Hi! My name is Tiffany Rivers, owner of Rivers Event Planning. I have been in the hospitality industry for 15 years. My journey started in culinary school as a young adult and then as an Event Banquet Captain for various catering companies on the Central Coast. My love for serving others lead me to receive a degree in Hospitality Management! I then worked as an Event Coordinator for a private school in San Luis Obispo. 5 years later I decided to start my own company as a Special Event Planner and the rest is history!

Tiffany did a tremendous job helping with the lead-up coordination, vendor contact, rehearsal and day-of coordination. She handled wedding weekend guest questions and day-of logistics, and helped us really enjoy our day. Our wedding was also her first wedding at Ragged Point Inn, and it went so well considering she was coordinating with our venue and some of our vendors for the first time. We did a lot of things our own unique way :), and Tiffany also helped us make everything a reality - from a dinner-only reception to a silent disco dance party!

Candice and her team were a pleasure to work with. She was professional, kind, and above all very adaptive. We had to pivot/switch up a few details due to weather on our wedding day and I was SO relieved by Candice’s ability to make quick, smart decisions without ever making me feel overwhelmed or stressed on the day of. This was essential as not everything can go as planned on your wedding day but I never knew about any of it and she worked fervently behind the scenes to keep it that way. As a hands on bride with a strong vision, I was comforted by how on top of everything Candice was. She was able to bring my ideas to life and the planning tools she utilizes ensure everyone is on the same page without things getting lost in countless email threads. Candice's insights and experience are invaluable and the energy she brings on the day of is unparalleled.

Moonglow Floral is a boutique floral design studio that creates extraordinary floral experiences for discerning clients hosting events on the Central Coast of California. We strive to create a concierge experience for busy clients through a streamlined planning process, clear communication, and creative guidance. Moonglow Floral strives to be a safe and inclusive business for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ clients as well as a safe vendor for all ages, bodies, and abilities. Moonglow Floral is happy to collaborate with clients to incorporate cultural or religious traditions into their floral designs. Inclusivity is an ongoing intention.

It's hard for me to put into words the glowing review that Tessa deserves. From start to finish she was so attentive and receptive to our vision. We had multiple text, email, phone call exchanges and she was so patient with me as I was constantly changing my mind or adding something in the mix. She provided amazing input as well. I am so happy that I could send her my Pinterest board and screenshot of ideas and she just completely made it come to life. Her expertise made our planning experience seamless, as we could completely trust in her talent and her vision. I almost cried when she brought in my bouquet as it was exactly as I imagined, and somehow even better. Everything from the dining table florals, to the bar set up, and the ceremony florals completely blew our already high expectations out of the water and the arrangements will always be a highlight of our day and photos. Something I also loved about Moonglow is that Tessa provides extra cuttings for things like the details photos, cake table, etc included, that you may not necessarily think of but because of her experience, she knows that these are needed. She even provided things like extra water vases for my bouquet and the bridesmaid's bouquets to incorporate into the reception space. Not only is Tessa extremely talented, she is so wonderful to work with and so kind. She really is a one stop shop as the creator of the florals as well as the person doing the set up, this was so incredible as it's her vision coming to life from start to finish. Her responsiveness and professionalism throughout this process was 10/10 as well. We couldn't be happier and we still get compliments on our wedding florals! THANK YOU Moonglow Floral!!

As a food stylist, event planner, and business owner with over 20 years in hospitality and catering, I believe the smallest details hold the most meaning. I’m drawn to beauty in how a space feels, how colors and textures come together, and how every element flows effortlessly. When couples trust me with their celebration, I listen deeply and design with intention, care, and heart — so they can feel calm, present, and completely immersed in their day. Proud ally and safe space for the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC community. Best wishes and warmest regards, LouLou

I’ve worked with LouLou Events going on about ten times now, both personally (for friends and family gatherings), as well as professionally (we at Edible Magazine hire her for both her food styling, and event production). I'm not only in awe of her style and the aesthetic she brings to any event or setup; I also appreciate her work ethic and processes. She’s quick and efficient in her responses (a dream for my type-A personality), is dependable, and has an unmatched eye for design. Everything, I mean everything, she creates is beautiful. The events always feel special and thoughtfully done. They leave a lasting impression on guests -- it is exactly what I hope for. Over time I’ve relied on her for all kinds of needs, from production and food styling for various magazine shoots; event management for gatherings; tablescape design for a cookbook party; food setups for long shoot days. She’s someone I return to again and again because she is professional, kind, and delivers every single time. I would recommend her to anybody.

I had four (yes, four!) bridal makeup trials and I’m so grateful to have found Taylor! I was looking for a natural makeup look but it seemed impossible to find. The other trials left me with cakey foundation that actually made my skin texture look worse than it normally does without makeup. Taylor suggested that I look up celebrity reference photos as opposed to your typical bridal Pinterest pics. This was a game changer — great advice! Taylor paid close attention to my skin tone, skin type, and bone structure to help accentuate my features. She was so kind, professional, on time, and made the experience so effortless for my bridal party and I. I felt so beautiful thanks to Taylor. I wish I could have her do my makeup every day!

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.

Monica helped plan and execute my October wedding in the Santa Ynez Valley and we could have been happier with the entire experience. She was our wedding coordinator starting about 6-8 weeks ahead of the wedding, although she started working with us a few months out to make sure we selected vendors and contracts with the right details in mind. She understood our vision and the vibe we wanted for the day and TOTALLY delivered. She also did our flowers, and they were stunning. Monica ensured the wedding setup and day of schedule went off without a hitch. She worked so hard the day before and day of - especially on the tablescapes, which I had told her I cared a lot about. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs wedding planning or wedding coordination.

I'm a passionate wedding photographer dedicated to capturing the authentic beauty and emotions of your special day. With a deep love for storytelling through timeless, fine art imagery, I focus on creating photographs that reflect the unique essence of each couple. Serving my clients with care and attention to detail is at the heart of everything I do, ensuring that your memories are preserved with love and artistry.

We couldn’t be more thrilled with our experience working with April! From start to finish, she was incredibly communicative and attentive, always making sure our vision for our wedding and engagement photos was understood. April made us feel so comfortable throughout the process, which was especially important for us as we’re not used to being in front of the camera. The photos themselves are stunning! Each shot beautifully captures the love, emotion, and special moments of our big day. We were blown away by how she was able to seamlessly blend candid moments with beautifully composed portraits. What really sets April apart is how she went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. Whether it was helping with last-minute adjustments on the day of or offering thoughtful suggestions during our engagement shoot in San Luis Obispo and Pismo Beach, she made us feel like we were the top priority. We can’t recommend April enough for anyone looking for a wedding or engagement photographer. If you want someone who’s professional, easy to work with, and capable of delivering truly breathtaking images, she is the perfect choice! Thank you again for making our day so special and for capturing memories we will cherish forever!
