I've been in the room. Now I'm running it.

HI I'M KAIYA!

This wasn't a career change. It was always the plan.

I graduated with a degree in Event Management and have spent every year since building toward this — assisting some of Northern California's most respected planners at luxury properties, working in event sales at San Francisco venues, and learning the wedding industry from every angle possible. I know what a venue coordinator needs from a planner. I know what vendors are looking for on a timeline. I know what it feels like to be in the room when everything clicks — and I've built KSE to create that experience every single time.

On April 10th, 2026, I went all in. KSE became my full-time focus — and the couples I work with became my full-time priority. I built this business around the work I love most: partial planning for couples who have a vision and need a true partner to carry it. Not a coordinator who shows up the day of. A planner who's been in it with you, who knows every vendor, every detail, every timeline beat — and who can walk into any room and take the wheel completely.

I work across the Bay Area, Napa, Sonoma, Tahoe, and beyond — and I bring the same standard of care to an intimate celebration at a Napa vineyard as I do to a grand production at a San Francisco landmark. Every wedding is different. Every couple deserves someone who treats it that way.

CREATING MEMORIES, CRAFTING PERFECTION.
