Planners
This South Bay and Bay Area micro wedding planner package is built for intimate ceremonies and receptions of sixty guests or fewer, the kind of wedding where every guest is someone you know by name, the venue is often a private home, boutique restaurant, or compact event space, and the day should feel like the most carefully designed dinner party of your life rather than a scaled-down version of a three-hundred-person reception.

Who This Package Is For
This package fits couples planning a micro wedding, an elopement followed by a small reception, a backyard wedding at a family home, a destination wedding where only the closest sixty travel, a vow renewal, or a post-courthouse celebration. It is also a strong fit for second weddings, blended-family celebrations, and couples who want to spend on a great meal and a beautiful venue rather than scaling up a guest list. A wedding planner here is doing more than coordinating, the planner is helping you decide what to keep and what to leave out so an intimate guest count still gets a fully designed day.
About Us
This is owner-run wedding and event planning with over sixteen years of experience in the field. The same senior planner you meet at the first call is the one writing your timeline, sitting in your vendor meetings, walking your venue, and pacing the rehearsal the night before. There is no account hand-off, no junior coordinator taking over after the deposit, and no template plan you wedge your event into. Every package is shaped to the actual event, the actual venue, and the actual guest list. Whether the engagement is a wedding planner role for a couple in the Bay Area or an event planner role for a corporate or milestone host, the structure is the same: senior planner ownership, transparent wedding planner cost up front, and a written plan you can hold the team to.
Approach
The process starts with a complimentary discovery call to confirm fit and walk through the package most suited to the scope of your event. Once you book, you get a structured plan with milestone checkpoints, a shared timeline, a vendor short-list tailored to your budget and aesthetic, and direct access to the senior planner for questions between meetings. As the date approaches, the team builds the master production timeline, runs the rehearsal, and steps in as the on-the-ground point of contact so you, your family, and your wedding party do not have to manage a single vendor question on the day itself.
Credentials and Trust
The planning practice is consistently four-and-nine-star rated across every public review channel, with more than sixty verified guest reviews and multiple years of industry award recognition. Couples and event hosts describe the team in the same words across years of feedback: attentive listeners, calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and able to take a vision that lives in your head and turn it into a real day that runs on time. The team operates from the South Bay and travels across the wider region for destination events.
Travel and Logistics
Local coverage spans the South Bay and Silicon Valley, the San Francisco Metropolitan area, the Oakland and East Bay corridor, Monterey and Carmel, and the Central Valley. Destination events outside these regions are taken case by case; travel and per-diem are quoted transparently in the proposal so there are no surprises in the final invoice.
Booking and Add-Ons
This micro wedding (up to 60 guests) package is priced at a flat rate published in the pricing section above, and is most often booked anywhere from three months to fifteen months ahead of the event date, depending on the package. A signed planning agreement and a deposit reserve your date on the calendar; the balance is split into transparent milestone payments through the planning timeline. Custom add-ons such as additional design consultations, extra rehearsal time, or additional staff for very large guest counts are quoted in writing before any work is added. Pricing is consistent regardless of channel: the same package priced anywhere is priced the same here.
