Not only did she seamlessly keep everyone in check and on schedule, but she rolled with the punches and found solutions on the fly. It was an absolute pleasure to meet her and work with her. Thank you so much Jessie!!

Jessie is the best of the best, inside and out! Our story with Jessie is unique-- we met her in the…read moremiddle of our wedding planning process, when she stepped in last minute to help us amidst tragic circumstances. We cannot thank her enough for adopting us and taking us "over the finish line" to make our wedding a reality. From the instant we had our first call, we immediately felt at ease that Jessie knew what she was doing. She had this infectious optimism, lightheartedness, and go-getter mentality that made us feel so confident and excited about wedding planning (two words I don't normally associate with planning a wedding, LOL). She is super well-connected in the Central Coast area and knew basically all our vendors personally. She was super communicative and always available over text to handle any little fires. She interfaced with all our vendors, including our after-party venue, and negotiated with them to save us $$! I kept wondering if I needed to be calling a vendor or following up with anything, but Jessie took care of everything! Whenever anyone asks how the wedding went, I can truly say it was a perfect day and nothing went awry. The truth is, I'm sure something didn't go the way it was supposed to, but that just means Jessie and her team handled it before I even knew it happened. Jessie, you are truly a godsend and I am so, so thankful for your presence in our lives during this season!! We love you!! -Sarah and Bryan

We didn't know where to start, we had a venue and a vision, we live out of the area, we needed help! Janet gave us recommendations of vendors, they worked together seamlessly. I didn't even know you could rent pretty chairs to replace the banquet chairs, what a difference that made. We couldn't fit our guests in the room we wanted, Janet suggested we use our cocktail room for the dance floor, dj, etc. Our contact never let us know that was an option. This suggestion was epic! The reception was so amazing, the cocktail room was like a club, so great, there was a filled dance floor all night while in the reception room, others could sit and chat. Janet pointed us in the right direction in so many ways before and during the wedding. Can I just say it was the most beautiful vision of what we had wanted, it was absolutely perfect, our guests are still raving and most importantly, my daughter said it was the wedding of her dreams. Eternally grateful! THANK YOU!

During our big day, there were multiple changes due to an electrical problem at our venue. Lisa not only drove to multiple locations to save my family and friends from having too, but also provided me with video updates throughout the day to ensure I was a happy bride!

The energy never dropped, and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had. Not only is he an amazing DJ who knows how to read the room, but he's also a fantastic MC - everything flowed seamlessly and felt effortless.

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!

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.

From the moment we met with her until the I Do's and beyond, everything went so smoothly I forgot this is supposed to be a stressful event to put together. Heather and her team assisted us with every aspect of the wedding. She spent time to get to know the couple and learn what they wanted for their wedding. Then she was able to make ideal venue selections and helped us select all the vendors, including catering, flowers, décor and more. Her taste is impeccable but she guides the bride and groom to help them make the decision that suits their vision of their special day, and fits within the budget they've created. Everything that the bride and groom intended for their wedding to look like came true, thanks to Heather Hansen Events.

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!

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.
