  • Serves Arroyo Grande, CA

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 the very beginning of this journey, Sara was so much more than a wedding coordinator. She was truly my rock. She held my hand through every step of the planning process, guided me through every decision, and gave the most thoughtful, perfect recommendations. What could have been overwhelming, she made feel calm, exciting, and so special. I always knew I had someone in my corner who genuinely cared about bringing our vision to life. Her communication, kindness, and support went so far beyond anything we could have ever expected. She didn’t just do her job. she showed up like a best friend, someone who was just as invested in our day as we were. On the day of our wedding, she knew exactly what I needed as a Type A bride. She let me be part of the moments that mattered most to me, while quietly and flawlessly handling everything else behind the scenes. If anything went wrong, I never knew because she made sure I didn’t have to. That kind of peace on your wedding day is something I will forever be grateful for. And despite the wind trying its best to challenge us, Sara never let it take away from our vision. She adapted, adjusted, and somehow made everything still feel absolutely perfect. She didn’t just execute our wedding she protected the feeling of it. She gave us more than a beautiful day,she gave us the ability to be fully present, to soak in every moment, and to truly live our dream wedding. There are honestly no words that feel big enough to thank her. We will carry so much gratitude for her forever. If you are even thinking about hiring Sara, do it. She is truly one of a kind.”

“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.

As a food stylist, event planner, and business owner with over 25 years in hospitality and events, 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

“Lou is incredible and I absolutely LOVED working with her. Having her coordinate my wedding was - hands down - the best decision I made about the whole process. Working in the event industry myself, I just couldn't wrap my head around my own wedding... thank goodness Lou was ready for everything! She set us up with great timelines, connected us with some awesome and affordable local vendors, and really came through making magic happen *both* behind-the-scenes and literally setting the scene. Vibes? Check! Hustle? Check! She flawlessly made my vision come to life. It was honestly such a relief working with her. I can get really anxious and overwhelmed, and she walked and talked me through every step at a pace that felt consistent and manageable... and when I slacked, she kicked my butt back into gear, which I needed 100% lol. She has such a respectable history coordinating events, she preempted things I never even considered. I highly recommend working with her!”

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.”

Alexandra Khoury Modon’s path to founding à la Modon Events is anything but conventional—woven through years of discipline, artistic expression, and an insatiable drive to bring visions to life. From visual and theatrical artist to Division I tennis player, courtroom prosecutor, and now event planner, she has mastered high-pressure environments, honed meticulous attention to detail, and refined the art of storytelling. Today, she channels that same precision and creativity into designing seamless, deeply personal events that reflect each client’s unique story.

Awarded Best of Zola
“There are very few people you meet during wedding planning who you know you’ll genuinely miss when it’s over. Alexandra is one of them. We had a pretty unconventional starting point. My husband Joel and I had already been together for 17 years and had a teenager before we decided to get married, so this was never going to be a traditional wedding. We got married on a Tuesday in Santa Barbara, with guests traveling from as far away as Europe and as close as Los Angeles, and everywhere in between. Most came from New York City, where we live. We wanted the wedding to feel intimate, chic, warm, personal, and completely un-fussy, and Alexandra understood that from the beginning. Planning from NYC while getting married across the country was no small undertaking. We even had to change both our restaurant and after-party venue at the last minute (!!!). Somehow, Alexandra handled every curveball with complete calm. She always seemed to have a solution before we even had time to worry about the problem. From our very first conversations, Alexandra just got us. Her background as a DA shows in her curiosity and incredible attention to detail. We had a lot of ideas, opinions, and probably a fair amount of chaos. She never made us feel like we were asking for too much or doing things the “wrong” way. She listened and turned all of our random thoughts and little details into a wedding that felt completely and unmistakably like us. She has incredible taste and an amazing eye, but what I loved most was that she never made the wedding about her vision. She made it about ours. She understood that we wanted intimate over grand, chic over fussy, and beautiful without feeling overly formal or staged. Every detail felt intentional, but nothing felt forced. She was also an absolute rock throughout the planning process: organized, responsive, thoughtful, patient, creative, and calm. She anticipated things we hadn't even thought about and made decisions feel easy when they could have been overwhelming. She understood not just what we wanted the wedding to look like, but what we wanted it to FEEL like. On our wedding day, she was simply incredible. She officiated our ceremony (!!) and completely nailed it with personal details, warmth, and grace. For the entire day and into the night, we got to be completely present with the people we love because Alexandra and her team member, Paulina (also a superstar!), were taking care of everything around us. They quietly managed an enormous number of moving pieces and somehow made the day feel effortless. We got to laugh, dance, eat, hug our friends and family, and actually experience our wedding instead of worrying about it. But honestly, what I will remember most is how much she cared. She cared about the little things that mattered to us, our family, our guests, and making the day feel like OUR wedding rather than just a beautiful event. Our wedding was everything we hoped it would be and more. Our guests are still talking about it, and so much of what made it special was Alexandra. I feel incredibly lucky that we found her, and even luckier that we got to know her along the way. If you are considering working with A La Modon Events, do not even think twice. You will get an incredibly talented planner with impeccable taste, but you will also get someone who genuinely cares about you and your event. And that makes ALL the difference!”

“We cannot express enough gratitude and admiration for Ashley from Rose Events, who made Anne and Michael’s wedding at Oceanview Hot Tubs in Shelter Cove absolutely unforgettable. From the moment Ashley reached out about our wedding venue, and we began planning, Ashley's professionalism, attention to detail, and creativity stood out. Ashley seamlessly blended the natural beauty of Shelter Cove with Anne and Michael’s vision, creating an ambiance that was both elegant and deeply personal. From the delicate floral arrangements to the perfectly timed schedule, every detail was thoughtfully executed. The stunning outdoor setup complemented the breathtaking ocean views, and Ashley ensured that everything flowed smoothly, allowing the couple and their guests to fully enjoy the day. One of Ashley’s greatest strengths is her ability to handle every aspect of the event with grace and calmness. Whether it was coordinating with vendors, managing last-minute adjustments, or making sure every guest felt welcome, she made it all look effortless. Her dedication and passion for her work truly shine through. Anne and Michael’s wedding was nothing short of magical, and so much of that is thanks to Ashley’s expertise. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your day extraordinary, Ashley from Rose Events is the one to call. We highly recommend her and look forward to seeing her bring more dreams to life!”

“If I had one piece of advice for every bride getting married at the Madonna Inn, it would be to hire Krissy. Her and her team were able to expertly execute my day and we’re outstanding partners throughout the entire planning process. They helped me get tire grease out of my dress, they made sure that my fiancé showed up to the ceremony on time, and they expertly handled multiple family members in our processional. They are able to make outstanding recommendations for any and all vendors that you’re looking for, and they even do their own floral arranging if that’s something you’re interested in. We are incredibly grateful to Krissy and the team for all of their hard work and we are so glad for any couple who gets to work with them in the future.”

“Courtney Stammler was instrumental when I hosted a Women’s Wellness Retreat for over 85 women. She not only helped with the logistics, she shared an inspiring poem for International Women’s Day and then led a powerful sacred ceremony: Emotions overflowed as we released negativity and embraced positivity, creating an empowered and resilient community of women. As we held hands in a circle, tears of joy and liberation flowed freely as we released our worries and embraced our authentic strengths. Witnessing women come together, uplift and support each other was truly breathtaking. Thank you, Courtney, for creating a moment of pure magic! Jovie BT, MSN, FNP-C”

Hi, I’m Jordyn Elyse, founder of Elyse & Co. Events. If you choose me as your planner, I dedicate everything to making sure you have the wedding of your dreams.

Helping others celebrate life’s most special moments is truly what drives me every day.

“From the moment we first met with AnnaMarie and the team at AR Weddings N Events, we knew we were in good hands. Their communication style was attentive, positive, and enthusiastic throughout the entire planning process. The attention-to-detail, big picture perspective, and warm approach they brought to executing our vision was truly impressive. AnnaMarie executed our vision for the table settings and flowers perfectly while I was away getting ready, and they were around monitoring the entire wedding to make sure it was perfect and we didn't hear of any problems. As very organized and anxious planners, we appreciated that AnnaMarie checked in with us bi-weekly to ensure everything was on track. They truly brought our dream wedding to light.”

Zuzu Collective is a bespoke wedding planning studio specializing in immersive, story-driven weddings in San Diego and throughout California and worldwide. We start with your story — your taste, your vision, what you want people to feel — and build a world from there.

“If I could give Zoe 100 stars, I would. We didn’t book the full-service package, and somehow she still showed up like she was planning a celebrity wedding. From day one, she was organized, creative, and unbelievably responsive. I could text, call, or email her at any time and she would respond quickly with thoughtful, thorough answers. During a season that can feel overwhelming, that kind of communication is everything. We planned a destination wedding in Hawaii on a tight budget, and Zoe made it feel effortless. She gave us vendor recommendations we never would have found on our own, was completely transparent about costs, and constantly helped us make smart decisions that elevated the experience without blowing our budget. She has a rare ability to design weddings that feel deeply personal and atmospheric, not “cookie-cutter” or Pinterest-copy, but actually reflective of you as a couple. What meant the most to me, though, was how she showed up emotionally. Wedding planning can bring up family dynamics, stress, and big feelings. Zoe was such a steady, calming presence. She always reassured me that we weren’t behind, that everything was on track, and that we were doing great. She made me feel comfortable being vulnerable during a really high-emotion season of life, and that is something I will never forget. On the wedding day itself, everything ran seamlessly. If anything went wrong, I truly have no idea - because she handled it before it ever reached me. She took the time to build a relationship with our wedding party and vendors to be able to pivot without me knowing and that meant the world to me. Guests, vendors, and our wedding party all commented on how calm, kind, and on top of everything she was. She created a beautiful atmosphere while somehow making it look effortless. Our guests haven’t stopped talking about our wedding - which is every brides dream - and no doubt the experience wouldn’t have been possible without Zoe. If you are planning a destination wedding (especially in Hawaii) or really any wedding anywhere and working within a budget but still want something elevated and meaningful, hire her. If you want a planner that feels like a friend you’ve known your whole life, hire her. She is creative, strategic, detail-oriented, incredibly communicative, and genuinely cares about her couples. Zoe wasn’t just our planner - she was the reason our wedding felt the way it did and I’m forever grateful for her.”

“I could not recommend Glennie and her team more! They worked behind the scenes to make everything run smoothly during our wedding and leading up to the event! From creating group chats with our entourage for open communication to creating a minute by minute schedule of the event. She was PERFECT! She also coordinated with all vendors and helped solve problems without having to involve my husband and I!”
