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

Serenity is THE BEST!
Serenity & her team are INCREDIBLE! From the start, she shared so much excitement for our wedding day and was available to answer any questions that we had, even when it was months prior to our wedding day. Her communication is amazing — we could always rely on her to get back to us quickly and help with anything that came up. Meeting her in person, she is just as warm as she is over email/video call. During our wedding rehearsal, she went over every single little detail on what to expect and to make sure everyone was on the same page — it was amazing and she made everyone feel so prepared. On our wedding day, we truly felt so at ease because we knew we had Serenity supporting us. Everything was exactly how we envisioned it, it was the wedding of our dreams! Our wedding party and families have also told us that they thought she was incredible and did such an amazing job at making sure everything flowed smoothly on the day of. We could not recommend Serenity enough!!!

Made my dream wedding a reality!!
I can’t say thank you enough to Serenity and Kelli for helping create the wedding day of our dreams. Calling it the “perfect day” almost feels like an understatement! From the very beginning, they were incredibly attentive to every detail my husband and I envisioned for our wedding. They patiently guided us through every step of the planning process, answered my endless list of questions, and connected us with amazing vendors who were not only talented but also wonderful people to work with. Their communication was exceptional throughout the entire process, which made planning so much less stressful and allowed us to truly enjoy the experience. They consistently went above and beyond, making sure every detail was thoughtfully handled and every moment came together seamlessly. We feel so fortunate to have had Serenity and Kelli by our side while planning one of the most important days of our lives. Their dedication, professionalism, and genuine care made all the difference. If you’re considering hiring them, do it—you won’t regret it!

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!
