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.

CONNER UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT!! My husband and I gave him a few "must have" songs and explained the vibe/type of music we like- leaving him pretty much in charge of the playlist. HE NAILED IT. He played banger after banger making it impossible for myself and guests to leave the dance floor. He even included clips from some of the speeches that were given earlier in the evening. INCREDIBLE! I've had several people since, ask for his contact information to play future events! If you're looking for someone to keep the dance party flowing- call Conner! 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!

Ryan Films SD 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Cardiff By The Sea, CA

Our team is dedicated towards telling your love story through our love of story-telling with film! Capturing your moment on camera is our specialty - your wedding day and our expertise is a match made in heaven. They say your wedding day passes by in a flash, we'll be there to capture your special moments to watch throughout the years.

TLDR: Hire Ryan, he’s worth every penny! I had roughly an 18 month engagement and I interviewed several videographers in the valley and I couldn’t find a good fit. I just stopped looking for like a year when I saw there was a new player in town: Ryan Films was at the bridal convention and his style was impeccable for what I was looking for. I reached out immediately and he was so responsive and nice. I already loved his style but his organization and communication were just godsends during our busy season. He sent us the proposed contracts and everything was done through a handy portal and he was great at reminding us for important dates or to dos and I feel like he really wanted to get a sense of what we were like as a couple. I loved his detailed emails because he mentioned things to do that I would have never thought about! And of course, day of, Ryan and his assistant were extremely friendly and great to work with. They worked well with my photographer and had great energy. The team together was amazing, I feel like I could have not chosen better vendors for our special day. Now the product itself (delivered very promptly after the wedding with expedited delivery) was immaculate. He has an amazing eye at capturing all the little things I’ve missed because the day flew by. When I saw people’s videos on their cellphone of the night, you can literally see Ryan and his assistant flying through the room catching the best views but it’s crazy because during the day of, I didn’t feel like his presence was distracting, he just seamlessly existed in the background while capturing magic! Overall, if you are in the market looking for a videographer, I highly suggest Ryan Films. I’m so happy I procrastinated for a videographer because the right one just wasn’t here yet!

  • 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. Our family and friends wouldn’t leave dance floor and that’s the exact outcome we asked for and were hoping for when we sought out Cam's services. 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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am beyond lucky and happy that I found Ayleen for my wedding day. I looked everywhere on instagram and wedding websites and had such a hard time finding someone who is so great at their work but also offers a reasonable price. Then I found Ayleen. She made me look so perfect on my wedding day and my bridesmaids were absolutely stunning. She was also so flexible with day of add ons like my mom, aunt, and mother in law. She knows how to work quickly and efficiently while still being so calming and kind on a stressful day! I look back on my wedding day and know I had the absolute best vendors and that was because Ayleen was one of them!

If you are looking for an amazing wedding planning team - YOU FOUND THEM. Korina and her team were easily the BEST choice we made when it came to our wedding choices. They went above and beyond for us in every single way!! My husband, Kap and I got engaged 5/5/21 in San Diego where we recently settled down. The first and hardest decision to start wedding planning, was finding the right team. We searched through at least 20 different wedding planning teams. We got referred to Korina and the moment we met - we clicked. She just got our vision and was so invested in us as a couple. We got married on 5/5/23 so, we worked together very closely for two years!! We decided to go with the full planning package. And it was worth every penny. When Kap and I talk about our wedding, we say Korina was the best we spent. She spent a ton of time with over over a few years and kept us on track in our planning process. Korina and her team are extremely detail oriented and layed out the planning process in an easy manner. She used a software to keep us organized and it broke down each step into a task. This was HUGE because my husband and I had crazy work hours during our planning process. So we could log in anytime to see based on how far out we were, what needed to be accomplished. We chose Scripps Seaside Forum in La Jolla for our venue. It was beautiful but, you have to bring in all your own vendors which felt a bit overwhelming. Luckily, Korina and her team have a great reputation so, she had an amazing list of vendors she introduced us too. So, we had a handful recommended to us so, we could easily choose which one fit our budget and our vision. She also helped us prioritize where we wanted our money to go based on what we cared about most - like photography and rental design. One of the hardest things to find in a wedding planning team, is the ‘human aspect’ — this means someone who genuinely cares about you as a couple and to help you create the wedding of your dreams. During our planning process, I lost my dad. She sent some flowers and gave me some space when I needed it the most. (Literally crying thinking about how nice this was). She was so kind. Having a wedding can sometimes mean a lot of people in your life have a lot of opinions. Kap and I wanted to have a lot of non traditional things about our wedding. We made the wedding about us and our love versus focusing on the traditional things you are ‘suppose’ to have. She made this so easy and simple and supported us in every way. She helped plan our timeline down to the MINUTE! This made it easy for us to enjoy every minute and eachother throughout the day! Last but definitely not least, Korina has an EYE for design. Outside of our love being front and center, I had a specific vision I saw for Kap and I. Korina helped us negotiate with vendors, stay within our budget, and push back on our venue to use the second floor for cocktail hour. It was hard with the timing and rentals but she MADE IT HAPPEN!!!!! Korina is the definition of a sweet and hardworking entrepreneur. The day of our wedding she was calm cool and collected. She directed her team with poise and elegance. It was amazing to see her in her element. She has a tough job but by looking at her — you would never know how much she does behind the scenes. We would HIGHLY recommend using Serene Events and Design to anyone in the SoCal area. It will easily be the best decision in your wedding planning process!!!!!

Angeline understood our vision from the very first time we spoke to her! She sent us a moodboard and made us mock ups in her home, and we knew then that she'd be the one to help us bring our dream wedding to life. She took to heart our requests (woodsy, rustic, wildflowers) and even provided great advice and recommendations (not so much baby's breath!). We're so grateful she undertook our small wedding in the mountains. I really believe without her flowers, it would not have been the same. Thank you Angeline!

I got married here at the beginning of June and it was the best day of my life and Forgotten Barrel definitely made it an amazing day. When I first came here to tour the place, Alyssa made me feel like a bride and not just another person looking for a venue. She was easy to work with and definitely was one of the many selling points of picking this venue for our wedding. The day itself was flawless and all our guests had a great time here. We also came at a perfect time of the year because all the flowers were blooming and the place looked extra beautiful. I definitely recommend this place you won't regret it!

Styles By Joanne Fortune

Styles by Joanne was born out of a desire to pursue my passions in the beauty and styling industry. Starting out as an individual stylist, I quickly realized the demand for my services was growing by the day and that I couldn't do it alone. So, I decided to build a team of like-minded stylists who share my passion for making people feel confident by enhancing their natural beauty. Our ultimate goal is to make our clients leave feeling confident and radiant. We're continually striving to elevate our skills and knowledge so that we can continue to exceed our clients' expectations and offer the same wonderful experience across the board.

Styles By Joanne Fortune was an amazing choice for my wedding beauty needs. From the beginning, Joanne and her sister were incredibly kind, helpful, and solution-oriented. During the makeup trial, they actively listened to my feedback and made adjustments to ensure my look was flawless on the big day. On the wedding day, their work was truly impressive - my Korean-inspired makeup was stunning, and the braided half-up, half-curled hairstyle they created stayed perfectly in place all day long. They worked efficiently, giving me extra time to prepare with my bridal party. Joanne and her sister were so personable and a joy to work with. I would highly recommend Styles By Joanne Fortune to any couple looking for talented, professional, and delightful beauty experts to help make their special day a success.

TL;DR: Hire Jenna, you will be sad if you don't. She is the best. Jenna Carino was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the moment we met her, we knew that we were in good hands. i have worked in the wedding industry myself and had extremely high expectations for how I wanted to be supported on my wedding day and Jenna surpassed every single one. Jenna was incredibly helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process, making everything easy and stress-free. She was always available to answer our questions and provide guidance, she helped us with DJ recommendations, design and ultimately delivered the wedding of our dreams! Jenna went above and beyond to ensure that our special day was perfect. Jenna was our favorite person throughout the entire process, and as the bride I was constantly talking about how much I relied on her and loved having her as the person to lean on. I already miss working with her and both of us cannot recommend her highly enough. On our wedding day, we did not worry about a single thing thanks to her. She kept everyone organized, she handled many different personalities with professionalism, kindness, humor and grace. We are so grateful to have had Jenna as our wedding coordinator, and we would give her 10 stars if we could!

The photos taken by Erin were great. The beginning process was really easy, but somehow the communication didn't connect to the actual photographer. We had a few miscommunications, but they quickly resolved the matter. The video came back not to the satisfaction of the client, so we pushed the video back to be reviewed and reworked. The quality hands down was excellent. I would certainly recommend them and work with them again.
