Who we are

Hi, I'm Kiana.

I'm the founder of Key Essentials, an Oakland-based event planning company. My sweet spot? Influencer events and community gatherings — the kind of experiences that bring people together, create real moments, and look incredible doing it.

I grew up in the Oakland Bay Area and I'm deeply rooted in this community. I understand the culture, the creators, and what it takes to produce an event that feels authentic — not just aesthetic. Whether I'm producing a brand activation for a Bay Area influencer, styling a community pop-up in East Oakland, or planning an intimate birthday celebration in Temescal, every event gets the same attention and intention.

Key Essentials also specializes in corporate events, weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, graduation parties, non-profit galas, and day-of coordination. Whatever the occasion — we handle every detail from concept to cleanup so you can be fully present for every moment.

Based in Oakland. Serving the entire SF Bay Area. Ready to create something unforgettable?
