We loved working with Ella! I plan events for a living so wasn't planning to get a coordinator for the engagement party but it made a HUGE difference not having to set up for the event/worry about logistics/all the small details. Because of Ella, my fiancé and I were able to really just be present and enjoy the evening - and everything felt so smooth & seamless. Thank you so much to Ella & the entire Mostest team for being so wonderful to work with!

This proactive approach is invaluable, and we truly appreciated it. Brittney's attention to detail was impressive; she asked all the right questions and had clear, thoughtful answers to ours.

Every success story has its humble beginnings, and mine was no different. My entry into wedding planning kicked off in a hospitality business management class, where an offer from my professor led me to the world of wedding catering and bartending. This experience sparked a passion for event design, starting with small events and naturally progressing to weddings, where I found my true calling in creating unforgettable celebrations. What started as a one-woman show has blossomed into a badass team, dedicated to ditching the conventional and embracing, well, everything that you stand for as a couple.

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could give one piece of advice for your wedding planning, it would be to hire Tosha! I couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner. Over the past year, she was a kind and calming presence. We hired her for both design and coordination, and my only regret is not finding her sooner. She took my vision and created something even more beautiful than I could have imagined. From dealing with vendor issues and anxiety to navigating life events and mini breakdowns, Tosha was there every step of the way. Our regular check-ins made the planning process much more manageable and enjoyable. After each meeting, I thought, “Wow, I’m so glad I found her!” Our actual wedding day was the least stressful part, which to me, is a testimony of how incredible of a wedding planner Tosha truly is. She perfectly managed the timeline, handled venue challenges, and made the day truly wonderful. I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with her and cannot recommend her enough.

Based out of Seattle, Washington, Prologue Events is a team of wedding planners who love getting to know each of thier clients and creating a day that speaks to them. Owner and lead creative, Philadelphia has spent over 12 years in the wedding planning industry. She first began her journey at University as she studied a minor in event planning. From there she has worked in the event industry for over 12 years planning large 1000 person events, galas, bar/bat mitzvahs, and hundreds of weddings. Whether you need full, partial, or day-of assistance, Philadelphia is more than happy to help.

Awarded Best of Zola
Philly, the owner of Prologue Events, is exactly the wedding planner/coordinator/florist/friend you need in your life. She does it all, which is very convenient so you don't have to communicate with a bunch of different vendors. For us, she worked on our Chinese/Tea Ceremony day and Western Ceremony day. She has lots of experience working with cultural weddings and is familiar with many traditional customs. Early on, she created a mood board for floral arrangements and tablescape, which made it easy to trust and align with her. From beginning to end, she made the 1 year we spent wedding planning sane and somewhat enjoyable. She broke down tasks for us, allowing us to focus on one task at a time, and gave us lots of vendor suggestions to choose from. Philly REALLY shined on our wedding weekend, which was 3 days. She constantly checked in on us, made sure we had breaks, set up every detail of the venue, patiently worked with our large hectic families, and packed up all of our belongings for us at the end of the night. She even took a bunch of behind-the-scene footages since we didn't carry our phones. We trusted Philly in executing and she delivered! She allowed us to enjoy our wedding and took on a lot of the logistical stress. If you don't want to stress from the chaos of wedding planning and you want someone to tell you when you're veering off, don't hesitate to hire Philly!!!

RomantiqMoments was born from our shared passion for love stories and beautifully planned celebrations. Having both gone through the journey of planning our own weddings, we understand both the excitement and the stress that comes with wedding planning. We think being able to craft these cherished moments for couples is an honor. For us, planning is second nature—there’s something incredibly fulfilling about bringing every detail together. It’s just like completing a perfect puzzle. Our goal is to make the journey joyful and seamless, so you can focus on creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Romantiq Moments was an exceptional wedding planning team to work with. Their communication style was thorough, kind, prudent, and timely, though at times a bit repetitive. The quality of their work and value they provided was truly outstanding - they were proactive, vigilant, caring, and intentional every step of the way. On our wedding day, they ensured the bride was comfortable and had her physical needs met despite some hot weather. They also expertly managed the decor to align as closely as possible with our vision, and addressed any issues that arose. While a few of our other vendors reported some confusion related to Romantiq Moments' communication, we found them to be an invaluable partner in making our wedding day everything we had dreamed of. We highly recommend their services.

Hi. My name is Eva, great to meet you! Thinking of trusting me with planning your event? Here is a little about me. I am a Vashon Island native, former Chicago dweller and currently live with my husband and two wild boys in West Seattle. I have 10 years of experience of planning + managing gatherings for as little as 20 and as many as 500. From intimate benefactor dinners to elegant fundraisers to festive and modern weddings, I have been involved in just about every aspect of an event that you can think of.

Eva was an absolute joy to work with. We had the most amazing experience at our wedding and it’s thanks to her and her team. We opted for her mid tier plan where she took over three months before the wedding. She coordinated with our vendors and made our day run smoothly. Everything was seamless and detail oriented. She crafted a gorgeous layout— bringing our dream of a forest floor/dark academia inspired wedding to life. She did our layouts, met with vendors, helped us choose our plate settings, and kept us on track when booking vendors throughout the year. We cannot express how “worth it” it is to have a wedding planner like Eva.

Kiira is a super star! She has very calm energy, worked very hard the day of our wedding, and was a delight to work with. We hired her for our day of coordination and she gave us a great document set to help us with our planning. I appreciated the monthly calls with her the few months leading up to the wedding to make sure we were on track. She set up our reception just the way I envisioned and it let me relax with my mom and bridesmaids on our wedding day. I loved that Kiira has a small inventory of items that we could borrow so we didn’t have to buy things (votives, picture frames, fun neon sign) just for one day but that could help elevate our wedding. I would 100% use Evergreen Event Co again and have already recommended her to another bride.

My name is Claridel, also known as Claire. I started using my nickname Claire my freshmen year of college in hopes that it would help my self-confidence shine.

[TLDR: Trust me when I say the dynamic duo of Candice & Christopher cannot be matched. If you've found your way here to their page, do yourselves a favor and book them. You will be so happy you did.] Candice and Christopher are hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. I can't imagine having gone through that experience without them. They are the definition of what it means to go above and beyond. We booked them for our wedding on San Juan Island in July 2022. There are thousands of things we could list here on why we'd choose Candice & Christopher over and over again, but here are just a few that scratch the surface. Going above & beyond for us: Our venue was a new location for Candice and Christopher. It was also huge, complicated, and it was on an island. They happily booked a trip up to the island months before our wedding date to visit the venue and learn the in's and out's before the big day. They also had to get certified to drive the golf carts at the venue. Yet again, they happily signed up for and took a golf cart training for us. These are just two examples of so many where Candice & Christopher far surpassed our expectations and found opportunities to make the extra effort to ensure our day was perfect. Advocating for us: They joined all our phone calls with vendors in the months before the wedding. When one of our vendors changed their tune on a previous agreement, Candice & Christopher spoke up to advocate for us in a way that was super collaborative with everyone involved and secured what we needed from that vendor. When grey area arose, they jumped in to create clarity and made sure all the details were sorted. Supporting us: My first steps to the aisle were down 2 small steps. As I started to walk my dress got caught under my shoes and I would've ate it if Christopher hadn't somehow appeared next to me to stealthily help me catch my balance. From miraculous physical support like this to being our all-around cheerleaders through the process, we felt incredibly supported throughout. The two of them teamed up to cover all the details of our massive (and rather particular) venue. I couldn't imagine a better team behind us to tackle that with what looked like ease and joy. I think that's something that sets them apart, the genuine joy they seem to get by creating a magical experience for an occasion they have so much love for. I have a memory of Candice smiling and grooving to the beat at the end of the night while helping wipe down a table. They truly love what they do. Trust me when I say the dynamic duo of Candice & Christopher cannot be matched. If you've found your way here to their page, do yourselves a favor and book them. You will be so happy you did.

YPB was simply the single-best decision we could have made for our wedding. Our planner, Katelyn Evans, EXCELLED at: (1) Coordinating and managing our vendors, both local and not-at-all local (2) Understanding our vision and transforming it into reality (3) Navigating the complexities of a South Asian wedding (along with the specific needs for our families) Early on in our wedding planning journey, we got quickly overwhelmed, especially because we were not nearby to our wedding destination. Katelyn hit the ground running with us from day one. She was our boots on the ground, meeting with vendors in person when needed and was an expert in keeping things moving no matter what the action item was, big or small. A few particular difficulties that Katelyn navigated expertly: (1) We struggled to pull together the decor based off our wedding vision. Katelyn realized that one decor vendor was not meeting our needs and worked overtime to pull together an order sheet that pulled decor from multiple vendors that matched our vision perfectly AND cut our decor costs by half. (2) Katelyn accommodated our parents needs down to even the smallest requests, like making sweets available to guests at auspicious moments during the wedding weekend and even helping coordinate dinners outside of the wedding itself. (3) Katelyn pulled together last-minute needs during the wedding weekend without a sweat, such as setting up umbrellas to provide shade during the wedding ceremony or last-minute hotel room booking adjustments. The result was a multi-day South Asian wedding that was even better in real life than we could have dreamed of. Our guests LOVED (1) the decor, (2) the food, and (3) how organized and thoughtful each event was. Throughout the entire wedding journey, Katelyn remained extremely receptive to changes, incredibly attentive to detail, and our biggest friend and advocate. We absolutely could not have had a wedding as sophisticated and beautiful without Katelyn Evans and the YPB crew! - Shishir & Priya

If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is equal parts calm, brilliant, kind, organized, and downright magical — look no further than Ashley. From the moment we started planning, Ashley saved us both time and money in ways we didn’t even know were possible. She sourced incredible vendors within our budget, presented thoughtful options that actually aligned with our vision, and somehow managed to keep track of every tiny detail along the way. Her resourcefulness alone paid for itself ten times over. Ashley also had the unique ability to navigate and balance our very different planning styles — my Type A tendencies and my husband’s more last-minute approach — with so much grace, humor, and patience. We often joked that we wished we could keep her in our lives forever to make all our daily decisions, because she made everything feel lighter and easier. There were a couple moments when certain vendors didn’t follow through according to their contracts, and Ashley stepped in immediately, handled everything professionally, and made sure nothing fell through the cracks. She was our advocate in every sense. Her attention to detail was unparalleled. She monitored the weather for weeks leading up to the big day, and she was absolutely right — though it was gorgeous, the wind changed several elements of our ceremony and décor. Because she anticipated it, planned for it, and had contingencies ready, everything went more smoothly than it ever could have without her preparation. She also helped coordinate the other events throughout our wedding weekend, making each one feel special and seamless. Even the bathroom baskets she curated for guests were thoughtful and beautifully done. Every single guest has told us how wonderful the wedding and the entire experience felt — and we couldn’t agree more. Weddings will always have at least some chaos, but with Ashley by our side we were protected from most of it, and we remained calm even in the moments that could have easily unraveled. She was truly one of the main reasons everyone had such an incredible time. We are endlessly grateful for her, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Hiring Ashley was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.
