  • Offers 6 services
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Merced, 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.

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!

Hi, I’m Athena! As a wedding planner and event coordinator based in Northern CA, I specialize in creating seamless and memorable celebrations.

Whether you're dreaming of an intimate gathering or a grand affair, I’m here to guide you every step of the way—from vendor coordination to timeline creation and all the little details in between. My goal is to make the planning process enjoyable and to craft an event that truly reflects you.

Working with Athena was truly a pleasure from start to finish. She is an exceptional planner who brings clarity, organization, and energy to every part of the day. The timeline she provided was clear and well thought out, leaving no room for confusion. She kept us in the loop with any updates or special requests from the couple, which made the entire process seamless. What we appreciated most was how she structured the day in a way that allowed everything to flow smoothly without ever feeling rushed or overwhelming for both the couple and us as the photo and video team. That balance is so important, and she nailed it. On top of her planning skills, her energy was simply unmatched. Even after eight full hours, she remained enthusiastic and uplifting, hyping up the crowd, encouraging fellow vendors, and maintaining such a positive atmosphere throughout the entire event. It made the day not only enjoyable but truly memorable. We would absolutely love the opportunity to work with her again. She’s a gem in this industry!

Hi, I’m Morgan! Thank you so much for being here. I am the Owner and Lead Planner of MBK Events. Let’s get straight to it - I freaking love love and I love planning. 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!

Awarded Best of Zola
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’m Ashley, the owner of Rose Event Co. I love being able to share in the love of two individuals and feel lucky to get to work with such wonderful people each day! I’ve been planning weddings and events for over eight years now, and I couldn’t be more thankful with where I am now in my business. I primarily serve the OR | WA | CA markets, but will travel anywhere!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is equal parts calm, brilliant, kind, organized, and downright magical — look no further than Ashley. From the moment we started planning, Ashley saved us both time and money in ways we didn’t even know were possible. She sourced incredible vendors within our budget, presented thoughtful options that actually aligned with our vision, and somehow managed to keep track of every tiny detail along the way. Her resourcefulness alone paid for itself ten times over. Ashley also had the unique ability to navigate and balance our very different planning styles — my Type A tendencies and my husband’s more last-minute approach — with so much grace, humor, and patience. We often joked that we wished we could keep her in our lives forever to make all our daily decisions, because she made everything feel lighter and easier. There were a couple moments when certain vendors didn’t follow through according to their contracts, and Ashley stepped in immediately, handled everything professionally, and made sure nothing fell through the cracks. She was our advocate in every sense. Her attention to detail was unparalleled. She monitored the weather for weeks leading up to the big day, and she was absolutely right — though it was gorgeous, the wind changed several elements of our ceremony and décor. Because she anticipated it, planned for it, and had contingencies ready, everything went more smoothly than it ever could have without her preparation. She also helped coordinate the other events throughout our wedding weekend, making each one feel special and seamless. Even the bathroom baskets she curated for guests were thoughtful and beautifully done. Every single guest has told us how wonderful the wedding and the entire experience felt — and we couldn’t agree more. Weddings will always have at least some chaos, but with Ashley by our side we were protected from most of it, and we remained calm even in the moments that could have easily unraveled. She was truly one of the main reasons everyone had such an incredible time. We are endlessly grateful for her, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Hiring Ashley was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Working with Natasha was an absolute joy. From the moment we connected during the planning process, it was clear how deeply she cares about the couples she serves and the experience they have on their wedding day. Her organization, communication, and attention to detail made the entire day flow seamlessly. As a photographer, that kind of thoughtful planning allows us to focus on capturing real moments while knowing everything else is being handled with care and professionalism.

I've loved weddings since childhood, from sketching dresses in my notebooks to planning my own wedding in 2019. That experience confirmed my passion for coordination, logistics, and making wedding days seamless. After serving as Maid of Honor multiple times, I became the go-to planner for friends. Since then, I’ve coordinated 22+ weddings and events, specializing in DIY and backyard celebrations. I believe a beautiful wedding doesn’t need a huge budget, just thoughtful planning. Let’s create a stress-free, unforgettable day together!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Kalyna at Bella Dia Events was the best investment we made for our wedding — hands down! From the very beginning, Kalyna made us feel like we were her only clients. She helped us shape our entire vision, from finding the perfect DJ to designing a floral dreamscape that our guests are still talking about. She didn’t just recommend vendors; she handpicked them based on our style, our budget, and our vibe — and somehow made it all look like we spent twice as much as we actually did. Kalyna is truly the queen of organization. She built us custom timelines, checklists, and even gentle reminder emails that kept us on track without ever feeling overwhelmed. She managed our guest list like a pro — juggling RSVPs, special meal requests, last-minute changes — and made it all look effortless. She even helped us design our floor plan, coordinated transportation logistics, and thought of all the little things we never would have, like having an emergency kit on-site (which definitely saved the day at one point!). What really blew us away was her ability to stretch our budget with wedding hacks and insider tips we never would have known without her. She found creative ways to repurpose ceremony flowers for the reception, negotiated amazing deals with our vendors, and made sure every dollar worked overtime to bring our dream day to life. The day of the wedding, Kalyna was pure magic. She handled every moving part behind the scenes so we could truly relax and soak it all in. We had so many guests tell us it was the most beautiful, seamless wedding they had ever attended — and that’s 100% thanks to Kalyna. It truly was the most perfect day, and we owe it all to Bella Dia Events. If you’re lucky enough to book Kalyna, do it — your future self will thank you a thousand times over!

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.

  • Serves Merced, CA

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!

Our wedding coordinators were absolutely AMAZING! From the very beginning, Taylor and her husband went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. They worked so seamlessly together — calm, organized, and always one step ahead. The entire day ran smoothly thanks to them, and we were able to fully relax and enjoy every moment knowing everything was in great hands. They took care of every little thing, big and small, with so much care and professionalism. We truly could not have asked for a better team. If you’re planning a wedding, you need these two in your corner!

Ivory Noir was an exceptional wedding planning team to work with. From the beginning, their communication style was clear, direct, and enthusiastic. They were incredibly detail-oriented, organized, and helpful throughout the entire planning process. Dee, our main point of contact, was instrumental in ensuring our wedding ceremony was seamless. She coordinated with all of our vendors and set up the ceremony space exactly as we had envisioned, and was consistently patient and responsive, always putting our needs and interests first. Dee also asked thoughtful questions that helped us consider important details we may have overlooked. We are so grateful for Ivory Noir's exceptional service and would highly recommend them to any couple planning their dream wedding.
