About Kaci Danae Events

Kaci Danae Events

Owner & Lead Planner

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.

What began as day-of coordination has evolved into a comprehensive range of event planning services. Whether you’re looking for full-service or partial wedding planning, corporate event management, or expert day-of coordination, I am here to ensure every detail is perfectly executed. ​ At Kaci Danae Events, I don’t just plan events — I craft unforgettable, personalized experiences that bring your vision to life. Let’s work together to turn your dream into an event that will be remembered for years to come.

In three words: Calm, Flexible, Organized

    Smooth operator

    I'm not a traditional wedding videographer (I do more documentary work) but the couple wanted a different kind of wedding video so this was only my second wedding ever & I'll admit I was a tad nervous. Didn't need to be. Kaci was simply awesome, everything was super organised. She scouted the venue with video, maps & more spreadsheets about the day then I thought possible. She kept an eye on where I was & made sure I knew where the next anchor point was & despite weather (crazy wind) and delays that were out of her control - the day ran like clockwork. She never made herself center stage, nothing seemed to fluster her & I felt she could be relied upon instantly. The video turned into a short film I got such great footage, happy couple and the best wedding I've ever seen. I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend her and would love working with her again. Maximum score. Amazing co-ordinator. Matt G.

    Kaci is an amazing coordinator!

    Working with Kaci Danae Events has been a game-changer for us as a wedding vendor. Her communication is consistently clear and prompt, and she provides the kind of detailed information that actually helps you do your job well. At a recent wedding we both worked, Kaci went above and beyond—she created a detailed timeline that was genuinely workable and handled an enormous number of group formals with impressive precision. What really stood out was how organized she kept everything; my shotlist for photography was crystal clear and straightforward, which made the day flow seamlessly. Her attention to detail and presence on site made such a tangible difference that I honestly shudder thinking about how the day might have gone without her there to orchestrate it all. If you're looking for a planner who treats your wedding like the well-oiled machine it should be, Kaci is your person.

    Loved working with Kaci!

    Working with Kaci was awesome! She was super communicative and helpful through the whole process. She really went above and beyond what I expected for a day-of coordinator, and because we had her onboard we went into the few weeks leading up to the wedding far more relaxed than we would have been without her. She made our timelines make sense, she helped coordinate with other vendors, she was there to answer questions last minute when we had them. It was really a great pleasure to work with her, and I'm so certain that our day would have been less enjoyable without her there to help keep this moving smoothly. Highly recommend!

Absolutely! I'm a full service event planner for social events (birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, etc.), as well as corporate event management for conferences, galas, and many more.
I am a one-woman show, however I do have a set of co-planners that I bring on to support certain event days after I evaluate the level of decor setup, allowable setup time, event logistics, etc.
This answer really depends on where you are in the planning process and how much support you want along the way. If you want someone to take the lead and guide you through the entire process, Full-Service Planning is likely the best fit. If you've already made some decisions but want professional guidance and support with the remaining pieces, Partial Planning may be the sweet spot. And if you've handled the planning yourself but don't want to be responsible for managing everything on your wedding weekend, Day/Month-of Coordination is a great fit.
Absolutely! I love connecting couples with talented vendors who are not only a great fit for their vision, but also reliable, professional, and enjoyable to work with. Depending on your planning package, I can help you build your vendor team, provide recommendations based on your priorities and budget, and help you navigate the process of selecting the right professionals for your day.
Yes! I’m based in the Bay Area and am happy to travel for weddings. Travel availability and fees depend on the location, so I'll always outline those details clearly in your proposal.
I believe wedding planning should feel just as meaningful as the celebration itself. At Kaci Danae Events, my approach is rooted in hospitality, thoughtful details, and creating an experience where you and your guests feel genuinely cared for. I’m here to bring organization and structure to the planning process without taking away the fun or personality that makes your wedding yours. Whether I'm helping you navigate the planning process, coordinating countless moving pieces, or solving a problem behind the scenes, my goal is always the same: to make you feel supported, confident, and completely present for the moments that matter most.
