Professional, detail-oriented and a problem-solver
Kaiya Smith Events was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication style was thorough, frequent, and professional. As a team of problem solvers who are incredibly detail-oriented and rigorous, they were instrumental in the success of our special day. Kaiya and her team's day-of coordination and vendor wrangling prior to the event ensured everything ran seamlessly. I would 100% recommend working with Kaiya Smith Events for your wedding or event. She was kind and professional from start to finish, and her deep knowledge of the Bay Area wedding industry made her an invaluable resource on our team. We couldn't have imagined working with anybody else for our wedding!
Flawless and Stress Free Planning and Coordination
We just had our wedding on August 9th, 2025 and from the first day we met with Kaiya we felt like we had a huge weight lifted from our shoulders. She helped us organize and prioritize our timeline, vendors, and must-haves for our weekend. From flowers, to DJ, to cake, and so much more she handled the coordination perfectly. We felt cool, calm, and relaxed to enjoy our special day. We couldn't have pulled it off without her and with our sanity intact. Thanks so much, Kaiya, you crushed it and we can't recommend you enough :)
Great choice!
Kaiya was the PERFECT day-of coordinator for my client's wedding! The minute I met her in person you can tell she is seasoned in this industry and can think quickly on her feet with new information being presented to her. She is extremely professional, and very sweet and kept that same energy throughout the entirety of the wedding day. Your ideal day-of coordinator not only takes care of the little details, but helps runs a smooth timeline, communicates effectively with vendors during a short time frame, and adjusts/pivots as things arise, and that is exactly what Kaiya did and THEN some. I could not recommend Kaiya enough! You and your special day will be in more than great hands with her on your team!
Kaiya is great!
I had the pleasure of working with Kaiya as our day-of wedding coordinator, and I couldn't have been more impressed. Despite being relatively new to the field, Kaiya showcased professionalism and dedication that rivaled seasoned professionals. From our initial consultation, Kaiya made me feel at ease, listening attentively to my vision and concerns. She was incredibly organized, ensuring every detail was accounted for, and her communication throughout the planning process was impeccable. On the wedding day, Kaiya was a calming presence, handling last- minute changes and unexpected issues with grace and efficiency. Her ability to coordinate with vendors, manage the timeline, and keep everything running smoothly allowed us to fully enjoy our special day without any stress. Kaiya exceeded our expectations, and I highly recommend her services to any couple looking for a reliable and passionate wedding coordinator.
