D. Perkins Events 

5.0

  • Offers 6 services
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Arcata, CA

​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.

Hi, I’m Athena! As a wedding planner and event coordinator based in Northern CA, I specialize in creating seamless and memorable celebrations. With years of experience in the industry and a background in design consulting, I focus on bringing my clients’ unique visions to life while ensuring a stress-free planning experience. Whether you're dreaming of an intimate gathering or a grand affair, I’m here to guide you every step of the way—from vendor coordination to timeline creation and all the little details in between. My goal is to make the planning process enjoyable and to craft an event that truly reflects you.

My sister hired Athena to plan and coordinate her wedding, and our family absolutely loved her! From the very beginning, Athena provided constant support and guidance. Without her, my sister's day would have been chaotic—especially since it was a backyard wedding with limited vendors. Athena made sure everything ran smoothly, from keeping all the helpers on track to ensuring that all our guests were happy. She truly took care of the entire family, allowing us to enjoy the day without worrying about the details. Thanks, Athena, for bringing my sister and now brother’s wedding day to life!

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.

Dana, Tara, and the entire Thyme and Details team are nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, their exceptional management skills, attentive listening, and dedication turned what we thought was impossible into a seamless, unforgettable reality for our September wedding. Their full-service planning is worth every penny—and more.

They didn’t just meet our expectations; they exceeded them with thoughtful touches and moments of surprise and delight throughout the year-long process. One of the standout aspects was their vendor recommendations. They guided us toward partners who perfectly matched the theme and energy we envisioned for our day, elevating the entire experience. When a major hurdle arose with the delivery timing of some rentals, Dana went above and beyond, advocating fiercely to ensure everything worked out perfectly. Her determination and professionalism made all the difference in what could have been a stressful situation. Thanks to their experience, tools, patience, and boundless endurance, planning became not only manageable but enjoyable. They gifted us a day filled with joy, celebration, and memories we’ll treasure forever. If we could relive the process, we would—and we would choose Thyme and Details every single time.

We can't say enough good things about Rose Event Company! Planning a wedding is never easy, but doing it in just 4 months, from across the country, and in a remote area with limited vendors seemed impossible—until we found Ashley.

Every single detail was meticulously executed, and we received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and seamless everything was. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, patient, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect, look no further than Ashley.

The CDE squad has planned intimate affairs for 10 guests to more elaborate weddings for 500 guests.

Awarded Best of Zola
Calmerin was the best investment we made for our wedding, hands down!!! Glennie and Ashton were incredible from the start to finish. We knew from the very first phone call that they were going to 100% on top of it, and we were right! The organization and detail of this team is top-notch. We hired them for Jade Package, which is similar to day-of-coordination (which is really more month-of), and was super important given our majority DIY wedding with 170 guests. Plus, Glennie and Ashton were such lovely, kind, and genuine people!! While the bulk of the details and communication was in the month leading up to our wedding, we had access to all of the planning docs as soon as we sent our deposit. The planning docs are AMAZING and so detailed, making us feel like we could transfer all of our knowledge/plans/thoughts to them. This was really important for us since we were doing the majority of the planning, and they executed phenomenally. We were also able to ask them for questions, such as a DJ recommendation. Glennie and Ashton were fantastic during the thorough venue walk-through, video calls, rehearsal with our wedding party, and on the day-of. We were able to drop off all of our wedding stuff (2 SUVs full) the morning of with set-up directions, and we showed up and it looked better than we had imagined/planned for! The tight set-up window from our venue was stressful, but Glennie and Ashton made sure everything was ready to go. They were so great at communicating with our vendors (we got many compliments!) They only texted us 1 small question the day-of, knowing that we were stressed and busy. They were AMAZING throughout the whole night, making sure we were on schedule and that we had everything we needed. We could go on and on about how amazing the team was and how happy we are that we worked with them. Best decision, book them before their calendars fill!

I cannot say enough incredible things about Erin. Above and beyond does not begin to cover it! Look no further for any of your wedding planning needs. We hired Erin for our month of coordinator almost 2 years in advance. From the beginning, she was very responsive, informative, kind, and helpful. I am pretty organized, and she consistently thought of questions I didn't! I was very impressed with her demeanor with myself and the rest of our vendors. Our venue required a pre-approved coordinator, and Erin took the steps to contact them to make sure she would work out, and we are so glad she did! She did everything she said she would and then some. She reached out to all of our vendors, worked with us on our timeline (many times!), attended our rehearsal, and never got frustrated even when we had a lot going on. Erin felt more like a friend than a coordinator, and we are so happy we got to spend our special day with her. Our day went so smoothly from start to finish, and we know this is due to Erin's impeccable attention to detail. If you are looking to have an incredible day with a crisp timeline and no stress - Erin is your gal!

I cannot recommend Niamh Zwagerman, Owner and Lead Planner of Sweetie Pie Weddings, highly enough! From the moment we connected with her, we knew we had found someone truly special. Initially, we only needed help structuring the wedding processional, as we had already found most of our vendors on our own. However, Niamh went far beyond our expectations. Her attention to detail and proactive approach were incredible. She reached out to all our vendors, ensuring that every element of our day was perfectly coordinated. Niamh addressed questions we hadn't even thought to ask, and everything was timed flawlessly. When we encountered an unexpected issue with the bridal changing area at the church just the night before our wedding, Niamh worked her magic and transformed the space into a stunning bridal suite. Thanks to her, my bride felt like a queen on her special day. Niamh truly made our wedding complete and perfect. Her dedication, creativity, and kindness shone through every step of the way.

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.

Our team of event planners even plan in Southern California or other States and Countries. We will travel as far as you need us to in order to ensure your wedding day is everything you hoped for.

The most standout experience with Tara, taking it above and beyond! She saw there was a slight chance of rain about 48 hours before the wedding ceremony, and contacted me about alternatives for live piano singing. Lo and behold, it did rain! We were able to pre-record the piano songs, and sing under an awning with wireless mics. None of this would have been fully prepared if Tara hadn't been so thoughtful about every aspect of the planning process. A truly wonderful experience. Thank you Tara!
