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 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!

I've always had a love for color and light, and a passion for landscapes and people. Ever since highschool and into college photography was just something that, no pun intended, caught my eye. I've been shooting weddings for 6 years now and there's nothing Id rather be doing. I'm married to the love of my life Rachel, sandwiches are my favorite food and I love long walks on the beach. Seriously I do :)

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn’t be happier that we chose Dylan to capture our wedding day! From the moment we started looking at photographers, Dylan’s work stood out—he has such a natural eye for creating magic in his photos, beautifully balancing the people and the scenery in every shot. We booked Dylan for both photo and video, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Our package included a complimentary engagement session, which was the perfect way to get to know him and feel comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. Dylan made everything feel so effortless and fun, suggesting creative, candid ideas that felt natural to us as a couple. His wife joined as a second shooter, which added another amazing layer of coverage and perspective. Working with them as a team was an absolute joy—they instantly made us feel like old friends. On our wedding day, Dylan and his team (again with his wife as our bonus second shooter!) worked tirelessly to capture every moment. His professionalism and guidance were invaluable—whether it was suggesting the best lighting or pointing out opportunities for unforgettable shots, he always seemed to know exactly what would work. Despite the full day of shooting, he kept the atmosphere fun, lighthearted, and comfortable. It truly felt like having a friend by our side, not just a photographer. When we received our sneak peeks, we were blown away—and then the full gallery arrived, and it was beyond anything we could have dreamed of. Dylan’s ability to capture genuine emotion while also highlighting the beauty of the setting is unmatched. Every photo is vibrant, timeless, and filled with meaning. And then came the wedding video—an absolute masterpiece. Dylan’s artistry in weaving together the details, emotions, and moments of our day transported us right back to those memories. Watching it, we felt all the magic of our wedding day come flooding back. We are endlessly grateful to Dylan Kyle Photography for capturing our love story so beautifully. His talent, creativity, and warm personality made this experience unforgettable, and we can’t recommend him highly enough for anyone looking for a photographer or videographer.

Kari went above and beyond and delivered the most perfect wedding day. Her calm nature, professional and fun staff and her deep understanding of how to organize a wedding truly was apparent from the moment we hired her. She knows what to spend her time on, calms you down when you are freaking out about the little things, politely ushers you to the next event to keep the day on schedule. I never felt rushed, stressed, or worried about anything the entire day. She just handles it and everything happens in the background. I also had her do my floral arrangements. I told her the vibes I was looking for and she made them better than I could have ever imagined or found on pinterest. She is a true artist and so very experienced. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!!! Having her be a part of my day and now part of the memories of our wedding day is so special, she feels like family and we still reminisce about funny and magical things that happened that day with Kari!

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. Candice's insights and experience are invaluable and the energy she brings on the day of is unparalleled.

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. We are so grateful for their incredible service and highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a truly memorable wedding experience.

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.

From our first correspondence, Anna's communication was easy, sweet, and efficient - she clearly cared about making my experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. On the day of, Anna's work was simply beautiful, creating a gorgeous, natural look that made me feel amazing. She has such a talent for enhancing my natural features in the most flattering way.

We got married at The Cliffs in 2013, and it was an absolutely beautiful day. Anna and her team ensured that every detail, big and small, was thoughtfully taken care of, allowing us to fully enjoy each moment. The Cliffs is an incredible resort for a beachfront wedding, with the flexibility of both indoor and outdoor reception spaces. Now that I work in the wedding industry, I have even more appreciation for The Cliffs and how dedicated they are to creating magical experiences for their couples. Their commitment to making each wedding day special truly shines through.
