About Sara Elizabeth Events
Sara Elizabeth Events
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

Literally the BEST
Sara was our wedding planner and did such an amazing job! From start to finish, her communication was excellent. She was responsive, organized, and always made sure we knew what was happening throughout the planning process. On the wedding day, Sara did a great job executing everything and keeping things moving smoothly. Having someone we could trust to handle all the details took so much stress off of us and allowed us to actually enjoy our day. We’re so grateful for all the time, effort, and care she put into making our wedding special. We would absolutely recommend Sara to anyone looking for a wedding planner!

Sara is the BEST
Sara is hands down the best wedding planner out there! We could not have asked for a more hands-on, knowledgeable planner for our special day. From the start, she was extremely responsive and on top of everything. She even started working with us before we had committed to her services by sending venue recommendations. We felt so safe in Sara's capable hands! She makes you feel like you're the only couple she's working with - her response time is unmatched and she remembered every little detail for our wedding. She went above and beyond to plan our welcome dinner, too! Sara also recommended incredible vendors who were just as amazing as she is! Sara made sure we were able to enjoy our wedding day with no stress. She ran a tight ship with all of the vendors and made sure the guest experience was nothing short of spectacular, while leaving us out of the nitty-gritty details. She was so attentive to us on our wedding night, always offering to get us a drink when our glasses were looking empty and making sure we ate enough. She also let us take our time enjoying our wedding, even if it meant a last minute change of plans! We seriously could not recommend Sara's services enough!!
Sara Lloyd•Sep 22, 2026Thank you so much, your kind words mean so much to me. But the truth is I am the lucky one that got to meet you and work with you and Jordan. Missing you so much already❤️❤️❤️

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!

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.
