What is the story behind Nani Events?
At Nani Events, we believe your wedding day should be filled with joy, unforgettable moments, and the freedom to truly experience every second—not manage it.
Founded in 2009 by owner and lead planner Kanani "Nani" Young, Nani Events has become one of San Diego's trusted names in wedding planning, design, and event management.
Nani began her career as a Special Events Coordinator at one of San Diego's largest wedding and conference venues, where she gained invaluable experience managing weddings and large-scale events. After seeing firsthand how much couples needed someone they could trust to guide them through the planning process, she founded Nani Events with one simple mission: to create beautiful celebrations while allowing couples and their families to be fully present on one of the most important days of their lives.
As the business continued to grow, Nani expanded her experience by founding and owning a banquet and event venue, which she successfully operated for eight years. Managing both the venue and planning sides of the industry gave her a unique perspective that few planners have, allowing her to anticipate challenges before they arise and create a seamless experience for every client.
Today, Nani Events has evolved into a full-service event company, offering Wedding Management, Full-Service Planning, Design & Styling, Floral Design, Rentals, and Event Décor. With an ever-growing inventory of carefully curated décor and rental pieces, couples enjoy the convenience of working with one experienced team for nearly every aspect of their celebration.
Our clients often tell us that what sets Nani Events apart isn't just the beautiful details—it's the peace of mind they feel throughout the entire process. We believe planning should feel exciting, organized, and enjoyable, and we're committed to making sure you can truly experience your wedding day while we handle everything behind the scenes.
Whether you're planning an intimate celebration or a large-scale wedding, our goal remains the same: to bring your vision to life with professionalism, creativity, and genuine care.
We'd be honored to celebrate alongside you.

Nani is amazing
I’d Get Married All Over Again Just to Work With Nani!
Nani was referred to me by a friend during the final month of wedding planning, when I was scrambling after unexpectedly parting ways with my original coordinator. From our very first call, Nani brought such a sense of professionalism, confidence, and calm. She immediately made me feel like, “Everything is going to be okay; we have time!” And somehow, she made me believe it!
What an absolute blessing it was to work with such a seasoned event professional. Nani stepped in without hesitation, quickly got up to speed, and made me feel completely supported during what could have been an incredibly stressful final few weeks. She was always by my side and seemed to have a solution for anything and everything that came up, both leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day itself.
Because of Nani, I was able to truly be present and enjoy our wedding day knowing everything was in such capable hands. I genuinely cannot recommend her enough. If you’re getting married, do yourself a favor and hire Nani. You will be so grateful you did!

✨ A Fairytale Wedding at Sunset Cliffs ✨
But every fairytale needs a guiding light—and mine was Nani, my extraordinary wedding coordinator. From the moment she entered my life, I knew God had handpicked her just for me. Nani wasn’t just organized and experienced—she was grace, calm, and wisdom wrapped into one beautiful soul.
Whenever a challenge appeared, she already had the answer before I even knew a question existed. She carried every detail, every decision, and every moment as if it were her own. Once I placed everything in her hands, my heart found complete peace. I didn’t worry about a thing.
As the waves crashed gently below and the sky melted into twilight, I realized I was living my dream wedding—all because of Nani’s love, care, and unwavering dedication. She turned every plan into perfection, every moment into magic.
My wedding wasn’t just beautiful—it was beyond imagination. And for that, I will forever be grateful to Nani, the fairy godmother who brought my fairytale to life.

Great experience working with Nani Events
Meticulous and Marvellous 🤍💙🖤
I was quite hands on throughout the planning process, and I was happy that Nani took the time to check-in during each major decision and make genuine and logistic recommendations. Nani and her team brought my husband and I so much peace of mind on our wedding day, all thanks to her meticulous planning. She had all the details we hashed out together planned to a tee which allowed us to soak in all the love on our special day. Nani caters to your different levels of coordinating needs and she was EXACTLY who we were looking for. Her coordinating package and price was affordable for our vision, but it was Nani we were more invested in. She is incredibly attentive, responsive, professional, and kind. I feel like Nani, my husband, and our family bonded well with Nani during this entire process ❤️
Look no further, stop emailing and comparing different coordinators and their prices... I'm telling you Nani is all you'll need... for any and all events. Without no hesitation, you will be in marvellous hands with her.
Thank you Nani for being part of an amazing chapter in our lives 🖤
