About Fran
Frances ("Fran") Steiner is the owner of Events By Fran. She started off coordinating and planning several of her friends' weddings, wedding showers, baby showers, and anniversaries for over 5 years as a hobby. In the year of 2011, she received her certification in international event and wedding planning from QC School of Event School. In 2016, she started her own event company focusing on clients who needs a budget-friendly wedding, bridal showers, anniversaries, rehearsal day/dinner, private parties, birthday parties and corporate parties. She is always making sure her clients are happy and enjoying their social event without worrying about the little details.
Fran and her EBF team is a small event and wedding planning company. We handle the logistics, budget, planning, designing, and coordination of events such as weddings, bridal showers, anniversary parties, baby showers, birthday parties, and corporate holiday parties. We are known to be specialized in beautiful outdoor weddings at wineries, ranches, historical parks and private homes. But, a lot of people don’t know that we are specialized in indoor luxurious events and small intimate social parties. No event is ever too small or too big! Personally, I always try to go above and beyond to my clients and their events. I like to bring in my 15 years of creative marketing and web design background skills.
Background: She graduated from Cal State Long Beach, California with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (Option in Computer Engineering) in May 2000. She went on with her career in Marketing (Print/Online Advertising) and Web Designing for over 15 years of work experience with AOL Time Warner Cable, Cypress Retail Group (Commercial Real Estate Brokerage), Sweater.com/One Girl Who (Apparel Industry), and SAGE Publications. She’s always been the creative party planner for all of the companies’ holiday parties, customer service recognition/appreciation parties, and birthday parties.
Personal Message from Owner: Thank you for visiting my page. When I'm not planning an event or attending an event, you'll find me playing with my two energetic boys, boxer dog Boss, and husband, John. Some of my other things that I love to do is go traveling, hiking, swimming, watching movies, coffee or spa days with my girlfriends, dinner with friends, enjoying a glass of Pinot or Sangria, Thanks for reading my little message. Love, Fran
