From the very beginning, Angee and her team were absolutely outstanding--their energy, passion, and love for what they do shined through in every detail. Angee curated a tour of five completely unique restaurants and bars, each offering its own special flavor, atmosphere, and story. The food was incredible, the service top-notch, and the opportunity to hear the backgrounds of the owners and chefs made the evening even more memorable. Whether you're planning a corporate retreat, a weekend getaway with friends, or simply looking for a fun night out, A Taste of SLO is an experience we would highly recommend. It's the perfect blend of great food, great company, and great memories.

We still 2 months later hear people saying how incredible the food was. They were incredibly professional, reasonably price and just so wonderful to work with.

You helped make our wedding absolutely perfect and we hope to get to work with you again some day!!! :) - Hilary and Earl

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.

The Octagon Barn of San Luis Obispo is a historical and cultural structure. Built in 1906, it…read moreserved as a dairy operation until the 1950s. In 1997, the Land Conservatory of San Luis Obispo County began to restore the barn for public use. As of this review, the restoration of the barn is almost complete. The barn (approximately 5000 sq. ft.) is made of redwood timbers and has a new, custom shingled replacement redwood roof. There is a cupola on top reaching over 40 feet above the floor. Cupolas are often used to provide a look out or to admit light and air into a structure. There are two additional buildings on the property. The barn is important for 4 reasons: history & culture, architecture, recreation & education, and in December 2013, the barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This iconic landmark on South Higuera is one of only two octagonal barns left in California. The octagon barn will be a community gathering place to promote history, agriculture, recreation, and sustainability. It will host fundraisers, performances, and private events such as weddings.

LOVE me some Snap Cubby! Hands down the best accessory to any wedding or special event…read more I had Eric and the Snap Cubby at my wedding back in 2009... I always wanted a photo booth at my wedding but back then they were just starting to get popular. So on the Central Coast there was all of ONE option and it was WAAAY overpriced - until Eric walked into my life! The cubby itself is rad. Quick nice quality prints, big enough for a ton of people but small enough to be intimate, and the costume/prop box is full of surprises. Eric is awesome - he's fun, attentive and easy going. My favorite part was the guest book - people are still talking about how fun it was to personalize their entry, and the hubs and I just looked through it the other day around our anniversary. The Snap Cubby is a great value for the investment and adds SO MUCH FUN to your wedding or event!!

As a bride you want everything to be perfect and I just can't thank Snap enough for the fun props, beautiful photos and easy breezy attitude. Thank you thank you thank you.

Can't really give her a 1, because we were not able to use her…read more We know nothing about her, so we contacted her to ask about her service, as well as placed to have the ceremony, etc. She emailed us back with "Let me know exactly what you want and I will give you a quote!" Well, we are not from the area and don't know "exactly what we want" so we gave her an idea, along with the fact that we really are not sure yet. Her reply, again very short and almost rude, was "I do not to any consulting. I can do your service for $295." She added that "I have done over 1000 weddings." Well, with responses like that, she wasn't going to have 1001 be ours. We needed a little bit of assistance in where is good, etc. We got more assistance from a receptionist at a hotel than we did from Andrea - and we were wanting to hire Andrea to do our wedding. Alternatively, we contacted Sandy White, an officiant new to the area. She drove from Los Osos to Pismo to meet with us, gave us advice on the area, and her rate is one third of what Andrea charges. We are not married yet, so we will review her after the ceremony. But definitely don't need "services" like Andrea is providing.

We were walking our dog past this location (golf course and tent on the beach) and thought the…read morePismo Beach Golf Course would be a perfect place for our wedding! However, many of our out-of-town friends weren't up for a destination wedding on a Monday, so when we realized we didn't have enough people to fill the tent (we expected 50-75 guests), Colleen was still able to help us. She put us in touch with the Pismo State Beach people and we ended up having our reception on a sand dune next to the golf course. We actually took a bunch of wedding photos on the golf course itself, and then Colleen helped us re-locate our wedding across the parking lot on the outdoor patio at Fin's restaurant. It was really lovely and nothing we would have ever figured out how to do on our own. Colleen coordinated our chair set up for the ceremony on the sand dune and was an awesome, completely dependable and calm on-site coordinator for our reception. I had a ton of questions before our big day, and Colleen was always so patient and friendly and helpful.
