Aesthetic Embassy 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Offers 7 services
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Montara, CA

A wedding often starts long before the venue or vendors, with a childhood dream, saved images, or a vision waiting to take shape. At Aesthetic Embassy, that vision comes first and holds everything together, so nothing feels random or disconnected. Vendors, meetings, contracts, timelines, and budgets are kept under control, so you’re not chasing people or dealing with last minute issues. Each program is structured like a show, with clear timing and cues, so nothing feels rushed or out of place. No vendor commissions, only a trusted network. Full service planning and coordination in the Bay Area.

“Aesthetic Embassy made our wedding feel effortless and incredibly special. They understood our vision right away and handled every detail with so much care. Everything ran smoothly, and we actually got to enjoy the day without stress. It felt personal, thoughtful, and beautifully done. Couldn’t recommend them more!”

Kaci Danae Events 
Rating: 5.0 (58 reviews)
  • Offers 5 services
  • Serves Montara, 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 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!”

“We found TPE through Yelp and are so glad we chose Leah. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, matching our energy and preferences perfectly to bring our vision of a cozy, laid-back celebration to life. Her planning templates made the process effortless, and her guidance was invaluable every step of the way. On the wedding day, Leah and Leo went above and beyond - even replacing centerpieces I had misplaced. They kept the timeline on track and handled every detail, from securing gifts to ensuring everything ran smoothly. This allowed us to fully enjoy our celebration without a single worry. Leah helped us design a day that truly represented us - nerdy, cozy, and unique. From a special ceremony in the Cal Academy Planetarium to a cocktail hour in the aquarium and dinner in the atrium, it was seamless. All of the vendors she recommended were professional, approachable, and a delight to work with. We and our guests had an amazing time, and we are so grateful to Leah for making our day truly special!”

“Honestly. Patricia was fabulous. As the Mother of the Bride, I watched her handle vendors, last minute surprises, and all of our guests with Grace and Professionalism. I never experienced any anxiety and knew that she had absolutely everything under control. My husband and I arrived before anyone else and watched as she seamlessly made sure that everything was done as planned. Her presence was barely noticeable except when needed and then she would almost magically appear anticipating the need.

We offer personalized planning, coordination, and event design services with a focus on thoughtful details, seamless execution, and exceptional guest experiences. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, we're committed to bringing your vision to life with professionalism, creativity, and care.

“Monica was a total lifesaver while we planned our reception. From the start it was clear she really knew what she was doing. She would catch potential problems before they even happened, already had backup plans ready, and somehow always knew what we needed before we asked. She found great vendors so fast and helped us get a bunch of custom things done, like T-shirts, a special mirror, and other personal details, all without it turning into a headache. She also handled a lot of the vendor conversations and negotiations for us, which made everything so much easier. She kept the timeline tight, stayed organized, and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks. Anytime something came up last minute, she handled it calmly. She was careful with our budget and always communicated clearly, so we never felt out of the loop or stressed about money. It honestly felt like she was as invested in our day as we were. Having her there meant we could actually relax and enjoy our celebration instead of worrying about every little detail. Our guests are still talking about how smooth and special everything felt. If you’re looking for someone to plan your wedding or reception who is experienced, proactive, dependable, and genuinely cares, I can’t recommend Monica and Bespoke Events enough.”

  • Serves Montara, CA

I’ve been a Half Moon Bay Wedding and Event Planner for the past 12 years. And have extensive and diverse experience in the events industry in California and beyond. I got my start at The Ritz Carlton in the events department, worked as a venue manager then branched off to start my own business in 2019. I love details and meeting all the amazing couples and being a part of their journey!

“I have type-A tendencies with limited time for execution. I was overwhelmed by how many little things are involved in a wedding, how much coordination is needed between vendors and for timing and execution. I knew if not left in the hands of the right coordinator, I would obsesses and stress. I needed a vendor I could trust to handle EVERYTHING the day of and the weeks leading up. When I tell you I worried about nothing, I mean nothing. I hired Coastside for the final weeks and day-of coordination. I was nervous whether all the moving parts would come together. When those final weeks hit, she emerged like Mariah Carey the day after Thanksgiving and took over everything! It was as a sight to behold. She ran a cadre of vendors graceful as a symphony conductor. She thought of everything and missed nothing. Last minute decor adjustments, keeping me fed, my husband on time, running for the missing wedding ring. It was a pleasure to have her as part of the process and the day. Her level of attention to detail usually comes with a rigid type-A personality. But her management and people skills are as exceptional as her coordination. She was a delight to work with and have with us throughout our special day. People were genuinely shocked at how relaxed I was in the lead up (I'm not the relaxed kind). That was ALL Kelsey.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“As a fellow wedding vendor, I thought I'd seen it all when it came to wedding planning. Having meticulously planned nearly every detail of my own wedding for almost two years, I considered myself quite organized. However, bringing Yi on board as our month-of coordinator was undoubtedly the best decision we made for our wedding day. I initially connected with Yi through a previous wedding where we both worked, and her professionalism and calm demeanor immediately instilled a deep sense of trust. Knowing her work ethic firsthand, I had high expectations, but Yi didn't just meet them- she delivered far beyond anything we could have imagined! Yi possesses an amazing ability to anticipate needs and catch every single detail, no matter how small. Even with my extensive planning, she consistently reminded us of crucial elements we might have overlooked, ensuring nothing fell through the cracks. She meticulously managed every aspect of the day and even corrected a few design choices that were originally done erroneously by the venue, ensuring our vision was perfectly executed. On the wedding day, while there were inevitably a few small hiccups, Yi handled each one with such seamless efficiency that my husband and I were completely shielded from any stress. She truly went above and beyond, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of our celebration, without a single worry. Her presence was super calming, making what could have been chaotic day into the best day. We felt so supported and taken care of by her throughout the entire process. Beyond her incredible organizational skills, Yi's communication was always very responsive, clear, and reassuring. She is truly such a joy to work with. She even stayed late after the festivities to ensure all our personal items were packed up safely, demonstrating her unwavering commitment to her clients. If you are looking for a wedding planner or coordinator who is not only incredibly organized and detail-oriented but also genuinely cares about making your day flawless and stress-free, look no further than Yi. Her dedication, expertise, and commitment to her clients are unparalleled. We are so incredibly grateful for her extraordinary efforts and wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple seeking peace of mind and an unforgettable wedding experience.”

Thank you so much for considering Berkshire Lane Events! I absolutely love weddings and I strive to make your big day as easy and seamless as possible. This way you can enjoy all your hard work & focus on each other. I take the time to really get to know my couple (and their families!) prior to the wedding so that you can be assured I completely understand your vision and can execute it as if you were doing it yourself. This allows you to relax the night before and truly enjoy the entire wedding day.

“Hiring Ashley was easily one of the best decisions we made for our DIY wedding. Here’s why: 1. Ashley does it all. When you’re planning your own wedding, the last thing you want is to juggle a dozen vendors. The fact that Ashley is a day-of coordinator, florist, and dessert person is a huge plus. We even asked her to cater our farewell brunch the next day! 2. Flowers: They were freaking beautiful. We asked for bud vases and my bridal bouquet, and I’m not exaggerating when I say I teared up when I saw my bouquet. 3. Dessert: We told Ashley that our guests weren’t really dessert people, yet the fact that there was almost no dessert left is a testament to how tasty everything was. The heart cake she made for us to cut into was adorable and, unsurprisingly, delicious. 4. Day-of coordination: Where do I even begin? Ashley was easily the most responsive vendor we worked with, but more importantly, she has a way of putting you completely at ease—which means so much when you’re a DIY bride juggling a million things.
 Here’s the best example I have: just over a week before the wedding, I realized I had given Ashley the WRONG DATE for the wedding. I had somehow missed it in all our communications and contracts. It was 100% my fault, and when I realized it, I was this close to throwing up all over myself. We were one week out, and I was screaming. I immediately texted Ashley to apologize and ask if she was still free, and instead of freaking out, she simply said, “Don’t worry, I’ll figure it out. You’ll have a beautiful day—don’t worry!” And she did. She dealt with her hotel, juggled all the logistics for the flowers, and made it work.
 That’s exactly the same calm, helpful energy she brought on the wedding day. When I realized there was no wine on the tables during our reception, she handled it. When I asked her to come early for a rehearsal, she did. There were a million little details that I either a) thought I had accounted for (as someone who is extremely Type A and naturally anxious) or b) hadn’t even thought of (since I’d never planned a wedding before), and Ashley either handled them herself or discreetly gave me two potential solutions to choose from.
 One example: vendor meals. Obviously, you know you have to feed your vendors, but I hadn’t considered where they were going to eat—it was still on my to-do list the morning of the wedding. With a million things happening, I didn’t get to it, but thanks to Ashley, all our vendors were fed and I didn’t have to worry about it one bit. 5. Bonus perk: Ashley has a bunch of wedding items you can borrow (like candle holders, easels, signage), which is a game-changer when you want to be mindful of the planet and avoid buying, dumping, or reselling everything afterward. All this being said—if you’re a DIY bride and think you can just deal with all these little details yourself (or have your maid of honor or mom do it), don’t. Hire Ashley instead. No matter how organized or prepared you are (which I thought I was!), you need to hand over the reins—and Ashley is the perfect person to pick up where you leave off. The amount of stress and anxiety she took off my shoulders on our wedding day (and before that!) was worth every single penny. I cannot thank her enough.”

Weeks leading up to my wedding I was becoming burnt out. My amazing coordinator, Arianna, did such an amazing job taking charge of getting my ducks in a row and also keeping everything running smoothly during my wedding day. I appreciate her so much! I also had an amazing content creator, Nicolette, who was so sweet and was able to pull together content through her own creative lense while still understanding my vision. I opted for a content creator instead of a videographer, and don’t regret this decision at all. I was elated to receive my reels the next evening, and have watched them every day since. They are so good, and highlighted all of the happiest and most beautiful moments. Lastly, thank you to Katherine for her help with my SBB floral set up and return. I’m so pleased with Mostest. My best friend will also trust Mostest with her upcoming wedding this year, after seeing such a positive outcome.”

“Michelle and Raymundo are truly a dream team made in heaven. Our wedding was yesterday and there is no way that it could’ve been as amazing or even half as incredible if it wasn’t for their help and assistance for the past few months. They truly care about their clients as people first, and their work ethic shows that they believe in each couple’s vision and aspirations for their wedding. If you are thinking of finding a wedding planner for your event, please look no further because you truly will not find anyone better than them. There is no such thing as a perfect wedding, but they helped me achieve an almost flawless execution of everything that I could’ve wanted & more. We love y’all so much, oso events!”

“I had the pleasure of working with Natasha Cougoule of Parker & Paloma Events as the pianist for Aydin and Rachel’s intimate wedding on January 24, 2026, at their family home in Hillsborough. I’ve done many weddings, and hands down, Natasha made this one of the easiest and most enjoyable vendor experiences I’ve had. She first sent me a lead through GigSalad, then followed up warmly through email after the couple loved my repertoire, CC’d them right away, and asked what I needed to do my best— that’s already a great sign. From there, her communication was clear, kind, and consistent. She set up one main thread for all vendors, introduced herself as the single point of contact to protect the couple’s time, and added everyone to AislePlanner for easy access to timelines, layouts, and updates. She handled logistics thoughtfully: shared detailed PDFs with floor plans and piano placement early, flagged the switch to fully indoor (and the ceremony-to-reception flip), gave advance notice about playing gently since the piano was in the ceremony room, promised to cue music changes, and noted the wheelchair guest so we could all be prepared (family ramps were already in place- nice touch!). On the booking side, when the schedule ended up longer than the original GigSalad quote, she quickly checked with the couple, confirmed they were happy with an adjusted rate, and smoothly moved us off the platform to skip fees. She confirmed the deposit promptly, tested a small Venmo transfer first, and kept everything transparent and fair. Throughout, her emails stayed positive and collaborative—“I’m so excited,” “can’t wait to see your incredible work,” “hope you’re having a lovely day.” She asked for vendor preferences (meals, contact info, hours), sent final timelines with specific processional requests well in advance, and always invited feedback or questions. The day flowed beautifully because of her planning. Cues were perfect, the couple was relaxed, and everything felt effortless from my side. If you want a planner who’s organized, genuinely kind, proactive, and excellent at keeping vendors and clients happy, Natasha is outstanding. I’ve already recommended her to others and would love to work with her again. Highly recommend Park & Paloma Events and I’d say her work deserves 5 stars. Thank you, Natasha!”
