Kali & John

July, 2011

Kali and John got married on a beautiful summer day on the Central Coast!  Their wedding looks like a rockin' good time full of bright colors and happy people!  Seriously, how gorgeous is that tent?! We're so glad they turned to the CCWP for their vendors! Enjoy!

Flowers to You By Jessica I cannot say enough about Jessica and her company.  She brings you into her home for the consult where she runs everything and not to mention a wedding venue of her own (which was SO breath taking) Jessica and her services made our dream wedding come true.  She is energetic, warm, creative and so talented.  I was a low key bride and she helped me make a lot of great decisions when I did not know where to start.  The flowers and the candy bar were all anyone could talk about after.  She is worth every penny and more.

The Cliffs Resort The Cliffs Resort was the perfect venue for my husband and me.  Anna and her department do a fantastic job making sure every detail is perfectly planned and executed.  The tent turned out perfectly and Anna went above and beyond to meet our every need.  I remember seeing her the day of the wedding in the morning and at the end of the night (1am) she was checking on us to make sure we had everything we needed.  Incredible!

Kramer Entertainment Kramer did a great job and kept our guests having a great time while planning out our timeline and making it all happen the way we pictured.  The lighting really made a difference in our tent I would recommend it.

Bridal Makeup and Hair All of my girls looked AMAZING.  The airbrush was flawless and did not wear off.  I also liked that she was able to give each girl long lasting lips so everything looked beautiful and fresh throughout the night.  It was great to have the convenience of having Rhonda and her associate come to us.

The Cakery The cake was beautiful and delicious.  They worked with Jessica and were able to add the flowers for a unique and bright touch.

A Blake PhotographyWhen I was choosing my photographer I let them know that the most important part of the wedding for me is being able to re live it through pictures.  Ashley and Kayla lived up to my every expectation.  My pictures are breath taking.  The girls were fun and made us feel comfortable being ourselves while capturing every important detail.  Also Incredible!

Happily Ever After!

Julie & Scott tied the knot this summer among vineyards and loved ones! Also around them? A handful of CCWP's best and brightest wedding vendors! Jenn from Allure Event Designs helped the couple build a roster of professional all-stars for their wedding. Tasty grub was provided by the talented folks at Pacific Harvest Catering, which was served upon the beautiful rentalware from All About Tabletops! Jesse from Kramer Entertainment kept them on the dancefloor all night long, while Ashley from A.Blake Photography documented the whole day flawlessly....as usual!

Hear what Julie had to say about her awesome Central Coast Wedding Professionals.....

Allure Event Designs:
"Jenn is superb at what she does. She's a great listener, extremely attentive to detail, efficient, organized, and well-connected to local vendors. She takes every request seriously and makes it come to life. When she first asked me what I envisioned for my wedding, I didn't have much of an idea... I'm pretty sure I said something like "uhh.. a really nice wedding?" which she turned into a beautiful, memorable, and basically perfect day/evening for us.
The day of the wedding could not have gone any smoother and I had absolutely zero stress the whole day. (In fact, I had minimal stress throughout the entire planning process because of Jenn!) I'm sure there were a million behind-the-scenes details to worry about, and Jenn handled everything so beautifully. After chatting with her about our wedding for oh, the past 8-10 months, I had complete trust in her ability to help make our day magical. Which she did

It was so convenient to have her as our florist as well, since she already knew us and had an idea of what we wanted. But, honestly, her work with flowers is beyond just convenient, because she is super talented in this area as well. When I first saw the bridal and bridesmaid bouquets I (along my BMs) was blown away by how gorgeous they were, and how she nailed my vision spot-on. I received lots of comments about how beautiful the centerpieces and bouquets were.
Jenn, thank you so much for everything! You and your crew did an amazing job and we couldn't be happier with how our wedding went. "

Pacific Harvest Catering:
"It was important for us to find caterers who prepared seasonal and local food at our wedding and we found it in Pacific Harvest. They were so accommodating to our food and drink requests and the dishes they prepared were ones you would expect at a fine dining restaurant. Our guests are *still* talking about the appetizers at cocktail hour, especially the korean tacos we had asked them to make! Everything during dinner was equally delicious as well, and there were many compliments about the dessert bar. Their waitstaff was extremely attentive and professional as well.

One thing that stood out was that Paul personally brought out a beautiful wooden platter of appetizers for my husband and me after the ceremony. They wanted to make sure we got to enjoy them, since we were taking pictures during cocktail hour. How awesome is that? And trust me, all of the appetizers were beyond delicious.

Dawn was absolutely wonderful to work with, and I can't emphasize how flexible and accommodating she was when helping to plan our menu, while keeping in mind what would be freshest during the season.

I'm sure this gets said a lot, but I have to say that Pacific Harvest did an AMAZING job and we would highly recommend them for any event! "

Kramer Entertainment:
"We are so happy with Kramer Entertainment! Jesse was our DJ and accommodated every request we had, especially to incorporate ska, reggae, and bossa nova into our wedding. Our meeting with him was great - he's super nice and knowledgeable about all types of music. We got comments all night from our guests who loved the music that was played during cocktail hour and dinner - probably because it wasn't traditional wedding-y music! During the reception, he played just the right tunes to get the crowd dancing.

We also had Kramer string up lights in the barrel room which I absolutely loved. I even think the lighting specialist put up something to subtly illuminate the high ceilings, even though I didn't pay for that! Melissa at Kramer was also a dream to work with - so friendly, professional and fast to respond.

All in all, I don't know why anybody wouldn't go with Kramer. Everything at our wedding (and apparently at least 50+, just look at all these reviews!) went off without a hitch, and they did an amazing job."

All About Tabletops:
"All About Tabletops was wonderful to work with - they had a great selection of rentals (our favorite being the mason jars!) and their prices are totally reasonable. They were recommended by our wedding planner and caterer and we can definitely see why! Thanks Kathy!"

A.Blake Photography:
"Ashley is awesome! I'm actually really surprised there aren't more reviews here, because you pretty much love her when you first meet her. She's warm, funny, easy-going, has a bubbly personality, and most of all makes you feel comfortable right away - which I feel is the most important thing when looking for a photographer to document such an intimate and special day. After Jenn (of Allure Event Designs) introduced her to us, my now-husband and I pretty much looked at each other after the interview and said "yup, she's the one!"

When we did our engagement shoot, we were a bit reluctant since we're kind of camera-shy. She made it easy for us to laugh and (almost) pretend someone wasn't taking pictures of us the whole time. At the wedding, she captured absolutely gorgeous shots as well as some hilarious candids. We (and our guests) were blown away by how beautiful some of the images came out. She has such a great eye for romantic and vivid images, and really knows how to play with different lighting. The sunset pictures she took of us are stunning!

In addition, she is also very efficient and professional. Whenever I contacted her she usually responded within 24 hours. She had proofs ready for us about 2 weeks after our wedding, when I was expecting 4-6 weeks. She is great for impatient brides and grooms

We are sooo impressed by Ashley's work. So impressed that we are considering flying her to our state, or flying over to her, when we have our firstborn... just to have her take more pictures of us!

Thanks Ashley! You are seriously talented and an amazing photographer! "
