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!

From our very first call, she felt like someone we could trust, and by the end of the wedding, she genuinely felt like family. Our day ran flawlessly, and so many guests praised how incredible she was. Her pricing is fair, her communication is excellent, and she balances professionalism with a warm, personal touch.

“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!”

As a food stylist, event planner, and business owner with over 25 years in hospitality and events, 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

“Lou is incredible and I absolutely LOVED working with her. Having her coordinate my wedding was - hands down - the best decision I made about the whole process. Working in the event industry myself, I just couldn't wrap my head around my own wedding... thank goodness Lou was ready for everything! She set us up with great timelines, connected us with some awesome and affordable local vendors, and really came through making magic happen *both* behind-the-scenes and literally setting the scene. Vibes? Check! Hustle? Check! She flawlessly made my vision come to life. It was honestly such a relief working with her. I can get really anxious and overwhelmed, and she walked and talked me through every step at a pace that felt consistent and manageable... and when I slacked, she kicked my butt back into gear, which I needed 100% lol. She has such a respectable history coordinating events, she preempted things I never even considered. I highly recommend working with her!”

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.

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.”

Our hard work, loyalty, and professionalism shine through in every project we undertake. We believe in transparency and always strive for the perfect end result.

“When I finally reached out to Otilia at Sparkling Stars Events, I had been planning my wedding alone for about 7-8 months without a coordinator. Hiring this company was the best decision I ever made. I highly recommend not only hiring a coordinator but hiring Sparkling Stars specifically. Being the only person in my family to get married in over 15 years, it was daunting to plan. Although I planned some of my wedding, Otilia kept me on track with the finer details leading up to the day, comforted me when I was stressed and helped make our wedding the most magical day. Our venue, while beautiful, ended up being a lot more disorganized and chaotic than we were led to believe. Due to this, the night before the wedding and morning of we had to release full control and trust to Otilia because at that point there was nothing more that we could do to change what the venue had done. Our day surpassed our expectations. It was the most beautiful and Sparkling Stars really took control and calmed our worries. I never felt so seen in my vision and letting go of my stress felt so easy with Otilia. We had so many small details and DIYS that were exactly where we envisioned. Everything was so well executed. Aside from that, they felt like family. They were so sweet and kind throughout the wedding day we did not feel like we were putting on a production or being pulled left to right. They were also welcoming, sweet and polite to all guests and family. My biggest regret during this entire bridal era was not hiring Otilia from the very start of my planning. We love you guys and are definitely hiring for our vow renewal!! 3”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding coordinator! From the very beginning, she took the time to customize a package that fit exactly what we were looking for instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Throughout the planning process, she was incredibly responsive and always quick to answer the random questions we sent her. She met with us over Zoom several times and even met with our officiant beforehand, which helped her feel more comfortable and confident going into the ceremony. She thought of so many details we never would have considered and offered suggestions that truly elevated our day. She also communicated with all of our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page and that everything ran smoothly. At the rehearsal, she kept everything organized and made sure everyone understood their roles so we could relax. On our wedding day, she made sure we felt calm and could truly enjoy every moment. She brought our vision to life, placing everything where we had envisioned while adding thoughtful touches that made it even more beautiful. She even made last-minute prints to fill an empty cork board and displayed our names and wedding date on the TV in a way that perfectly matched our theme. Her dedication didn’t end after the wedding. Even though it wasn’t included in our contract, she came back the next day to make sure everything was returned where it was supposed to be. That level of care meant so much to us.

Every single detail was meticulously executed, and we received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and seamless everything was. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, patient, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect, look no further than Ashley. She made what could have been a stressful and overwhelming process into something fun and memorable. Thank you, Ashley for making our dream wedding a reality!”

“If I had one piece of advice for every bride getting married at the Madonna Inn, it would be to hire Krissy. Her and her team were able to expertly execute my day and we’re outstanding partners throughout the entire planning process. They helped me get tire grease out of my dress, they made sure that my fiancé showed up to the ceremony on time, and they expertly handled multiple family members in our processional. They are able to make outstanding recommendations for any and all vendors that you’re looking for, and they even do their own floral arranging if that’s something you’re interested in. We are incredibly grateful to Krissy and the team for all of their hard work and we are so glad for any couple who gets to work with them in the future.”

“Courtney Stammler was instrumental when I hosted a Women’s Wellness Retreat for over 85 women. She not only helped with the logistics, she shared an inspiring poem for International Women’s Day and then led a powerful sacred ceremony: Emotions overflowed as we released negativity and embraced positivity, creating an empowered and resilient community of women. As we held hands in a circle, tears of joy and liberation flowed freely as we released our worries and embraced our authentic strengths. Witnessing women come together, uplift and support each other was truly breathtaking. Thank you, Courtney, for creating a moment of pure magic! Jovie BT, MSN, FNP-C”

Zuzu Collective is a bespoke wedding planning studio specializing in immersive, story-driven weddings in San Diego and throughout California and worldwide. We start with your story — your taste, your vision, what you want people to feel — and build a world from there.

“We’ve been raving about how our day felt like us. Zoe was such a big part of this. Throughout the event, Zoe was a constant calm and organized force. She nailed the tablescape and venue decor, going above and beyond with her attention to detail and creativity. I felt that she took the time to know exactly what we wanted. There were multiple moments where I felt she went above and beyond. I knew I could turn to her if I needed anything knowing that the event was in good hands as the evening progressed. Since we hired multiple vendors independently, the group needed organization and direction - Zoe was the guiding leader for our night. We had some unexpected challenges, she managed it all so well and prevented us from having any stress with a completely level headed and professional demeanor. I found that her communication style before, during, and after the event was thorough, caring, and honest. During our planning call, she showed in multiple ways that she cared about what we wanted out of the day and intended to really help us achieve the correct vibe. She was truly a pleasure to work with and recommendations were wonderful. Our friends are raving about the event and so are we. I do really accredit this to Zoe and the energy she brought to coordinating our event. I HIGHLY recommend Zuzu Collective. Thank you for everything, Zoe!”

She stayed attentive and available leading up to the big day, always ready to review details and offer advice when we needed it. She has an excellent network of vendors to recommend where needed.
