Khanh P. Duong Weddings & Events
Your wedding bestie. Unofficial bridesmaid. Official hype woman.
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 didn’t land here by accident. And I don’t believe in coincidences.
Spotted: You, searching for a pro who can actually handle it all.
Hi, I’m Khanh. Yes, that’s me! 🙋🏻♀️ Small town girlie turned wedding planner, Vietnamese-speaking emcee, proud USC Trojan (Fight On!), and self-proclaimed life of the party based in Orange County, California.
By day, I manage million-dollar budgets, complex timelines, and high-stakes big pharma projects like it’s second nature. Analyst. Strategist. Professional problem solver. The kind who sees three steps ahead and already has Plan B, C, and D ready before anyone else realizes there’s a problem.
By weekend? I architect experiences.
Can I plan your wedding? Yep.
Can I craft a ceremony that makes people laugh, love, and ugly cry in the best way? Absolutely.
Can I turn up a reception and keep the dance floor packed all night? Without question.
You name it, I’ve got it. I’ve produced intimate tropical escapes and grand ballroom celebrations. Nearly a decade in high-production events has sharpened my instincts, elevated my standards, and wired me to execute at a level that feels effortless even though we both know effortless takes serious work.
And here’s where the mama energy comes in.
I protect my couples.
I advocate for your vision.
I set boundaries.
I manage personalities.
I fix problems quietly.
You get to dance. I handle the rest. Yes, my work has been featured multiple times on The Knot. But what matters more is this: my couples feel safe, supported, and completely taken care of.
I’m your unofficial bridesmaid (with authority). Your wedding’s strategic advantage. Your calm in the chaos.
Your hype woman with a master timeline and mic 🎤
Boss energy. Big heart. Zero tolerance for mediocrity.
If we’re doing this, we’re doing it right.
XOXO,
Your future wedding bestie 🩷
More about your girl!
✓ At my core, I’m a storyteller. Always have been. Always will be. Every timeline, every ceremony script, every transition, it all starts with story.
✓ My philosophy is simple: tell timeless, authentic, elevated stories for forward-thinking, creative couples who aren’t afraid to make bold choices and actually mean it.
✓ You deserve more than “just a translator.” I’m not here to stand quietly on the sidelines. I’m all in… invested, intentional, and fully committed to telling your story in a way that lands.
✓ I have an unapologetic obsession with a good rom-com, hole-in-the-wall dining spots, and any love-related reality TV (Love Is Blind, Single’s Inferno… plz don’t judge me). I study love for fun.
✓ I come from a rich entertainment and high-production event background — documentaries, short films, TV shows, live productions. I understand pacing, presence, and how to hold a room.
✓ And yes, I am 100% Type A. ENTJ. Highly strategic. Fierce negotiator. Big “we execute at excellence” energy.

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.

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 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.

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.
