Hi, I'm Mackenzie, owner and lead planner of Vow & Co. Weddings! I believe your wedding day should be spent making memories—not managing timelines. My passion is creating beautifully organized, stress-free celebrations that reflect each couple's unique love story. Whether you need full-service planning, partial planning, or wedding management, I'm here to guide you every step of the way with personalized support, thoughtful organization, and seamless execution. I can't wait to help bring your vision to life!

“From our first conversation with Vow & Co. Weddings, we knew we had found the right planner for our day. The team communicated quickly and kept everything organized from start to finish, which made the entire process stress-free. Our winery venue had tight setup windows, but she didn't just focus on her own team—she coordinated with all our vendors to make sure everyone stayed on schedule and nothing fell behind. With 250 guests, there were a lot of moving parts, yet every detail came together flawlessly on the day. Her hard work and eye for detail showed in every moment, and our wedding felt effortless because of her behind-the-scenes hustle. We can't recommend Vow & Co. Weddings enough.”

“Kari did an amazing job of planning and coordinating our wedding. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, kind and always available to answer our questions and make suggestions about vendors and other details. We were planning from out of town, so having Kari was essential in our planning and I am certain it would have been a mess without her! She is well known and well respected within the wedding planning community in Paso and it was obvious that all of our vendors loved working with her. On our rainy wedding day, she and her team seamlessly moved our ceremony inside at the last minute and transformed the space into something truly gorgeous and magical with the beautiful winery vibes that we wanted while keeping everyone dry. They were then able to transform that same space for dinner. We didn't think it was possible for us and our families to have a relaxing day pre-wedding, especially with rain, but we truly did. Kari and her team took care of everything and kept everything on schedule with every detail attended to, and we didn't have to worry about anything. She also did our flowers which were gorgeous, reasonably priced and exactly what we had hoped for. Throughout the entire planning process and on our wedding day, Kari and her team brought great style and energy that helped make our special day truly unforgettable and better than we could have ever imagined. We are so grateful for their hard work, attention to detail and would not hesitate to put your full trust in her and her team to create the wedding of your dreams! It was quite honestly the BEST money we spent on our wedding.”

“Candice and her team were a pleasure to work with. She was professional, kind, and above all very adaptive. We had to pivot/switch up a few details due to weather on our wedding day and I was SO relieved by Candice’s ability to make quick, smart decisions without ever making me feel overwhelmed or stressed on the day of. This was essential as not everything can go as planned on your wedding day but I never knew about any of it and she worked fervently behind the scenes to keep it that way.

She was able to bring my ideas to life and the planning tools she utilizes ensure everyone is on the same page without things getting lost in countless email threads.

As a food stylist, event planner, and business owner with over 25 years in hospitality and events, I believe the smallest details hold the most meaning. I’m drawn to beauty in how a space feels, how colors and textures come together, and how every element flows effortlessly. When couples trust me with their celebration, I listen deeply and design with intention, care, and heart — so they can feel calm, present, and completely immersed in their day. Proud ally and safe space for the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC community. Best wishes and warmest regards, LouLou

“Lou is incredible and I absolutely LOVED working with her. Having her coordinate my wedding was - hands down - the best decision I made about the whole process. Working in the event industry myself, I just couldn't wrap my head around my own wedding... thank goodness Lou was ready for everything! She set us up with great timelines, connected us with some awesome and affordable local vendors, and really came through making magic happen *both* behind-the-scenes and literally setting the scene. Vibes? Check! Hustle? Check! She flawlessly made my vision come to life. It was honestly such a relief working with her. I can get really anxious and overwhelmed, and she walked and talked me through every step at a pace that felt consistent and manageable... and when I slacked, she kicked my butt back into gear, which I needed 100% lol. She has such a respectable history coordinating events, she preempted things I never even considered. I highly recommend working with her!”

Weddings have been a part of my life since I was six years old. Growing up as the youngest of eight cousins, someone was always getting married. The summer of my 21st birthday, I started my career with weddings at an Alaskan lodge hosting ten weddings that first summer. Since then I've worked in floral design, photography, & the food/wine industries. In 2017, I toured California working event logistics at five different festivals, including Coachella.

Since 2008, I have been dedicated to making dream weddings come to life. My passion for being a wedding planner stems from the joy and fulfillment that comes with creating unforgettable moments for couples on one of the most significant days of their lives. Being born and raised on the Central Coast is a true blessing. I've grown to appreciate this unique and quirky place I call home as the years have passed. When I'm not flexing my planning muscles you can probably find me still in the mix at a local event, concert or winery. I'm a dog mom, a tiny human mom, and a lover of all things Italian.

“We booked Monica for month-of coordination, and she immediately acted like a true partner. She offered clear advice, scheduled check-ins, and tracked our progress so there were no surprises. When the weekend arrived, she took over smoothly and made everything easy. She managed setup, coordinated every vendor, kept the timeline tight, solved problems quietly, and oversaw teardown. On Sunday morning our items were already condensed, labeled, and staged by the exit, so pickup took minutes. Beyond all the compliments on the wedding, we heard constant praise for Monica herself. She is organized, calm, and relentlessly helpful. We could not recommend her more.”

Our hard work, loyalty, and professionalism shine through in every project we undertake. We believe in transparency and always strive for the perfect end result.

“When I finally reached out to Otilia at Sparkling Stars Events, I had been planning my wedding alone for about 7-8 months without a coordinator. Hiring this company was the best decision I ever made. I highly recommend not only hiring a coordinator but hiring Sparkling Stars specifically. Being the only person in my family to get married in over 15 years, it was daunting to plan. Although I planned some of my wedding, Otilia kept me on track with the finer details leading up to the day, comforted me when I was stressed and helped make our wedding the most magical day. Our venue, while beautiful, ended up being a lot more disorganized and chaotic than we were led to believe. Due to this, the night before the wedding and morning of we had to release full control and trust to Otilia because at that point there was nothing more that we could do to change what the venue had done. Our day surpassed our expectations. It was the most beautiful and Sparkling Stars really took control and calmed our worries. I never felt so seen in my vision and letting go of my stress felt so easy with Otilia. We had so many small details and DIYS that were exactly where we envisioned. Everything was so well executed. Aside from that, they felt like family. They were so sweet and kind throughout the wedding day we did not feel like we were putting on a production or being pulled left to right. They were also welcoming, sweet and polite to all guests and family. My biggest regret during this entire bridal era was not hiring Otilia from the very start of my planning. We love you guys and are definitely hiring for our vow renewal!! 3”

Alexandra Khoury Modon’s path to founding à la Modon Events is anything but conventional—woven through years of discipline, artistic expression, and an insatiable drive to bring visions to life.

Today, she channels that same precision and creativity into designing seamless, deeply personal events that reflect each client’s unique story.

Awarded Best of Zola
“There are very few people you meet during wedding planning who you know you’ll genuinely miss when it’s over. Alexandra is one of them. We had a pretty unconventional starting point. My husband Joel and I had already been together for 17 years and had a teenager before we decided to get married, so this was never going to be a traditional wedding. We got married on a Tuesday in Santa Barbara, with guests traveling from as far away as Europe and as close as Los Angeles, and everywhere in between. Most came from New York City, where we live. We wanted the wedding to feel intimate, chic, warm, personal, and completely un-fussy, and Alexandra understood that from the beginning. Planning from NYC while getting married across the country was no small undertaking. We even had to change both our restaurant and after-party venue at the last minute (!!!). Somehow, Alexandra handled every curveball with complete calm. She always seemed to have a solution before we even had time to worry about the problem. From our very first conversations, Alexandra just got us. Her background as a DA shows in her curiosity and incredible attention to detail. We had a lot of ideas, opinions, and probably a fair amount of chaos. She never made us feel like we were asking for too much or doing things the “wrong” way. She listened and turned all of our random thoughts and little details into a wedding that felt completely and unmistakably like us. She has incredible taste and an amazing eye, but what I loved most was that she never made the wedding about her vision. She made it about ours. She understood that we wanted intimate over grand, chic over fussy, and beautiful without feeling overly formal or staged. Every detail felt intentional, but nothing felt forced. She was also an absolute rock throughout the planning process: organized, responsive, thoughtful, patient, creative, and calm. She anticipated things we hadn't even thought about and made decisions feel easy when they could have been overwhelming. She understood not just what we wanted the wedding to look like, but what we wanted it to FEEL like. On our wedding day, she was simply incredible. She officiated our ceremony (!!) and completely nailed it with personal details, warmth, and grace. For the entire day and into the night, we got to be completely present with the people we love because Alexandra and her team member, Paulina (also a superstar!), were taking care of everything around us. They quietly managed an enormous number of moving pieces and somehow made the day feel effortless. We got to laugh, dance, eat, hug our friends and family, and actually experience our wedding instead of worrying about it. But honestly, what I will remember most is how much she cared. She cared about the little things that mattered to us, our family, our guests, and making the day feel like OUR wedding rather than just a beautiful event. Our wedding was everything we hoped it would be and more. Our guests are still talking about it, and so much of what made it special was Alexandra. I feel incredibly lucky that we found her, and even luckier that we got to know her along the way. If you are considering working with A La Modon Events, do not even think twice. You will get an incredibly talented planner with impeccable taste, but you will also get someone who genuinely cares about you and your event. And that makes ALL the difference!”

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!

“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!!”

“If I had one piece of advice for every bride getting married at the Madonna Inn, it would be to hire Krissy. Her and her team were able to expertly execute my day and we’re outstanding partners throughout the entire planning process. They helped me get tire grease out of my dress, they made sure that my fiancé showed up to the ceremony on time, and they expertly handled multiple family members in our processional. They are able to make outstanding recommendations for any and all vendors that you’re looking for, and they even do their own floral arranging if that’s something you’re interested in. We are incredibly grateful to Krissy and the team for all of their hard work and we are so glad for any couple who gets to work with them in the future.”

“Working with AnnaMarie at AR Weddings N Events was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Over the course of a year, she met with us regularly, helped us find the right vendors, reviewed their contracts, and walked us through our venue before the big day. AnnaMarie has solid knowledge of the industry and really knows how to connect couples with people who will deliver. On our wedding day, she was exactly what she promised—calm and in control, which let us relax and actually enjoy every moment. She handled all the details behind the scenes so we didn't have to think about a single thing. If you're planning a wedding in the Bay or Coachella Valley, book AnnaMarie without hesitation.”

Hi, I’m Jordyn Elyse, founder of Elyse & Co. Events. If you choose me as your planner, I dedicate everything to making sure you have the wedding of your dreams. I started young as my family’s go-to planner, handling every detail because they knew I could get it done. That’s when I realized I have a real passion for creating beautiful, stress-free celebrations that bring joy to couples and their loved ones. Helping others celebrate life’s most special moments is truly what drives me every day.

“Jordyn was amazing to work with! Response times were always quick and she was so helpful not only in the actual timelines and planning but also with some of the design ideas and areas where I may have lacked by myself. She had great insight plus additional knowledge from being a bridal stylist that make her A1 in my opinion. Originally started with the day of coordination, switching to partial planning was easy and the handoffs to vendors were seamless. She took all of the stress out of the day!”

Zuzu Collective is a bespoke wedding planning studio specializing in immersive, story-driven weddings in San Diego and throughout California and worldwide. We start with your story — your taste, your vision, what you want people to feel — and build a world from there.

“We’ve been raving about how our day felt like us. Zoe was such a big part of this. Throughout the event, Zoe was a constant calm and organized force. She nailed the tablescape and venue decor, going above and beyond with her attention to detail and creativity. I felt that she took the time to know exactly what we wanted. There were multiple moments where I felt she went above and beyond. I knew I could turn to her if I needed anything knowing that the event was in good hands as the evening progressed. Since we hired multiple vendors independently, the group needed organization and direction - Zoe was the guiding leader for our night. We had some unexpected challenges, she managed it all so well and prevented us from having any stress with a completely level headed and professional demeanor. I found that her communication style before, during, and after the event was thorough, caring, and honest. During our planning call, she showed in multiple ways that she cared about what we wanted out of the day and intended to really help us achieve the correct vibe. She was truly a pleasure to work with and recommendations were wonderful. Our friends are raving about the event and so are we. I do really accredit this to Zoe and the energy she brought to coordinating our event. I HIGHLY recommend Zuzu Collective. Thank you for everything, Zoe!”
