About Sara Elizabeth Events

Sara Elizabeth Events

Wedding Planner

I am a lifetime Central Coast resident, born and raised in Templeton. I have spent most of my career in the hospitality industry. It wasn't until I started a job in catering management that I realized I had a passion for weddings. I continued doing catering management for 2 years, and then I started assisting all of my favorite wedding planners for 2 years. Most recently I landed a job in Venue Management and that is when I knew I wanted my own wedding planning business. In my free time I love to go hiking, lift weights and spend time with my family, including our 4 rescue pups. I look forward to meeting you!

I believe wedding planning should feel joyful, organized and completely you. With a calm, detailed driven approach, I help couples turn their ideas into seamless beautiful celebrations from the first planning call to the last dance.

In three words: Collaborative, Honest, Supportive

Fantastic experience
We got married on the 15th of August in 2026 with Sara as our planner/coordinator. With her direction, the entire experience went smoothly and flawlessly! She kept us on schedule the entire day, and wrangled all of the various vendors. On top of all of that, Sara was instrumental when only 8 months before the wedding our original venue canceled on us - She went above and beyond the call of duty and was the first person to notify us when it happened. Sara was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end, and her familiarity with the entire wedding process kept us calm through all the planning and execution. We would whole heartedly recommend Sara to any couples getting married! Thank you, Sara!

Best Wedding Coordinator we could've asked for!
From the very beginning Sara was so attentive to each detail we requested and transparent on what would work best. She had a great understanding of our venue and helped our vision come to life. Any questions or concerns were quickly handled. We had such an amazing and stress free day thanks to Sara! Thank you again!

The best
From the start, Sara Elizabeth Events made planning our event feel simple and stress-free. She responded to our questions fast and always had a warm, positive attitude that made us feel heard. What impressed us most was how thorough she was with every detail—she took the time to understand what mattered to us and brought our vision to life without cutting corners. On our event day, she went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, and her genuine personality kept us calm and happy throughout. We felt like we were in great hands from our first conversation to the moment we said our vows. We'd absolutely recommend Sara Elizabeth Events to any couple looking for a planner who truly cares about making their day special.

Bride
Our wedding planning was full of a lot of crazy twists and turns that were completely out of our hands, and Sara was not only a support and advocate for us as the bride and groom but became one for our entire family. Sara is professional, poised and amazing at what she does, it's truly a gift! She went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was set up as our vision, provided great recommendations for vendors and went above and beyond even after the wedding weekend was over to make sure everything was wrapped up and taken care of. Many vendors we were working with told us that they looked forward to working with Sara because of her communication and smooth wedding day flow. You'd be lucky to have her!!!

Bride!
Sara Elizabeth Events understood exactly what we wanted for our wedding day and she immediately went to work making sure it would happen! She immediately answered all of my questions and providing detailed updates and thoughtful suggestions that made planning feel manageable rather than stressful. On the day of the wedding, Sara went above and beyond! She helped organize the set up of our arch while simultaneously setting up my vision for the cocktail hour and reception decor and layout. All the while, she constantly checked in with me to see what I needed and how she could help. What impressed me most was how she handled every request, no matter how small, and brought our vision to life in ways we hadn't even imagined. As someone who worries about everything, I felt completely at ease knowing Sara was there to help. I wasn't worried about a single thing and truly enjoyed every moment of the day, thanks to Sara! She truly knocked it out of the park, and we couldn't recommend her more highly. SHE IS AMAZING!!!!
