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.

Seriously I do :)

My wife and I are beyond thankful we had Dylan as our wedding photographer. Dylan is absolutely INCREDIBLE. He is extremely talented, easy to work with, great with communication, and captured the most beautiful pictures at both our wedding and engagement shoot. It felt like we had another friend with us at our wedding and he made us feel so relaxed and happy over the course of the day. Choosing Dylan was without a doubt one of the best decisions we made in the entire wedding planning process and we highly recommend him to all.

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!

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000

Hi there, Im Savannah! I discovered my passion for photography at 15 years old, when I first picked up my grandpa’s camera and instantly fell in love with capturing moments. When I'm not behind the lens, you’ll find me enjoying sunsets, jamming out to live music, hanging out with my dog, Paisley, or savoring some authentic Italian cuisine (though Mexican food is a close second!). I cherish the joy of transforming clients into friends and hope we can connect over some of these shared interests. Whether we’re exploring new places or just hanging out in the stunning central coast, I’m eager to bring your vision to life.

Savannah Grace Photography was the perfect wedding photographer for our special day. Her communication style was effective, respectful, and kind. She was incredibly organized, which allowed us to get through all of our wedding party, family, and solo photos quickly during cocktail hour. Savannah made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process and beautifully captured all the emotion and happiness of our wedding. The final photos were absolutely stunning - warm, professional, and exactly the vibe we were going for. Savannah listened to our preferences and helped us through posing and set up of photos so we didn’t feel awkward at all. We are thrilled with the results and couldn't have asked for a better photographer to document our wedding day.

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’s help and arranging at our wedding was invaluable . She’s very professional and still so easy to talk to about ideas, she was full of suggestions that helped make it a beautiful and really smooth day. When I had an idea she figured out how it could be implemented, when I felt a little bit lost she was ready with helpful suggestions that took a lot of the pressure off. Her arrangements were beautiful, the whole event went so smoothly and made it so that we could focus on the specialness of the day trusting that Monica had a constant pulse on the logistics and timing. We are incredibly grateful for her help. Highly recommend!

Went with the flow throughout the day and were a pleasure to have around. We cannot wait to get our video back from them as we are sure it's going to be incredible!

Couples are guided every step of the way throughout the planning and design process. While no details are left unturned, Embark Event Design is able to seamlessly execute impeccable events and help create unique moments that will last a lifetime.

I had the pleasure of working with Embark Event Design for our wedding, and I cannot express how thrilled we were with the incredible job they did. From start to finish, Sarah went above and beyond to make our special day truly magical. Planning a wedding for 190 people with multiple spread-out locations within the venue was no small feat, but Sarah handled it with grace and professionalism. She expertly coordinated every aspect of the event, ensuring that every detail was executed flawlessly. Sarah also planned our welcome party, which also included 190 guests, and turned a Lakeside Dock into a magnificent rodeo / hoe-down location that guests were talking about for days! The result was a wedding that was nothing short of luxury and gorgeousness, exceeding our wildest dreams. The decor, the floral arrangements, and the overall ambiance were simply breathtaking. Sarah executed on our ideas and requests to create a wedding design that transformed the venue into a fairy tale setting. What truly set Sarah apart, though, was her ability to handle difficulties with ease. There were moments when unexpected challenges arose, such as difficult access to certain locations within the venue that limited transportation options. However, Sarah remained calm and composed, swiftly coming up with solutions that ensured the event continued seamlessly. Her problem-solving skills were truly remarkable, and it allowed us to relax and enjoy our day without any worries. Additionally, Sarah demonstrated remarkable people skills. She interacted effortlessly with our family members, some of whom posed challenges during the planning process, making everyone feel welcome and valued. Her ability to navigate interpersonal dynamics ensured that the atmosphere was harmonious and stress-free throughout the day. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sarah and her team to anyone planning a large wedding. If you're looking to create a chic, elegant event with beautiful touches and a fun vibe, they are the perfect choice. Their dedication, creativity, and exceptional organizational skills will turn your wedding dreams into a reality. Thank you, Embark Event Design, for making our wedding day the best day of our lives!

  • Florist
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves San Luis Obispo, CA

Scarborough Affair, was founded by the talented floral designer Laura Ellen in the Summer of 2019 in San Francisco, CA. In 2020 Laura moved her business to Dallas, Tx. During her stay, Laura was privileged to work with some of the top Interior Designers in the Country and was the exclusive florist for Carbone/Vino Dallas. Her floral designs have graced the pages of the most renowned magazines today. Laura is a true gem in the world of floristry. With a passion for upscale and sophisticated designs, Laura has brought her expertise back to California, infusing every creation with a touch of elegance and artistry.

I commissioned Scarborough Affair as my floral vendor for my wedding in October and could not have been happier with my experience and the services provided. The bouquets, boutonnieres, flower girl crowns, corsages, table arrangements and trellis garlands were absolutely breathtaking and more beautiful than I could have hoped for or imagined. Not only did my husband and I love the floral designs, our family and friends did too, and our pictures turned out lovely. Selecting flowers for an event like a wedding can be overwhelming and stressful with so many options, but the owner, Laura, made the experience pleasant. She has a unique talent for helping you find the flowers and colors you love and bringing your vision to life in an elegant, artistic way. Laura thoughtfully listened to my ideas and color scheme, as well as budget and used her stylistic eye, knowledge/experience, and creativity to construct stunning and lovely smelling arrangements. On the day of the wedding, Scarborough Affair arrived punctually, set up efficiently in the limited venue set up time, meticulously inspected the arrangements (which were pristinely composed), and created a beautiful ambiance at the venue. On a side note, I was also impressed at how fresh the flowers were and how well they held up, as my wedding day happened during an extreme heatwave. I would definitely highly recommend using Scarborough Affair for a wedding or special occasion. I am truly grateful to SA for having my wedding flowers turn out so perfectly and helping make such a momentous day so special and memorable. Thank you!

The Madonna Inn was a beautiful wedding venue, but the communication and coordination with the staff left much to be desired. The head venue coordinator was difficult to work with and constantly butted heads with our wedding coordinator, making our day more stressful than it needed to be. The chairs for the ceremony were set up just 10 minutes before our guests arrived, and the overall communication from the venue could have been a lot better. Despite these issues, the staff was generally great, and the venue itself was stunning. However, the poor coordination and communication made the planning process more challenging than it should have been.

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.

Channon and Kari were both amazing. We toured in 2023, and Channon was extremely welcoming and warm. We toured on a wedding day, which was perfect because we were able to envision what our special day would look like. We toured about 7 other venues in the area and quickly realized that Oak & Ivy at Home Sweet Home was where we wanted to have our special day. Kari went through the budget with us before we hired her on, and she was extremely helpful and responsive throughout the planning process. I can't recommend her enough for planning. She planned a Taylor Swift themed Speakeasy that was AMAZING, and would highly recommend doing one if it's in the budget. Kari also did our florals- we loved them! Kari and Channon were great at communicating when things were due so we were able to stay on track without stressing out. We loved having our wedding day there and wouldn't change it for the world!

Hey there! My name is Tiffany Wiere, the owner and lead planner of Wiere Weddings! I was born and raised in Australia, and moved to the USA 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 studied hospitality management at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa, and have been working as an events and catering manager ever since. My love for events, and especially weddings, is my passion. I love hearing each couples love story and how I can make their wedding day a reflection of them!

Awarded Best of Zola
Background of Our Wedding: Our wedding was in early April 2024 in San Luis Obispo, CA with a bit less than 40 guests. However, a big challenge was that we had our Ceremony venue at a different location than the Reception venue. We really needed a coordinator that wouldn’t shy from this challenge. Booking & Before the Month-of: We found Tiffany on Zola & booked her almost right away. Tiffany was very transparent with pricing and expectations of service. She was ready to answer any questions we had. If you feel like you’re unsure what you’re looking for, she has an answer for you or at least help guide you to know what you might want for your big day. It is a big plus that her website with the booking process was easy and straightforward. We got Tiffany for Month-of Coordination but it feels like she was with us along the way of the almost-a-year planning process. The Month-of: This is when you will be working with Tiffany the most! I enjoyed every single meeting, phone calls, and brief texts with her. Meeting with Tiffany helps me pull together our vision much better day by day. She helped me believe that we could achieve it all. Since we’re from out of town, she made sure that we’d meet up whenever we could to ensure everything would be in place for the big day. The Rehearsal: Tiffany was indeed the first one to be at the venue with our binder printed out. (I most definitely forgot to print my binder for her.) She greeted all of my wedding party with the most warm welcome, which we appreciated very much and felt very comfortable working with her. We had specific requests on timing of the processional and she made it work! After the rehearsal, we definitely felt that we were very ready for the big day. The Day-of: It’s time for you to let go. Because I promise you, Tiffany and her awesome team got it! I saw her the morning of & I felt so calm because I knew Tiffany was going to perform her magic for us. Tiffany’s team magically set up our Ceremony Venue in just an hour. By the time I arrived at the venue, things were already in place & neat. It was a great feeling to see your vision coming alive. I remember I was able to just toss my car key to Tiffany’s team member & they immediately understood what I needed. Everything from then on was just very on-schedule and beautiful. Tiffany dealt with our families with the uttermost grace and patience. There was nobody I’d trust more than her to carry out our day. I did not have to worry about anything. We just enjoyed our day the most. The End: Tiffany somehow packed up everything neatly for us and even some of our vendors - like a fairy godmother. She sent us a long text of where things were and even returned things for us to our vendors. Exactly what we needed! Made our day-after MUCH better. Tiffany, Sean, & Katie - We cannot thank you enough. We can’t wait to plan our few-year anniversary with you. Keep on shining.

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 and her team were a wonderful asset to ensuring the enjoyment of our wedding! We hired Rose as a month of coordinator for our May 2024 wedding. Once we started working with her the month prior to the wedding a lot of my anxieties regarding how the day was going to go were taken away due to her depth of experience and professionalism. She really took the reins during those last weeks to follow up on final details with our vendors and getting closer to the date I had people asking me if I was stressed out and I can honestly say that I was not as I knew that we were in great hands. The time frame leading up to the wedding I felt my excitement build with each meeting that we had with Rose! The day of the wedding her team of professionals I feel went above and beyond to ensure that everything was to my wishes. They constantly checked in on me during the whole day from when I started getting my makeup done to the last dance, I felt incredibly happy and was truly able to enjoy my wedding day. They made sure everything ran smoothly, that I stayed hydrated, that I ate at cocktail hour and dinner, helped me change into my second dress of the evening and even helped to fix my hair. I highly recommend anybody looking for a wedding coordinator to hire Rose to the Occasions. We are so glad that we did and can sincerely say that it made our wedding the best day of our lives!

Dave Tate made our wedding a dream! He played as the guests arrived before the ceremony and really set the tone for a beautiful and heartfelt wedding. 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. So many of our guests commented on what an amazing musician he was and how much they loved what he played and sang. Thank you for adding so much to our unforgettable day, Dave!!

I've been working in the beauty industry over 21 years. My career began after earning a cosmetology license, at the age of 19. This is when I began working for prestigious cosmetic companies such as Chanel, Estee Lauder, and MAC. I received training from leading people in the makeup industry, along with assisting and working along side celebrity makeup artists. Roles I've held during my career include working as a freelance makeup artist, cosmetic retail manager, cosmetic business manager, and makeup trainer.

Anna was truly amazing! She was very communicative and made sure she understood what I was hoping for and that she was capturing my personal style. During the trial she made adjustments and gave me different options to help me find my perfect look. She made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day and I'm so happy I went with her!

Tami Bernard Makeup Artist LLC 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 8
  • Serves San Luis Obispo, CA

Tami Bernard is a freelance professional makeup artist who is an educator and specializes in bridal makeup. She is known for making her clients look breathtaking. Using her own techniques and small brushes helps her to achieve skin that looks beautiful and evenly blended, as though she is using a magnifying glass. Tami has been trained in Los Angeles, New York, and New Orleans. Tami has created a team of artists that work with her to keep up with the demand of the ever-growing wedding industry.

This recommendation comes so easily, as hiring Tami was one of the absolute best choices I made first my wedding. From the early messaging back and forth, all the way up to the day of my wedding, Tami was a dream to work with. She’s so sweet, helpful and accommodating… she just really made the whole process as easy as possible. Then, on the day of my bridal makeup trial, she proved her skills and talent! Not only did she make me feel more beautiful and “myself” than I had in years… possibly ever; she was willing to try different colors and tweak different aspects until it was just right. One thing I was most concerned about are the acne scars on my cheeks, and I let her know this and that I’d like to conceal them as much as possible but also explained that I didn’t want the foundation to look cake-y. And I don’t know what kind of sorcery she did but my skin looked fantastic, and that confidence honestly was everything I could’ve hoped for as a bride. Lastly, one other thing that was a really cool bonus when working with Tami is that she taught me something about my specific skintone & undertone that has frustrated me my whole life and has ultimately changed the way I do my makeup with huge benefits, and for that I’m eternally grateful. So, should you hire Tami Bernard as your makeup artist for your wedding (or any other big event)? Yes! You won’t find anyone sweeter, more knowledgeable or more skilled.. that I’m certain of.
