About The Instructor

Rebecca Calagna

I grew up with a passion for throwing creative and detailed events; it’s in my blood. Any excuse for a themed celebration and I was there helping my Mother along the way. Seeing the joy it brought my Mother as well as anyone who attended one of her fantastic gatherings laid the path to my future as a Wedding Planner. Planning my own “Happily Ever After” was the most exciting time of my life. It was my desire to have my wedding not only be romantic and beautiful, but to create an ambiance that made my guests feel the emotions of that day by laughing, crying and having the time of their lives. I wanted my wedding to tell our story! I knew then and there it was my desire to help other Bride’s and Event hosts enjoy their day to the fullest without having the stress and worry that goes along with executing an event. After earning my Bachelor’s (2001) and Master’s Degree (2003) from California State University, Fullerton, I became an Accredited Wedding Planner through the Association of Bridal Consultants. I have most recently won The Knot Best of Weddings 2019 and Wedding Wire Couples’ Choice 2019. With 15 years’ experience, I can promise you this: I will go above and beyond to ensure that your event is my sole focus and is perfectly planned to the last detail! 

You’re Style. My Expertise. A Perfectly Planned Event.
