Sarah of SGS Events Co. is the best wedding planner we've had the pleasure of working with! We got to work with her on a few weddings this season and truly after every one, we remarked on how she is just simply the best and is exactly the kind of person you want on your wedding day. She does her work with heart and a radiance that shines all the details through! From start to finish, she holds the entire process of planning with such an easeful, clear, and thoughtful energy. Her timelines, communication, and coordination are exquisite, and build a sense of community going into the day and on the day that is so special. Every wedding we got to work with her felt so authentic to each couple -- a testament to her deep care of stories and people. It's a total joy to be greeted by her day-of and get to witness her effortless flow, not missing a single detail, and making everyone feel celebrated and seen. Sarah is the mama deer that brings the sense of lightfooted calm, clarity and care that makes weddings true days for love and celebration.

Wonder & Wander Travels

  • Serves Ilwaco, WA

Wonder & Wander Travels is a boutique travel agency built around one idea: your trip should feel as unforgettable as the destination itself. We specialize in destination elopements, intimate ceremonies, and honeymoons. We handle every detail (flights, lodging, transportation, timing) so you can be fully present for the moments that matter most. No cookie-cutter packages, no generic itineraries. Every trip is designed around you and your story. Whether it's a two-person elopement, a small gathering, or a honeymoon, we're here to make the planning feel as good as the trip.

Rachel is who I go to when I need a recommendation on where to go, what to do, and she not only gives me the best ideas on where to go, super thoughtful advice on things that make sense to do for my family or who I'm travelling with, but she also is conscious of the budget I'm working with. She's planned a lot for me, but two that stick out are a cruise from Miami to the Florida Keys-- she got me a crazy deal and I found a love for the random chickens that roam around the Keys. It was an adventure I didn't even realize I wanted! I came back from the trip refreshed, which as a working mom is really a big relief. The other was in Florence, Italy. She found the best Airbnb for me to stay in, that was close to everything, but also quiet inside with enough room for all of my friends I was traveling with. She found me great spots to try to eat, ideas for places that would be good to wander around, and a museum I hadn't heard of, where we saw Galileo's finger. To top it off, she gave recommendations for hikes and other outdoor adventures to help balance out our trip. I will never go to anyone else except Rachel. Thank you for making our trips so special!!

Hello, my name is Saige and I want to thank you for stopping by A Touch of Saige Events! Founded in 2013, my motivation behind ATOS was simply to help make other people’s wedding dreams come true. Building a relationship with a couple and learning their likes and dislikes so it’s like we’ve known each other for years is how we craft proposals, elopements, and weddings that speak to the uniqueness of each couple’s vision.

Saige was an amazing wedding planner. From the beginning, she took the time to listen to everything that I envisioned for our big day and she absolutely made it all happen. Our wedding was truly everything I had envisioned and more, it felt like a dream. I hired Saige just a few months before our wedding and it helped relieve a ton of stress, especially since I was planning our wedding all the way from Ohio. We also ran into some issues with our venue and Saige ended up working everything out for us. She’s very professional, thoughtful, and has amazing attention to detail. We also used several items from her rental inventory which ended up looking so great and the whole rental process was seamless. Day of our wedding she was always checking in with us to make sure we had everything we needed so we could just relax and enjoy the day. I would highly recommend Saige to anyone starting the wedding planning process. She was wonderful and she will make it all happen!

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.

Hiring Nicki from Exquisite Events & Productions was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Every once in a while, you meet someone who is not only a true expert in their field but also radiates passion for what they do—Nicki is that rare gem.

On the wedding day, Nicki was a force of nature behind the scenes—handling logistics, managing vendors, solving problems before they even surfaced—all with a smile and grace that kept everyone calm. She brought us food, drinks, water—whatever we needed before we even had to ask.

Nicki’s services were competitively priced, and we truly felt like we got so much more than we paid for. Her attention to detail, dedication, and care made the entire experience feel effortless.

Victoria and Lexi were amazing and I could not have had my dream wedding without them. Victoria is kind, has a great sense of humor, is super easy going, an excellent communicator, and is incredible at her job! I was already pretty overwhelmed on my wedding day because of the event itself, so there's no way I could have made it through without Victoria taking care of all the details.

Communication was consistent and reliable, and they handled even the smallest details with care and precision. All of my vendors knew exactly where to be, what to do, and when to be there. My wedding party felt completely supported, and I felt a huge sense of relief knowing Meraki was managing everything. Honestly, I don’t think I would have made it through the process without them. The photography Anthony did was exceptional—those photos are now proudly mounted on my wall. He captured every meaningful moment, including the details of our first look, and those are memories I will cherish forever. They went above and beyond with special touches like the Photo Booth, the stunning ivory rose wall, and the video guest book—which was next level. I had never seen anything like it before, and now I get to relive heartfelt messages from our loved ones anytime. On top of everything, they handled all the behind-the-scenes chaos so seamlessly that I never even knew it was happening. That kind of peace of mind is priceless. I can’t thank Meraki Productions enough for everything they did for me and my husband. We truly had no idea what we were doing, and they stepped in and made our vision come to life flawlessly.

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.

Meet Rachel Berry, founder of The Atelier Experience. She believes the most meaningful celebrations are created with intention, beauty, and heart. Her passion is helping couples and hosts feel supported throughout the planning process so they can be fully present for the moments that matter most. Through The Atelier Experience, Rachel creates thoughtfully designed events that reflect each client's unique story, bringing calm, care, and creativity to every celebration while crafting experiences that feel seamless and unforgettable.

I cannot recommend The Atelier Experience highly enough! Rachel helped coordinate and organize a few last minute details for our wedding day, and she was an absolute lifesaver. Several of our plans fell through a few days before and she didn't miss a beat. She is incredibly calm under pressure and came up with the most brilliant, creative ideas to pivot on the fly. I have also seen her work with Trinity's events, and she is consistently organized, professional, and dedicated to making sure everything runs smooth. If you want a coordinator who will keep you at ease and handle any curveball with grace and a smile, look no further! Rachel is your girl!!
