I felt at ease knowing that her expertise would result in a beautiful bridal hairstyle! I couldn’t be happier with the end result.

“We could not imagine working with any other photographer for our wedding! From our first video meeting to touch base, to our engagement shoot, and ultimately our wedding day, Marisa collaborated with us and other vendors with so much grace and a great sense of humor. She communicates clearly and punctually. We were particularly impressed with how she was able to wrangle our large families and get group photos together with confidence, but also captured the small, intimate moments so perfectly. We will forever cherish the photos that perfectly encapsulate the best day of our lives. Thank you so much, Marisa!”

  • Offers 2 services
  • Starts at $2,500

Hi, I'm Rachael! The planner behind Leonie Events, bringing good energy, thoughtful details, and a little bit of magic to weddings across the Bay Area and beyond. I'm all about celebrations that feel like you. From keeping the planning process organized to handling the behind-the-scenes chaos (so you never have to), I'm here to make sure you can actually enjoy every moment. You bring the love, I'll handle the logistics!

“As with many DIY brides, I came to Rachael in an hour of need. I was two months out from the wedding, had done all the “fun things” on my own, and desperately needed someone to help put the pieces together and fill in the gaps. Rachael went above and beyond. She put together a timeline and saw through every detail, even ones I hadn’t anticipated. Her many victories through the planning process included: - signing a florist who carried my off-season request of calla lilies - securing a last-minute AV tech who was up for the challenge of a windy outdoor beach ceremony - strategizing for multi-component DIY catering - facilitating event staffing and coordination - organizing and leading a walk-through and resolving every last detail Throughout all of this, Rachael was exceptionally kind and easy to work with. She proactively sought out contracts, anticipated my responses and needs, and perhaps most importantly restored my sanity. My wedding would have been a disaster without her and I really truly could not recommend her enough. Thank you for everything, Rachael! (Photo by @moniquebiancaphoto)”

  • Videographer

People ask us what inspired us to begin filming weddings... It actually all started with our own! We were absolutely blown away with our own wedding film. It was cinematic, beautiful, and totally embodied our personalities and the significance behind our wedding. Our videographers were absolutely wonderful, and actually ended becoming lasting friends of ours. It was our experience with them (and our continued friendship with them and other incredible videographers) that inspired us to take the leap, develop our skills and begin capturing couples' weddings. We've since filmed almost 150 weddings and are loving every second.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Shawn and his team did an incredible job of capturing a vivid visual experience of our wedding day. The combination of different perspectives, cameras (hand-held and drone), excellent sound quality and creative editing; led to a finished product that moves us to tears every time we watch! Even the hours of unedited footage is excellent quality and beautiful to watch. We highly recommend Shawn and his team to memorialize the most important days of your life.”

“I didn’t even know where to begin! Choosing to work with Vic was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our engagement. Since my partner and I don’t really use social media, we’re not exactly selfie pros—in fact, we’re pretty awkward in front of the camera. That’s why we knew we needed a professional to capture this special moment, and let me tell you, Vic was amazing. As someone who had no clue how to pose, I was so grateful for her expert guidance. She made the entire experience feel effortless, and our photos turned out absolutely stunning—timeless, elegant, and so full of emotion. I never imagined I’d actually enjoy taking photos, but Vic made it such a fun and memorable experience! Beyond her incredible skills behind the camera, she was also a fantastic adviser when it came to choosing locations, and her warm, friendly personality made us feel completely at ease. We loved her so much, and I truly can’t recommend her enough. Writing this review is making me emotional because I’m just so grateful that she was our photographer. Thank you, Vic!!”

Trained by his late father, the legendary DJ TeddyB, music is in his DNA. Every beat he drops carries a legacy of passion, precision, and pure joy.

“Trecee was our DJ for our outdoor wedding reception, and he was amazing! My husband and I were originally going to just play music from our phone, but I’m glad that we found and hired Trecee instead! With no coordinator and last minute changes before and on the day of our wedding, Trecee remained professional, flexible, and fun as our DJ and MC! He followed our song cue list wonderfully, and helped us remix our first dance songs just how we planned. He made announcements we had set on the schedule as well as additional ones requested. He also made funny comments, which totally added to the vibes. His music choices were just what we were looking for, and even with a request by my family to switch to slower songs, he did it seamlessly; Fun, hyped songs for the younger crowd and romantic songs for the elders. He arrived about 45 minutes before his contract hours started to set up and even gave us (bridal party) warnings and updates on getting behind or on track of schedule! (Which is very helpful as, again, we didn’t have a coordinator.) Overall, he is a great DJ & MC, and my now husband and I would highly recommend his services! I will post more pictures once available.”

I’ve been playing weddings for over twelve years and I love my work! My services cover any or all aspects of wedding & receptions. I have found my life’s artistic calling in becoming flexible to every type of music my clients could desire. I learn to enjoy whatever my clients love and this resonance makes my job sustainable and ever-enjoyable. But, I do tend to request the ability to make choices for the dance-floor that rely on my years of dance-enhancing experience. I meet with my clients to determine what music they would love to hear and what music they do NOT want to hear.

“Brandon was an outstanding DJ who supported our wedding this last February. I loved that he had outfit options, as our wedding was themed "Love Through the Ages" and we requested all of our guests to wear attire from their favorite decade. It was fabulous that we were able to pick his super awesome outfit to stand out (and in theme) for the wedding. He curated the most amazing playlist, based on our theme, so we got to drift through music from the 20's, 30's, 40's, and all the way through to current day. He is such a charismatic and engaging host and was able to convince folks (who I never thought would have danced) to get onto the dance floor. I can't say enough about how pleased we were with Brandon's talents and feel so grateful that The Knot had him on their vendor list for us to find.”

Kanteen was founded by Chef Dinesh & Vishwas — two food lovers whose journey began in the most unexpected place: a badminton court. During the Covid years, Chef Dinesh created a unique 5- course Friday night menu for home delivery. Around the same time, I (Vishwas) was finishing his MBA at Wharton. The menu’s bold flavors and creativity struck a chord so deeply that I dropped my plan to move into finance and instead followed my passion. With our shared love for food, we started Kanteen. What began as a simple idea has grown into one of the Bay Area’s most trusted catering teams, delivering elevated, heartfelt experiences for large events.

“We chose Kanteen for our professional event, and this was our third time working with them — they continue to be an outstanding partner. The team is consistently thoughtful, organized, and genuinely invested in getting every detail right. The food was a highlight once again, especially the Old Delhi Chicken and Tres Leches Ras Malai, both of which received rave reviews from our guests. A great experience all around.”

“Richard was helpful and respectful throughout our entire wedding planning process. He worked flawlessly with me, my partner, and our wedding planner to pull off an incredibly fun reception. Richard did an initial call with my partner to discuss the general vibe we were looking for, and we knew immediately he would be a great fit for our wedding. Richard gave us a helpful questionnaire to fill out key songs and general musical interests (and do not play songs). Richard was also happy to jump on calls with us to talk through our questions and hopes for our big day. I especially appreciated that Richard was able to play some German songs for some guests who had flown in from Germany, as that got even some of our older relatives on the dance floor. People were partying all night thanks to Richard! Richard catered to our wide age range of guests, and even gave us a couple of bonus closing songs that were the perfect conclusion to the night. We could not have asked for a better DJ.”

“The gardens at Heather farms was everything we were looking for in a venue. We wanted outdoors with lots of plant life, a reception space that was not a barn, fairytale vibes, ability to choose our own vendors, have a full bar, plenty of time at the venue to have the day of our dreams, and LGBTQ friendly. The gardens delivered all of this and was well within our budget. As a lesbian couple it was very important to us to find a venue and vendors that felt like supportive allies and from our first meeting with GHF we felt very welcome. We also loved that the only vendor they had a preferred list for was catering (the list had many great options and we were very happy with our choice), this allowed us to ensure that all of our other vendors we hired were also allies or members of the queer community. They were great to work with and everything went so smooth the day-of. It was also stunning, the rose gardens feel so magical and I loved that we didn’t need to worry about much decor for the ceremony space. Everything was beautifully in bloom even in mid-October. If I could go back and do it over again I would still choose to get married at the gardens in a heartbeat! Another thing we love is that it’s open to the public when it is not closed for private events, so leading up to our wedding we spent a lot of time visiting just because! We took my mom there for a Mother’s Day picnic and also went with friends. I can’t wait to return as newlyweds again and again.”
