Events by Margarita

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

    We found Margarita through Mostest. Our wedding was in San Francisco and not local to us (we are from Southern California), but we knew we needed a month-of coordinator to help us with the wedding logistics, even though we did the bulk of the planning. I was stressing out for months, making sure everything was booked and in order, until Margarita started working with us. We started a couple of weeks earlier than the typical four weeks included with the month-of coordination, but from the moment we met virtually, she put everything at ease. Her calmness rubbed off on me, and she was great in communicating not only with us but with our vendors as well. My photographer, HMUA, DJ, photo booth, and reception venue all told my husband and me how great she was, even before the wedding happened! I've never met anyone as organized as her! She curated the timeline and brought to our attention things we missed/didn't think of in our planning before she came along. On the wedding day, 99% of the day went as planned. That 1% was so minor and out of anyone's control, so we didn't sweat it. I was able to enjoy and be present on my wedding day with my husband and our guests, which is a huge accomplishment since I'm a control freak. I fully trusted Margarita, and she exceeded our expectations. I honestly believe I'm lucky in finding her, because I don't know many brides or grooms who actually had fun on their wedding day. My wedding day is actually the best day of my life because it went so smoothly and we had so much fun. Our guests even said so themselves. She even printed a photo of us at our ceremony, printed it in time for dinner, and placed it on our sweetheart table. I cannot sing her praises enough. She's the absolute greatest!! Special shout-out to our half-day coordinator, Celly, who has worked with Margarita for years. Celly helped with decorating the restaurant for our reception and made our vision come to life. They are the greatest duo!

    Events by Margarita was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was professional, diplomatic, and poised, with a genuine empathetic approach that put everyone at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - they were thorough, creative, meticulous, and proactive, ensuring that every detail was attended to seamlessly. They were always on top of every aspect, communicating effectively with the other vendors and respecting everyone's role in making the couple's special day a success. Margarita has a highly developed sense of beauty and balance, which shone through in the elegant and cohesive execution of the wedding vision. We cannot recommend Events by Margarita highly enough.

    Margarita was a pleasure to work with for a 50th birthday party she helped me coordinate! She was proactive, kind, and thoughtful throughout the planning process. She was also incredibly organized, and prompt, making my life so much easier on the day of the event. She stayed on top of the event timeline and thought of questions I hadn't considered yet that made a real difference to the special day. When we had a lot of vendors arriving at the same time, it was so helpful for her to be there to direct where everyone should go and where they could place their personal items. She gives extra attention to detail that I so appreciated! If you're looking for someone who will ensure a seamless, stress-free event - hire Margarita!

    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.
