Awarded Best of Zola
I wish I’d spoke up on being self conscious about my butt, and I didn’t so I have some pictures I probably won’t be sharing, but the pictures we have are pretty, she got everything I wanted during our ceremony, I just wish I had gotten some pictures with my bridesmaids and me in my wedding dress. The ball got dropped on that. Other than that I’m happy with my ceremony pictures, and some of the pictures where I’m facing away from the camera I’m not a huge fan of. My husband loves them though, so that’s good. There was some miscommunication on editing and what not, but over all we got some really good photos.

Dana Point, CA
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $6,000

Hailing from New Orleans, LA, and now based out of South Orange County, CA, I fell in love with photography long ago. I officially launched my wedding & elopement photography business in 2021. After graduating in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, I found myself having the time to further fall in love with photography, getting the chance to photograph more and more - so much so that I was able to start my own business in a rather unexpected way. Now able to travel the world with my camera in tow, I am beyond grateful for this passion turned career, & I feel so blessed every time my finger presses down on my camera shutter.

Shooting with Cass was such a dream. She is the most organized-but-easy-going photographer ever, and her style is incredible. She works weddings with such class, creativity, and professionalism that her years of experience really shows - and she puts her clients first by paying attention to their needs, while also capturing a beautiful wedding gallery. She's a fantastic wedding vendor to hire!

Lynne's attention to detail and creative eye resulted in florals that were not only beautiful, but also an incredible value. We loved working with her so much that we had her do the florals for our baby shower a 8 years later as well! Lynne and her team were an integral part of making our wedding day & baby shower so special.

Choosing Joyfully Co. for our wedding planning services was the BEST decision we made throughout the entire wedding planning. Blaire was a phenomenal wedding planner in that she was incredibly flexible, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process. My husband and I changed our minds about a hundred times on hotel venue vs small elopement and even went back and forth between several venues. Blaire was never impatient with us and truly wanted us to have the best day. The wedding day itself was perfect. I could not have hoped for a more organized, effortless, and stress-free experience. Throughout the day, Blaire and Sharon checked up on all of our guests and made sure their needs were met. They checked on us and asked if we needed anything, they handled all minor issues flawlessly and kept us informed so we felt none of the stress. Absolutely will be recommending Joyfully Co. to all of my family and peers for their weddings. Thank you again for a phenomenal experience, and I look forward to working with your team again for future birthdays and large parties!

He made sure that he had everyone's names correct, that our timeline was on schedule, and was able to work on his feet when something didn't happen exactly in the timeline.

TLDR: Hiring Modern Highway for our wedding was, hands down, the best decision my wife and I made for our big day. First and foremost, they are all talented, professional, and brought a large repertoire to the table. Christina is a fantastic singer, with big range. She is also a great business person, again with exceptional range - handling our light, acoustic service music, our post-wedding cocktail music, and our reception music. All live - which kicked the sheeet out of a DJ. She also MC’d. For weddings, hitting hitches is bad - there were none. The long version: Our wedding was a Sunday. It was in a more remote area from LA - Temecula. My wife had just been injured in a car accident - so we were a little nervous but the event was still a go with many people flying in. I am a musician and my wife and I had made the decision that live music was what we wanted for our big celebration. In hindsight, my only regret is the Sunday wedding because we hired Modern Highway to do our music and they were on fire. And some guests had to think about…Monday. But Christina and the band really held things together. It was a fun event and a big piece of that was the music. Christina brought a tremendous amount of energy. Her voice is electric and, when it came time to dance, the band brought it. Christina was very active moving through the crowd, dancing and singing. It is so hard to do that well - to be the energy. Where we needed “other” services, for first dances, parent dances, introductions, ceremony, etc., Christina & Modern Highway had it all covered. In a few cases we needed streamed music - covered. We needed someone to make the event go from the mic - covered. In a unique circumstance, my own band wanted to play - covered. If I’d been them, I would have said no. And frankly, based on what I saw from Christina, we could not have had a better person handling the mic that night. My wife and I look back on our wedding day as a true blessing - a day we were ecstatic about on the spot. I know a big piece of our internal satisfaction is knowing the entertainment was top notch. I wish Christina could have been our photographer as well!

Taylor and her team are an absolute blast! Wedding days are really chaotic and can be stressful, and most of the time your makeup team is the first vendor of the day, so I’m so glad I chose Taylor to do our hair and makeup. Not only is Taylor and her team professional and amazing at what they do, but they were extremely fun and sweet too. Having such a friendly team really eased the stress of the morning and made it so that it didn’t feel like an overwhelming production but just a fun morning with the girls getting pretty and ready for a party. I felt like the most beautiful bride and getting our hair and makeup done wasn’t just a part of the day, it’s a happy memory now that makes me smile and laugh when I think back on how much fun we all had with them. I 10000/10 recommend Taylor and her team for your wedding makeup and hair. I can’t thank them enough.

I’m Ashley, the owner of Rose Event Co. I love being able to share in the love of two individuals and feel lucky to get to work with such wonderful people each day! I’ve been planning weddings and events for over eight years now, and I couldn’t be more thankful with where I am now in my business. I primarily serve the OR | WA | CA markets, but will travel anywhere!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Ashley at Rose Event Co as our Day of Wedding Coordinator was definitely one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. I thought I was going to be able to manage planning our entire wedding myself, but as the day crept closer and closer, I realized that I was definitely going to need a hand. We spoke with a dozen different coordinators, and Ashley just stood out SO strongly amongst the rest. To put it as simply as possible, she saw our vision, she understood it, she stood in and shared in it with us. She knew exactly how to support us in making it happen, and she was easily able to make us feel that. We initially had concerns about her being located so far away from us (we're in Oakland, CA), but she put those concerns to rest so quickly! Throughout my months of planning after hiring Ashley, she was always there to answer my questions, and provide support and reassurance in all of the little things that I just wasn't sure how to handle myself, and she did so with such grace, patience, and an air of calm that was so extremely helpful and reassuring. When the month of our wedding arrived, Ashley quickly got to work on communicating with and organizing all of our vendors and laying out the structure for the day. She traveled to Monte Rio to be with us the day before our big day, walked us through the ceremony, went over all of the details, and left us so confident and comfortable in her extremely capable hands. The day of the wedding, Ashley handled EVERYTHING and EVERYONE with such care and tranquility. All of our wedding vendors absolutely loved her, and we never stopped hearing about how great she was to work with! Ashley is an absolute BOSS in all of the best ways that you can imagine! She is supportive, encouraging, communicative, active, helpful, caring, the list just goes on and on. She wants you to succeed, and you can FEEL it. She remembered and double checked on all of the little details, before, during, and after our wedding, and words simply cannot express our gratitude. She did so many things automatically, that I hadn't even thought to discuss with her, but was so grateful that we had her there to do. Thank you Ashley!! She did so many little things that I didn't even realize until I started looking through all of our photos, and noticed that they had all been done. On top of all of that, she basically packed up the entirety of our decor with the assistance of her extremely helpful husband, which was such a huge relief for us and for our wedding party who had put so much into the day. We were all able to completely disconnect and just enjoy the evening, which was so unbelievably priceless. There are so many things that make Ashley stand out from other coordinators. So many coordinators that we had talked to before Ashley had a big list of things that they would NOT do, but not Ashley. She was willing to do whatever needed to be done to ensure that our wedding day went perfectly, and it did, thanks to her!! HUGE bonus, she brought along her Super 8 camera, and we CANNOT WAIT to see the footage!! If you're looking for someone who has your back, and can handle ALL of the things with a level of calm that oozes into everyone around her, HIRE ASHLEY! You absolutely will not regret it. Thank you so much Ashley, for EVERYTHING that you did, and for ALL of your help in making our wedding day so unbelievably perfect!!

Wyld Story | Outdoor Wedding Photo & Video 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Dana Point, CA

We’re Tucker and Alyssa, the husband and wife duo behind Wyld Story. We specialize in storytelling that feels honest, effortless, and deeply you. We believe wedding photography should feel like hanging out with friends who just happen to have cameras. We’re here to document the real stuff: the belly laughs, the happy tears, the in-between moments that matter just as much as the big ones. No stiff poses. No forced smiles. Just you, your people, and all the magic that unfolds when you’re fully present on your day. We offer soft direction just to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

There were a lot of unknowns about our wedding. But one decision was easy; choosing Tucker and Alyssa to be our photographers. We have followed Tucker Horton Media on Instagram for a while before we got engaged and when we decided on a venue in southern California, we knew we had to reach out to our favorite Instagram photographers.   Their replies were quick, professional and their quotes were more than fair. We were particularly pleased to learn that engagement photos were included in the quote and took full advantage of that perk as well!   Engagement photos: One thing we loved about working with Tucker and Alyssa was how much space they gave us during our engagement shoot. With all the wedding planning in our heads, they could tell we needed a moment to relax before we could really get the pictures we wanted. Their patience and relaxed presence let us open up and capture some truly beautiful moments. Tucker can chase the light like no other and Alyssa fed us prompts when we were feeling awkward. The result was some really special moments both captured in photo, and felt by the both of us. And! The turn-around time for getting our photos back was way faster than we thought!   Wedding Day: To be frank, our wedding day was more hectic than some. Personalities clashed, and some things fell apart. Through that, Wyld Story found pockets of peace to capture some really beautiful moments and showed incredible grace under pressure.   The final pictures were beyond what we could have expected! One of which we actually turned into a 2000 piece puzzle and is currently hanging in our living room! When we went through the fullness of our wedding photos a couple weeks later, more than once we found ourselves saying, “Wait, that’s us???” just because some of the pictures were so spectacular.   One of the best parts of the Wyld Story package was being able to get a handful of sneak peak photos to pass around at dinner to all of our guests. That extra step was a way for us to keep the celebration going right after the ceremony and was an amazing surprise! We were also amazed at the number of photos we got of our guests that were taken while we were off doing other things. During our wedding day, we found ourselves pulled in so many directions as we interacted with all of our guests. After the wedding day, we got to relive different parts of our reception that we had initially missed and smile in the moments that our guests got to enjoy.

She is very detailed oriented, an amazing listener, and was easily accessible. Leading up to and day of, Makayla and her team made it stressful free in every way! Our ceremony and reception turned out exactly how I envisioned. She also made sure that we were taken care of throughout the day, got us food, & kept us hydrated haha. We miss her so much and cannot wait to have her help us plan our next event. Thank you Makayla and the team for going above and beyond our expectations!! We couldn’t have imagined it any other way.

That’s it! If you were teetering on the edge of hiring Diana and Isiah, go ahead and take the jump— you will not be disappointed. They make every step of the process simple and even go out of their way if you have questions about permits and park rules. When my husband and I decided to elope in Death Valley NP, we found the Love and Latitudes blog and quickly knew that they were going to be a perfect fit. Isiah was a wonderful officiant, working with us to get a script that we loved and answering questions about getting the license. Diana was a clear communicator through every step, and the photos speak for themselves. We will definitely work (and hang out) with them again if we get a chance!

Imagine walking into a wedding and saying “WOW. I’ve never seen anything like this before!” At CJC that’s the vibe we are all about!!

Awarded Best of Zola
There are not enough words in the English dictionary to describe how wonderful Joey is. Not only is she the kindest woman you will ever meet, but you will never feel like "just another client" when you're with her. She listens to your individuality and embraces your ideas to create your own one-of-a-kind dream wedding. She takes the time and works hard in every single aspect of her craft -- it truly is amazing to have an artist that took the time to wrap 200 twinkle light strands with over 50 6 ft. fall leaf garlands and tie them up on the ceiling, all because I (the bride) wanted to feel like I was in an autumn rustic, twinkle light heaven. Hiring her is the best thing we did for our wedding. Not only did we have the wedding of our dreams, but we walked away with a lifelong friend. To hire Joey is to know your wedding or event will go off without a hitch. Trust me, just look at these photos!

Seps' Saxophone Experience

  • Starts at $1,000

"I am still in awe. 100/10 absolutely phenomenal. Thank you for above & beyond service. BOOK HIM you will not regret it." -Reese Free. As you compare performers, you likely wonder what makes one a better fit than another. Of course, musical skill is important. This is something I've developed in my 15 years of playing. But there's more than that—it's the ability to fit seamlessly with a DJ, to connect with vendors behind the scenes to minimize weight on your shoulders, to deliver your important songs in a way that accentuates the emotions of the moment. With Seps, you can expect a performance of a lifetime, with the easiest prep imaginable.

Awarded Best of Zola
Seps was the BEST addition to our wedding we could have ever asked for! He brought the party and the energy and made it an unforgettable night. The number one thing guests talk to us about after the day! If you’re looking for a fun and unique touch to liven up the party, Seps is your guy! 10000/10!

Hi! I’m Serenity — SoCal-based wedding planner, Day of Coordination pro, and unapologetic lover of crisp Diet Coke.

Wow! What can we say about Brandi? Literally everything, because she was that amazing! We came all the way from South Carolina without seeing anything in person, and we put our full trust into Brandi and her team. They FULLY delivered. On our wedding day, countless guests approached us to praise her professionalism, kindness, efficiency, and quick thinking. And that was just the wedding day! We experienced her exceptional service every step of the way. Brandi always took the time to truly understand my husband and me. She fought battles for us that we didn’t even know existed! Reaching the month of the wedding without feeling stressed was something I never thought possible, but it was truly magical. On the day of the wedding, I was dancing, singing, and basking in the excitement of marrying my husband because Brandi took care of EVERYTHING! She even gave my Maid of Honor a walkie-talkie to ensure clear and concise communication. To any future Mr. & Mrs. who don’t know where to turn, Brandi is your go-to! We are so blessed to have had her as our wedding planner and are filled with immense gratitude for her!

Hi, I'm Petra. I'm a SoCal-based pianist specializing in weddings, upscale corporate events and private parties—whether there’s a piano on-site or not (I bring my own!). With a Doctorate in Piano Performance and years of live event experience, I create dynamic, custom medleys of pop hits, rock anthems, EDM melodies, and dance soundtracks that capture the perfect vibe for each celebration.

Petra was definitely a highlight of my wedding day. She performed during the religious ceremony and it couldn't have been more perfect. I definitely couldn't have dreamt of a more beautiful walk down the aisle Her talent is just mindblowing, and she is also very friendly and professional. She was completely accommodating in terms of the musical choices and it was nice having her at the rehearsal to make the necessary arrangements to the length of the music. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a musical intervention for an event, her amazing talent will not disappoint!
