    Worked as a wedding photographer

    Never knew such competent, organized, friendly, helpful people. Olivia and the whole team are a great joy to work with. This is the way to go.

    Wedding Bliss

    Olivia and her team delivered a wedding that was better than anything my husband and I could have imagined, especially at our budget. She immediately understood our vibe and our vision, she connected us with the most wonderful vendors, and she was conscientious of our budget the whole way through. She got us excited about details I either never thought I’d care about or didn’t believe would align with my taste, but she proved me wrong and perfectly translated our style into the wedding of our dreams. Olivia displayed excellent judgement throughout the whole process, but especially the day of the ceremony. My husband and I were blissfully free to enjoy the day without worrying about a single thing—Olivia and her team took care of all of it. Olivia, her team, and every vendor she recommended was an absolute joy to work with and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. The final product exceeded all expectations and felt totally magical. When you spend months planning a single weekend, it seems impossible for that weekend to live up to the hype. And I was definitely skeptical about whether we could execute a wedding that felt like us, where I could be fully present and enjoy myself the whole time. But that's what Olivia delivered, and I'm so grateful to her.

    Fun, Inventive, and on top of it!

    We're a creative studio specializing in wedding suites and day of design and have had the change of working with Cloud 9 on several weddings. We LOVE them! Weddings can be so stressful, and you really need someone who is keeping their eyes on all the details and making sure everything comes together on time and beautifully. That is Cloud 9. We've worked with Olivia and she has been organized, on board for making big dreams happen, and overall pleasant and fun to work with. We give them 1,000 yesses!

    Epitome of professionalism!

    I am a vendor that has worked with Cloud9 Events since its inception. Olivia and her team amaze me with their willingness to help, the level of their professionalism and ability to create the perfect atmosphere. Hiring Cloud9 for your event is the right choice.

    The help we needed

    Truly incredible. We didn't know anything, and Olivia and Cloud 9 not only knew it all, but also know the right people, the prices, the backup options....it was amazing. My parents recently went to a wedding where they didn't have a cake knife, and all I could think was how that would never happen with Olivia, because she thought of everything.

    The only choice for a wedding in the San Juans!

    Olivia and the team at Cloud Nine events were instrumental in us pulling off our wedding weekend with multiple days of events on San Juan Island where 90% of guests were traveling from out of state. Her intimate knowledge of Saltwater Farm and relationships with all of the local vendors who work there often was a huge advantage of hiring her over other planners who may not be based in the islands. She was incredible to work with and provided the level of communication and handholding that we needed, while also letting us take the reins where we felt excited or passionate about something. As we got closer to our wedding weekend, Olivia got even more involved in the details and ensured that so many elements were progressing smoothly that we would have never thought of without her. The weekend of our wedding, she handled every issue or snafu that came up, big or small, including chartering a backup barge to get our band from one island to another when the interisland ferry threatened to cancel. She was able to head off issues before they happened, and when they did pop up, handle them without us even knowing, which is exactly why you hire a full service planner. We LOVE you, Olivia!!!!!! Thank you for making our wedding weekend so magical and our vision come alive in so many ways. You are the best!

    100% Worth It

    Olivia puts tremendous care and attention into her work. She guided us through every big and small decision - it felt as if we were her only customer throughout the process.

    She is an islander through and through. She knows the best businesses, locations, activities, and travel options available - even on short notice. Every vendor we worked with told us “Oh, we love working with Olivia”. It just made everything run smooth as could be.

    Logistically, her team is extremely efficient and professional. On top of that, she made time to include personal gestures and details to make our wedding day feel special and truly our own. She put us at ease. I thought that I would become more stressed the closer we got to our wedding date. It turned out to be the opposite - I felt more relaxed each day because of how thoroughly we had planned.

    Even if you tend to be a DIY type of person I cannot tell you how much our decision to hire a planner / day-of coordinator paid off. I promise that the peace of mind alone is worth every penny. You will have a day full of love, a killer party, and the best memory of your life.

    A Stress-Free Island Wedding

    Literally the best decision we made for our wedding was hiring Olivia and Cloud 9 events for day-of coordination. We got married on Orcas Island in September, and about 3 months out from the date realized we needed some extra support to bring our vision to life (this is code for me freaking out about how to hang string lights and fold napkins on my wedding day). My husband and I were impressed with Olivia from our first call - she was professional, responsive, creative, and extremely knowledgeable about all things Orcas Island. She managed our contracts, timelines, decor rentals, etc. leading up to the wedding weekend, getting to know our vendors and ensuring everyone knew where to be and when. The day before the wedding, a ferry carrying many of our guests was canceled, and within 10 minutes, Olivia used her connections on the island to help us secure a van and personally shuttle walk-on passengers from the terminal to our venue. On our actual wedding day, she was somehow everywhere - keeping things moving, reassuring nervous family members, and anticipating needs before they happened. I'm pretty sure she worked with the airport to pause air traffic during our outdoor ceremony. Her familiarity with Orcas and the community there was invaluable throughout the whole process. We had the BEST time, and that's because I never had to worry with Olivia on our team.

    Stop considering and hire Olivia and Cloud 9 events. You won't regret it.

    Incredible!!

    When we chose our wedding venue, the only date available was 8 weeks out. We decided to go for it and crossed our fingers we could find a wedding planner that could work that short time frame. We found Olivia at Cloud 9 Events and she saved us! We had no idea what to do and we didn't know any vendors on Orcas Island. She immediately made us feel calm about everything and had vendors lined up for us in no time. She is very well connected and we ended up with an incredible photographer, videographer, caterer, florist, a band, and baker all willing to work with us on short notice because they all knew and worked so well with Olivia and Cloud 9. She went above and beyond in a millions other ways and we had a blast planning it with her. Our wedding weekend and day was perfect. We are forever grateful to you! Thank you for everything! ❤️

    The Perfect Wedding!

    Olivia and her team were amazing! Our daughter was married on Orcas Island in May of 2022 and everything was spectacular, allowing the bride and groom and their families to focus on celebrating the beginning of their new lives together and not the minutiae of their wedding. As the mother of the bride, I brought Olivia in early on in the planning process because I recognized that I needed her local knowledge and years of experience. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and connections to vendors in the area are unmatched, plus, she’s just fun to have around. I have no doubt that there were a number of hiccups that she just handled without my even knowing. (Looking at you, WA State Ferries!) Because she is so good at her job, I was able to outsource all my stress to her and focus on my daughter, her new husband, and visiting family. I really cannot say enough wonderful things about her. You should hire her!

    Thank you for everything!

    Kimaya is the sweetest person to work with! My partner and I were planning our wedding on Orcas Island from afar in California, so Kimaya was essential in helping with our planning, especially with helping us find all our vendors. We had the beginnings of our dream wedding planned with all the best vendors when Covid hit and everything was of course thrown out the door. Kimaya was incredibly understanding and flexible with our many delays and was always there to talk to and think through what direction we should take with each new hurdle. Kimaya was our rock through the craziness of planning a wedding during covid, and we would have loved working with Olivia, the new owner of Cloud 9 Events, but in the end we decided to finally get married where we live instead of postponing for another year again. We're sad that in the end we didn't get to spend our big day with either Kimaya or Olivia - they're truly the best!

    The absolute best!

    When my partner and I got engaged we asked friends what they recommended for planning a wedding. They said to get a wedding planner and day-of coordinator. They were absolutely right and working with Cloud 9 Events and Kimaya was the very best decision we made for planning our wedding!

    Not only did Kimaya help us find vendors, keep us organized with contracts and payments, but she was also on top of everything and incredibly flexible, especially during the pandemic. She helped us with what felt like huge issues, like the wedding venue potentially being double booked and having to change our dessert vendor one month out (Kimaya responded to the email within a few minutes with a solution before I could even start to freak out). She was also incredibly receptive and helped us really tailor the wedding to who we are as a couple and made it feel like us (like having our dog in the wedding or doing our first dance on roller skates).

    The day of, we had Kimaya and her assistant Olivia on-site at Pebble Cove Farm and they really made the day run so smoothly. Olivia was especially helpful when my partner realized he forgot to pack a dress shirt and she immediately arrived where we were staying with three different options. The entire day was wonderful and we both were relaxed and able to focus on getting married and spending time with guests because we knew Kimaya and Olivia had it under control.

    Kimaya is the perfect balance of kind, reassuring, relaxed, and practical. I would not hesitate to recommend her, Olivia, or anyone else that works at Cloud 9 Events if you are planning a wedding or event!

    Orcas Island Dream Wedding

    I'm so lucky we were able to work with Kimaya on our Orcas Island wedding. When we did the site visits she brought me to a venue that wasn't on my radar because I hadn't seen photos of the entire property. She knew it would fit my vision perfectly and I was blown away during the site visit to Turtlehead Farm. Kimaya was so amazing throughout the entire planning process and brought together the best vendors and staff the island has to offer. Our servers and bartenders were absolute pros and every rental from the lounge furniture to the restrooms and lighting were just perfect. Kimaya organized absolutely everything and even did a lot of the setup for the wedding herself because she's a total rockstar. She also was so good at calming my "worst case scenario" fears like what if it rained on the wedding day, etc. and assured me everything would be fine (and she had a backup plan). The wedding was more beautiful than I could have imagined and all of our guests said it was the best/most beautiful wedding they have ever been to! I am biased but I have to agree. Could not have had such a special day without Kimaya, my husband and I are so grateful for her. If you're looking to get married on Orcas Island I would 100% recommend Kimaya Cloud 9 Events!

    Not enough words of gratitude...

    I'm not even sure where to begin - Kimaya was just the most incredible gift we could have asked for in planning our wedding. I wasn't sure we needed a planner at first, as our original venue has a large events team, but decided that given how busy my husband and I both are, and that we were planning an island wedding from Seattle, it would be helpful. Well, that was the absolute best decision we made in our wedding planning, period. I met with several planners and Kimaya had an amazing combination of German efficiency, island warmth and love, and knowledge of all things San Juans and weddings. Fast forward 3 months or so... here comes COVID. We were originally scheduled to get married at Roche Harbor on Memorial Day weekend, but ended up postponing until August, downsizing to 20 people, downsizing again, and eventually having to cancel the entire thing just 10 days before our rescheduled August date due to state restrictions. At every step of the way, Kimaya went above and beyond to meet with us, reassure us, help us plan and replan and re-replan - and then helped us create an entirely different wedding in less than 10 days (we're talking new ceremony site, finding last minute videographers since none of our friends or extended family would be there, rentals, cake transport, dinner plans... literally everything changed). Somehow (because of Kimaya) it all came together and we had a beautiful day with our parents and immediate families - she took care of every little detail, and the big ones, was calm and steady the whole time, and just kept telling us it was going to be OK. And it was more than OK, it was beautiful and intimate and special. We would use her again in a heartbeat. She is a lovely person, an incredible event planner, and now a friend.

    Best Decision We Made in 2020!

    If you are getting married on Orcas Island or in the San Juan Island stop everything you are doing and hire Kimaya to help you plan your wedding. She was so helpful through all the hoops COVID-19 threw our way in order to end up at a lovely 28 person wedding and reception. She is knowledgeable about local vendors, direct and helpful in all planning aspects. I felt at ease planning my wedding with her by my side and I am an event planner myself. Can't recommend her enough!

    The Best of the Best!!

    When we hired Cloud Nine Events/Kimaya in September of 2019 to help us with our Orcas Island Wedding for late August 2020, we had no idea just how valuable Kimaya would be to us. Not only were we planning the wedding from out-of-state but in March of 2020 COVID hit. If I were to detail all the ways Kimaya was crucial to pulling off our wedding, this review would be 10 pages long. So I’ll stick to the highlights.

    Kimaya started to help us back in September and was always very responsive and made sure to check in with us through the winter months to make sure we were on track with vendors. At that time she provided a helpful list of recommendations and put us in contact with vendors such as the caterer, venue, transportation, and music. She allowed us our creative freedom, made suggestions, and coordinated with many of the vendors we initially decided to go with. She provided us with reminders for when we needed to “lock-down” a vendor because the services on the island can be scarce. It was common for vendors to ask, “What wedding planner are you working with?” When we said Kimaya, vendors always responded with a sense of relief. The logistics for an Orcas Island wedding can be tricky and she provided essential information that we needed to get out to friends and family regarding the ferry schedule and travel to/from the airport.

    When March of 2020 rolled around our 150 guest wedding plans quickly started to change due to Covid-19. Kimaya stayed positive and SO supportive as we navigated uncertain territory. By April we were already discussing postponing but, for personal reasons, that wasn’t an option for us. Kimaya was understanding and not-at-all judgmental. Kimaya advised us to avoid making rash decisions, and that it was not yet time to panic. She encouraged us to think about what was important to us as a couple. We decided to go on as planned with the idea that we would comply with all state and local ordinances, and adjust accordingly. We also assumed that by August 22nd, things would settle down (we were very wrong). Kimaya kept a pulse on the “culture” and vibe around the island throughout the pandemic and her involvement in the community was invaluable to us.

    Looking back, what was so impressive regarding Kimaya’s approach, in my opinion, was that she did not try to predict the future. Instead she reacted with the information that was available at the time (she even called state and local governments for clarifications on guidelines and ordinances). Kimaya coached us on what we needed to take care of (calling vendors, lodging, transportation, etc.), what could wait, and then she rolled with the punches. When a new problem came up, she helped us create a new plan, executed the plan, and made necessary adjustments.

    Most importantly Kimaya communicated early and often. She was direct, honest, and above all KIND! She was available by phone and email; she replied to messages and phone calls promptly, and communicated when she would not be available.

    My goal of this review is to highlight the fact that we put Kimaya/Cloud Nine Events in a very challenging situation. Despite this, she was able to turn a wedding that appeared doomed, and almost everything that could go wrong, did go wrong, into the most beautiful and happy day of our lives. Imagine the magic Kimaya can help you to create when there is no pandemic and if you are planning your wedding during these crazy times you are in good hands with Cloud Nine Events.

    Summer 2019 Wedding - Orcas Island

    Kamiya was great to work with throughout the entire process. She demonstrated her depth of experiences in doing weddings in the San Juan Islands by helping us in all facets and especially with the logistics of guest travel to and from the island. We found her to be very professional, yet fun at the same time. We highly recommend working with Kimaya for your wedding :)

    Thank you Kimaya for playing such a big role in our special day! - Luke and Tiffany

    I Couldn’t Have Done It Without Kimaya and Stephen!

    I tend to be a ‘do it yourself’ person, and I have helped coordinate a number of weddings myself. But, I absolutely could NOT have planned our gorgeous wedding on Orcas Island without Kimaya’s services, and Kimaya and Stephen’s assistance on the day of.

    Kimaya’s relationship with each vendor helped us secure not only the best option for our Celtic/boho vibe, but also the best price.

    Leading up to our wedding, my now husband and I were selling two homes, buying a third, and combining two families. Kimaya’s gentle reminders to secure vendors and deposits kept me on track. Most importantly, it dissolved any and all stress of having to keep track of those things myself.

    One week before the wedding, I realized I was going to regret not hiring a videographer. Kimaya immediately sprang into action and got me in touch with the videographer we hired, and also negotiated a custom package for us.

    Three days before the wedding, I decided I wanted to try to hire a bagpiper to play during the recessional as a surprise for my husband. It was Saint Patrick’s Day weekend....so definitely a long shot. But Kimaya was undeterred and immediately found contact info for me.

    Our wedding date faced the additional complication of being on the cusp of the Covid-19 shutdown. Two days before our date, the governor mandated that no groups over 250 people could gather. We were within those limits and made the decision to go ahead with our wedding. Kimaya went absolutely above and beyond to make sure there were hand sanitizing stations at the venue, and sent out emails the week prior assuring us that all of the vendors would be taking extra precautions to keep everyone safe. She shared tips for our guests, and made suggestions. She was absolutely thorough and thoughtful.

    Decorating the day before the wedding, and handing over final payments so Kimaya could handle them for us was organized and easy! The rehearsal the day before the wedding was fast, organized and easy.

    The day of the wedding, it was 30 degrees and the wind was howling. Kimaya arrived at my suite while I was getting ready, and she was the calm in a literal storm. Kimaya found a veil for me to borrow for photos, so we could take advantage of the wind for gorgeous shots. Guests were canceling left and right because of the Covid-19 crisis. Our plan to have some portraits taken at the top of Mount Constitution was dashed by the high winds. Kimaya worked with the photographer and videographers to find a different location for that shoot. We landed on two spots that I know will produce amazing photos. Without Kimaya’s knowledge of the island, we wouldn’t have had that option. Through every moment of that chaos, she was calm and comforting.

    The wedding ceremony itself was perfect. Kimaya cued and played our ceremony music from her phone to her speaker. Stephen, her assistant was equally calming and sweet. Stephen cued the bridal party about when to walk, and kept all of us collected and ready.

    The toasts, dinner and desert, cake cutting, and first dance went off without any complications. The dancing was an absolute blast, and all of that happened because of Kimaya and Stephen.

    The next morning, Kimaya and her team coordinated the clean up, with her hired help and some of my friends. My husband and I showed up to collect our personal items and have the walk-through with the venue coordinator. Easy, not at all stressful, and fast.

    I cannot adequately express how valuable Kimaya’s services were. Worth every single penny. We hired Kimaya to do ‘Day Of’ coordination. But she SO generously gave me help and guidance all the way through. Her knowledge of the island and her relationships with vendors was priceless. In spite of all of the complications, our wedding was the best day of our lives. We have Cloud9 events, and Kimaya to thank for that! If you are considering hiring this company, do yourself a favor and DO it! You won’t regret it!!!!

    Kimaya is the BEST!

    We had the best experience working with Kimaya for our wedding on Orcas Island. My husband and I are pretty easygoing people to begin with, but wedding planning with Kimaya was surprisingly calming! She was incredibly reliable and reassuring when we didn’t know what we were doing. And her professionalism and expertise with the San Juans is top-notch. The day of our wedding, Kimaya was simply amazing. Her experience with weddings really showed and we even got many compliments from guests about both Kimaya and her assistant, Jane! We can’t recommend her enough.

    Professional assertive and kind!

    Kimaya was the best! She was able to get things in order without being too demanding or bossy. She took control of situations when I needed guidance and made sure that my fiancé and I were able to enjoy every moment of our wedding. She was so kind and fun and every one loved her. She help make my wedding a dream come true.

    Amazing! - Creative, Organized, Calm & Kind

    Kimaya is wonderful - creative, organized, kind. She was an amazing advocate and ally as we planned out wedding from the other side of the country! She came with ideas as well as details, helping us unlock the vision in our heads and turn it into a reality. The-day-of she was on the ground, hands on, making sure everything came together - directing vendors, calming venue hosts, shepherding guests, making sure we took the time to enjoy the moment - always with her signature calm, kind and optimistic disposition.

    Cannot recommend highly enough!!

    Kimaya was our secret weapon! She is the reason our wedding was a joy AND the reason we didn’t lose our minds along the way :) She is truly an expert, and was able to guide us in all decisions with vendors and timing and schedules. Her knowledge of Doe Bay and personal connections to vendors on the island was so helpful. And she emanates calm, and reassured us every step of the way. She feels like family now! Can not recommend highly enough!

    She knows how to make an Island event run like clockwork

    Kimaya and Cloud 9 knows all the best locations on Orcas Island and environs, and has long standing relationships with all the vendors and service providers here. She understands the extra logistical challenges of being on and island, and was an absolute godsend in helping us curate a very specific sort of experience. We tried to coordinate family weddings ourselves in the past, and are soooo glad we had a pro in charge this time. Kimaya just makes things run like clockwork, so you can have your attention on your family and friends. Use her!

    Seamless planning/coordinating

    Kimaya is a genius, a machine, and an absolute angel. I loved working with her every minute we had. She pulled off the wedding of my dreams. She helped with picking out who I should hire and communicated with the vendors I hired that weren’t on the list beautifully. The vendors said she was totally amazing to work to with and the guests noticed it too. She was a pleasure, I highly recommend her.
