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 worked with Mary though Finn Events and we truly cannot speak highly enough about her! We had to make an emergency venue change 5 days before our wedding, and Mary truly went above and beyond anything we expected. She was so calm, supportive, and communicative during a difficult situation, and pulled off a breathtaking wedding while minimizing our stress. She listened to our priorities, and her work allowed us to relax and just take in all the special moments. In particular, we were also very impressed with her people management – both with our friends/family and our vendors. Mary was fantastic in helping make sure all our guests were taken care and in the right place/right time while keeping all of our vendors coordinated with the last minute changes in our venue. There is no one else we would have wanted on our side, especially in what became a chaotic last-minute situation!!! She additionally has such a great eye for design, and helped us come up with an amazing creative vision for our wedding. We didn’t have a clear idea of what we wanted our wedding to look like, and Mary put together décor and table settings that were gorgeous and perfectly fit the vibes we were hoping for. Mary is a magic worker, and we wholeheartedly recommend her for any event.”

*SEE WEBSITE FOR FULL SERVICE OPTIONS & DETAILS* 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.

“We're a photography team and had the pleasure of working with Brittney at two weddings this year. Her exceptional organization, clear communication, and eagerness to step in wherever needed made the days run seamlessly for everyone, including us. Brittney contacted us almost two months in advance to discuss the timelines and ensure we had the chance to express any specific photography needs. This proactive approach is invaluable, and we truly appreciated it. Brittney's attention to detail was impressive; she asked all the right questions and had clear, thoughtful answers to ours. On the day of the weddings, she went above and beyond, demonstrating not only her skill but also genuine care for the couple and their special day. Even with meticulous planning, weddings can be chaotic, but Brittney handled every challenge with grace and efficiency. If you're a couple looking for someone who embodies these qualities, Brittney is the perfect choice.”

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 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.”

Hi. My name is Eva, great to meet you! Thinking of trusting me with planning your event? Here is a little about me. I am a Vashon Island native, former Chicago dweller and currently live with my husband and two wild boys in West Seattle. I have 10 years of experience of planning + managing gatherings for as little as 20 and as many as 500. From intimate benefactor dinners to elegant fundraisers to festive and modern weddings, I have been involved in just about every aspect of an event that you can think of.

Awarded Best of Zola
“I chose Gather Cheer after a suggestion from our venue and then in reading her reviews I literally teared up at the way clients described how her services made their dreams come true. And here I am on the other side of Eva’s amazing service, still feeling emotional every time I think of how much care she put into our day and how perfect it all turned out, thanks to her. From the moment we met her and handed over my vision for my wedding (which I had specifically in my mind but was bad at communicating and was nervous I wouldn’t be able to give up control and have a “stranger” deliver) she made me feel seen and understood and completely at ease. She feels like an old friend while being patient, calm, kind and understanding. If you’re worried about being able to hand over control of your vision and taste, or having to work so closely with a stranger, or if you worry about how your big day will feel - do yourself a favor and choose Gather Cheer. She executed my vision perfectly, made me feel at ease through the entire process, and delivered on the day of my dreams I never thought possible. I can’t say enough about how truly impressed and grateful I am for Eva and the service she provided to us. My day would not have been the dream-come-true that it was without her. I can’t recommend her enough and can only imagine that anyone who chooses her for planning important events will come away feeling the same.”

What started as a passion for creating beautiful celebrations has grown into something I’m incredibly proud of. I have been planning and coordinating events for 12 years, and in 2018, I officially turned that passion into my own business, K&L Events. I’ve had the incredible opportunity to be part of so many important moments in people’s lives. For me, event planning has never been just about putting together a pretty table or making sure everything looks good in photos. It’s about creating an experience and helping people celebrate the moments that matter most.

“I'm the father of a bride who had her wedding in August of this year. She had originally planned her wedding by herself. When her venue abruptly went out of business 6 months prior to her wedding date, her life was thrown into chaos. My wife and I had recently retired so we offered to hire her a wedding planner and it was the best decision we made. I quickly did some research to find the best wedding planners. I called venues and asked for their top three list, then read through lots of reviews. The same 5-6 names kept showing up so I called them all and quickly narrowed it down to 3. Erica was our top choice and we were so lucky that she was willing to go out of her way to work with my daughter on such short notice. She quickly jumped into action and called my daughter (who was understandably upset) and was so kind and supportive of her. She first helped her secure a great venue. Unfortunately the original date had to be changed and Erica worked with my daughter to rearrange vendors and reorganize what had to be done. Incidentally we had just attended two weddings prior to our daughters so we were able to watch their wedding planners in action. As the day of the wedding arrived, it was obvious that Erica was so much more polished, professional, and prepared than these other planners. When we arrived at the venue, it was clear that they were behind schedule. Erica immediately took charge and lit a fire under them so things got whipped into shape. But she did it in such a way that created calm out of chaos and didn't distract from the specialness of the day. Through out the rest of the day and evening, she was always there when you needed her and her attention to detail was amazing. The venue itself was multi level. She could have easily coasted after a while but I observed Erica moving decorations and flowers from the upper floors to the lower floors just to make them look more festive. When midnight hit and we went to clean up, Erica had already arranged the flowers, vases and decorations in boxes, so most of the hard work was already done. Erica is a consummate professional and a tireless worker. Even more importantly she is kind and supportive and really cares about making the day special. Thanks to her my daughter was able to have her dream wedding and we can't thank her enough!”

“We truly had the best experience with Nancy and Emily and are so thankful we had them there for our wedding! From all of the check-ins and phone calls leading up to the wedding to everything they did behind the scenes on the actual day, I always felt like I had someone to reach out to with questions and that everything was being taken care of. Having them there on our wedding day allowed us to actually be present and enjoy everything without worrying about all of the little details. Everything came together so beautifully, and it was such a good feeling knowing that Nancy and Emily were there making sure everything was where it needed to be and the day was running smoothly. I also have to give a special shoutout to Emily for making my macaron tower cake dreams come to life!! I had such a specific vision in my head for it, and she made it happen exactly how I imagined. Seeing it all set up at the reception made me so happy, and it ended up being one of my favorite little details from the day. I really appreciated how kind, helpful, and easy to work with they both were throughout the entire process. Looking back, I’m so glad we had Simply Celebrations & Events as part of our wedding and would absolutely recommend Nancy and Emily to anyone planning their wedding. Thank you both again for helping make our day so special!!”

“[TLDR: Trust me when I say the dynamic duo of Candice & Christopher cannot be matched. If you've found your way here to their page, do yourselves a favor and book them. You will be so happy you did.] Candice and Christopher are hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. I can't imagine having gone through that experience without them. They are the definition of what it means to go above and beyond. We booked them for our wedding on San Juan Island in July 2022. There are thousands of things we could list here on why we'd choose Candice & Christopher over and over again, but here are just a few that scratch the surface. Going above & beyond for us: Our venue was a new location for Candice and Christopher. It was also huge, complicated, and it was on an island. They happily booked a trip up to the island months before our wedding date to visit the venue and learn the in's and out's before the big day. They also had to get certified to drive the golf carts at the venue. Yet again, they happily signed up for and took a golf cart training for us. These are just two examples of so many where Candice & Christopher far surpassed our expectations and found opportunities to make the extra effort to ensure our day was perfect. Advocating for us: They joined all our phone calls with vendors in the months before the wedding. When one of our vendors changed their tune on a previous agreement, Candice & Christopher spoke up to advocate for us in a way that was super collaborative with everyone involved and secured what we needed from that vendor. When grey area arose, they jumped in to create clarity and made sure all the details were sorted. Supporting us: My first steps to the aisle were down 2 small steps. As I started to walk my dress got caught under my shoes and I would've ate it if Christopher hadn't somehow appeared next to me to stealthily help me catch my balance. From miraculous physical support like this to being our all-around cheerleaders through the process, we felt incredibly supported throughout. The two of them teamed up to cover all the details of our massive (and rather particular) venue. I couldn't imagine a better team behind us to tackle that with what looked like ease and joy. I think that's something that sets them apart, the genuine joy they seem to get by creating a magical experience for an occasion they have so much love for. I have a memory of Candice smiling and grooving to the beat at the end of the night while helping wipe down a table. They truly love what they do. Trust me when I say the dynamic duo of Candice & Christopher cannot be matched. If you've found your way here to their page, do yourselves a favor and book them. You will be so happy you did.”

Events by Claire, LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Offers 7 services
  • Serves Des Moines, WA

My name is Claridel, also known as Claire. I started using my nickname Claire my freshmen year of college in hopes that it would help my self-confidence shine. I started Events by Claire after spending 12 years in the medical field. During those 12 years, I coordinated and planned multiple weddings of friends just for fun! After constant encouragement from friends and family, I decided to use my creativeness, organizational skills and passion to help people through event planning. Making this change has not only helped me stay passionate about life but it has also helped couples feel less overwhelmed when it came to their wedding.

“Events by Claire, LLC provided exceptional service leading up to and on our wedding day. Their communication style was thorough, flexible and understanding as we navigated several changes in the last couple of months before my wedding. Renting her items felt easy and stress free. I would highly recommend Events by Claire, LLC to anyone!”
