A boutique Orange County Wedding Planning and Coordination Studio


Sophia Katarina Events offers wedding planning and coordination services in Orange County

Our approach is deeply personal. Before a single vendor is contacted or a color palette chosen, we take the time to understand who you are as a couple. Your story, your style, and how you want your guests to feel. That foundation is what transforms a beautiful wedding into an unforgettable one. We are known for the details others overlook, the ones guests feel without realizing why a celebration just works.

Hi, I’m Sophia, your go-to person for turning
ideas into a wedding that feels like you!

Southern California Wedding Planner and Coordinator

I started Sophia Katarina Events to create a boutique planning experience rooted in trust, connection, and thoughtful care at the center of every celebration.

My role is part creative partner, part guide. I’m someone you can bounce ideas off of, ask the big questions, and trust with the details. Together, we refine your vision, make confident decisions, and I support you every step of the way.

For couples envisioning a full wedding weekend or multi-day celebration, this experience ensures every event feels cohesive, intentional, and seamlessly executed. From welcome parties & rehearsal dinners to yacht days & farewell brunches, we oversee the planning, design direction, and production of each gathering from beginning to end.

“Her creativity truly knows no bounds—she has an incredible ability to take a concept and turn it into something meaningful, elevated, and visually stunning.

What I appreciate most is her eye for design—every detail she touches feels intentional and elevated. She’s not only an expert at curating beautiful aesthetics, but she also creates a seamless flow that ties everything together perfectly, from color palettes and textures to tablescapes and layouts.”

“She elevated every piece of our wedding day, from table decor to seating to flowers. She also understood our vision exactly…focused on spending time with family and friends, not on long speeches, dances, and unnecessary formalities.

Our wedding was so perfect, we didn’t have to worry about a thing and were in the moment the whole time. I cannot express enough how important Sophia was to making it the experience that we dreamed of.”
