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 so great to work with at the last wedding I photographed. She had clear communication with all of the vendors, paid attention to the little details, and day-of made things very easy. She was calm, easy going, and worked so effortlessly behind the scenes to make a seamless wedding day happen for the couple. I'd absolutely work with her again on any event. If you're looking for a coordinator to make your event stress free, she is your best pick!”

Our menus draw from Latin, Asian, Mediterranean, Italian and American culinary traditions, delivering an experience your guests will talk about long after the last dance.

“I used Latin & Asian Hospitality Group for my wedding this April because I wanted to mix my and my husband's cultures throughout our wedding day. These were by far the best vendors I worked with for my wedding. From the very beginning, Roddy & his team were so attentive, and lines of communication were always open for any questions I had. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, there was a lot of stress from other vendors, but my calls with Roddy about finalizing details were always so grounding & he worked so intentionally to provide a stress-free process for us. The day of the wedding, the food was absolutely amazing, and they made the day such a lovely experience, not only for us as a couple but also for so many of our family members, going above and beyond to meet their specific dietary needs! 10/10 company & team. Their hearts for giving the best experience will always be something my now-husband & I look back on and cherish about our wedding day!”

Hello! I’m so excited for the chance to work with you. I’m a former teacher who has always had a passion for photography. I started working freelance in 2015 and did a lot of my first jobs in the music industry. I shot Warped Tour a few times and even had one of my promos featured by AP magazine. I quickly realized I loved working with couples the most, and now focus on couple and family portraits and weddings!

Awarded Best of Zola
“From our very first meeting over Zoom with Thalia, I knew we’d made the right choice. Her chipper, upbeat, and lighthearted personality made us feel at ease immediately. We had the pleasure of working with Thalia for our engagement photos, our wedding, and my sister’s wedding. Each time, she was a master at combining carefully curated poses with beautifully captured candids that embodied the spirit of the event and of the couples at the center. Thalia skillfully posed us in ways that photographed beautifully and didn’t feel awkward in the moment—my husband and I were laughing and enjoying ourselves the entire time. Thalia has a true gift for composition and what initially drew me to her was the moodier vibe of the photography style. With that said, she knows when to play it up and when to tone it down and allow the natural vibrancy of the moment take center stage. In every opportunity, Thalia delivered a stunning variety of photos within her advertised timeframe. Her prices are extremely fair for the work she delivers, and my family and I immediately ordered multiple prints and albums from her very user-friendly website. I can’t recommend Thalia highly enough—if you’re looking for a photographer to take your special event to the next level and create memories to last a lifetime, you’ll be ecstatic you chose Thalia.”

He brought his son as a second shooter for our ceremony, and they both mingled with our guests at the reception, getting casual shots of most of our friends and family. He provided finished photos so quickly after the event (a little over 400 photos) that we were able to send those casual shots out with the thank you cards.”

My name is Trung, the head honcho at this eponymously named company. My name is pronounced “Troon”, which sounds like spoon, so ignore those other letters that make life complicated. I've been a photographer for close to 10 years, photographing things big and small, far and wide. It's pretty incredible how impactful and valuable a split second image of a given time, place, person, or object can mean to a person. Whether it's a photograph of someone you love or a place you'd love to be, photographs spark memories or inspire the pursuit of new ones and that's why I love it.

“Trung went above and beyond as our wedding photographer! His photography is not only STUNNING and really captures the emotions of the moment, but he was incredibly organized, fun, and highly adept at problem solving. We wanted some shots by the ocean, but the wind made it a little difficult. Trung was calm in problem solving and his humor also helped make everything feel more relaxed. We can't express enough the difference he made in getting the shots we wanted, but also navigating everything so well! We are so happy to have gotten to work with him and highly recommend Trung!”

“Karyssa Miller Floral Expressions was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Karyssa was friendly, responsive, and attentive to the vision I had for the flowers and decor. On the day of the wedding, she went above and beyond by bringing some extra flowers for my hair during setup, making an extra delivery just to make sure everything was perfect. The end result was stunning - the bouquets, centerpieces, and other arrangements were all gorgeous and exactly what I had envisioned. Karyssa's attention to detail and her commitment to delivering high-quality work made her an invaluable part of our special day. I would highly recommend Karyssa Miller Floral Expressions to any couple planning their wedding.”

“Fan was a true delight to work with for our wedding. From the initial consultation, owner Fan was incredibly supportive, patient, and understanding as we discussed our vision and budget. She provided her expertise to co-design the perfect floral arrangements that were both aesthetically wonderful and completely reliable in delivering the look we wanted.

“My wife and I had been referred to Tim and Affinity Productions by a friend and we couldn’t have been any happier. We booked them and it was just a great experience from beginning to end. Tim set up meetings online for us to go through prices, timelines, and ideas. He is very transparent with what services him and his team offer and they delivered! He had excellent communication throughout the process and it made wedding planning so much easier knowing that we would have videography on lock. On the actual wedding day, they brought so much enthusiasm and fun. They captured everything, from the getting ready videos, ceremony, speeches, and open dancing. I also appreciated all the candid shots that they took and that they even joined in on the dancing to capture our friends and family having a great time. When we finally received our highlights and whole movie, it was just amazing, a true treasure that we have saved and can rewatch forever. Thanks again to Affinity Productions and Tim!”

“Monina made my wedding hair PERFECT. It was exactly as I hoped, and everyone complimented me on how amazing it looked. She was delightful to work with! I highly recommend taking advantage of the facials or massages you can book with her before the wedding. This gave us a chance to get to know each other more before the wedding day, so it felt like having an old friend come to help on the day. Definitely recommend her services!”

With more than 10 years of experience in wedding and event florals, my style is natural, romantic, and abundant. My favorite part of the process is collaborating with couples to create florals that reflect their personalities and help make their celebration truly unforgettable. Some florists focus only on large weddings—I love the full range of celebrations. From elegant, large affairs to intimate micro-weddings and elopements, I enjoy filling my calendar with meaningful events of all sizes.

“Lisa is an absolute godsend - an angel disguised as a florist. She created the most beautiful floral bouquets, boutonnières, a huge arch and table decorations for my son’s wedding. She was a dream to work with and super responsive. She HAND PAINTED a bunch of the silk flowers for the arch and it looked so real you couldn’t believe they were artificial until you touched them. I have already recommended her for my cousins wedding next year”
