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!

You know how every Hallmark Christmas movie with a gay theme seems to star Jonathan Bennett? Well, we both felt like Jonathan Bennett in my own Hallmark movie - of course, during the summer, but you get the idea - during our recent wedding at Cambria Pines Lodge. You really have to go there to experience it - the grounds feel like a Hallmark movie in all the best ways - warm, inviting, joyful, and somehow familiar. If you want the true "Christmas in June" experience, just head on over to the garden, crafts, and Christmas store just off the property that's open year-round. We're looking forward to heading up for their Christmas market in the fall - we hear it's incredible. You have to trust me on this one - the whole place is really special. From the moment we first spoke with Judy, Michelle, and the team, they were incredibly supportive, flexible and friendly in helping us plan our dream wedding. The venue itself is charming, warm and inviting, creating such a welcoming atmosphere for our guests. They worked with us to stretch our budget across all the events, Ramiro and the banquet team accommodating our complicated beverage, gift bag, AV, and decor requests, mostly with ease. Most importantly, the Cambria Pines Lodge team took great care of our families and friends, ensuring everyone felt at home throughout our special weekend.

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.

Makeup by Anna Grimes 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Starts at $700
  • Serves San Simeon, CA

I've been working in the beauty industry over 21 years. My career began after earning a cosmetology license, at the age of 19. This is when I began working for prestigious cosmetic companies such as Chanel, Estee Lauder, and MAC. I received training from leading people in the makeup industry, along with assisting and working along side celebrity makeup artists. Roles I've held during my career include working as a freelance makeup artist, cosmetic retail manager, cosmetic business manager, and makeup trainer.

Anna was truly amazing! She was very communicative and made sure she understood what I was hoping for and that she was capturing my personal style. During the trial she made adjustments and gave me different options to help me find my perfect look. She made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day and I'm so happy I went with her!

Tami Bernard Makeup Artist LLC 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 8
  • Serves San Simeon, CA

Tami Bernard is a freelance professional makeup artist who is an educator and specializes in bridal makeup. She is known for making her clients look breathtaking. Using her own techniques and small brushes helps her to achieve skin that looks beautiful and evenly blended, as though she is using a magnifying glass. Tami has been trained in Los Angeles, New York, and New Orleans. Tami has created a team of artists that work with her to keep up with the demand of the ever-growing wedding industry.

Getting your makeup done for your wedding can feel scary and stressful, but I couldn’t have dreamed up a better beauty team if I tried. I chose Tami because I loved her ability to create an elevated, natural look and was drawn to her use of clean products. It’s a total game changer not feeling like you’re wearing thick, heavy makeup (or worrying you’ll wake up with five million zits the next day). What you don’t always see in the photos, though, is everything else Tami brings to the table. She radiates joy and love, and she made the entire weekend feel calm and fun. She even came for my rehearsal look as a “dry run,” which allowed her team to set up early for the wedding morning—meaning we got to sleep in a bit more (a gift in itself!). She kept everyone perfectly on schedule without us even noticing, and every single person felt beautiful and confident. She’s open to feedback, has great suggestions if you want them, and thinks about things you wouldn’t even realize as a bride (like whether you care if a bridesmaid has a similar hairstyle). I truly felt like I was in the best hands with Tami and her team. I wish I could buy her homemade products in a store, they’re that good. I would recommend her to absolutely everyone.
