Rhiannon was such a treat to work with! I was a very indecisive and clueless bride, and she guided me through every step in planning my wedding, answered every question I had, and provided me with the best day-of coordination that I could ask for! I also hired her as my DJ, and having her for both coordination and DJ-ing allowed for a seamless wedding day with no hiccups. I am so grateful that I hired Rhiannon for my wedding day. I couldn't recommend Heartbeat Events more! Thank you for everything, Rhiannon! (photo attached is a "thank you card" I sent after my wedding)

Kayla & the Ascend Events team was an absolute pleasure to work with & I hope that we work in tandem for many more future events. I own/operate Mount Tom House and worked with Kayla as we planned a couple's wedding weekend. Sometimes my job & responsibilities as the venue host overlaps with a wedding planner's. I loved working with Kayla because her communication was clear, consistent, and honest throughout the entire planning process & we were able to jointly work together as a true *team.* I was involved in the couple's on-site planning meetings and it was SO COOL to see Kayla take the couple's ideas & preferences and bring them to life at Mount Tom House. Kayla's work was extremely thorough, creative, and day-of she was one of the hardest working people at Mount Tom - she didn't stop all day! She is a true advocate for her clients and for the hired vendors. She doesn't leave a single stone unturned and is extremely detail-oriented in her planning (a huge value to a venue owner!). If you have the opportunity to work with Kayla, whether as a fellow vendor or as a couple seeking wedding planning and coordination, I highly, highly recommend you seize the opportunity!

I have been planning events for the last 20 years, on the side. I have always loved hosting people, and I've done a few bridal and baby showers. At my previous job, I helped plan several employee luncheons and holiday parties, with about 100-150 employees attending. I even led the planning a few times. In the summers of 2021 and 2022, I became an on-site wedding coordinator for a local venue, with 5 weddings each summer. In 2023, I coordinated 11 weddings, and in 2024, I coordinated and planned 17 weddings. I'm halfway booked up for 2025!

Paige was an incredible (or dare I say, perfect) wedding coordinator for our August 2026 wedding at Rocky Hill Events in White Salmon. From our very first call, we connected with Paige due to her warmth, confidence, experience, and passion for working with couples to execute their dream wedding days. Throughout our year and a half engagement, Paige was kind, caring, organized, and supportive. In the month leading up to our wedding, she was punctual and on top of every call and was always quick to respond to any questions or requests. We had a few small hiccups at our wedding that Paige was able to help remedy. She was compassionate when my mom received an unexpected breast cancer diagnosis, offering ideas of ways to support her on the big day. She also helped workshop solutions to small family and friend dynamic problems we encountered along the way, always centering us as the couple in her work. She also brought along a wedding day assistant, Jillian, who was wonderful as well! Paige is more than just a coordinator, she truly becomes your friend in the process, which is exactly what we were hoping for. While we unfortunately will only have one wedding day, we’d hire Paige and Silver and Sunlight Events a hundred times again if we could. We highly recommend other Oregon or Southwest Washington couples do the same. ️

Hello, I'm Olivia! I love to craft authentic, deeply-curated events that truly celebrate you and your partner. That means I live for the funky details: adding wild turkey feathers to your floral arrangements, asking the ring bearer to dress as a hobbit, ditching your heels for some comfy sneakers during the reception, getting hitched at midnight… whatever you can dream of! I like to say, "everyone's been to a wedding... but they haven't been to YOURS!"

If you are currently looking for a wedding planner – STOP EVERYTHING ELSE RIGHT NOW AND BOOK OLIVIA IMMEDIATELY! You will not regret it. Olivia went above and beyond 1000% when helping us plan our wedding. It simply could not have happened so smoothly and perfectly without her. Olivia is extremely kind and attentive and was a huge support throughout the process. We had some ups, downs and twists with things out of our control and Olivia pivoted flawlessly to fix things and put any stress I had to rest. She is a positive force to be reckoned with and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I am a very DIY planner type myself but you simply cannot be there managing everything on the actual wedding day. You NEED someone to help and Olivia is that person. She was an excellent sounding board for all of my thoughts and ideas, a layout making queen and she dealt with my vendors seamlessly! The #1 absolute best decision I made when planning my wedding was hiring Olivia. SO SO WORTH IT. Thank you Olivia!!!

I’ve been working in the wedding industry since before I had a driver’s license. My father is a SoCal based wedding videographer of 20 years. Starting as a young teen, he would let me tag along to weddings to help haul equipment. I fell in love with the hustle and I ended up working 15+ weddings as his assistant videographer before I left for college. Professionally, I have been working as a stage manager in events and entertainment for 9 years, mostly in the SLC, Utah area. I always felt the wedding industry calling me back, so about 3 years ago I began applying my events management skills to wedding planning and never looked back.

Working with Nottingham Events made planning our wedding feel effortless from start to finish. They stayed in touch with us throughout the process, always responding quickly and explaining things in a way that was easy to understand. They caught details I would have missed and suggested creative solutions that made our day even better. On our wedding day, everything ran smoothly because they had thought through every step ahead of time. We felt supported and stress-free, which let us actually enjoy the experience. Nottingham Events truly delivered an amazing service, and we'd immediately and highly recommend them to any couple looking for a planner.

Welcome! I’m Kenya, a passionate wedding and event coordinator based in Eugene, Oregon with a unique background in stage management and architecture! With a degrees in Theatre design, stage management, and Architecture I’ve honed my skills in organization, creativity, and problem-solving—essentials for orchestrating unforgettable events. I believe every event should reflect the individuality of those celebrating it, and I’m dedicated to crafting personalized, stress-free occasions that leave lasting memories. Let’s create something beautiful together!

We are so thankful we had Kenya as our day-of coordinator! We planned a mostly DIY wedding at Yachats inn and about a month and a half before the wedding, we realized we really needed someone to help take over the logistics of the day. She reached out to me when I put my feelers out in a Facebook group, and we are so glad she did! She was very kind and communicative throughout the planning process and was always so helpful during our meetings. She was wonderful at our rehearsal and truly kept everything on track on the wedding day. We had to adapt some of our plans because of the weather and had a few last-minute changes, but she handled everything with such grace and stayed calm through it all. She kept the day moving and took stress off of us so we could enjoy our wedding. Thank goodness we had her! We would absolutely recommend Kenya to anyone planning a wedding

Some people are planners. Some people are doers. And me? I’m both. So, it’s only natural that my love for both planning and doing, as well as infatuation with fostering and nurturing community, would eventually lead me to the event industry. I’ve been in the service industry for over 20 years. From office management to residential loan coordination to bartending, my love for connection inspired a professional transition to full-time event planning. Meeting with clients, discussing their visions, and witnessing their joy fuels and inspires me every day. My calm, organized approach ensures you have the best wedding day experience.

As the owner of Pure Vision Entertainment, I’ve had the privilege over many years of working alongside Krystle of Krystle Clear Events on numerous weddings, and let me tell you—she is truly one of the best in the industry. As a DJ who is very detailed oriented himself, I greatly appreciate her approach and thoroughness with her couples vision. Her attention to detail, ability to anticipate every need before it even crosses your mind or the knack to keep a calm head when the unexpected happens. Weddings can be stressful, but Krystle has this way of making everything feel effortless, not just for the couple but for everyone involved. She’s the type of planner who goes beyond logistics—she creates experiences. Beyond her professionalism, Krystle is just an incredible person/planner/friend/mom. She genuinely cares about her couples, listens to their vision, and brings it all to life in a way that feels personal and like you've been friends for years. Do yourself a favor and at least have a conversation with her. Jared Berglund Pure Vision Ent. Owner/DJ

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
Hiring Ashley at Rose Event Co as our Day of Wedding Coordinator was definitely one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. I thought I was going to be able to manage planning our entire wedding myself, but as the day crept closer and closer, I realized that I was definitely going to need a hand. We spoke with a dozen different coordinators, and Ashley just stood out SO strongly amongst the rest. To put it as simply as possible, she saw our vision, she understood it, she stood in and shared in it with us. She knew exactly how to support us in making it happen, and she was easily able to make us feel that. We initially had concerns about her being located so far away from us (we're in Oakland, CA), but she put those concerns to rest so quickly! Throughout my months of planning after hiring Ashley, she was always there to answer my questions, and provide support and reassurance in all of the little things that I just wasn't sure how to handle myself, and she did so with such grace, patience, and an air of calm that was so extremely helpful and reassuring. When the month of our wedding arrived, Ashley quickly got to work on communicating with and organizing all of our vendors and laying out the structure for the day. She traveled to Monte Rio to be with us the day before our big day, walked us through the ceremony, went over all of the details, and left us so confident and comfortable in her extremely capable hands. The day of the wedding, Ashley handled EVERYTHING and EVERYONE with such care and tranquility. All of our wedding vendors absolutely loved her, and we never stopped hearing about how great she was to work with! Ashley is an absolute BOSS in all of the best ways that you can imagine! She is supportive, encouraging, communicative, active, helpful, caring, the list just goes on and on. She wants you to succeed, and you can FEEL it. She remembered and double checked on all of the little details, before, during, and after our wedding, and words simply cannot express our gratitude. She did so many things automatically, that I hadn't even thought to discuss with her, but was so grateful that we had her there to do. Thank you Ashley!! She did so many little things that I didn't even realize until I started looking through all of our photos, and noticed that they had all been done. On top of all of that, she basically packed up the entirety of our decor with the assistance of her extremely helpful husband, which was such a huge relief for us and for our wedding party who had put so much into the day. We were all able to completely disconnect and just enjoy the evening, which was so unbelievably priceless. There are so many things that make Ashley stand out from other coordinators. So many coordinators that we had talked to before Ashley had a big list of things that they would NOT do, but not Ashley. She was willing to do whatever needed to be done to ensure that our wedding day went perfectly, and it did, thanks to her!! HUGE bonus, she brought along her Super 8 camera, and we CANNOT WAIT to see the footage!! If you're looking for someone who has your back, and can handle ALL of the things with a level of calm that oozes into everyone around her, HIRE ASHLEY! You absolutely will not regret it. Thank you so much Ashley, for EVERYTHING that you did, and for ALL of your help in making our wedding day so unbelievably perfect!!

Delaney did such an amazing job running the show at my wedding! We had a lot of set-up that she executed for us perfectly, and some quirky timeline/vendor things that she managed really seamlessly. We had rain, which was a little stressful, but she helped keep us calm and deal with the changes in the timeline/plan that occurred as a result. She was right there when we needed her, all night, with a smile on her face. She was the perfect balance of "going with the flow" when things came up but also getting things done in an efficient and organized way. She had an answer or idea for any dilemma that came up, and we definitely utilized a lot of her suggestions. Would 100% recommend her!

Decorations are an important and lovely part of a wedding, but I try to always remember why we spend all this time and resources on a party - because we want the people we love to celebrate with us.

Kaila is really great! We hired her as our day-of coordinator for our recent micro wedding and it was absolutely one of the best decisions we made. She was able to advise us on the event timeline, toast procedure, etc. in the months leading up to the big day, which was incredibly helpful since we'd never done this before. She also attended our rehearsal and helped make sure everything ran smoothly and everyone knew the plan. She was great at collaborating with our officiant during this process as well. But it was the day of the event when she really shined. As the bride, I didn't want to have to think about any logistics at the venue while I was getting ready and with Kaila, I didn't have to! She sent me one quick question via text that morning that I was glad to weigh in and otherwise, she totally took care of the rest. The venue looked amazing, everything ran like clockwork, and she made sure to keep us in the loop when (and only when) it was necessary. She even brought us some appetizers to snack on while we were waiting on a vendor to arrive to bustle my dress so that we didn't miss out on our own food! If you're looking for a great partner to provide just that little extra coordination the day of your event, I highly recommend Kaila!

To all couples reading this: You need someone you can trust to be a calm center to your wedding day. I met Mina on a recent wedding and wanted to testify to her skills. As an experienced wedding videographer who has worked over 500 weddings I knew when I met Mina that this wedding day was going to be smooth sailing. As the day unfolded, her coordination kept everyone in the loop, gave us all time to breathe, transition, and regroup! I can easily recommend Mina to anyone looking for an detailed, and carefully run wedding day. She was as friendly as she was professional, and didn't skip a beat. I've worked with some planners who lay out impossible timelines, are MIA during key moments, or get heated when things start moving fast... Trust me, a good coordinator is the best money you're going to spend on your wedding day!

She offered support prior to the day of to make sure I had things in order. She was on top of everything from start to finish. On the day of, she helped me execute my wedding vision while keeping me calm (and fed!). As everyone always says, something is bound to go wrong on the day of the wedding, but with Mailee everything felt okay. Her support helped ease my and my family’s stress, ensuring all of my loved ones had a great time. I will recommend her to anyone I know looking for wedding planning support. Thank you Mailee for everything!

Would give higher than 5 stars if we could! We worked with McKenzie at TIB and we could not have had a more seamless and wonderful experience. McKenzie took over all of the small details leading up to and including the big day, and most importantly, allowed us to actually live in the moment during our wedding. During the wedding itself, McKenzie was somehow simultaneously out of sight and everywhere we needed her to be. It was the most magical and stress-free day and it was all because of her and her team. Communication was easy, ultra responsive, and constantly reassuring (which was SO needed!). We would recommend TIB to anyone who is looking for their offered services. - Harry & Julie

I was the Mother of the Bride. We had the wedding at our house, and Jenny was absolutely fantastic. She took care of everything before the wedding with a couple of visits to the house and via calls and email. On the day of, Jenny took care of everything- it wasn't the smoothest day because we had rain (Oregon), but Jenny was flawless in handling it. She also recommended a wonderful waitstaff that I will definitely hire again. I highly recommend Jenny with Daisy May Events

Jodie is the best!! My wedding was in June of 2021 and I still look back on how awesome Jodie was for our wedding planning needs! She is super knowledgeable about EVERYTHING. She helps you think of the tiniest details that are easy to forget. She was there for all of our vendor calls and always had everything well planned out! She created a month by month itinerary which helped us stay on track. Anytime we had to pick our next vendor for something she would have a call with us to understand what our needs were for that specific vendor and then go back and do research to compile a list of top 3-5 vendors that match our needs and gives pros/cons for each one. She makes sure they’re all in our budget but doesn’t show us the prices upfront so we don’t automatically pick the cheapest or most expensive and actually pick with our hearts. Once we’ve narrowed down to 2-3 vendors then we see prices and helps us pick! This made sure we had the day we truly wanted. Not only was she great leading up but she was amazing day of! There were a couple of hiccups on our venue’s end but Jodie made sure everything was taken care of so that we weren’t stressed. She is truly the best!!!! Would for sure recommend to everyone!!

I don't believe there is a one-size-fits-all formula for weddings. Your relationship is unique, and your wedding should reflect that! That's why Golden Day Wedding Co offers a completely customizable planning/coordination packages. I want to hear your wedding day vision and work with you to identify specific needs. Maybe you want a vintage popcorn machine or you're looking to include your pets in the ceremony. Or maybe you want to book a live band and DIY your floral decor. Whatever ideas you may have, I want to work with you to make your wedding as amazing as you've imagined!

We met Kacie from Golden Day over a year before our wedding date and booked her after our very first meeting. Choosing a day-of coordinator really comes down to personal preference. We met with some coordinators who were pretty aggressive, and came off as overbearing. That’s not Kacie. Kacie acts as a calm, stress-neutralizing sounding board for your ideas. Anything you share with her is met with, “Yes, that’s a great idea, let’s make it happen.” She doesn’t try to steer your vision; instead, she supports your creativity and helps keep it on track as your ideas evolve. She shows up when you need her and is always willing to take a phone call without hesitation or making you feel like you're on the clock. With Kacie, there were no stupid questions, we could ask her anything, even twice, and we were met with her optimistic attitude and supportive responses. On our wedding day, Kacie maintained her positive, poised demeanor as she set up the entire ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception space with very little help. There were some issues at the start of the ceremony, but Kacie never seemed phased. Not once did she let stress show or allow it to leak into our headspace leading up to, or during the big day. Kacie was also incredible about making sure we actually ate on our wedding day. So many friends told us, “You’ll never eat at your own wedding.” Well, they clearly didn’t hire Kacie. After the ceremony, cocktail-hour appetizers magically appeared while we waited for our grand entrance. As soon as we sat down, she had plates of dinner ready for us. At the end of the night, my wife and I were actually able to head to the after-party with our friends, and that was because of Kacie. She stayed behind and left the venue spotless so we wouldn’t incur any additional charges. In fact, she wrapped everything up so efficiently that our catering team was able to leave early, and we were credited back an hour of service. Our day truly was golden, if we could choose one word to describe it, as corny as that sounds. And it wouldn’t have happened without Kacie.

We are SO grateful we hired Samantha from Bloom Events as our planner! From day one, she made everything easy and genuinely enjoyable. She handled vendor communication, built us a super organized timeline, and even reminded us of little things we never would’ve thought of (like arranging transportation for grandparents and creating a backup rain plan that looked just as beautiful as Plan A!). On the wedding day, Samantha was incredible at setting up the décor exactly how we pictured it, keeping the wedding party on schedule, and fixing a last minute boutonniere issue before I even knew it happened. Because of her, we were able to relax and fully enjoy the day. If you want a planner who is friendly, detail oriented, and truly invested in making your wedding perfect, Samantha is the one. Couldn’t recommend more!
