Meet the Team

Brooke Gustafson
Lead Planner & Owner
Brooke has over 20 years of hospitality experience, with the last 19+ years of her career spent focusing specifically on event planning. After graduating college with a degree in Communications and Media, Brooke decided to move from her home state of Connecticut to the Bay Area. She was drawn to all of the natural beauty that Northern California has to offer, from the dramatic coast line and beaches to the vineyards and mountains. “The scenery here is like no other place in this country.”
Sara Sugrue
Event Planner
Born in San Francisco and raised in the beautiful Wine Country. She has always been a planner by nature with ninja style organizational skills. Growing up in a large family, she was and continues to be the sibling who is called upon to help with showers, birthdays, weddings. Spending four years working at a Sonoma County winery, Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards, only intensified Sara’s love for events. From there Sara moved on to the event industry where she has spent the past 20 yeears.
Sarah Aylward
Event Planner
Sarah and Brooke started wedding planning on the very same day at the very same place, Viansa Winery, where Sarah stayed for two years (and helped coordinate 80+ weddings) before branching out to consult with various planners in San Francisco and Wine Country. During this time, Sarah also managed events for Sage Catering which allowed her to work at lots of different venues on various types of events. However, her one true (professional) love has always been wedding planning.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Do you offer day-of wedding coordination?
    2. While we do not offer 'day of' coordination, we do offer a 'basic' planning package which is perfect for couples who want to plan their wedding on their own, but want a professional to manage the final details and ensure your wedding day coordination is perfect.
  2. How many people from your team will be on-site during my event?
    3. Standard packages include your wedding planner plus one event assistant. Our assistants have almost 20 years of experience and are very experienced wedding planners themselves. If the scope of your event requires more than two of us to be onsite, we can discuss adding additional help.
  3. Do I pay vendors directly, or will you handle payment coordination?
    4. Yes, you will pay all of your vendors directly. We will assist in this process, as well as keep track of when payments are due.
