Nena is so nice and great. We got engaged right as the pandemic began and had a very tumultuous…read moreyear of planning and not knowing what was going to happen next. Nena was there with us every step of the way. I'm very detail oriented about vendors and budgeting so the partial planning was perfect for us. Nena helped guide us and give us advice but we managed day to day communications and budgeting. When it comes to design I'm hopeless but loved all of her work so really just let Nena and the vino fiore team do their job and gave input where needed which was perfect for us. When we finally got the big day (thankfully!) everything was just stunning and all in all went very smoothly. The couple hiccups that happened I felt that Nena and the whole team was all over it, even going out to buy more margarita mix when we ran out!! Overall we had a great experience especially considering all of the uncertainty this year and the huge influx in events Nena had when the world opened back up after not doing weddings for so long. We love you Nena!

The entire wedding planning process was seamless and so much fun. Nena had so many creative ideas and executed flawlessly. We loved how easy her wedding planning software was to keep track of all of our expenses and when payments became due. While picking out our florals Nena was very concious of our budget gave us tons of options so we could get the most value out of our floral budget. They looked absolutely stunning. Having a planner that lived near the venue was so helpful in planning a destination wedding. Nena has great relationships with the other wedding vendors in the area and had great recommendations for each aspect of planning. We loved taking weekend trips down to Paso to do cake and catering tastings and always loved meeting with Nena. I left every meeting so calm knowing that all the details were covered and I could just enjoy the entire wedding weekend without worrying about anything but spending time with all of our guests. Our guests raved about all of the details that were so perfect and thoughtfully designed. She made our wedding feel so personalized and special. I wouldn't change one thing about our wedding day, it ran so perfectly, each minute felt thoughtfully planned our guests had so much fun and I owe that all to Nena and her team.

I am so in love with Central Coast Tent and Party and have been meaning to write this but got side…read moretracked - though after reading a very derogatory comment posted here I had to jump on and contribute my experience. I have been coordinating events for several years now and was happy to find that this Paso Robles Company moved to my neck of the woods in Atascadero. I was working with a mom who was planning a Quinceanera and they transformed a basic looking Banquet Room into a magical place with a dance floor with draping and several different light features, projected and sparkling etc... The delivery was by the owner himself who has done red carpet events and Beverly Hills White Parties. And I was impressed! The whole last event was orchestrated by Rhianna from the beginning to the end. I had to call about a delivery issue and even though I interrupted her DAY OFF, she made a few phone calls and I was called right away by the owner. My client was very happy as well. She also dealt only with Rhianna from start to finish. Every single time I needed to talk to anyone there, Rhianna either answered or called me right back. And this event that I am referring to, actually happened during their move from their Paso Robles location to their new Atascadero location. I guarantee, if I am not happy with a business I will definitely YELP them! And if I am happy, I will eventually sit down and write a rather lengthy YELP to thank them for a job well done. Thank you Rhianna! YOU my dear are the greatest! And I look forward to doing many more events with you and Central Coast Tent & Party!

After searching several rental companies, Central Coast Tent & Party had the best pricing for our…read moreevent. Considering that most rental companies use the same third party for linens, we figured we'd end up getting the same things anyway. Not to mention, their cocktail tables were much nicer than anywhere else. We soon found out what you get for the additional money: customer service. We had to go back-and-forth with Michelle several times on our invoice to correct errors in the items, quantity and price. Then, on the day before the wedding, we discovered they had shorted us 3 cocktail tables and 30 napkins. When we called to get it corrected, we were told they could only give us 2 tables and were given the option of selecting from 3 alternate colors for the napkins. Rather than having 90 napkins of one color and 30 of another, I asked that they deliver 60 white napkins, so we could alternate them with the other color on the tables. I was told that Michelle had already left to deliver the other colors. I explained that this was not my problem and that they needed to fix it. When we arrived on the morning of the wedding, I discovered that we received the other colors and had not received the white napkins as I had requested. I was told that they would be "happy" to refund the difference for the napkins. That's not much solace when you're staring down a wedding in four hours. Our caterer ended up providing us with the white napkins, and I'm still waiting for my refund...

I hired Jamie as my day-of planner a month ago for my wedding at Santa Margarita Ranch and she was…read moreabsolutely incredible! She was so organized and on top of everything that I didn't have to worry about a single thing that entire weekend... and trust me, I'm a total control freak so that's easier said than done! Another thing that I really appreciated about Jamie was that even though I only hired her for the day-of, she was totally accessible for the entire year leading up to the event. We're not from the area so we really relied on her for vendor recommendations and such. I would HIGHLY recommend Jamie and her team to anyone!

We hired CJN for the entire planning and up to day-of festivities and they rocked! From helping us pick out and hire several individual vendors, to taking care of our champagne at the reception (storing it, chilling it, and serving it (!)), they never let us stress! Things went so smoothly that I am completely convinced that there is no way we could have done it without them! At the end, we almost felt like we had UNDER-paid them, since they went above and beyond what we had expected. We live in the Bay Area and had our wedding on the Central Coast, so you can imagine the stress we would have had without CJN. EVERY minor detail, from each timeline detail, to the type of food we wanted for our rehearsal dinner, was handled by CJN. They never took over to the point that we didn't have a say, they just made sure that every single thing was handpicked by us, and they ran with it. The rehearsal, the planning, the ceremony, and the reception was so seamless that we were utterly elated at the end. And, this may sound silly, but Jamie was so quick to reply, and so detailed in her questions and tasks, that we will miss not working with her any longer and being in constant contact. Maybe we will have a big anniversary party in a few years, just so we can hire her again!

A year ago we met the owners of Zest it Up to experience a tasting of their foods and discuss our…read moreplans for my daughters wedding in San Lois Obispo scheduled for September 2015. The tasting was so much more than we anticipated as they served us two complete meals and explained specific ingredients and foods that they use. The food was beyond our expectations. We decided on their chicken dish, tri tip, and lasagna. The side dishes we're green salad, green beans, and quinoa. The quality of service, food, and the recipes used were beyond any restaurant in the area. So many of our guests remarked on how much they enjoyed everything from the salad to the little cupcakes and everything in between. Their serving staff was very professional and catered to every guests special needs and requests. They made sure that all the appetizers were served well before the ceremony along with the bar being stocked and opened as guests arrived. My family and I would like to thank them for making Kelsey and Andy's wedding a very memorable experience and we would have NO hesitation to refer them to anyone for any size event or celebration. Your whole team was flawless and awesome.
