Kaci Danae Events 
Rating: 5.0 (49 reviews)
  • Planner
  • Offers 5 services
  • Serves East Palo Alto, CA

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kaci was the best!!! We had so many hurdles planning our wedding, and Kaci was there every step of the way talking us through options and eased all our anxieties. She made amazing vendor recommendations, all communication was clear and prompt, was super organized, and overall highly highly recommend her to anyone. We felt like she became more than just our wedding planner. We will truly miss working with Kaci

Awarded Best of Zola
Carlos provided wonderful service at both our engagement shoto shoot and the day of our ceremony. He started both with a quick speech on posing and posture to help everyone look their best. He brought his son as a second shooter for our ceremony, and they both mingled with our guests at the reception, getting casual shots of most of our friends and family. He provided finished photos so quickly after the event (a little over 400 photos) that we were able to send those casual shots out with the thank you cards.

Two Perfect Events was created out of a love for planning. This developed into a greater love of bringing others happiness and relief in their journey in putting together their unique and perfect events. We embrace the unconventional to plan the most fun, authentic, and take-your-breath-away wedding experiences. Two Perfect Events is an award-winning and published event design and planning studio based in the Bay Area. We also travel worldwide!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jess made my absolute dream wedding florals come true! After our initial consult, she sent me a beautifully pieced together PDF of her ideas/vision for the florals which must have taken her so much time. We discussed any changes, and then signed the contract. She was extremely responsive, flexible, and understanding throughout the entire wedding process which made my life as a bride so much easier. On the day of the wedding, she was there early and had her set-up process down to a schedule. I have to say, the florals were absolutely stunning and had my guests asking for the name of my florist. I feel that her work was truly worth more than what I paid for and I appreciate everything that she did so much. I don't know how to give more than 5 stars but I would if I could!

I was blown away by Karyssa's work! She really took our design requests and went way beyond our expectations. My husband and I love plants and had very specific, more unique flowers we wanted to incorporate into our wedding and Karyssa did a great job at a fair price. The colors were perfect. She was also super sweet and professional and accommodated my request to get bulk stems so my bridesmaids and I could make our own bouquets. Would absolutely book again.

I am so glad I chose Adrianne to do my makeup for my big day. She was so easy-going, kind, and easy to communicate with, and she listened to all my questions and concerns about makeup. I usually wear little to no makeup, which left me at ease and looking my best on my big day! She was able to give me a very natural but beautiful look, which was exactly what I wanted! She came over for a makeup trial and really solidified my look for the wedding. We were able to figure out where I would need more moisturizer and coverage for my drier spots, which really helped for the day. My makeup also lasted all day, even with dancing well into the night. I would 100% recommend her services to anyone and will keep her in mind for any future makeup services I may need :)

We're so glad we found the Los Altos History Museum for our wedding! The venue was perfect for an outdoor reception with 170 guests. The space is well enclosed with lots of beautiful greenery. The orchard in the back was a perfect spot for portraits during golden hour. The museum wedding coordinator Lisa was responsive, accommodating, knowledgeable, and had lots of great suggestions to make the day flow smoothly. They also let us store supplies at the venue the week leading up to the wedding which was very helpful. The bathrooms are the weakest part of this venue. They're clean but not the nicest and a little hard to find for guests. On the whole a great venue and made for a really special day. Would recommend!

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.

With over a decade of experience as a floral designer in the San Francisco Bay Area, I’ve had the honor of contributing to hundreds of weddings and events. My mission is to create stunning, high-quality floral arrangements that not only delight the eyes but also touch the heart. I aim to craft beautiful, meaningful spaces that reflect your unique story and celebrate life’s extraordinary moments with beauty and significance, all while offering great value to every client. Thank you for considering Fanfare Florals. Together, let’s create memories that will bloom forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a lot of amazing vendors for our wedding, but Fanfare Florals definitely stood out. It's hard to put into words why exactly, but everything about Fan exudes a level of trust and care that made her feel like family. The entire planning process was warm, casual, and easy. We're not the best at giving specific instructions and changed our minds 3 or 4 times about the bouquet design, so we tended to put our trust in Fan. She gave us welcome advice on re-purposing arrangements, our centerpieces, candle heights etc., and budget-friendly alternatives that got us exactly what we wanted (and more)! She paid close attention to the fact that peonies are my wife's favorite flower and the peonies were as lush and large as our faces! We're still receiving compliments about our wedding florals. Whether you know exactly how you want your flowers to look, down to the petal ratio - or you're like us and basically said "we like the wildflower vibe, peonies, and these colors," Fan will exceed your expectations. Beyond the stunning flowers, we especially appreciated Fan's warmth on the wedding day. It was oddly comforting to see her in the background, in her adorable hat, working away. It was like one moment we saw her unloading flowers from her car, and the next you're surrounded by enchanting floral arches saying "I Do". Amidst the chaos of your wedding day, she even took special effort to say goodbye to us before her departure. I was so thankful for that moment, as I didn't get the chance to meet and personally thank all of our vendors - and your vendors really are such an important part of your wedding. Right after the wedding, I found myself asking my wife, 'Fan does smaller events, right?' because I really cannot wait for the next special occasion so we can call upon the talent and warmth of Fan and her team!

All inclusive was the best way to go! Jennifer and Priscilla was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Even when I added a bunch of things last minute. They were able to help with all my questions. The venue is stunning and packaged vendors were just wonderful. This was my dream wedding. If I could change anything it would be to allow the food to stay out all night or just longer than 90 minutes. Also, if I could have gotten into the bridal suite to actually get my makeup done that would have been a nice touch. But that’s minor. The suite was lovely and spacious enough for my immediate family to do our touch ups and change. The drinks were nice and strong. This was the best day ever!

We had such an amazing experience with our catering team for our wedding! Carla, the owner, was incredibly kind, patient, and so easy to talk to. From day one, she was communicative and very flexible with all the requests I had, which made the entire planning process so much less stressful. One thing we truly appreciated was that they even delivered food to our home during our tastings--it made everything so convenient. The food was already amazing during the tastings, but it was even more incredible on our wedding day. All of our guests couldn't stop raving about how delicious everything was! Carla and her team provided exceptional service from start to finish. They were also the only catering team we found who packed up all the leftovers for us, which meant so much since our family stayed at the venue--we got to continue enjoying the food even after the wedding. They also created our wedding cake, which was absolutely beautiful and delicious. We also ordered the raspberry no-bake cheesecake (which I sadly didn't get to try!), but based on how quickly everything disappeared, it was clearly a hit. We only had a few slices of cake left, which says a lot about how much our guests loved everything. We are beyond grateful for Carla and her team for making our wedding day so special. We will definitely be booking them again for future events--highly recommend!

They are very professional and worked really well with our photography team as well! We absolutely love our video and all of the bonuses that his team included! We can’t wait to watch these videos for years to come and relive our favorite day!

First off we want to give a huge shout out to Emily, our coordinator. She was extremely professional, personable with us and our wedding party, and just made us feel like we could relax and enjoy our day. She handled the bride's stress with decorations on the rehearsal day with such grace and really put me at ease, she made sure we got the dip down for the ceremony, and we loved how well she got along with everyone right away and was able to establish trust quickly: getting in on our inside jokes early and even taking a bridesmaid's baby so she could go get her food. Tony, our banquet captain was very sweet and made sure we got to do all the things we asked for in our reception and that went smoothly. He always made sure I had a fresh drink :) Diego and Krystal were great bartenders! Diego was very popular amongst our guests and was really nice. Javier and Alessandro in the kitchen were great, we only heard raving reviews about the food. We loved the food as well, especially because we were concerned because at the extravaganza event earlier, we did not really like the food as much. So we were relieved the food was so good. DJ Brian was so great too! He was super nice and positive in our meeting through the event. We especially appreciate his effort with playing the video to surprise my dad. The servers (Gisselle, Lucas, Kennia, and Nate) were great as well and made sure we had drinks and apps and the guests said they did well. Kelli, Tiffany, and Melissa were also good. I appreciated the quick response every time I texted about a question or a change. They would call me right away. That helped planning tremendously and made me feel like I was in good hands.

I cannot recommend Bellissima Music highly enough. They performed for my engagement proposal this past Saturday, and they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Throughout the planning process, they were incredibly helpful, responsive, and easy to work with. I had a specific vision for the atmosphere I wanted to create, and they took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for. Their guidance and professionalism made the entire process stress-free. One thing that really stood out was the music curation. I provided a list of songs that were meaningful to my fiancée and me, and Bellissima Music helped shape a setlist that was absolutely perfect. The song selections and transitions felt natural and created the exact mood I had hoped for. Hearing those songs performed live on violin made the moment even more special and memorable. My fiancee was in tears hearing the music and others at the winery came up to us asking questions about them/where did I find them. On the day of the proposal, everything was executed flawlessly. They eased my nerves of the proposal. Their performance added an elegant and emotional touch that elevated the entire experience, and several of our family members commented on how beautiful the music was. Thank you, Bellissima Music, for helping create one of the most important and unforgettable moments of our lives. I am incredibly grateful for your talent, professionalism, and attention to detail.

From the moment we started planning our wedding at The Ranch at Silver Creek by Wedgewood Weddings, the staff was incredibly attentive, responsive, and open to collaborating with us. Their expertise and knowledge of the venue and the wedding planning process took a lot of the stress off of us. The property itself is absolutely beautiful, with multiple areas that allowed us to get creative and make the space our own. On the day of the wedding, the staff kept us informed about the windy weather and offered helpful suggestions, ensuring everything ran smoothly. I would highly recommend this Wedgewood Weddings location to anyone looking for a stunning venue with an amazing team to support them through the entire wedding planning journey.

The moments you remember most aren’t usually the ones that were planned. My approach is documentary-driven and unhurried, focused on connection, movement, and the quiet in-between moments that tend to mean the most later. I work best with couples who value presence over perfection and want images that feel honest, intimate, and timeless. Whether your day is big or small, traditional or unconventional, my goal is to create space for you to be fully yourselves — and to tell your story as it naturally unfolds.

Sharyce was amazing from the first phone call we had. Sharyce quickly became not only our photographer but a confidant and friend. She traveled from CA to WI to shoot our wedding and she was worth every single penny! Her kindness, leadership, eye for detail, creativeness and her vision brought our wedding together and we are dying to see our full wedding album!! Book her! Now!!!! Sharyce holds a level of professionalism that is unmatched, while simultaneously being a friend. As my wife and I are apart of the LGBTQ community, we would love to give her a shoutout for her love and safety towards us and our love. We will forever be grateful to Sharyce for capturing our day and building a friend in the process. Thank you for capturing every detail with so much love.

From our engagement party to our wedding, Fortino Winery proved to be the PERFECT choice. Bri and Dawn, along with the owner Gino, made us feel supported every step of the way and went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. When we shared inspiration ideas, they connected us with vendors that fit our needs, and they were flexible with everything we requested, from custom drinks, custom bar and seating area to our cigar lounge, 360 photobooth, marquee signage, champagne wall and oyster shucker. Gino's cooking was outstanding-- guests couldn't stop talking about dinner and the late-night bites he prepared. The spacious grounds provided a beautiful backdrop to our wedding, and the whole team's customer service made planning stress-free. We're so grateful to Fortino Winery for making both our engagement party and wedding truly special.
