Lavender Crown

the best part of any wedding is when the couple has a moment to themselves to really enjoy the fact that they're married - we highly recommend adding a few minutes alone to your timeline!

this is us, michelle and hannah (at hannah's recent wedding!!) - your friendly neighborhood planners, event managers, marketers, and all of the other various hats that we wear. we love being a local, women-owned business amongst the corporate heart of silicon valley and have enjoyed planning and coordinating weddings in the bay area and beyond for five years - as "lavender crown", anyway.

we're so honored to have such incredible clients and we truly love the work that we do.

do you have any questions for us? let us know in the comments!

last month we had the pleasure of canine-coordinating for e&j's wedding! we loved getting to take care of their pup, zuko, so that they could enjoy their night without having to worry about who to put in charge of him.

we created this service for the paw-rents who want to include their dog in their wedding day but also want to be able to party the night away without having to check in on their pup. if this is something that you're interested in, we'd love to help! click the link in our bio to learn more about our dog handling services and what all that entails.

it’s truly an honor to be able to be a part of so many beautiful ceremonies. each is a bit different from the ones before, but they all have one thing in common: love. it’s such a heartwarming thing for us to witness so often.

if you’re looking for help with the wedding portion of your love story, we’d love to help! 😉 click the link in our bio to learn more about how we can assist you through your wedding planning journey!

listen. is the wedding planner accurate to our experience? no. we can proudly say we're not interested in stealing away any grooms. is it still a fun movie? sure. are there good life lessons? well, take this quote as an example!

it's true. love, like life, isn't always perfect, especially while wedding planning! it's easy to get caught up in the stress and excitement of planning and forget to enjoy the engagement season - consider this a reminder!

if you're looking for some help taking on the stress of planning the big day, we'd love to be a part of your journey. we have packages from managing the day-of all the way to full planning. click the link in our bio to see our offerings and learn more about how we can help you!

using polaroids for the guestbook is one of our favorite ways for guests to enjoy the cocktail hour. has it been done at a myriad of weddings before? sure. but do guests get excited every single time? you bet!!

we wanted to highlight this review from some of our lovely clients!

we loved being able to take on the stresses and worries of their day so that they could simply enjoy being married. even more fun was learning about their Latin and Jewish traditions that they chose to incorporate and digging deep into the meanings behind them! we may not always be familiar with certain traditions, but we pride ourselves on our dedication to learn all about them.

thank you, m&d!

we're so lucky to have so many gorgeous venues right here in the bay area 😍

are you looking to hire not-so-common vendors for your wedding?

string duos/trios/quartets (they're more on the common side, but we don't see them very often anymore!), magicians, live painters, you name it - if you want to incorporate them into your wedding, we can make it happen... and we can help you find the right fit for your event!

what unique vendor would/did you include in your wedding? let us know in the comments!

we LOVE planning and coordinating for our clients; it's so gratifying to be able to allow our couples to relax and enjoy their wedding day by taking on the management of the day, from making sure we're following the timeline to directing vendors, from setting up to cleaning up at the end of the night.

curious about the basics of planning a wedding?

we tried to make it as simple as possible! planning a wedding is quite the task to take on, whether for yourself or someone else, and it can be difficult to know where to even start.

is there a lot more that goes into it? absolutely! is this a comprehensive list? definitely not! is this a good starting point? we think so. 😉

and hey, if you're looking for a team to help you with this, we'd love to chat and see if we're a good fit! visit the link in our bio to learn more about what we offer and get in touch.

one of our favorite parts about weddings is the personal details. what little details will/did you include in your wedding? let us know in the comments!
