AWE Planner 

5.0

  • Planner
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Knightsen, CA

As the founder of AWE Planner, you might wonder: How did she become a planner? How many events do we coordinate each year? What inspires us about this work? For founder Jenn Greel, becoming a wedding and event planner was a natural path. Her journey began with bartending private events, and planning gatherings for friends, which eventually spared the idea of launching her own planning business. From our first wedding fair to signing our first client-who happened to be a coworker at the time-AWE Planner was built from scratch. With every event we've learned, grown, and harnessed our experiences to shape the outstanding team we are today.

We were so happy to find AWE Planner to coordinate our wedding reception. Jenn was very communicative and easy to work with, making sure to check in with us leading up to our wedding and helping wrangle all our vendors. She and her assistant, Flor, even came out for several walkthroughs at our venue to make sure every detail was figured out. The icing on the cake was they were also able to create and deliver our floral arrangements, which was a HUGE bonus. Our flowers looked incredible and worked perfectly with our aesthetic. We were able to hand off all of our signage and decor and they put everything together beautifully. If you are having any sort of wedding or event, I would highly recommend hiring AWE Planner to make your vision come to life.

The Cosmo Alleycats is a San Francisco-based Swing & Vintage Dance Band that has been a popular choice with wedding couples, event planners, dancers and audiences for the last decade. The band, comprised of 6 talented musicians, draws from several decades of exhilarating American dance music to deliver a fun and engaging performance with a dynamic, soulful delivery.

We hired the Cosmo Alleycats for our wedding and it was by far one of the best choices we made. Working with Emily and the Cosmo Alleycats is a dream. First up, they are obviously very musically talented - their style is fun for everyone of all ages and they are open to working with you for your preferences. They went above and beyond by making a special arrangement of our first dance song. We wanted to practice dancing to their rendition before the big day, so Emily shared a recording of it with us which was extremely helpful. Emily is a true professional, helping us organize all of the details and logistics in addition to emceeing for the evening and bringing her gorgeous singing voice, and each member of the band brings their own talents and flair. I cannot recommend them enough. Live music at a wedding is a top-notch experience for you and your guests and you won’t regret hiring the Cosmo Alleycats for your special day.

Offbeat Photography with a Narrative Twist. I've been having fun photographing weddings for over 18 years. I find the excitement, nervousness, love, and joy inspiring to create great photographs that tell a story. I have been in love with photography since I've been a kid. Since then I have photographed actors, film directors, authors, and some very unique characters that have informed my perspective on life.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Pat to do photographs for our wedding in 2016 - which was an informal event in our back garden in San Francisco with our family and friends on a glorious July day. Pat was lovely to work with. We only needed to chat a few times beforehand. And then on the day, she was a discreet, low-key presence - but somehow managed to capture us, our family, and friends in a joyous celebration.

We can't say enough good things about Sequoyah Country Club. Andrea and Sally are the most attentive, responsive, professional, and kind venue coordinators out there. Our wedding was a beautiful success because of them and the SCC staff. They know how to host a wedding -- and it shows. We valued their expertise every step of the way. They've hosted so many weddings that they had great suggestions and solutions to every single thing that came up. Their recommended vendors list is valuable and we used it to hire our great day of coordinator. The venue is beautiful and well cared for inside and out. It shows in our pictures. All of the chairs, linens, glassware, cake stands, etc. were in great condition. The building and grounds are lovely so we didn't need excessive decorations or flowers. We don't live locally and planned the wedding from across the country -- it wasn't an issue with how well organized SCC is. It rained the night before our wedding and was unexpectedly a little colder than we anticipated -- Andrea and Sally helped us adjust our day of plans-- we kept the ceremony outside but moved cocktail hour inside with only a couple hour notice -- no one was stressed, they took care of it all. We had 150 people for an outdoor ceremony and indoor dinner and dancing. Lastly -- we were very happy with the pricing (so many things are included, and if they aren't already included, they're happy to arrange just about anything else!). We felt every single dollar was well spent. We can't recommend the venue enough -- the biggest thank you to Andrea, Sally, and the SCC staff.

She also helped a ton with planning the full schedule for the day and had a good sense of how long each thing would take. And on the day-of she put out sooo many fires- unexpected guests showing up, adding an extra reception table, grabbing the vows that I forgot in the car last minute, coordinating with all the vendors. And every event was exactly on time and perfectly smooth. Even if you're doing a mostly DIY or budget wedding- day-of coordination is sooo worth it and I highly recommend Perfection Unlimited.

Want to give a wedding gift that’s as unique and personal as the couple’s love story? Live wedding painting is an interactive and memorable experience.

As a result, the couple will receive a fully framed, ready-to-hang original artwork that will transport them back to this special day whenever they look at it.

Jane was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish! Not only was she incredibly sweet-- she kept in close touch throughout the process and answered any questions we had. Her professionalism, dedication to her craft, and pure talent are all top-notch. Jane traveled to south Florida and painted live at our wedding. She arrived early to start on the background of the painting and later took a photo of us after our ceremony to place us in the foreground. We were simply blown away at the side-by-side comparison of the painting vs the photo and how beautifully she crafted the composition. The piece we received is one we'll always cherish to commemorate our special day. Our guests were floored by the final product and so were we! Jane, we cannot thank you enough for playing such a special role on our wedding day. We so appreciate your time and talent!

She was very kind, professional, and understanding whenever I had question or had to make changes to the plan. 2 months before my wedding, I had a problem with my venue and Cleodia was a great help. She helped me remain calm during my panic, helped me find possible new venues, and worked with me to create a quick solution to a major problem. I honestly don't think I would have found a new venue without Cleodia's help and I am very grateful. I would 100% recommend MidSummer Kitchen for all your catering needs.

I was born and raised in the East Bay Area (minus my years at Chico State!). I have been married to my wife for 13 years and am a proud girl-dad to my 11-year-old daughter. My real love of photography began in 8th grade when I took my first photography class. That first moment in the dark room when I saw my first photos come to life was magical and from that moment I was hooked. To this day, I experience that same magic as I capture special moments and create lasting images for my clients – it is that magic, my love of people and sharing in their joy that fuels my creativity and passion for my work.

With a candid style and two decades of professional photography experience, my passion is capturing real moments and creating photos that tell your story. Living in the San Francisco Bay Area, I am proud to work in the diverse communities here, and welcome the diversity of my clients who are looking to both honor past family traditions as well as create some of their own. My approach to wedding photography is simple; the day of the wedding is about two people coming together to celebrate their marriage with their loved ones, and photos are about connection and trust. My goal is to have your photographs remind you of how you felt that day.

Sonya was truly a pleasure to work with and we are extremely glad we went with her over all the other photographers out there. We were first interested in her when we saw her online portfolio and liked her style. Afterwards, we met her in-person to ask questions and go over the whole process. Sonya was extremely pleasant to talk to with her warm and professional demeanor. She answered all our questions and went over the contract with us in great detail. After deciding to go with her, Sonya reached out to set an engagement shoot date. The engagement shoot went smoothly and Sonya never rushed us or seemed in a rush. Even when we went over the designated hours set for us, she stayed until we finished going throughout the entire place we went to. Of course the photos all turned out great and we even used a few inside the wedding as features. On the day of the wedding, Sonya showed up exactly on time with her assistant photographer. She is very professional, personable, and wonderful to work with! In between our ceremony and reception, we were able to do a 20-min photoshoot. Sonya knew immediately which shots to take and the photoshoot went very, very smoothly. She has amazing attention to detail and she knows exactly what she is doing. After we received the photos back from her, we loved her work and had so many amazing photos to choose from! Overall, we give our highest recommendation to Sonya! Additionally, she replies very quickly to inquiries and when we were planning the wedding. It was great to have quick communication. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Sonya!!!

I'm a fine art wedding photographer based in Northern California and beyond. After discovering my love for photography, I always knew I wanted to become a full time wedding photographer. I am so fortunate to call this my job for over five years! My photography work often describe as romantic, soft, bright and natural that lend itself from my love of film look and fine art. When I'm not behind the camera or editing the latest wedding, you can find me spending time with my wife and our two Tabbies. I would absolutely love to get to know you and be your photographer!

Ditto and his assistant showed up early and started taking amazing photos right off the bat. The pre-wedding communication was timely. He was easy to work with and brought calm energy to a day when stress can permeate the fun out of it. We immediately received a high volume, beautiful sneak peak the evening after the wedding which was a fun surprise and a great way to start our honeymoon admiring the gorgeous photos.

I am an Oklahoma born, but Cali raised - dancer, roller skater, photography stylist, photographer, momma to two little girls, foodie, crafter, lover of laughter, action and pyscho-thriller movie watcher, and sports player. I also find peace in the outdoors and California trees. I like to keep it active and adventurous. I believe in giving 110% at everything I do, but also want it to be fun. I chose photography to be my vocation because I have a true obsession with humans and the way we love, interact, and celebrate rituals personal to our families and cultures. I stand up for equality and justice for BIPOC and LGBTTQQIAAP.

Joy was so amazing from start to finish! We booked Joy and her team for our Engagement session and Wedding Day. She helped brainstorm ideas for the engagement shoot and made all our visions a reality with bomb photos of us featuring my husbands old school. As all brides know, the planning experience can be stressful and full of anxiety dealing with multiple vendors - but I never had that experience working with Joy. I 100% trusted her to capture our big day. I’ve heard stories from other brides about “I wish our photographer did this, was able to take photos of that..” but not with Joy! She communicated great leading up to and on the big day. Everywhere I looked Joy and her team was on the move capturing the best shots in the right spots. Our photos turned out amazing and we were so happy to have Joy there with us on such a memorable day. I highly recommend and trust Joy for any photo sessions, whether it’s family holiday shoots, grad photos, engagement sessions and wedding day! She is an absolute gem, so talented and pleasure to work with!

In April 2023, my husband and I were fortunate enough to have our wedding at the beautiful Monk Ranch in Dixon, California. The property was perfectly set up, creating an enchanting atmosphere for our special day. One of the highlights of our experience was working with Gail, who went above and beyond to make our wedding dreams come true. Monk Ranch offers an idyllic and serene setting for any wedding celebration. The property is thoughtfully designed to accommodate both the ceremony and reception, providing ample space for guests to enjoy the stunning surroundings. We were particularly taken by the romantic ambiance created by the rustic elegance of the barn, which served as the perfect location for our reception. Gail was an absolute pleasure to work with. From our first interaction, her dedication to making our wedding day flawless was evident. She was incredibly helpful and attentive, always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and ensure that every detail was perfectly executed. Her warm and friendly demeanor immediately put us at ease and allowed us to focus on celebrating our love. Our guests were just as impressed with the venue and Gail's exceptional service. Many commented on the beautiful setting, the seamless organization of the event, and Gail's professionalism and genuine care for our wedding.

Relationships and Connection - most important in life. That's what my photography is about. Love, joy, sweetness, tenderness - emotions to capture and communicate. These are what you want to see in pictures.

I've worked with Eliot on various occasions and he is diligent, intelligent, efficient and a darn good photographer.
