I'm Jessie, the heart behind Tigerlily Events Co, a boutique events co that specializes in soulful and sustainable events throughout the Bay Area. I hold a business degree from UC Berkeley and bring over a decade of experience, from polished corporate events to Bay Area weddings to joyful kids' cooking parties. I've led events at LinkedIn and Culinary Artistas, and collaborated with some of the nation's top luxury wedding planners. You're equally likely to find me fine-tuning a timeline at 2am or on the dance floor. I bring that balance of precision and play to every event. All are welcome!

“From our first conversation, Jessie at Tigerlily Events Co. understood exactly what we wanted for our wedding day. She was incredibly responsive throughout the planning process and really listened to our ideas, which made us feel heard and valued. When it came to our budget, Jessie walked us through what was achievable and helped us make smart decisions without sacrificing our vision. For our florals, she had fantastic insights that helped us nail the exact look we wanted while keeping costs down. Her knowledge of the wedding industry and attention to detail went above and beyond what we expected. We loved working with Jessie so much that we hired her to plan our baby shower a year later. I cannot recommend Tigerlily Events Co. enough!”

“Amanda was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she was always available whenever I had a question or concern. No matter how big or small, she responded quickly, reassured me, and made the entire planning process feel so much less stressful. On our wedding day, she was absolutely incredible. While we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment, Amanda was behind the scenes making sure everything ran flawlessly. She handled every detail with such professionalism and care, and I know there were countless things she took care of that we never even had to think about. The perfect example of this is something I didn’t even find out about until a few days after the wedding. A family member told me that our cake was about to be cut and served before we had done our cake-cutting ceremony. Amanda caught it just in time and handled everything so seamlessly that I had absolutely no idea anything had happened. That’s how amazing she was. If there was ever a hiccup, I never knew about it because she took care of it before it ever reached us. She allowed us to be completely present, soak in every moment, and truly enjoy our wedding day without a single worry. I am so incredibly grateful for Amanda and everything she did to make our wedding perfect. She gave us the gift of a beautiful, seamless, and genuinely stress-free day, and that is priceless. If you’re looking for a wedding coordinator who truly cares, anticipates problems before they happen, and goes above and beyond for her couples, I cannot recommend Amanda highly enough. She exceeded every expectation, and we will always be grateful for everything she did to make our day so special!”

“It was a pleasure working with Kaiya! She was very cooperative, knowledgeable, and organized throughout the entire process. The package I chose with Kaiya was the event management service. Wedding planning was a bit stressful for me since it was just my partner and I planning the whole thing together but 3 months before the event Kaiya jumped in and helped manage all of our vendors, helped with day of timeline, and more.

Being Brazilian, I naturally embrace different cultures, traditions and styles - Making every event I plan feel unique, personal and true to each client. I’m here to take the stress off your shoulders and turn your vision into a day you’ll never forget!

“From day one, Isa made us feel like we were working with a friend, not just a vendor. She responded to every text and call in a heartbeat, even when we needed to vent about the small stuff, and her calm demeanor helped us stay grounded through the planning process. What really set her apart was how she advocated for us when the church wanted to change our ceremony, she stepped in and made sure everything happened exactly the way we envisioned it. On our wedding day, she had thought of everything: from bobby pins and toothbrushes to custom vow books so we could actually read our vows to each other instead of squinting at our phones. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how seamlessly the day flowed, and honestly, that was all Isa. She anticipated what we needed before we even asked, handled every detail with ease, and somehow made the whole process feel personal rather than transactional.

AWE Planner 
Rating: 5.0 (10 reviews)
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Pleasant Hill, CA

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 amazing! We booked her "A Little Bit of Help" package but truly got so much more than advertised. From the start, she helped us stay on track with booking vendors, planning logistics, and did a walk through of our venues to help us create our dream wedding. She also helped us research vendors within our price range (I highly recommend the taqueria she connected us with in the area!). Jenn was available at all times via text and email, which made the planning process feel effortless. She has an extensive inventory of décor items that we were able to borrow, including table signs, centerpiece vases, sign easels, photo frames, a gift card box, and more. On top of that, she is an expert florist who brought our vision to life through stunning church arrangements, bouquets, and centerpieces. On the wedding day, Jenn was calm, level-headed, and quick on her feet. She seamlessly managed our large and lively Asian family during a long photography session and kept everyone happy. She also created a detailed timeline, coordinated with all our vendors, and kept everything running smoothly. Thanks to her, we truly felt like guests at our own wedding -- something we didn't think was possible. If you want a coordinator who is organized, creative, professional, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect, Jenn is the one.”

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!”

“Hiring Shana was one of the biggest blessings of our entire wedding journey. From our first consultation call, she stood out. She was warm, modern, and in tune with we cared about, yet carried herself with a professionalism and clarity that made us feel confident. She had a clear plan and process, and we knew we'd be in good hands. We brought Shana in after we had already started planning, and she jumped in seamlessly. She helped with vendor procurement, ongoing planning, facilitated the rehearsal, and acted as our full day-of coordinator. Throughout the entire process, I had lots of questions - big, small, aesthetic-related, and everything in between. She handled my constant stream of thoughts and clarifications with grace. What impressed us was her ability to keep us on track while also lightening our emotional load. She stepped in as a mediator with vendors, friends, and family when needed - removing stress and giving us space to breathe. As we got closer to the wedding date, our meetings with her became an essential part of my sanity. I always entered the calls stressed or overwhelmed and left feeling grounded and supported. Shana was amazing at brainstorming solutions, pivoting when something changed, and offering ideas and perspectives we hadn't thought of. She was calm, confident, resourceful, and a reliable sounding board. During the rehearsal and on the wedding day itself, she was dialed in. She picked up on my stress before I even said anything and took on the weight so I didn't have to. One example: she would check in with us from time to time, but if we were chatting with guests or another vendor, she intentionally waited off to the side (but in our peripheral) so we knew she had something important to inform us about but without intruding on our moment. Ironically, I was surprised how little I saw her on our wedding day - it wasn't because she wasn't present, but because she was everywhere, quietly handling every detail behind the scenes. She and her team ensured the day ran without a hitch (or at least kept anything stressful far away). Everything felt seamless from my perspective, and that is entirely thanks to her and her team. If you're considering hiring Shana, do it. She is professional, creative, reassuring, patient, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect. She allowed us to fully enjoy the entire process, and we'll forever be grateful.”

“We couldn't have asked for better wedding planners than Anna and Lucky! They are incredibly responsible, detail-oriented, and an absolute joy to work with. From the very beginning, they scheduled an initial meeting to understand our love story, our vision for the wedding, our budget, and to walk us through the services they offer at The Darling Buds. After that meeting, they sent over a detailed breakdown of their packages. After thoughtful consideration, we chose the Month-of Coordination package--and it was one of the best decisions we made! In addition to coordination, they helped us build a beautiful and affordable wedding website that included our love story, the wedding agenda, RSVP page, photo gallery, and a link to our registry. They also went above and beyond by helping us create a wedding invitation tailored for our international guests to assist with their visa applications--such a thoughtful touch. One month before the wedding, we had a comprehensive prep meeting to go through every detail of the big day. Anna and Lucky became our main point of contact for all vendor communication, which saved us so much time and stress. As first-time newlyweds, we felt incredibly supported--they thought of every little detail we might have missed. They were punctual and helpful at our rehearsal, offering invaluable tips for ceremony positioning, like where each person should stand and how to coordinate with photographers and videographers to ensure all the right moments were captured. On the wedding day itself, Anna and Lucky truly worked their magic-arranging outdoor dining tables, communicating seamlessly with vendors, and keeping us updated on the schedule to make sure everything went smoothly. We are beyond satisfied with the planning and execution of our wedding thanks to Anna and Lucky.

They schedule weekly meetings to keep you in the loop throughout this process, giving you consistent updates in the lead-up to your special day.

“Meshawn was such a fantastic coordinator and we got so much value for the price with the day-of coordination package. She followed up with me every month leading up to the wedding to make sure the planning and vendor bookings were on track and. She also helped a ton with planning the full schedule for the day and had a good sense of how long each thing would take. And on the day-of she put out sooo many fires- unexpected guests showing up, adding an extra reception table, grabbing the vows that I forgot in the car last minute, coordinating with all the vendors. And every event was exactly on time and perfectly smooth. Even if you're doing a mostly DIY or budget wedding- day-of coordination is sooo worth it and I highly recommend Perfection Unlimited. They're super professional, calm, and kind. So grateful to their team for all their hard work.”

Hi, I’m Kalani! I believe you should be able to actually enjoy the wedding you’ve spent so much time planning. My job is to take the timelines, vendor communication, last-minute questions, and behind the scenes details off your plate so you and the people you love can be fully present.

“I seriously can’t recommend Kalani enough. From the start, she was super organized and on top of every detail, which made everything feel way less stressful. Her transparency paired with her ability to problem-solve was the perfect combo. Kalani was always clear and upfront, she quickly communicated any high-priority issues, questions or roadblocks in what we thought was the best way possible. It felt like if anything “small” or “stupid” came up, I didn’t even notice because she handled it. I actually got to enjoy my event instead of worrying. On the day of, everything flowed so smoothly. There was a point when our timeline started to run behind due to vendor issues and she adjusted things in real time and coordinated with vendors to get us back on track without it feeling rushed. She also handled a last-minute seating change for a few guests so seamlessly that no one even realized there had been an issue. We LOVVEEDDD her energy! She’s so lively and easy to connect with, and she didn’t just support me, she connected with my guests too. People were coming up to me talking about how great she was. She’s professional, reliable, and genuinely cares about what she does. You can tell she takes pride in her work. I’m so glad I booked her and would 100% recommend her.”

I joined the military on a whim and landed in Northern California, where I learned to love structure, connection, and celebrating people from every background. In 2022, I became an ordained minister after realizing just how much I’m drawn to real, deep love stories. The more weddings I officiated and planned, the more I found my spark in intimate celebrations. I wanted to create something different, a planning experience where you don’t have to lift a finger or carry the weight of timelines, vendors, or tiny details. At Ember, we handle the logistics so you can stay present, soak it in, and let your day unfold exactly as it should.

“Truly could not possibly say enough good things about Ty. She went above and beyond from a month through the day after our wedding. We hired her as our micro wedding day of coordinator in Santa Rosa, and she had so many suggestions we never would’ve thought of and took SO much stress off of me. Because we wanted to get married in my husband’s grandparents’ backyard, have a dinner party-style reception at a restaurant, and then bowling as an after-party, there were quite a lot of moving parts and location changes Ty immediately jumped in to make feel seamless for us and our guests. She found us the best shuttle, figured out so many reception details, and continually updated an extremely detailed timeline down to the minute that I would’ve been lost without. Multiple wedding guests not only raved about her to me and my husband, but also complimented her throughout our wedding. The real icing on the cake? We didn’t hire a videographer and we woke up on our wedding morning to 150 videos she had taken throughout our entire day on a shared album. She is so sweet, so amazingly detailed, and the absolute best combo of personable and a little bossy at the exact perfect moments when I really needed someone to take charge. Thank you, Ty! Our wedding day wouldn’t have been anything close to what it was without you.”

I work closely with vendors and communicate the expectations for the wedding day so everyone is on the same page and can execute a seamless experience for couples and their guests.

“We are so happy we had Sam planning our wedding! She was there to help, guide, and encourage every step of the way. I never felt overwhelmed or frustrated because I had her to lean on. I had a specific vision, but also a budget, and Sam helped me figure out how to make my dream wedding come to life within the constraints of money and space. On the day of the wedding, Sam made it absolutely seamless!! We didn't worry about a thing, and everything went incredibly well. We truly got to enjoy our wedding day without having to stress, coordinate, or do any last-minute things. We are SO grateful that we gave it all over to Sam. Can't wait for the vow renewal - we'll be hiring her again!”
