Tamara & Zachary
Paradise Ballrooms, Fremont — January
Full Wedding Planning — and yes, this was my own wedding!
This one is personal — literally. Planning my own wedding gave me the deepest possible appreciation for what couples go through, and the confidence to know I could handle every single detail under pressure. The day featured a traditional Zaffe entrance, full decor design and physical setup, and end-to-end planning from start to finish. I handled it all — including setting every table myself and tying every chair bow the night before.
What I handled:
Full venue management at Paradise Ballroom, Fremont
Complete decor design and physical setup
Zaffe entrance coordination
Guest list management and RSVP coordination
Wedding website and gift registry setup
All design work for printed, digital materials, and customized signage
End-to-end planning and day-of execution
Planning your own wedding teaches you things no training can. It's where I learned that the best coordinator is one who genuinely cares — because it's her day too.
