Private Celebrations

Your celebration, handled with care.

Some events only happen once — and they shouldn’t feel like a second job. Whether you’re planning a wedding, retirement celebration, a milestone birthday, or a graduation your whole family has been waiting for, Lucera is here to take the weight of coordination off your shoulders completely. You bring the vision. I handle everything else.

Lucera works with private hosts across Whatcom County to bring calm, structure, and genuine care to every gathering. I handle the coordination, the vendor communication, the timeline, and the on-site oversight — so that on the day itself, you’re not the one fielding calls from the caterer. You’re the one celebrating.

When you work with Lucera Events, here is what I take off your plate:

  • Researching and vetting vendors so you are not spending hours on Google
  • Building a timeline and run-of-show so nothing falls through the cracks
  • Confirming vendors leading up to the event and keeping everyone on the same page
  • Handling the behind-the-scenes coordination so your guests only see the good part
  • Showing up on the day so you can be fully present instead of managing logistics

You bring the vision. I handle the moving parts.

Not sure where to start? That’s exactly what I’m here for.

Day-Of Support

Investment begins at $1,500

You’ve done the hard work of planning. On the day itself, hand it to me. I’ll manage every vendor, every timeline hiccup, and every behind-the-scenes detail — so you walk in as a guest at your own event.

  • Custom run-of-show and event timeline
  • Vendor confirmation and coordination beginning 30 days prior

Wedding Coordination

Pricing based on scope — let’s talk

Weddings are in a category of their own. Lucera offers wedding coordination and planning support tailored to the specific scale, timeline, and vision of your day.

  • Initial consultation to understand your vision, guest count, and timeline
  • Custom coordination plan scoped to your wedding
  • Vendor communication and confirmation
  • Rehearsal dinner coordination (if applicable)
  • Full run-of-show for ceremony and reception
  • On-site coordination from setup through send-off
  • Post-event wrap-up support

Not sure if your event or budget fits? It probably does. Services are flexible — whether you need light-touch support for a smaller gathering or full coordination for something more complex. Reach out and let’s talk through it.
