Guests come to events looking for great food, amazing drinks and a one of a kind guest experience. We help you deliver that to your guests, all while keeping your event true to the both of you. Offer full wedding planning and coordination.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kari did an amazing job of planning and coordinating our wedding. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, kind and always available to answer our questions and make suggestions about vendors and other details. We were planning from out of town, so having Kari was essential in our planning and I am certain it would have been a mess without her! She is well known and well respected within the wedding planning community in Paso and it was obvious that all of our vendors loved working with her. On our rainy wedding day, she and her team seamlessly moved our ceremony inside at the last minute and transformed the space into something truly gorgeous and magical with the beautiful winery vibes that we wanted while keeping everyone dry. They were then able to transform that same space for dinner. We didn't think it was possible for us and our families to have a relaxing day pre-wedding, especially with rain, but we truly did. Kari and her team took care of everything and kept everything on schedule with every detail attended to, and we didn't have to worry about anything. She also did our flowers which were gorgeous, reasonably priced and exactly what we had hoped for. Throughout the entire planning process and on our wedding day, Kari and her team brought great style and energy that helped make our special day truly unforgettable and better than we could have ever imagined. We are so grateful for their hard work, attention to detail and would not hesitate to put your full trust in her and her team to create the wedding of your dreams! It was quite honestly the BEST money we spent on our wedding.

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.

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.

Moonglow Floral is a boutique floral design studio that creates extraordinary floral experiences for discerning clients hosting events on the Central Coast of California. We strive to create a concierge experience for busy clients through a streamlined planning process, clear communication, and creative guidance. Moonglow Floral strives to be a safe and inclusive business for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ clients as well as a safe vendor for all ages, bodies, and abilities. Moonglow Floral is happy to collaborate with clients to incorporate cultural or religious traditions into their floral designs. Inclusivity is an ongoing intention.

It's hard for me to put into words the glowing review that Tessa deserves. From start to finish she was so attentive and receptive to our vision. We had multiple text, email, phone call exchanges and she was so patient with me as I was constantly changing my mind or adding something in the mix. She provided amazing input as well. I am so happy that I could send her my Pinterest board and screenshot of ideas and she just completely made it come to life. Her expertise made our planning experience seamless, as we could completely trust in her talent and her vision. I almost cried when she brought in my bouquet as it was exactly as I imagined, and somehow even better. Everything from the dining table florals, to the bar set up, and the ceremony florals completely blew our already high expectations out of the water and the arrangements will always be a highlight of our day and photos. Something I also loved about Moonglow is that Tessa provides extra cuttings for things like the details photos, cake table, etc included, that you may not necessarily think of but because of her experience, she knows that these are needed. She even provided things like extra water vases for my bouquet and the bridesmaid's bouquets to incorporate into the reception space. Not only is Tessa extremely talented, she is so wonderful to work with and so kind. She really is a one stop shop as the creator of the florals as well as the person doing the set up, this was so incredible as it's her vision coming to life from start to finish. Her responsiveness and professionalism throughout this process was 10/10 as well. We couldn't be happier and we still get compliments on our wedding florals! THANK YOU Moonglow Floral!!

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.

We booked Monica for month-of coordination, and she immediately acted like a true partner. She offered clear advice, scheduled check-ins, and tracked our progress so there were no surprises. When the weekend arrived, she took over smoothly and made everything easy. She managed setup, coordinated every vendor, kept the timeline tight, solved problems quietly, and oversaw teardown. On Sunday morning our items were already condensed, labeled, and staged by the exit, so pickup took minutes. Beyond all the compliments on the wedding, we heard constant praise for Monica herself. She is organized, calm, and relentlessly helpful. We could not recommend her more.

Her gorgeous documentary-style photography captured all the special moments beautifully. Heather was also skilled at keeping the family and guests out of the way when needed, allowing us to fully enjoy our day without disruption. Our pictures are absolutely amazing, and we couldn't be happier with the final results. Heather's professionalism and talent made her a true asset on our wedding day.

Everything ran seamlessly, and it was so beautiful and memorable. All of your recommendations about the flowers, the band, the set up, the photographer and the food were wonderful. It truly was fabulous! Plus, with all the uncertainty and changes caused by the pandemic, you really kept the stress off of us. I really cannot fully express my gratitude to you. Again, thank you for all of your thoughtfulness and hard work.

Patrick did a wonderful job at our wedding. He talked us through all the steps leading up to it, helped my husband coordinate a sweet surprise and had the perfect energy to engage our guests and help tell our story. I highly recommend Patrick!
