OUR ORIGINAL WEDDING PLANNER UNFORTUNATELY HAD TO BACK OUT JUST I WEEK BEFORE OUR BIG DAY. WE WERE DESPERATELY SEARCHING FOR SOMEONE TO HELP US ON A BUDGET AND SO LAST MINUTE AND WE ARE SO THANKFUL THAT CONNOR STEPPED UP! SHE WAS ABLE TO MEET WITH US BEFOREHAND AND ORGANIZE EVERYTHING FROM TIMELINE, VENDORS, DECORATIONS, AND DETAILS I HADN'T EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT! SHE ALSO CAME TO HELP US DURING OUR REHEARSAL DINNER TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING RAN SMOOTHLY. ON THE WEDDING DAY. CONNOR WAS EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL AND MADE SURE TO PRIORITIES MY WANTS FOR THE DAY OVER EVERYBODY ELSE! ONE OF MY PRIORITIES WAS THAT GUESTS DID NOT ENTER THE VENUE BEFORE A CERTAIN TIME, AND WHEN GUESTS STARTED SHOWING UP EARLY CONNOR RESPECTFULLY TOLD THEM TO WAIT OUTSIDE AS SHE KNEW THAT WAS IMPORTANT TO ME. SHE ALSO CONTINUALLY UPDATED ME THROUGHOUT THE GETTING READY PROCESS WITH HOW THE DECORATIONS WERE LOOKING, ASKED ME QUESTIONS ABOUT PREFERENCES, AND MADE SURE I ALSO HAD EVERYTHING I NEEDED! THE REST OF THE CEREMONY AND RECEPTION WENT INCREDIBLY SMOOTH AND SHE WAS QUICK TO HELP TEAR DOWN THE VENUE AND RETURN ALL THE DECORATIONS TO THEIR PROPER PLACE. SO THANKFUL FOR HER HELP AND WOULD ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE

Congratulations, you’re engaged! We are so honored to work with couples from all walks of life to create a day that is uniquely you. On your wedding day, you’ll have a team to advocate for you, be by your side and help you pull off a celebration that’s one to remember.

We hired Michelle Knutson for our November 2025 Palm Springs wedding and truly could not be happier with our experience. We had a fairly small event, so we went with the day-of-coordinator package. Michelle truly went above and beyond just the day-of coordinating. She coordinated a couple intros zooms, got in touch with our venue and all of our vendors beforehand and brought us solutions when we realized we were going to be rained on. The day of she was a straight shooter - direct and ran a tight ship. But she was also warm, friendly and upbeat. Her assistant even took care of my dog for me and made sure he was fed and walked! We are forever grateful to her and her team for making our day so special. 10/10 recommend!

I got married on a llama farm, so you could say I’m no stranger to quirky, out-of-the-box celebrations. From that unforgettable day, I realized I have a real knack for bringing dream weddings to life, no matter how unique the vision. Now, I’m here to help couples create their perfect day, whether it’s under fairy lights, in a barn, or even at a llama farm! When I’m not busy planning, I’m at home with my amazing husband, two snuggly cats, and one very fluffy rabbit. Let’s create something magical together!

Espinosa Events & Weddings was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Michaela was so easy to work with, reaching out frequently to ensure we were on the same page. On the day of our wedding, her attention to detail ensured the entire wedding was seamless and exactly as I had envisioned. Micheala even brought a whole bag full of supplies, which was a lifesaver when I forgot the table numbers - they had a full set for me to use. I cannot recommend Espinosa Events & Weddings enough for any couple planning their dream wedding.

Sydney was a DREAM!! My husband and I both agree that hiring Sydney was hands down the best decision we made while planning our entire wedding. She and her amazing assistant (Bridget) made sure the day ran smoothly and we stayed on schedule as much as possible. Sydney was so available and responsive during the month leading up to our wedding, and she connected with all of our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page.

From the very beginning, Jen brought a sense of calm and confidence to our wedding planning process. While she was technically our day-of coordinator, she jumped in to support us a full month before the wedding — helping with logistics, vendor coordination, and keeping everything organized and on track. On the big day, she was so attentive, perceptive, and incredibly grounded. She understood the nuances of our family dynamics without needing much direction and handled every moment with grace. I was completely comfortable handing off all vendor communication to her, which allowed me to truly enjoy the day. She listened carefully, wrote things down, and followed through — often within minutes. Her assistants were kind, proactive, and professional, which only added to the sense of trust and ease. Everything felt seamless and intentional. Her communication was clear and efficient, and I genuinely appreciated her adaptability, warmth, and thoughtful attention to all the details — even the ones I didn’t know I needed help with. She didn’t just help us execute a timeline — she helped bring our vision to life. We couldn't imagine our day without her.
