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!

I had the joy of working with Tiffany, an outstanding wedding planner, at the breathtaking Villa San Juliette Winery. Despite the scorching 105-degree heat, Tiffany maintained a calm, cool, and collected demeanor throughout the day. Her presence alone was a source of tranquility, as she effortlessly managed every detail of the event. Tiffany’s dedication to her clients and colleagues is truly remarkable. Her genuine care was evident in the thoughtful way she ensured that I and others stayed hydrated in the extreme heat and adhered to our timeline flawlessly. Her organizational skills and attention to detail are unparalleled, making the event seamless and enjoyable for everyone involved. As a photographer, having someone like Tiffany to work alongside is invaluable, as it allows me to focus on capturing beautiful moments without worrying about logistical challenges. I am eagerly looking forward to working with Tiffany again. Her presence not only elevates the event experience but also infuses the entire atmosphere with positivity and calmness. She is not just an incredible planner, but also a wonderful person to be around. Highly recommended!

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Santa Margarita, CA

I grew up on California's Central Coast and obtained a minor in Photography from Cal Poly SLO. My love for photography started in high school and has always been my sole aspiration. As a photographer, I understand that photos hold cherished memories that last a lifetime. Whether it's with family, friends, or loved ones, photos capture precious moments that we can revisit time and time again. These snapshots serve as a visual reminder of the joys we've experienced and the people we've shared them with.

If you’re looking for someone professional, funny, personable, and skilled, Andy is your guy! Getting quotes for photographers can be very intimidating and stressful. When I first reached out to Andy, I had a feeling that he was going to be the perfect match for us (and his price options are reasonable and affordable!). He kept in contact during the months leading up to our wedding, answering all of my questions and sending a list of questions for us to answer. We ended up pre-choosing what family/group pictures were most important to us and providing names. Andy had that list with him at our wedding and stuck to it, keeping us on schedule, but was willing to take on-the-spot added groups, too. He captured all of the moments that mattered to me, from the first look to the first dance. He took beautiful wedding party photos, posed and candid. He was very professional and able to take family group shots while being swarmed by hummingbirds. He made us laugh and smile. Even better, we received a small set of photos 2 days later, and all of the photos within 2 weeks. 11/10 would recommend!!

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!

We found Dylan on Zola & loved his photography style & were lucky enough to get him booked. He had a survey of desired pics, then set up a phone call to go through everything to make sure he got exactly what we wanted. The day of, he brought his wife Rachel as a second shooter, who was an absolute delight as well! The two of them work together really well, with Dylan getting the gorgeous artistic shots & Rachel capturing the candid real life day of. My major request was pictures with some of the cows on the ranch where we got married & the two of them were down for whatever, trekking through pastures, ant hills, & cow pies at sunset to get literally the most gorgeous pictures of ourselves that we will ever get. Both of them were soooo easy to work with & have fun with. We have our full gallery less than a month later & there truly isn't a bad one in the bunch. We are so thankful to both of them for capturing our once in a lifetime experience & absolutely cannot recommend them enough.

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!

I’ve known Sara for 11 years, both personally and professionally in the wedding and hospitality industry in Paso Robles, California. I’ve had the honor of working alongside her as an assistant for over a dozen weddings, as well as creating beautiful grazing tables for many of her couples. Sara’s commitment to her brides and grooms—and to the overall execution of each wedding—is evident from the very beginning. She is incredibly passionate, attentive, and genuinely caring. She quickly becomes more than just a planner to her clients—she becomes a trusted friend they can rely on every step of the way. She is truly a “ride or die” for her couples, someone they can trust from start to finish. It has been amazing to watch her business flourish in less than two years. Sara is undoubtedly one of the best planners on the Central Coast, and anyone who hires her is truly lucky to have her.

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!

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.

Cheers, you did it! You went from wildly in-love to newly engaged. It’s such a special time in life and you want to capture every fleeting moment. Your wedding photographer will be with you during some of your most cherished moments. So, finding someone with a personality that brings out the best in yours is essential. This is the part where we become fast friends. There is something so intimate and longstanding about being by someone’s side on their wedding day, and I can’t get enough of that feeling.

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.
