D. Perkins Events

​D. Perkins Events will craft a celebration that’s uniquely yours, focusing on the details that matter most to you. Whether your dream day is set among the towering redwoods, beside the ocean, in a charming barn, or even on a picturesque cannabis farm, the Lost Coast offers endless stunning backdrops to make your wedding unforgettable. We’ll bring your vision to life in a setting as special as your love.

We will prefix this review with 1) we engaged to work with Datso 5-6 months before a 50 person Fort Bragg garden wedding in April, organised 100% from Singapore and 2) our big day was a second wedding to both the Bride and the Groom, so we knew the things that mattered to us and what we wanted the planning and day to be in terms of experience. Beauty and ease were major priorities, I (the bride) wanted the day to be gorgeous, but within a specific budget, and we both did not want to stress about anything, as we were arranging things out of country and timezone. We are so lucky that we managed to find Datso (and the team she works with) for our wedding. We found her online and decided to go with her after just one call (we also spoke to a few local vendors, many of them were totally out of our price range but also many were not as generous with advice and pointers as she was in that intro call). Datso proved to be incredibly human, knowledgeable, and reassuring throughout the entire planning process, accommodating us many times over with the time difference, meetings, requests and 'ideas' that had to be conveyed just over the phone or via pictures. It was a risk for us and we didn't "know" what the day was going to turn out like but she kept us well informed during the process and was positive but reasonable in the guidance she gave us. She was respectful with our budget and never pushy. She was also informative and positive but never disingenuous, she remained incredibly human and acted with integrity from start to finish. But the proof is in the pudding, and finally the day came. I cant convey how just perfect our day turned out. She truly "got" us, the whole brief: flowers, local produce, music style (and band), the look, the feel, dinner menu and layout, the photographer style (and cost!)... she just 'got' us with all her vendor recommendations and understood that we wanted a GORGEOUS but heartfelt, warm and fun evening with close friends and family. (She also quietly did some contingency planning, like bringing extra decorations that she thought we'd need, and things like umbrellas that we didn't plan for as it rained a bit on the day.) End to end, Datso and her team delivered a thoroughly well-managed, thoughtful day that felt and looked exactly as we had hoped. It was very special, but felt intimate and personal. Gorgeous, but not frilly. It was stress free, everything was handled, the aesthetic detail were spot on and was just what we had in our heads; she managed to translate it and make it happen for us. Weddings are hard; planners are translating dreams on a very firm budget at times, and events are hard work keeping on top of all the 'things'. But we felt we did not just get good client management and organisation, we got Datso's keen ear to understand what we really wanted, a fine eye to recognise the specificity in look or feel of the things, and her deep/wide expertise and connections in knowing who exactly could do it. We are so grateful to Datso for making the wedding we had hoped for come to life. We would recommend Datso in a heartbeat.

She was also creative and came with great tips during the planning process to help us adhere to our budget. She went above and beyond helping us decorate our venue at Elliston Vineyards and coordinating everyone and everything. I wish we had her help to plan our evening reception at another venue during the time because we had such a great time with her! One of our best memories is sitting in the back of a golf cart as Athena took us from the post-ceremony photoshoot to the cocktail hour and reminding us to stay present and we did it!

I finally decided to hire a wedding planner when I was super stressed and at my wits end with all the planning I forgot goes into a wedding. My husband and I celebrated our 10 year vow renewal so we basically had a second wedding.

I’m Ashley, the owner of Rose Event Co. I love being able to share in the love of two individuals and feel lucky to get to work with such wonderful people each day! I’ve been planning weddings and events for over eight years now, and I couldn’t be more thankful with where I am now in my business. I primarily serve the OR | WA | CA markets, but will travel anywhere!

Awarded Best of Zola
When my husband and I started our journey to plan our wedding, I knew we were going to need some help. We are non traditional, with very eclectic tastes, and we were going to need someone special to help us pull off all of our insane ideas. I extensively researched over 20 coordinators, had a phones calls with 5 different companies, but ultimately I knew Ashley from Rose Event Co. was going to be the one. From the start she personable, intelligent, and made me feel understood in what our vision was for our special day. Throughout the process she was punctual with all of our appointments, gave helpful suggestions, and made me feel confident leaving my type A personality and needs in her hands. The weekend of the wedding came, and a lot of creative problem solving as well. We rented a private mansion for our event and did the rehearsal the day before. Ashley was there early, having already communicated with my other vendors and the venue to make sure we would be prepared for our big day. What we didn't expect was the kitchen under construction, furniture and decor that had not been moved at our previous requests(but promised), rooms that we had planned for, but could no longer use, and the Venue staff not "remembering" months worth of text and phone call conversations about our needs and expectations, as well as their promises and what they were supposed to deliver. There were other issues, but I digress. Ashley immediately stepped in with ideas and to be the go between with the Venue, and to help troubleshoot the long list of problems that had now come up. The night before was stressful for my Husband and I, not knowing if we were going pull this off, but I knew with Ashley, we were in good hands. The day of she brought her A game, a stunning red dress, and handled business. She was not afraid to get involved and make sure everything we wanted happened. She listened to our needs, knew when to step up or step down, was super flexible in our timeline and made sure to handle any issues that arose during the wedding. Her ability to read a situation and adapt to the issues at hand made her the perfect fit to our crazy ideas. She has incredible creative problem solving and is kind hearted and hard working. If it wasn't for Ashley, we could not have pulled off our day. I would recommend her 10x's over, to any bride that wants an absolute badass by their side. She handles business, and gives confidence to her clients. Thank you Ashley and Rose Event Co. for turning what could have been a disaster into a day dream!

We booked Teyanna in 2022 for our August 2024 wedding and did not regret it one bit. It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Teyanna was beyond accommodating and informative throughout the entire process. Her precise, creative, and professional "client-first" mentality shone through. From countless Zoom calls to meeting up in person to select flowers, it was more than we could have asked for and were expecting. Her professionalism and creativity showed through when we had to improvise our outdoor ceremony to an indoor one thanks to a horrific tropical storm. She called us on the morning of our wedding to ensure we were doing okay and went over every detail with both my husband and me to make sure she and her team didn't miss anything. We cannot wait to work with Teyanna again in the future.

We seriously cannot say enough good things about Rogue Picnics. We feel so full of love and gratitude that Kelly and Heather were part of our wedding day. They created something straight out of a fairy tale—more beautiful and perfect than we ever could’ve dreamed up ourselves (I mean, just look at the pictures!!) From the very beginning, they made everything so easy and stress-free. They planned every little detail with so much care, picked up our flowers and decorations, grabbed the food, set everything up and took it all down afterward—then even brought extra food back to our vacation home. Can we also have a moment to admire our wedding cake? (shout-out to @the_berrybar_co) Kelly’s cake recommendation was flawless, and all our guests were fighting over the last bite. Kelly also went above and beyond when it came to fixing some issues involving our dinner order. We know that so much work went on behind the scenes, and we’re just so grateful for the love and effort they poured into it all. Kelly and Heather, you are truly some of the kindest, most thoughtful and talented people we’ve ever met. You made our celebratory dinner feel magical, intentional, and completely us. We feel so lucky we found you—and we would absolutely love to work with you again for our anniversary dinner. Thank you for making our day unforgettable.

Niamh is an absolute joy to work with. She made every part of the planning process so much easier. Planning a wedding from 2,000 miles away isn't easy but any question I had she had a quick answer for or made sure she asked someone if she didn't have an answer for me. I never worried about communication because she was on the ball the whole time. She made sure there was no stress at all during my wedding day and I was able to be present and enjoy it the entire time. I even made a comment like "shouldn't I be more stressed about something?" but there was nothing to be stressed about with Niamh taking care of everything. She took every vision I had for the day and brought it to life. On top of her impeccable abilities at wedding planning she is also the kindest, sweetest person.

Genevieve was the wedding planner of our dreams! It’s one thing to concept a vision in your mind or explain it to someone, but it’s another to see that vision executed beyond what you knew was possible. She totally understood the feeling and aesthetic we were going for, was organized to a T, came up with the sweetest details we never would have thought of, and was a stellar communicator. I didn’t think I’d be someone who would say this, but our wedding day was the best day of our lives, and Genevieve's art of wedding planning made it so.

At Michelle’s Everyday Travels, I specialize in creating unforgettable honeymoon, romantic, and luxury getaways, with a special passion for Hawaii and the islands of the South Pacific. Travel isn’t just my business; it’s my calling. There’s nothing more rewarding than helping couples plan the trip of a lifetime, whether it’s their honeymoon, anniversary, or just a well-deserved escape.

Michelle's Everyday Travels was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding planning and honeymoon. From the start, their communication was honest, informative, passionate, and detailed, they were clearly invested in making our special day perfect. The team at Michelle's Everyday Travels is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and reliable. They planned an amazing honeymoon itinerary for us in Hawaii, keeping us within our budget while ensuring we saw all the top sites and experiences. Michelle was so easy to work with, booking the best tours for sailing and snorkeling and recommending the least crowded beaches. Recommended hotels to save us money. I would absolutely use their services again and highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding and honeymoon.

I couldn't be happier with my decision to hire Traci with Bridal Besties Northwest by Traci! As an anxious bride who initially thought DIY was enough, hiring Traci last-minute was the best decision I made for my wedding. Her professionalism and knowledge felt like having a trusted friend by my side. We connected multiple times via phone, text, and Google Docs, and she patiently helped me think through every step, easing my worries with her calm expertise. On the day, Traci took charge flawlessly, handling everything so I could soak in the moment. Her detail-oriented, efficient approach ensured nothing was missed, and she went above and beyond my expectations. I’m endlessly grateful for her support—our day wouldn’t have been the same without her.

Thank you, Traci, for making our wedding seamless and unforgettable!

Christa Nicole Events 

5.0

  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Arcata, CA

My passion for events started while planning my own wedding 12 years ago. Freshly engaged and full of excitement, I was captivated by every little detail. Soon after I had family and friends asking me for help with their events, and that is when I fell in love with planning & event design. I began working for an event planning company in 2018 and built my expert knowledge and vendor relationships through years of experience with the ups and downs of the wedding industry. In 2023, I decided it was time to start my own company and dove headfirst into perfecting my planning process and building Christa Nicole Events.

Christa and team are simply the best! They made our whole day run smoothly and were super responsive in the months leading up (to both my and my mom's emails ha). She's also really respectful of budget and creative with coming up with solutions. I cannot recommend them enough!
