About this vendor

I’m Alyssa, owner and lead planner behind Salt and Pine Events, a name inspired by the two places that feel most like home to me as split my time between the tall pines of Big Bear Lake and the salty air of Oceanside!

With six years of experience planning weddings throughout Southern California and in stunning destination locations, I’m passionate about designing celebrations that feel authentic, joyful, and perfectly curated to reflect who you are as a couple. Whether it’s an intimate mountaintop ceremony, an extravagant coastal wedding, or anywhere in between, my goal is always to bring your vision to life with intention, creativity, and organization.

As a mom of a 6 year old boy and a wife of 11 years, I’ve learned the art of balancing grace, structure, and heart - qualities that guide me through every wedding I plan. I truly love connecting with couples, understanding their story, and transforming it into a celebration they’ll cherish for a lifetime.

When I’m not sending emails or at an event, you’ll usually find me snowboarding, traveling, or soaking up time with my family. These passions keep me inspired and help me bring fresh, meaningful ideas to every wedding experience.

From your first idea to your final dance, Salt and Pine Events is here to make your wedding journey seamless, memorable, and truly yours.

Amazing Day of Coordinator!

Alyssa was an absolute lifesaver on our wedding day! From the moment she arrived, she took complete control of every moving part. Coordinating vendors, managing the timeline, and keeping everything running seamlessly behind the scenes. We never had to worry about a thing.

Alyssa anticipated needs before we even realized them, kept everyone on schedule without ever feeling rushed, and made the entire day flow perfectly.

Our wedding wouldn’t have been nearly as smooth or stress free without her. If you’re looking for someone who’s organized, thoughtful, and truly dedicated to making your day perfect, Alyssa is the one you want by your side.

A bright spot on a rainy day

I originally had booked a different planner for my wedding but ended up working with Alyssa when my planner told me she was pregnant..and due 2 days before my wedding. This announcement wasn’t made until 2 months before my wedding so the pressure and stress was on. Alyssa wasn’t even brought in til 2 weeks before my wedding. Despite the last minute fumbling of the original planner Alyssa handled the situation AMAZINGLY!! She was very responsive when we were wrapping up the little details and even managed to put up with my lil attitude I’d acquired from the frustrating situation haha. The day of she was on top of everything and I didn’t have a single thing to worry about. From grabbing people for pictures, keeping us on track with the timeline, carrying my train on my veil for the ceremony, making sure we didn’t forget our cake after the wedding, setting up all of our decor and helping us pack it up/load it into the car, and even doing my hair for me when I wanted to put it up. This planner is worth every penny because you truly can’t put a price on peace of mind and having a less stressful planning experience.

Salt & Pine 10/10!

Alyssa and her team at Salt & Pine were truly a godsend during my wedding season. I got married in July 2025 and had the privilege of working with them for over a year. From the very beginning, I felt confident in choosing S&P. Their pricing was fair, they respected my budget, and I never once felt pressured to overspend or add things I didn’t want.

Alyssa, the owner, brought incredible vendor recommendations and kept me on track with detailed checklists and timelines. As a first-time bride, there were so many things I didn’t even know I needed to do. Alyssa caught them all and guided me every step of the way. Their advice even saved me money and time, like when they helped me streamline my wedding invitations.

My wedding was bilingual and included both a live band and DJ with dancers, which could have been overwhelming, but S&P created a seamless timeline that kept everything flowing perfectly. They were always quick to respond to my texts and calls, and I never once worried about being left in the dark. They also handled all the behind-the-scenes details, like collecting vendor insurance and reminding me of small but important things such as printing my vows.

I am forever grateful I chose Salt & Pine. I trusted them with one of the most important days of my life, and they went above and beyond to make it unforgettable. If you’re looking for a coordinator who is professional, responsive, budget-conscious, and truly invested in your day, I couldn’t recommend them more.

Day of Coordinator

Alyssa was the biggest help for my wedding!! She went above and beyond to cover every small detail for me and fixed issues before I even knew about them. All of the vendors worked more seamlessly together because she communicated with them and kept us on schedule. I felt so much more peace on my day knowing she was coordinating the timeline and decor. I would quickly recommend her to my friends if they need an event coordinator!

Saved my wedding

I hired Alyssa as a day of wedding coordinator, and I got so much more! She was available for just about any question I had, from place cards and table seating arrangements to food ideas, she was responsive and open!

But, I really valued her when I had to change my wedding venue in THREE days due to mudslides. She was absolutely integral in finding and procuring a new venue, and really did much more than our contract detailed - such as contacting venues for me and getting rates, figuring out what I would or wouldn't need at the new venue, among other things. She really didn't have to, but she totally did. She is the kinda gal you need in an emergency!

Day of, she helped set up and even smoothed over a few minor dramas (like not having champagne for the toast!). I highly recommend her work, especially if you are getting married in big bear!

Alyssa is the best!

I am the mother of the bride and Alyssa was amazing from our first point of contact. I gave her our budget and she worked very well to stay within that. She was quick with replying to emails or texts.
Alyssa handled the florals too and boy was everything stunning! The day of the wedding I could not have asked for a better coordinator to keep everything going smoothly. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better in helping my daughter’s vision come to life!

Alyssa was the best

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Alyssa Colvin as our coordinator for our 2024 wedding, and we can't recommend her enough! From start to finish, Alyssa was an absolute dream to work with—she brought so much professionalism, creativity, and calm to the entire process, and we are forever grateful. Upon our first meeting I told Alyssa I had not yet found a florist, and she let me know she does florals as well. I was thrilled with her floral proposal and going with her was so much more affordable and easier, one less vendor to worry about! I had a hard time deciding what I wanted for the florals and she spent a lot of time going back and forth with me to create something I loved. My bouquet was seriously INSANE and so many people told me it was the best bouquet they had ever seen, and frankly, I agree!! I would recommend Alyssa for all her services for so many reasons.

Simply wonderful Day of the Wedding Coordinator

My son’s wedding took place 09/26/24 at Europa Villages Resort , Vienza. I planned and hired all the vendors locally as the couple lives in upstate New York. Alyssa was my day of the Wedding Coordinator highly recommended by the venue and she was a lifesaver. She was delightful to speak with and extremely supportive and knowledgeable of the process. Alyssa was always available to answer all my questions and provide me with options to make the day as smooth as possible for the bride and groom and myself. Even though she was not feeling well at rehearsal and wedding day she gave it all her best and completed all her tasks with a smile on her face and made sure timelines stayed on target as much as possible. Alyssa’s guidance, professionalism and support were integral to a successful wedding and my ability to relax and enjoy this special family event fully. Highly recommend Alyssa as she is an outstanding asset in taking away the stress that comes with planning a wedding big or small. Very grateful to have found Alyssa and be able to relinquish all my control in decision making the day of the wedding.

Amazing Job!

So glad we decided to hire Alyssa for our day of coordinator! While I had most of the plans squared away I wanted someone that I knew I could trust to take over the little details and bring the day together so I could relax and enjoy my day. That is exactly what I ended up having! Alyssa made every effort to make sure that things went perfectly and kept all of the stress off of me, while still being attentive to every detail that was important to me. Hire her, you won’t regret it!

If you're looking for a wedding coordinator, look no further!

Alyssa is the best! We hired her as a day-of-coordinator and she was extremely communicative, supportive and had great advice in the months leading up to our big day. Our wedding day went SO smoothly and that's thanks to Alyssa! There were so many little details that she handled behind the scenes when we were getting ready and throughout the day. I had a few DIY items and some decor that she helped set up and everything looked perfect! Our family and friends all let us know how helpful she was with their questions on the wedding day as well. Overall very thankful we had Alyssa as our coordinator. Can't recommend her enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
