About Squid Inc. Social Events & Design
Sidney Phan
At Squid Inc. Social Events & Design, we have a passion for redefining traditional expectations and thrive on creating unforgettable experiences that break the mold. Every celebration is a chance to make magic, share stories, and bring people closer — beautifully, authentically, and playfully. We’re for the silly lovers. Based in San Francisco, CA, but available wherever your celebration takes you!
Meet your Planner -- Hi, I'm Sid, you're future go-to girl for all things events! What I love most about this work are the small, human moments that make life sweet — the laughter shared over a glass of wine, the quiet tears during a first look, a parent’s proud smile, or the messy happiness of a child sneaking a lick of frosting. Those tiny moments are why I do what I do. At Squid Inc. Social, I bring heart, artistry, and a steady hand to every celebration. My goal is to help you see and feel the love that’s already there — in every detail, every hug, every shared laugh, without the stress. Let's find a reason to celebrate together!
In three words: Collaborative, Creative, Fun

We loved and would highly recommend Sidney!
Squid Inc. Social was an absolute pleasure to work with! Sidney's communication was prompt, professional, and enthusiastic. They were incredibly organized and flexible, providing great suggestions and seamlessly driving the timeline to ensure our special day went off without a hitch. Sidney did a fantastic job designing our signage and table numbers, and was very responsive to any feedback we had. We're so grateful to have had the best wedding day because of the coordination!
Response from vendor•Oct 26, 2025Thank you, Alice! I had so much working with you two. Wishing you (and Boise) the best life together!Purely Good Vibes!
Sidney was amazing and we were 100% satisfied with our experience! Sidney thought outside the box and easily adapted to our nontraditional wedding vibe. She perfectly helped us achieve our vision while offering her own unique suggestions and recommendations. Some of the strengths of Sidney & Co we found were speedy communication and response, keeping us on task, providing accurate timelines, creating an open and welcoming environment, and amazing graphic design work. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone planning their next event or wedding!
Response from vendor•Oct 26, 2025Thank you so much, Dom! Working with you two was truly a blessing and the most fun I've had at a wedding. Much love!Sid makes the whole thing fun!
We brought on Sid a year before our wedding date, and brought her along for the ride from the early days of dreaming to the final push of executing. While each step varies in stress levels and number of tasks, she kept us on track - and more importantly, she kept us smiling and having fun at every stage. She helped us find the perfect vendors for everything and took care of logistics at every turn. Sid truly is a delight to work with, and was my dream partner in combining creativity and practicality. We couldn't be more grateful that we had her along for the experience!
Response from vendor•Oct 26, 2025Haley! You two are the sweetest, I am so blessed to have worked with you two. Thank you for allowing me to experience the beautiful love you two share!Groom
Sid was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, her communication style was informative, concise and clear, which was so helpful during the planning process. Sid provided us with great ideas, were extremely detailed-oriented, and had a wonderfully personable approach. She was amazing at making our special day seamless - she even helped fill an extra hour between the ceremony and reception with fun group activities and photos. We would 100% recommend her to any couple looking for an stress-free, personalized wedding experience. Sid has truly become a friend through this entire journey.
