oso events

San Jose, CA
  • Planner
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $3,950

oso events began with our own wedding, and as a husband-and-wife team, we know firsthand how important it is to have a day that feels effortless, personal, and entirely yours. We’ve been in your shoes, and that’s why we approach planning with both expertise and empathy.​ But we don’t do it alone. Behind every wedding is team oso—a group of experienced planners who share our passion for seamless events and thoughtful execution. We bring a calm presence, deep expertise, and an obsession with making sure things run smoothly—so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Awarded Best of Zola
We first learned about Oso Events in the summer of 2022 while remotely planning our California wedding from the East Coast. From the very first introductory call, they blew us away with their professionalism, punctuality, warmth, organization, and excellence. Without them, our wedding would not have been nearly as amazing as it was! They found us fantastic vendors in the Bay Area like the food, HMUA, DJ, and server staffing company, organized our wedding day schedule, held regular video calls with us, got quotes from vendors, kept track of our budget and payment schedule with weekly updates, arranged set-up of the ceremony and reception venue, made sure our vendors got day-of tips, and more! The only thing that could be improved is that there was a specific deadline for event liability insurance that I and the planning team all missed initially. No harm was done though! The mistake was caught in time before it affected the event, and all went well! Michelle and Raymundo excellently identified what our energy levels as a newlywed couple would be like in the week leading up to the big event, and the day of the actual wedding. Raymundo directed our impromptu ceremony rehearsal, helping our officiant and party mark their places and signaling where/when we should stand and walk. Michelle checked in with the bride and the groom consistently throughout the night of the reception, asking if we needed water, food, or other drinks since we were often distracted by the festivities. They maintained effective communication leading up to and on the day of the wedding. Their decorations at the ceremony and reception were absolutely gorgeous and exactly what we wanted. At the end of the night, they managed takedown, and made sure all of the personal decorative items and remembrance photos we brought were conveniently all in the same box for us to take home. Through the yearlong process of planning, they dealt with last-minute logistical changes with incredible poise, and truly grounded us, allowing us to enjoy the day with free minds. The team even accommodated two of our guests who tested positive for COVID last-minute by setting up a separate table for them in the outdoor venue. We couldn't recommend them more highly. Not to mention, their BobaHolics boba bar was a huge hit and the photo booth was a lot of fun. We got a lot of mileage out of the sustainable decor inventory, which prevented us from having tons of wedding stuff on hand that we'd accumulate and need to resell after. The entire range of services offered by Oso is incredibly helpful and will make any event an absolute hit. We have loved working with the team and we’re so grateful they decided to take us on as clients at the start of their wedding planning journey.

Thalia Moshtagh Photography

San Jose, CA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,600

Hello! I’m so excited for the chance to work with you. I’m a former teacher who has always had a passion for photography. I started working freelance in 2015 and did a lot of my first jobs in the music industry. I shot Warped Tour a few times and even had one of my promos featured by AP magazine. I quickly realized I loved working with couples the most, and now focus on couple and family portraits and weddings!

Awarded Best of Zola
Thalia saved our wedding. We had to change photographers very last minute and were super worried about hiring someone new. Then we found Thalia and from the moment we had our first intro call with her we had a feeling that everything was going to work out. She was so professional, during our first call she was very well organized and clear about what she would need from us. She took her time to make sure we were a great match and to understand our vision. She was personable and kind, speaking with her felt like talking to a friend right away. She was considerate, during all parts of the wedding she made sure to give us time alone together and we never felt rushed. Even still she constantly captured the most breath taking photos. Lastly she was so much fun! Our guests loved her and thought she had the most wonderful energy. She directed us very well. Looking over the pictures I’ve never felt so beautiful. She even brought her own props to go with our theme for the pictures. A vintage camera and tray. Everything she did was so thoughtful. I wish we could have another wedding just to have her photograph it. You will not regret working with Thalia. We feel so incredibly lucky to have gotten the opportunity.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the opportunity to work as a vendor (photo) with Kaci recently at a wedding! Kaci was organized, communicative and extremely easy to work with. She did a great job of running the show seamlessly and keeping a calm, pleasant attitude all day long. Bad weather threatened to ruin the outdoor ceremony, but Kaci helped the couple come up with a plan B well ahead of time just in case. If there is one thing I’ve learned from working weddings, it is that the best vendors are able to operate calmly and with a smile under pressure. I definitely recommend working with Kaci!

Wedding Planning, Event Management, & Canine Coordination | With over 10 years of combined experience, Lavender Crown's planners Michelle and Hannah are based in San Jose and serves the Greater Bay area and beyond. We value a work-life-planning balance to that you can take back your time. Whether you just want some advice during the planning process or need someone to help save you over 100+ hours of your time, we're here for you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We don’t know how we would’ve pulled off our wedding without Michelle and her incredible team at Lavender Crown. My now wife and I live in New York City, and Michelle helped us plan our wedding in California (where I'm from), a challenge she handled with absolute ease. From day one, she wasn’t just our planner; she became a friend and a steady source of support through every step of this crazy process. No matter how many decisions we had to make or last-minute ideas we threw at her, Michelle handled everything with patience, professionalism, and a genuine passion that made us feel comfortable A few standout moments that meant the world to us: - Michelle was incredibly accommodating of our situation—meeting with us virtually while we were in New York and scheduling in-person meetings when we were back in California. - Michelle created a separate timeline for one of our bridesmaids, working with her directly, who needed time to pump and ensured it was seamlessly integrated into our wedding schedule, - When we had to pivot from our original hair and makeup artist relatively close to the wedding, Michelle handled it with grace and found alternatives that made us feel completely comfortable. - When the venue coordinator unexpectedly left without a word, Michelle took charge, navigating through the chaos and ensuring everything stayed on track—even with many unresolved items lingering right up until the big day. On the big day, she kept everything running smoothly, and we never had to worry about a thing. Even when unexpected hiccups popped up (because, let’s be real, they always do), we knew she had our backs. Of course, no wedding is without its challenges, and we faced a few bumps with our venue and vendors, but Michelle did everything she could to problem-solve and make things right. Her ability to stay calm under pressure and find solutions in the moment made all the difference—we truly can’t imagine having gone through this without her. If you’re looking for someone who is organized, thoughtful, and just an all-around amazing person to have in your corner, Michelle and Lavender Crown are the way to go. We are beyond grateful for everything she did to make our wedding day special. Thank you Michelle you’re truly the best!

I wanted to get Glam-Up for my best friend's birthday. Lauren responded super quickly after I submitted the request on her Instagram. I don't usually wear makeup and I didn't know exactly what I wanted so we discussed what type of makeup style and products that would look best and be the most compatible with my skin, hair, and outfit. She is very easy and so much fun to talk with and is very knowledgeable. She listened to what I roughly wanted and offered her advice in a considerate manner. On the day of the appointment, she was on time and kept to the schedule. She was incredibly professional, efficient, and accommodating. Everyone LOVED the result. I was OBSESSED with the look that she created. I got endless compliments on my look and people were constantly asking who the artist was.

When cutting edge technology meets inspired creativity, the most amazing images are produced and edited together to encapsulate your perfect wedding memories. Our team members are skilled, knowledgable, friendly, and creative individuals who work together to capture, edit, and deliver high quality content for every bride and groom.

There was no doubt in our minds when we chose Ivory Sky Media. We came across their videos on their blog and Vimeo, and fell in love with their style. Right when I got into contact with Allen, I felt so comfortable working with him. He was friendly, and quick to reply with our messages. Their prices and services were straight forward, nothing complicated, and very reasonably priced! Allen even gave me a discount (Facebook code). For our wedding, we had 3 videographers: Allen, Jennifer, and Frank. They were shooting all different kinds of angles, they even had a drone. How awesome!! The first time I met them, they were so friendly. Especially Allen, he was so genuinely kind-hearted, and even while we were getting ready, they were all so patient and nice with everyone. However, traffic held them back about an hour, but it was OK since we were kind of running behind schedule. Because of this, Allen was kind enough to refund me the extra 1 hour I paid for. How nice of him! The wedding video came in the mail as 2 BluRay discs, with customized cases. The entire video was amazing!! Previously, the editor had sent us a questionnaire that provided them an idea of our favorite songs and what style we wanted. All the songs they chose were so perfect!! The shots they took were beautiful, the drone shots were amazing! Then the highlight video was done and even that was also so perfect! Literally chose the perfect songs, songs we didn't even know much people liked or knew about, but these songs were all about us. It represented us so well as a couple. Overall, Allen and his crew at Ivory Sky Media were amazing! Highly recommended! Thank you!!

We worked with Margaret and she was a lovely event planner who had beautifully creative and elegant ideas. Our event was amazing—the decor, menu, and service was excellent. I would definitely recommend Margaret for anyone planning a special event.

Five Course Provision 

5.0

San Jose, CA
  • Caterer
  • Starts at $2,750

Chef John Alvarez, raised in the Bay Area, discovered his passion for cooking early, earning the nickname “tortilla boy” at 12 while working in his family’s restaurant. Training under Michelin-starred chefs like Michael Cimarusti, Michael Tusk, and Curtis Stone, he honed his expertise in seafood, fine dining, and butchery. Inspired by Chef Rick Bayless, John mastered modern Mexican cuisine at Leña Brava, specializing in moles, salsas, and wood-fire cooking. Today, he crafts personalized menus that celebrate diverse flavors and unforgettable dining experiences.

Planning a wedding can be a whirlwind, but partnering with Five Course Provisions and Chef John Alvarez made the catering aspect an absolute breeze. For our January 2025 wedding at the stunning Seymour Marine Center, we envisioned a customized buffet that reflected our love for both Asian and Italian cuisine. Chef Alvarez not only met, but exceeded our expectations. He crafted a truly unique and delicious menu that perfectly captured our favorite dishes, leaving our guests raving about the incredible flavors and variety. Beyond the exquisite food, the presentation was impeccable. The desserts, in particular, were a feast for the eyes and the palate – beautifully presented and utterly delicious. In fact, the food was so captivating that we were completely swept away in the moment and even forgot to take pictures! That’s a testament to how much we and our guests were enjoying the culinary experience. But what truly set Five Course Provisions apart was the five-star service. From the initial consultation to the wedding day itself, Chef Alvarez and his team were professional, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about making our day special. Their friendly demeanor and seamless execution allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our celebration. We wholeheartedly recommend Five Course Provisions to anyone seeking a truly exceptional catering experience. Chef John Alvarez's culinary artistry and unwavering dedication to service made our wedding day unforgettable. Thank you for creating such a memorable dining experience!

We couldn’t have picked a better venue for our wedding! The place was absolutely beautiful and had the perfect vibe we were going for.

The way they paid attention to all the details and made sure our personalities were reflected in everything really made the day feel special and unique.

I couldn’t have been more pleased with the beauty team for my wedding day! From start to finish, they exceeded all my expectations. The team was not only professional but also incredibly friendly, making the entire process feel relaxed and enjoyable. They took the time to listen to what I envisioned for my hair and makeup, as well as the bridal party’s looks. Every detail was perfect — my makeup was flawless, and my hair stayed in place all day long, even with all the dancing and celebrations.

Moderne Beauty & Aesthetics 

5.0

San Jose, CA
  • Beauty professional
  • Starts at $350

Moderne Beauty specializes in on-location makeup and hairstyling for weddings and special events. Monina Wright and her team not only create flawless, natural makeup looks and stunning hairstyles, but she’s also a licensed esthetician, offering the latest in skincare, waxing, and treatments to help address a large range of skin conditions.

Moderne Beauty did the hair and make-up for my wedding. I am pretty picky about my hair and makeup, and don’t generally like the way I look when made up. However, I truly loved the look Michelle created for me. She took my inspiration photos and made them work for me. I wanted a soft, romantic look and she delivered. I felt glamorous but still able to recognize myself in the mirror! She is so talented and would absolutely work with her again. Monina was great to work with, and I enjoyed coming to the studio and had two amazing facials. She also helped coordinate everything on the day-of, and I could not believe how efficient the staff was while still being great at their jobs! They finished 8 ladies in 4 hours, and I think everyone looked beautiful. We did not feel rushed, and had time to enjoy ourselves. My hair and makeup still looked great 12 hours later! I would definitely recommend Moderne Beauty!
