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!

If I could give more stars to Jamie and Chris, I definitely would!!…read more I cannot say enough good things about their services. 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!

She always showed up with a smile on her face and a positive attitude (even when I was getting to be bridezilla). She accommodated every request and offered suggestions to make the wedding run as smoothly and beautifully as possible. We had some issues with our venue (that's another story) and weren't able to set everything up the night before the wedding. There was so much left undone, and I had a plan for it all. I gave Michele a super quick run through of about 20 things I needed to be done the day of the wedding. I didn't know how she was going to get it all done or remember it all, but she did. I didn't do a thing the day of the wedding, Michele and her girls took care of it all -- and it looked amazing! She got every detail right, paid attention to every request I gave her. She respected my ideas and my vision and honored that to give me my perfect day. She was kind and professional and truly was happy for both of us on the day of our wedding. You can tell Michele does this because she loves it. She is genuine and generally a lovely person to be around. Honestly, my wedding would not have been what it was without Michele. I am so happy we used Planimation Events to plan our wedding. I highly recommend Michele and her team. Thank you Michele!!

From the Bride: When we booked our venue, the event manager advised us that we didn't really need…read moreto hire an outside coordinator; apparently very few couples getting married at the Madonna Inn enlist additional help. Because we live out of the area and wanted to enjoy our wedding day as thoroughly as possible, we decided to go ahead and find some extra help who would make sure everything ran smoothly. I interviewed half a dozen highly-qualified planners/coordinators in the SLO area before finding Planimation Events to help us with month-of and day-of services. My initial impressions of Michele were that she was kind, competent, and well-organized; but it turns out her qualifications don't end there! Before the wedding Michele worked with each of our vendors to make sure everyone was well-coordinated and everything was as we planned it. From making sure flags in the reception room were removed before dinner (long story) to perfectly placing each last bit of decor, Michele and her team knew exactly what it took to make sure everything ran smoothly. On the day of the wedding we didn't see Michele much because she and her assistant were actively running the "show behind the show"; everything ran on time and according to plan - if there were any snafus, we had no idea because Michele took care of it. With Planimation's help we were able to relax (well, as much as one can on their wedding day!) and enjoy all our friends and family knowing that Michele had taken care of everything we threw at her along the way. Now here's the part where I get sappy and maybe even a little teary-eyed. Michele and her team provided exactly what we hired Planimation to do flawlessly; make sure all details were taken care of so we could be as present as possible on our wedding day. But the services Michele provided that weren't written in any contract or advertised on her website lie in the deep care and concern she showed for us (the bride and groom) as nervous humans trying to manage our emotions, our relatives, our wedding party, on the day of the biggest party we'll probably ever throw. She and her assistant kept us calm and laughing throughout the day; and not in a superficial way. I truly believe that Michele cares deeply about the people she works with and for; something rare in an industry dedicated to creating "picture perfect" days. With Michele's help our day not only LOOKED picture perfect but FELT picture perfect. Thank you, Planimation, for providing us peace of mind, kindness, and friendship. You have our deepest gratitude for your soulful support and buoyantly positive attitude. We love you! From the Groom: I was very reluctant to spend money on a wedding coordinator when both my wife and I are capable and well-organized. Michele turned out to be a wise investment, leaving wedding-ruining chores and stress to her and her staff, allowing us to enjoy our wedding. Michele was exactly what we needed. Planimation was easy to work with and professional, with what I'm told are good rates. This staff has my deep appreciation.

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...

Monica was a phenomenal wedding coordinator! I had initially planned to do everything myself and…read morejust have someone execute my vision on the wedding day. However, a few weeks into planning, I realized having an individual with knowledge of all the vendors, and ensuring no other details were missed was critical. I was living on the east coast and planning a wedding celebration on the west coast, so I needed someone else expertise and personal experiences. I chose Monica because: (1) she was very responsive to emails, (2) was so warm, friendly and personable and (3) was willing to work with my budget. She had worked with every vendor I had chosen (except the ice cream truck). She reviewed every contract before I signed. She save us a lot of money on decor and flowers by using her personal inventory and skills. She caught errors in my list and counts for my rentals. She revised my venue layout multiple times and shared in my OCD nature of documentation in google docs. She met with me several times before the wedding day and met up with me in person a month before the wedding when we went to see the venue. The week before the wedding, she contacted all the vendors and I was able to spend time with family. The day of the rehearsal dinner she showed up 4.5 hours early to ensure all the setup was completed for the night and for part of the next day. It went without a hitch and she took care of the decor, and communications with catering. The day of the wedding, she arrived earlier than us to set up! She did my flowers, and did an amazing job. My bouquet was lovely and huge! While my family and I got our hair and makeup done, she set up/decorated the welcome tables, beverage stations, reception tables, escort tables and cocktail tables. She was an organized and calm presence, coordinating with photography, ensuring we were on schedule and guiding us for the ceremony. At the reception, she helped DJ mark with seamless transitions in the itinerary and some small modifications. At the end of the night, she waited for the last person to leave the venue and went above and beyond to help us ensure everyone's safety. Overall, Monica is the best coordinator I couldn't have had the perfect day without her. She made the entire planning process fun and smooth. I felt relaxed and confident through the 4 month planning process! I highly recommend her!
