Your wedding bestie. Unofficial bridesmaid. Principal Wedding Planner
Multicultural Weddings · Vietnamese + English · California + Worldwide
Hi, I’m Khanh! And hopefully, your new favorite third wheel!
If you landed on this page, chances are you’re looking for the Queen of logistics, master of operations and the visionary behind so many elevated multicultural weddings.
You are not here by accident. And I don’t believe in coincidences.
Spotted: Someone who’s tired of juggling five vendors when one powerhouse can do it all.
Hi, it’s me, Khanh 👋🏻I am a seasoned wedding planner, professional Master of Ceremonies and lifelong storyteller based in Southern California and trusted by couples around the world.
My work lives at the intersection of three things I know exceptionally well: people, production and story.
Behind the scenes, I'm the strategist anticipating what happens three steps from now. Behind the microphone, I'm the host who understands when a room needs energy, when tradition deserves reverence and when the moment simply needs space to breathe.
As a Vietnamese-American woman, cultural fluency isn't something I learned for weddings. It's something I've lived. That perspective allows me to create celebrations where generations connect, traditions feel intentional and no guest feels like they're experiencing someone else's wedding.
And sometimes, that means couples fly me across the country or around the world because the person guiding their celebration isn't something they're willing to compromise on.
Your wedding should feel extraordinary. My job is to make extraordinary feel effortless.
If we’re doing this, we’re doing it right.
XOXO,
Your future wedding bestie 🩷 🩷
You heard it here first 👑

If only I could get married all over again just so I can spend more quality time with the literal earth angel that is you. You are literally worth every penny and honestly more.

You brought calm to my chaos, clarity to my overwhelm, and every detail I paid attention to, you paid even more — just to make sure it was exactly right. Because of you, we got to be present. We got to breathe. We got to soak in every beautiful moment of a beautiful day — knowing you were there, holding it all together.

You’ve got it down perfectly! We’ve been hearing for days from our families and friends that they absolutely loved your ceremony, speech, and words. You are a breath of fresh air, so warm, kind, and you made us feel like longtime friends.

You were never just a "vendor" to us; you became family. I remember the morning of our day when I was feeling overwhelmed and stressed. But as soon as I saw you working your magic, not only did I feel starstruck, but I also felt all my worries melt away because I knew you would take care of us.

We are so awe of how effortlessly you transitioned between wedding coordinator and emcee. Khanh, you are a machine. One of the greatest gifts you gave us was the ability to be fully present on our wedding day. We didn’t have to worry about a thing, and everything flowed so smoothly. That alone meant the world to us.
