From the very first interaction, she was friendly, welcoming, and made us feel at ease throughout the entire planning process. She ensured that every detail of our special day was executed to perfection. Athena herself went above and beyond, dressing up to match our Gatsby wedding theme, bringing me snacks and drinks when she knew everyone else was busy, picking me up and dropping me off as needed throughout the venue, she definitely ensured I was taken care of. She seemed to be everywhere at once, guiding us and our guests through the day seamlessly.

The Celebration DJ

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves Kensington, CA
  • Offer

I’ve been playing weddings for over twelve years and I love my work! My services cover any or all aspects of wedding & receptions. I have found my life’s artistic calling in becoming flexible to every type of music my clients could desire. I learn to enjoy whatever my clients love and this resonance makes my job sustainable and ever-enjoyable. But, I do tend to request the ability to make choices for the dance-floor that rely on my years of dance-enhancing experience. I meet with my clients to determine what music they would love to hear and what music they do NOT want to hear.

We’d experienced some strange DJ moments at other weddings - airhorns, over the top transitions, self advertising - so we were feeling picky as we embarked on the first DJ search of our own. Celebration DJ stood out to us, and the ability to hire a DJ who can also sing and play guitar was an enticing combo. Brandon did a fabulous job bringing his professional experience to the day - we really wanted a packed dance floor and he delivered. The photobooth and its quirky props were a huge hit with our guests, and the GIFs that were available afterwards are so fun and unique! We also loved that we could collaborate on playlists via Spotify - made it easy and now we can continue to listen to our wedding music for years to come. Thank you Brandon and the Celebration DJ team!

I'm Katherine, a wedding photographer based in Oakland, CA. With over a decade of experience and features in Vogue, Brides, The New York Times, and more, I know how to create wedding photos that don’t just look stunning — they feel like you. No trendy filters, no forced poses, just authentic moments that reflect who you are. I believe the best moments aren’t staged. They unfold naturally, in the quiet glances, the belly laughs, and those unspoken connections shared with your loved ones. My goal is to capture those raw, in-between moments that truly make your wedding day yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
Katherine is incredible to work with. She took our photos for our elopement in the San Francisco, California courthouse and she made the process so smooth!! We had no idea where to go, where the best picture spots were, etc- but Katherine had it all laid out, she even told us where the best spot to park is. She is so easy going, makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and took the absolute best photos. Seriously- she exceeded our expectations and I am in LOVE with our photos. Thank you for everything, Katherine!!

I’m Colin Pattison, owner and filmmaker at Featherstone Wedding Films. I film weddings because I believe in the power of marriage, and I have a passion for capturing special moments on film. I’ve helped countless couples create their ideal wedding film for over 10 years. My goal is to capture lasting memories through beautiful, personalized wedding films. From first consultation, to finished film, I’ll be with you every step of the way.

Colin was probably one of the easiest vendors to work with. We chatted on the phone to get to know him, sent him our deposit and that was that! We talked a bit leading up to the wedding, but he and my photographer communicated to get on the same page/ timeline so I didn’t have to stress much about that either. The day of, him and his team were wonderful all day. They themselves were professional, and all his gear was as well. One of the things I appreciated most about Colin was his ability to be everywhere to get footage, but he was secretive about it, so those that are shy on camera didn’t feel pressured. My videos I got were AMAZING. I don’t know how many times we have watched the videos together or how many I’ve watched it alone but, every time feels like the first. It’s beautiful work and truly captured our wedding day and our personalities. We also got raw footage from him that had us cackling. It’s awesome seeing the day again through both the finished product and the raw footage. Thank you Colin for everything. I highly recommend Colin to everyone!!

We hired Brendan Reiss to film our wedding. Brendan was easy to communicate with and was able to answer all of our questions. The way Brendan filmed our wedding was truly magical. One unique thing Brendan did was filming aerial views of our wedding venue with his drone. He used top of the line equipment to film our wedding and didn’t miss any important shots. The highlight video and long video Brendan provided us was breathtaking. The videos were high quality, and the music chosen truly matched our wedding. We want to say thank you Brendan for your thoughtfulness, and flexibility working with us. The videos you made for us will be something that we cherish forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were referred to Savvy Weddings because Amanda had coordinated my sister’s beautiful wedding in Hawaii. When my sister mentioned that Amanda had a California counterpart and partner, Sandra, who handled all California weddings, we knew we had to meet her. From the moment we connected with Sandra, it was clear—she was an absolute godsend! I truly can’t imagine having planned my wedding without her by our side. Sandra was attentive, thoughtful, and with us every step of the way. Even though we only booked the “month-of” service, she generously provided support well in advance, joining us for vendor consultations and venue walkthroughs nearly a year before the wedding. She went far beyond what we expected, giving us peace of mind through the entire planning process. Her dependability and calm presence made everything feel manageable, and I knew I could trust her completely. When the wedding weekend finally arrived, Sandra and her amazing team were on top of every detail. They took care of everything seamlessly, helping me stay calm and present—something I didn’t think would be possible with all the wedding-day jitters! Thanks to Sandra, my wedding day was everything I dreamed of and more. So much of the magic we experienced was because of her and her incredible team. I will forever cherish the memories of that day, and I am endlessly grateful to Sandra for making it all happen. If you’re considering Savvy Weddings, do yourself a favor—hire Sandra. She will make your wedding dreams come true!

Hi couple! My name is Nelvir Aquino, a wedding videographer based in Northern California. My mission is to leave you with a wedding video that makes you smile when you're older, cry when you need it and overall a video that reminds you what a special day your wedding was.

Awarded Best of Zola
Nelvir is awesome. He has fair pricing and great work, with a good turnaround time. The day of the wedding, he showed up on time and got straight into recording. He followed us the entire day and had video content ideas that we would've not thought of. After the wedding, he quickly turned around the teaser video, which was very romantic (and a great video!). Though as a couple, we felt that something less romantic and more upbeat was a better fit — he took in that feedback and quickly revamped the vibe of the teaser. He also implemented this vision for the actual highlight reel. We could not have asked for a better outcome. Thank you Nelvir!

Richard was helpful and respectful throughout our entire wedding planning process. He worked flawlessly with me, my partner, and our wedding planner to pull off an incredibly fun reception. Richard did an initial call with my partner to discuss the general vibe we were looking for, and we knew immediately he would be a great fit for our wedding. Richard gave us a helpful questionnaire to fill out key songs and general musical interests (and do not play songs). Richard was also happy to jump on calls with us to talk through our questions and hopes for our big day. I especially appreciated that Richard was able to play some German songs for some guests who had flown in from Germany, as that got even some of our older relatives on the dance floor. People were partying all night thanks to Richard! Richard catered to our wide age range of guests, and even gave us a couple of bonus closing songs that were the perfect conclusion to the night. We could not have asked for a better DJ.

We found Jermaine on Zola and we are so thankful we did. We had looked at dozens of videographers in our area and none seemed to have exactly what we were looking for. But we were unsure about choosing a vendor that was out of state. Jermaine was always prompt to respond to us on Zola and then in email later on. He was very patient with us during our wedding planning process (which took months) and followed up with us without seeming pushy. On the day of the wedding, he was very friendly and professional. If you are looking for a videographer that is going to be the fly on the wall, he's your guy. He was not loud, rude, or over animated. It seems he stands by and watches the magic unfold on the wedding day without interrupting the candid, authentic, raw and genuine moments happening. He got the best footage from every aspect of the day. It goes by so fast and you don't even remember half of it. But Jermaine captured every detail and we love watching our videos over and over again. It's like we can watch it from our guest's perspective and see everything that happened that day that we missed because we were in the moment of being newlyweds. His turnaround time was fast! We were so happy to have the teaser video back in about a week and then the highlight video maybe a week after that. He is a wonderful guy and very easy to work with. While making our documentary video and highlight videos, he was always willing and able to make any edits we requested i.e. taking something out or adding something in. We 10/10 recommend him and would hire him again.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sutherland Entertainment was one of our vendors at our wedding this past weekend at the Brazilian Room in Berkeley, CA and we cannot say enough good things about Spencer! He was on the preferred list of vendors for this venue and we can see why. Spencer is detail oriented, professional and a great MC/ DJ. He has a variety of packages that offer AV, DJ-ing and even photo booth services. He is incredibly knowledgeable and we had zero mic feedback, great mic volume and clarity. He was able to read the crowd and kept the party going all night long! Before the wedding he made sure to send over a planning spreadsheet so he knew exactly what it was we wanted. He even helped put up some Chinese lanterns for us on the patio to really bring our vision to life. Day of, he checked in with us the whole day to make sure we were feeling good. We had a small issue with a table falling over and he was the first vendor to come over and reassure us that everything was going to be fine. Overall, Sutherland Entertainment is the DJ to beat and should be your first choice when looking for a full-service, awesome party.

One word: Perfect. As someone who suffers from severe anxiety, I can honestly say I have never felt more at-ease and confident than while working with the Wedgewood Weddings Redwood Canyon team -- they always had our backs, kept us on track, and made us feel taken care of. From the first venue visit, during the planning meetings, all the way until the rehearsal and wedding day, the professionalism, clear communication, planning resources, and organized approach made for a seamless experience. We worked with Allison as our Wedding Planner and Coordinator and I firmly believe that she is one of the main reasons our wedding went as incredibly as it did. Redwood Canyon, provides a planning binder as soon as you sign that includes monthly checklists ahead of the wedding to help keep you organized in between planning meetings. It is also filled with valuable information about the wedding planning process, examples, vendor questions, and general guidelines. It helped us structure the planning process without losing the ability to truly personalize our event. Every meeting we had with the planning team was concise, direct, and organized -- it helped us stay on track throughout the process and gave us the opportunity to discuss ideas and ask for advice (which they are also more than happy to give via email). Super responsive and accommodating -- we were so impressed with how easy the process was. We also partnered with their recommended Bakery, DJ, and Florist as part of our vendor team, and the coordination between venue and vendors was absolutely seamless...by the time the week of the wedding rolled around all the main aspects were locked in and we knew the event was in good hands. The wedding day itself was perfect. Allison served as our Day-Of-Coordinator, and together with Jacoby (co-coordinator), Liv (banquet captain), Liz (banquet captain), and rest of the team (cooks, servers, bartenders) we had the most incredible wedding. We arrived at the agreed-upon time on the day of the wedding, and from that moment onwards, the Redwood Canyon team took over to deliver the best experience. They were organized, calm, kept us well hydrated and fed, and kept everything on track for us all night. We were able to confidently hand off the reins -- we didn't have to think of anything all day other than having a good time and enjoying our day as much as possible, trusting that all the logistics were in good hands. Overall, the venue itself was gorgeous. We had our ceremony in the Arbor Lawn, our Reception in the Grand Ballroom (we initially chose the venue primarily because of the dance floor), and rented out the Rose Room for the Cocktail Hour. Everything was included and beautifully decorated with all our desired personal touches, the food and drinks were delicious, and the planning and coordination services must be some of the best in the business. I can't imagine a more incredible experience than what we had and am so thankful for the Redwood Canyon team's care and professionalism -- especially Allison, who we were fortunate enough to work with from first meeting through the day-of. The wedding day went off without a hitch and I couldn't recommend the Redwood Canyon team more 3

Dana is fantastic! On my wedding day, she did hair on 8 girls, each wanting different styles, which she executed perfectly. We finished on time and she gave me a little kit in case we needed to fix anything later in the evening. My hair looked amazing and lasted all night, even after hours of dancing! I would HIGHLY recommend her work for your special day!

Danny was the best to work with, from start to finish. When we first spoke to Danny on the phone, he was so friendly and easy to talk to. On the day of our wedding, it was the same. He genuinely had the most amazing vibe to him and made everyone feel so unbelievably comfortable - our families, bridal party, guests, and us. It honestly felt great having him around. Our parents loved him and made that very clear to us, which we completely understood, as we felt the same. He was so kind and friendly to everyone and our videos were beautiful and everything we wanted them to be. If we could go back, there is no doubt that we would choose him all over again. Thank you so much for being part of and capturing one of the most special days ever!

Samantha Keefauver was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day! From the moment I reached out, Sam was incredibly approachable, knowledgeable, and friendly. The platform she works through was also nice to use as it kept communication streamlined and all in one place (especially since wedding planning can overwhelm you with emails). She took the time to understand my vision and was so patient in walking me through the process. On my wedding day, Sam and her entire team were consummate professionals. They made me and my entire bridal party feel so beautiful and radiant (we were all obsessed with the glowy bridal looks and loved how versatile everyone was). All of my bridesmaids were raving about how kind and attentive Sam was, and we were all such big fans! If I could have Sam do my makeup every single day, I absolutely would.

I’m Cherlyn (rhymes with Berlin). So nice to e-meet you! If we met in person and it wasn’t during a pandemic- I would probably hug you! I’m an introvert-extrovert and tend to ramble too much when I get nervous. In emails - I tend to use exclamation points a lot!! (and will agonize over my drafts of emails before sending them because they probably have one too many!!) My aim as your photographer is to provide a memorable experience where you two feel comfortable, taken care of, and get to fully enjoy your wedding day as much as possible with all your guests & loved ones - whether they be in real life or via livestream!

Awarded Best of Zola
Cherlyn captured our elopement in November 2024 at Timber Cove Inn. Since this was a second wedding for both of us, and was very small (just us and our kids) we wanted to keep things simple, focusing on the beauty of the landscape with a simple, sweet ceremony. Cherlyn absolutely nailed it - she captured the vibe we were going for perfectly and the photos are absolutely stunning! I could not be happier with the photos and the experience as a whole. She made us so comfortable and that led to great photos where we look at ease, which is just how we felt.
