The Coastside Couture team really went above and beyond to ensure that we had our dream wedding. They were immensely helpful when it came to negotiation with vendors and keeping us within budget and they also have so many amazing local connections that made the planning process so much easier. I felt like they really understood my husband and I as people as well as our vision for our wedding and we also had so much fun planning with them! They were SO incredible the weekend of the wedding too - I was not stressed at all, everything went according to plan, and everyone at the wedding kept telling me how awesome and helpful our planners were! I really recommend working with Heidi and her team!!!
We had a wonderful experience with Coastside Couture and my daughter's wedding was perfect. We loved working with Heidi and her team. Heidi met with us weekly and each call was productive, useful and fun. Heidi was responsive when we had questions and helped us negotiate with vendors. We wouldn't change a thing!
The idea of planning a wedding in Carmel Valley, CA, while living in Texas seemed like an impossible task until I met Heidi at Coastside Couture. They really took my vision to the next level and the day went on without a problem. Wheter you're in California, Texas or New York City the planning process will go smoothly with Heidi and her team at Coastside Couture.
Heidi and our team planned our August 2022 wedding and did not disappoint! We live in Texas and wanted to get married in CA but weren't sure where. After hours of googling, I found Coastside Couture and was lucky enough to find an equally type A and detail oriented planning team. It is admittedly very hard for me to relinquish control in any instance. I am a perfectionist who knows exactly what I want and often do not trust others (especially someone that I do not know) to do anything for me that I feel I could do on my own. The Coastside Couture team makes that an easy choice. I felt comfortable enough to entrust them with the most important day of my life and could not have made a better choice. Heidi advocated for us when necessary and communicated clearly and often. She is THE standard. Her team is no less friendly, kind or professional than she is. They are indeed, the best in the business and are well respected for a reason. You see this when roaming about town with her and you hear it when talking to other vendors and industry professionals about her. If you are lucky enough to work with the CC team, consider yourself blessed. They think of and prepare for every single detail. Their events are professional and likely more perfect than you can imagine. All of our guests were impressed with Heidi and her team and they only saw the fruit of all of their labor, not the entire 10 month planning process. If you're looking to plan an outdoor wedding, I know that there are other very good planners out there but I can assure you that you will only regret not choosing Coastside Couture.
If you want to have a wedding in the Carmel/Big Sur area, look no further than Heidi and her team at Coastside Couture. We hired them to plan a complex, outdoor, cliffside wedding in Big Sur on a private property, and they not only made our dream wedding come to life, but they worked with us to create something better than we could have ever imagined. Heidi is both visionary and practical, experienced and well-connected, creative and playful, extremely organized and on top of it, generous and fun - in short, she is just SO good at her job and everything you would want in a wedding planner. For our wedding, she did everything perfectly - from coordinating generators being brought in so that we could play music in a field with no power, to working with me on designing the most gorgeous tables and florals. Everyone on her team brings this same energy, professionalism, sense of joy, and total "get it done" attitudes as well. I miss working with Coastside Couture and am so deeply grateful for all they did for us. I also want to note that they navigated the complexities of the pandemic with us with the utmost optimism, creativity, generosity, grace, and kindness. I really cannot imagine going through the experience of a postponed 2020 wedding, which was held a year later, with any other team. These are your people if you want your Carmel or Big Sur dream wedding!!! Cannot recommend these rockstar women highly enough.
These ladies are absolute BOSSES when it comes to wedding planning. We chose them because we liked how direct and honest they were with us about everything from our budget to our vendor choices to the actual day-of execution. Our venue presented some tough logistical challenges and the Coastside ladies handled it with grace and skill.
My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Karissa, Heidi, Liz and the whole Coastside team! They completely took the stress out of planning a wedding from across the country, and were extremely enjoyable to work with throughout the entire planning process! Friends and family are still talking about our big day even months later… and it definitely would not have been possible without Coastside Couture. They helped us pick an AMAZING vendor team, were always responsive, and very low stress. We were in amazing hands with them, and did not have to think about a thing the day of - they had everything handled, and the wedding weekend went off without a hitch! We absolutely loved working with them and would hands down recommend them to anyone looking for an awesome wedding planner in the area.
Gals were great to work with for our event. I highly recommend them. All events went smoothly.
The Coastside Couture team is simply the best! They were so creative yet highly organized. They listened to our wants and needs and transformed our thoughts into reality. We were planning a destination wedding and there were alot of moving parts to come together - Heidi, Karissa, and Elizabeth executed to perfection! The greatest compliment I can give is what my daughter said to me as she was leaving--"we (meaning the entire team) nailed it!" A happy bride says it all!
If you are looking for Central Coast wedding planners - look no further. We were planning a wedding cross country near where I grew up, and wanted a team on the ground locally who knew how to manage the locals, knew the best vendors, and had experience in the area. We loved working with Coastside - They had the best vendor recommendations (I want to grow up to be our florist, Amanda), gave us constant reassurance or support if we ever had questions or issues, and were generally all around fun people. We did the mini - we only needed them the day of the wedding and the planning support, but had family and friends help with things like gift bags. So worth it. They fixed problems for us (like getting us an exemption from the mandatory tent policy at our venue), gave us great ideas (like table linens, because I do not understand table linens) and made our wedding day spectacular by managing all the moving pieces, large families, and even fixing the bustle on my dress during the dance party. This team was everything we had hoped for and more. I miss working with them already!
