A wedding often starts long before the venue or vendors, with a childhood dream, saved images, or a vision waiting to take shape. At Aesthetic Embassy, that vision comes first and holds everything together, so nothing feels random or disconnected. Vendors, meetings, contracts, timelines, and budgets are kept under control, so you’re not chasing people or dealing with last minute issues. Each program is structured like a show, with clear timing and cues, so nothing feels rushed or out of place. No vendor commissions, only a trusted network. Full service planning and coordination in the Bay Area.

“Aesthetic Embassy just got us from the start — not only the look, but the whole vibe of our wedding . Everything was handled with so much care and professionalism , and on the day of the wedding I was actually able to relax and enjoy it, which meant everything to me, since I am a freak controlling person It all felt very personal, amazingly beautiful, and real. So grateful we worked with them”

“Working with Ivory Noir was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their communication style was incredibly responsive, respectful, and knowledgeable throughout the entire wedding planning process. The quality of their work and overall value was truly professional, open-minded, and reliable. Ivory Noir guided me through this whole wedding journey with compassion and enthusiasm, listening intently to my vision and executing it flawlessly.

“I have worked with Claire for over 8 years at multiple venues and seen her shine doing what she loves. There is not a single detail that will go unnoticed with her in charge. Weddings are second nature to her and she is careful to address all logistics beginning to end. Every couple who has hired her as a coordinator loves her and feels as if she is their best friend the day of. She goes above and beyond and will assist with everything she possibly can including (but not limited to) creating and following a sensible timeline, clear communication between vendors and couple family / wedding party, bustling dresses, bringing her emergency supply kit in case ANY unexpected incident should arise, and will manage the day without the client even knowing what is happening behind the scenes. Claire was born to be a coordinator and you will be the best hands with her on your day!”

At Event by Dawn, I’ve spent over 10 years helping couples bring their wedding dreams to life. I’m here to guide you through the planning process, making it as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. I love working closely with you to create a day that reflects your unique vision, and I’m happy to tailor my packages to fit your budget and needs. From start to finish, I’ll ensure your wedding day is seamless, personal, and unforgettable.

“Long story short: hire Dawn!! Dawn coordinated our wedding at Waterfall Lodge and we could have asked for a more supportive, collaborative, knowledgeable, detail-oriented, caring person to coordinate our day. From the start, communication was easy and Dawn was very responsive, transparent, and helped us create a wedding that aligned with our goals, values, and budget. She provided us with tons of resources to help us execute our day - sample timelines, layouts, vendor lists, tips and tricks, and more (in addition to lots of email communication and very thoughtful meetings leading up to our big day). Our wedding day was truly a dream - better than we could’ve ever imagined - and I strongly believe it is largely in part because Dawn (and the rest of our vendor team that mostly came from Dawn’s recommendations) was so on it. We were 100% present for our wedding and at peace knowing Dawn was in charge of our day. From the bottom of my heart and top of my brain, I couldn’t recommend Dawn more!! Thank you, Dawn, for helping us create the most perfect day to celebrate our love. :)”

“If you’re getting married, you have to book Paige Events! I got married in September 2025 — one of the busiest wedding months, especially in California — and Paige Events went above and beyond to help me plan the most perfect wedding weekend. They are incredibly organized, kind, and helpful throughout the entire process. They always made sure my opinions were heard and offered thoughtful options that perfectly matched my vision. My wedding had 300 guests, and even with that many people, the day felt completely seamless. I’m someone who usually worries about timelines, but I didn’t have to think twice about where I needed to be or what was happening next — they were always two steps ahead, anticipating every detail. Their vendor recommendations were spot-on, and every Zoom call with the team was a joy. They genuinely listened, made me feel heard, and always left me laughing by the end of each meeting. As organized as I am, I truly don’t think my wedding would have come together anywhere near as perfectly without them. Paige Events is an amazing team, and I can’t recommend them enough to anyone looking for planners they can truly trust to make their wedding dreams come to life.”

Hi, I’m Emi Reese! A wedding planner who loves turning your vision into a day that feels perfectly you. From timelines to tiny details, I handle it all so you can relax and truly enjoy every moment. My goal is to make your day stress-free, beautiful, and full of joy. A celebration you’ll remember forever.

“I was one of those people who went into wedding planning thinking, “I’m organized, I’m detail-oriented, I can probably do most of this myself.” While I loved being involved in the planning process, I eventually realized just how much I needed someone like Emi in my corner. Hiring Emi was one of the best decisions we made. From the beginning, Emi was incredibly organized, thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our wedding weekend feel personal to us. She helped us navigate the logistics, timelines, vendors, and countless little details that come with planning a wedding, particularly in the final five months. What I appreciated most was that Emi never made me feel like I was asking too many questions or caring too much about the details. She was always willing to talk things through, consider different options, and help us feel confident in our decisions. She helped bring our vision to life and ensured everything came together beautifully and felt completely true to us. On the wedding weekend itself, knowing that someone we trusted was managing all the moving pieces behind the scenes allowed us to be present and enjoy the celebration. Emi is incredibly talented, but just as importantly, she is kind, calm, patient, and wonderful to work with. We are so grateful to have had her by our side and would wholeheartedly recommend Reese Events to anyone looking for a planner who will make them feel supported every step of the way.”

“Mischa was the ultimate support as we prepared for our wedding. She helped us get really clear on what we wanted our wedding (and the days leading up to it) to be like, and what our priorities were. Then she recentered and refocused us back to those things as we got distracted by 'shiny objects' or other people's perspectives. She kept us grounded and connected throughout the process. We are so so so incredibly grateful to have had her in our corner. I can't imagine having our wedding without her -- our wedding was imbued with meaning because of her guidance and support.

“I loved working with Andrina to plan our wedding! If you’re getting married in the Carmel/Pebble Beach area, look no further - she’s truly a local expert. Not only is she very professional and amazing at what she does, but she has a caring and warm energy that had such a positive impact on the overall wedding planning experience. I was not someone who was really looking forward to the wedding planning process - I’m indecisive but also a bit of a perfectionist. Andrina was there every step of the way, giving advice, checking in, and being a sounding board for all ideas. She was able to translate my disorganized thoughts/inspiration/ideas into an absolutely stunning design, and nailed it. Her recommendations for all the details that go into a wedding day are spot on - she even recommended a wonderful jeweler in Carmel where we bought my husband’s wedding band. Our wedding day was better than we could’ve ever imagined - the C&C team handled everything so seamlessly and if there were any issues, I still don’t know about them to do this day. We were able to completely trust Andrina and her team, and they took care of everything to ensure we had a magical wedding day. We are so grateful for her expertise and highly recommend Confetti&Cocktails to any couple planning their wedding! Thank you Andrina for the best day!!”

Kate Ford Events (formerly Pocketful Of Plans) is a full service wedding and event planning company based in Monterey and Carmel California. We plan events in and around Carmel, Carmel Valley, Pebble Beach, Big Sur, and Monterey. We focus on your priorities and vision for the day or weekend to ensure your guests have a magical and immersive experience.

“From our very first interview with Kate, we knew she was the one. She came to the table with an incredible balance of confidence, deep experience, and a completely down-to-earth demeanor. Our initial impression was that she possessed a "Type A" personality in the absolute best way possible—highly structured, incredibly organized, and fiercely detailed. We walked away from that first conversation knowing our wedding was in the best possible hands. The Planning Process: Kate’s organization is elite. She maps out a clear, macro-level timeline so you always know what’s coming next, scheduling deep-dive meetings that perfectly correspond to each phase of the process. Her communication is seamless; she was accessible whenever we needed her, and on the rare occasion she wasn’t, she managed expectations upfront about when she’d get back to us. What we appreciated most was her curated approach. She didn’t rely on cookie-cutter themes from past weddings; instead, she used targeted questionnaires to truly understand our specific vision and brought it to life as a unique, personalized experience. Her vendor network is massive, and she provided exceptional, tailored options for everything—photography, videography, florals, catering, stationery, and bespoke branded details. Kate never simply said "no" to an idea. If there was a logistical or timing constraint, she immediately pivoted to creative alternatives that achieved the same look and feel. She spent over eight hours with us on a single weekend grinding through our food tasting, venue layout, furniture selection, and floral details without missing a beat. Throughout a process that can easily become overwhelming, Kate’s patience was unmatched. She was an absolute advocate for us, always had our back when negotiating with venues and vendors, and made the entire months-long process feel completely stress-free and adaptive to our demanding daily schedules. The Execution & Hospitality: On the wedding day, Kate and her team executed a complex, highly coordinated itinerary flawlessly. Her team operated like a finely tuned orchestra—everyone knew their exact role and maintained a highly professional, cohesive presence. She had dedicated assistants tracking the bride and groom simultaneously, meaning she had her finger on the pulse of the entire event from sunrise to midnight. Kate checked in with us constantly, ensuring we were updated and completely taken care of. Beyond looking after us, her level of hospitality was incredible. She treated every guest like a VIP, but paid exceptional, personalized attention to our families to ensure all of their specific accommodations were perfectly handled. She also seamlessly managed the logistics for our hotel welcome bags and custom wedding swag. It felt like Kate was viewing the entire day through our eyes, bringing our exact vision to life in real time. Everything we imagined our wedding would be was that and so much more. If you want a flawless, high-end execution, Kate is unmatched.”

I’ve always been inspired by the strong, ambitious women in my life who built successful small businesses in the hospitality industry — from restaurant owners and bakers to caterers and florists. Growing up surrounded by their entrepreneurial spirit, I was motivated to follow my own path and create something meaningful in the world of events. ​ After spending two years working as a Wedding Coordinator at the Westin, the pandemic hit and forced a pause on hotel weddings. That unexpected turn of events only fueled my determination to turn my passion into a full-time business. And so, Kaci Danae Events was born.

“Kaci was an absolute pleasure to work with, a true professional at what she does, and a gem of a human to top it all off! She took all of the pressure off of us as our day-of coordinator, and did so without ever looking stressed herself. She facilitated set up and executed timelines with sniper precision. Though she was our day-of coordinator/planner, she met with us in the days and weeks leading up to our wedding for venue walk throughs, met over video calls, helped me with rentals/quantity suggestions, and made us feel like we had ample, professional planning support throughout so much more of the process than just the “day-of”. Matt and I cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for a wedding planner or day-of coordinator more, nor could we have pulled off such a perfect day without her hard work and professionalism.”

“We knew that we wanted to have Jesse, and FCV very early on, so we booked them right after booking our venue two years before the wedding. We initially had them only booked for photography and videography, then after some thought realized we would need more help, and added coordination in too. They were so helpful when we decided to have an intimate ceremony and used our “engagement” shoot for our wedding, then added in a second shoot for announcements, and adding in bridals as well. Jesse and her team were so incredibly professional and made wedding planning seamless!

When we first started our wedding planning journey, we only knew where we wanted to have it, and due to the venue location not regularly being used for weddings, we needed to outsource vendors for everything. That's where McKenna came in and helped us out by hand-picking every vendor that she knew would provide the exact things we were looking for. From catering, florals, furniture rentals, DJ, and all the little details, she knew who would be perfect for the job and she was right about every single one! Every time we had a question or a crazy idea, she had an answer right away and she would do everything she could to make it happen. One thing that we were really hoping for was getting a disco ball above our dance floor, but since we were outdoors, it wasn’t looking promising. McKenna was the one who made sure that we got our disco ball, and it was absolutely perfect! That’s just one example of the many ways McKenna ensured our dream wedding would become a reality. On the day of, McKenna and her team were so efficient and handled everything so that my husband and I could relax and focus on ourselves. We got to our venue and everything was already done and ready to start the day! McKenna was amazing at time management throughout the day, and she was so helpful to not only us, but our families, wedding party and guests as well. Everything went perfectly on schedule and all the crazy ideas that we had came to life with no issues! It was truly the best day of our lives and it wouldn’t have been possible without McKenna’s help! I could write so much more on how incredible Events by McKenna is, but to sum it all up, they are the best choice for your wedding planning and coordinating needs and you will not regret choosing them for your big day!!”

“Candice and her team were a pleasure to work with. She was professional, kind, and above all very adaptive. We had to pivot/switch up a few details due to weather on our wedding day and I was SO relieved by Candice’s ability to make quick, smart decisions without ever making me feel overwhelmed or stressed on the day of. This was essential as not everything can go as planned on your wedding day but I never knew about any of it and she worked fervently behind the scenes to keep it that way. As a hands on bride with a strong vision, I was comforted by how on top of everything Candice was. She was able to bring my ideas to life and the planning tools she utilizes ensure everyone is on the same page without things getting lost in countless email threads. Candice's insights and experience are invaluable and the energy she brings on the day of is unparalleled. Would recommend Candice and her team to anyone I know and so grateful for them on my wedding day.”

“My partner and I were looking for guidance and help in planning our wedding celebration. We were recommended Two Perfect Events by our venue, Mister Jiu's, given their prior collaboration and experience with them. We were kindly welcomed by Leah and introduced to our planner, Yoko, who was amazing, carefully guiding and making our vision a reality, accommodating our preferences and budget, and helping us with the design and layout of the big day with all of our vendors. She provided multiple vendor options, communicated closely with them and us throughout the bidding and hiring process, and ensured we were all on the same page from planning through the walkthrough and up to the day of the event. One of the greatest things about this process was the clear, concise communication and organization that made planning, payments, and decision-making understandable, step by step, rather than a labyrinth of crossed wires and deadlines.  The day of our wedding was as effortless as could be. It was great to have the team from Two Perfect Events, along with Yoko and Leo, there to assist with setting up and taking down decorations and rentals, help guide guests, event staff, and our vendors, and ensure everything, including our deliveries and rentals, went according to plan. We also appreciated that our planners kept an eye on both of us the entire night to ensure we were doing well and enjoying the festivities, getting our food, making sure we were at the right place at the right time, and saving any items for our personal requests. We did not expect that Two Perfect Events would take behind-the-scenes photos and videos of the entire day and the in-person walkthroughs, which gave us a chance to reminisce on the process and quickly provide a glimpse of our families and friends outside the eyes of our wonderful wedding photographers.  We appreciated that our vendors were all in sync, and the coordinators ensured our entire process minimized the stress of planning, which was what we had hoped for all along. They provided us with good advice on choosing vendors, insurance for our wedding, and what to expect when working with multiple parties. It was evident that Two Perfect Events had considered multiple contingencies and scenarios in which snafus or unexpected issues may arise throughout the process, and we were glad that Yoko was always prepared for them, including giving us enough buffer time due to traffic delays so our guests could arrive on the big day.  Everyone complimented us on the evening, and it went by so smoothly. They commented that this was the least stressful and most fun wedding they've been to in a long time, which conveyed the vibe we were going for. We wanted it to be a fun yet intimate evening where everyone enjoyed getting together to celebrate, and we were delighted to celebrate that day with them. Thanks again to our wonderful planner, Yoko, and Two Perfect Events! We couldn't have done this without you.”

“Ashley was an absolute dream to work with! Matt and I feel so lucky to have had her guidance and support throughout the year and a half of planning our wedding on September 26, 2026. Through all the excitement and inevitable chaos that comes with wedding planning, Ashley kept us organized, on track, and reassured every step of the way. What made her truly special was that she never made us feel like just another client. Our relationship felt more like a friendship, and she became someone I could genuinely lean on whenever the wedding stress kicked in. I could go on and on about how incredible Ashley is, but I truly believe the best way to understand how special she is is to experience it for yourself. I couldn't recommend her enough to any couple looking for someone who not only knows what she's doing but genuinely cares about making your wedding day everything you've dreamed of. Thank you, Ashley, for being such an important part of our special day!”

“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. She also helped coordinate the rehearsals and the day of the wedding. I truly did not have to worry about a single thing on my wedding day, Kaiya handled everything with ease and care, and she guided us through our timelines of events that day with expertise. Without her I don’t know how I would have been able to manage everything on my own. I appreciate her greatly and am glad I was able to work with her! Thank you again Kaiya!”

I've been navigating the WI wedding industry since starting Redwoods in 2023. Before that, my love for events came from working at a winery in Napa, California. I'm here to help you with the chaotic parts of planning; navigating your budget, choosing the right vendors, staying on track with planning progress, and of course, managing the entire event day of (and everything in between). When I'm not in office, you can find me walking my dogs, reading a book, finding a fun craft class or restaurant to visit with my husband Alex (yes we have the same name) or traveling.

“Alex and Katie at Redwood were incredible for day-of-coordination. They made planning less stressful by answering our questions, providing useful resources, and giving great feedback on timeline. On the day-of, Katie managed set up/clean up, kept us on track, and gave us a general sense of peace. I’m usually a little Type A, but as a bride I felt I could fully chill and enjoy the day with Katie there - we were in good hands. She worked seamlessly with our vendors, venue, and officiant (a friend who officiated for the first time) and checked the little details. We loved her so much, we recommended her to some friends and we’ll see her in a month at their wedding!”
