The Central Coast is replete with fantastic venues for weddings and elopements. Santa Margarita Ranch is one of those special places; though not on the water, it’s close enough to the coast to be considered “central” to our wedding community. Contact: ...

A wedding on the coast is the best! Bob and Julie had one of the best we’ve been a part of and there are reasons for calling it, “the best.” Wedding at High Noon. A noon beach wedding may be difficult to achieve during some parts of the year. In the Central Coast they’re pretty easy to make happen. Bob and Julie got a perfect morning, light wind and an idyllic setting on the bluffs at Montana de Ora State Park. They were smart, they scouted the spot ahead of time. Wedding Preparation. Beach wedding preparation with Bob and Julie was easy. They knew what they wanted and we got it done. Their enthusiasm and attention to detail made the planning process easy and fun. I wish them both the very best. Featured Photo: Cassie Cano Contact: ...

“…Nor Wind, nor Rain, nor Raising Sea Tide, shall keep me from my appointed wedding rounds.” It’s sometimes hard to imagine the impact outside forces have on wedding ceremonies. Too often couples have had to make numerous adjustments, reschedule, and/or cancel, to accommodate various issues. Thankfully on this day, Michael, his bride to be Nancy, and the wedding guests decided that rain and a rising sea tide would not hinder what would be a wonderful memory on the shoreline of Avila Beach. The rain only made for what was a very unique day of memories and fun. We all had a great time and will never forget the exceptional day it turned out to be. At Olive Tree Officiating we are flexible and will work with all accommodations to satisfy our clients. Contact: ...

Choose An Officiant/Celebrant Wisely The rules for selecting an Officiant are not dramatically different than the rules for selecting any other wedding professional. You’ve already selected a coordinator, a photographer, a caterer, a venue, a bridal party and many other important people that will support you on your wedding day. Now you must choose the person who will stand with you at the most significant moment of your wedding day. Choose successfully with a little more information about how an Officiant thinks.

Their vows were striking. Not only were the words amazing, they were, well…normal! So many brides and grooms stress over the “right” words and forget to share the simple bits of history that have led them to this special spot. Lauren and Kevin decided to write their own vows, something I don’t recommend for everyone, but for the Waddell’s the words came naturally and free flowing. There is one caveat; you may hear something quite unexpected. And while Lauren was surprised, she was also blessed beyond words. All of which makes a wedding ceremony a joyful and meaningful celebration. Totally amazing photo by: Blake Andrews, www.slotography.com Contact: ...
