Eventful Wedding Planning

Colleen Stefanek

OWNER + LEAD PLANNER + DESIGNER

I’m Colleen Stefanek! 2023 brings us to our 13th wedding season in San Luis Obispo, California. We have planned over 120 weddings as of 2020! I graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a BS in Recreation, Parks, and Tourism Administration, with an emphasis in Event Planning and Management. The wedding industry has been my home since I was 18 years old.

 

My favorite part of your wedding day is when we leave feeling like part of your family. Parting is such sweet sorrow after the end of our planning journey. Ask me about the time I planned a wedding in 3 days.

 

Random tid-bits about me:

 

-Dodger fan (but I'm married to a Giants fan!)

-Packers fan (Aaron Rodgers is the GOAT, but let's not talk about his 2022 season so far.)

-Obsessed with my dogs; Polly the yellow lab, and Koloa the mastador

-I love to laugh and make others laugh

-My husband and I eloped to Kauai for our wedding

-I "stalked" my husband on Facebook 12 years ago.

-I have a very sweet baby boy named Jack. He joined us in late 2021.

CANDACE HESS

LEAD COORDINATOR


Hi, my name is Candace and I am thrilled to be joining the Eventful Wedding Planning family! I started my event planning journey on a corporate level, coordinating and managing a multi-day sales summits for a small tech company, as well as more small scale intimate events for friends and families in planning baby and bridal showers out of my home, over the last 4 years. However, my heart belongs to weddings.

 

Weddings are one of the most beautiful and emotional events anyone can experience. I'm always so moved to see a bride beaming with joy as she prepares to meet her groom. Parents, beaming with pride as they watch their daughter walk towards her future, and their son start a family of his own. And of course, the groom, rosy cheeked and fighting back tears as his gaze meets his brides as she floats down the aisle. (are you crying yet? because I am) I'm blessed to be a part of every moment leading up to the "I do" and even after, celebrating anniversaries and new bundles of joy. Many brides dream about their big day when they are a little girl, and it's my pleasure to make that dream a reality.
