Planners
This Santa Cruz and Bay Area corporate event planner package is for the offsites, leadership retreats, product launches, holiday parties, customer dinners, milestone anniversaries, fundraisers, and galas that need to look professional, run on a tight schedule, and reflect the brand of the company hosting them. The team works directly with the internal point of contact and shoulders the production work so the host team can be present at their own event.
What's Included
- Discovery call with the internal point of contact and scope confirmation
- Vendor short-list aligned to brand standards and budget
- Venue research, site visits, and floor plan creation
- Run-of-show production timeline (load-in, programming, transitions, breakdown)
- Audio-visual coordination and on-site vendor management
- Speaker, presenter, and entertainment cue scheduling
- On-site lead planner and day-of management team
- Post-event vendor wrap, invoice reconciliation, and a debrief summary
Who This Package Is For
The corporate package fits company offsites of twenty to two hundred, product launches with press and partner audiences, customer or partner appreciation dinners, holiday parties, leadership-team milestone events, non-profit galas, donor dinners, and conference welcome receptions. Several named clients in the region have used the team for repeat annual events. If you are an event planner inside a company and need a production partner who speaks the same language as your vendors, this is the package built for that.
About Us
This is owner-run event planning, which means 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, with a small, in-house team that knows the file end to end. 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 five-star rated across every public review channel, with more than one hundred verified guest reviews and three years of industry award wins recognizing client experience. Couples and event hosts describe the team in the same words across multiple years of feedback: organized, attentive to every detail, calm under pressure, 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 central California coast and travels for destination events.
Travel and Logistics
Local coverage spans Santa Cruz County, the greater Bay Area, the Monterey Peninsula, and the wine country corridor north and east of San Francisco. The team also runs a Mississippi side of the practice serving Jackson, the surrounding counties, and the East Coast, which is useful if you have family on both sides of the country or are bringing a destination event to a venue away from home. Destination events outside these regions are taken case by case; travel and per-diem are quoted transparently in the proposal.
Booking and Add-Ons
This corporate events 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.
