Venue considerations

  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
  • Not for you if you are looking for something nontraditional
  • Lighting and sound are not included
For our 140 person, somewhat diy wedding, this place worked really well. They were accommodating about all my questions and for additional set up time and there were no surprises when it came to pay. HOWEVER there are important things to note w this venue- first is that they decorate heavily for their xmas market starting just before thanksgiving. Second is that they can sometimes be a little all over the place with who to talk to which for us resulted in being double booked for our original Nov date- we paid our deposit, booked a dream photographer, and were about to send save-the-dates when they contacted me that they made a mistake. In the end, we got a very good date in Oct and they made it right thru discounts and paying me the difference of what id lost from the photographer not being able to make the new date. Third thing is i was under the impression when i booked that we would have a coordinator from the venue on the day-of and that is not the case. Many of the staff are helpful but there is not a designated person for running your day outside of the table/linen set up and f&b. Last thing- their office phone system is not great, i always struggled w extensions and had to have their front desk transfer me to their Special Events staff, its small but when youre stressed planning it got to me. Overall, i would recommend them to folks who like a little kitsch, a little cottagecore, and a mostly inclusive experience.

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!

  • Photographer

  • Starts at $1,700
  • Serves Cambria, CA

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. I've been shooting weddings for 6 years now and there's nothing Id rather be doing. I'm married to the love of my life Rachel, sandwiches are my favorite food and I love long walks on the beach. Seriously I do :)

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn’t be happier that we chose Dylan to capture our wedding day! From the moment we started looking at photographers, Dylan’s work stood out—he has such a natural eye for creating magic in his photos, beautifully balancing the people and the scenery in every shot. We booked Dylan for both photo and video, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Our package included a complimentary engagement session, which was the perfect way to get to know him and feel comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. Dylan made everything feel so effortless and fun, suggesting creative, candid ideas that felt natural to us as a couple. His wife joined as a second shooter, which added another amazing layer of coverage and perspective. Working with them as a team was an absolute joy—they instantly made us feel like old friends. On our wedding day, Dylan and his team (again with his wife as our bonus second shooter!) worked tirelessly to capture every moment. His professionalism and guidance were invaluable—whether it was suggesting the best lighting or pointing out opportunities for unforgettable shots, he always seemed to know exactly what would work. Despite the full day of shooting, he kept the atmosphere fun, lighthearted, and comfortable. It truly felt like having a friend by our side, not just a photographer. When we received our sneak peeks, we were blown away—and then the full gallery arrived, and it was beyond anything we could have dreamed of. Dylan’s ability to capture genuine emotion while also highlighting the beauty of the setting is unmatched. Every photo is vibrant, timeless, and filled with meaning. And then came the wedding video—an absolute masterpiece. Dylan’s artistry in weaving together the details, emotions, and moments of our day transported us right back to those memories. Watching it, we felt all the magic of our wedding day come flooding back. We are endlessly grateful to Dylan Kyle Photography for capturing our love story so beautifully. His talent, creativity, and warm personality made this experience unforgettable, and we can’t recommend him highly enough for anyone looking for a photographer or videographer.

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!!

We requested left overs for my husband and I in our bridal suite because we had been warned bride and groom don’t get to each much at the wedding because of all the talking! When we got up to the room later there were 2 to-go boxes made for us and tons of leftovers!! We had sooo many compliments on the food and staff. What a great business and team! Thank you so much! We will continue to recommend you to all our friends! -Dalton and Skylar Nettleton

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 had the absolute pleasure of working with LouLou as a month of coordinator for my wedding, and I couldn’t recommend her enough. From start to finish, LouLou was amazing to work with. She was super easy to communicate with, prompt in responding to all of my questions and concerns and even checked in on me periodically to see how I was doing and where my stress level was at, which I really appreciated :). LouLou was really well organized, and this was evident throughout the entire planning process but especially over our wedding weekend as she made sure every detail was covered/handled. What truly set LouLou apart was her incredible ability to roll with the punches and keep a calm and fun demeanor that helped keep me at ease and really took a lot of stress off of me in terms of worrying about event logistics. I had a lot of trust in her that things would go well and really didn’t have to worry about a thing the day of our wedding because I knew we were in good hands, and I think that’s the best thing you can ask for as a bride! Beyond her skills, LouLou is just a great person to work with and made wedding planning with her feel more like I was working with a friend than a business person, which I loved. Her positive energy and fun-loving nature made the entire planning process enjoyable and stress-free for me. Bonus is that her grazing boards are also amazing so she is a double-threat when it comes to her offerings! If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who is not only skilled but also an absolute delight to work with, LouLou is your girl! She truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day great, and I would work with her 100 times again in the future. Thank you, LouLou!!

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.

I'm a passionate wedding photographer dedicated to capturing the authentic beauty and emotions of your special day. With a deep love for storytelling through timeless, fine art imagery, I focus on creating photographs that reflect the unique essence of each couple. Serving my clients with care and attention to detail is at the heart of everything I do, ensuring that your memories are preserved with love and artistry.

We couldn’t be more thrilled with our experience working with April! From start to finish, she was incredibly communicative and attentive, always making sure our vision for our wedding and engagement photos was understood. April made us feel so comfortable throughout the process, which was especially important for us as we’re not used to being in front of the camera. The photos themselves are stunning! Each shot beautifully captures the love, emotion, and special moments of our big day. We were blown away by how she was able to seamlessly blend candid moments with beautifully composed portraits. What really sets April apart is how she went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. Whether it was helping with last-minute adjustments on the day of or offering thoughtful suggestions during our engagement shoot in San Luis Obispo and Pismo Beach, she made us feel like we were the top priority. We can’t recommend April enough for anyone looking for a wedding or engagement photographer. If you want someone who’s professional, easy to work with, and capable of delivering truly breathtaking images, she is the perfect choice! Thank you again for making our day so special and for capturing memories we will cherish forever!
