About Sara Elizabeth Events

Sara Elizabeth Events

Wedding Planner

I am a lifetime Central Coast resident, born and raised in Templeton. I have spent most of my career in the hospitality industry. It wasn't until I started a job in catering management that I realized I had a passion for weddings. I continued doing catering management for 2 years, and then I started assisting all of my favorite wedding planners for 2 years. Most recently I landed job in Venue management and that is when I knew I wanted my own wedding planning business. In my free time I love to go hiking, lift weights and spend time with my family, including our 4 rescue pups. I look forward to meeting you!

I do not have a "that's not my job" mentality and nor will I work with people who have that. The wedding day is all about teamwork and making everything happen together. Also, I love to help every step of the way no matter what I am hired for.

In three words: Collaborative, Efficient, Supportive

Sara is the BEST! As a wedding photographer myself, I work with a lot of coordinators and vendors, and Sara is truly one of my favorites. She is incredibly personable, so easy to work with, and always quick to respond to any questions. She's organized, attentive, and absolutely on top of her game from start to finish. So seriously, stop your search and hire her. You can thank me later! Your wedding is in the best hands with Sara! -Burlap & Oak Wedding Photography

If you’re looking for an amazing wedding coordinator, look no further and contact Sara immediately! We planned our entire Madonna Inn wedding from Germany, and Sara made every step effortless and enjoyable. She was organized, responsive, and truly dedicated to bringing our vision to life. From our very first call, she felt like someone we could trust, and by the end of the wedding, she genuinely felt like family. Our day ran flawlessly, and so many guests praised how incredible she was. Her pricing is fair, her communication is excellent, and she balances professionalism with a warm, personal touch. Five out of five stars!! Don’t hesitate and reach out to Sara and you’ll be so glad you did!
Sara is the BEST!

From our very first interaction with Sara, it was clear that we were in great hands. She and her team were both professional and personable, with an exceptional attention to detail that truly brought our wedding vision to life. They seamlessly handled all the personal decor items we provided and collaborated beautifully with our other vendors to ensure everything came together flawlessly. Sara is truly the best, and I would work with her again in a heartbeat. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made, our wedding day would not have run nearly as smoothly without her expert coordination. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
SHE’S THE BEST

Sara Elizabeth Events was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, her communication style was insightful, clear, empathetic, consistent, and reliable - she truly listened to our needs and vision. The quality of her work was fantastic, with great attention to detail and consistent, high-quality service throughout the planning process. Sara dealt with some family drama for us, which was a huge relief, and she even brought props so we didn't have to buy them. She communicated with us daily to ensure everything was on track. Sara is amazing as both a coordinator and a person, and we're so glad we got to know her. She provided incredible value and we're thrilled with the work she did to make our special day perfect.
