“I can't say enough good things about The Backyard on Thirteenth! We held our wedding reception there in April 2021, and it was an absolutely perfect experience. From the very beginning, owners Rus and Amy went above and beyond to help us prepare. Planning a wedding is always stressful, but we were doing so during COVID, which added a whole extra layer of complexity. We also lived about 4 hours away and hadn't even seen the space in person before booking. Rus and Amy's communication, flexibility, and genuine care made us feel completely confident in our decision. The venue itself was everything we wanted and more. It had a private, laid-back atmosphere that was exactly the vibe we were going for. It wasn't just a beautiful space; it also offered fantastic beer and wine! Since our wedding, we've returned to The Backyard on Thirteenth for other events, and it truly feels like a home away from home. It's a special place, and we're so grateful to Rus and Amy for making our wedding reception so unforgettable. I highly recommend The Backyard on Thirteenth to anyone looking for a unique and wonderful venue.”

“We got married at the beautiful Swallow Creek Ranch at the end of May, and we are absolutely still soaking in the weekend. All of our vendors were amazing, but the venue itself, and especially Jonna and Reid, are the ones we are still talking about and gushing over! During our very first tour of SCR with Jonna, we knew it was the spot for us. The unique and jaw-dropping blue barn, the history of the property, the ocean views, the beautiful natural landscape, and the energy of the space were unforgettable. It was everything we had dreamed of for a Central Coast wedding. Not only was the venue a perfect match, but Jonna made choosing SCR a no-brainer.

We appreciated every part of our experience and truly cannot stop talking about how positive and special our time at SCR was.

“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. This was essential as not everything can go as planned on your wedding day but I never knew about any of it and she worked fervently behind the scenes to keep it that way. As a hands on bride with a strong vision, I was comforted by how on top of everything Candice was. She was able to bring my ideas to life and the planning tools she utilizes ensure everyone is on the same page without things getting lost in countless email threads.

“It's hard for me to put into words the glowing review that Tessa deserves. From start to finish she was so attentive and receptive to our vision. We had multiple text, email, phone call exchanges and she was so patient with me as I was constantly changing my mind or adding something in the mix. She provided amazing input as well. I am so happy that I could send her my Pinterest board and screenshot of ideas and she just completely made it come to life. Her expertise made our planning experience seamless, as we could completely trust in her talent and her vision. I almost cried when she brought in my bouquet as it was exactly as I imagined, and somehow even better. Everything from the dining table florals, to the bar set up, and the ceremony florals completely blew our already high expectations out of the water and the arrangements will always be a highlight of our day and photos. Something I also loved about Moonglow is that Tessa provides extra cuttings for things like the details photos, cake table, etc included, that you may not necessarily think of but because of her experience, she knows that these are needed. She even provided things like extra water vases for my bouquet and the bridesmaid's bouquets to incorporate into the reception space. Not only is Tessa extremely talented, she is so wonderful to work with and so kind. She really is a one stop shop as the creator of the florals as well as the person doing the set up, this was so incredible as it's her vision coming to life from start to finish. Her responsiveness and professionalism throughout this process was 10/10 as well. We couldn't be happier and we still get compliments on our wedding florals! THANK YOU Moonglow Floral!!”

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!

“From the moment we started working with Sarah at Mirror's Edge Photography, we knew we had made the best decision for our wedding day. Her communication style is simply the best ever - she was so communicative and so willing to listen to all of our ideas and preferences. Sarah went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and confident, building us up like no one else. I cannot recommend Sarah enough, she is amazing at what she does and makes you feel wonderful no matter what you use her for. I started with a boudoir shoot, then engagement photos and wedding photos...so clearly it worked! I've also used Sarah for family photos and will never use anyone else as long as she's working. Don't walk, run to Mirror's Edge Photography - you won't regret it!”

“Victoria created the wedding florals of my dreams!!! She completely understood my vision, but then made it 100x better than I could have imagined. She is such a joy to work with and was so flexible and understanding as the color scheme and design evolved. Working with her was truly one of the highlights of wedding planning for me and I'm already dreaming up future events I'll need flowers at (she is really that good!!!!) I cannot recommend her enough!”

“Miranda is hands-down one of the best wedding coordinators I’ve had the pleasure of working with. From start to finish, she is incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and always two steps ahead, making the entire wedding day flow seamlessly. Her attention to detail is truly unmatched — every timeline, transition, and little moment is handled with so much care and intention. Beyond her professionalism, Miranda’s personality is such a breath of fresh air. She is genuinely sweet, loving, fun, and brings the most calming, positive energy to the day. She makes everyone around her feel comfortable and supported, from vendors to the couple and their families.

“Natalie with Bellizzimo Beauty was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day! From the very first consultation, Natalie was attentive, kind, and incredibly detailed in her approach. She took the time to understand my vision and preferences, and made the entire process fun and enjoyable. On the day of, Natalie's work was truly exceptional - she used high-quality products that left my skin looking fresh and radiant, and my hair stayed beautifully in place all night long. She graciously stayed extra time to do my tough ups, but we ran late in photos and didn't make it back to the room in time. However, she provided a touch-up kit to ensure I still looked and felt my absolute best. Natalie's gentle, calming presence was a true gift during the busy getting-ready time. I cannot recommend Bellizzimo Beauty enough - their exceptional service and stunning results were worth every penny and made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself on my special day.”

Weddings have been a part of my life since I was six years old. Growing up as the youngest of eight cousins, someone was always getting married. The summer of my 21st birthday, I started my career with weddings at an Alaskan lodge hosting ten weddings that first summer. Since then I've worked in floral design, photography, & the food/wine industries. In 2017, I toured California working event logistics at five different festivals, including Coachella.

“Rose was so incredibly helpful and thoughtful in helping us curate a rooftop reception following our SF City Hall marriage. Her expertise in event planning lended so much insight into what was needed to organize the event in the weeks prior, and her team’s attention to detail made our rooftop event really feel like a celebration. 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. We can’t thank Rose and her team enough for making our day feel special!”
