Kaci Danae Events 

5.0

San Jose, CA
  • Planner
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $500

I’ve always been inspired by the strong, ambitious women in my life who built successful small businesses in the hospitality industry — from restaurant owners and bakers to caterers and florists. Growing up surrounded by their entrepreneurial spirit, I was motivated to follow my own path and create something meaningful in the world of events. ​ After spending two years working as a Wedding Coordinator at the Westin, the pandemic hit and forced a pause on hotel weddings. That unexpected turn of events only fueled my determination to turn my passion into a full-time business. And so, Kaci Danae Events was born.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Kaci was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Her communication style was professional yet easygoing, and she was always responsive and easy to reach. The quality of her work was outstanding—she stayed on schedule, communicated clearly, and maintained a very professional demeanor throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, she seamlessly followed the schedule. I would highly recommend Kaci Danae Events to any couple looking for a wedding planner they can trust.

I wanted to get Glam-Up for my best friend's birthday. Lauren responded super quickly after I submitted the request on her Instagram. I don't usually wear makeup and I didn't know exactly what I wanted so we discussed what type of makeup style and products that would look best and be the most compatible with my skin, hair, and outfit. She is very easy and so much fun to talk with and is very knowledgeable. She listened to what I roughly wanted and offered her advice in a considerate manner. On the day of the appointment, she was on time and kept to the schedule. She was incredibly professional, efficient, and accommodating. Everyone LOVED the result. I was OBSESSED with the look that she created. I got endless compliments on my look and people were constantly asking who the artist was.

We booked BNG Worldwide Chauffeur Services for our wedding in San Jose, and they truly exceeded our expectations. From the first inquiry to the final drop-off, their communication was clear, professional, and responsive. We had an Executive Sprinter Van for the bridal party and a black SUV for family members. Both vehicles arrived early, spotless inside and out, and the chauffeurs were dressed professionally and extremely courteous. Our driver for the Sprinter (I believe his name was Sam) was especially great—he helped the bridal party in and out, managed time perfectly, and even had water bottles ready in the van. What stood out most was how stress-free they made the whole experience. They coordinated directly with our wedding planner for timing and route changes, which took a huge load off our shoulders. If you’re planning a wedding in the Bay Area—especially around San Jose, San Francisco, or Oakland—I’d strongly recommend BNG. They know how to handle weddings and treat everyone like a VIP.

We wanted to have a live performer that was unique and would exemplify elegance and romance and we got exactly that. We were debating between a violinist or saxophone and I am so happy we went with saxophone. I came across Mike on Wessing Wire and went on his page and YouTube and was amazed. When I emailed he responded quickly which helped us make our decision fast. He was friendly and informative and had his master list available for us. You can also provide him a list of music you want. All my guests raved about him and his music. I had him perform for processional and cocktail hour.
