vendors. If there were things that went wrong, I have no idea because she not once gave me an inkling of any stress or anything. We even had a guest comment on how seamlessly she worked into the event. My favorite part of the day with Dawn comes to when we finally made it into dinner. We had ordered Chilis chips and salsa for cocktail hour as that’s where we met. At one point, Dawn came over with one whole bowl of chips and salsa (and sour cream because that’s my favorite) and plopped it onto our sweethearts table. It’s just all the small details that she took care of. It was one of my favorite parts of the day because it was so us. She was absolutely crucial in the best day of our lives and I cannot recommend her more. Thanks again for everything Dawn!

We are a small but mighty team of event professionals who simply love making your life easier. Whether you’re a hands-on couple with a locked-in vision, or you prefer to delegate most of the decision-making, we offer the guidance you need to create the wedding or event you have been dreaming of.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we were initially searching for wedding planners, it was immediately clear to us that the team at Paige Events stood head and shoulders above anyone else we interviewed. From the moment we started working with Paige A for partial planning for our wedding, we were given all the tools and support we needed to plan and execute the most amazing wedding weekend. Paige A does an amazing job managing vendors (multiple of them came up to us after the wedding to tell us how much they liked working with her, and how great of a communicator she was) and ensuring that you can really relax and enjoy your wedding rather than worrying about logistical details. Our wedding had the additional challenge of being in an area with no cell reception (Big Sur) and Paige A did an amazing job managing logistics in this challenging environment, including arranging shuttles to transport 100 people for multiple events. It’s clear to see that Paige A is great at her job and that she also enjoys the process. If you’re looking for someone to help execute your wedding vision, look no further!

How to tell you about me in a short paragraph? Ok, here we go - born & raised in Australia, recently American. Currently Aus-Merican. Wife to Spencer (2016), Mum/Mom to Reed (2020), and Milo (2023).  Big fan of a latte in the morning and a French75 on special occasions. An avid listener of audiobooks, podcasts, Taylor Swift, my 'Theatre Mix' playlist on Spotify, and early 2000's pop and, occasionally, 2010's emo. A repeat watcher of Bridgerton, New Girl, The Good Place, The Righteous Gemstones, VEEP, & Ted Lasso.

I have worked with Claire for over 8 years at multiple venues and seen her shine doing what she loves. There is not a single detail that will go unnoticed with her in charge. Weddings are second nature to her and she is careful to address all logistics beginning to end. Every couple who has hired her as a coordinator loves her and feels as if she is their best friend the day of. She goes above and beyond and will assist with everything she possibly can including (but not limited to) creating and following a sensible timeline, clear communication between vendors and couple family / wedding party, bustling dresses, bringing her emergency supply kit in case ANY unexpected incident should arise, and will manage the day without the client even knowing what is happening behind the scenes. Claire was born to be a coordinator and you will be the best hands with her on your day!

Andrina and her team at Confetti and Cocktails are the greatest wedding planners ever ever ever. We wanted an intimate wedding and I was worried that a planner would not be as invested as they would for a larger wedding - that could not have father from the truth. From the initial call, all the way through the wedding day and beyond, she has been our designer, therapist, and dream maker. Her professionalism, quick response times to my million questions, and advice on all things wedding related were so helpful during the planning process. She knows the best venues and has great relationships with vendors near and far. The design creation was so fun. She sent a personalized mood board of things we had discussed on the phone and I got to go through and choose the ideas that spoke to me. Then we got to meet at the showroom and put all the pieces together. The day of, Andrina came prepared with EVERYTHING you could possibly ever need. She managed all the vendors and helped everyone stick to the timeline. All I had to do the day of was enjoy getting married. Everything went so smoothly and the day was exactly what we had hoped and planned for. I literally cannot put into words just how wonderful of a person Andrina is and how talented she is. You can tell it is not just her job, but also her passion. If you are looking for a planner, I recommend her a million times over.

Kate Ford Events 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $9,995
  • Serves Carmel, CA

Kate Ford Events (formerly Pocketful Of Plans) is a full service wedding and event planning company based in Monterey and Carmel California. We plan events in and around Carmel, Carmel Valley, Pebble Beach, Big Sur, and Monterey. We focus on your priorities and vision for the day or weekend to ensure your guests have a magical and immersive experience.

From our very first interview with Kate, we knew she was the one. She came to the table with an incredible balance of confidence, deep experience, and a completely down-to-earth demeanor. Our initial impression was that she possessed a "Type A" personality in the absolute best way possible—highly structured, incredibly organized, and fiercely detailed. We walked away from that first conversation knowing our wedding was in the best possible hands. The Planning Process: Kate’s organization is elite. She maps out a clear, macro-level timeline so you always know what’s coming next, scheduling deep-dive meetings that perfectly correspond to each phase of the process. Her communication is seamless; she was accessible whenever we needed her, and on the rare occasion she wasn’t, she managed expectations upfront about when she’d get back to us. What we appreciated most was her curated approach. She didn’t rely on cookie-cutter themes from past weddings; instead, she used targeted questionnaires to truly understand our specific vision and brought it to life as a unique, personalized experience. Her vendor network is massive, and she provided exceptional, tailored options for everything—photography, videography, florals, catering, stationery, and bespoke branded details. Kate never simply said "no" to an idea. If there was a logistical or timing constraint, she immediately pivoted to creative alternatives that achieved the same look and feel. She spent over eight hours with us on a single weekend grinding through our food tasting, venue layout, furniture selection, and floral details without missing a beat. Throughout a process that can easily become overwhelming, Kate’s patience was unmatched. She was an absolute advocate for us, always had our back when negotiating with venues and vendors, and made the entire months-long process feel completely stress-free and adaptive to our demanding daily schedules. The Execution & Hospitality: On the wedding day, Kate and her team executed a complex, highly coordinated itinerary flawlessly. Her team operated like a finely tuned orchestra—everyone knew their exact role and maintained a highly professional, cohesive presence. She had dedicated assistants tracking the bride and groom simultaneously, meaning she had her finger on the pulse of the entire event from sunrise to midnight. Kate checked in with us constantly, ensuring we were updated and completely taken care of. Beyond looking after us, her level of hospitality was incredible. She treated every guest like a VIP, but paid exceptional, personalized attention to our families to ensure all of their specific accommodations were perfectly handled. She also seamlessly managed the logistics for our hotel welcome bags and custom wedding swag. It felt like Kate was viewing the entire day through our eyes, bringing our exact vision to life in real time. Everything we imagined our wedding would be was that and so much more. If you want a flawless, high-end execution, Kate is unmatched.

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.

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! 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
When we first connected with Clemence, we were feeling overwhelmed and anxious. With our wedding less than six months away and having recently parted ways with our original planner, we were in urgent need of someone who could bring our dream wedding to life. Clemence stepped in with infectious enthusiasm, and from the outset, it was clear she genuinely cared about realizing the vision we held for our special day. An early experience that solidified our confidence in Clemence, and one we will always cherish, was our engagement photoshoot. Just a week after our initial meeting, Clemence learned of our upcoming anniversary trip to the Loire Valley, where we planned to stay at a Chateau and have our engagement photos taken. The photographer we had initially found was unresponsive, creating a stressful situation. Clemence immediately took charge, connecting us with an amazing Parisian photographer she had collaborated with previously, Lea Everin. Within a couple of days, she had arranged a two-hour photoshoot for us at the Chateau. This swift action and dedication left us speechless and demonstrated a level of commitment that truly made the entire experience unforgettable. Clemence excelled in understanding and aligning with our expectations, particularly regarding organization. She effectively utilized a shared spreadsheet to keep us synchronized on tasks and, crucially, the budget. Her proficiency with Canva was also a great asset, allowing her to create clear visual representations for elements like table settings and decor, which was immensely helpful. During our meetings, Clemence had a remarkable ability to make us feel as though our wedding was her sole focus. She also introduced us to an outstanding team of vendors, including the talented photographer Renata Amazonas and Katlyn Jernigan from Toast Catering, all of whom contributed significantly to our day. What truly set Clemence apart was her receptiveness to feedback and her proactive approach. We had several productive meetings at the venue, which fostered a sense of calm and shared understanding, ensuring our wedding would be everything we envisioned. She also skillfully managed the planning process itself, making it feel like a unique and enjoyable experience in its own right. We'll never forget how she coordinated with cake vendors; after we expressed our desire for a fun and memorable tasting, she arranged a delightful experience at the venue with Connor’s Cakes, complete with delicious samples and champagne. Given the exceptional service leading up to the wedding, it's hard to imagine Clemence could have surpassed our expectations on the actual day – yet she did. Our wedding day proceeded flawlessly. Despite concerns about potential rain leading into the weekend, Clemence had worked diligently with us to prepare for all scenarios. Thankfully, the weather was beautiful, and we had the most perfect wedding we could have ever asked for. Throughout the entire day, we were completely free of worry, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in and savor every precious moment. Thank you, Clemence, for truly making our entire wedding journey and the day itself absolutely perfect. We will cherish these memories forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
My partner and I were looking for guidance and help in planning our wedding celebration. We were recommended Two Perfect Events by our venue, Mister Jiu's, given their prior collaboration and experience with them. We were kindly welcomed by Leah and introduced to our planner, Yoko, who was amazing, carefully guiding and making our vision a reality, accommodating our preferences and budget, and helping us with the design and layout of the big day with all of our vendors. She provided multiple vendor options, communicated closely with them and us throughout the bidding and hiring process, and ensured we were all on the same page from planning through the walkthrough and up to the day of the event. One of the greatest things about this process was the clear, concise communication and organization that made planning, payments, and decision-making understandable, step by step, rather than a labyrinth of crossed wires and deadlines.  The day of our wedding was as effortless as could be. It was great to have the team from Two Perfect Events, along with Yoko and Leo, there to assist with setting up and taking down decorations and rentals, help guide guests, event staff, and our vendors, and ensure everything, including our deliveries and rentals, went according to plan. We also appreciated that our planners kept an eye on both of us the entire night to ensure we were doing well and enjoying the festivities, getting our food, making sure we were at the right place at the right time, and saving any items for our personal requests. We did not expect that Two Perfect Events would take behind-the-scenes photos and videos of the entire day and the in-person walkthroughs, which gave us a chance to reminisce on the process and quickly provide a glimpse of our families and friends outside the eyes of our wonderful wedding photographers.  We appreciated that our vendors were all in sync, and the coordinators ensured our entire process minimized the stress of planning, which was what we had hoped for all along. They provided us with good advice on choosing vendors, insurance for our wedding, and what to expect when working with multiple parties. It was evident that Two Perfect Events had considered multiple contingencies and scenarios in which snafus or unexpected issues may arise throughout the process, and we were glad that Yoko was always prepared for them, including giving us enough buffer time due to traffic delays so our guests could arrive on the big day.  Everyone complimented us on the evening, and it went by so smoothly. They commented that this was the least stressful and most fun wedding they've been to in a long time, which conveyed the vibe we were going for. We wanted it to be a fun yet intimate evening where everyone enjoyed getting together to celebrate, and we were delighted to celebrate that day with them. Thanks again to our wonderful planner, Yoko, and Two Perfect Events! We couldn't have done this without you.

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!

We can't say enough good things about Rose Event Company! Planning a wedding is never easy, but doing it in just 4 months, from across the country, and in a remote area with limited vendors seemed impossible—until we found Ashley. She took our vision of an intimate elopement with our closest family and friends, and turned it into the weekend of our dreams, managing every detail with perfection and making the entire process stress-free. From the moment we first spoke, I knew that Ashley was everything I was looking for. She is professional, organized, and full of creative ideas. Despite the challenges of our location, she found the perfect vendors to bring our vision to life. She understood our style and preferences right away and worked tirelessly to ensure everything was just as we envisioned. Even with the distance, Ashley was always available, responsive, and kept us updated every step of the way. She organized all the activities for our wedding weekend, including putting together our guest welcome bags. The entire weekend was a like a dream. Every single detail was meticulously executed, and we received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and seamless everything was. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, patient, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect, look no further than Ashley. She made what could have been a stressful and overwhelming process into something fun and memorable. Thank you, Ashley for making our dream wedding a reality!

I've been navigating the WI wedding industry since starting Redwoods in 2023. Before that, my love for events came from working at a winery in Napa, California. I'm here to help you with the chaotic parts of planning; navigating your budget, choosing the right vendors, staying on track with planning progress, and of course, managing the entire event day of (and everything in between). When I'm not in office, you can find me walking my dogs, reading a book, finding a fun craft class or restaurant to visit with my husband Alex (yes we have the same name) or traveling.

There are NO WORDS to describe how amazing Redwood Weddings was to work with leading up to our wedding. Alex was incredibly helpful during the planning process in answering my random questions and giving advice. Our lead coordinator, Katie, who I called my "emotional support animal" lead us through the final 3 months of planning with ease, to ensure that our day was executed flawlessly with our experience as well as the guest logistics/experience in mind. On the wedding day, she was worth her weight in gold- she made my vision come to life, ensured that I was stress-free all day, and was such a kind and calming presence that even my family members took note on how amazing she was! I would recommend Redwood Weddings to everyone and my dream wedding would have never been possible without them throughout the whole process. I cannot say enough good things about these amazing ladies. Book them, you won't regret it!!!

Zuzu Collective is a bespoke wedding planning studio specializing in immersive, story-driven weddings in San Diego and throughout California and worldwide. We start with your story — your taste, your vision, what you want people to feel — and build a world from there.

We’ve been raving about how our day felt like us. Zoe was such a big part of this. Throughout the event, Zoe was a constant calm and organized force. She nailed the tablescape and venue decor, going above and beyond with her attention to detail and creativity. I felt that she took the time to know exactly what we wanted. There were multiple moments where I felt she went above and beyond. I knew I could turn to her if I needed anything knowing that the event was in good hands as the evening progressed. Since we hired multiple vendors independently, the group needed organization and direction - Zoe was the guiding leader for our night. We had some unexpected challenges, she managed it all so well and prevented us from having any stress with a completely level headed and professional demeanor. I found that her communication style before, during, and after the event was thorough, caring, and honest. During our planning call, she showed in multiple ways that she cared about what we wanted out of the day and intended to really help us achieve the correct vibe. She was truly a pleasure to work with and recommendations were wonderful. Our friends are raving about the event and so are we. I do really accredit this to Zoe and the energy she brought to coordinating our event. I HIGHLY recommend Zuzu Collective. Thank you for everything, Zoe!

I could not recommend Glennie and her team more! They worked behind the scenes to make everything run smoothly during our wedding and leading up to the event! From creating group chats with our entourage for open communication to creating a minute by minute schedule of the event. She was PERFECT! She also coordinated with all vendors and helped solve problems without having to involve my husband and I!

From the moment we met Sandra, we knew our wedding would be a dream come true. She listened to every idea/thought/wish—and somehow brought it all together into the most beautiful day we could’ve imagined. It wasn’t just about planning. She was our creative director, our sounding board, our voice of calm in stressful moments—and honestly, our friend. The wedding day being the most stressful day of your life? Never heard of her. Sandra made it easy, flawless, and well executed. I didn’t stress because I knew she had everything under control. My mom kept calling her JLo all night long. If you’re looking for a planner who will go above and beyond, who will care about your day as much as you do, and who will make the entire journey fun and meaningful— Savvy Weddings is the one. Truly the best decision we made!

I am a lifetime Central Coast resident, born and raised in Templeton. I have spent most of my career in the hospitality industry. It wasn't until I started a job in catering management that I realized I had a passion for weddings. I continued doing catering management for 2 years, and then I started assisting all of my favorite wedding planners for 2 years. Most recently I landed a job in Venue Management and that is when I knew I wanted my own wedding planning business. In my free time I love to go hiking, lift weights and spend time with my family, including our 4 rescue pups. I look forward to meeting you!

From our very first interaction with Sara, it was clear that we were in great hands. She and her team were both professional and personable, with an exceptional attention to detail that truly brought our wedding vision to life. They seamlessly handled all the personal decor items we provided and collaborated beautifully with our other vendors to ensure everything came together flawlessly. Sara is truly the best, and I would work with her again in a heartbeat. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made, our wedding day would not have run nearly as smoothly without her expert coordination. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

We had such a great experience! Our chaperone, Michele, was amazing — super professional, kind, and made us feel totally at ease. She sent us tons of cute pictures and updates, and it was so clear our dog was having the best time. It’s such a relief knowing our pup was in such good hands. Highly recommend Michele and Lavender Crown!

Welcome and congratulations on your engagement! You’re here because you already have a good handle on the planning process and just need a calm, organized and fun person to ensure everything comes together seamlessly. That’s me! Hi, I’m Patricia. As a former Executive Assistant it was easy to transition to becoming a Wedding Coordinator. I traded managing CEOs and their schedules for managing couples and theirs! I’ve been in the wedding industry since 2006, starting with designing invitations and full planning to where I am now.

Honestly. Patricia was fabulous. As the Mother of the Bride, I watched her handle vendors, last minute surprises, and all of our guests with Grace and Professionalism. I never experienced any anxiety and knew that she had absolutely everything under control. My husband and I arrived before anyone else and watched as she seamlessly made sure that everything was done as planned. Her presence was barely noticeable except when needed and then she would almost magically appear anticipating the need. I am so impressed with her skills and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to my closest friends and family.
