With over 10 years of experience in the event planning industry, I specialize in transforming visions into seamless, memorable experiences. As a dedicated perfectionist who thrives under pressure, my focus is always on the small details that make an event extraordinary. I began planning everything from intimate birthdays and gender reveals to elaborate engagement parties and baby showers. Since officially stepping into the wedding business in 2021, I have navigated and managed every challenge the industry presents, ensuring a stress-free process for my clients.

Casey’s Curated Events made planning our destination wedding an absolute breeze. Casey was there every step of the way with incredible energy, organization, communication and above all dedication. From the beginning, Casey took the time to truly understand my vision and explained the planning process in a clear, easy to understand way which was especially helpful while planning a destination wedding on a short five month timeline. I felt supported and informed throughout the entire process. I gave Casey full creative freedom with our invitations, and she completely delivered! Her creativity and attention to detail set the tone for our wedding from the start. She was also incredibly responsive, making herself available via email, text, and phone, and handled communication between the travel agency, resort coordinator, and vendors seamlessly. As the wedding approached and decisions felt overwhelming, Casey always reassured me and helped narrow down options, making everything feel manageable. From creating a comprehensive packing list (down to things like bobby pins!) to personally making sure we didn’t have to worry about the little details, Casey thought of everything. When we arrived at the resort, she took the time to walk the property with us — showing us the ceremony and reception spaces, photo locations, rehearsal and helping us visualize the full experience. She also joined us in meeting the on-site coordinator and ensured everyone was aligned. Her ability to advocate for us, ask the right questions, and clarify details made such a difference, especially since most communication with the resort had taken place via email. On our wedding day, Casey was truly amazing. She coordinated everything behind the scenes, kept everyone on schedule, and solved problems before we even knew they existed. Her calm presence, care, and positive energy allowed me to fully enjoy every moment of our wedding. Thank you, Casey, for going above and beyond. Having you as our wedding planner was truly a blessing.

Hi, I’m Athena! As a wedding planner and event coordinator based in Northern CA, I specialize in creating seamless and memorable celebrations. With years of experience in the industry and a background in design consulting, I focus on bringing my clients’ unique visions to life while ensuring a stress-free planning experience.

From the very first interaction, she was friendly, welcoming, and made us feel at ease throughout the entire planning process. She ensured that every detail of our special day was executed to perfection. Athena herself went above and beyond, dressing up to match our Gatsby wedding theme, bringing me snacks and drinks when she knew everyone else was busy, picking me up and dropping me off as needed throughout the venue, she definitely ensured I was taken care of. She seemed to be everywhere at once, guiding us and our guests through the day seamlessly.

Hi, I’m Morgan! Thank you so much for being here. I am the Owner and Lead Planner of MBK Events. Let’s get straight to it - I freaking love love and I love planning. I swear, celebrating love, planning events, and getting to meet new people is my specialty. While planning my own wedding, I realized that so many Brides are not enjoying the process - so, that's where I plan to step in! I officially launched my business in October of 2021 so I can help other brides execute, plan, style and enjoy the wedding planning process. It is the most magical time of your life so lets make sure it feels magical all the way to the big day!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you've started "shopping" for wedding vendors then you know it's something like a whirlwind of first dates and social media stalking. Our impressions of Morgan were positive from the start, with her standout Instagram page featuring an abundance of beautifully styled events, and a woman with a glowing smile going above and beyond for her clients. During our first meeting with Morgan, her bubbly energy and confidence left us with a gut feeling that she was the right person to guide us on this planning journey. She did not disappoint!!! Our monthly check-ins leading up to the big day were always intentional conversations, guided by encouragement, honesty and undeniable experience. That saying "you don't know what you don't know" seriously rang true. Even being a type A bride, doing research beforehand, creating my own spreadhseets, etc. I found myself appreciating, again and again, the ways that Morgan filled in the gaps. She anticipated all the things--the things we hadn't thought of--and had a solid recommendation and plan of action every step of the way. She was intentional, organized, communicative and a superstar liason in our meetings with other potential vendors too. She's the friend we didn't know we needed in the room helping us make the big decisions. The more we worked with Morgan the more grateful we were to have her on the team! Our wedding day was blissful and we have Morgan to thank for that. To put into words all of the ways she showed up for us, protected our peace and added joy to our day, would make for a super lengthy word count here. What we hope to express is that her thoughtful attention to details, take-care-of-business mindset and passion for what she does all came together to turn our dreams into reality. If you're looking for someone who will have your back 1,000%, give you their all with a baby in one hand (literally so happily giving one of our guests a break during the reception) and your lipgloss touch up in the other, and who will exceed all of your expectations, Morgan is your girl.

Dana, Tara, and the entire Thyme and Details team are nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, their exceptional management skills, attentive listening, and dedication turned what we thought was impossible into a seamless, unforgettable reality for our September wedding. Their full-service planning is worth every penny—and more. The team handled every detail with precision and care, gracefully adapting to the inevitable twists and turns that come with planning such a major event. They didn’t just meet our expectations; they exceeded them with thoughtful touches and moments of surprise and delight throughout the year-long process. One of the standout aspects was their vendor recommendations. They guided us toward partners who perfectly matched the theme and energy we envisioned for our day, elevating the entire experience. When a major hurdle arose with the delivery timing of some rentals, Dana went above and beyond, advocating fiercely to ensure everything worked out perfectly. Her determination and professionalism made all the difference in what could have been a stressful situation. Thanks to their experience, tools, patience, and boundless endurance, planning became not only manageable but enjoyable.

I’m Ashley, the owner of Rose Event Co. I love being able to share in the love of two individuals and feel lucky to get to work with such wonderful people each day! I’ve been planning weddings and events for over eight years now, and I couldn’t be more thankful with where I am now in my business. I primarily serve the OR | WA | CA markets, but will travel anywhere!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is equal parts calm, brilliant, kind, organized, and downright magical — look no further than Ashley. From the moment we started planning, Ashley saved us both time and money in ways we didn’t even know were possible. She sourced incredible vendors within our budget, presented thoughtful options that actually aligned with our vision, and somehow managed to keep track of every tiny detail along the way. Her resourcefulness alone paid for itself ten times over. Ashley also had the unique ability to navigate and balance our very different planning styles — my Type A tendencies and my husband’s more last-minute approach — with so much grace, humor, and patience. We often joked that we wished we could keep her in our lives forever to make all our daily decisions, because she made everything feel lighter and easier. There were a couple moments when certain vendors didn’t follow through according to their contracts, and Ashley stepped in immediately, handled everything professionally, and made sure nothing fell through the cracks. She was our advocate in every sense. Her attention to detail was unparalleled. She monitored the weather for weeks leading up to the big day, and she was absolutely right — though it was gorgeous, the wind changed several elements of our ceremony and décor. Because she anticipated it, planned for it, and had contingencies ready, everything went more smoothly than it ever could have without her preparation. She also helped coordinate the other events throughout our wedding weekend, making each one feel special and seamless. Even the bathroom baskets she curated for guests were thoughtful and beautifully done. Every single guest has told us how wonderful the wedding and the entire experience felt — and we couldn’t agree more. Weddings will always have at least some chaos, but with Ashley by our side we were protected from most of it, and we remained calm even in the moments that could have easily unraveled. She was truly one of the main reasons everyone had such an incredible time. We are endlessly grateful for her, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Hiring Ashley was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

I had the pleasure of working with Kalyna as our Day-of Coordinator for our wedding on October 21st, 2023, at Arden Hills Country Club, and I can’t recommend her enough! While the venue had its own coordinator, Kalyna was absolutely essential in making our day run smoothly. One of the biggest challenges we faced was having a large wedding party, and Kalyna took charge of wrangling everyone, making sure that all our bridal party members and vendors were exactly where they needed to be. She was super organized and kept everything on track, even when things got a little hectic. Kalyna’s ability to troubleshoot any logistical issues that popped up was amazing. Whether it was managing timing or helping with last-minute adjustments, she handled everything seamlessly. She was calm under pressure, and we felt so relieved knowing that she was behind the scenes making sure all the moving pieces came together. In addition to managing the big day itself, Kalyna also helped us with finding vendors leading up to the wedding. She connected us with an incredible hair artist who did an amazing job on the bridal party, which was one less thing we had to worry about. Her resourcefulness and network made the planning process so much easier! Her attention to detail and proactive approach made such a difference. From coordinating with the vendors to ensuring our crew was in the right place at the right time, Kalyna made the day stress-free for us, allowing us to focus on enjoying the celebration. If you’re looking for someone who can handle the logistics of your big day with grace, organization, and a calm demeanor, I highly recommend Kalyna! She truly helped make our wedding day perfect.

We LOVED working with Brittany. We had monthly meetings with her for over a year, from the venue search phase to the handoff to our month-of coordinator, and she was so helpful. She helped us with the searches for everything—venue, DJ, photography, day-of coordination, flowers, catering—and provided us timelines and organization tools that were genuinely invaluable. We had very little idea going in exactly what was needed to plan a wedding, but Brittany’s collaboration made us feel very on top of things. She also worked with us to troubleshoot things when issues arose (like our flower provider not following some of our communication requests). And an added bonus is that she’s fun to hang out with lol—we really enjoyed our monthly meetings!! Would absolutely recommend the Venlist (and Brittany specifically)!

I had a very unique style wedding and most of it I tried to do DIY. In a nutshell, it became extremely overwhelming for me, so I asked my planner Rebecca to assist. Her and the owner were so kind enough to make my original package of Day of Planning, to Full planning at a discount! Saved my whole wedding day. I cried a few days before my wedding because remembering all the months prior, they were there for me every step of the way.

At ImPerfect Events, we believe the most meaningful celebrations are human and emotion-driven — which means they’re often a little messy, sometimes unpredictable, and never truly “perfect.” Those moments are usually where the joy lives, and what make a day feel unique and real. We were founded on the belief that weddings and events should be about love and community. They should feel warm, welcoming, and joyful — and we believe that same ease can exist in the planning process, too. In an overwhelming world, our goal is to create a planning experience that brings clarity, organization, and calm without losing heart.

Working with Sydney was such a great experience. She was so open to hearing about our (extensive) ideas and themes, all the miscellaneous thoughts we wanted to talk about, but then helping us understand what we could realistically do while staying true to our vision. Sydney was so on it, being detail oriented, keeping us on track, and helping us through achieving our milestones. Thank you so much, Sydney for all you did to make our special day one we'll never forget!

As the founder of AWE Planner, you might wonder: How did she become a planner? How many events do we coordinate each year? What inspires us about this work? For founder Jenn Greel, becoming a wedding and event planner was a natural path. Her journey began with bartending private events, and planning gatherings for friends, which eventually spared the idea of launching her own planning business. From our first wedding fair to signing our first client-who happened to be a coworker at the time-AWE Planner was built from scratch. With every event we've learned, grown, and harnessed our experiences to shape the outstanding team we are today.

Jenn is phenomenal! We hired her as a month-of coordinator for our wedding. In the final weeks leading up to our wedding, she created a floor plan and timeline for us, coordinated our rehearsal, and guided us on things like signage and vendor tips, which we would have been completely lost on without her help. She was very responsive (and patient!) as we peppered her with questions. We were already impressed with her at that point, but she really shone on our wedding day. There was so much going on, and she and her assistants handled it all so seamlessly. She made sure that everything was set up, everybody was where they were supposed to be, and that my husband and I were well-fed and hydrated throughout the evening, and she did it all with a calm demeanor that put everyone at ease. We were even ahead of schedule for most of the day! Here's a little story about Jenn and her team's attention to detail: She asked us ahead of the wedding day what drinks we wanted to have waiting for us at dinner. My husband asked for a Diet Coke. In my vows during the ceremony, I made a comment about how he prefers to drink Diet Cokes with no ice, and then when it was time for dinner, his Diet Coke had no ice! We were touched that Jenn and her team were listening and cared to make that personal little change. If you're planning a wedding and are wondering whether you need a coordinator, 1) yes, you do, and 2) you need to go with Jenn! She's the best :)

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Amanda for my wedding in December 2024, and I can honestly say that choosing her was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and wedding planning process. From the very start, she was so warm and approachable, making us feel like we were in the best hands. Her attention to detail was impeccable and she took the time to truly understand our vision and preferences, then helped us bring it all to life. On the wedding day itself, Amanda and her team were absolutely on top of everything! She managed all the logistics flawlessly, so we could focus on enjoying our special day. The timeline was executed perfectly, and I never had to worry about a thing. The day went exactly as we envisioned, and I owe that to her thorough planning and organization.

Our wedding coordinators were absolutely AMAZING! From the very beginning, Taylor and her husband went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. They worked so seamlessly together — calm, organized, and always one step ahead. The entire day ran smoothly thanks to them, and we were able to fully relax and enjoy every moment knowing everything was in great hands. They took care of every little thing, big and small, with so much care and professionalism. We truly could not have asked for a better team. If you’re planning a wedding, you need these two in your corner!
