Founder, Creative Director, Principal Planner

MEET VANESSA

A visionary inspired by your vision, Vanessa Vierra believes the best celebrations feel holistic, contextual, and integrative. The details always matter, whether that’s how that sparkling California light plays off your color palette, how your table linens speak to the storied interior design inside your favorite San Francisco restaurant, or how the nuances of your relationship are meaningfully woven through your wedding weekend. Vanessa, a left- and right-brained maestro who directs and designs multi-day events in California, Mexico, and abroad, excels at both the creative and logistical elements of the planning process, ideating and executing for both form and function. The foundation of her approach, however, is you. She wants to know the full picture—how you want to feel, how you envision the days before and after the wedding, what lights you up—so she can craft an experience with excellence and resonance.

  • “Without sounding too dramatic, hiring Vanessa and her team to plan our wedding was one of the best decisions I have made in recent memory, outside of marrying my husband. She took the most vague and scattered breadcrumbs we gave her and turned them into the most perfect day of our lives. That's not an exaggeration.”

    Emily & Sean

  • “As a photographer, I always feel at ease when Vanessa is leading the team. Her positive, assertive energy brings a sense of calm and confidence to the entire wedding day; her eye for design and detail is exceptional; and she has a natural ability to bring a couple’s vision to life in a way that feels intentional and uniquely them. She shows up for her clients like none other. Most importantly, she takes great care of everyone involved—couples, guests, and vendors alike. Vanessa is the kind of planner who elevates an entire wedding experience for everyone involved, and anyone would be lucky to have her by their side.”

    Ali Beck, Photographer

  • “As a same-sex couple, we felt so supported and celebrated throughout the entire planning process. Vanessa made us feel seen, heard, and completely taken care of. Every detail was thoughtful, elegant, and full of heart. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide us through such a meaningful time in our lives.”

    Julia & Mallory

  • Vanessa's standout trait is how evident her care is for each client and above all, she really wants the bride and groom to have an amazing, stress-free experience. I appreciate that she tries to push boundaries in design and think of new ways to create unique experiences for every client.
