That personal touch
Kaeli takes the time to really get to know each couple first, so the day reflects their relationship, personality and style, whether that’s modern, romantic, rustic, classic or a little whimsical.

Kaeli Garcia
Principal planner and event designer
Kaeli Garcia started Luna Soirée Events in Ann Arbor in 2008. The name is hers all the way through: Luna for the moon she says she prays on, and Soirée for the “little soirees” she threw for friends long before planning was her job.
She has always been the one looking for a reason to bring people together. Today she leads the company as principal planner and event designer, building weddings and celebrations that tell each couple’s story the way they see it.
She calls her team modern romantics, and what they care about most is the mood: a room that feels warm and inviting, and brings people together.

From the booth
Kaeli and the Luna Soirée Events team are true professionals, and an absolute joy to work with. They take care of all the heavy lifting, which frees me to focus on what I do best: the entertainment. For anyone looking for a wedding planner, I can’t recommend them highly enough.

The Luna Soirée promise
Planned with heart, run with precision.
II
Collaboration
She brings in event professionals she trusts, then gives every vendor room to know the couple and do their best work. Her gracious, diplomatic way of running a team keeps everyone in step.
III
Attention to detail
Design and logistics sit underneath every level of service, along with day-of management and production, so the months before the wedding feel fun and calm rather than stressful.
What they plan
Weddings first, and every soirée after.
Every level of service includes design, logistics and day-of management. Beyond weddings, the team plans family celebrations and corporate events, and runs a second team in Austin.

Menzo Weddings × Luna Soirée Events
A preferred vendor, and a familiar face.
Luna Soirée is a Menzo Weddings preferred vendor. We’ve worked together on lots of different projects over the years, including Katie and Dennis’s wedding at Revel Run: Kaeli planned the day, and Dave played it from the ceremony guitar to the last song.
