“We will prefix this review with 1) we engaged to work with Datso 5-6 months before a 50 person Fort Bragg garden wedding in April, organised 100% from Singapore and 2) our big day was a second wedding to both the Bride and the Groom, so we knew the things that mattered to us and what we wanted the planning and day to be in terms of experience. Beauty and ease were major priorities, I (the bride) wanted the day to be gorgeous, but within a specific budget, and we both did not want to stress about anything, as we were arranging things out of country and timezone. We are so lucky that we managed to find Datso (and the team she works with) for our wedding. We found her online and decided to go with her after just one call (we also spoke to a few local vendors, many of them were totally out of our price range but also many were not as generous with advice and pointers as she was in that intro call). Datso proved to be incredibly human, knowledgeable, and reassuring throughout the entire planning process, accommodating us many times over with the time difference, meetings, requests and 'ideas' that had to be conveyed just over the phone or via pictures. It was a risk for us and we didn't "know" what the day was going to turn out like but she kept us well informed during the process and was positive but reasonable in the guidance she gave us. She was respectful with our budget and never pushy. She was also informative and positive but never disingenuous, she remained incredibly human and acted with integrity from start to finish. But the proof is in the pudding, and finally the day came. I cant convey how just perfect our day turned out. She truly "got" us, the whole brief: flowers, local produce, music style (and band), the look, the feel, dinner menu and layout, the photographer style (and cost!)... she just 'got' us with all her vendor recommendations and understood that we wanted a GORGEOUS but heartfelt, warm and fun evening with close friends and family. (She also quietly did some contingency planning, like bringing extra decorations that she thought we'd need, and things like umbrellas that we didn't plan for as it rained a bit on the day.) End to end, Datso and her team delivered a thoroughly well-managed, thoughtful day that felt and looked exactly as we had hoped. It was very special, but felt intimate and personal. Gorgeous, but not frilly. It was stress free, everything was handled, the aesthetic detail were spot on and was just what we had in our heads; she managed to translate it and make it happen for us. Weddings are hard; planners are translating dreams on a very firm budget at times, and events are hard work keeping on top of all the 'things'. But we felt we did not just get good client management and organisation, we got Datso's keen ear to understand what we really wanted, a fine eye to recognise the specificity in look or feel of the things, and her deep/wide expertise and connections in knowing who exactly could do it. We are so grateful to Datso for making the wedding we had hoped for come to life. We would recommend Datso in a heartbeat.”

Kaci Danae Events

  • Offers 5 services
  • Serves Mad River, 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 an absolute pleasure to work with, a true professional at what she does, and a gem of a human to top it all off! She took all of the pressure off of us as our day-of coordinator, and did so without ever looking stressed herself. She facilitated set up and executed timelines with sniper precision. Though she was our day-of coordinator/planner, she met with us in the days and weeks leading up to our wedding for venue walk throughs, met over video calls, helped me with rentals/quantity suggestions, and made us feel like we had ample, professional planning support throughout so much more of the process than just the “day-of”. Matt and I cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for a wedding planner or day-of coordinator more, nor could we have pulled off such a perfect day without her hard work and professionalism.”

As a food stylist, event planner, and business owner with over 25 years in hospitality and events, I believe the smallest details hold the most meaning.

Proud ally and safe space for the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC community. Best wishes and warmest regards, LouLou

“I’ve worked with LouLou Events going on about ten times now, both personally (for friends and family gatherings), as well as professionally (we at Edible Magazine hire her for both her food styling, and event production). I'm not only in awe of her style and the aesthetic she brings to any event or setup; I also appreciate her work ethic and processes. She’s quick and efficient in her responses (a dream for my type-A personality), is dependable, and has an unmatched eye for design. Everything, I mean everything, she creates is beautiful. The events always feel special and thoughtfully done. They leave a lasting impression on guests -- it is exactly what I hope for. Over time I’ve relied on her for all kinds of needs, from production and food styling for various magazine shoots; event management for gatherings; tablescape design for a cookbook party; food setups for long shoot days. She’s someone I return to again and again because she is professional, kind, and delivers every single time. I would recommend her to anybody.”

“I had Diana and her team for my wedding at Zephyr Cove this past weekend. The photobooth was such a hit with the guests!! Diana was very easy to work with and was very responsive. I cannot thank her enough for catching some wedding crashers and not allowing them to be part of our photobooth guestbook. I love that our guests were able to make a small video for us with their well wishes during cocktail hour and then turning everyone's pictures into another guestbook. So many nice keepsakes from just the photobooth! I would definitely book Diana again and would highly recommend her!!”

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.”
