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.

My name is Samantha Grande. I have always had a passion for helping couples making their wedding dreams/visions come true on their big day. I have an eye for detail and I am a very hard worker. I understand all the wedding stress and I am here for you.

We hired Samantha as our "day of coordinator" as it was required by my venue. She went above and beyond the "day of" aspect and was with me from 8 months out. She would text and call to check in and ask if I needed assistance with anything. If I started to stress on something, she would handle it. As a mom, and full time student, who was buying a house, and planning a wedding, she brought ease to the wedding planning process. She had her own baby during this time as well! My reception space turned out beautiful thanks to her, her assistant and my mother-in-law's (and some family) diligent help/work. She sent me pictures of the venue space as I hid out waiting for my ceremony. She is very kind, and I think she did a great job!

I can honestly say that Ali was our wedding-planning superhero! When we first started planning our wedding, I wasn’t even considering hiring a wedding planner since our venue came with a coordinator. However, looking back now, I truly have no idea how we would have pulled off our wedding without Ali. She was absolutely indispensable! I did most of the vendor research and design planning on my own, and while that was manageable, Ali’s services took the entire experience to the next level. She was a lifesaver when it came to the logistics. She kept me organized, helped me stay on track, and made sure I was realistic about what could be done within my vision and budget. Even when the process got overwhelming, Ali was there, ensuring I didn’t get lost in the details or stray too far from my goals. On the wedding day itself, Ali truly shined. From what I was told, there were a few hiccups throughout the day (which is inevitable with any event of this scale), but I never had to worry about a thing. Ali quietly and efficiently handled everything behind the scenes, ensuring that I wasn’t aware of any issues and always had a solution in place before I even knew there was a problem. Thanks to her, I was able to relax and enjoy every moment of our special day without stress. If you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, I can wholeheartedly recommend Ali. She made all the difference for us, and I’ll forever be grateful for her dedication, expertise, and calm presence. She is an absolute gem!

When my husband and I started our journey to plan our wedding, I knew we were going to need some help. We are non traditional, with very eclectic tastes, and we were going to need someone special to help us pull off all of our insane ideas. I extensively researched over 20 coordinators, had a phones calls with 5 different companies, but ultimately I knew Ashley from Rose Event Co. was going to be the one. From the start she personable, intelligent, and made me feel understood in what our vision was for our special day. Throughout the process she was punctual with all of our appointments, gave helpful suggestions, and made me feel confident leaving my type A personality and needs in her hands. The weekend of the wedding came, and a lot of creative problem solving as well. We rented a private mansion for our event and did the rehearsal the day before. Ashley was there early, having already communicated with my other vendors and the venue to make sure we would be prepared for our big day. What we didn't expect was the kitchen under construction, furniture and decor that had not been moved at our previous requests(but promised), rooms that we had planned for, but could no longer use, and the Venue staff not "remembering" months worth of text and phone call conversations about our needs and expectations, as well as their promises and what they were supposed to deliver. There were other issues, but I digress. Ashley immediately stepped in with ideas and to be the go between with the Venue, and to help troubleshoot the long list of problems that had now come up. The night before was stressful for my Husband and I, not knowing if we were going pull this off, but I knew with Ashley, we were in good hands. The day of she brought her A game, a stunning red dress, and handled business. She was not afraid to get involved and make sure everything we wanted happened. She listened to our needs, knew when to step up or step down, was super flexible in our timeline and made sure to handle any issues that arose during the wedding. Her ability to read a situation and adapt to the issues at hand made her the perfect fit to our crazy ideas. She has incredible creative problem solving and is kind hearted and hard working. If it wasn't for Ashley, we could not have pulled off our day. I would recommend her 10x's over, to any bride that wants an absolute badass by their side. She handles business, and gives confidence to her clients. Thank you Ashley and Rose Event Co. for turning what could have been a disaster into a day dream!

Calmerin was the best investment we made for our wedding, hands down!!! Glennie and Ashton were incredible from the start to finish. We knew from the very first phone call that they were going to 100% on top of it, and we were right! The organization and detail of this team is top-notch. We hired them for Jade Package, which is similar to day-of-coordination (which is really more month-of), and was super important given our majority DIY wedding with 170 guests. Plus, Glennie and Ashton were such lovely, kind, and genuine people!! While the bulk of the details and communication was in the month leading up to our wedding, we had access to all of the planning docs as soon as we sent our deposit. The planning docs are AMAZING and so detailed, making us feel like we could transfer all of our knowledge/plans/thoughts to them. This was really important for us since we were doing the majority of the planning, and they executed phenomenally. We were also able to ask them for questions, such as a DJ recommendation. Glennie and Ashton were fantastic during the thorough venue walk-through, video calls, rehearsal with our wedding party, and on the day-of. We were able to drop off all of our wedding stuff (2 SUVs full) the morning of with set-up directions, and we showed up and it looked better than we had imagined/planned for! The tight set-up window from our venue was stressful, but Glennie and Ashton made sure everything was ready to go. They were so great at communicating with our vendors (we got many compliments!) They only texted us 1 small question the day-of, knowing that we were stressed and busy. They were AMAZING throughout the whole night, making sure we were on schedule and that we had everything we needed. We could go on and on about how amazing the team was and how happy we are that we worked with them. Best decision, book them before their calendars fill!

She was beacon of calm and clarity amidst all the moving pieces, and because of her I was able to fully surrender and enjoy my wedding to the fullest. So many people have told me that our wedding was the most beautiful they've ever been to, and that is largely due to Mischa's brilliance, expertise, and enormous heart. You would be blessed to work with her for your wedding...I can't recommend her highly enough!

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.

Every love story deserves a storyteller who gets it right. As your wedding planner, I don't just coordinate events – I translate the unique rhythm of your relationship into an unforgettable celebration. With 10+ years of turning wedding-day dreams into picture-perfect realities, I've mastered the art of bringing personal touches to life while keeping the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. 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.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but my wife and I actually looked forward to our planning meetings. She listened to our vision, offered creative solutions, and anticipated needs we didn't even know we had. When unexpected rain threatened to dampen our spirits, she stepped in with backup venues, alternative photo locations, and solutions that kept our celebration running smoothly. Our guests had an absolute blast, completely unaware of the behind-the-scenes magic she was working. To any couple planning their wedding, I cannot recommend Sanjam highly enough. She doesn't just plan weddings – she creates experiences, manages emotions, and turns potential stress into pure joy. Our wedding was perfect, and that's entirely because of her incredible skill and dedication.

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.

Elizabeth was the coordinator for our wedding and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Even from the very first call, she had such a calming presence that I knew she would be a vendor that I can reliably count on. We had a few calls with Elizabeth the months and weeks leading up to the wedding. During each call, Elizabeth would provide us with all the items we needed to check off before the big day. She also helped us fine-tune our timeline, and was great at communicating with all our vendors. Our big day definitely went very smoothly, with much thanks to Elizabeth! We'd highly recommend working with her for your wedding.
