At Latin and Asian Hospitality Group, we believe your wedding menu should be as unique as your love story. Based in Campbell, CA and serving the greater Bay Area — including San Jose, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Redwood City, Los Gatos, and beyond — we are a full-service catering and bar company specializing in bold, beautifully crafted fusion cuisine. 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!

Kaci Danae Events

  • Planner
  • Offers 5 services
  • Serves San Carlos, 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!

Carlos provided wonderful service at both our engagement shoto shoot and the day of our ceremony. He started both with a quick speech on posing and posture to help everyone look their best. 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.

We found TPE through Yelp and are so glad we chose Leah.

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!

We held our wedding reception at Saratoga Springs in the Cathedral Grove region of the venue on a Saturday in October. After visiting them for a walkthrough, we booked this venue about a year and a few months in advance. This was the first venue we visited and we fell in love! We felt a great family-like vibe from the staff, starting with Jennifer who coordinated our initial booking and tour. Throughout our time preparing for this event, Olivia and Sam were extraordinary in their communication, response time, and knowledge of these events. They did a wonderful job in helping us understand what we needed vs. what we wanted and good decisions to make. They never tried to upsell us on more expensive options, always letting us know the best value for what we wanted. Throughout this process, we knew we had made the right choice in terms of staff. Scenically, Saratoga Springs is stunning! An outdoor venue with several different species of large trees like oaks and redwoods, many small creeks that run through and around the venue, and several amenities included such as lights that wrap around the trees, a firepit, and artificial turf that you can actually wear high heels on! We were in love with the scenery immediately because our reception was LOTR/Legend of Zelda themed and this was perfect for us. Throughout the actual event, the Saratoga Springs staff was excellent. They assisted us and our own day of wedding coordinators in running the event and making sure we had everything that they could provide. Our reception was during a brutal heat wave in the Bay Area, but Cathedral Grove had so many large trees that the shade they provided meant the floor never got hot and it felt more like 75 degrees which was SO essential for the comfort of ourselves and our guests. Everything was great, and we give the venue and their staff a 10/10. There was one glaring issue we want to address. The DJ we booked, Paul Dominguez, was a very nice man. He seemed to be on top of it, being in constant communication with us leading up to the event. We felt that he was going to do a great job. Yet, when it came time for the event, he made SEVERAL mistakes in what we asked him to do that we felt the need to address this situation and performance. He is part of the approved vendor list for DJs but we honestly feel Saratoga Springs needs to either reevaluate him or discuss this with him because literally everything else about the night was perfect for us, except him. Again, he is a nice guy and even provided cold sparklers for us for free which we really appreciated, but the lack of attention to detail in several aspects of this night was something we felt we needed to address here. Overall, Saratoga Springs is an excellent venue choice for a big event like a wedding/reception and we are happy to recommend anyone looking for a venue. We had an amazing experience for our reception and we are very satisfied with the staff and scenery of this venue.

She was also so kind, thoughtful, and supportive, going above and beyond to make sure I looked and felt my absolute best. I'm thrilled with the results and would highly recommend Adrianne to anyone looking for a talented, reliable beauty team to be a part of their special day. Thank you for everything, Adrianne!

I would highly recommend booking this museum in Los Altos for your wedding or any event, really. The venue is absolutely stunning for an outdoor wedding and has an indoor section too. We really wanted a cozy intimate backyard wedding vibe and that's exactly what we got here! Huge plus is my husband loves history, and you get free access to the museum for a year with a ton of other benefits once you have an event here your donation is tax deductible. You also don't need much decor at all due to the natural beauty but we hired a decorator for the arches, stages, and table settings. Lisa will also give you a list of vendors partners you can work with just in case. Overall, she was really amazing to work with and super responsive because anytime we needed to do a tour walk through with vendors or a tour of the venue, she was there. Thanks Lisa for answering all my questions!! You can't go wrong having your wedding here. We had a spring wedding of close to 200 folks and thank God it didn't rain but summer or even fall would be beautiful here. For photoshoot opportunities there’s a ton onsite and a beautiful orchard just steps away from the museum for sunset shots. A magical day indeed.

  • Serves San Carlos, CA

The moments you remember most aren’t usually the ones that were planned. My approach is documentary-driven and unhurried, focused on connection, movement, and the quiet in-between moments that tend to mean the most later. I work best with couples who value presence over perfection and want images that feel honest, intimate, and timeless. Whether your day is big or small, traditional or unconventional, my goal is to create space for you to be fully yourselves — and to tell your story as it naturally unfolds.

Working with Ripple Rain Photography was an absolute dream from start to finish! From the moment we first connected, she was easygoing, approachable, and incredibly professional, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. As a gay couple, finding someone who truly understands and celebrates love in all its forms was so important to us, and Ripple Rain Photography exceeded all our expectations. She brought a warm, inclusive energy that made us feel seen, respected, and celebrated. Ripple Rain Photography was more than just a photographer; she was a genuine part of our special day. She engaged with us and our guests effortlessly, making everyone feel comfortable and capturing authentic, beautiful moments. Her ability to direct us naturally while also letting our personalities shine was a testament to her talent and experience. And the pictures—oh my goodness—the pictures are beyond stunning! Every shot radiates with love, joy, and the magic of the day. From candid moments to perfectly composed portraits, she has an eye for detail and creativity that brought our wedding memories to life. The quality of her work is unparalleled, and her work ethic is impeccable. She went above and beyond to ensure every moment was captured perfectly, even staying late to snap a few last-minute shots we requested. If you’re looking for a photographer who is professional, artistic, and truly passionate about her craft, look no further than Ripple Rain Photography. She is an absolute gem, especially for LGBTQ couples who want someone who “gets it” and makes the experience unforgettable. We cannot recommend her highly enough and will cherish her work forever. Thank you, Ripple Rain Photography, for capturing the best day of our lives so beautifully! Ivan & Tommy Sunderland

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.

First off we want to give a huge shout out to Emily, our coordinator. She was extremely professional, personable with us and our wedding party, and just made us feel like we could relax and enjoy our day. She handled the bride's stress with decorations on the rehearsal day with such grace and really put me at ease, she made sure we got the dip down for the ceremony, and we loved how well she got along with everyone right away and was able to establish trust quickly: getting in on our inside jokes early and even taking a bridesmaid's baby so she could go get her food. Tony, our banquet captain was very sweet and made sure we got to do all the things we asked for in our reception and that went smoothly. He always made sure I had a fresh drink :) Diego and Krystal were great bartenders! Diego was very popular amongst our guests and was really nice. Javier and Alessandro in the kitchen were great, we only heard raving reviews about the food. We loved the food as well, especially because we were concerned because at the extravaganza event earlier, we did not really like the food as much. So we were relieved the food was so good. DJ Brian was so great too! He was super nice and positive in our meeting through the event. We especially appreciate his effort with playing the video to surprise my dad. The servers (Gisselle, Lucas, Kennia, and Nate) were great as well and made sure we had drinks and apps and the guests said they did well. Kelli, Tiffany, and Melissa were also good. I appreciated the quick response every time I texted about a question or a change. They would call me right away. That helped planning tremendously and made me feel like I was in good hands.
