Kendra D. Sent on 12/21/2023Detail Oriented and Easy to Communicate with
As another wedding vendor (transportation) it was a pleasure working with Yoko. She was detailed in her communication and easy to work with. She provided me with the answers to any questions I had and helped things run smoothly on our end so we could provide the couple with a fun and unique trolley experience! I hope to work with one of her couples again in the future! -

Alex A. Sent on 12/14/2023Leo and Leah of Two Perfect Events planned our Perfect Wedding!
Two Perfect Events is excellent at fulfilling the vision that you bring to them (we had an art deco garden party theme for our wedding, with the ceremony in a greenhouse and the reception at a Peruvian restaurant). They’re also great at ensuring you consider all facets of a wedding to be prepared for anything. It attests to the quality of their work that Leo, Leah, and the Two Perfect Events team do before and during the big day that our wedding went off literally without a hitch (actually not literally, because we did get hitched!). The event flow went flawlessly all due to Two Perfect Events working behind the scenes to coordinate, schedule, and ensure every last detail and request was fulfilled, all while caring for us newlyweds and keeping us hydrated, which allowed us to stay in the present and enjoy our wedding while they worried about the small details.
One example to highlight just how spectacular Two Perfect Events is at making your dream a reality — our wedding included the Jewish wedding tradition of breaking a glass to conclude the ceremony. We decided that we wanted to stomp the glass at the exact moment when the beat dropped and the music swelled in our recessional song choice (“6’s to 9’s” by Big Wild). We had one chance to get it right, because the first time we’d even practice with the DJ would be live on the big day. During the rehearsal, Leo tracked the practice ceremony with a stopwatch in order to inform the DJ and perfectly time the moment. We truly did not believe it would actually be possible, and yet — the moment that we smashed the glass and the music swelled simultaneously, while our friends and family cheered us on, is one of the highlights of our wedding day. The attention to detail that Leo showed with the stopwatch exemplifies the quality that Two Perfect Events delivers. -

Justine Sent on 10/24/2023Best wedding day ever thanks to TPE!
Wow… my husband and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding day. We worked with a power team of Yoko, Natalie, and Leah, all three of whom were instrumental in making this day happen. Especially Yoko, our lead planner, who was the absolute GOAT! She is extremely friendly, personable, professional, detail-oriented, calm, and patient... possibly all the qualities you want in a wedding planner, esp coming from someone who prefers taking the reins on every little thing (lol)! We deeply appreciate Yoko’s hard work leading up to and on the day of. She kept us informed about everything and answered the myriad of questions we had every step of the way, always doing her best to honor our vision, offering alternative solutions when we needed it, ensuring we took care of what we needed to do, as well as making sure we were also well-taken care of! When I initially told Yoko at the start of our planning process that we wanted to have a primarily all-female team of vendors, she was so excited by the idea and did an excellent job searching for vendors. The multiple compliments we received on the venue, photography, florals, cake, as well as Yoko’s amazing and talented work on the wedding signage perfectly showcasing the golf elements of our wedding in the most beautiful and elegant way possible made us feel like every effort was absolutely worth it :) We were thrilled with her efforts to honor this request amongst many others, and are proud to have supported TPE as another fellow AAPI-woman-owned business. We are lucky to have worked with someone like Yoko, and to have a newfound friendship blossom during the process :) Thank you again Yoko and the TPE team for making our day so incredibly special and memorable!! -

The Two Perfect Events Team is a class act. The Team made of Justine, Annie Marissa, and Natalie and lead by Leah Hwung is professional, accommodating and incredibly organized. From the start we knew we were in good hands as Leah and her Team had organized my Fathers Wedding, which was perfect. Leah started with the detail tracker which lined out all of the aspects of a wedding. She educated and guided us through the process. Her knowledge and respect among the vendors was impressive. They all enjoyed working with her and I believe this was a factor in the smoothness of the event was due to her industry relationships. Leah provided great vendor and contract management saving us time and stress.
Day of the wedding was when Leah and her team really shined. Leah handled all of the behind-the-scenes action to ensure that the event ran smoothly and perfect. We did not see or experience any hick-ups which helped calm our nerves on an already stressful day. The regular check-ins throughout the day were comforting and organized. Another aspect of the Wedding’s success was the Team’s ability quickly and efficiently find solutions to problems. Day of was executed flawlessly.
If you are planning on getting married, I would highly recommend the Two Perfect Events Team. Their professionalism and style are top notch, and they are able to deliver an event that is truly memorable.
Simply put, instead of worrying about the execution of event, my Wife and I were able to focus solely on each other and isn’t that the point of a wedding?
Thank you to Leah and your Team. -

Isa T. Sent on 07/15/2023Visionary planners for cultural fusion weddings
Two Perfect Events coordinated our October 2022 wedding. Leah and Leo were our main planners and the very best kind: responsive, not pushy, poised, and highly practical. They organized every detail of our wedding using a custom portal, which was more comprehensive than any wedding planning template I’ve found online. Even our caterer mentioned to us that Leah is one of the best planners she’s worked with.
Unfortunately, our wedding venue canceled our booking just over a month before our wedding date. Leah and Leo mobilized immediately. They helped us contact 100+ venues and explored every contingency option. We had to re-plan the entire wedding from scratch, as so much of our planning leading up to that point was specific to the old venue. TPE essentially planned TWO weddings for us, and they minimized our panic every step of the way.
Our wedding was always going to be a cultural fusion event, and TPE is certainly an expert in that genre. We also loved their ability to execute unique yet unpretentious experiences. For the wedding day itself, we didn't need to worry about any vendor-related decisions. Everything could have fallen apart without their support. We wish for every wedding to have planners as helpful as Leah and Leo! -

Cynthia K. Sent on 09/03/2022Our Best Decision - TPE!
Leah and the rest of the TPE team were our LIFESAVERS for our August wedding! Even despite the influx of 2022 weddings, Leah never failed to make us feel special throughout the entire process, in addition to taking care of every. single. little. detail. leading up to the wedding day. She truly felt like our friend and was so personable, yet extremely professional.
The documents, checklists, spreadsheets that they had provided all in our custom wedding portal were all so helpful and we depended on them like no others. The logistics of planning a wedding is never fun, however Leah took care of pretty much everything for us, from helping select our dream venue, communicating and sourcing the rest of our vendors, reviewing contracts, and finding the little "gotchas" that we would have thought of on our own.
We were also wowed by our custom design proposal - Leah had prepared an entire design deck that helped us form our vision and allow for it to come to life. My husband and I had pieces of aspects we wanted for our wedding, but didn't exactly know how to bring all of them together into a cohesive design theme or vision, and that is when Leah came in and brought it all together for us into a perfect design vision deck. We loved it!
A couple months before the wedding, when things really started getting crazy, that is when we truly felt taken care of by Leah and team. Leo came onboard to help source our remaining vendors, and Yoko also stepped in to design our seating chart for us. Leah was always readily available, provided guidance and suggestions without ever being pushy once (which was something we both appreciated and were so impressed by!), and truly acted as the third leg of our stool.
During the wedding day, we couldn't have imagined a better team of day-of coordinators than Leah, Leo, and McKenna. Even our wedding party and family members commented on how well-organized they were. Not only that, but they also treated our loved ones and our VIPs so well and that really was the cherry on top for us! The entire wedding went smoothly as can be, and for the aspects that didn't go exactly as planned that were out of our control (aka windy weather) Leah was honest about what went wrong and how they decided to handle it instead, which we really appreciated.
Thank you Leah and the TPE team once again for being a huge part of our special day, and for everything you've done for us behind the scenes! We feel so lucky and grateful that we found them, and having TPE be our wedding planner was definitely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. -

Wensheen T. Sent on 07/24/2022Experienced, meticulous pros
Leah and Leo were the dream team for our wedding! I interviewed several planners/coordinators and Leah stood out for being extremely organized, experienced, and even-keeled. She had an answer for everything and nearly all our vendors were referrals from her (including our venue, which ended up being a dream! And we never would have found it otherwise). The templates the team provided for the planning process were incredibly helpful, and enabled us to think through things we never would have thought of, like "how would you handle X scenario?" and "who is handling this piece of the process?". Having a massive checklist to go through also made us feel really confident that we weren't forgetting anything in the months (and then weeks) leading up to the final event. We got the partial planning package, and it was a massive help that they took over all logistics starting 90 days out. Our venue (an orchid greenhouse) isn't a typical location, but Leah knew all the tips and tricks for running an event seamlessly there and everyone told us afterward they were so impressed with the overall experience. The team ran the venue walkthrough and all vendor coordination, so all we had to do was show up and enjoy the day :) They handled last minute changes and asks seamlessly, including flipping the ceremony space for the reception in a tight window (and limited physical space), and they kept us on schedule but in a minimally disruptive way. Through it all, they were unflappable and courteous, and somehow both everywhere at once but also invisible in the background. It was truly amazing. I can't recommend them highly enough! -

I can’t stress enough how grateful we were to have our planners, Yoko & Marissa, at TPE helping us with our wedding!! We have NO regrets hiring them, and they come with a glittering review from us.
We originally found them through The Knot and it was easy to reach them and make an appointment to meet. My then-fiancée and I had also spoken with a couple other planners but immediately knew that TPE was the right choice. Our budget was a little tight in the beginning, but TPE never made us feel like we were reaching or asking too much of them. They were so reassuring right from the get go and we knew that they were up to the challenge. They resemble confidence and total competence.
They were always prompt and prepared with pre-made planning materials, spreadsheets, and advice that streamlined the whole process and made everything far less daunting. They also have so many connections to other vendors which helped us to find some wonderful folks for our wedding! Any time we had a question, we would reach out and get an email back within a few hours or sometimes minutes. They never left us hanging and it gave us such peace of mind throughout the process.
Personally I’m a worrier, so having Yoko be so available to answer my questions and field my concerns helped to make the day honestly perfect (they really do live up to their name!). As we got closer to the day and guests were sending curveballs and questions, Yoko stepped in and handled things gracefully via email. She always kept us in the loop during the final phases of the planning, but never asked us to handle anything alone if we didn’t feel comfortable doing so. When a vendor didn’t show up for one of our events preceding the wedding, she immediately sent an email and requested a discount for us.
Our opinions, wishes, and ideas were always taken into consideration and valued. We never once felt like we weren’t being heard. We’d hire them again in a heartbeat!! -

My wife's written review:
We are so happy we chose Two Perfect Events for our May 6 2022 wedding. Our wedding day went perfectly, it was truly the best day of our lives, and we didn't need to worry about anything thanks to Leah and Leo making everything run smoothly behind the scenes. Leah's vendor referrals were excellent. I can't believe how beautiful it turned out!! AND somehow it was well within our target budget!!
Leah strikes a great balance of being flexible to support your choices and gearing her recommendations to what you want, but will give her advice on pros and cons when asked, and will also solve things for you and make new suggestions as makes sense given her experience and connections. For example, I had picked out some rustic farm tables in that grey-brown color that you always see on pinterest. She let us know that the rental company was offering a free upgrade to a new light warm color wood table that would be beautiful for our spring wedding. I was worried it would be too yellow so she got the florist's opinion. She agreed it would be beautiful and I am SO glad we went with them - it looked STUNNING!!!
In addition to the planning process, she has lots of forms and checklists to make sure all those little crucial details that we would never thought of get covered.
On the day of, Leo did a great job taking care of us - for example, making sure the timelines were being met, making sure we were hydrated throughout the night, making sure we had a safe way home at the end of the night. My husband and I will be forever grateful for the great job they did. Highly recommend!!! -

Nolee W. Sent on 01/05/2021Leah and team are the best
It is awesome working with Leah! She is super organized, thorough, patient, and makes everything simple and easy to understand. She solved all of our problems and made our life so much easier.
We found Leah by googling top wedding planners in the Bay Area. We met with other wedding planners, but Leah was the kindest and the most accommodating to our needs. Other wedding planners were showing us what our wedding will look like and didn’t really ask us our input.
Leah prepared a wedding planning website for us that had a very thorough breakdown of each phase of the planning. We started with the design phase where we came up with our vision together using a shared Pinterest board. After that she was able to find venues and vendors that matched our vision. She took care of discussing the contract with the vendors, and we were only involved in discussing the design and vision. Each option was broken down by price and flexibility in the planning website for us to easily track. Once everything was chosen, we would discuss the big day with Leah to nail down the tiny details that made our ceremony special to us. She even periodically checked in on us to make sure our clothes, wedding party, and other responsibilities were handled.
Our wedding ceremony had a fall aesthetic in the middle of the redwoods in Woodside, California. We had a very small wedding (25) people that were separated by households due to the Covid pandemic. We postponed our reception to be after the pandemic has passed. Leah and her team were on site and took care of the setup, cleanup, and placement of everything and everyone for us. They also had an emergency bag that was very useful for our last minute needs.
One week before our ceremony, our first venue cancelled on us due to covid concerns. Leah spent the whole day trying to convince them that we are following county guidelines but they would not budge. She then reached out to quite a few venues that matched our vision and was able to find a new venue the very next day. We were then able to book it within two days. Even with the venue change, we were really happy with the new venue she found.
We are already working with her on our reception after the Covid pandemic has passed. We would recommend Leah to anyone!Two Perfect Events's reply:
We are honored to be your planners. Thank you for trusting us with your big day and we are so excited for the celebration to come! -

When my husband and I started planning our wedding, we knew we wanted to be deeply involved in sourcing & booking our vendors. We wanted help executing our vision and an extra pair of eyes reminding us of anything we’d missed. Enter Two Perfect Events!
We booked the partial planning package and were thrilled to work with Leah, Leo, and Yoko. The planning portal we got access to was key for helping guide us through all of the steps, and point out things we should consider. Think all of the useful information from brides.com, theknot.com, etc but organized into a single source and none of it unnecessarily repeated–a lot easier to understand and parse. It was tedious to write down all of our details, but of course nobody can read minds and it was a great way for me to rehash the details–making sure it really was what we wanted. Paid off in dividends, to keep the TPE team aware of our plans and desires!
Throughout the process, Leah was incredibly communicative and suggested great vendors she’d personally worked with. We ended up booking our florist and photography/videography team through Leah’s recommendations, and they were all thrilled to work with Two Perfect Events again as well. We could tell why, as Leah & Leo kept everyone informed of the necessary details and worked hard to confirm everything (even with some week of changes on my part)!
On the day of, Leah and Yoko set up everything for our ceremony and kept an eye on it. The wind toppled some of our signs but they took the initiative and found a better, more secure location for our decor and tea ceremony. They kept everything running smoothly and on time, and brought us drinks regularly. Who knew your throat could get so dry after so many hours of smiling for photos? They did! Also appreciated that Leah checked with me about a layout miscommunication–she could tell that the vendor’s request was probably not one we desired.
Leo went ahead to our reception site to set up all of the centerpieces, table numbers, guestbook, ensure the drinks were where they needed to be, and so much more. When we arrived everything was ready and looked spectacular! Throughout the evening Leah and Leo were constantly there helping us, our guests, and all of our other vendors stay on schedule. Afterwards it was so great to be able to relax and chat with many of our guests as Leah and Leo packed up the remaining drinks and decor. They helped bring everything to our cars and the wrap up was so easy on our end.
A couple days later Leah sent us some photos and videos they’d captured, especially of the touching toasts and emotional moments. What a thoughtful gesture that kept the wedding high going.
Eternally grateful to have worked with Leah, Leo, and Yoko from Two Perfect Events for our wedding celebrations!

Siwei T. Sent on 05/16/2022Loved working with Leah and Leo!
I can't write enough how wonderful it was to work with Leah. I knew of her since she was a wonderful wedding planner for my friend and I saw how effortless she made the day seem for her that I had to use her services for my wedding! I chose the bookend services and that was extremely helpful as she provided amazing vendors to work with that fit within our budget and needs (ex. a caterer that made delicious food, but wasn't going to be unaffordable or our florist who could give us the look we wanted and work within the budget). All of our vendors were booked through her recommendations and we couldn't have been happier.
For the day of the wedding, Leah and Leo were a dream. They coordinated and managed everything where all my husband and I had to do was have fun and enjoy. We made 0 decisions other than to spend more time eating! They helped set up and also packed away items for us, which was so helpful for the next morning when the rental company came to pick up the rentals. I'm not sure how they managed to pull this off given that we were married in March 2022 and they were slammed by rescheduled 2020 + 2021 weddings, but we are super grateful that we picked them! -

I had the privilege of working with Leah and Leo from Two Perfect Events for a mutual client of ours!
The day ran like clockwork, and it's no exaggeration to say that Leo and Leah played a pivotal role in making it a success. As a wedding vendor myself, I understand the importance of working with a planner who not only brings a couple's vision to life but also takes care of their vendors. And Leah and Leo did just that, and more.
From the get-go, it was evident that they are true pros in the wedding planning game. Their attention to detail, creativity, and organization skills left no room for error. Not only did they ensure that every aspect of the wedding was executed flawlessly, but they also had an uncanny ability to ensure the entire vendor team had everything they needed to perform at their best. This level of support and collaboration is priceless and truly reflects positively on the couple's special day.
If you are looking for a stress-free wedding day, these are your people!! -

Jonathan G. Sent on 10/27/2021Professionalism at its finest
We have so much gratitude and admiration for the astounding job that Leah, Yoko, Olivia did at our wedding. They are tremendously skilled, experienced, and professional and their rates are frankly a bargain for the incomparable level of work that they provide.
From the very beginning when providing us a proposal, Leah demonstrated how professional and personalized her services are. It was clear she took the time to understand what we were looking for and the type of event we were trying to put together. We planned a market-style wedding that eschewed traditional catering and seating in favor of a free-flowing event with multiple food stands. We thought that the informality of such an event might be simpler but of course using multiple, non-traditional vendors only made things more complicated. Leah and her team made order from chaos, wrangling our many vendors and ensuring that we were properly staffed and prepared given all the moving pieces.
Perhaps the most notable thing about Leah is how unflappable she is. She is almost meditatively calm at all times, and no situation ever seemed to faze her. We truly valued this, when things got particularly busy or we found ourselves out of our element, Leah's calmness and problem solving ability always kept us grounded and reassured.
Leah also recommended vendors who we ultimately selected for our cake, DJ, and bartender, who were all extremely affordable and did terrific work. It's clear she keeps good company.
In the leadup to our wedding, there was a freak weather event in the forecast, which of course stressed us out, but Leah was there the whole way to help us plan contingencies, and on the day-of improvised brilliantly to adjust layouts to be more conducive to the inevitable rain. Also on the day-of, Leah, Yoko, and Olivia looked out for us the whole evening, checking in frequently to keep us well fed, keep drinks in our hands, and made us feel really special.
And on top of it all, like a magic trick, after the wedding Leah provided us with an album of photos and videos that it turns out she, Yoko, and Olivia had taken throughout the event, one final example of them going well above and beyond.
We cannot recommend TPE highly enough. They have a special place in our hearts for helping us pull off our very particular vision for our wedding and keeping us sane while doing it. -

Leah helped plan our wedding in September 2021 in the Bay Area. Super professional, responsive, and knowledgeable about the wedding planning process and industry. She was patient and empathetic during the initial consultation call and offered many ideas and inspiration to us as we figured out our wedding style and vision. On the day of the wedding, Leah and Sam were both amazing!! Everything was so smooth and under control - they checked in with us often and also made sure all the vendors had what they needed and all the guests were where they should be. I’m sure it wasn’t easy and there were probably many last minute issues they had to handle but nothing ever came to us as they were able to manage everything gracefully. Thank you Leah and Sam for helping us with our wedding! Would highly recommend Leah and her team! -

This might sound strange, but the way I know that Leah and Christina managed our wedding day perfectly is it could have been an absolute disaster behind the scenes, and we would never have known. To us it seemed like everything went great, but for all we knew, they could have been firefighting all day and just making sure that we never caught wind of it. They were just totally focused on ensuring we were enjoying each other and our guests. They were also a joy to work with throughout the planning process. I found them by searching for affordable wedding planners, and they made a great first impression by responding to my inquiry within hours. A conversation over the phone with Leah sealed the deal, as it was clear that she understood our priorities and would work to realize an event that felt right to us, as opposed to imposing any particular vision on us. TPE is extremely organized, well-connected with tons of *fantastic* local vendors, realistic and practical with their advice, and great at communicating at all points from initial contact to day-of. Plus, I think their help with referrals and rentals ultimately saved us more money than their fee. We couldn't have been more happy and relieved to have booked them. -

Leah and her team will make your wedding experience from planning to execution to getting home at night seamless and awesome! Tl;dr we purchased their full planning package and I would highly recommend doing so. Most people probably get married once, the cost is well worth her experience and dedication.
My wife and I are both busy professionals and frankly not the best at planning, we hired Leah (whom I'd met from volunteering at a junior sporting event five years prior) after reaching out for some advice on wedding planning. Her response was so helpful we had to ask if she could work with us!
From the start, she lit a fire under us with excellent planning materials and tireless support! I actually worry a lot WHEN DOES SHE SLEEP? Leah is very professional and extremely responsive, we had a very short timeline for our event and she explained clearly that this was possible and what we would need to do to make it happen.
Since we are new to wedding planning we didnt think about doing things like getting a videographer, however Leah did share feedback from couples she had helped before. Many regretted not having a videographer, ultimately we did get a videographer and the video is outstanding, I am so glad we did. This is just one small example of many decisions Leah helped guide us in.
One of the things I didn't consider initially when planning is the sheer number of vendors you need to make a full event, apart from the issue of coordination, you also want to make sure you have responsible, professional vendors. Leah has an extensive roster of highly professional vendors with storied portfolios, together with Leah coordinating they form a highly effective team!
In the week or so leading up, Leah helped us make a master sheet for coordinating day of and figuring out all the logistics ahead of time. We were able to take a couple days off before the wedding to get ready and relax prior to the event knowing we were well planned and in good hands.
The day of, Leah and her assistant Yoko made sure everything was going smoothly, working with vendors, setting up, making sure we eat dinner XD. They were involved in literally every aspect of the day and helping out family members. She even took us home in the evening! Truly we were so well taken care of the day was perfect in every aspect.
What are you waiting for? Hire Leah! She and her team work tirelessly and truly we are so thankful to have worked with them to make our perfect day a reality. -

Our wedding was an absolute success thanks to Leah and Christine's wonderful planning and guidance. Planning and postponing a wedding during the pandemic was incredibly stressful but Leah's team made it all possible. Without her amazing vendor referrals and incredible attention to detail, my husband and I might've given up on our dream wedding. 90% of our vendor team came from Leah's referrals and they were all super professional and most importantly super sweet. They were so easy to work with and they truly deserve awards for their quality of work and patience while dealing with the most indecisive bride! Leah was always there for me through all the panic attacks and frustration. Her team executed everything to perfection on the day of the wedding to all the details that I didn't even think of. I wouldn't choose any other coordinator over her. Thank you again for all of your help. -
