ABOUT US
learn more about us!
We have three strong passions: Events, Traveling & Photography. Our Founder and Lead Planner, Talia Gonzalez, has traveled to 34 countries and adapts her design style from each culture. She has planned and designed weddings in California, Las Vegas, and Vietnam! Born and raised in Sacramento, she attended college in Las Vegas at UNLV. She studied abroad in Madrid in 2016, traveled around Europe, then spent 7 months of 2019 traveling & working around the world.
Talia takes photos of everything around her: people she meets, foods she eats, and new places she travels to. She loves capturing just the right moment! Her life motto is: Travel Frequently & Love Passionately.
We always have a team on wedding day to make sure everything is taken care of. We strive for a unique style paired with perfect execution. We want to make this special day as gorgeous and stress-free as possible!
OUR BRAND PILLARS
travel
Traveling the world and exploring new places is what drives us. We LOVE destination weddings, elopements, and events. We offer full travel planning as well!
diversity
We believe strongly that love comes in every shape, size, color, and orientation. And we're here to celebrate all of it! There is no cookie cutter couple, we want to celebrate what makes you an your partner unique and special.
women empowerment
Who runs the world? GIRLS! We are here for Women Empowerment. As a minority female owned business, we make it our mission to inspire community over competition in our industry, and strive to work with as many woman-owned businesses as possible.
design + customer service
Our passion truly lies in the design of your wedding. We want your special day to be as beautiful as it is personal to you and your partner. Whether you love the boho, modern, or classically romantic style, or even a mix of everything- we are here to make your dream vision come to life, even more elevated!

First look or Bride walking down the aisle, I love watching the couple's reaction to seeing each other for the first time on their wedding day.
WE LOVE QUESTIONS
DO WE TRAVEL?
Yes! We have offices in Sacramento and San Diego, California but will travel anywhere you desire.
We love the challenge of new locations and coordinating all the logistics that come with them.
DO I NEED A COORDINATOR IF MY VENUE PROVIDES ONE?
Yes! Venue coordinators are responsible for handling anything to do with the venue on your special day. This includes making sure the lights are on, sound is working, parking is taken care of...but they are not responsible for wrangling bridesmaids, keeping vendors on time, or bringing the design together. Among other things, that's what we are here for!
HOW DOES YOUR PRICING WORK?
We price a bit differently than other planners. We estimate the total hours necessary to execute the event and then charge an hourly rate. This keeps our contracts flexible and allows you to choose what you want to tackle on your own. We can always take away or add hours as needed throughout the process. Generally speaking, our special event planning rates begin around $2,500, wedding management rates begin around $3,500, and full service planning starts around $6,500, and there are lots of ranges and options in between.
HOW CAN I RECEIVE AN ESTIMATE?
Let's chat! Please schedule a discovery call with us HERE. It will take about 30-45 minutes for us to gather all the information we need to send over an initial quote. We can always discuss and adjust as needed. We want to get to know YOU and your specific needs for your event, not lump you into a set package.
