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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Tiffany was so amazing! We hired her as our Day of Coordinator and she still made an effort to make sure we were staying on the right track during the planning process MONTHS before the wedding. She genuinely cares about her brides and does everything she can to make their vision come true. She is so sweet and also very good at directing and leading. We had a lot of people at our rehearsal and it went SO smoothly with her direction. Our wedding day also turned out way better and smoother than I ever could imagined. Plus, she made sure all our items got back to one place and in good shape. All our decor was acrylic and she went the extra mile to make sure there were no finger prints the day of the wedding. If you’re looking for a wedding planner, Tiffany is your gal!

Offer full wedding planning and coordination.

Kari and her entire staff were amazing!!! I want to get married again just to have Kari be part of it again. Anytime I sent a 3 am email in a stress panic, she made me feel totally normal and sane again. Our guests all raved about the bartenders she had for the wedding for us. Kari had another wedding that she was already committed to on our day but she still made a point to deliver our florals in person (she did all our flowers too - AMAZING) and stopped by before she left to say hi and give a big hug. In place of her on wedding day was an equally amazing gal Korah!! We can not say enough amazing things about Korah also. She was there for anything and everything all day on the wedding. Hire Kari and her crew - you will not be disappointed and will want to plan a second wedding just to spend more time with them all!!! And when it came to planning and all the little details - don't even stress about any of it because she will have it all handled perfectly and blow your expectations out of the water for it all!! And all the vendors that she suggests - book them all. Don't even question it because they will all be the best vendors you could of imagined!

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!

From our very first interaction with Sara, it was clear that we were in great hands. She and her team were both professional and personable, with an exceptional attention to detail that truly brought our wedding vision to life. They seamlessly handled all the personal decor items we provided and collaborated beautifully with our other vendors to ensure everything came together flawlessly. Sara is truly the best, and I would work with her again in a heartbeat. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made, our wedding day would not have run nearly as smoothly without her expert coordination. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

I don't just capture moments, I ✨create✨ them! I'm for the couples who want photos that look candid, but are actually directed so you never feel awkward!! If you're sarcastic or a dog person, I like you already...if you want emotive photos that feel like art...HIT MY LINE.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had been following Tessa's incredible work for a few years, so the moment we got engaged, she was the first vendor we reached out to—we knew she had to be the one to capture our elopement. She exceeded every expectation we had. Her artistic vision, fun energy, and incredible eye for detail made the experience truly unforgettable. She was also fantastic at communicating throughout the entire process, making everything seamless and stress-free. In fact, when we started to plan our reception, I quickly realized I couldn't imagine not having her be a part of that day as well—and again, she exceeded every expectation. Her talent behind the camera speaks for itself, but beyond that, she is just an all-around incredible human—kind, fun, and a joy to be around. We’ve already decided we need to come up with more occasions just so we can hang out with her again. Highly, highly recommend!

I absolutely adore the small details and believe each wedding is truly unique to each couple.

On the day of our wedding, she was on top of everything, keeping the timeline smooth and stress-free so we could truly enjoy our day.

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. Would recommend Candice and her team to anyone I know and so grateful for them on my wedding day.

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.

Rose was so incredibly helpful and thoughtful in helping us curate a rooftop reception following our SF City Hall marriage. Her expertise in event planning lended so much insight into what was needed to organize the event in the weeks prior, and her team’s attention to detail made our rooftop event really feel like a celebration. She and her team not only handled set up, decorating, and takedown, but she also offered kindness and joy to us throughout our time working with her. We can’t thank Rose and her team enough for making our day feel special!

Dream flowers? Achieved! I walked into my bridal suite the day of the wedding to find all the bouquets on display in vases of water and gasped. They were even better than I had pictured! The colors were exactly what I wanted and had the perfect mix of greenery to flowers. Tessa even left a congratulations card for us. The price was very reasonable! I never saw my flowers until the day of the wedding and I would 100% recommend this floral service! We coordinated completely via email. I sent her our color scheme and my preferences and she replied with a moodboard that fit my ideas. I was able to comment on the moodboard and let her know what I liked the most. I only needed my bouquet, boutonnieres, and bridesmaids bouquets and she was able to create a tailored estimate for my needs.

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!

We couldn’t be happier with Pete for our recent ranch-style wedding. From the very first meeting, he truly listened to our vision of an intimate, heartfelt celebration and brought it to life in the most beautiful way. He handled every detail with such care and creativity — from coordinating the DJ setup, lights, photography to making sure the barbecue feast was to take place at the right time and music vibes flowed perfectly. What stood out most was how he went above and beyond — coming early to fix last-minute issues, adding thoughtful personal touches we hadn’t even thought of, and keeping everything running smoothly so we could actually relax and enjoy our day. Our guests are still raving about how seamless and magical it felt. If you’re planning a country or rustic wedding (or any wedding!), do yourself a favor and book Pete and his team.

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.

We booked Monica for month-of coordination, and she immediately acted like a true partner. She offered clear advice, scheduled check-ins, and tracked our progress so there were no surprises. When the weekend arrived, she took over smoothly and made everything easy. She managed setup, coordinated every vendor, kept the timeline tight, solved problems quietly, and oversaw teardown. On Sunday morning our items were already condensed, labeled, and staged by the exit, so pickup took minutes. Beyond all the compliments on the wedding, we heard constant praise for Monica herself. She is organized, calm, and relentlessly helpful. We could not recommend her more.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Booking Ballesteros photography for our wedding was hands down the BEST decision we made for our wedding! From starting by taking engagement photos, to the final delivery of our wedding photos and video, they brought nothing but pure magic. The photos are STUNNING. Every frame looked like it belonged in a bridal magazine. The colors, the light, the emotions etc, chefs kiss. They didn’t just take pictures, they told the story of our day and wonderfully navigated the wedding scheduling etc like pros. They magically captured all the big moments and the smaller ones with wonderful candid captures that we’ll cherish forever. The wedding video they took was so artfully crafted and wonderful way to cherish our special day. Beyond the work (which speaks for itself) they were efficient, communicative, kind, great at adapting to our personal desires/requests and wonderful to work with! Highly recommend them (:
