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.

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!

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.

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.

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 (:
