Full-Service Event Planning and Week-Of Coordination

Event Success provides event planning for high-quality weddings, corporate events and special occassions.

We've planned charity auctions, company picnics, and weddings of just about every type you can name. Events share one common need: flawless coordination and planning. If your style is modern and hip or if you lean toward classic and timeless, we can coordinate the venue, decor, and catering to meet your needs.

Step one is to get to know you and your goals and needs for your event. Once we understand your wishes, we will plan and coordinate a flawless and memorable experience for all those in attendance. Event Success has built relationships with high quality vendors and venues througout the Northwest. By calling on these resources, we can be sure to meet your wishes and your budget.

While you can count on us to bring ideas and resources to the process, our approach is friendly and relaxing. Expect honest advice and proper direction -- and an event unique to you.

Professional and Nurturing

Jacky at event success is wonderful. She is very experienced, a good listener, and attentive. She was always able to help assuage any concerns we had and address last minute issues. We are busy professionals and didn't have time to obsess about decisions - she provided great recommendations and lead us through the process. We would strongly recommend her to anyone.

I had the pleasure of attending and working alongside Jacky of Event Success at a wedding on Bainbridge Island. Simply put, the wedding was flawless. Jacky and her team planned and executed an exceptional day. It seemed like everything was perfect! The events were on time. The food was delicious. The flowers, details and decor were immaculate. Jacky's also super easy to work with! And... maybe the most important... all the guests had an absolute blast!!!

Jacky is amazing and we were so thankful for the referral from another beyond satisfied bride. She is all about understanding your vision, adding ideas and insights from her years of experience planning weddings and making sure the wedding is everything imagined. We had an outdoor wedding in Leavenworth at a remote location on Sept. 8th this year and there was zero percent chance of rain, but rain it did. Jacky saved the day with her collection of beautiful umbrellas that matched our color scheme! She also took towels and "danced" all over the dance floor to dry it -- she is all over the vision and big picture things but also managed every single detail. Our wedding was spectacularly beautiful and I truly can't imagine a better wedding planning partner than Jacky. She has lists and timelines and made sure everything was discussed, decided and delivered -- exactly what we needed.
