About Sun & Daughter Events

Serenity Banks

Event Planner

Hi! I’m Serenity — SoCal-based wedding planner, Day of Coordination pro, and unapologetic lover of crisp Diet Coke. I started out slinging appetizers as a banquet server and worked my way up through the wedding world, from intern to venue coordinator to full-blown planner. Now, I lead a team of professional knot tiers who live for the little details and smooth timelines. You bring the romance — we’ll bring the timelines, the tissues, and maybe a spare safety pin or two.

What sets us apart? Besides my obsession with timelines and a sixth sense for spotting a missing boutonniere, it's the fact that I’ve done it all. I started at the bottom (passing apps & clearing plates) and worked my way through just about every wedding role before becoming a planner. So when I say I’ve seen it all, I mean it - and I know exactly how to keep your day smooth, stress-free, and full of joy. As a Day of Coordination specialist, I’m all about handling the chaos before it becomes chaos. I’ll be your go-to gal for last-minute fixes, timeline magic, and keeping the good vibes flowing — all with a Diet Coke in hand, of course.

In three words: Confident, Flexible, Organized

The Best Coordinator!
Serenity was truly THE BEST! From the very beginning, her communication was incredibly prompt and helpful. Even though she was our day-of coordinator, that didn’t stop her from answering questions and offering guidance months leading up to the wedding. On the big day, she went above and beyond anything we could have expected. Everything ran so smoothly, and we were able to fully enjoy our wedding without stress because we knew we were in such capable hands. We also heard from so many of our guests about how wonderful she was—everyone had such positive interactions with her. I’m so grateful we had the chance to work with Serenity. She played such a huge role in making our day perfect, and I truly couldn’t recommend her more!

THE REAL DEAL
Working with Sun & Daughter Events was truly game changing for our wedding. Their communication was prompt, clear, and incredibly helpful in solving any problems that arose in the months leading up to the wedding. Serenity moved mountains for us on the day of the wedding, seamlessly remedying major issues with our venue and a rental company that was running hours behind. She handled these problems without breaking a sweat or putting any stress on us. The reception hall looked incredible thanks to her work. Everyone kept telling us how incredible our wedding coordinator was after the event - she was truly the MVP. We cannot thank Sun and Daughter Events enough for managing all of the chaos leading up to our wedding and making it beyond beautiful and unforgettable. They truly went above and beyond to make this happen for us, and we are so grateful for them! You won't regret working with this irreproachable team - they are simply the best!

I wish there was enough words to say how truly grateful we were to book Serenity as our wedding coordinator, but there isn’t. To say she went above and beyond our expectations is an understatement!! Not only did she make the entire wedding go completely smooth, she also made sure us as a couple had everything we need at any moment and handled any problems without us even knowing. Any time she walked into the room I felt myself relax knowing she was there to make everything go smooth and let me just be present in the moment. Booking Serenity isn’t just booking an amazing coordinator, but you feel as though you are working with a friend. Her calm, fun, and professional personality is everything you’d want in a wedding coordinator!

Best Coordinator Ever!
If you're reading reviews questioning on if you should hire Serenity, let this be your sign as a YES DO IT HIRE HER SHE IS AMAZING! There are so many words I could use to describe Serenity and her teams services they provide but I wouldn't have enough room, she is the kindest, sweetest, most detail oriented person we have met. We hired Serenity earlier this year to be the day of coordinator for our wedding and not only was her price fantastic but what she offers with her packages is even better. She was with us from the moment we put down the deposit. She answered every email we sent her within a day and was always so bright and full of light. She took over all communications with all vendors 2 weeks prior to our wedding to relieve some stress and it definitely did, on day of she stayed in communication with both of us and even when the bride was running a tad bit late she did everything in her power and got us back on schedule! She made the day so magical and got every request done and even more. She kept all the vendors in order and even our other vendors were calling us the following day say how great it was to work with her and she made it so easy for them too. We plan on using her again for any other event we need her for and will be recommending her to anyone and everyone. Thank you for everything you're amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better coordinator.
