DJ Erin was truly so amazing! We had our video chat a couple weeks prior to our wedding and he was so thorough, and organized. He really listened to the vibe I was looking for and I did give him that free range to put his own spin on things and he crushed it!! Everyone kept coming up to me talking about how wonderful he was! He really kept the party going and did play all the songs I did request mixed with his own playlist! We loved him and appreciated him during our wedding so much! Definitely would recommend him to others who are looking for events/weddings he is truly wonderful at what he does! The company itself is great and responds very quickly (thank you Nicole), what an amazing team they have! Thank you for making our day so special, it’s something will never forget.

We booked Conner and his live saxophone player for our wedding in July and they were a HIT! Conner has such an awesome portfolio of experience he is truly changing the reputation of what it means to be a wedding DJ. He does so much more. He mixes, he personalized the playlists to your specific liking, he plays absolute BANGERS, not to mention he has an insane lighting setup and is the best MC I've heard! Our guests literally cannot stop talking about it. I recommend him and his additional saxophone player to literally everyone I meet. Conner was one of the best parts of our wedding reception.

Our photographer said our wedding had the most packed dance floor the entire night that she's ever seen... only a killer DJ could do that!

  • Serves Cardiff By The Sea, CA

I've been djing since I was 15 years old. I had a fascination for parties and events at an early age. I tagged along with my brother who dj'd at house parties back in the early 80's. I was hooked after seeing how much joy the music brought out in the crowd. I started buying my own 12" records, and it evolved into doing my own gigs: house parties, jr. high & high school dances, colleges, raves, underground parties, night clubs, weddings, corporate events, and so on. I started my DJ business in 1987, and have been honing my craft now for 3 decades. Thirty plus years later, I continue to love what I do. Now let's get the party started.

DJ Cameron and his team gave us the celebration of our dreams.

He asked us for a list of our favorite songs and filled in the gaps when we needed some inspiration. He's a HIGHLY skilled professional and we were through the roof happy that he pulled together all of our preferences of Motown, country, Latin, and hip hop into a nonstop party where each song the dance floor was packed! The sound quality was excellent and he navigated an outdoor courtyard setting and an indoor banquet hall and the sound was full, balanced and clear in each of the venue spaces. The PhotoBooth and uplights were a fantastic touch, the props were also super fun and we captured moments we’ll cherish forever.

We planned a backyard wedding with about 4 weeks notice to vendors. Joy was quick to respond that she was available and I couldn’t have been more grateful! Her style was just what I was looking for- me, but slightly glammed up. Joy communicated her arrival and was on time! She was so gracious and considerate of the home we had our wedding in, she was lovely with my 7 year old daughter, she asked my thoughts every step of the way (seeing as we didn’t have a trial run), she interacted with my bridesmaids and the hairstylist with so much ease and comfortability! 10/10 would recommend Joy for any special occasion!!

Hi! My name is Madison, but you can call me Maddi. Raised in Maryland, I've lived in Colorado, South Dakota, and Germany. I now live in San Diego with my husband and our two dogs. I've always had a love for photography and I feel privileged to bring my passion to life. I want my photos to capture the genuine feeling of the moment and to reflect you and your story.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are absolutely thrilled with our experience with Madison! From the moment we met, she was incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. She made the whole process feel so natural and enjoyable, which was so important on such a big day. Not only was she professional, but she went above and beyond in ways we didn’t expect. For example, when I was struggling to pin something to my dress, she immediately jumped in to help—something totally outside her job description, but she did it with a smile and made sure everything was perfect. It was those little thoughtful gestures that truly set her apart. And of course, the photos are nothing short of stunning! We absolutely love her style and the way she uses color. She made sure to capture every important moment, and we now have beautiful memories to cherish forever. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for not just a photographer, but someone who genuinely cares about making your day perfect.

I truly recommend Nick and his team! They really did an amazing job from day one, the zoom call, answering questions, sending forms to fill out, etc. The day of my wedding the videographer that was assigned to us did such a good job and was so well educated and thoughtful at all times. I loved that he was from Argentina so I could speak to him in Spanish since I am from Venezuela. I knew the editing work would take some time but it was worth the wait!! Everything Nick and his team delivered to us, the highlight video, teaser video and the film of our wedding was phenomenally done. Our families were very satisfied and impressed with the work. One of the most important pieces of the whole wedding I wanted to have recorded was my 5 minute dance with my husband. We prepared a whole set with 4 different songs that showcased our cultures (Latin and Persian) and wow the editing of our dance was just done to perfection. My husband and I were super happy watching every single second of it and reliving the moment. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart from capturing our most special day, our union in marriage, with such professionalism and aesthetics!!! I will always recommend you :)

Hi! I am Clemence the face behind The Perfect Pair Wedding :) I am born & raised in France, in the city of love Paris. During college I got the chance to do a semester abroad in San Diego, and met this really special, handsome, American guy... You see it coming? YES! After 3 years of long distance relationship, I finally married the love of my life. A little bit about The Perfect Pair Wedding... it is a San Diego based Wedding planning company, we plan & design weddings all over Southern California to bring to life our Perfect Pair's dreams.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do we even begin? Before hiring Clémence, we met over a video call, getting to know each other to make sure we worked well together. We think this is an essential step in choosing any wedding planner, since ideas need to be communicated in both directions. Being on the same page about the vision of your wedding is key. It did not take long at all for us to know that she was the absolute best choice for us. Clémence is incredibly friendly and holds herself to such a high standard, and that shows in the work she does. She has an entire process for planning that includes timelines of when things are to be done, vendors are to be booked, and more. Everything is laid out clearly, and she checks in regularly to make sure things are on track. These timelines start from several months before the wedding and go all the way down to the day itself. She makes it known that she wants your day to be exactly how you want it and works hard to achieve that. Whenever we had a new idea or a modification to an existing one, she was always open to hearing it and working to make it happen. We went with an Italian garden-style theme for our wedding, and Clémence executed that vision perfectly. We somehow seemed to be on the same wavelength about everything. Not only did she follow through on executing our ideas, but she also incorporated her own input that fit into the wedding and expanded on it perfectly. As first-time bride and groom, we struggled with knowing how to budget properly. Clémence helped us spend in places where it made the most sense for us and save on things we didn't need. Bit of a random anecdote, but we wanted to have pizza at the end of our afterparty. Our initial search was going to have us spending hundreds of dollars to have standard pizzas delivered to our venue. Clémence saved the day when she found an even closer shop that made heart-shaped pizzas for a fraction of the cost. As Clémence has been doing this for a while now, she's gained rapport with several vendors and was able to speak to the quality of their work and service. This took so much pressure off of us, since we didn't merely have to trust the sales pitch of whatever vendors we happened to find on our own. Once we had our vendors locked in, Clémence took care of managing timelines for each, such as when to meet with them, choosing items for the wedding, and payment schedules. Not only does she work her hardest when she's by your side, she also has your back when you don't even notice. Nearly a month after the wedding, we found out that our venue's staff was incredibly rude and unhelpful to our vendors. This forced everyone to work at 110% to compensate for the lack of assistance. However, the way Clémence handled this was with such grace and professionalism that we didn't notice, nor did any of our guests, that things weren't running smoothly. Her integrity is truly inspiring. As cheesy as it may sound, we've gained a genuine lifelong friend in Clémence. The influence and quality of her work extend far beyond wedding planning. If it wasn't clear already, we cannot recommend Clémence enough. Her work speaks for itself and was by far the best investment we made for our wedding.

We were so lucky to find PKA Photo and Video to capture the memories of our wedding day! We had an intimate wedding on Coronado Beach with just our family members, and we absolutely love the highlight video Mia made for us! What made it even more special was how she was able to incorporate the personal song we wrote and sang with each other. Hearing the groom's guitar strumming and our own voices singing the duet in the background was so meaningful. Listening to our vows, (which were clearly recorded - by the way), and seeing the beautiful video clips of our family on the beach is a cherished gift. We are so blessed to have this video to replay when we look back on this most precious day of our lives. It makes us so emotional thinking about what happened to us with our previous videographer, and how they came to our rescue by agreeing to be our videographer at the last minute. We are truly grateful. Mia and LaRon are an amazing team, and we highly recommend their photography services!

Such an amazing experience working with Wedgewood weddings. I love that they have many different venue options to fit every couple's price point and that it is an all inclusive option. The only things not included were the dress/tux (obviously) and any photography or videography. We however ended up spending a bit more on flowers as we didn't realize that the bouquet and flowers for the bridal party were not included (only table centerpieces) but compared to other florists in the area, their vendor still had the best prices. The process of the planning was pretty seamless. Whenever I had a question or needed help, I was able to reach out to the venue and get the answers or help needed. The day of my wedding was absolutely perfect. Not a single thing went wrong and I couldn't be more grateful for my two wedding coordinators that day (the evening coordinator had a different title but can't remember what it was) but they were both so helpful, kind and attentive. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding day and/or experience!

When we were first planning our wedding, the idea of having a videographer was the last thing on our minds. We already had a photographer, and the idea of having another camera recording us felt like nerve-wracking and an unnecessary expense. With a little more than a month before the wedding, however, we began to realize that we wanted our vows to be captured in a way that photographs alone could not. After just one day of looking for potential videographers and being put off by lack of quality, nickle-and-diming, pushy sales tactics, and overwhelm about the amount of money it would cost to have a film of our ceremony, we found Michael Cerundolo at Focused Bliss Productions. From our very first contact with Michael, we were blown away by his passion for his work, his commitment to quality, and his willingness to give us everything we wanted and nothing we didn’t. Michael made time to get us booked at the best price we had seen and assured us that he would provide us with quality beyond what we had been able to find. And he delivered. Michael was with us every step of the way, going over details for the wedding and assuring us of his ability to handle the unexpected. On the day of the wedding, Michael was warm, friendly, and put us at ease. When the audio set-up at our venue failed to capture our voices as clearly as we had hoped, Michael assured us he would be able to adjust and correct this in post-production. With weddings, little things always go wrong — nothing is ever “perfect.” There is inherent awkwardness, snags, and unexpected variables. However, when Michael delivered our ceremony film just a week after our wedding, our jaws dropped as we realized he had captured all of the beauty of the ceremony and had smoothed out all of the snags. What we were presented with was a priceless memory the way we would want to remember it. Our voices were clear, the music was soft, and our love was captured in a moving picture. Michael, we cannot thank you enough for giving us such a priceless memory to treasure, just the way we had hoped to remember it. And for the person reading this review, if you are on the fence about whether or not videography is worth the expense in a tight wedding budget, know that your wedding day will go by so fast and that Focused Bliss Productions will provide you with a living memory to treasure for the rest of your lives, just the way you want to remember your wedding day.

My husband and I want to thank Stephany and her assistant Annie for all the attention given to us on our magical day. Our favorite part of working with Stephany was that she is extremely friendly and funny. Which honestly made us feel comfortable from the day we met, to every meeting that we had before the wedding day. We would recommend Stephany and Annie to family and friends. They are professional, friendly, and most important patient. Not once did we sense they felt overwhelmed or stressed about anything. Which definitely gave us peace of mind knowing everything was under control by them both. We are also thankful that Stephany and Annie went above and beyond for our magical day. We only hired a photographer, but without us asking Stephany and Annie ensured to capture many special moments during the event. Such as us walking down the aisle, dancing with our moms, and getting funky on the dance floor.

Hi! My name is Ayleen and I have been a makeup artist for 5 years. In my few years of experience I have been able to learn a lot from working in photoshoots, along with other artists and at countless weddings. From my first bridal makeup I’ve done on a close friend, I knew that’s what I wanted to do as my job. It took a few years to build my career and I am so glad I chased after my dream of becoming a bridal makeup artist. My favorite part of what I do is being able to be a part of such a special day in your life and there’s nothing that makes me happier than making girls feel their best.

If you’re looking for a makeup artist for your wedding (or any event) seriously look no further than Ayleen!! She was truly incredible to work with for my wedding - beyond patient (I did two trials and still changed my mind about some stuff on the wedding day and she was so understanding), extremely kind and lovely to be around (like I genuinely enjoyed hanging out at the trials and on the big day!) and THE MOST TALENTED. I am really picky about my makeup and finding an artist was what I was worried about most. I usually don’t like my face after someone else does my makeup, but Ayleen seriously blew my mind. The final look was exactly what I had hoped for and more, and she also gave the same attention to my bridesmaids and MIL. They also got lots of compliments on their makeup that day, and everyone still to this day will remark how much they loved their looks from Ayleen. I’m not joking, I wish I had some other big event coming up so I could have her do my makeup again. Obsessed is an understatement. Do yourself a favor and book her immediately!!

I could not be more thrilled to recommend Kate at Timeless Ties! As someone who was on the fence between a traditional wedding and eloping, Timeless Ties helped me envision and craft an immensely beautiful and special wedding. It encapsulated every bit of love and the joy of sharing the beginning of a lifetime together with our dearest friends. Leading up to the wedding, Kate was intentional about connecting with my fiance and I multiple times to help us plan through all relevant details for preparation. She walked me through her comprehensive wedding planning documents and to develop a wedding timeline. The planning documents included details regarding important contacts, space to assign wedding tasks, and so much more. She connected with wedding vendors, and was especially helpful in connecting with and working with the wedding venue. Timeless Ties even referred us to our dream photographer! On the day of the wedding rehearsal, Kate came for several hours. She helped map out all of the important placement and transitional elements, directed the rehearsal, worked with our DJ, and helped with so many other details. I was unaware of many things that came up in the last minute because Kate handled them all graciously and independently, giving me space to truly be present with family and friends at our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, and on our wedding the following day. On the wedding day, Kate and her assistant coordinator arrived earlier than I did. Kate is the kind of person who leads by example and hard work; she spent hours setting up chairs, tables, placements, and arranging DIY decor. She worked well with our vendors and was the main point of contact for them the entire day. Kate was the maestro for our timeline and kept everything running according to schedule. During cocktail hour, she and a small team that she led completely changed the main grassy area from a ceremony set up to dinner set up. I wouldn't have changed a thing! If there were any snags in the day, I never knew about them as Kate handled everything. Kate is not only deeply competent, organized, and professional, but an absolute joy to work with. She cared deeply about the vision and priorities my fiance and I had in our wedding, really listened to understand what mattered to us, and spent the time to talk through any potential logistic conflicts to help us have a true understanding of the situation and all of the options available to us. Kate remained a calming presence throughout the wedding day, even as she managed so many details, which truly helped me stay present and able to soak in the day as well. Kate is kind, so positive, and connected with my family and friends. My wedding was one of the most special, incredible days of my life, thanks in no small part to Timeless Ties, and I had a blast spending time with her throughout the process as well!
