oso events

  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $4,750
  • 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.

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.

Kaci Danae Events

  • Serves San Mateo, CA

Hello! My name is Kaci Danae Peel and I can't wait to meet and talk about your upcoming wedding day! ​ I grew up surrounded by strong women with high ambitions to make their small businesses successful in the hospitality industry. They were restaurant owners, bakers, caterers, and florists, and seeing their dreams come to life has lead me to pursue my own small business as a Day of Wedding Coordinator. After working in hospitality for 2 years as a Wedding Coordinator at a Westin hotel, Covid put a pause to my hotel weddings and fueled my fire to continue pursuing my passion of weddings by starting Kaci Danae Events.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a pretty elaborate wedding at Children's Fairyland in Oakland - with a choreographed dance, the bride sang a song with the band, had a DJ with two setups, we brought our own florals and booze, had a unique centerpiece for every table, location changes for the bar, and had a pretty tight timeline, and Kaci made the day absolutely perfect and magical! She came to our house, loaded everything up, and dropped it back off at our house that same night, coordinated with all of our vendors ahead of time and day, and made everything seamless. She also has a calm about her that would make the most anxious bride or groom feel at ease. We cannot recommend her enough - thank you, Kaci!!! I hope we can utilize her services again someday and maybe even just hang out with her, because she's great!

I’ve been planning/coordinating events since 2006 and love every aspect and detail. I enjoy channeling my creativity, organizational skills and attention to detail to help create the vision for each and every client.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Orralyn as our wedding coordinator, and she exceeded every expectation. From start to finish, her organizational skills and attention to detail were incredible. Orralyn has a remarkable ability to understand and capture your vision, making sure every aspect of the day reflects your unique style and preferences. What really sets her apart is her warm and kind demeanor—working with her felt like collaborating with a close friend. She’s also incredibly sweet, which added such a lighthearted and enjoyable atmosphere to what can sometimes be a stressful planning process. Her determination to make everything perfect is evident in every interaction. If you’re looking for someone who is not only talented and meticulous but also genuinely invested in making your day special, Orralyn is your girl! We couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator, and we’re so grateful for her hard work and passion! Not only have I been lucky to use her for my own wedding, but I’ve also gotten to work with her as a Bridesmaid, while in friends and families weddings!

Welcome and congratulations on your engagement! You’re here because you already have a good handle on the planning process and just need a calm, organized and fun person to ensure everything comes together seamlessly. That’s me! Hi, I’m Patricia. As a former Executive Assistant it was easy to transition to becoming a Wedding Coordinator. I traded managing CEOs and their schedules for managing couples and theirs! I’ve been in the wedding industry since 2006, starting with designing invitations and full planning to where I am now.

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.

  • Serves San Mateo, CA

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.

Michelle was our canine coordinator on our wedding day and she took care of our dog and made it possible for him to be a part of our wedding celebration. Michelle did a meet and greet with our dog and you can immediately see her love for dogs and also her experience working with them. Our shiba is a stubborn boy who can tune others out when he’s curious, but Michelle was able to get his attention when needed. She also took him back to our hotel and fed him and we were able to enjoy our reception without having to worry about who was taking care of our dog. If you are interested in having your pup involved in your wedding, I highly recommend Michelle. We had a worry free experience with her around because we knew our dog was in good hands. Another perk of having a canine coordinator like Michelle is that you know your dog is being handled by a professional and that none of your guests would have to step away and miss out on any part of your wedding should your dog get restless during your ceremony, etc. Easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding :) Thank you, Michelle!

Based in San Jose, CA, Leanne Lane Weddings is a wedding planning business specializing in personalized and unique event coordination. Owner Leanne prides herself on expertly helping couples navigate the planning process, finding their dream vendors, and tying together the essential details. She is devoted to creating stress-free environments where ideas can flourish. Couples are sure to appreciate Leanne's talent for managing their big day. She offers day-of coordination, partial, and full-service planning packages. Leanne meets her clients wherever they are in the planning stages, creating mood boards or finishing up the final details.

Leanne and her fabulous team were the perfect addition to the team of vendors I hired for my wedding earlier this year. While she saved my wife and I precious time and money throughout the planning process, I'd like to call attention to her secret super power - her profound ability to connect with my nieces and nephews. I have an autistic nephew that is extremely sensitive to sound and large crowds. He does not enjoy any sort of attention on him and typically retreats when he is too overwhelmed. Leanne someone conjured up some magic to got my nephew down the aisle successfully. (We have the most precious photo of him walking and my sister crying happy tears in the background that we will cherish forever.) While I was getting ready on my wedding day, I heard him run into the room looking for her so that he could share a picture he had drawn for her. When Leanne made it in to check on me and my Bridesmaids, he was overjoyed with emotions to see her. This is extremely out of the ordinary for him as he has a hard time connecting with strangers. Leanne go down on her knees to be eye level with him and even asked for his autograph! What a gem! Later in the evening, I caught her on the dance floor with him and she even brought him a cupcake because he was too nervous to approach the table on his own. We couldn't have been happier by hiring Leanne and have continued a connection, months after our wedding. Leanne is organized, pays attention to detail and is sympathetic and loving - a trait I didn't know I needed in a wedding planner. :) Love you forever Leanne! -Sam & Danielle

Jesse and her team were amazing! We used them for month/day of coordination and photography of our wedding. I have nothing but great things to say about their work ethic, attention to detail, fast/clear communication and upbeat attitudes. Jesse was always there when I needed her and was fast to help me with any questions or needs I had. Jesse and Julia helped run my special day and they were on top of everything!

We found Evelyn and Love & Laughter through Instagram and we can’t tell you how much we enjoyed our entire planning experience! She helped us with the vendors we needed, met with us multiple times to talk over logistics, and handled the Day Of completely and the day ran without a hitch! I’m a super anxious person and an overthinker but Evelyn made sure to always calm my nerves and I would always leave our meetings feeling relieved and at peace. She is such a light of a person too; she’s warm and bubbly and funny all while being professional and that connection was something really I needed. I didn’t just want a robot running the day, I needed to feel that connection and with Evelyn that was instant. Our wedding day turned out exactly what we had for so long dreamed of and we couldn’t thank Evelyn enough for taking care of us throughout these months. We love her and you will love her too!!

If you want to make your wedding planning even a fraction easier, hire Calmerin. We got their Jade package and even though that’s their smallest package it was so so helpful. We talked with Glennie and Amanda to talk over big picture stuff, get recommendations for other vendors, etc. and then the first time I met them was for the venue walkthrough. They’re the professionals and so they brought so many excellent questions for us and for the venue. It really helped us know what we still needed to figure out and prepare for the big day. Then, for the rehearsal/walkthrough and the big day, they were there every step of the way to help get the whole timeline sorted out. Both Amanda and Glennie were so kind and professional; they helped the whole day run so smoothly. The last thing, but really SO important and crucial: they helped with the breakdown and packing everything up. While we were all dancing on the dance floor and having a blast, they were helping to gather up everything and get the venue set back as it needed to be by the end of the night. It was such a weight off our shoulders for them to just handle all of that. They were always on top of everything and it was all so wonderful. Hire Calmerin for your wedding, and breathe a sigh of relief that you have them on your team because now it will surely be a beautiful day. Thanks Glennie and Amanda for everything! It was such a joy to work with you both!

I cannot say enough incredible things about Erin. Above and beyond does not begin to cover it! Look no further for any of your wedding planning needs. We hired Erin for our month of coordinator almost 2 years in advance. From the beginning, she was very responsive, informative, kind, and helpful. I am pretty organized, and she consistently thought of questions I didn't! I was very impressed with her demeanor with myself and the rest of our vendors. Our venue required a pre-approved coordinator, and Erin took the steps to contact them to make sure she would work out, and we are so glad she did! She did everything she said she would and then some. She reached out to all of our vendors, worked with us on our timeline (many times!), attended our rehearsal, and never got frustrated even when we had a lot going on. Erin felt more like a friend than a coordinator, and we are so happy we got to spend our special day with her. Our day went so smoothly from start to finish, and we know this is due to Erin's impeccable attention to detail. If you are looking to have an incredible day with a crisp timeline and no stress - Erin is your gal!

We were referred to Savvy Weddings because Amanda had coordinated my sister’s beautiful wedding in Hawaii. When my sister mentioned that Amanda had a California counterpart and partner, Sandra, who handled all California weddings, we knew we had to meet her. From the moment we connected with Sandra, it was clear—she was an absolute godsend! I truly can’t imagine having planned my wedding without her by our side. Sandra was attentive, thoughtful, and with us every step of the way. Even though we only booked the “month-of” service, she generously provided support well in advance, joining us for vendor consultations and venue walkthroughs nearly a year before the wedding. She went far beyond what we expected, giving us peace of mind through the entire planning process. Her dependability and calm presence made everything feel manageable, and I knew I could trust her completely. When the wedding weekend finally arrived, Sandra and her amazing team were on top of every detail. They took care of everything seamlessly, helping me stay calm and present—something I didn’t think would be possible with all the wedding-day jitters! Thanks to Sandra, my wedding day was everything I dreamed of and more. So much of the magic we experienced was because of her and her incredible team. I will forever cherish the memories of that day, and I am endlessly grateful to Sandra for making it all happen. If you’re considering Savvy Weddings, do yourself a favor—hire Sandra.

With over 30+ years of combined experience, our team is committed to bringing you the wedding of your dreams.

I had a very unique style wedding and most of it I tried to do DIY. In a nutshell, it became extremely overwhelming for me, so I asked my planner Rebecca to assist. Her and the owner were so kind enough to make my original package of Day of Planning, to Full planning at a discount! Saved my whole wedding day. I cried a few days before my wedding because remembering all the months prior, they were there for me every step of the way. And on the day, everyone kept asking me, Is your planner a friend of yours? I honestly told them, 100% yes. :) Because I feel like we now are friends. Such a family orientated company. I highly recommend.

Mischa is incredible to work with. We have so much respect and trust for her as a person and a professional. After we had our initial call with her, I knew she was the perfect match for us. She met us where we were at and inspired us with her spirituality, depth, creativity, and joy. She has incredible organizational skills combined with beautiful presence and the ability to offer a sweet and subtle level of emotional support - all that allowed us to relax into our wedding and enjoy every minute of it.

At the end of the day, your wedding isn't just about the perfect timeline or the pristine place settings – it's about celebrating your love story exactly the way you imagined it.

You can hand her the planning process and trust me, she will make it seem like a cake walk. Hiring her is the best choice I made for my wedding day!

Her spreadsheets are a godsend, and her approach is seamless, modern, and perfectly aligned with today’s bride. On top of that, she’s an ultra-fast communicator—always available and responsive, which makes planning a breeze. In a world where many high-priced planners rely on outdated tools, Amanda’s resources are fresh, intuitive, and highly efficient. Amanda is in a league of her own. Her modern, forward-thinking approach coupled with her stellar negotiation skills make her an invaluable asset to any wedding. What I appreciate most is how Amanda tailors everything to fit your needs—she provides a level of personalized attention that makes you feel genuinely cared for.

I am a 'hands-on' Wedding and Events Coordinator that goes above and beyond my client's expectations. I take pride in what I do and ensure that everyone from my Bride and Groom or Host, their guests, and even their hired vendors are taken care of throughout the celebration.

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. She helped our vision come to life, was very calming and kind, had great communication with the rest of our vendors, and we can’t recommend her enough.

Jackie made my dream wedding possible. We first started working together before the pandemic, and from the beginning she was an amazing advisor that helped me deal with the difficult decisions a bride-to-be has to make. I was very impressed by her proactiveness, professionalism, and wealth of knowledge about how to make the day special. She checked in with us regularly over the 2 year delay and helped us manage the challenging process of rescheduling multiple times. As we got closer to our wedding day, Jackie made sure we had every detailed lined up, including things my husband and I didn't even consider. She helped take care of signage, shipping, confirming with vendors, table/space set-up, and more. On the day of our wedding, she directed vendors, guided guests, and dealt with unforeseen emergencies. Our wedding could not have gone smoother and it was in a large part because of Jackie! We are incredibly thankful and can't recommend her enough!

I have always been the go-to friend when you need help hosting a party, always the bridesmaid with a clipboard. After leaving my job as an executive assistant, I decided to turn my passion for organizing events into a reality and created Nomad Nixon. I'm an Enneagram 2 with an even 1-3 wing, loosely translated to "I'm a perfectionist that feels most successful by helping others." Quality time is my love language. I love getting to know each couple and embracing their unique love story.

Kendra absolutely rocked our wedding. Her ability to stay calm during all the ups & downs and changed minds about wedding planning was key to helping us stay on track throughout our two year wedding planning journey. She was there for us at the start and was able to guide us back to our initial goals of having a kickass San Francisco wedding. She organized our park ceremony seamlessly and had an assistant setting up at the restaurant where we had our reception while we bopped around the city on a double decker trolley (shout out Nationwide Limo), showing our guests the best of the city. If you are looking for a cool, calm & collected wedding coordinator to keep you on track with your wedding dreams, hire Kendra. She's the best!!

Meshawn and the team at Perfection Unlimited were our Coordination team for our October 2023 wedding. We could not have asked for a better team to coordinate our unique wedding ceremony that was a surprise to our guests. After connecting with PU via Thumbtack back in mid-2023, we spoke with Matthew who immediately understood the importance of our vision. Our wedding was held at the New Parkway Theater in Oakland, Ca. It started off as a friends and family screening of a short film (the Bride was the director, the Groom was a crew member). Then, during the post-film Q&A, we revealed to our guests that we were getting married right then and there in the theater. Not only did PU coordinate a film screening complete with red carpet, step & repeat photos, food, drink, DJ and more, but they helped transition into a full wedding ceremony. Meshawn ran point on everything: rehearsal, procession, recession, cake, etc. Stellar team members, Angel and Rakisha, executed everything flawlessly. Angel acted as the special events coordinator, making sure our tech was on point (sound, picture, graphics, everything!) and she even made a reel for us to post on our socials. PU was up for the challenge of our 2-in-1 surprise wedding/film screening, and they rose to that challenge with much aplomb. For what we asked for, they could've up-charged us greatly. PU made us feel heard and seen throughout the process. We wanted our wedding to be a collaboration between BIPOC businesses and creators celebrating what we can achieve when we work together. Thanks to PU for what they promised, perfection.
