A Big Sur local for 13 years, Jamie is a mother of 3 and now lives in Monterey.
"Jamie was everything I was looking for in a wedding planner, coordinator, caterer, cake-maker, rental company, stylist, and -- at times -- bridal therapist. :)
Every time I told friends that I had one person who was doing all of the above, their jaw would drop.
I found Jamie through the house we wanted to have our wedding in Big Sur, but her website and aesthetic really spoke to the feeling I wanted our wedding to have and I'm SO GLAD I went with her. We were not disappointed."

"Chef Paul's food was spectacular, and our guests are still raving about it!! Every dish was delicious, from the lamb pops and crab cakes to the fried artichokes and the black cod, squash, and steak main courses. Everything was so so good, and my husband and I wish Chef Paul had a restaurant so we could go eat his food again and again."
