Casey's Curated Events

  • Offers 6 services
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves El Portal, CA

With over 10 years of experience in the event planning industry, I specialize in transforming visions into seamless, memorable experiences. As a dedicated perfectionist who thrives under pressure, my focus is always on the small details that make an event extraordinary. I began planning everything from intimate birthdays and gender reveals to elaborate engagement parties and baby showers. Since officially stepping into the wedding business in 2021, I have navigated and managed every challenge the industry presents, ensuring a stress-free process for my clients.

Casey’s Curated Events made planning our destination wedding an absolute breeze. Casey was there every step of the way with incredible energy, organization, communication and above all dedication. From the beginning, Casey took the time to truly understand my vision and explained the planning process in a clear, easy to understand way which was especially helpful while planning a destination wedding on a short five month timeline. I felt supported and informed throughout the entire process. I gave Casey full creative freedom with our invitations, and she completely delivered! Her creativity and attention to detail set the tone for our wedding from the start. She was also incredibly responsive, making herself available via email, text, and phone, and handled communication between the travel agency, resort coordinator, and vendors seamlessly. As the wedding approached and decisions felt overwhelming, Casey always reassured me and helped narrow down options, making everything feel manageable. From creating a comprehensive packing list (down to things like bobby pins!) to personally making sure we didn’t have to worry about the little details, Casey thought of everything. When we arrived at the resort, she took the time to walk the property with us — showing us the ceremony and reception spaces, photo locations, rehearsal and helping us visualize the full experience. She also joined us in meeting the on-site coordinator and ensured everyone was aligned. Her ability to advocate for us, ask the right questions, and clarify details made such a difference, especially since most communication with the resort had taken place via email. On our wedding day, Casey was truly amazing. She coordinated everything behind the scenes, kept everyone on schedule, and solved problems before we even knew they existed. Her calm presence, care, and positive energy allowed me to fully enjoy every moment of our wedding. Thank you, Casey, for going above and beyond. Having you as our wedding planner was truly a blessing.

Judy checked in with me the day before the wedding to see if I needed anything, which I appreciated. On the wedding day, she made sure I had water since it was very hot, and she checked in a few times to see if I needed anything. I also noticed how she interacted with the couple, and it was clear they really liked her. It’s always nice working with someone who helps keep the day moving and supports the couple throughout.

Hi, I’m Breahna — owner and lead coordinator at Bowen Weddings! 💕 My love for weddings began with helping friends and family bring their dream days to life, and I quickly knew it was my calling. I believe every couple deserves a wedding where they can be fully present, not stressed about timelines or vendors. Whether it’s a grand celebration or an intimate micro wedding, I’m your calm in the chaos — guiding you through details, keeping things on track, and making your vision a reality. ✨

Having Breahna as our day of wedding coordinator was truly one of the greatest gifts of our entire wedding experience. She handled our big day with a level of professionalism, grace, and attention to detail that blew us away. From the moment the day began, she was two steps ahead managing vendors, checking timelines, handling last-minute changes without breaking a sweat, and doing it all with a calm, confident presence that made everyone around her feel at ease. Her ability to quietly take charge while keeping things relaxed allowed me to be fully present and enjoy every moment without stress. What made it even more special is knowing how deeply she cared not just about the logistics, but about us. That love and dedication showed in everything she did, from fluffing my dress before I walked down the aisle to making sure the reception flowed seamlessly. Breahna, thank you for making our wedding day not only smooth and beautiful, but unforgettable. You made magic happen behind the scenes, and we are endlessly grateful. If you’re lucky enough to have Breahna coordinate your wedding know that you are in the best hands imaginable!

I swear, celebrating love, planning events, and getting to meet new people is my specialty. While planning my own wedding, I realized that so many Brides are not enjoying the process - so, that's where I plan to step in! I officially launched my business in October of 2021 so I can help other brides execute, plan, style and enjoy the wedding planning process. It is the most magical time of your life so lets make sure it feels magical all the way to the big day!

Morgan is the only event planner you should consider hiring. You know how everyone tells you to expect at least one thing to go unplanned or wrong at your wedding? This is simply not the case when Morgan is in charge. Not a single thing went wrong at our wedding. The timeline Morgan created was so seamless that we did not get pushed back nor did we lose out on any reception time. During the planning process, she was responsive, clear and professional. I am very indecisive and always needed reassurance or an alternate suggestion for my details and Morgan was always there for me. My husband and I did not worry about a single thing the entire day as Morgan kept everything moving. We were able to be fully present on our wedding day and we are honestly so sad it's over. Do yourself a favor and skip the other interviews. Morgan and MBK Events is your team!

I had the pleasure of working with Natasha Cougoule of Parker & Paloma Events as the pianist for Aydin and Rachel’s intimate wedding on January 24, 2026, at their family home in Hillsborough. I’ve done many weddings, and hands down, Natasha made this one of the easiest and most enjoyable vendor experiences I’ve had. She first sent me a lead through GigSalad, then followed up warmly through email after the couple loved my repertoire, CC’d them right away, and asked what I needed to do my best— that’s already a great sign. From there, her communication was clear, kind, and consistent. She set up one main thread for all vendors, introduced herself as the single point of contact to protect the couple’s time, and added everyone to AislePlanner for easy access to timelines, layouts, and updates. She handled logistics thoughtfully: shared detailed PDFs with floor plans and piano placement early, flagged the switch to fully indoor (and the ceremony-to-reception flip), gave advance notice about playing gently since the piano was in the ceremony room, promised to cue music changes, and noted the wheelchair guest so we could all be prepared (family ramps were already in place- nice touch!). On the booking side, when the schedule ended up longer than the original GigSalad quote, she quickly checked with the couple, confirmed they were happy with an adjusted rate, and smoothly moved us off the platform to skip fees. She confirmed the deposit promptly, tested a small Venmo transfer first, and kept everything transparent and fair. Throughout, her emails stayed positive and collaborative—“I’m so excited,” “can’t wait to see your incredible work,” “hope you’re having a lovely day.” She asked for vendor preferences (meals, contact info, hours), sent final timelines with specific processional requests well in advance, and always invited feedback or questions. The day flowed beautifully because of her planning. Cues were perfect, the couple was relaxed, and everything felt effortless from my side. If you want a planner who’s organized, genuinely kind, proactive, and excellent at keeping vendors and clients happy, Natasha is outstanding. I’ve already recommended her to others and would love to work with her again. Highly recommend Park & Paloma Events and I’d say her work deserves 5 stars. Thank you, Natasha!

Kalyna was an absolute lifesaver for our wedding on November 2, 2019! With over 200 guests, I was worried about how everything would come together, but she made the entire day run seamlessly. From ensuring the ceremony timing was perfect to making sure we got all of our photos and still had plenty of time to enjoy the night with our guests, she handled it all flawlessly. One thing we are especially grateful for was her incredible network of preferred vendors. Just a week before the wedding, we found out our original caterer didn’t have the right permit for our venue, and we were devastated. But Kalyna stepped in immediately and had a fantastic replacement lined up—who not only delivered amazing food but also kept us way under budget. Her ability to handle last-minute crises with ease is truly unmatched. If you want someone who is professional, organized, and ready to take on anything that comes their way, Kalyna is the coordinator you need. We couldn’t have done it without her!

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.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Lyuba from Coordinated by Love for a wedding this past weekend, and she was absolutely wonderful to collaborate with. She was attentive to her couple, handled the day’s dynamics with grace, and stayed calm and friendly through every change and unexpected moment. Her organization and positive energy made the entire day run seamlessly — a true professional who genuinely cares about her clients and their experience. I’d happily work with her again!

Since hiring Sanford from day one (6 months before Ceremony) he has always kept in communication via email and zoom. He asked my husband and I our ideal Ceremony style. He had us fill out a questionnaire separately and told us not to share our answers with eachother. Once the day arrived he customized our Ceremony to tell our love story exactly how we imagined/ wanted it! Sanford has a great personality and can tell your story! I will definitely be referring him to my friends ;)

I had a very unique style wedding and most of it I tried to do DIY. In a nutshell, it became extremely overwhelming for me, so I asked my planner Rebecca to assist. Her and the owner were so kind enough to make my original package of Day of Planning, to Full planning at a discount! Saved my whole wedding day. I cried a few days before my wedding because remembering all the months prior, they were there for me every step of the way. And on the day, everyone kept asking me, Is your planner a friend of yours? I honestly told them, 100% yes. :) Because I feel like we now are friends. Such a family orientated company. I highly recommend.

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!
