“We had a wonderful experience working with Amanda as our Day-Of Coordinator for our wedding this past October! From our first meeting with her, we could tell that Amanda really cared about what she does, and it is very obvious to see how much effort she puts into everything. She is extremely caring, communicative, efficient, and helpful! She provided us with great planning resources and information, and scheduled frequent check-ins to make sure we felt comfortable in the planning process. We knew that everything would run smoothly on our wedding day because of her dedication, organizational skills, and knowledge of the wedding industry. We had a sort of unconventional wedding day schedule, which made many aspects of planning and decor set-up a lot more difficult. Amanda tackled these challenges with ease! She coordinated with our vendors and event staff in order to make everything perfect! We are so grateful that we found Amanda! She is so supportive, organized, and great at what she does! She made sure our day was perfect, and we are so lucky to have had her as a coordinator!”

AWE Planner

  • Serves Richmond, 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 was our month of wedding coordinator and she absolutely saved us with the most hectic month of wedding planning! It was incredible that Jenn was available for meetings even before the month of coordination stated. We are definitely the kind of couple that knew what we think we wanted but weren’t sure if they were actually good ideas for a wedding. Jenn has a ton of experience and definitely helped guide us onto the right path during those meetings! And very importantly, the day of the wedding was so smooth, if anything went wrong that day we had no idea because from our perspective we had the perfect day. She also had this great ability to take ideas we briefly mentioned during meetings and ensured they were delivered on the day of. She also definitely took care of us on our wedding day, and made sure we ate (which both our livers and stomachs really appreciated) - which does not seem like a guarantee during most weddings! As a bonus, Jenn is actually hilarious and our bridal parties loved working with her during the rehearsal, and several guests said they loved bumping into her as well! Also, don’t underestimate Jenn’s hatchback! We took an overloaded sleeper van with all our decor and alcohol for the wedding and were convinced it would not fit in there in one trip, and she proved us wrong! Get yourself a wedding planner that can efficiently tetris both wedding items and wedding plans like Jenn!”

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!”

The last three months leading up to my wedding were incredibly stressful, but bringing Cynthia on board as our day-of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment she stepped in, she brought a sense of calm and control that truly helped relieve so much of the pressure I was feeling. Cynthia is incredibly organized and detail-oriented.

“We had a fantastic experience working with Elizabeth. She was the day-of-coordinator for our 150-person wedding in Oakland, CA in May 2023. The day before, and the day of our wedding went so smoothly thanks to her and her assistant Rachel. We were so grateful for her expertise and support – she did so much for us on the day of the wedding, and I’m certain she was doing things behind the scenes that we didn’t even know about that kept everyone and everything running perfectly, and on time. We confirmed our date with Elizabeth 9 months out, found and signed contracts with the rest of our vendors, and then started communicating with her again a few months out. She helped us with our timeline, got us thinking about quite a few things we hadn’t thought of, and then a few weeks before the wedding, we had a seamless handover.

“Hudson Ave Events (specifically Jacquelins, who was our coordinator) was the perfect choice for us. Despite only signing up for month-of services, she communicated with us well before then and her communication was clear, concise and helpful as she guided us through the process. Jacqueline and her team proved to be incredibly knowledgeable, detail-oriented and honest in their approach. On the day of the wedding, she seamlessly troubleshot any minor mishaps behind the scenes, ensuring everything ran smoothly without adding any unnecessary stress. Her proactive communication with our vendors was also greatly appreciated. It's clear Jacqueline and her team have a wealth of experience planning weddings, and we're so grateful they were there to make our special day everything we dreamed of and more.”

Hi, I'm Rachael! The planner behind Leonie Events, bringing good energy, thoughtful details, and a little bit of magic to weddings across the Bay Area and beyond. I'm all about celebrations that feel like you. From keeping the planning process organized to handling the behind-the-scenes chaos (so you never have to), I'm here to make sure you can actually enjoy every moment. You bring the love, I'll handle the logistics!

“My (now) wife and I can’t say enough great things about Rachael’s services leading up to, during, and after our wedding day. She was so communicative, thoughtful, helpful, and professional. We didn’t have to worry about a thing on our wedding day besides being with each other and our loved ones. All of the planned details and visions came to life better than we expected, with Rachael and our vendors’ help. Out of the many things we spent money on for the wedding, Rachael’s services paid in dividends!! Hoping to have a reason to work together again soon.”

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.

“I’m so grateful for finding Ty. Our initial call to discuss my vision and to see if Ember was the right choice for my wedding went perfectly. I could tell she knew exactly what she was doing when we spoke on the phone. My number one priority was to not have to set up stuff on my wedding day and not have to coordinate. Anytime there was a problem on my wedding day she took care of it and was very active in my wedding day. From handling a problem with the caterer to handing out blankets to guests as their gift. Not only did she do all of that she also took pictures and videos and created a whole album for me since she knew I wouldn’t get pictures from my photographer/videographer for a while. Those pictures and videos were some of the best ones I got. Thank you Ty and Nikki!”
