Wedding & Events Planner

Hello nearlyweds! I'm Margarita, yes just like the tasty tropical drink. :) I love weddings and I always have. I have cried at all the ones I have attended, and my friends tease me because I will ask anyone who has me over to show me their wedding album! I have spent the past few years working for Wedgewood Weddings and learning everything there is to know about weddings and events. I have helped plan over 200 weddings and personally coordinated more than 120 weddings with guest counts ranging from 20-250+. Prior to that I worked in tech account management, which gave me the experience to provide you with top tier customer service.

I excel in written and verbal communication, and I'm always on top of the details. When I say I will get you something, you can be certain there will be follow through. My pro wedding tip is to have an activity for your guests instead of spending money on favors that get left behind (unless they're edible!). Recent favorite activities have been hiring an artist to do watercolor portraits of guests, a fortune teller that read palms, and a cigar rolling station! I would love to work with you to bring your wedding vision to life and take care of all the details for you, so you can feel like a guest at your own wedding. Let's get started!

In three words: Collaborative, Empathetic, Organized

Working with Margarita was amazing!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Margarita. Hiring her was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she was incredibly patient, kind, and thoughtful, with truly amazing attention to detail. She met with us weekly for a month and a half leading up to our wedding, always bringing a calm, reassuring demeanor that instantly put us at ease. She helped us navigate and overcome every planning roadblock and made sure we were completely set up so we didn’t have to worry about a single thing on our big day. Margarita also led our rehearsal the day prior, ensuring everyone knew exactly what to do and felt confident going into the wedding day. On the day of our wedding, she checked in with us throughout the day to make sure we had everything we needed. Every detail went off without a hitch, and it was in large part thanks to her. She even captured a sweet snapshot of our first kiss as husband and wife at our sweetheart table—a moment we’ll cherish forever. We are so incredibly grateful for Margarita’s dedication, care, and professionalism, and we couldn’t have asked for a better wedding coordinator. Thank you, Margarita, for making our wedding day truly perfect and completely stress-free—we will forever be thankful for everything you did for us.
Go with Margarita! Five isn't enough stars.

We used a Website called Mostest to find a budget friendly day of coordinator. We were initially skeptical of Mostest and how it worked, because we only meet the planner one month before the day of the event. This was only because we used a day of coordinator, rather than a full on event planner. Our wedding was 120 people at Cavallo Point Lodge. Ceremony was outside, cocktail hour was under a nice heated tent, and the dinner & Dancing was inside in a banquet hall. One Month before the wedding, We have our first call with Margarita. She was exceptional in every way. She had a template of the items that she knew we needed to think through. She then seamlessly and meticulously took the agenda from the photographer, venue, florist, caterer, DJ, and any other vendors that I'm for getting and put them into a PERFECT PDF that they each used for the coordination of the day. In total, we met with Margarita a total of three or four times before the wedding. Despite our initial skepticism with Mostest, by the day of our wedding we had absolutely question in our mind about how smoothly the day would go - and this was BECAUSE of margarita. After each meeting, she would give us a "To do" list of things we needed to decide on. At each subsequent meeting, she would circle back and cross every single T and dot every single I. We had a pretty "Involved" Wedding - a Long walk in to the ceremony from the bridal suite, father of the bride doing the ceremony, two readings by family members, A song played & sung by the sister of the bride (with an acoustic electric guitar which required an amp and a microphone setup for singing), a tree planting ceremony, personally written vows, and coordinated music throughout. Margarita had each of these things timed down to the minute (second?). If we allocated too much or too little time for one thing, she would tell us and we'd adjust accordingly. She was early to our wedding rehearsal, ready to roll in the cold Sausalito wind, and was there early on the day of our wedding to make sure that things went smoothly. By the end of the wedding, our mantra was "Just ask Margarita and do whatever she says". Because sincerely as two people who have never been married and frankly had no clue what is involved in orchestrating a wedding - Margarita absolutely cannot be beat. Even after the wedding, she somehow perfectly boxed up all of our stuff so that we could come and grab it the next day. Thank you Margarita for making this day so incredibly special for Taylor and I. We're now looking to host more events JUST so we can work with Margarita again.

Margarita was the best wedding coordinator we could’ve asked for! She was incredibly organized, highly communicative, energetic, and seamless in all of her coordination efforts. She managed all vendor communications and handled any issue that arose with ease. The wedding was perfectly executed all thanks to her, and not a single detail was overlooked! I’d recommend her 100 times over not only for wedding coordination services but also for event planning.

Margarita and her team at Events by Margarita were a warm, motivated, and thorough presence throughout our wedding planning and day. From the start, Margarita's knowledgeable, precise, and efficient work shone through. She knew exactly where to be at any given time, adjusting my necklace before a photo without me even noticing. The timeline she put together was thorough and impressive, and her passion for her work and experience were evident in how seamlessly our wedding day flowed. I hired Margarita as a day-of coordinator, but she did so much more than that - her expertise and support made our special day an absolute success. She was an excellent asset that I would highly recommend to any couple planning their wedding.

I am the lead planner and day-of support for all weddings. If you add an assistant to your package, you can rest assured they are experienced and reliable. I have worked with them on many, many events!

Yes. I also plan corporate events, milestone birthdays, anniversary parties etc.

No. I like to focus on only one event per weekend to focus my attention on your rehearsal and wedding day!

Yes. I carry up to $2M in liability insurance and can provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) if your venue requests it.

Yes! I grew up speaking Spanish with my parents. I love being able to communicate with wedding guests who feel more comfortable communicating in Spanish. Speaking Spanish is also immensely helpful as a wedding planner because many vendors, catering staff, delivery persons etc in the Bay Area are Spanish-speaking and being able to communicate with them effectively is essential to a smooth event.

It depends on the wedding! Adding an assistant coordinator to your package is required for events with 2 venues, over 200 guest count, or extensive DIY decor. The price to add an assistant is $500.
