BEHIND THE LENS

Hi there, I’m Hillary martinez

I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m the founder of The Coastal Reverie, where every experience is designed to be felt and savored.

I believe life’s most meaningful moments deserve intention and a sense of ease. Through thoughtful planning and elevated styling, I create immersive environments that allow you to be fully present, while every detail is seamlessly taken care of.

Before founding The Coastal Reverie, I spent a decade in the wedding industry, from helping brides find the gown of their dreams to guiding couples as they selected the perfect engagement rings. Those years taught me how meaningful the smallest details can be, and how deeply personal every celebration is. Each proposal and event I plan holds a special place in my heart, and I pour my full attention and care into every step of the process.

My hope is that when you experience a Coastal Reverie event, you feel seen and celebrated. I can’t wait to share my love of styling and to create an experience for you that’s worthy of a reverie.

READY TO BEGIN?

If Meaning Matters, Let’s Talk

We might be a good fit if you value the details, connection, and trust the process. Whether you’re in the early stages of planning or ready to move forward, I’d love to hear about what you’re creating and see if we align.
