Planning a wedding from out of town in Paso Robles could've been overwhelming, but she made the entire process feel manageable. She was always quick to respond to our texts, happy to jump on calls, and incredibly patient with our questions. Her strong relationships with local vendors were so helpful and she handled little things that could've easily sent us over the edge. The biggest testament to Amanda's professionalism and calm-under-pressure attitude came during our actual wedding weekend. PG&E had to shut off the power at our venue the day before and the day of our wedding due to the strong winds and fire safety protocols. It could've been a total disaster but Amanda stepped in and worked hand in hand with our band and the venue coordinator to problem-solve on the fly. She kept everything moving and made sure our day still felt special, despite the chaos behind the scenes. If you're planning a wedding in Paso, we can't recommend Amanda enough. She's organized, thoughtful, resourceful, and genuinely invested in making your day as perfect as possible.

In the strongest possible terms, we recommend looking elsewhere for your wedding planning and…read morecoordination needs in the Paso Robles area. We lost our deposit to Sarah, she delivered no work product, and ultimately ghosted us. Please continue reading for the details if you haven't already crossed her off your list. Our relationship started in early January 2022 and she was the first vendor we hired. Our venue required hiring a coordinator and provided a few recommendations. We thought that experience with the venue and relationships with local vendors would serve us well, so we hired her. First signs of trouble occurred in February. Upon us hiring her, we communicated a date that we'd travel to Paso Robles from our home in the Bay Area for late Feb, providing 6+ weeks lead time for her. It's an expensive trip for us plus we have full lives with work and family obligations, so we wanted to lock in the key vendors on this trip that required in person meetings. We reiterated the importance of this trip multiple times to Sarah. We held weekly conversations as well as emailed and texted with her, so we thought this was under control. About a week out prior to our travel weekend, we started asking about a schedule because there was none. These requests got more urgent as the week proceeded. The MORNING we were driving to Paso Robles, we asked her for details of our first vendor meeting and that's when we finally got a schedule. Needless to say the trip didn't go well. We wasted time with vendors that weren't priority and some were so misaligned with our needs which a quick conversation could have avoided those meetings. But we did walk away from the trip with a couple of leads to move to contract. In March, we started trying to follow up with Sarah on the vendors we liked as we wanted to secure them and avoid the risk of losing our date to other couples. Sarah claimed it was under control but we were never presented with contracts or asked for deposits. Our biggest follow up with was catering given the one Sarah presented to us was a complete mismatch. We undertook the search ourselves and ultimately found a caterer that fit our needs and budget. As we got into late March and then April, we started to hear less and less from Sarah. She would fire off weird updates to assure us she was hard at work but generally wouldn't return our texts or calls in the timely fashion as in the early part of the relationship. We still had no vendors secured and we started to get nervous and knew we needed to plan another trip. We decided to follow up with the handful of vendors we had contact info for just to see if there was a hold up somewhere. They all universally responded that they were either waiting on Sarah for a go ahead or that they didn't have our date secured. That's when we ended the relationship and took the planning upon ourselves. Even in the final 48 hours, she didn't reply to our urgent requests or even the fact we told her she was fired. To this day, we haven't heard from her. To say that she overpromised and under delivered is an understatement, steer far clear with your wedding planning needs.

Not only was she our Day of Coordinator, she was the captain that kept the ENTIRE wedding ship afloat during an EMERGENCY POWER OUTAGE caused by a FIRE! She knew exactly how to ensure everyone's safety and comfort in a pitch black venue. From our first call, Kristiana's compassion and organization were evident. I knew when she talked about having a bathroom and emergency kit, having a toy prepared for any upset child, and having a full blown software to help design the wedding layouts - that she was the best. Her excitement and encouragement made planning stress-free, and she consistently reassured me that we would find solutions to any challenges AND bring any vision to life. On the wedding day, Kristiana excelled and was the best person to have by my side. She managed the vendors, kept the timeline on track, and was always there when I needed her. Whether it was safety pinning the entire inner layer of my wedding gown to prevent tripping, finishing petal toss cups last minute because the caterers forgot to do it, or comforting me before the ceremony because everyone else was too excited, she was a hero. AND THEN THERE WAS THE POWER OUTAGE! A nearby fire shut down all the power in the entire area - and the venue was completely dark. I was so afraid the wedding was over an hour early after all the money and time invested into the big day. Kristiana made sure everyone was safe, communicated effectively, and kept things moving. She even moved my card box to a safe location just because there were no more lights. She truly thought of every detail. Not only that, a week and a half after the wedding, she has been proactively seeking a partial refund from my venue for me because they did not have any back up lighting for an emergency situation that put all of the guests (especially elderly) at risk. And when I found out catering did not bring GF food for my GF guests, she took it upon herself to call them to get compensation for such a costly mistake. THINGS THAT SHE DID NOT HAVE TO DO AT ALL! All this to say, Kristiana is truly an ANGEL! She is the most caring and compassionate soul and without her, I truly don't know what would have happened during the wedding. The wedding was a fairytale and I truly believe the majority of that credit goes to her. Her proactive and caring nature left a lasting impression on everyone. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much Kristiana for EVERYTHING!

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!

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!
