Amanda Holder Events San Luis Obispo Event Planner.
“Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.” - Rumi Hi! I’m Amanda Holder, owner and lead designer of Amanda Holder Events.

Prior to starting my wedding and event planning business seven years ago, I spent almost 15 years as a corporate event planner for organizations such as the PGA TOUR, IMG Worldwide, NBC television, CBS television and REC Solar. The first wedding I ever planned was for NBC on live television at five o’clock in the morning. And, I’ve been hooked ever since. Now entering our 9th year of business, wit

h more than 100 weddings under our belt, our team has grown to 12, with each person taking on a variety of roles in the business. We absolutely LOVE what we do! And it would be our pleasure to serve you! Background: In 2014, three of my industry friends and I founded The Wedding Space in San Luis Obispo, CA, a collaborative workspace for wedding professionals. In 2016, five fellow wedding planners and I founded SLO Wedding Planners, a cooperative networking group, designed to help raise the standard of service in the industry. We are members of Central Coast Wedding Professionals, The Wedding Standard, and are active in various other industry organizations. In 2018, we were honored with the award for Best Wedding Planner in San Luis Obispo County by the folks at California Wedding Day, and were nominated again in 2019 and 2020. Reach out and contact Amanda for a FREE consultation today!
