Currant Events

If you’re looking for a wedding or event planner, look no further. Linda and Colleen at Current Events are the best out there. We contacted them out of desperation when the stress of planning our own San Francisco wedding starting spiraling out of control. Little did we know they would guide us to the most magical night of our lives, and even make it fun (I know, everyone says you can’t enjoy your own wedding — it’s not true!)
When we contacted them, we already had a couple pieces in place. We had a venue and the shell of a budget, but that was about it. Linda and Colleen helped us develop a theme, think through all aspects of the evening, and organize all the details.
Like any great event planner, they helped us with the bigger items, like selecting a caterer, florist, and live band within our budget. What really sets Currant Events apart is their attention to detail. They really sweat the small stuff — color coordination, signage, menus, lights, decorations inside and out, and all manner of accoutrements. Colleen even went as far as to sew custom pillows so we could line an outside bench at the venue to provide a welcoming atmosphere to our guests.
They never let us get behind schedule. We would routinely receive checklists from them covering outstanding items, and they diligently followed up with all involved parties to keep things moving smoothly. For example, in one instance Linda ensured that the caterer had amended their rental order when our guest list increased at the last minute. As invoices started arriving from vendors, they meticulously checked all the details to ensure there were no mistakes.
What struck me most about Linda and Colleen was their «anything is possible» attitude. They never told us something couldn’t be done, was unrealistic, or wouldn’t work. If an idea was out of our budget, they would find creative ways to achieve a similar result on a smaller scale. If a plan was squashed by the venue, they would find another way.
On the day-​of, they ensured our wedding went off without a hitch. During the entire event, all we saw were each other, happy guests, and beautiful surroundings. It was so smooth I almost forgot Linda and Colleen were orchestrating over thirty staff and vendors behind the scenes. After the event, I learned that we had nearly run out of bourbon for our signature Manhattan cocktail. Linda had driven to the nearest corner store and replenished the bar before catastrophe struck. Of course these things happen, but it’s the mark of an expert when no one notices. Linda and Colleen are experts.
Call Currant Events for your next wedding or party. It doesn’t get any better.
p. s. As of writing, they still don’t have a website. Your best bet is to call.
