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

    You won’t find a better planner/coordinator!

    Kaci was an absolute pleasure to work with, a true professional at what she does, and a gem of a human to top it all off! She took all of the pressure off of us as our day-of coordinator, and did so without ever looking stressed herself. She facilitated set up and executed timelines with sniper precision. Though she was our day-of coordinator/planner, she met with us in the days and weeks leading up to our wedding for venue walk throughs, met over video calls, helped me with rentals/quantity suggestions, and made us feel like we had ample, professional planning support throughout so much more of the process than just the “day-of”. Matt and I cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for a wedding planner or day-of coordinator more, nor could we have pulled off such a perfect day without her hard work and professionalism.

    Simply the best!

    Kaci was literally the easiest to work with. She made life for not only the vendors easy but also for the couple. She was always kind and on top of things. The entire day went so smoothly thanks to her! Would 10/10 recommend her.

    Best Wedding Planner

    Working with Kaci Danae Events was a genuine pleasure from start to finish. Her communication kept everyone on the same page—she made sure the timeline ran like clockwork and every vendor understood what was coming next. What really stood out was her composed, organized approach that helped the couple let loose and actually savor their day instead of worrying about logistics. Kaci's attention to detail and collaborative spirit made the whole experience feel effortless, and her professionalism throughout was exactly what we needed. I'd absolutely work with her again and would recommend her to any couple seeking a planner they can genuinely trust.

    Eternally grateful for Kaci!

    Kaci is such an amazing and kind coordinator! She kept our heads on straight whenever we felt like they were going to roll off our shoulders during wedding prep/planning. Kaci's communication style was clear and straightforward, which made planning our wedding feel less stressful and way more organized than we expected. She stayed calm and collected throughout the whole process, and we always felt comfortable with asking questions or updating her on any changes. On our wedding day, everything flowed seamlessly because of her built-out timeline and general attention to detail. Kaci went above and beyond to make sure our special day was exactly what we wanted, and we couldn't have asked for a better partner to make it happen. We highly recommend Kaci to any couple looking for someone who listens and delivers.

    Highly Recommend!

    Kaci was the best coordinator my husband and I could have asked for! She was very organized right from the beginning and available for any questions we had. She was so helpful in accounting for the small details that are easy to forget and managing the communication between vendors. The wedding went so smoothly thanks to her, and many guests commented how great she was! 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.
