Since 2008, I have been dedicated to making dream weddings come to life. My passion for being a wedding planner stems from the joy and fulfillment that comes with creating unforgettable moments for couples on one of the most significant days of their lives. Being born and raised on the Central Coast is a true blessing. I've grown to appreciate this unique and quirky place I call home as the years have passed. When I'm not flexing my planning muscles you can probably find me still in the mix at a local event, concert or winery. I'm a dog mom, a tiny human mom, and a lover of all things Italian.

Buonasera Events was the perfect wedding planning team for our special day. Their communication style was efficient, helpful, and friendly throughout the entire process. The quality of their work and value was top-notch and classy - they truly made our wedding a wonderful experience. The beautiful floral arrangements and attention to every detail were standouts. I couldn't have had my special day without the incredible Monica, the most wonderful wedding coordinator I could have asked for.

Embark Event Design is a boutique luxury wedding planning company, crafting intentional and well executed events on the Central Coast of California. Sarah and her team strive to bring authenticity to your wedding in a way that you and your guests will never forget. Couples are guided every step of the way throughout the planning and design process. While no details are left unturned, Embark Event Design is able to seamlessly execute impeccable events and help create unique moments that will last a lifetime.

I had the pleasure of working with Embark Event Design for our wedding, and I cannot express how thrilled we were with the incredible job they did. From start to finish, Sarah went above and beyond to make our special day truly magical. Planning a wedding for 190 people with multiple spread-out locations within the venue was no small feat, but Sarah handled it with grace and professionalism. She expertly coordinated every aspect of the event, ensuring that every detail was executed flawlessly. Sarah also planned our welcome party, which also included 190 guests, and turned a Lakeside Dock into a magnificent rodeo / hoe-down location that guests were talking about for days! The result was a wedding that was nothing short of luxury and gorgeousness, exceeding our wildest dreams. The decor, the floral arrangements, and the overall ambiance were simply breathtaking. Sarah executed on our ideas and requests to create a wedding design that transformed the venue into a fairy tale setting. What truly set Sarah apart, though, was her ability to handle difficulties with ease. There were moments when unexpected challenges arose, such as difficult access to certain locations within the venue that limited transportation options. However, Sarah remained calm and composed, swiftly coming up with solutions that ensured the event continued seamlessly. Her problem-solving skills were truly remarkable, and it allowed us to relax and enjoy our day without any worries. Additionally, Sarah demonstrated remarkable people skills. She interacted effortlessly with our family members, some of whom posed challenges during the planning process, making everyone feel welcome and valued. Her ability to navigate interpersonal dynamics ensured that the atmosphere was harmonious and stress-free throughout the day. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sarah and her team to anyone planning a large wedding. If you're looking to create a chic, elegant event with beautiful touches and a fun vibe, they are the perfect choice. Their dedication, creativity, and exceptional organizational skills will turn your wedding dreams into a reality. Thank you, Embark Event Design, for making our wedding day the best day of our lives!

Wiere Weddings 

5.0

  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves San Luis Obispo, CA

Hey there! My name is Tiffany Wiere, the owner and lead planner of Wiere Weddings! I was born and raised in Australia, and moved to the USA 7 years ago to be with my husband. I am a hopeless romantic - hence moving halfway across the world for the man I adore 💗 I studied hospitality management at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa, and have been working as an events and catering manager ever since. My love for events, and especially weddings, is my passion. I love hearing each couples love story and how I can make their wedding day a reflection of them!

Background of Our Wedding: Our wedding was in early April 2024 in San Luis Obispo, CA with a bit less than 40 guests. However, a big challenge was that we had our Ceremony venue at a different location than the Reception venue. We really needed a coordinator that wouldn’t shy from this challenge. Booking & Before the Month-of: We found Tiffany on Zola & booked her almost right away. Tiffany was very transparent with pricing and expectations of service. She was ready to answer any questions we had. If you feel like you’re unsure what you’re looking for, she has an answer for you or at least help guide you to know what you might want for your big day. It is a big plus that her website with the booking process was easy and straightforward. We got Tiffany for Month-of Coordination but it feels like she was with us along the way of the almost-a-year planning process. The Month-of: This is when you will be working with Tiffany the most! I enjoyed every single meeting, phone calls, and brief texts with her. Meeting with Tiffany helps me pull together our vision much better day by day. She helped me believe that we could achieve it all. Since we’re from out of town, she made sure that we’d meet up whenever we could to ensure everything would be in place for the big day. The Rehearsal: Tiffany was indeed the first one to be at the venue with our binder printed out. (I most definitely forgot to print my binder for her.) She greeted all of my wedding party with the most warm welcome, which we appreciated very much and felt very comfortable working with her. We had specific requests on timing of the processional and she made it work! After the rehearsal, we definitely felt that we were very ready for the big day. The Day-of: It’s time for you to let go. Because I promise you, Tiffany and her awesome team got it! I saw her the morning of & I felt so calm because I knew Tiffany was going to perform her magic for us. Tiffany’s team magically set up our Ceremony Venue in just an hour. By the time I arrived at the venue, things were already in place & neat. It was a great feeling to see your vision coming alive. I remember I was able to just toss my car key to Tiffany’s team member & they immediately understood what I needed. Everything from then on was just very on-schedule and beautiful. Tiffany dealt with our families with the uttermost grace and patience. There was nobody I’d trust more than her to carry out our day. I did not have to worry about anything. We just enjoyed our day the most. The End: Tiffany somehow packed up everything neatly for us and even some of our vendors - like a fairy godmother. She sent us a long text of where things were and even returned things for us to our vendors. Exactly what we needed! Made our day-after MUCH better. Tiffany, Sean, & Katie - We cannot thank you enough. We can’t wait to plan our few-year anniversary with you. Keep on shining.

What can I say. I was always told weddings were stressful, expensive, and I’d regret not spending the money on something else. I believe without Kari, this might have been the case. My wedding was more beautiful than I could have imagined. Absolutely seamlessly executed!!! I don’t regret a cent of it because it exceeded every expectation!! I had two friends get married the same year I did. They saw how little stress I had, while they each opted to go at it alone and ran around like crazy. Both regretted not hiring a planner. BUT, I didn’t have just any planner though…I had Kari!!!

Weddings have been a part of my life since I was six years old. Growing up as the youngest of eight cousins, someone was always getting married. The summer of my 21st birthday, I started my career with weddings at an Alaskan lodge hosting ten weddings that first summer. Since then I've worked in floral design, photography, & the food/wine industries. In 2017, I toured California working event logistics at five different festivals, including Coachella.

If you are in need of a wedding planner or coordinator Rose is your girl!! Rose made our wedding planning process so easy and she was so on top of everything. She had so many helpful tools to keep us organized and was always there to answer all questions and concerns. Her communication was top tier. We could not have done it without her expertise and her and her assistants on wedding day were AMAZING! They handled everything with such ease and we were truly so impressed by them! We could not have asked for a better day and Rose was such a huge part of that. I would highly recommend booking Rose for your wedding day.

Teyanna and Essence of Flair was truly an answer to prayer. I had a vision of what I wanted for my wedding day and she executed it perfectly. From our first meeting, she listened attentively and made sure she understood the assignment. Teyanna never tried to push her own agenda, what I wanted was always top priority. She was patient and also provided insight that helped me not only in the decor of my venue but in other areas of my wedding. Teyana was absolutely amazing. My wedding ceremony and reception were perfectly decorated and they exceeded my expectations. When I walked into the ceremony and reception area I said this is what I wanted. Teyanna held my hand through the process. If there were negative things happening, I did not know because Teyana was so in control and positive. I got so many compliments on the decor. All I can say is Essence of Flair understood my vision and followed through. Teyanna went above and beyond. I would recommend her and Essence of Flair to anyone that is planning a wedding or any special event.

We can't say enough good things about Rose Event Company! Planning a wedding is never easy, but doing it in just 4 months, from across the country, and in a remote area with limited vendors seemed impossible—until we found Ashley. She took our vision of an intimate elopement with our closest family and friends, and turned it into the weekend of our dreams, managing every detail with perfection and making the entire process stress-free. From the moment we first spoke, I knew that Ashley was everything I was looking for. She is professional, organized, and full of creative ideas. Despite the challenges of our location, she found the perfect vendors to bring our vision to life. She understood our style and preferences right away and worked tirelessly to ensure everything was just as we envisioned. Even with the distance, Ashley was always available, responsive, and kept us updated every step of the way. She organized all the activities for our wedding weekend, including putting together our guest welcome bags. The entire weekend was a like a dream. Every single detail was meticulously executed, and we received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and seamless everything was. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, patient, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect, look no further than Ashley. She made what could have been a stressful and overwhelming process into something fun and memorable. Thank you, Ashley for making our dream wedding a reality!

Calmerin was the best investment we made for our wedding, hands down!!! Glennie and Ashton were incredible from the start to finish. We knew from the very first phone call that they were going to 100% on top of it, and we were right! The organization and detail of this team is top-notch. We hired them for Jade Package, which is similar to day-of-coordination (which is really more month-of), and was super important given our majority DIY wedding with 170 guests. Plus, Glennie and Ashton were such lovely, kind, and genuine people!! While the bulk of the details and communication was in the month leading up to our wedding, we had access to all of the planning docs as soon as we sent our deposit. The planning docs are AMAZING and so detailed, making us feel like we could transfer all of our knowledge/plans/thoughts to them. This was really important for us since we were doing the majority of the planning, and they executed phenomenally. We were also able to ask them for questions, such as a DJ recommendation. Glennie and Ashton were fantastic during the thorough venue walk-through, video calls, rehearsal with our wedding party, and on the day-of. We were able to drop off all of our wedding stuff (2 SUVs full) the morning of with set-up directions, and we showed up and it looked better than we had imagined/planned for! The tight set-up window from our venue was stressful, but Glennie and Ashton made sure everything was ready to go. They were so great at communicating with our vendors (we got many compliments!) They only texted us 1 small question the day-of, knowing that we were stressed and busy. They were AMAZING throughout the whole night, making sure we were on schedule and that we had everything we needed. We could go on and on about how amazing the team was and how happy we are that we worked with them. Best decision, book them before their calendars fill!

She effortlessly anticipated and solved every problem that popped up throughout our day and we were none the wiser that anything was amiss. She is the absolute sweetest and the hardest worker. Planning/coordinating with her felt like talking to an old friend. It was so apparent how much she cared about us as a couple and she did everything in her power to make our day perfect. If we ever plan a vow renewal, we will be calling our girl Juliette to help. You don’t want to miss out on the opportunity to work with Juliette and have the best, most stress-free event!

Awarded Best of Zola
We really wanted a meaningful ceremony that felt true to us, was deeply ritualistic and connected to nature, and yet not religious or too gendered/ traditional. Further, our officiant is originally not from the United States, and wedding culture is quite different in her home country- we wanted to best support her to confidently create and deliver a ceremony that would seal our marriage. Mischa walked us through every step with kindness and patience, offering great ideas but mostly, prompting us with ideas, structure, and thoughtful questions to encourage us to think outside the box to create a meaningful ceremony. The result was a ceremony that many people said was one of their favorite parts of the day- and for us, too! We will never forget how sacred that moment felt, and guests came up to us after and told us they had never seen a ceremony like it- that it was unique to us, exactly what we wanted! Mischa also helped us set up the day of and has a great eye- was able to execute our vision with elegance!

Weddings with Angie

Weddings with Angie is a full service event planning and coordination company in beautiful Santa Barbara County and all along the central coast. We also love our destination weddings as well! With over 18 years of experience in the event industry, let me help you create, plan and coordinate the wedding or event of your dreams!

Angie is simply amazing. My fiancée and I contacted many wedding coordinators to inquire about their services, but no one was as detailed, organized, and friendly as Angie. From our very first contact with Angie we knew we had made the right choice and would be in good hands. Although we hired Angie as a coordinator to tie up the loose end and coordinate the day of the wedding, she kept in constant communication since our first contact to understand our vision and help us plan our wedding. She truly went above and beyond to make sure our planning and wedding day went smoothly. My wife and I have a lot of experience planning events so we wanted to do the majority of the planning ourselves, but we had no idea how much work would go into planning a wedding. From our first email with Angie she clearly laid out her services, planning timeline, and also proactively provided information about our wedding venue (Hotel Californian) and all that would go into having our wedding there. To our surprise Angie already knew the staff at the Venue and also knew the ins and outs of planning a wedding there. She helped us plan the wedding down to the very small details. Angie is very knowledgeable and has great vendor relationships in Santa Barbara and the central coast. She was able to provide many vendor recommendations that worked out great and she provided us with honest feedback to allow us to choose the best vendors for us. Angie was lovely to work with. We had a large wedding list and a 28 person wedding party. Angie and her team not only were able to keep everyone on time, but they also made sure everyone was enjoying the day. Our friends and family still talk about how amazing our wedding was. Angie really made us feel like we have known her forever and we felt as if a best friend was planning our wedding and looking out for us. Hire Angie! You won’t regret it.

Andrina and her team at Confetti and Cocktails are the greatest wedding planners ever ever ever. We wanted an intimate wedding and I was worried that a planner would not be as invested as they would for a larger wedding - that could not have father from the truth. From the initial call, all the way through the wedding day and beyond, she has been our designer, therapist, and dream maker. Her professionalism, quick response times to my million questions, and advice on all things wedding related were so helpful during the planning process. She knows the best venues and has great relationships with vendors near and far. The design creation was so fun. She sent a personalized mood board of things we had discussed on the phone and I got to go through and choose the ideas that spoke to me. Then we got to meet at the showroom and put all the pieces together. The day of, Andrina came prepared with EVERYTHING you could possibly ever need. She managed all the vendors and helped everyone stick to the timeline. All I had to do the day of was enjoy getting married. Everything went so smoothly and the day was exactly what we had hoped and planned for. I literally cannot put into words just how wonderful of a person Andrina is and how talented she is. You can tell it is not just her job, but also her passion. If you are looking for a planner, I recommend her a million times over.

At our core, we embody a design-centric ethos that transcends the ordinary in the world of wedding planning. We are more than a full-service wedding planning company—we're storytellers of love and artisans of celebration, crafting unique, imaginative events that resonate with experience, style, and effortless luxury. We believe that weddings should be immersive experiences that mirror the essence of the couple's journey and their distinct personalities. Our speciality lies in intertwining stories, infusing them with creativity, and transforming them into memorable moments.

My experience working with Nicole was amazing! She is hands down the best planner/ design stylist in the wedding industry! I work in the wedding industry as a wedding photographer so I was a little particular with my wedding planning needs. Nicole has been amazing since our first virtual meet up! Not long after our first virtual meet up she drove down to see our wedding space in person and took lots of videos and photos and even measurements. Nicole is amazing at what she does and is so detailed! We discussed placement of items briefly and not long after nicole sent a mood board with photos of the space with items she thought would look best! I was so shocked and excited that she went above and beyond to give me a visual of what the space would look like. Throughout the year leading up to our wedding , Nicole was extremely responsive to all of my emails and I loved that so much about her. Communication is so important to me and Nicole stayed in communication all year long. Nicole found all of my rentals that would match the vibe of my wedding and communicated with all of my vendors for me. I honestly would not have survived the wedding planning process without her. Nicole is so detailed with her planning & designing and sent me a final design board with everything we had been discussing all year with exact pictures of our rentals and photoshopped mock ups of what my florals would look like. Nicole listened to all my wedding needs and wants and created the most beautiful design board absolutely nailing my vision! The day of my wedding I was blown away at how beautiful everything turned out! Although it looked almost identical to the design board she found ways to still surprise and add unique touches to the design. The day of I didn’t realize things weren’t completed( on my end. Some signage didn’t get made) but Nicole improvised last minute and rearranged some items so that I wasn’t even able to tell. Nicole is truly so talented and I’m so happy I found her!! She is so sweet, creative, talented, and communicative and I will forever be recommending her to everyone! 10/10 recommend nicole with Nicole Leza Design! P.s my husband says he is forever grateful to you for keeping my stress levels down! Wedding planning is stressful and you made it so enjoyable for us. If you want a stress free beautiful wedding, hire Nicole.

From coordinating with all of our vendors, to handling last minute snags, Margaret was a consummate professional with impeccable resourcefulness.
