From full-service planning to day-of coordination, you decide how involved we are. Not sure which fits? Tell us about your event and we will recommend the right one.

01

Full Planning

We take the celebration from first idea to final cleanup: design, vendor sourcing, timeline, guest experience, and event-day execution.

Best for: hosts who want one team responsible for the whole experience.

02

Partial Planning

You have started. We bring the structure, the expertise, and the execution, and take over the complex parts to carry it home.

Best for: clients who have made some decisions but want a pro on the hard parts.

03

Design & Styling

You have the plan. We make the room extraordinary: concept, styling, florals, rentals, and onsite setup.

Best for: clients who need visual direction and a beautifully finished space.

04

Day-of Coordination

Your plans, professionally run. We manage the timeline and the vendors so the day unfolds without you working it.

Best for: clients comfortable planning who want a pro running the day.

What We Plan

Every kind of celebration.

Whatever you are marking, at any of the levels above. Explore the ones we are known for.

Category 01

Weddings

From the proposal to the last dance, every step of the celebration.

Celebrations

The milestones that mark a life, marked properly.

Every celebration is built around the guest of honor and set up so you never touch a table. We source the cake, the florals, and the rentals, style the room, and run the day, then clear it all after.

Cultural Traditions

The ceremonies that carry meaning across generations, run correctly and in your language.

Tea ceremonies, pyebaek, dol, and the rituals that carry meaning across generations, run correctly and, when you want it, in your family's language. We coordinate the ceremony elements, the attire, and the vendors who understand them, so nothing feels improvised.

Questions

Good to know.

What kinds of events do you take on?+

From an intimate birthday to a full wedding, plus cultural ceremonies, corporate events, and seasonal celebrations. If it is a moment worth marking, we can plan it.

Do you handle traditional ceremonies?+

Yes, and it is one of our strengths. Chinese and Korean ceremonies including the tea ceremony, pyebaek, dol, and hwangap are handled correctly, with respect for the customs that give the day its meaning, and when you need it, in Mandarin, Cantonese, or Korean.

How does pricing work?+

Every event is quoted to itself. Because the cost depends on your budget, your guest count, and what you choose to bring in, from florals and custom decor to added vendors, we do not publish fixed prices. We start with a consultation, design to your budget, and give you one clear proposal with everything itemized. No hidden costs.

How far in advance should I get in touch?+

The earlier the better, especially for weddings and larger celebrations. Smaller gatherings can come together on shorter timelines. Ask us and we will tell you honestly what is possible for your date.

Do you offer styling or setup only?+

Yes. If you already have the plan and simply need the room brought to life, we offer design, styling, and onsite setup as a standalone service.

Where are you based, and do you travel?+

We are based in the San Francisco Bay Area and available for events beyond it. Travel is quoted per event.

A Note From Karina

Every service here comes with the same thing: me, personally invested in your day. I have spent my career making sure guests feel cared for, and I bring all of it to the celebrations I design. Tell me what matters most to you, and I will build the day around it.
