Choosing the right Wedding Planner is one of the most essential parts of planning your wedding. With the right wedding planner you are saving yourself time, money and stress and potentially having the wedding of your dreams created without much effort on your part. We have worked with a number of wedding planners in the Bay Area. We have spoken to a number of brides and grooms about their experience with their planners and gathered a ton of information from couples and what they had to say about their planners. We have also worked alongside these planners and know they have the experience and the know how to plan the event of your dreams. Having a wedding planner is one of the most essential parts of having a wedding. Here are our top 5 incredible wedding planners in the industry that we love and admire.

5. Blue Daphne Events
We have been working with Blue Daphne Events since the start of our career years ago! We recently got to do an incredible styled shoot at the Lyford House in Marin and let us tell you, Kandis did an extraordinary job. We have watched the evolution and amazing event designs come out of this boutique biz for a long time and we are never not swept away by what is created! Kandis has been such a fabulous planner to work with especially because she can knock your socks off with her incredible floral designs. She is kind of a magician to creating arrangements that can flip a wedding venue into something out of a fairytale. We love Kandis and her sweet nature in making everyone feel comfortable. She is darling and we adore her.
