But what we loved the most was April's kindness, generosity, flexibility, and patience in the process of setting up the details for the proposal. She went above and beyond and went early to investigate the area in order to find our son the ideal spot to "pop the question". We are so appreciative of her and her amazing work!

Not a problem, Justina had a backup plan that turned out to be better than the location that I had chosen! Admittedly, my son was not thrilled to have his picture taken, but Justina not only got some great photos of him but the backgrounds and poses were great! She is very reasonably priced and she is now our "go-to" photographer. In my opinion, she went above and beyond what I had expected.

She went beyond and even helped design our wedding logo which we ended up using on all our wedding décor! She was so quick to get back to me with all my questions and requests making sure I was a happy bride throughout the wedding planning and on my wedding day. We wanted the black and white "Kardashian" photo booth look for our wedding. Yvonne was able to get us exactly the look we envisioned, working with me on best choices for the backdrop, props, prints, and a BEAUTIFUL guestbook. All my guests said how cute and put together our photo booth was and how sweet the ladies were. 805 Booth did such a great job to get all our guests to take photos AND sign the guest book. Our guest book is now a coffee table book and all our guests love looking through out it to live through the beautiful memories. I would HIGHLY recommend 805 Booth if you want to work with professionals who will work with you to get you exactly what you want for your special day. THANKS LADIES! :)

In the strongest possible terms, we recommend looking elsewhere for your wedding planning and…read morecoordination needs in the Paso Robles area. We lost our deposit to Sarah, she delivered no work product, and ultimately ghosted us. Please continue reading for the details if you haven't already crossed her off your list. Our relationship started in early January 2022 and she was the first vendor we hired. Our venue required hiring a coordinator and provided a few recommendations. We thought that experience with the venue and relationships with local vendors would serve us well, so we hired her. First signs of trouble occurred in February. Upon us hiring her, we communicated a date that we'd travel to Paso Robles from our home in the Bay Area for late Feb, providing 6+ weeks lead time for her. It's an expensive trip for us plus we have full lives with work and family obligations, so we wanted to lock in the key vendors on this trip that required in person meetings. We reiterated the importance of this trip multiple times to Sarah. We held weekly conversations as well as emailed and texted with her, so we thought this was under control. About a week out prior to our travel weekend, we started asking about a schedule because there was none. These requests got more urgent as the week proceeded. The MORNING we were driving to Paso Robles, we asked her for details of our first vendor meeting and that's when we finally got a schedule. Needless to say the trip didn't go well. We wasted time with vendors that weren't priority and some were so misaligned with our needs which a quick conversation could have avoided those meetings. But we did walk away from the trip with a couple of leads to move to contract. In March, we started trying to follow up with Sarah on the vendors we liked as we wanted to secure them and avoid the risk of losing our date to other couples. Sarah claimed it was under control but we were never presented with contracts or asked for deposits. Our biggest follow up with was catering given the one Sarah presented to us was a complete mismatch. We undertook the search ourselves and ultimately found a caterer that fit our needs and budget. As we got into late March and then April, we started to hear less and less from Sarah. She would fire off weird updates to assure us she was hard at work but generally wouldn't return our texts or calls in the timely fashion as in the early part of the relationship. We still had no vendors secured and we started to get nervous and knew we needed to plan another trip. We decided to follow up with the handful of vendors we had contact info for just to see if there was a hold up somewhere. They all universally responded that they were either waiting on Sarah for a go ahead or that they didn't have our date secured. That's when we ended the relationship and took the planning upon ourselves. Even in the final 48 hours, she didn't reply to our urgent requests or even the fact we told her she was fired. To this day, we haven't heard from her. To say that she overpromised and under delivered is an understatement, steer far clear with your wedding planning needs.

I am so in love with Central Coast Tent and Party and have been meaning to write this but got side…read moretracked - though after reading a very derogatory comment posted here I had to jump on and contribute my experience. I have been coordinating events for several years now and was happy to find that this Paso Robles Company moved to my neck of the woods in Atascadero. I was working with a mom who was planning a Quinceanera and they transformed a basic looking Banquet Room into a magical place with a dance floor with draping and several different light features, projected and sparkling etc... The delivery was by the owner himself who has done red carpet events and Beverly Hills White Parties. And I was impressed! The whole last event was orchestrated by Rhianna from the beginning to the end. I had to call about a delivery issue and even though I interrupted her DAY OFF, she made a few phone calls and I was called right away by the owner. My client was very happy as well. She also dealt only with Rhianna from start to finish. Every single time I needed to talk to anyone there, Rhianna either answered or called me right back. And this event that I am referring to, actually happened during their move from their Paso Robles location to their new Atascadero location. I guarantee, if I am not happy with a business I will definitely YELP them! And if I am happy, I will eventually sit down and write a rather lengthy YELP to thank them for a job well done. Thank you Rhianna! YOU my dear are the greatest! And I look forward to doing many more events with you and Central Coast Tent & Party!

After searching several rental companies, Central Coast Tent & Party had the best pricing for our…read moreevent. Considering that most rental companies use the same third party for linens, we figured we'd end up getting the same things anyway. Not to mention, their cocktail tables were much nicer than anywhere else. We soon found out what you get for the additional money: customer service. We had to go back-and-forth with Michelle several times on our invoice to correct errors in the items, quantity and price. Then, on the day before the wedding, we discovered they had shorted us 3 cocktail tables and 30 napkins. When we called to get it corrected, we were told they could only give us 2 tables and were given the option of selecting from 3 alternate colors for the napkins. Rather than having 90 napkins of one color and 30 of another, I asked that they deliver 60 white napkins, so we could alternate them with the other color on the tables. I was told that Michelle had already left to deliver the other colors. I explained that this was not my problem and that they needed to fix it. When we arrived on the morning of the wedding, I discovered that we received the other colors and had not received the white napkins as I had requested. I was told that they would be "happy" to refund the difference for the napkins. That's not much solace when you're staring down a wedding in four hours. Our caterer ended up providing us with the white napkins, and I'm still waiting for my refund...
