Elegance Unleashed 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Offers 7 services
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves San Leandro, CA

I am the founder of Elegance Unleashed, specializing in thoughtful, design-forward weddings with a strong focus on seamless execution. With a background in program management, I bring structure, clarity, and a calm, organized presence to every celebration, ensuring each moment feels intentional and flows effortlessly from start to finish.

Choosing Evelyn and the team at Elegance Unleashed was hands-down the best decision we made for our wedding. From day one, Evelyn was incredibly organized, flexible, and empathetic to our stress levels. She kept us on track with tasks, was entirely open to our vision, and has an exceptional eye for design. She brought so much creativity to our decor—even pulling from her own personal resources to elevate our venue far beyond what we had originally planned. She is also deeply thoughtful, catching countless tiny logistics we never would have thought of and even sending sweet notes and small gifts at the 1-month and 1-week milestones. The day-of execution was completely flawless. Thanks to Evelyn’s tight communication with our vendors, our timeline ran perfectly and we started the ceremony exactly to the minute. I didn't feel a single ounce of stress all day because I completely trusted her. She and her amazing assistants, Bianca and Anahi, handled absolutely everything from arrival through end-of-night take-down. Evelyn and her team are professional, brilliant at what they do, and genuinely FUN to work with. We would recommend Elegance Unleashed to anyone without a single shred of hesitation!

Aesthetic Embassy

  • Offers 7 services
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves San Leandro, 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 completely effortless and truly special. From the very beginning, they took everything into their hands, so we had zero stress or questions along the way. It all felt incredibly personal thoughtful, and beautifully done. It was such a joy to develop the concept together, our conversations felt creative and exciting, not like typical planning. On the wedding day, everything ran so smoothly that we could actually relax and enjoy every moment. Couldn’t recommend them more.

We are so grateful we chose Kalyna with Bella Dia Events as our day-of coordinator! From our very first Zoom meeting, she was so warm, professional, and genuinely excited to help us bring our wedding day to life. She made the days leading up to the wedding completely stress-free, always checking in to see if I needed anything and guiding us through the rehearsal when I had no idea what I was doing. On the wedding day itself, Kalyna was amazing. I had made all my own decorations, and she made sure every single piece was placed perfectly. She kept everything running smoothly, handled the timeline and vendors seamlessly, and most importantly, she made sure both my husband and I actually ate — which I know we wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for her. Kalyna went above and beyond in every way, and I can’t imagine our wedding without her. If you’re looking for someone who will keep you calm, organized, and truly cared for on your big day, I highly recommend Bella Dia Events!

Awarded Best of Zola
Amanda was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she was always available whenever I had a question or concern. No matter how big or small, she responded quickly, reassured me, and made the entire planning process feel so much less stressful. On our wedding day, she was absolutely incredible. While we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment, Amanda was behind the scenes making sure everything ran flawlessly. She handled every detail with such professionalism and care, and I know there were countless things she took care of that we never even had to think about. The perfect example of this is something I didn’t even find out about until a few days after the wedding. A family member told me that our cake was about to be cut and served before we had done our cake-cutting ceremony. Amanda caught it just in time and handled everything so seamlessly that I had absolutely no idea anything had happened. That’s how amazing she was. If there was ever a hiccup, I never knew about it because she took care of it before it ever reached us. She allowed us to be completely present, soak in every moment, and truly enjoy our wedding day without a single worry. I am so incredibly grateful for Amanda and everything she did to make our wedding perfect. She gave us the gift of a beautiful, seamless, and genuinely stress-free day, and that is priceless. If you’re looking for a wedding coordinator who truly cares, anticipates problems before they happen, and goes above and beyond for her couples, I cannot recommend Amanda highly enough. She exceeded every expectation, and we will always be grateful for everything she did to make our day so special!

It was a pleasure working with Kaiya! She was very cooperative, knowledgeable, and organized throughout the entire process. The package I chose with Kaiya was the event management service. Wedding planning was a bit stressful for me since it was just my partner and I planning the whole thing together but 3 months before the event Kaiya jumped in and helped manage all of our vendors, helped with day of timeline, and more. She also helped coordinate the rehearsals and the day of the wedding. I truly did not have to worry about a single thing on my wedding day, Kaiya handled everything with ease and care, and she guided us through our timelines of events that day with expertise. Without her I don’t know how I would have been able to manage everything on my own. I appreciate her greatly and am glad I was able to work with her! Thank you again Kaiya!

As the founder of AWE Planner, you might wonder: How did she become a planner? How many events do we coordinate each year? What inspires us about this work? For founder Jenn Greel, becoming a wedding and event planner was a natural path. Her journey began with bartending private events, and planning gatherings for friends, which eventually spared the idea of launching her own planning business. From our first wedding fair to signing our first client-who happened to be a coworker at the time-AWE Planner was built from scratch. With every event we've learned, grown, and harnessed our experiences to shape the outstanding team we are today.

My wife and I got married a few months ago and we hired Jenn from Awe Planner for our ceremony. It was at the Palace of Fine Arts in SF. Jenn was super communicative during the planning phase and extremely detail oriented. She came to the rehearsal and was able to see our vision and make sure everyone was on board. She was GREAT with the kids too which was helpful! Wedding day, Jenn was absolutely ON IT and super incredible! She was very professional and knew exactly what to do even when a few things went wrong…. She quickly pivoted and still able to execute flawlessly. I never packed at any point as I knew Jenn had everything under control at all times. Her energy is great- positive and high but not overwhelming at all… literally Perfect! We had several people compliment us on how well she did which is when you know that u hired the right team! Jenn truly made our wedding ceremony run perfectly and we would 200% recommend her and hire her again if we needed! 10/10 hire her! Thank you again, Jenn!!!!

I cannot recommend Cynthia enough! The last three months leading up to my wedding were incredibly stressful, but bringing Cynthia on board as our day-of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment she stepped in, she brought a sense of calm and control that truly helped relieve so much of the pressure I was feeling. Cynthia is incredibly organized and detail-oriented. She thought of things I never would have, and her preparation gave me the confidence to actually enjoy my wedding day. She executed all the decor exactly how I envisioned it and added thoughtful touches that made everything look even more beautiful than I imagined. When unexpected things came up (as they always do!), Cynthia handled them with grace and quick thinking, adjusting both the timeline and details seamlessly without ever needing to stress me out. She also managed all communication with the other vendors on the big day, which was a huge load off my shoulders. I didn’t have to worry about a single logistical detail because I knew she had it covered. My family couldn’t stop raving about how wonderful and helpful she was throughout the entire day. If you're looking for someone who is calm under pressure, incredibly capable, and truly committed to making your day perfect, Cynthia is your person. I’m so grateful for everything she did for us!

Hi, I'm Jessie — the heart behind Tigerlily Events Co. I hold a business degree from UC Berkeley and bring over a decade of experience, from polished corporate events to joyful kids' cooking parties. I've led events at LinkedIn and Culinary Artistas, and collaborated with some of the nation's top luxury wedding planners. You're equally likely to find me fine-tuning a timeline at 2am or on the dance floor. I bring that balance of precision and play to every event. As a CASA advocate, a portion of every Tigerlily event supports foster youth in SF. This is where it all comes together for me. All are welcome!

From our first conversation, Jessie at Tigerlily Events Co. understood exactly what we wanted for our wedding day. She was incredibly responsive throughout the planning process and really listened to our ideas, which made us feel heard and valued. When it came to our budget, Jessie walked us through what was achievable and helped us make smart decisions without sacrificing our vision. For our florals, she had fantastic insights that helped us nail the exact look we wanted while keeping costs down. Her knowledge of the wedding industry and attention to detail went above and beyond what we expected. We loved working with Jessie so much that we hired her to plan our baby shower a year later. I cannot recommend Tigerlily Events Co. enough!

At ImPerfect Events, we believe the most meaningful celebrations are human and emotion-driven — which means they’re often a little messy, sometimes unpredictable, and never truly “perfect.” Those moments are usually where the joy lives, and what make a day feel unique and real. We were founded on the belief that weddings and events should be about love and community. They should feel warm, welcoming, and joyful — and we believe that same ease can exist in the planning process, too. In an overwhelming world, our goal is to create a planning experience that brings clarity, organization, and calm without losing heart.

We absolutely loved working with Sydney! She was amazing from start to finish, so sweet, incredibly professional, and truly a calming presence. If there were any hiccups, she let us know in such a thoughtful, reassuring way that we never felt stressed for a second. Her overall help, organization, and professionalism made our wedding day run perfectly. We couldn’t imagine having anyone better by our side. Highly recommend!

At Joyous Occasions, we believe your wedding day should be filled with joy, not stress. We take the time to understand your vision and provide personalized support from planning through your celebration. With years of experience and a calm, detail-oriented approach, we manage timelines, vendors, and logistics so everything runs seamlessly. More than just a coordinator, we're your advocate, ensuring you can relax, be present, and enjoy every unforgettable moment with the people you love most.

Hiring Shana was one of the biggest blessings of our entire wedding journey. From our first consultation call, she stood out. She was warm, modern, and in tune with we cared about, yet carried herself with a professionalism and clarity that made us feel confident. She had a clear plan and process, and we knew we'd be in good hands. We brought Shana in after we had already started planning, and she jumped in seamlessly. She helped with vendor procurement, ongoing planning, facilitated the rehearsal, and acted as our full day-of coordinator. Throughout the entire process, I had lots of questions - big, small, aesthetic-related, and everything in between. She handled my constant stream of thoughts and clarifications with grace. What impressed us was her ability to keep us on track while also lightening our emotional load. She stepped in as a mediator with vendors, friends, and family when needed - removing stress and giving us space to breathe. As we got closer to the wedding date, our meetings with her became an essential part of my sanity. I always entered the calls stressed or overwhelmed and left feeling grounded and supported. Shana was amazing at brainstorming solutions, pivoting when something changed, and offering ideas and perspectives we hadn't thought of. She was calm, confident, resourceful, and a reliable sounding board. During the rehearsal and on the wedding day itself, she was dialed in. She picked up on my stress before I even said anything and took on the weight so I didn't have to. One example: she would check in with us from time to time, but if we were chatting with guests or another vendor, she intentionally waited off to the side (but in our peripheral) so we knew she had something important to inform us about but without intruding on our moment. Ironically, I was surprised how little I saw her on our wedding day - it wasn't because she wasn't present, but because she was everywhere, quietly handling every detail behind the scenes. She and her team ensured the day ran without a hitch (or at least kept anything stressful far away). Everything felt seamless from my perspective, and that is entirely thanks to her and her team. If you're considering hiring Shana, do it. She is professional, creative, reassuring, patient, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect. She allowed us to fully enjoy the entire process, and we'll forever be grateful.

From timelines and vendor coordination to thoughtful design and seamless day-of execution, her goal is simple: to create an effortless, meaningful wedding experience that truly feels like you.

Working with Carissa was wonderful! We worked with her as are month-of coordinator and day-of coordinator because our venue required one. She did a wonderful job communicating with our venue (who could be a bit unresponsive at times) and helping keep the rest of our vendors up to date on the latest plans. On the wedding day itself, I couldn't believe how fast the day flew by, and Carissa really helped us to make sure things were moving smoothly (even putting some appetizers aside for us as we missed cocktail hour for pictures), and made adjustments to the timeline on the fly as well as needed. I'd definitely recommend working with Carissa!

We are Anna and Lucky, the passionate founders of The Darling Buds , a women-owned, event planning company that's all about turning your special moments into unforgettable memories! At The Darling Buds, we are committed to delivering a service rooted in trust, care, and attention to detail. We understand how meaningful your special moments are, and we treat each one with the respect and dedication it deserves. Your happiness is at the heart of everything we do. Let’s work together to create lasting memories, thoughtfully crafted and beautifully remembered.

We couldn't have asked for better wedding planners than Anna and Lucky! They are incredibly responsible, detail-oriented, and an absolute joy to work with. From the very beginning, they scheduled an initial meeting to understand our love story, our vision for the wedding, our budget, and to walk us through the services they offer at The Darling Buds. After that meeting, they sent over a detailed breakdown of their packages. After thoughtful consideration, we chose the Month-of Coordination package--and it was one of the best decisions we made! In addition to coordination, they helped us build a beautiful and affordable wedding website that included our love story, the wedding agenda, RSVP page, photo gallery, and a link to our registry. They also went above and beyond by helping us create a wedding invitation tailored for our international guests to assist with their visa applications--such a thoughtful touch. One month before the wedding, we had a comprehensive prep meeting to go through every detail of the big day. Anna and Lucky became our main point of contact for all vendor communication, which saved us so much time and stress. As first-time newlyweds, we felt incredibly supported--they thought of every little detail we might have missed. They were punctual and helpful at our rehearsal, offering invaluable tips for ceremony positioning, like where each person should stand and how to coordinate with photographers and videographers to ensure all the right moments were captured. On the wedding day itself, Anna and Lucky truly worked their magic-arranging outdoor dining tables, communicating seamlessly with vendors, and keeping us updated on the schedule to make sure everything went smoothly. We are beyond satisfied with the planning and execution of our wedding thanks to Anna and Lucky. My husband and I had a truly magical day, and we wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone who is going to plan their wedding!

Meshawn was such a fantastic coordinator and we got so much value for the price with the day-of coordination package. She followed up with me every month leading up to the wedding to make sure the planning and vendor bookings were on track and. She also helped a ton with planning the full schedule for the day and had a good sense of how long each thing would take. And on the day-of she put out sooo many fires- unexpected guests showing up, adding an extra reception table, grabbing the vows that I forgot in the car last minute, coordinating with all the vendors. And every event was exactly on time and perfectly smooth. Even if you're doing a mostly DIY or budget wedding- day-of coordination is sooo worth it and I highly recommend Perfection Unlimited. They're super professional, calm, and kind. So grateful to their team for all their hard work.

We are so happy we chose Jacqueline as our partial wedding planner for our June wedding at Ruth Bancroft Gardens in Walnut Creek. Since she's based in Walnut Creek and has done many weddings there, she knows all the ins and outs of the garden and has great connections with local vendors. Her knowledge, responsiveness, and fantastic suggestions made a huge difference whenever we needed help. We started with a phone call to discuss our wedding vision and get to know each other. About six months before the wedding, we did a walkthrough of the venue together. Jacqueline was always there to promptly answer our questions through email, and she even joined us on our trip to Chairs for Affairs (rentals) to help pick out linens, tables, decorations, bar stands, and more. We saw her again at our rehearsal dinner, where her direction made everything run smoothly. The day before the wedding, she graciously helped print and frame all our signs. On the day of our wedding, everything went off without a hitch, thanks to Jacqueline's help with the schedule. She even made sure we ate! The day was a fun blur, and we were so grateful to have her there. Wedding planning can be stressful, even for those who enjoy it. Jacqueline made the process so much easier and put us at ease. If you're looking for a wedding planner in the Bay Area, we highly recommend Jacqueline. She offers month of coordination, along with partial and full-service wedding planning. She will make sure your day goes smoothly and worry-free.

I joined the military on a whim and landed in Northern California, where I learned to love structure, connection, and celebrating people from every background. In 2022, I became an ordained minister after realizing just how much I’m drawn to real, deep love stories. The more weddings I officiated and planned, the more I found my spark in intimate celebrations. I wanted to create something different, a planning experience where you don’t have to lift a finger or carry the weight of timelines, vendors, or tiny details. At Ember, we handle the logistics so you can stay present, soak it in, and let your day unfold exactly as it should.

Truly could not possibly say enough good things about Ty. She went above and beyond from a month through the day after our wedding. We hired her as our micro wedding day of coordinator in Santa Rosa, and she had so many suggestions we never would’ve thought of and took SO much stress off of me. Because we wanted to get married in my husband’s grandparents’ backyard, have a dinner party-style reception at a restaurant, and then bowling as an after-party, there were quite a lot of moving parts and location changes Ty immediately jumped in to make feel seamless for us and our guests. She found us the best shuttle, figured out so many reception details, and continually updated an extremely detailed timeline down to the minute that I would’ve been lost without. Multiple wedding guests not only raved about her to me and my husband, but also complimented her throughout our wedding. The real icing on the cake? We didn’t hire a videographer and we woke up on our wedding morning to 150 videos she had taken throughout our entire day on a shared album. She is so sweet, so amazingly detailed, and the absolute best combo of personable and a little bossy at the exact perfect moments when I really needed someone to take charge. Thank you, Ty! Our wedding day wouldn’t have been anything close to what it was without you.

As your partner in the planning process, I'll help uncover goals and priorities, providing timelines and to-do lists that work without the overwhelm. I work closely with vendors and communicate the expectations for the wedding day so everyone is on the same page and can execute a seamless experience for couples and their guests.

We had the most wonderful experience working with Samantha Gruwell for our Nov 2021 Deer Park Villa wedding. She did the month of coordination and it was the best decision we could have made. We were feeling overwhelmed with all of the details that still needed ironed out those last few weeks leading up the wedding, and Sam was so helpful in getting everything organized, and really put us at ease. She took control of communication with all our vendors (venue, photographer, caterer, DJ, florist) and ensured our special day had a well planned schedule that ran seamlessly. Sam was so hands-on throughout the entire process. We did multiple zoom calls to go over details and questions, and she did a walk through of the venue with us a few weeks prior. She helped us organize our rehearsal to ensure the ceremony had the right timing and flow. And she helped us perfectly execute it on the day of. She even stuck around through the very end of the evening and helped to dismantle some of the flowers and decor. Sam really put her heart and soul into ensuring our wedding day went flawlessly, and she’s also one of the kindest, most thoughtful people you’ll meet. Our wedding was an absolute dream, and we owe it all to Sam for making our dream a reality! Cannot recommend her enough for your wedding planning needs.
