We interviewed and had conversations with a few wedding coordination vendors and Lavender Crown was the best fit! Michelle was easy to chat with, was knowledgeable about the wedding experience, shared her planning/coordination experience, and described how we could benefit from her services. We hired Lavender Crown Events for full planning. Michelle and Hannah were beneficial throughout our entire planning process providing advice and making suggestions to ensure our vendors and venue had the information they needed. They took care of tasks and worked with each vendor to ensure that we had a smooth wedding, and what a wedding it was! We felt so well taken care of throughout the entire process, and especially the few days up to and including our wedding day. We were so thankful to not have to worry about anything day-of and had a wedding making amazing memories! Michelle had a fantastic and detailed timeline and her expertise and know-how made it so our vendors had an easy time working with each other!

oso events

  • Serves San Mateo, CA

Our wedding planning business was born out of a love for all things dreamy and romantic. We understand that every detail matters when it comes to planning your wedding. That's why we're committed to paying close attention to the small things, while keeping the big picture in mind. Our hope for all of our clients is for them to feel the love and care we've put into building oso events. Your special day matters to us, and we always want to go above and beyond to make it exactly what you envisioned. Our goal is to ensure that you feel comfortable every step of the way to make informed decisions and to make the process as stress-free as possible.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with the Oso team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We actually hired them about 2 years in advance, so we got to work with them for a super long time! One of the biggest reasons that we wanted to hire Oso specifically was because of their decor inventory, which was 100% available to use at no additional cost with their full wedding planning package. Weddings can be extremely wasteful in terms of decor, so it was nice to be able to consciously be a bit more sustainable! We honestly ended up hiring Oso for so many other services as well — Michelle did an amazing job with our signage, they also have a great photobooth package, and Michelle’s sister owns Bobaholics so we were able to get a discounted rate for a boba bar! It really felt like a one-stop shop :) Michelle, Gen, Raymundo, and Gennie were all so helpful in coordinating with vendors and giving us wedding advice/guidance - working with them also gave us confidence that we weren’t missing any important steps or details of wedding planning. They were also available by text/email anytime, and they always responded extremely quickly, which I so appreciated! Talking to them felt more like talking to friends who were super passionate about wedding planning! On the actual day of the wedding, my husband and I felt so stress-free because of Oso - they seamlessly guided everyone to stay on schedule, had walkie talkies to communicate with each other, and constantly asked us if we needed any food/water/etc. They took care of passing out our vendor tips, and set up all of our decor with time to spare! When people ask us for wedding planning advice, we always say that hiring a planner was the best decision we made - specifically Oso Events! They are truly the best at what they do :) We could not be more grateful to them!

We worked with Yoko from Two Perfect Events, and her team was on top of it every step of the way. Yoko made sure to get to know us and took every step possible over the year we worked together to make sure that we were prepared for the big day. She was in touch with our vendors, and our families and made sure that everything ran as smoothly as possible. We never felt behind schedule or rushed because Yoko and team were so organized and on top of it. They really took care of us throughout the entire process. Something we appreciate is that they anticipated we'd need breaks during the day and scheduled those for us as well, they also made sure we were fed and hydrated throughout! Our families could not stop talking about how efficiently the entire day was managed. 11/10 want to plan another wedding just to hire them again.

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
My husband and I hired Kaci as our wedding day-of coordinator and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We were able to enjoy our day without stressing about anything and trusted Kaci to handle all of the details that we envisioned. She was so calm, cool, and collected through all of our meetings and was able to calm my nerves on the wedding day too. She was so sweet, listened to the things we wanted, and her organization and communication made her a great coordinator for us. Would recommend Kaci to anyone looking for a coordinator!

Honestly. Patricia was fabulous. As the Mother of the Bride, I watched her handle vendors, last minute surprises, and all of our guests with Grace and Professionalism. I never experienced any anxiety and knew that she had absolutely everything under control. My husband and I arrived before anyone else and watched as she seamlessly made sure that everything was done as planned. Her presence was barely noticeable except when needed and then she would almost magically appear anticipating the need. I am so impressed with her skills and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to my closest friends and family.

I am endlessly grateful that I booked Natalie for our wedding. I feel so fortunate that she is in our lives and designed the most unimaginably beautiful wedding for us. Not only was our wedding more stunning, special, and unique than we could have hoped for, it was also flawlessly executed from start to finish. Everyone was so impressed with how seamlessly the day came together and with all the charming details at every turn. The venue told us it was one of the most gorgeous weddings they had ever had there. Throughout the process, Natalie kept coming up with ideas to make the wedding more meaningful to us and our guests. We felt that she truly understood who we were and our needs. She was incredibly patient with us all year and always kept her cool. We are incredibly lucky because we cannot imagine our wedding day without her involved!

I had the best experience with The Venlist. I was fortunate to work with two great planners, first Kyra, and then Brittany. Kyra really understood what I was going for and was excellent at helping me plan, so I was bummed when she left. However, Brittany is absolutely amazing. She’s the absolute best at what she does. She goes above and beyond for you and she will definitely deal with any vendor issues you may have. Brittany is the main reason why my wedding vision was properly executed and brought to life. The Notion platform was perfect in keeping track of all things wedding, and I loved the style of it. Brittany is such a great person and easy to connect with. I will definitely keep in touch with her even after my wedding.

We cannot recommend Sandra and her team enough! Hiring her was by far and away the best decision we made. Sandra orchestrated the most magical and epic wedding weekend, and we're still buzzing from the experience! Every detail of our reception (down to the disco mushrooms) and the entire day was better than we could have ever imagined. Sandra supported us through the whole process with amazing dedication and creativity. She made sure she understood our vision and brought all of our ideas to life. Her frequent check-in calls, emails, and the countless hours going over all our ideas and questions were invaluable. It was incredible to have her wealth of knowledge guiding us every step of the way. Sandra and her team were there not just for us, but for our wedding party, family, and friends all day long! We've been getting compliments from our guests about how incredibly fun and seamless the wedding was! We truly couldn't have done it without her!!! THANK YOU, Sandra, for making our colorful disco forest wedding a dream come true! Photos by Megan Goetz Photography
