My husband and I got married this past August and I’ve been meaning to write this review for a while but we had a big move and time got away from us. As a wedding vendor myself I know how important it is to have a DJ that can balance fun and professionalism, but Joey Chang did just that. He was punctual, detail oriented, and our guest couldn’t stop talking about how good he was, both as a musician and as a DJ. I really appreciated the time and effort he took to insure that no details were missed. We booked a lighting package as well and our ceremony space looked even better than I could have imagined. Joey made sure the ceremony audio was perfect. Everyone could hear the whole ceremony which was really important to us. And when he played cello for our processional and recessional, the sound really filled the space and sounded beautiful. During our cocktail hour he played cello and did some beatboxing, we were so impressed and our guests loved it as well, they were talking about how good he was and how they could hardly believe it was live music. After dinner the dance floor was full the whole night. Even months later we still have people telling us how much fun they had dancing, how great our playlist was, and how much they liked our DJ. If you want your wedding to be classy, romantic, a total rager, and go off without a hitch, I would highly recommend hiring Cello Joe!

After serving the Bay Area for years, I've moved to Lincoln and looking forward to serving our new community. A little about me: Always lived in the country raising cattle and horses. Grew up learning from mother about all things florals. Worked in vet med for years while also doing wedding flowers with my mother. Now that my husband and I have moved to Lincoln I decided to start my floral business full time.

Heather was a dream vendor to work with. She helped make this vision come to life- from planning, strategizing my budget, introducing me to different ideas and creating pieces that I was able to use during my ceremony and repurpose for my reception. She was so understanding, flexible, easy to work with and gave me the most grace when I was undecided on something. She is patient and kind and I couldn’t recommend anyone else on such a stressful/important day- she goes above and beyond. Her communication is excellent and her attention to detail is immaculate. Our flowers were beautiful and high quality. All of the pieces were put together with excellent care and didn’t fall apart. Our boutonnières were magnets- easy for the men to put on! She created a pocket boutonnière for the groom that was so different and special. My bridal bouquet was the perfect size and wasn’t heavy at all! She even did our petals for our flower girls. Heather, we loved working with you and look forward to future events where you can help execute our next vision. Thank you for everything and all of your hard work . Love, The Parkers

Ali is literally the best wedding coordinator a couple could ask to have. From the moment we first spoke with her, she made us feel comfortable and confident that we would have a smooth wedding planning experience and stress free wedding day. Although the stress is inevitable, Ali lifted a ton of weight off of our shoulders the entire last month leading up to our wedding and the wedding day was more beautiful than we could’ve imagined. Our only regret was not choosing full service planning with Ali and only going with month-of! We can't imagine the process going smoothly without Ali and her team and highly recommend her to all of our friends and family. She helped us more than we could have ever hoped – from always being available to give us advice on any decisions we had to make, big or small, to making sure we truly were able to enjoy and not worry about anything but being present on our wedding day. There are so many behind-the-scene logistical challenges that we did not even notice until we thought about it after the wedding and realized were handled by her team. We were able to trust her 100% in any stylistic choices because we know she has a good eye for aesthetics and making our vision come to life. She took the time and effort to learn what we as a couple uniquely like, and made sure that everything was perfect on the wedding day. Ali’s experience and advice are what makes her planning invaluable, even the smallest things you might not think about can make such a big difference on how the day pans out. We genuinely don’t think our wedding would have been possible without her and her expert team!

Anne Roos was a fantastic live music addition to our wedding in early April. She had worked with our coordinator in the past, making it a seamless integration into the wedding program. We loved the deep library of music that she offered; we found songs that fit every moment for our ceremony and the cocktail hour. The music added a classy touch to our ceremony and the guests loved the movie themes and show tunes! We had our wedding just after in the last major snowfall in North Lake and she was able to accommodate that the changing weather without any disruption to the program. We would highly recommend Anne for anyone looking for a Classical harpist in the Tahoe region.

Hey, I'm so glad you're here! My name is Heather and I live in beautiful Foresthill, CA. I love any and all hard seltzers, my Great Dane Fritz, and using my camera to capture all the feels. About my business? Well I'm basically a professional wedding crasher, so you know you will always have fun with me! Oh and I've pretty much cried at every wedding I've ever been to...and yours is no exception. Let's be friends!

You can't go wrong with Heather. She and her team handled our engagement photos and shot our wedding. Both sets of pictures are incredible! She captured amazing moments of our wedding--and they match our memories perfectly. Heather's photos are stunning, but also feel authentic. Beyond her photography and editing abilities, she made us feel very comfortable. My wife and I aren't used to professional photoshoots (we are humble folk), so having someone so kind and down-to-earth made those experiences fun. Heather felt like someone we'd want to have at our wedding anyway! Hire her, have fun, and frame those prints.

This was the most amazing & perfect day for us! We are still reliving this day & so happy with how everything turned out. Not only is Winchester CC so beautiful & breathtaking, it’s the perfect venue for us golf lovers as well! My parents went to look at the venue before us without an appointment and the WW team toured them around as if they had one! Amazing customer service! We were sold on the venue right after we toured it & put a deposit down right away! All of the girls are so professional & really want to make your dream wedding come true! I highly recommend attending one of their wedding faires as it’s a great time to speak with your other vendors, see what additional add-ons there might be & even win a raffle prize like us!! The service was amazing from the very beginning to the end. They even allowed us to bring an ice sculpture that was a wedding present to us, they never have dealt with one before but were totally open and willing! Taylor our Coordinator was the best! She rocked it!! She knew we wanted an outdoor wedding, the rain stopped 40 minutes before our ceremony and she was wiping each chair down from the rain. Kayla was great too, making sure we had everything and was comfortable the whole night! I cant recommend WW enough, honestly wedding of our dreams!! We have had many people say it was the best wedding they have ever been to!!

Whether it’s your big day or a special event, I’m here to help you feel confident, radiant, and ready for every unforgettable moment. 🤍

Luxe Esthetics by Maddie was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day makeup. Maddie was super communicative and easy to talk to throughout the entire process, which put me at ease. She took her time with each of us - the bridesmaids, mother of the bride, and myself - and used high quality makeup products that were customized to our individual skin tones and makeup styles. Very clean too! Maddie was punctual on the wedding day, did amazing work with my bridal trial so I knew she understood my vision, and even stayed later on the big day to do some last minute touch-ups. The makeup never feels heavy, yet it lasts all day long. Her rates were also very reasonable for the exceptional service she provided. I highly recommend Luxe Esthetics by Maddie to any bride looking for a talented, professional, and personable makeup artist for their special day. I can't get enough of her- she's done my makeup for my bridal shower, lash extensions for my bachelorette trip, makeup for the wedding crew, makeup for my maternity photos, and makeup for my baby shower ... Needless to say, SHE'S THE BEST and I've found my makeup goddess for life. Thank you so much Maddie :)

We booked Teddy months in advance for our wedding day on April 26, 2025. We wanted a cinematic style to capture our day but we also weren’t familiar with the poses nor how to work with a photographer for a full 11 hours. Teddy made it super easy and great to work with him and ask him what we were hoping to get captured on our wedding day. He was communicative, on time, and open to going with the flow as changes came up with our itinerary due to unexpected rain. We got married at our church, took pictures at a nearby garden, and then we traveled 30 minutes to the reception. We definitely recommend him and hope others can have the great experience we had with him!

I’ve had a camera in my hand since I can remember. On family vacations each of us had a camera and would come back with several rolls of film. It was great to see different perspectives of the same place. My photos became more refined throughout my childhood as I graduated to my stepdad’s Minolta film SLR. In college I dedicated myself to photography professionally with a degree in photojournalism, then found my calling with a wedding studio at 19.

I have worked with Nicky several times and she is fun and professional. She brings a special vibe to her shoots! She's never dull and has great ideas for locations, props, poses, and whatever. Feel free to ask her about your ideas or just let her work her magic. As an officiant, I look forward to working with her as I know we will complement each other's style. She's a great choice!

With the stress of planning a wedding and pressure of making sure everything is perfect I can guarantee that with The Wild Olive it will take a major weight off your shoulders. By the time I got to the floral part of planning I was overwhelmed and quite frankly kind of over it, I gave them color scheme and a few inspo photos and with that she made all my floral dreams come true. If I could rate higher then 5 stars I would!!

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,995
  • Serves Nicolaus, CA

I am Dana Gualco, a natural light and golden hour photographer based in Roseville, CA, serving the Sacramento area and beyond. My passion for photography is rooted in the belief that everyone has a unique story to tell, and I am dedicated to capturing yours with authenticity. Specializing in weddings, engagements, and portraits, I focus on the meaningful details that you will cherish for a lifetime. My goal is to provide high-resolution, timeless images that reflect the raw emotion and beauty of your celebration, turning your fleeting milestones into priceless heirlooms.

Hiring Dana was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She has been our photographer since 2017, back when we were just dating. Since then, she has captured every major milestone in our lives: our proposal, engagement photos, wedding day, pregnancy announcements, newborn sessions for both of our boys, and our family photos every single year since. The fact that we continue to call her year after year says everything about how much we trust her and love her work. On our wedding day specifically, she was calm, organized, and somehow everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive. She made us feel completely comfortable and confident, and she truly has a gift for capturing genuine emotion. Our photos are timeless, beautiful, and still some of our most treasured possessions. Dana is not only incredibly talented, she is kind, warm, and genuinely passionate about what she does. She wants you to feel beautiful and at ease, and she makes the entire experience fun instead of stressful. If you are looking for someone who will capture your wedding day flawlessly and then be the photographer you continue to call for every milestone after that, she is it. We cannot recommend her enough.

Our recent wedding at DG vineyards was incredible. The views were stunning and I think choosing this venue contributed to my wedding planning being so stress free. Also while being 6 months pregnant I never had an issue with them. The wedding director Justin was outstanding and so helpful. You will have your dream wedding if you choose this venue! They were quick and responsive when needing items and asking for help. Very supportive and professional. No one will regret choosing this venue and it is quite high end, as well. Worth every cent
