- Karla CoteFounder & Chief Dream MakerMy passion for hospitality began at home, shaped by family values rooted in kindness, intuition, and care for others That foundation has guided me through more than 25 years in hospitality, venue management, and wedding planning across California and Mexico. I’m driven by creativity, connection and finding joy in building meaningful experiences and spaces where people feel truly celebrated. Becoming a mother to triplets transformed my perspective, deepening my appreciation for presence, intention, and the moments that matter most. Hospitality is more than my profession, it’s who I am. Weddings hold a special place in my heart because they represent love, community, and lifelong memories. I believe deeply in giving back, mentoring others, and creating opportunities rooted in authenticity and care. If you value creativity, intention, and heartfelt connection, then we’re already aligned.

With a background in design and years of hospitality, I bring both creativity and structure to each celebration. When not planning or at a wedding, I'm spending time with my husband and our two cats
- Cathy HolshofWedding Sales ManagerHi, I'm Cathy, And I'm the initial point of contact at Beloved Weddings. From the very first conversation, I have the joy of working closely with each bride and groom, listening to their story, understanding their vision, and helping bring their dream wedding to life. After spending meaningful time at home with my two wonderful children, I chose to return to work in an industry that truly brings me joy. With many years of experience in the wedding industry, beginning on the design side and naturally evolving into planning, I’ve developed a deep understanding of both the creative and logistical elements that make a wedding unforgettable.

From the moment we toured Sierra Mar to the final send-off on our wedding night, this team absolutely blew us away. Booking both the venue and coordination group together was hand...
s-down the best decision we made for our wedding.
The venue itself is stunning! Our guests couldn’t stop talking about it, and we barely needed extra décor because the setting already felt magical.
But what truly sets this place apart is the coordination team. They are organized, calm, professional, and somehow always three steps ahead of everything. Planning felt fun instead of stressful because they handled the details, timelines, vendor coordination with total confidence. On the wedding day, we didn’t worry about a single thing.
The communication was clear, the support was constant, and the care they showed for our vision made us feel like our wedding genuinely mattered to them.
If you’re considering Sierra Mar and Beloved Weddings, stop looking. This is the dream combo, we’ll be forever grateful for how flawlessly they brought our wedding day to life.
