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 an amazing wedding coordinator. She took care of literally all of the vendor communication for us. I remember the day before the wedding I called her about the forecasted rain, worrying about what we would do. She told me she was on top of it and was already coordinating with our venue about umbrellas/moving tables under the awning. I think it’s really worth it to find a coordinator with the experience that Tiffany has.

Dylan Kyle was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. Him and his wife were incredibly kind and professional, yet brought a fun, lighthearted energy that really put me at ease during the pre-ceremony photos. The quality of their work was absolutely stunning - the photos they captured were truly incredible and amazing. It was so sweet that the second photographer was Dylan's wife, and we loved working with both of them to document our special day. I would highly recommend Dylan Kyle Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

He was very professional, on time, set everything up seamlessly, and was great to work with. He made beautiful arrangements of the songs that we chose to walk down the aisle to and he played and sang a song in the ceremony. It added SO much to have such quality live music on our special day. His voice is amazing and his guitar playing is perfect. Cannot recommend him highly enough! He is the best in the area by far.

Hey there! My name is Tiffany Wiere, the owner and sole wedding planner of Wiere Weddings! I was born and raised in Australia, and moved to the US 8 years ago to be with my husband. I am a hopeless romantic - hence moving halfway across the world for the man I adore!

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. Her calm and positive energy set the tone for everyone around her, and it was clear she genuinely cared about making our day perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator.

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!

Hi, I'm Sarah...your San Luis Obispo (and beyond) Wedding Photographer, and I’m obsessed with giving you the experience and photographs you deserve. After 15 years in the industry, I don't just show up to your wedding and snap photos. I’m here to listen to your vision, identify what’s important to you and then deliver an entire experience you'll love from start to finish. With me, you'll have the CONFIDENCE that I know exactly how to make all of your photos (yes, even those “posed ones”) tell the real – intimate, romantic, fun and adventurous – story of your day!

If you’re looking for a photographer for your event in the SLO/Santa Barbara area, Sarah at Mirror’s Edge Photography is hands down the best choice in central California. I booked Sarah for my wedding and engagement shoot, and she literally SAVED my wedding! Two weeks before we said I do, the long-term coordinator at our venue left without any notice -leaving us to pick up the pieces. For context, my husband and I live all the way in Richmond, VA, so SLO was a destination wedding for us and our families -some of whom traveled as far as Berlin, Germany, to be with us on our special day. When everything seemed to go wrong, Sarah was there to help step in and put us back on track. We first met Sarah for an engagement shoot. Her communication was impeccable; she arrived early and had no problem handling the chaotic whirlwind my husband and I had become. Not only did she have an amazingly bright personality, but she was also so prepared and professional. Later, she helped us adjust our day-of schedule to ensure the best lighting for pictures and the smoothest flow for wait staff. She even met up with us for an extra beach shoot when the fog rolled in the day before. After our first hour together, I realized that Sarah really truly had my back, and for the first time in weeks I was actually able to exhale and enjoy myself. The pictures she took of my husband and me are without a doubt the best we’ve ever had. Unfortunately, my wedding day misfortune would continue when my only bridesmaid, who was also my maid of honor, missed her flight. Sarah picked me up off the floor, dusted me off, and got me back into the proper headspace. If I needed my veil adjusted, she was there -no one to hold my bouquet? No problem; she shot pictures with one hand. When I say this woman is a superstar, I really truly mean it. By the end of our time together, I genuinely felt like I’d gained not only a new friend, but also an older sister. Sarah’s talent as a photographer speaks for itself, but when you hire her, you get so much more than just a professional. Do yourself a favor and book with Mirror’s Edge!

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.

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.

You shouldn't have to go broke for quality wedding photos. I started NarBear Studios because my own wedding photos turned out terribly, and nobody should have to gamble on something this important. These days I spend my weekends creating timeless wedding photos, calming nervous couples, finding missing groomsmen, and carrying enough camera gear to concern airport security. My goal is simple: beautiful photos, a stress-free experience, and making sure the only thing you regret is the guest who requested Nickelback. Oh yeah, I'm Grant...

We honestly could not have asked for a better wedding photographer. From the very beginning, Grant made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely excited about the entire process. He paid attention to every detail, helped guide us naturally when needed, and somehow captured moments we didn’t even realize were happening. The photos turned out absolutely incredible — timeless, emotional, and beautifully edited without looking overly filtered or artificial. Every image feels like a piece of our story. Family and friends have not stopped complimenting them. What stood out most was how much he truly cared about giving us an amazing experience, not just delivering photos. He went above and beyond throughout the day and made everything feel effortless. If you want someone who is creative, professional, laid-back, and genuinely talented, NarBear Studios is the photographer to book. These are photos we’ll treasure forever.

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!
