Meet your Planner -- Hi, I'm Sid, your future go-to girl for all things events! What I love most about this work are the small, human moments that make life sweet — the laughter shared over a glass of wine, the quiet tears during a first look, a parent’s proud smile, or the messy happiness of a child sneaking a lick of frosting. Those tiny moments are why I do what I do. At Squid Inc. Social, I bring heart, artistry, and a steady hand to every celebration. My goal is to help you see and feel the love that’s already there — in every detail, every hug, every shared laugh, without the stress. Let's find a reason to celebrate together!

If you want your dream wedding, hire Squid Inc !
Working with Sidney of Squid Inc Social was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding! We opted for the full planning package and spent the entire year before our big day working with Sidney to put together our dream wedding. From as early as your introductory call Sidney goes above and beyond to make you feel at ease and lay out a plan that makes sense for your wedding. She recommends excellent vendors to work with that she has vetted, while also giving you space to find vendors on your own or try something new. Through monthly check in calls she slowly chipped away at planning tasks so that by the time we got to our wedding day we were able to enjoy the moment without worrying about a single thing. Working with Sidney made the wedding planning process seamless and fun, giving us the time and space to truly enjoy our engagement without feeling stressed since we knew we were in good hands. She handles challenges expertly and always finds solutions to any problems that may arise. Aside from all the logistical aspects of planning a wedding, Sidney is also just an amazing and down to earth person to talk to and it was such a joy to spend time with her during cake tastings and mock up days. She is amazingly creative and has this wonderful ability to give great suggestions and put together stunning design decks while also listening to feedback and incorporating what you like. I could not recommend Sidney and her services enough and will definitely hire Squid Inc in the future for any events. If you want to have your dream wedding while being stress free and working with an amazing planner then you found the right place at Squid Inc Social.

Every Bride/couple needs a Sidney!
I had the pleasure of working with Sidney on a recent wedding, and she was absolutely wonderful. We only briefly got a chance to say hello on the actual wedding day, but her warmth and professionalism came through loud and clear both on the back end and on the day of. Sidney's kindness, patience, and collaboration made my job as a makeup artist so much easier. What really stuck out to me was how relaxed our bride was on the wedding morning, and I don't think that was just because of her personality. I think it's because Sidney did an amazing job and our bride knew everything was taken care of. She could not stop raving about Sidney and her team, telling me how amazing and nice she had been throughout the entire planning process. She was even asking all her family members if they had gotten a chance to meet her planner. That level of trust and ease doesn't happen without a truly great planner. I would love to work with Sidney again anytime and will be recommending her to any of my brides who are looking for one. Highly recommend her to any couple! 3

SF's Coolest Wedding Coordinator/Planner
Sid and her team were such a pleasure to work with! We appreciated the quick, behind-the-scenes problem-solving when we forgot something, and the fact that she made everything FUN. Sid has impeccable taste and truly thought of everything. We appreciate that she understood the vision and our vibe without much explaining. She's so rad! We were grateful not only for her professional nature but also for her constant, easygoing, never-stressed, friendly demeanor. It made the day stress-free for us! We can't wait to work with Sid again in the future!

Hire Sid for a fun, meaningful wedding!
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sid both as a bridesmaid for a wedding and as her assistant at a wedding. In both settings, I have seen how she brings expertise, care, and fun to everything she does for her brides and for her guests. She’s a former nurse, so she brings that level of care, attention, and “do whatever needs to be done” attitude to your wedding. She has an outstanding artistic vision, creates beautiful wedding suites, and thinks deeply about the guest experience at every turn. She always has a smile on, but she still takes everything so seriously and ensures that whatever you want your wedding day to look and feel like, it will. In short, I can’t recommend Sid enough for anyone looking to have an outstanding experience as a bride or groom on their wedding day.
