I’m Monique, the owner of Board in SLO, a Central Coast based charcuterie and grazing company! I create beautifully curated boards, grazing tables, and my signature mobile charcuterie cart (Brieyoncé) for weddings, welcome parties, and special events. I’m all about bringing people together over GREAT cheese, good vibes, and beautiful food. Every board and grazing table is made with premium cheeses, meats, edible flowers, and seasonal ingredients that look as good as they taste. Whether you’re planning a cozy gathering or a big celebration, I love helping couples make their day feel extra special (and delicious).

Monique was truly amazing to work with! She was responsive and adaptable. When another vendor fell through, she was recommended to me, and I’m so glad she was! She went above and beyond to provide for my clients. I can’t recommend her enough for all your charcuterie needs.

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.

We are Katie and Joseph, a husband and wife team making up the San Luis Obispo Wedding Photography duo that is Poppy & Vine. We met, fell in love, and founded our business together on the Central Coast of California, and love that we've gotten to make a career out of serving people on their happiest days! We are big fans of climbing mountains, going on road trips, tasting wines & craft beer, spending quality time with new friends and old, and mostly Jesus. We are two easy going people who are just about as goofy as they come, and we are big fans of a good dance party! We're so excited to meet you :)

Choosing Poppy and Vine as our wedding photographers was one of the best decisions we made. From our first conversation, they were simple to work with and answered all our questions without making things complicated. On our wedding day, they blended into the background and captured real moments between us and our guests—nothing felt posed or stiff. What really stood out was how they felt like a friend rather than just someone behind the camera, which made us feel comfortable and relaxed the entire time. Their photos have this authentic, natural quality that shows exactly who we are as a couple. We couldn't be happier with how they documented our day and would absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for genuine, beautiful wedding photography.

Without a doubt, Hotel Cerro is the perfect venue for an intimate wedding. My fiancé and I decided to plan our wedding to coordinate with our anniversary month and didn’t take into consideration that it was…3 months away. Haha! However, Hotel Cerro and their event planning manager, Jessica, made the experience as stress free as possible. The ceremony space is located on their second floor terrace. You are welcomed by a lush wall of greenery and glass paneling that gives you a view of the beautiful fig trees on the first floor. Across the terrace, is a full length glass wall that opens into the dining area where we had our reception. The space is intimate and inviting with exposed brick walls and windows that look down onto Garsden St. When touring the venue, Jessica was warm, friendly and easy to talk to which instantly took away some the nerves of the planning process. She took the extra time to get a feel for what we wanted for our wedding and offered suggestions of what we could do with the space. The fact that we didn’t have anything planned and a short timeline didn’t seem to phase her at all! She made it obvious that although we didn’t have a lot of time, she was going to keep us on track and get everything planned with us in time. During the tour we saw that the hotel also has an upper level pool area, “Fig Veranda” and an edible garden which are all perfect areas to do wedding photos. Each area has a different feeling to it and it added variety to our photos without having to go all over town. Plus, we had so much fun running around the hotel with our photographer the day of! Throughout the planning process, Jessica was responsive and made sure to keep me updated on due dates and what the next steps were for the planning process. If I had any questions (and I had a lot haha!), she made sure to get me whatever answers I needed quickly and offered multiple options if there were any. Their preferred flower vendor delivered us beautiful arrangements and set them up before the wedding which allowed us to focus on getting ready. They also had our personal flowers delivered to our room and sent photos of the table set up as a “sneak peek”! We stayed at Hotel Cerro for the weekend of our wedding and was pleasantly surprised by how luxurious our loft room was. It had more than enough space for our friends to visit while we got ready and took us about 5 seconds to get to the ceremony area. The staff was very welcoming and seemed to be just as excited as we were that we were having our wedding there! The wedding day was everything that we could have dreamed of and more. The ceremony space was set up on time which allowed us to put out decorations, the floor plan and day of time line was followed exactly how we had planned and the reception dinner was delicious! The staff was also extremely friendly and attentive to everyone during the event. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Hotel Cerro if you’re looking for an intimate wedding venue. With the help of Jessica, the planning and execution of our wedding day went as smoothly as one could have hoped for and allowed us to truly enjoy our special day without additional worries!

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.

Whether you prefer an enhanced natural look or an all-out glam, our artists will consult with you and learn your vision for your big day so that you can feel radiant and relaxed. We have a large team of artists and can usually accommodate any sized bridal party. So if it is just the Bride or the Bride and her 20 best friends, we've got you covered!

We had Rich and Felicity as our hair stylists and Maddie as our makeup artist. These folks were amazing on the day, stayed on schedule and were able to deliver great looks with humid weather. My main reason for going 4 stars is the booking and communication ahead of time was a little sparse, it can be confusing to use the Bluebird form and I had to be the one to reach out to ask for stylist contacts ahead of time to discuss how the day would go. There also is not a lot of artist-specific portfolio work to reference on their site. I probably would have preferred to book direct with the artists if it was possible.

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.

Capturing moments for the people I love, in the places they love, wherever that may be. There’s nothing more invigorating than giving people the opportunity to see themselves in a way that they never have before. Creating something meaningful for others is my passion. First, it’s important we get to know each other to make sure we’re a good fit cause trust me, it matters. I'll go first.

Fives across the board! Absolutely fell in love with Gage. Everything from his unique ability to capture a moment to his great personality. He made us feel like the only couple in the world. Gage made everything come to life. The big day seemed less stressful with him and his team there catching all the moments that mattered. Deciding whom to trust with the most important day of your life is stressful enough but make it easy on yourself and go with Gage! He’s out of this world and now apart of the family!
