Yesterday, two daredevils climbed hundreds of feet up a skyscraper to pull off a proposal the whole internet is talking about. 😳❤️

We respect the boldness — but you don’t need a harness (or a death wish) to make your moment unforgettable.

We build your love story from the ground up, so your proposal can soar — wherever in the world you say it. Local, destination, rooftop, beach, mountaintop — if you can dream it, we can design it.

Love knows no limits. Neither do we.

Before you say “I do,” there’s paperwork to handle first 📋✨

Most couples don’t realize there are TWO types of marriage licenses in California — and choosing the right one can mean the difference between a private ceremony and a public record.

Swipe through for everything you need to know about getting your California marriage license: public vs. confidential, fees, where it’s valid, how long it lasts, and who actually files it after your ceremony (hint: it’s not you).

Save this for when you start planning your elopement or micro wedding 💌

An intimate micro wedding overlooking the Southern California coast—designed with intention, heart, and meaning. From the groom walking the aisle with his mother to heartfelt vows exchanged beneath sunlit skies, every moment of this celebration was deeply personal. Romantic florals in burgundy, blush, and peach framed the ocean view, creating a ceremony space that felt both elevated and emotional.

Designed and produced by Modernday Event Design

If this photo captures anything, it’s exactly how I feel about the year behind me and the one ahead! 🪩✨

As I reflect on this past year, I’m filled with overwhelming gratitude for a career that brings me such profound joy. Every surprise proposal, intimate elopement, micro wedding, and milestone celebration has been a reminder of how blessed I am to do work that fills my soul.

The beautiful moments I’ve witnessed—nervous excitement before a proposal, tears of joy at an engagement party, the quiet intimacy of couples exchanging vows with their closest loved ones—these are the experiences that make my heart full. And the lovely people I meet along the way? They’re not just clients; they become part of my story, my purpose, my why.

Southern California and beyond, I’ve had the privilege of creating unforgettable celebrations in the most stunning settings, each one unique and deeply personal. This work isn’t just about planning events—it’s about honoring love in its most authentic forms and being trusted with someone’s most precious moments.

As we step into 2026, I’m bubbling over with excitement for what’s ahead. More love stories to tell, more joyful celebrations to craft, more couples to connect with. Here’s to another year of doing what sets my soul on fire—and celebrating it all with the same energy as this disco ball moment!

To new beginnings, beautiful moments, and the magic that awaits. 🎊

This Christmas, my heart is full of gratitude for all those who trusted me with their most cherished moments this year. 🎄✨

From orchestrating surprise marriage proposals under Southern California sunsets to designing intimate elopements and micro weddings, each celebration reminded me of why I fell in love with event planning. To the clients who traveled across state lines, who journeyed miles from home to celebrate here—your trust meant everything to me.

I’ve been blessed to witness the joy in a partner’s eyes during a perfectly timed proposal, to help families gather for milestone birthdays, and to create engagement celebrations that reflected each couple’s unique love story. Every detail I planned, every vendor I coordinated, every moment I helped craft—I poured my whole heart into it because your stories became part of mine.

Thank you for choosing Modernday Event Design to be part of your journey. You didn’t just hire an event planner; you welcomed me into the most meaningful chapters of your lives, and that’s a gift I’ll never take for granted.

Wishing you a Christmas filled with the same joy you’ve brought into my life this year. 💫

XO

When your ceremony backdrop is the Pacific Ocean and your aisle is lined with rose petals 🤍✨

This clifftop celebration was everything an intimate wedding should be—timeless, romantic, and breathtaking. Our couple said “I do” at one of Southern California’s most sought-after private venues, where stunning views meets coastal elegance.

The design? Classic white florals with soft sage accents that perfectly complemented the natural beauty of the setting. Sheer fabric drapery at the gazebo entrance danced in the ocean breeze, creating those dreamy, visual moments every couple hopes for.

And that Southern California weather? Absolute perfection—clear skies, gentle breezes, and golden light that made the moment feel like magic.

This is why intimate weddings hold such a special place in my heart. When you strip away the excess, you’re left with pure emotion, eye-catching design, and a day that’s entirely, authentically yours.

If you’re dreaming of an intimate celebration overlooking the Pacific, let’s create something unforgettable together.

Designing magic in unexpected places ✨ This intimate wine cave micro wedding proves that the right venue doesn’t need much—just intentional design that honors the space.

We chose rich olive lamour linens to create stunning contrast against the ancient fieldstone walls, while letting the cave’s natural drama shine. White anemones with their signature black centers brought an elevated, organic elegance—sophisticated without being overdone. Sand wax and taper candles transformed the moody interior into pure romance.

For couples craving something beyond the traditional ballroom, wine cave weddings offer unmatched intimacy and atmosphere. Whether you’re a Southern California couple seeking a unique celebration or a destination bride dreaming of California wine country, spaces like this prove that micro weddings can be just as breathtaking as grand affairs.

UNPOPULAR OPINION: Your wedding day should NOT feel like hosting a family reunion 🚨

If you’re dreaming of exchanging vows with your actual favorite humans (not your mom’s college roommate’s daughter), you’re part of the anti-bride revolution sweeping SoCal ✨

Forget the 200-person stress fest. Picture this instead:

* Sunset vows at a historic courthouse with killer architecture 📸
* Chef-inspired family-style dinner under string lights 🍽️
* Food truck serving Korean-Mexican fusion (because why not?) 🌮
* Actually ENJOYING conversations with your guests 💕

The best part? You’ll have money left over for that dream honeymoon AND a house down payment 🏠

Ready to plan something meaningful instead of traditional? Head to our blog (link in bio) for the full guide to intimate SoCal weddings that actually feel like YOU.

Your love story deserves better than cookie-cutter 💍
