Flawless and Stress Free Planning and Coordination

We just had our wedding on August 9th, 2025 and from the first day we met with Kaiya we felt like we had a huge weight lifted from our shoulders. She helped us organize and prioritize our timeline, vendors, and must-haves for our weekend. From flowers, to DJ, to cake, and so much more she handled the coordination perfectly. We felt cool, calm, and relaxed to enjoy our special day. We couldn't have pulled it off without her and with our sanity intact. Thanks so much, Kaiya, you crushed it and we can't recommend you enough :)
Great choice!

Kaiya was the PERFECT day-of coordinator for my client's wedding! The minute I met her in person you can tell she is seasoned in this industry and can think quickly on her feet with new information being presented to her. She is extremely professional, and very sweet and kept that same energy throughout the entirety of the wedding day. Your ideal day-of coordinator not only takes care of the little details, but helps runs a smooth timeline, communicates effectively with vendors during a short time frame, and adjusts/pivots as things arise, and that is exactly what Kaiya did and THEN some. I could not recommend Kaiya enough! You and your special day will be in more than great hands with her on your team!
Kaiya is great!

I had the pleasure of working with Kaiya as our day-of wedding coordinator, and I couldn't have been more impressed. Despite being relatively new to the field, Kaiya showcased professionalism and dedication that rivaled seasoned professionals. From our initial consultation, Kaiya made me feel at ease, listening attentively to my vision and concerns. She was incredibly organized, ensuring every detail was accounted for, and her communication throughout the planning process was impeccable. On the wedding day, Kaiya was a calming presence, handling last- minute changes and unexpected issues with grace and efficiency. Her ability to coordinate with vendors, manage the timeline, and keep everything running smoothly allowed us to fully enjoy our special day without any stress. Kaiya exceeded our expectations, and I highly recommend her services to any couple looking for a reliable and passionate wedding coordinator.
Outstanding!

For full service planning, we recommend booking 12–18 months in advance. For partial planning 6-9 months in advance. For day-of coordination, at least 2–3 months before your wedding is ideal.

A wedding planner helps you with the entire planning process—budgeting, design, timelines, vendors, and more. A day-of coordinator steps in closer to your date to manage logistics and make sure everything runs smoothly on the wedding day.

Start by reaching out through our contact form or booking a consultation. We’ll chat about your vision, needs, and how we can help bring your dream wedding to life.

Yes! While weddings are our specialty, Kaiya Smith Events also plans a variety of celebrations including corporate events, baby showers, rehearsal dinners, farewell brunches, birthdays, and more. If it’s worth celebrating, we’d love to help you make it unforgettable.

Yes, we offer payment plans to make investing in your wedding planning more manageable. A deposit is required to secure your date, and the remaining balance can be paid in installments leading up to the event.

Montage Healdsburg, Santa Lucia Preserve, Rosewood Sandhill, Bear Flag Farm, Silverado, Pebble Beach, Carmel Valley Ranch, Cavallo Point, The University Club SF and many more.
