Hi Brides & Grooms,
My name is Emily Plascencia & I am the Sales & Events Manager for the beautiful Hyatt Carmel Highlands Inn. I will make sure you are stressfree on your special wedding day! A little bit about myself: I was born and raised in Monterey, CA . When I am not running around setting up weddings, I am running around my 3 year old toddler & 7 month old baby girl. I am passionate about events and attention to detail. One of my biggest joys about my job is watching the bride walk down the ailse and when the Groom looks at his soon to be wife. Its the little things..
xoxo
