The Best Wedding Vendors in Solvang, CA

“Michele was our full wedding planner. Our wedding went perfect without a single hitch and it was all thanks to Michele. We had the caterer for our rehearsal dinner drop out one week before the event and Michele found us a replacement within an hour; and the replacement caterer was a slam dunk. Everyone loved the food. On the day of the wedding and rehearsal dinner Michele and Dan did everything. And I mean everything. She set up tables, positioned flowers and welcome signs and seating charts. She ironed over disagreements with vendors and never once did we have to lift a finger. It is a common saying that the bride and groom never enjoy their own wedding but we thoroughly had a blast at ours thanks to Michele. She is forever our go-to recommendation to all our friends getting married. If she has availability to plan your wedding, book her.”

Her communication and flexibility during the preceding year kept our minds at ease (anything you don't have to stress about while planning a wedding is a win). On the day, she was such a positive presence to have around. And from what we've seen of the photos so far, we couldn't have possibly had anyone better. Thank you so much, Lena!!”

“We are absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service provided by Alli – Alexandra Wallace for our engagement and wedding photos. From the initial consultation to the final delivery (within 30 days of the date!) of the photos, every step of the process was handled smooth, organized and her creativity is amazing! On the day of the wedding, Alli went above and beyond to capture every special moment. She was well-prepared, but also incredibly personable, making everyone feel at ease in front of the camera. Her ability to blend into the background while still capturing candid, intimate moments was truly impressive. We love her style each and every photo. What sets Alli apart is her attention to detail and dedication. She knew the perfect spots for our first look, bridal shots, and family photos. She also managed to capture the essence and emotions of the day beautifully, providing us with a stunning collection of photos that we will cherish forever. As promised, the final photos were delivered well before the promised date. The quality of the images exceeded our expectations; every photo was vibrant, well-composed, and perfectly edited. It was evident that she spent time on each photo and took ownership over her work. We highly recommend Alli and her team to any couple looking for a wedding photographer who is not only talented but also dedicated to making your special day unforgettable.

She made everyone in my family/bridal party feel at ease during photos and was such a sweetheart during the entire day! And WOW, the photos!!! Let me first start by saying that my husband and I have NO idea how to pose for photos, but Sarah was so incredibly patient with us. She helped us pose, feel at ease, and laugh the entire way through. She captured each and every moment perfectly and it makes reliving our day so much more incredible. We're so thankful we chose her as our wedding day photographer 3 Do yourself a favor and book Sarah for your next photo shoot—her kindness is infectious and you will want to be her best friend by the end of your shoot.”

She’s so down-to-earth and made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. During our engagement shoot, she guided us effortlessly, showing us how to pose in a way that felt natural and comfortable. We're both not usually in front of the camera so I worried that it would be hard but with Leslie, we felt so confident, had an amazing time and the pictures she captured were absolutely stunning! Everything about working with her, from her easy-to-use portal to her beautifully designed website, was seamless. She is not only an amazing photographer but also such a kind and loving person.

“So the music for our wedding was CRUCIAL for me as it had to be PERFECT. I knew that dance floor had to be LIT. I randomly came across an Instagram video of Justin mixing songs and knew he was the guy to pull it off. It was the exact high energy and excitement we wanted. Justin took so many calls and texts from us explaining each vision that we had from our first dance to special surprise dances and moments even custom mixing tracks for us. No matter the time or day or random thought I had he was totally reachable and ON BOARD. After the wedding we had so many compliments from people about our dance floor and music. Truly it was a BLAST and we could not have done it without Justin. Not to mention great MC skills he totally knew exactly when and how to queue us. The dance floor was going off so much so that we didn't even change songs for the cake cutting and kept it going till we had to shut down El Paseo. BOOK JUSTIN”

“After going back and forth with ideas of a wedding and elopement, we decided to elope at the courthouse in hopes of getting married on our dating anniversary. Unfortunately, the Courthouse can be booked months in advance so we were looking for a nice venue to host us with less than a month away. That's where the USSB came in. With the micro-wedding package, we were able to have a low-cost, intimate, and beautiful wedding ceremony. Joanie was very accommodating with arranging short notice visits to the venue and with entertaining our ideas as we honed in our vision for the wedding. Her and John even took care of the day-of-coordination, allowing our florist to set up the pews and altar and the photographer to post above for some aerial shots. On the wedding day, everything went seamless and stress-free. We can't thank them enough for accommodating us so last minute. We also get so many compliments on the look of the church itself which is always great to hear! There is a also a beautiful park (Keck Alice Park) across the street where we got some amazing photos as well.”

She was recommended to us by our venue, The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, and we are so happy we chose her! Angie has such a positive personality, always kept everything under control, and never let us feel overwhelmed. It was so smooth at times we wondered what we were forgetting, and Angie always reassured us that we had it all covered. She did it ALL - from getting our vendor rates and availability sorted to showing us all our options and details that made the day come to life. Through our regularly scheduled calls and all the messaging in between, she asked all the right questions to help guide the process, (even for things we hadn't even thought about) and was always available for the one-off questions and to keep us sane, especially during those final two critical months before the big day. Angie also has a wonderful website that organized all our to-do lists, inspo pics, budget info, timelines, vendor details, etc. We didn’t realize how essential something like this was for keeping us on track, and it was little extra details like this that made such a difference.

“Amelie is an absolutely stellar photographer! She is incredibly organized, talented and relaxed which put us at ease allowing our most natural selves to be captured on our wedding day. We met Amelie for an engagement session a few months prior to our wedding. She was warm and comforting, suggesting great backdrops and creative, fun poses that had us laughing and smiling. On the big day, Amelie came with a second photographer and they were precise, collaborative and commanding. When our huge wedding party shot list was going to take far too long, she split up the shots between her and her second shooter allowing us to get the shots done quickly and enjoy more of our cocktail hour. When I mentioned, I loved the look of 35mm film, she included the option in our proposal. Amelie really listens, collaborates and captures wonderful memories. Her editing skills make for beautiful keepsakes and her previews of the our wedding (which we received 48 hours after our ceremony) had all of our family and friends raving about the photos.

“I cannot recommend Debbie enough. From the first day I met her up to the day of the wedding, Debbie went above and beyond my expectations! First of all, Debbie was so prompt in communication. It didn't matter what time of day I emailed her, she would respond within a couple hours and would always take initiative to follow up on our meetings. Debbie was also always willing to meet up with me in person whenever I wanted to discuss designs. She even brought samples of cloths, dried flowers, and pot options to one of our meetings so I could see and feel the materials in person!! When it came to design, it was so clear that Debbie has a passion for her work. I would give her ideas of what I was thinking and Debbie would give me her input as well as multiple options for color palettes, floral types, and materials. But she never imposed her ideas onto me and made sure that I got what I wanted. The entire process was organized and easy. She made me mood boards and even a realistic sketches of the arch that I was wanting (with multiple versions). She was also upfront with pricing for any changes that were suggested. Finally on the day of the wedding, Debbie was a total professional and had everything set up right on time. Everything looked even more beautiful than I could've imagined. I am not exaggerating that so many people at my wedding complimented me on the floral arrangements. I feel like whether you know exactly what you want or need help with design, Debbie is your girl. She was someone I never had to worry about and I trusted to put 100% into the job because she truly loves what she does. Best vendor ever!!!”

“Brenda and her team were so helpful and made sure our day was perfect! She was quick to respond on any questions we had and was always willing to help via call or email. Choosing vendors is never an easy task, but with Brenda’s help and wonderful advice choosing all our vendors was totally achievable. We knew nothing about wedding planning or where to even start, but with deadlines that Brenda gave us and timelines everything seemed to go together and planning a wedding actually made sense. Everyone who was able to attend our wedding has said it was “one of the best weddings ever” and they loved how everything was setup, and none of that would’ve been done without the Gathering for Goods team. Our wedding was the most memorable, relaxing, and enjoyable experience for us and many of our family and friends as well! Without Brenda and her team we would’ve been much more stressed and lost. There isn’t a thing we would’ve changed about our wedding, Brenda you’re an amazing wedding coordinator. Thank you to the entire Gathering for Goods Team for helping create a memory we will cherish forever!! - The Rainbolts”
