  We love Sandcastle!

  Janet and her team is SO amazing!! Cannot say enough great things. Everything was incredibly organized, and I had great confidence in all tasks being completed. Wish I could plan another event with them honestly!

  Flawless experience

  Janet is the secret sauce to a successful wedding! She was with us every step of the way as my daughter and I worked to plan a Labor Day wedding. Janet is a very clear and responsive communicator. She offered an excellent vendor list and a thorough timeline. We had regularly scheduled phone calls and a couple of on-site meetings at the venue over the course of the year of planning. Janet is so good at ring-leading the day-of, that it was easy to trust her and her team completely with the set up of all the vendors at the venue. Just before the start of the ceremony, we walked out to the most magical, fairytale-like setting with everyone and every single detail in place. I don't know how she does it, but she does! Want a stress-free wedding - HIRE SANDCASTLE CELEBRATIONS! Thank you, Janet!

  Truly the best!

  I truly cannot speak highly enough about Janet Tacy and Sandcastle Celebrations. She was awesome to work with throughout the planning process, but most importantly, with her help and oversight, our wedding day could not have run more smoothly. Janet handled vendor communication and coordinated when each vendor would arrive to ensure timely set up and preparation. If there were any bumps in the road or issues, I was not made aware and was not stressed whatsoever about the logistics of the day which was such a blessing. At the same time, she made sure to check details with me (style of napkin fold or floral repurposing) and make sure everything looked as I hoped. Janet and her team even made sure my table number markers (that I printed on flimsy paper the day before the wedding) were able to stand up at each table despite the wind (still don't even know how they accomplished this!). She did all of this so that I could be completely present with my family and friends, preparing for one of the biggest days of my life. I could go on, but in short, I would recommend Janet and Sandcastle Celebrations 100x over.

  Janet is the literal best

  Janet is an absolute dream. She has so much experience in the wedding industry and has wonderful relationships with the vendors in the area that it made our wedding and the planning seamless. She keeps you organized leading up to the day and is available for you whenever you need a question answered. She was a rockstar in helping keep family and guests on time and in line. We would hire Janet a million times over, we felt so lucky to have her help execute our wedding and make it seamless.

  Want a perfect wedding? Janet is your person

  Janet literally made our dreams come true. As a bride, I was always trying to stay as organized as possible, and being anxious about making sure everything going perfect was a daily thing! Janet will make you forget about all of your worries, especially on the most special day of your life. My husband and I are so grateful that we had Janet to support us all the way. She and her team are the literal sweetest, most understanding and just so fun. We love you, Janet!

  Out of state client

  I loved having a wedding planner especially with being an out of state client. Janet made it easy to find vendors and her website was helpful. Our wedding vendor team was all great!

  Janet and Sandcastle Crew are the best!

  Janet and Team really helped us getting organized with the wedding. After booking our venue we were honestly a little lost on where to start but Janet broke down the steps in a digestible form to get us kicked off. We had about 7 months to plan the wedding and it went as smoothly as it can get. We had weekly/bi-weekly calls the 2 months before the wedding to make sure we had everything we need so we weren't stressed the week of the wedding. I would highly recommend Sandcastle Celebrations to any of our friends and family! They are so amazing to work with!

  The best coordinator on the Central Coast

  I cannot say enough good things about Janet and her team. She worked with us to help coordinate our wedding for about 18 months, in that time she was incredibly helpful getting us through some bumps we had along the way with our venue. She was there for countless calls, video chats, and in person visits as our wedding was out of state for us. She also had the most incredible recommendations for other vendors that we are incredibly grateful to have had make our day so amazing. She made our wedding day so smooth and seamless, I am so happy we picked her and her team for our wedding.

  Janet and team are amazing!

  As a type A bride who wanted to do a lot of the decision making and details myself, I was very picky on who to choose for a wedding coordinator. You have a lot of options in this area, but I can say without a doubt that I got lucky enough to have the very best. Janet of Sandcastle Celebrations is top notch. She has so much experience and expertise. She seriously thinks of every detail and has a demeanor that keeps you calm through the whole process. She was so easy to communicate with and got back to me right away with any random and simple questions i had. The day of, she handled EVERYTHING. I was very nervous about being stressed the day of my wedding and I can say that all I felt was excitement and at ease because she was on top of everything and knew exactly how I wanted it done. I have had so many people tell me after the wedding how incredible she was and how she handled any minor issue in seconds. I have even had people ask me for her contact for their future weddings. I would recommend Janet and Sandcastle Celebrations to literally everyone!! You will not go wrong, she is the best in the business!

  Fantastic Coordinator!

  We were lucky to get Janet as our coordinator for our 225+ person meeting wedding in San Luis Obispo. Janet was very supportive throughout the process and provided all the guidance we needed to organize our big event with positive attitude. Our wedding logistics were a bit complicated and it went off without a hitch due to Janet and her team. We really appreciate the service and couldn’t have imagined going through the process with someone else!

  Janet is phenomenal!

  Janet is an angel on earth! She made our planning experience super easy and enjoyable. If you're on the fence about hiring a planner, I promise you it is 100% worth it! Not only was Janet exception throughout the entire year-ish of planning, but she and her team treated us like absolute royalty on the day of the wedding. I promise you I didn't have to worry about a single thing because I knew Janet had it covered. Everything went absolutely perfect and Janet's team is largely responsible for that! 100/10 recommend!!

  Knowledgeable and organized

  Janet and Madi were amazing to work with! Janet's services were included in our contract with our venue and we were so lucky to have her! Janet is very knowledgeable of the wedding industry on the Central Coast, from suggesting various vendors to providing general wedding tips and tricks. Janet invited Madi onto our planning team about 2 - 3 months before our wedding day and together they asked all the questions necessary to iron out the details before our big day. They brought up so many things I hadn't even thought about and wouldn't have planned for without their guidance. I was so grateful for their insight, recommendations, and availability to talk over the phone or meet in person when needed.
  
  On the day of, everything went very smoothly to my knowledge - which is what you want when you are the bride! Madi coordinated every minute of our day and I was not troubled with any small details so I was able to soak in our wedding day. Madi and her team set up all of my décor, placed each name tag for our guests, coordinated vendor arrival times, and packed up all of my belongings at the end of the night.
  
  My biggest takeaway would be that Janet and Madi are very organized, personable, and have wedding planning down to a science! Their experience in the industry makes them some of the best people to work with and I would recommend them to anyone.

  Janet is an absolute dream wedding planner & partner!

  Janet and her team made our wedding dreams come true in the most beautiful and seamless ways! As most brides do, I had a pretty big and specific vision and she was my partner for over a year leading up to our big day to make it all happen. She was collaborative, insightful, well versed in all of our options in the Central Coast (and had incredible relationships with everyone), and extremely kind and positive throughout the chaos & stress I was carrying as a bride! I am so grateful to have had her by my side throughout the year of planning and especially on the day of -- I didn't worry about a single thing that day except for marrying my guy and enjoying every moment with our friends and family, which was possible due to the calm composure and attention to detail that Janet has- I knew we were in the best hands and I didn't have to worry about anything not going exactly to plan.
  
  In addition, we ended up having a very unexpected and unusual heat wave (not common at all in the SLO area) and not only did Janet make sure everyone was comfortable and hydrated (more so than we had planned for without having to stress or ask!) but when a few of our elderly guests had felt ill, her team stayed by their side to make sure they were OK, and without missing a beat for anything else happening throughout a jam-packed day. I truly can't imagine having a better wedding day or partner in the planning process and recommend Janet and her incredible team at Sandcastle Celebrations to any and all Central Coast brides to be!

  Amazing! The absolute best!

  I'm not an expert in wedding coordination and I never needed to be. Janet had everything handled and on our big day, ensured we had a perfect day!
  
  When we asked for a German beer garden style wedding Janet said, “I’ll make it happen!.” We could not have done it without her. She made our vision come to life!
  
  Janet was an absolute joy the day of, continually reminding us that we were the most important people and helping us resolve small things that came up out of our control.
  10/10 service!

  Janet was an absolute joy the day of, continually reminding us that we were the most important people and helping us resolve small things that came up out of our control.
  10/10 service!

  Look no further!

  We worked with Janet with Sandcastle Celebrations for our wedding this year and I cannot say enough good things about her team. She helped us find our venue, assemble our entire team of vendors, handled all details, and was really helpful with design details. She worked with our budget and went over and above to ensure we were prepared for our big day. She brought our vision to life perfectly and we definitely could not have done it without her. Not only is Janet and her team extremely professional, detail oriented, and talented, but Janet is truly a wonderful person. She has such a positive and warm energy, and we always looked forward to our phone calls and in person meetings with her. When the wedding weekend ended we were so sad we wouldn't get to see each other regularly anymore! During the wedding and thereafter, we had multiple guests tell us how awesome she was and how this was one of the most thoughtful weddings they had ever attended. I could go on and on, but I'll end with this. Look no further, this team is the dream team and will ensure that everything goes perfectly on your wedding day.

  Janet and her team are fantastic!

  Planning a wedding is daunting and there are so many details to consider and choices to make. Janet's expertise is obvious and she is a wonderful guide, we couldn't recommend her more. We were planning our wedding from a distance and she was happy to hop on Zoom with us, answered all our questions, and always made us feel calm. Her professionalism and positivity made the months, weeks, days leading up to our wedding less stressful and then the day of the event we were free to enjoy ourselves. It was truly spectacular and we couldn't have done it without her!
  
  She's also great at last-minute emergencies or changes of plans. For example, we decided at the last minute that we wanted to do a version of a wine ceremony (but with tinto de verano) and she immediately helped us with that.

  Absolutely excellent

  Janet and her team know every vendor on the central coast, and will give you fantastic recommendations. They will review every detail of your wedding planning so thoroughly to make sure nothing is missed. And above all else, they will do it with incredibly positive attitudes and smiles on their faces. They are such a joy to work with.

  Most important wedding vendor!

  Never under estimate the power of an amazing coordinator. Janet and her team were everything to me leading up to and on the big day. Every conversation I had with Janet was inspiring and reassuring. She has a way of putting you at ease and understanding your ideas while you try to make sense of it all as well. A few days out from the wedding I knew she understood my vision and on the day of I had no worries that everything would come together. Literally on the day of the wedding I directed everything to her and her team. I was well taken care of! I had someone to hold my bouquet during pictures, hold my hand while I waited to walk down the aisle, someone was always around to make sure I had what I needed, and make sure we were on time and we had a team to clean up after the party. Also a huge shout out to Maddie who helped with the rehearsal and was the one taking care of me (keeping me sane) while Janet made sure everything else ran smoothly. Also little reminder! Make sure to get pictures with your vendors!! I didn’t and I regret it!

  AH (clap) Maz (clap) ing (clap)

  Janet Tacey! I don’t know how you came to be a wedding planner, but this path of life was meant for you! Janet and her team were amazing! We got married at Villa Loriana and we live in San Francisco. I would not have been able to plan this wedding without her! Every time we spoke on the phone she was so enthusiastic and I could feel her smiling through the phone. Every conversation left me feeling productive. I always knew what was needed of me to help her through her process. The vision I had for our wedding was simple and fairly minimal, but Janet and her team put all the little touches in there to make is beautiful and memorable. For all the stress that I never felt the whole time I was planning the wedding with her makes her worth every single penny! She always responded to emails within a couple days. She always let me know if she was going to be unresponsive because of another wedding or being out of town. She communicated with all my vendors and let me know what communication I needed to have with the vendors. I can plan a small dinner party of 6 people and that’s difficult LOL Janet KNOWS how to plan a wedding of 200 people and make it run on time! Our day was absolutely PERFECT! Janet! I love you!

  Hire Janet ASAP!

  I don't even know where to begin - you need Janet on your team! Janet and her team were my lifeline throughout my wedding planning process. She helped me navigate TWO postponements due to COVID and seriously kept me sane. She has impeccable taste, is so easy to communicate with, incredibly kind and has great connections with all of the vendors in the SLO area - making planning from a distance (based in LA) so easy. Since we moved our wedding a few times, Janet ended up being booked on our new/final date and had Jessica be our lead for day of. Jessica was seriously PERFECT day of. She kept me calm during some crazy wind before our ceremony started, kept the day moving perfectly on time, made sure our LARGE and loud bridal party/family knew where they needed to be and seriously made everything feel and look so perfect. People always say that small stuff will go wrong day of and not to sweat it -- truly nothing went wrong that I knew about. If there were hiccups, Jess did a great job of handling them without me knowing or having to stress about anything that day. Its been two months since our wedding and I miss my chats with Janet & Jessica -- Cannot recommend them enough!
