    I highly recommend!

    Chardonnay was the best! She helped to relieve a lot of stress leading up to our big day and on the day(s) of. She was available for any questions and regards. Not only that, she was never hesitant to be a helping hand. We appreciate her for being there for us and our guests. I highly recommend Chardonnay Events!

    Favorite vendor for our wedding!

    My husband and I cannot recommend Chardonnay's wedding services highly enough, singlehandedly she was able to communicate with vendors, the venue, and our families on our wedding day in order to make every aspect of the day go smoothly and efficiently. There are things only someone who does this professionally would be able to foresee and plan ahead for, she helped us find solutions to potential issues that could have arrived (like rain on our wedding day). Incredible initiative the second she arrived helping organize and communicate, she even found some extra lights and added some finishing touches to the reception area. On top of everything, she was so genuine and friendly from the first time we met! I would recommend her to anyone and would hire her again in a heartbeat!

    Thank you so much Casey! Your wedding was sweet and special

    Perfect Wedding Day

    Hiring Chardonnay was the best decision we could have made when planning our wedding! Initially it was not in my train of thought to hire anyone but our venue required a wedding coordinator and provided a preferred vendor list with Chardonnay listed. I was able to have a zoom meet and greet with Chardonnay and after that I knew having a coordinator was the best idea and that Chardonnay would be the perfect fit! Chardonnay is truly wonderful at her profession and does an AMAZING job coordinating your wedding to day to ensure that it is exactly how you envisioned and dreamed of! Chardonnay is very kind and makes you during the wedding planning and on your wedding day feel at ease that your day will run exactly as you envision it. Chardonnay is incredibly responsive to any questions or updates and she is wonderful at planning ahead and reaching out to you to see what you are thinking or planning, and if not planning providing suggestions to think of (if needed). She’s very kind and welcoming to your friends and family, and efficient at making sure the day runs according to schedule. Our wedding day ended up having rain in the forecast and Chardonnay took on the challenge of looking for a tent and creating a perfect plan B for our day. Chardonnay set up our decor exactly how we had hoped and looked BEAUTIFUL. She made set up and ease and something we didn’t have to think about or worry about.
    Our wedding day came out perfect and we enjoyed ourselves and couldn’t have asked for anything more. We are so happy and grateful Chardonnay was apart of our day and ensuring our wedding was the best and happiest days. THANK YOU!! We cannot recommend her services enough.

    Thank you for this, Caitlin! I loved working with you! Your day was so beautiful, and we loved supporting you!!

Owner & Founder

Hi, my name is Chardonnay, and I am the owner of Chardonnay Events. I created my company in 2018 after noticing that there was a need for this type of service in the Sacramento region (and after dreaming about doing it for several years!).

During and after earning my Bachelor of Arts in Public Relations from Sacramento State, I worked in the marketing and PR industry for a number of years. I worked in-house for a public agency as well as for a private PR firm, and my favorite part of the job was always coordinating and staffing special events! I’ve organized and executed a wide variety of occasions, including weddings, fundraisers, bridal and baby showers, birthday parties, community festivals, customer and employee appreciation events, and more!

I took several years off from the workforce to be a stay-at-home mother to my two daughters. I always knew that when I returned to working, I wanted to find a career that I was passionate about and that would also allow me to help others. It was in this search that I developed the concept for Chardonnay Events.

…and that’s how this little company was born! I truly love what I do, and would be delighted to support you in hosting a fabulous event.

Aside from my love of special events, I enjoy cooking, planning and organization of all types, yoga, hiking (especially at the American River) and going on adventures with my husband and children.
