Concord, CA

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.

2 Friends Events was established in 2010 by...2 Friends! Lindsey and I met as co-maids of honor in our friend Wendi's wedding. We loved working together, so we decided to take a chance and start our own event planning company. Lindsay has since retired to be with her family and I now run 2 Friends Events with the help of my amazing team.

There is no question that choosing 2 Friends Events as our wedding planner was the best decision we made throughout the process. (And of course, we made a lot of other smart and delightful decisions thanks to the 2FE team!) From our first call through the week after our wedding, Nichole and her team provided us constant support, seamless logistics and research, and brought so much joy to the planning process. As our planner, Nichole listened, helped keep us focused on what we said was important to us, and was always five steps ahead with her proactivity and organization. And my goodness, did she bring our vision to life! Everything from it being colorful and vibrant to finding an ADA friendly venue to incorporating our dog and favorite beverage Spindrift to herding us all on the wedding day (no strong feat!). Last but not least, each person we interacted with was just kind and a good human being. When we had a family crisis the weeks leading up to the wedding, she immediately helped pull together contingency plans. We couldn’t have been more grateful for everything they did for us. Thank you, Nichole and team! Trust us, you won’t regret choosing 2 Friends Events.

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.

My approach is rooted in thoughtful planning, attention to detail, and creating an experience that feels effortless for my couples. From the initial vision to the final moments of the celebration, I’m there to bring the pieces together, anticipate the details, and ensure nothing gets overlooked.

Awarded Best of Zola
My florals were my absolute favorite décor element from my entire wedding. They made me so happy because they were absolutely perfect, and I credit that entirely to Amanda’s dedication and collaboration with Emporio, the preferred floral vendor at Hard Rock Los Cabos. Florals were the wedding detail I cared about the most, and they also caused me the most worry. They hold such a special place in my heart because I believe they truly accentuate the beauty of a wedding. From the moment Amanda stepped in, she eased all my anxieties. She was dedicated, focused, and meticulous in her attention to detail. She was assertive in communicating my needs to the vendor, efficient in coordinating every step, proactive in addressing potential challenges, and direct in making sure my vision was honored exactly as I imagined. Her strong and trusted relationship with Emporio made all the difference. They clearly respect and value her, which ensured flawless execution and also saved me thousands of dollars. That kind of value comes from her experience, credibility, and deep commitment to her clients. Because of Amanda, my my most treasured design element was in the very best hands. If you have the opportunity to work with her, I recommend it wholeheartedly. She is worth every penny and more.

AWE Planner

  • Offers 5 services

  • Serves Concord, 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.

Jenn is amazing! We booked her "A Little Bit of Help" package but truly got so much more than advertised. From the start, she helped us stay on track with booking vendors, planning logistics, and did a walk through of our venues to help us create our dream wedding. She also helped us research vendors within our price range (I highly recommend the taqueria she connected us with in the area!). Jenn was available at all times via text and email, which made the planning process feel effortless. She has an extensive inventory of décor items that we were able to borrow, including table signs, centerpiece vases, sign easels, photo frames, a gift card box, and more. On top of that, she is an expert florist who brought our vision to life through stunning church arrangements, bouquets, and centerpieces. On the wedding day, Jenn was calm, level-headed, and quick on her feet. She seamlessly managed our large and lively Asian family during a long photography session and kept everyone happy. She also created a detailed timeline, coordinated with all our vendors, and kept everything running smoothly. Thanks to her, we truly felt like guests at our own wedding -- something we didn't think was possible. If you want a coordinator who is organized, creative, professional, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect, Jenn is the one.

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.

When unexpected things came up (as they always do!), Cynthia handled them with grace and quick thinking, adjusting both the timeline and details seamlessly without ever needing to stress me out.

I've led events at LinkedIn and Culinary Artistas, and collaborated with some of the nation's top luxury wedding planners.

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!

I am a 'hands-on' Wedding and Events Coordinator that goes above and beyond my client's expectations. I take pride in what I do and ensure that everyone from my Bride and Groom or Host, their guests, and even their hired vendors are taken care of throughout the celebration.

We had a fantastic experience working with Elizabeth. She was the day-of-coordinator for our 150-person wedding in Oakland, CA in May 2023. The day before, and the day of our wedding went so smoothly thanks to her and her assistant Rachel. We were so grateful for her expertise and support – she did so much for us on the day of the wedding, and I’m certain she was doing things behind the scenes that we didn’t even know about that kept everyone and everything running perfectly, and on time. We confirmed our date with Elizabeth 9 months out, found and signed contracts with the rest of our vendors, and then started communicating with her again a few months out. She helped us with our timeline, got us thinking about quite a few things we hadn’t thought of, and then a few weeks before the wedding, we had a seamless handover. She helped our vision come to life, was very calming and kind, had great communication with the rest of our vendors, and we can’t recommend her enough.

And on the day-of she put out sooo many fires- unexpected guests showing up, adding an extra reception table, grabbing the vows that I forgot in the car last minute, coordinating with all the vendors. And every event was exactly on time and perfectly smooth. Even if you're doing a mostly DIY or budget wedding- day-of coordination is sooo worth it and I highly recommend Perfection Unlimited. They're super professional, calm, and kind. So grateful to their team for all their hard work.

Our wedding planner was an absolute lifesaver! The venue attempted to change the location of our reception just five weeks before the wedding. She immediately led the charge to make sure the venue honored our contract, advocating for us every step of the way. Throughout the entire planning process, she went above and beyond, always having our backs and fighting for us when needed. Her dedication and attention to detail kept everything running smoothly, handling every challenge flawlessly. We truly couldn’t be happier with her support and would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone planning their special day!

I am the founder of Elegance Unleashed, specializing in thoughtful, design-forward weddings with a strong focus on seamless execution. With a background in program management, I bring structure, clarity, and a calm, organized presence to every celebration, ensuring each moment feels intentional and flows effortlessly from start to finish.

Choosing Evelyn and the team at Elegance Unleashed was hands-down the best decision we made for our wedding. From day one, Evelyn was incredibly organized, flexible, and empathetic to our stress levels. She kept us on track with tasks, was entirely open to our vision, and has an exceptional eye for design. She brought so much creativity to our decor—even pulling from her own personal resources to elevate our venue far beyond what we had originally planned. She is also deeply thoughtful, catching countless tiny logistics we never would have thought of and even sending sweet notes and small gifts at the 1-month and 1-week milestones. The day-of execution was completely flawless. Thanks to Evelyn’s tight communication with our vendors, our timeline ran perfectly and we started the ceremony exactly to the minute. I didn't feel a single ounce of stress all day because I completely trusted her. She and her amazing assistants, Bianca and Anahi, handled absolutely everything from arrival through end-of-night take-down. Evelyn and her team are professional, brilliant at what they do, and genuinely FUN to work with. We would recommend Elegance Unleashed to anyone without a single shred of hesitation!

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.

Truly could not possibly say enough good things about Ty. She went above and beyond from a month through the day after our wedding. We hired her as our micro wedding day of coordinator in Santa Rosa, and she had so many suggestions we never would’ve thought of and took SO much stress off of me. Because we wanted to get married in my husband’s grandparents’ backyard, have a dinner party-style reception at a restaurant, and then bowling as an after-party, there were quite a lot of moving parts and location changes Ty immediately jumped in to make feel seamless for us and our guests. She found us the best shuttle, figured out so many reception details, and continually updated an extremely detailed timeline down to the minute that I would’ve been lost without. Multiple wedding guests not only raved about her to me and my husband, but also complimented her throughout our wedding. The real icing on the cake? We didn’t hire a videographer and we woke up on our wedding morning to 150 videos she had taken throughout our entire day on a shared album. She is so sweet, so amazingly detailed, and the absolute best combo of personable and a little bossy at the exact perfect moments when I really needed someone to take charge. Thank you, Ty! Our wedding day wouldn’t have been anything close to what it was without you.
