California and Destination Wedding Planner
Where seamless planning makes unforgettable weddings feel effortless
(because stress isn't on the guest list)
We're all about turning your dream day into a "yes! That's SO us" kind of celebration
San Francisco • Napa • Carmel • Beyond
With over a decade of industry experience (and a love for love that literally keeps me texting clients back at 3am), I help couples in California and across the globe, plan events that are effortlessly organized, aesthetically stunning and deeply personal.
We love curating multicultural, non-cookie-cutter, joy-filled celebrations that reflect who you are as a couple.
Let's create something beautiful
And yes, we’re just as obsessed with the floor plan, those wow-worthy design details, and a perfectly placed champagne tower as we are with your guest experience. From big-picture dreaming to day-of logistics, we keep you grounded and totally in the moment so you can enjoy every single second of your special day.
For clients planning birthdays, anniversaries, or galas with flair.
Social Event Planning
For couples who’ve planned it all but need flawless execution.
Wedding Coordination
For couples who’ve started the process but want expert support.
Partial Planning
For couples dreaming of a luxury celebration from the ground up.
Full Service Planning
Whether you’re hosting an elegant soirèe in San Francisco or a dreamy destination affair, we guide you every step of the way. With warmth, professionalism, and a touch of joy in every detail. Because planning your wedding should feel as memorable as the day itself.
Planning services you can trust, with a vibe you'll love
Weddings, social soirées, and everything in between
After more than a decade immersed in the events industry, I created Perfectly Planned Events to offer couples a planning experience that feels thoughtful, personalized, and (dare I say?) enjoyable.
I’m known for making the details feel like second nature, for keeping it real (no sugarcoating here), and for treating your event like it’s my own. If we end up texting memes and crying over your first look pics? That’s just part of the magic.
Bay Area and Destination wedding planner who lives for love stories, late-night vendor calls, and that teary moment when you walk down the aisle.

“From the start, Yvonne brought a level of organization and experience that made the whole process feel manageable and exciting. With her help, we molded and crystalized our vision and made the day feel genuinely us—never cookie-cutter.And on the big day, we didn’t have to think about logistics—we just soaked it all in.”
"She made the entire process feel so exciting"
_ Leena Yin
“From our very first conversation, she made us feel comfortable, never judged, and helped us shape our vision without pressure. She made sure every vendor communication was smooth and stress-free. She was calm, competent, and so clearly invested in our day and our relationship. We would 100% hire her again—no question, no notes.”
“We felt so supported, like we’d found the perfect fit”
_ Wendy Bailey
“Since we were hosting our daughter’s wedding in San Francisco while living out of town, we were worried about the logistics—but Yvonne made it all flawless. She responded to calls and emails right away. The week of the wedding went off without a hitch (if there were any problems, I never knew!), and the entire day ran smoothly. When my other daughter gets married, Yvonne will be the first call I make.”
“I always felt like her only client”
