We believe the best celebrations aren’t just beautiful, they’re meaningful. They’re the moments when families come together, friends reconnect, and memories are made that people will talk about for years. Planning an event can quickly become overwhelming. Between coordinating vendors, managing timelines, & handling all the little details, it’s easy for couples to spend more time worrying about logistics than enjoying the experience. That’s where we come in!

From our first conversation, we knew Golden Events was the right choice for us. Their communication was prompt and thorough every step of the way, which made the planning process feel smooth and stress-free. On our wedding day, the team showed up as the glue that held everything together—they were organized, calm, and executed every detail perfectly. What impressed us most was how relaxed they seemed despite managing so much behind the scenes, and how their kindness put us and our guests at ease. They functioned like a well-oiled machine, communicating seamlessly with each other to make sure nothing fell through the cracks. We can't thank Golden Events enough for making our day exactly what we dreamed it would be.

Topaz & Pearl Weddings and Events 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Offers 4 services

  • Serves Des Moines, WA

Hi, I’m Bridget! I’m here to make planning your dream wedding easy and fun. At Topaz & Pearl Weddings and Events, I specialize in seamless, unforgettable celebrations with personalized care. With over a decade of experience in event planning and hospitality, I thrive on turning ideas into a perfectly orchestrated plan. I fell in love with weddings while planning my own—but my one regret was not hiring a planner! Now, I’m here to ensure your day is stress-free, stunning, and uniquely you.

Where do I even begin? Hiring her was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. From day one, Bridget truly thought of everything. Every detail, every deadline, every moving part — she had it covered. She walked us through every step and had amazing advice. When our venue unexpectedly canceled on us just two months before the wedding, we were completely overwhelmed. She immediately went into action mode, pivoted seamlessly, and helped us secure a new plan without missing a beat. What could have been a disaster turned into just another hurdle she expertly handled. We were based in San Francisco, and she is based in the greater Seattle area — and distance was never an issue. She scheduled calls whenever we needed, reached out to vendors, and followed up consistently to keep everyone aligned. She even flew down to SF twice during the planning process and then arrived early the week of the wedding to make sure everything was perfectly in place. That level of dedication meant the world to us. She reminded us about payments and deadlines and caught so many little things we absolutely would have forgotten. Her organization and proactive communication gave us so much peace of mind throughout the entire process. One thing that meant so much to me personally was how supportive she was of my DIY projects. She encouraged me to be creative and never once made me feel like I was adding extra work. I know some planners prefer to limit DIY elements, but she fully embraced them — and then set everything up absolutely perfectly. Every detail looked even better than I imagined. I truly think that level of flexibility and support is rare. On the wedding day, she struck the perfect balance of being flexible while still keeping us right on schedule. Any issue that came up was handled calmly and professionally — we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. All vendors were well-informed, coordinated, and prepared. She even created and printed a detailed binder with everything from schedules and song lists to seating charts — the level of preparation was incredible. We are beyond grateful for her. She is not only an amazing planner but an even better person. Her calm presence, organization, and genuine care made all the difference. I truly cannot sing her praises enough. If you’re wondering whether she can handle your wedding, no matter your location, the answer is absolutely yes. She flawlessly executed our day, and we would choose Bridget again in a heartbeat.

We are here to support you through all the decisions and creative visions that come with the wedding planning process. We are inclusive of all couples and all love stories.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Finn was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. If you're wondering whether a planner/coordinator is worth it, the answer is yes. Having Finn meant we, our family, and our wedding party could truly enjoy the day instead of answering questions or worrying about logistics. As someone who plans events professionally, I know how much coordination goes into pulling off a successful event—and weddings are in a league of their own. From our first conversation, it was clear that Finn was experienced, organized, and confident. She immediately put us at ease. Although we hired Finn as a day-of coordinator, she provided so much more than day-of support. Throughout the planning process, she answered countless questions, communicated with vendors, created our timeline, reviewed the venue's plans to catch details and potential issues, offered thoughtful recommendations, and truly served as our advocate every step of the way. She also has a helpful collection of planning resources, vendor recommendations, officiant guidance, and rental items. She even offered to pick up our wedding cakes for us! Finn ran our rehearsal and wedding day seamlessly. She made sure everyone was prepared, everything stayed on schedule, and every behind-the-scenes detail was handled without us needing to think about it. She also helped my brother prepare to officiate his first wedding, taking the time to walk him through everything beforehand so he felt comfortable. What impressed me most was her demeanor. Weddings are fast-paced and unpredictable, and Finn remained calm, kind, cheerful, and collected throughout the day. She treated us, our family, wedding party, and guests with genuine warmth and professionalism. Several guests even commented on how wonderful she was. That's a rare quality and one that made such a difference in the overall experience. I've been to weddings where vendors are visibly stressed and short with guests, and you don't need to worry about that with Finn. Our wedding day went so smoothly because of Finn, and we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. I truly can't recommend her enough -- she is exactly the person you want in your corner on one of the biggest days of your life.

I'm Brittney Blondino, a Certified Wedding Planner based in Kirkland, WA. Since 2018, I've worked with couples from Portland to Seattle and the 16 markets between them. Bells Bows and Vows is small by design. I limit the weddings I take each year to protect the quality of my work and the experience my couples have — from the first planning conversation to the last dance. Eight years in this market means my vendor network is built on real relationships, not referral directories. When I recommend someone, it's because I've worked alongside them. That matters when a wedding day calls for a fast, quiet pivot.

Awarded Best of Zola
Bells Bows and Vows is truly a top-tier wedding planning company. Brittney and her team are detailed, dedicated, and always go above and beyond to ensure their clients' visions come to life. Their communication style is impeccable, and they work tirelessly to make sure all vendors are seamlessly coordinated as a cohesive team. I know that when Bells Bows and Vows is involved, we're guaranteed to have a wonderful, stress-free wedding day. Brittney is one of my favorite planners to work with, and I highly recommend their services to any couple planning their special day.

Hiring Victoria was the best decision we could have made for the success of our wedding! VEVENTS was our venue's preferred day-of coordinator, and we understood why after our first meeting. Victoria is organized, capable, approachable, and really knows her stuff. She's also just plain fun! Every meeting felt like a discussion with a (very efficient) friend. She offered ways we could bring our wedding vision to life, recommended vendors that fit our needs and values, and gave us real talk about how to prioritize and allocate our budget. We opted for a mini planning package in addition to day-of coordination, and I'm so glad we did. I'm very particular about details, and Victoria was the right person to handle much of the coordination leading up to the wedding. I felt comfortable and confident knowing Victoria was our main point of contact for our vendors in advance and on the day of the wedding. Everything seemed to run smoothly the whole evening, and I was so happy Victoria was there to make sure we were on schedule and where we needed to be at the right time.

Every success story has its humble beginnings, and mine was no different. My entry into wedding planning kicked off in a hospitality business management class, where an offer from my professor led me to the world of wedding catering and bartending. This experience sparked a passion for event design, starting with small events and naturally progressing to weddings, where I found my true calling in creating unforgettable celebrations. What started as a one-woman show has blossomed into a badass team, dedicated to ditching the conventional and embracing, well, everything that you stand for as a couple.

If I could give one piece of advice for your wedding planning, it would be to hire Tosha! I couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner. Over the past year, she was a kind and calming presence. We hired her for both design and coordination, and my only regret is not finding her sooner. She took my vision and created something even more beautiful than I could have imagined. From dealing with vendor issues and anxiety to navigating life events and mini breakdowns, Tosha was there every step of the way. Our regular check-ins made the planning process much more manageable and enjoyable. After each meeting, I thought, “Wow, I’m so glad I found her!” Our actual wedding day was the least stressful part, which to me, is a testimony of how incredible of a wedding planner Tosha truly is. She perfectly managed the timeline, handled venue challenges, and made the day truly wonderful. I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with her and cannot recommend her enough.

Kiira is a super star! She has very calm energy, worked very hard the day of our wedding, and was a delight to work with. We hired her for our day of coordination and she gave us a great document set to help us with our planning. I appreciated the monthly calls with her the few months leading up to the wedding to make sure we were on track. She set up our reception just the way I envisioned and it let me relax with my mom and bridesmaids on our wedding day. I loved that Kiira has a small inventory of items that we could borrow so we didn’t have to buy things (votives, picture frames, fun neon sign) just for one day but that could help elevate our wedding. I would 100% use Evergreen Event Co again and have already recommended her to another bride.

We hired Eva as our partial wedding planner about a year out from our date. We had the venue booked (actually found Eva through our venue!) but she helped us sort out the rest of our vendors. We had a couple of calls to get to know each other, for her to learn our style and what we were looking for. Then Eva gave us a month by month task list to break down the overwhelming-ness of planning a wedding into manageable chunks. She researched vendors, reached out on behalf when requested, and sent us reminders to kept the process moving. Leading up to the wedding she joined calls with the DJ and caterer to make sure we were all on the same page and directed all our vendors on where they needed to be when. Each call I just felt so thankful we had someone to make sure nothing fell through the cracks. The day of our wedding went so incredibly smoothly and Eva did an amazing job. I didn't even see the venue until I was walking down the aisle and got to have a peaceful, fun day because Eva took care of everything. I 100% recommend her!

These are just a few of the things my guests said to me on our wedding day, and they weren’t exaggerating. Candice created the most breathtaking floral arrangements I’ve ever seen.

Our team is kind and professional. It's our joy to provide high quality services for every aspect of your event, and we have great relationships with trusted local vendors. We love events, but not the ones you're used to. You make the rules! Keep only the traditional event elements that have meaning to you. Make new traditions! Let us help you make your event as unique as you are.

Our original planner ghosted us and we still had so much to do before the wedding. I'm grateful that Grace was able to help so last minute, she did a great job coordinating the rest of the details. The Withing Company also provided our DJ, officiant, and MC. It turned out better than we hoped!

Flawlessly executing wedding plans with passion, elegance, and attention to every detail that makes your day unforgettable. Led by a skilled wedding coordinator who prides himself on flawlessly executing wedding plans. My passion lies in managing large groups efficiently, enjoying the glam of fancy clothes, champagne toasts, and dancing.

I am hands down so happy I hired joe to coordinate our wedding. I had zero worries about vendors being on schedule, he was there for every question and help I needed, he had no problem kindly instructing guests to and from the ceremony. He even made a poster with the event timeline and a driftwood with our last name on it that fit the theme perfectly! I didn’t plan for it but he brought bubbles for guests to use while we exited the ceremony and it worked so perfectly! He also gifted us an emergency kit with little travel sized goodies to keep us fresh for the whole day (I.e. deodorant, chapstick, mouthwash, etc) Joe is incredibly professional and met with us on several occasions to organize and plan. I would hire Joe again in a heartbeat, he’s not just great at what he does but also has the funnest personality! Such a pleasure working with him, would 12/10 recommend him for your wedding!

Hi, I’m Dionne, owner and lead planner of Dionne Events. For more than 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping couples celebrate some of life’s most meaningful moments. I believe weddings should feel personal, intentional, and stress-free. My passion is creating celebrations that reflect each couple’s unique story while allowing them to be fully present on their wedding day. From intimate gatherings to full-service weddings, I approach every event with creativity, organization, and genuine care.

From start to finish, Dionne Events kept us in the loop about every detail with our vendors, which made planning feel so much less stressful. Dionne is hands down one of the best planners in the country because she takes her work seriously and truly cares about making your day special. She managed our RSVPs, menu choices, flowers, and honestly tackled things we didn't even realize we needed to think about. Her eye for detail and thoughtful approach gave us complete peace of mind knowing our event was in very capable hands. The quality of her work is top tier and worth every penny. We can't recommend Dionne Events highly enough.

Hi, I'm Caroline! I was born and raised in Washington state. I live near Seattle with my husband of three years and goldendoodle puppy named Otis. Growing up, one of my dreams was to be in the wedding industry. I have always loved everything about weddings.

Caroline was super professional and kind! We were nervous and clueless leading up to the wedding but she always met us where we were at to keep us on track. Our questions about timelines and vendors were met with kindness and knowledge (ie with zero judgement ). She works efficiently to know her couples well and problem solve - the month and day of the wedding went way smoother than expected! I was definitely underprepared but Caroline saved me so many times. All of our decorations and settings were set up the way we asked! She has such a good eye for what will look good and made it all happen without us having to worry the day of. All to say, it was so worth the investment for her long experience and wide network in the industry. She knows how to deal with tough vendors, intense family, and unexpected fires. all of which freaked me out. We had a tight budget but knew coordinator can make/break the big day. Plus we ended up saving money thanks to her help! Words cannot express our gratitude to Caroline,

Daybreak Wellness offers full and half-day retreats in the Seattle metro area with renowned healers. We focus on mindfulness, joy and connection, and would love to work with you to create a unique bachelorette party.

The thing I love about Daybreak is that it's just a day. It's not a weekend away. That's actually too stressful to organize with a busy family and full-time plus job. But I carved out a few hours for self-care and it was great. The energy was welcoming and light. The food was amazing, and the healers were engaging. I left feeling renewed and energized to face the next day.
