We loved working with Ella! I plan events for a living so wasn't planning to get a coordinator for the engagement party but it made a HUGE difference not having to set up for the event/worry about logistics/all the small details. Because of Ella, my fiancé and I were able to really just be present and enjoy the evening - and everything felt so smooth & seamless. Thank you so much to Ella & the entire Mostest team for being so wonderful to work with!

Haylie with Heirloom Event Company was absolutely amazing to work with. From the very beginning, she was incredibly organized and consistently thought of details we never would have considered on our own. Leading up to our November 2025 wedding, we met weekly, and Haylie made sure we had everything in place to create the wedding of our dreams. I had a clear vision of what I wanted our wedding day to look like, and Haylie went above and beyond to make sure every single detail was executed perfectly. There is truly no way we could have done this ourselves, especially during the week of and the day of the wedding. Haylie coordinated all of our vendors, set up the decor, and made sure I was taken care of throughout the entire day. As a bride, having that level of support made the experience so much calmer and more enjoyable. Our guests are still talking about how beautifully everything flowed and how perfectly executed the day was. That would not have been possible without Haylie and her incredible team. There is no way I could have planned or had the wedding of my dreams without Heirloom Event Company, and I cannot recommend them enough.

Lindsay not only plans weddings for our Simply Elegant couples but also trains our entire team of planners to ensure that every Simply Elegant wedding is flawless and our client's vision is fulfilled.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very first meeting, Valerie from The Simply Elegant Group completely won us over. She met with us in person and spent nearly two full hours diving into every detail of our (okay, mostly my) wedding vision. Right away, it was clear she wasn’t just a planner—she was a listener, a guide, and someone who genuinely cared about making our day unforgettable. What set Valerie apart throughout the planning process was her consistency and calm professionalism. She stayed in regular contact with us—monthly check-ins at first, then weekly as the big day approached, and even daily in that final stretch. She always kept me on track without making things feel overwhelming. She helped with everything from designing signs to crafting our timeline and managing vendor communication. But most of all, she brought this incredible sense of calm that I didn’t know I needed so badly. I’ve seen other planners who are high-energy or frantic, and while they mean well, that kind of energy would have stressed me out. Valerie, on the other hand, had this "I got it" energy that was both reassuring and grounding. No drama, no stress—just total confidence and grace. And then there’s Gabi, her day-of assistant—who was equally amazing. Together, they made sure the day flowed seamlessly. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. From the ceremony to the reception, every detail was handled with care and professionalism. And I swear—when it looked like it might rain, Valerie must have worked some kind of magic, because we ended up with a stunning 72-degree October day with sunshine. I mean, who else can literally chase the rain away?! Thanks to Valerie (and Gabi!), our wedding day didn’t just meet expectations—it exceeded them. It was everything we dreamed of and more. We are so grateful for their support, calm presence, and true expertise. If you're looking for a planner who brings peace, organization, and genuine care to the biggest day of your life—look no further. Thank you, Valerie, for making our wedding absolutely perfect. We couldn’t be happier!

oso events began with our own wedding, and as a husband-and-wife team, we know firsthand how important it is to have a day that feels effortless, personal, and entirely yours. We’ve been in your shoes, and that’s why we approach planning with both expertise and empathy.​ But we don’t do it alone. Behind every wedding is team oso—a group of experienced planners who share our passion for seamless events and thoughtful execution. We bring a calm presence, deep expertise, and an obsession with making sure things run smoothly—so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Awarded Best of Zola
We first learned about Oso Events in the summer of 2022 while remotely planning our California wedding from the East Coast. From the very first introductory call, they blew us away with their professionalism, punctuality, warmth, organization, and excellence. Without them, our wedding would not have been nearly as amazing as it was! They found us fantastic vendors in the Bay Area like the food, HMUA, DJ, and server staffing company, organized our wedding day schedule, held regular video calls with us, got quotes from vendors, kept track of our budget and payment schedule with weekly updates, arranged set-up of the ceremony and reception venue, made sure our vendors got day-of tips, and more! The only thing that could be improved is that there was a specific deadline for event liability insurance that I and the planning team all missed initially. No harm was done though! The mistake was caught in time before it affected the event, and all went well! Michelle and Raymundo excellently identified what our energy levels as a newlywed couple would be like in the week leading up to the big event, and the day of the actual wedding. Raymundo directed our impromptu ceremony rehearsal, helping our officiant and party mark their places and signaling where/when we should stand and walk. Michelle checked in with the bride and the groom consistently throughout the night of the reception, asking if we needed water, food, or other drinks since we were often distracted by the festivities. They maintained effective communication leading up to and on the day of the wedding. Their decorations at the ceremony and reception were absolutely gorgeous and exactly what we wanted. At the end of the night, they managed takedown, and made sure all of the personal decorative items and remembrance photos we brought were conveniently all in the same box for us to take home. Through the yearlong process of planning, they dealt with last-minute logistical changes with incredible poise, and truly grounded us, allowing us to enjoy the day with free minds. The team even accommodated two of our guests who tested positive for COVID last-minute by setting up a separate table for them in the outdoor venue. We couldn't recommend them more highly. Not to mention, their BobaHolics boba bar was a huge hit and the photo booth was a lot of fun. We got a lot of mileage out of the sustainable decor inventory, which prevented us from having tons of wedding stuff on hand that we'd accumulate and need to resell after. The entire range of services offered by Oso is incredibly helpful and will make any event an absolute hit. We have loved working with the team and we’re so grateful they decided to take us on as clients at the start of their wedding planning journey.

My husband and I got married on 6/15/2024. I handled majority of our wedding planning, but as an OCD bride, my biggest anxiety was not being able to be hands on for the day of our wedding. Everyone was telling me that as the bride I had to enjoy my wedding day, but all I could think about was “I need to make sure everything goes exactly the way I’ve been planning it for the last year and a half”. That’s when I knew I needed a day of coordinator. I came across Star Rose Creations and I’m SO happy that I did. Miranda and Kylie are absolutely gems!! They are both so professional, caring, and understanding. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. From the initial meeting, to creating timelines for the day of, to making sure that everything was setup the way my floor plan showed, to handling the vendors, to making sure we kept on schedule for the ceremony and reception… I mean they handled it all!

Blair and her team, Elly and Neva, were lifesavers for our wedding! We met her team during an open house for The Brix, the venue where we had our reception. We found out that my cousin was also working with her for his wedding and he had the most amazing things to say so we knew we were in good hands! Blair is easy to talk to and work with, professional, kind, understanding, and extremely organized! She helped us stick to our budget, coordinate with other vendors, and gave us so many recommendations and options for high quality vendors. Blair is extremely responsive! We loved how quickly she was responding to any questions we had and I also really appreciated the nudges on deadlines! We have extremely busy schedules and we travel often, so the frequent reminders and check-ins were crucial. We were grateful that there were scheduled talks intermittently throughout the planning process. It really helped us manage the timeline and logistics. If you’re a Type-A Bride, you will love the website they put together to help keep things organized (seating chart, vendors etc). On the big day, Blair and her team ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing us to enjoy ourselves.

Laura and Co. Events have been a pleasure to work with. Their communication is fantastic, and we've always collaborated seamlessly. They do an excellent job, ensuring that every detail our clients request for their wedding day is accounted for. We've worked with many vendors, but Laura and Co. Events is our preferred choice due to their professionalism and dedication to each event.

Thank goodness for Angela!!! She truly was the glue to all the moving pieces of our wedding. My now husband and I are from Orange County but we knew we wanted to have our special day in Coronado. Having Angela made this process so much easier with all her vendor recommendations, San Diego location expertise, and willingness to answer as many questions as I asked. Whether you are super organized or need the help, Angela does an amazing job narrowing down all the nitty gritty details in away where it is bite size and approachable so you never get too overwhelmed. I’m so grateful for her and I felt such a peace on our wedding day with her by my side!!

Working with Erika O'Brien Events as our wedding planner was an absolute pleasure. From the very beginning, Erika's communication style was laid-back yet professional, and she demonstrated an incredibly organized approach to planning our special day. Her attention to detail was excellent, and she executed flawlessly without any ego, working tirelessly before, during, and after our wedding to ensure everything ran smoothly. Although we hired Erika for month-of coordination, for the 9 months leading up to the wedding she was in doing checkins and helping us as needed. She helped wrangle vendors, create a detailed schedule, and handle all the little details so we didn't have to worry about a thing. Erika's expertise and calming presence were invaluable, and we highly recommend her services to any couple planning their wedding.

Kaci Danae Events

San Jose, CA
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $500

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.

I recently worked with Kaci as a wedding day coordinator for a client's special day, and I cannot speak highly enough of her services. Kaci was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish - she is professional, organized, and extremely knowledgeable about all things wedding-related. From the initial planning stages to the day of the event, Kaci was incredibly prompt and thorough with her communication, ensuring that everyone involved in the celebration was on the same page and that everything was going according to schedule. She was also incredibly friendly and approachable, making the entire process feel effortless and stress-free for everyone involved. Kaci's attention to detail and organizational skills were truly impressive. She made sure that every aspect of the wedding was executed flawlessly, from the seating arrangements and timing of the speeches to the coordination of vendors and guests. As a DJ company, we truly appreciated Kaci's ability to keep the event running smoothly and on schedule, allowing us to focus on our role and provide the best possible experience for the bride and groom and their guests. Overall, I would highly recommend Kaci to anyone in need of a wedding day coordinator. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and friendly demeanor make her an absolute joy to work with, and I have no doubt that she would exceed your expectations in every way possible. Thank you, Kaci, for helping us create an unforgettable celebration for our clients!

Aside from my love for all-things-events-and-weddings, I am a cat mom, dog mom (to the best dog ever, truly), goofy type-A (yes, we exist). I love everything coffee, purple, and vintage; I almost never go somewhere without red lipstick. And you’ll probably see me somewhere in downtown Frederick at least twice a week. The SBD team has a team of Leads and Assistants of all backgrounds but we all share a love for logistics and supporting couples on their special day!

Sarah and Sarah were amazing to work with! From day 1 we felt very comfortable with Owner, Sarah Rosier. She is very easy to talk to and super knowledgeable. She never makes you feel rushed and answers all of your questions. On the day of our wedding we worked with both Sarah Rosier and Sarah Rose. Both Sarah's were so helpful and ensured our big day went smooth. We were able to have so much fun and enjoy the moment because we knew Sarah and Sarah were taking care of everything. I highly recommend using SBD&E - especially if you are getting married at Union Mills Public House in Frederick, MD. SBD&E does a ton of events there, so they know the space like the back of their hand. It made everything so seamless and I could not imagine getting married without SBD&E! In the photo below, what you don't see is Sarah Rosier standing across from up giving us step by step instructions on the best way to cut the cake (it is harder than it looks lol!)... talk about attention to detail and making sure even the small details of the cake cutting were covered! Choose SBD&E as your wedding coordinator, you won't regret it!

About wedding planners

How much does a wedding planner cost?

On average, a full-service wedding planner can cost between $3,000 and $10,000. It depends on where you live and where you’re getting married. Planners in areas with high costs of living, like New York City and San Francisco, may charge upwards of $20,000. If you’re having a destination wedding, consider using a planner local to the area—you’ll avoid paying extra for travel, accommodations, and meals. Day-of coordinators cost less. They may have a flat fee between $1,000 and $5,000, or charge hourly. Always ask about pricing up front so nothing comes as a surprise later.

What do wedding planners do?

Think of wedding planners as jack-of-all-trades experts when it comes to weddings. Many offer different levels of service to meet your needs. If you just want day-of coordination, for example, your planner will be there to make sure your ceremony and reception go off without a hitch. This may mean setting up vendors or directing your wedding party and guests to make sure everyone is where they need to be at the right time. On the other end of the spectrum, full-service planning may involve:

  • Starting the planning far in advance
  • Budget management
  • Coordinating with your venue
  • Recommending vendors and negotiating contracts
  • Staying on top of trends and making suggestions
  • Ironing out all-important last-minute details
  • Running interference with family members if conflict arises
  • Making a schedule and ensuring everything runs smoothly
  • Executing on your vision, from the rehearsal dinner to the reception

Should we get a wedding planner?

Planners are great resources and can make planning your wedding much less stressful. If you’ve got the budget, a wedding planner is well worth the investment. Planners offer different service levels at varying price points. Choose the amount of help and cost that makes the most sense for you. At the bare minimum, you need someone (hired or delegated) to help manage the event day-of so you will be able to enjoy yourselves without worrying about too many logistics. If you decide to enlist a friend or family member to take on this role, keep in mind that this person will need to prioritize your needs over their own, and will no longer be attending or enjoying the wedding simply as a guest.
