The Backyard on Thirteenth was the perfect venue for our welcome reception.

I love how her pricing includes a board for the bridal party to enjoy while getting ready too! 10/10

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!

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. Would recommend Candice and her team to anyone I know and so grateful for them on my wedding day.

Andy is the absolute dream to work with! We were lucky enough to meet Andy through a wedding expo event at Hunter Ranch where we won an engagement photoshoot with him through one of the event raffles. Upon formally meeting him at the engagement shoot, we instantly felt how down to earth and easy Andy was to chat and work with. He made us feel extremely comfortable and at ease during the whole shoot and then went the extra mile and got us our photos within 48 hrs. We instantly hired him for our wedding and it was truly the best decision we could have made. The time leading up to the wedding, Andy was a clear communicator always offering ideas or working with us directly to learn exactly what style, ideas, anything specific we wanted capture for our big day and when it came to the big day, he absolutely crushed the vision and went above and beyond to capture our love and connection in photo form. He was open to any and every idea and loves to think outside of the box when it comes to fun photo visions. He provided us with the most beautiful photos we could have ever wanted. He was a vital person to help us lock down our wedding timeline and ensure we took photos when we wanted and he was super great at also allowing us time to fully soak in our wedding and not be pulled away for too long each time. Andy is truly an incredible photographer and person. We could not recommend him as a photographer for any special event, and especially for weddings.

Hey there! My name is Tiffany Wiere, the owner and sole wedding planner of Wiere Weddings! I was born and raised in Australia, and moved to the US 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 absolutely adore the small details and believe each wedding is truly unique to each couple.

On the day of our wedding, she was on top of everything, keeping the timeline smooth and stress-free so we could truly enjoy our day. Her calm and positive energy set the tone for everyone around her, and it was clear she genuinely cared about making our day perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator.

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!

If you’re looking for a photographer for your event in the SLO/Santa Barbara area, Sarah at Mirror’s Edge Photography is hands down the best choice in central California. I booked Sarah for my wedding and engagement shoot, and she literally SAVED my wedding! Two weeks before we said I do, the long-term coordinator at our venue left without any notice -leaving us to pick up the pieces. For context, my husband and I live all the way in Richmond, VA, so SLO was a destination wedding for us and our families -some of whom traveled as far as Berlin, Germany, to be with us on our special day. When everything seemed to go wrong, Sarah was there to help step in and put us back on track. We first met Sarah for an engagement shoot. Her communication was impeccable; she arrived early and had no problem handling the chaotic whirlwind my husband and I had become. Not only did she have an amazingly bright personality, but she was also so prepared and professional. Later, she helped us adjust our day-of schedule to ensure the best lighting for pictures and the smoothest flow for wait staff. She even met up with us for an extra beach shoot when the fog rolled in the day before. After our first hour together, I realized that Sarah really truly had my back, and for the first time in weeks I was actually able to exhale and enjoy myself. The pictures she took of my husband and me are without a doubt the best we’ve ever had. Unfortunately, my wedding day misfortune would continue when my only bridesmaid, who was also my maid of honor, missed her flight. Sarah picked me up off the floor, dusted me off, and got me back into the proper headspace. If I needed my veil adjusted, she was there -no one to hold my bouquet? No problem; she shot pictures with one hand. When I say this woman is a superstar, I really truly mean it. By the end of our time together, I genuinely felt like I’d gained not only a new friend, but also an older sister. Sarah’s talent as a photographer speaks for itself, but when you hire her, you get so much more than just a professional. Do yourself a favor and book with Mirror’s Edge!

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.

As a food stylist, event planner, and business owner with over 20 years in hospitality and catering, 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

I’ve worked with LouLou Events going on about ten times now, both personally (for friends and family gatherings), as well as professionally (we at Edible Magazine hire her for both her food styling, and event production). I'm not only in awe of her style and the aesthetic she brings to any event or setup; I also appreciate her work ethic and processes. She’s quick and efficient in her responses (a dream for my type-A personality), is dependable, and has an unmatched eye for design. Everything, I mean everything, she creates is beautiful. The events always feel special and thoughtfully done. They leave a lasting impression on guests -- it is exactly what I hope for. Over time I’ve relied on her for all kinds of needs, from production and food styling for various magazine shoots; event management for gatherings; tablescape design for a cookbook party; food setups for long shoot days. She’s someone I return to again and again because she is professional, kind, and delivers every single time. I would recommend her to anybody.

The kind of moments that happen in a blink—the way your partner looks at you when you’re laughing, the quiet hand squeeze before you walk down the aisle, the little glances and laughter that make your day uniquely yours. My style blends candid storytelling with a relaxed vibe, so your photos feel natural, connected, and full of emotion. Imagine flipping through your favorite memories, only prettier!

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!

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 :)

Poppy and Vine were the perfect photographers for our wedding day. From our very first interaction, their communication was clear, timely, and incredibly helpful as we planned all the details. On the day of, they were personable, fun, and truly captured the genuine feeling and emotion of the moment through their beautiful photos. We are thrilled with how the images turned out - they perfectly encapsulate the joy and love of our special day. Poppy and Vine went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing experience, and we would highly recommend them to any couple looking for talented, dedicated wedding photographers.

Wedding photography is truly the most fulfilling and rewarding career for me. I am an absolute perfectionist in every aspect from wedding preparation to editing the final picture of the gallery. I have been involved with 450 weddings as of 2026.

We couldn’t be happier with Pete for our recent ranch-style wedding. From the very first meeting, he truly listened to our vision of an intimate, heartfelt celebration and brought it to life in the most beautiful way. He handled every detail with such care and creativity — from coordinating the DJ setup, lights, photography to making sure the barbecue feast was to take place at the right time and music vibes flowed perfectly. What stood out most was how he went above and beyond — coming early to fix last-minute issues, adding thoughtful personal touches we hadn’t even thought of, and keeping everything running smoothly so we could actually relax and enjoy our day. Our guests are still raving about how seamless and magical it felt. If you’re planning a country or rustic wedding (or any wedding!), do yourself a favor and book Pete and his team. He’s professional, responsive, and genuinely passionate about making your day unforgettable. The pictures were stunning! Highly, highly recommend!
