About Marigold
A small team that plans 25 weddings a year
Marigold is Elena Vargas and two lead planners. We know the venues, the caterers and the fog patterns of the Central Coast, and we keep our calendar small on purpose.
Step 1
Free consultation
A 45-minute video call about your date, your guest count and what matters most.
Step 2
Your plan
A budget, a vendor shortlist and a planning checklist we share and update together.
Step 3
The day
We run the rehearsal, the timeline and every vendor, so you can just be there.
Do you travel?
Yes. Travel within 50 miles of San Luis Obispo is included in every package.
How far ahead should we book?
Most couples book 9 to 14 months out. Fall Saturdays go first.
Can we book only day-of?
Yes. Day-of coordination starts 8 weeks before the wedding.
Do you work with any budget?
Our couples usually spend $35,000 to $120,000 in total.
