The Perfect Pair Wedding

San Marcos, CA
  • Planner

  • Starts at $2,500

Hi! I am Clemence the face behind The Perfect Pair Wedding :) I am born & raised in France, in the city of love Paris. During college I got the chance to do a semester abroad in San Diego, and met this really special, handsome, American guy... You see it coming? YES! After 3 years of long distance relationship, I finally married the love of my life. A little bit about The Perfect Pair Wedding... it is a San Diego based Wedding planning company, we plan & design weddings all over Southern California to bring to life our Perfect Pair's dreams.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we started wedding planning we weren’t sure if we would have any kind of wedding planner or coordinator but we are SO glad we decided to work with Clemence from The Perfect Pair Wedding!! We hired Clemence to be our day-of coordinator and we honestly couldn’t have gotten through the day without her and her wonderful assistant Emily! We spoke on the phone about working together and were immediately excited to work with her. Clemence is so sweet and fun to chat with, but also very straightforward which we knew we needed as we can both be a bit wishy washy when making decisions. In hiring a day-of coordinator, we thought we were getting just that, but really her work began much sooner. Upon hiring her, she sent us documents to help keep track of everything in the months leading up to the wedding so that when we were a month out, she could jump in full swing. Clemence is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to planning and she answered every question we had along the way with confidence and kindness knowing we were learning as we went. When we were unsure about decor, seating charts, you name it, she was happy to jump on a call and walk us through options. On top of everything, she was amazing at helping us stick to our budget - especially when it came to decor!! She is immensely organized and efficient and that was only proved further on the day of the wedding. She communicated with us and our vendors every step of the way so that on the day we were truly worry free. We are eternally grateful to Clemence and her assistant Emily for making our dream wedding come true. And on top of everything, the two of them are just lovely, sweet people. Who could ask for more? We could not recommend working with The Perfect Pair Wedding strongly enough!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Korina went above and beyond for our wedding. I’m very indecisive, and Korina was VERY patient with us during the planning process. She offered helpful suggestions and ideas, but was also open and prioritized the bride and groom’s wants first. Communication was always prompt. Preparing for the wedding felt like brainstorming with a friend as opposed to how intimidating planning a large event can be. During the wedding, Korina was calm and collected, which helped with our own wedding jitters. Even when we thought her duties were over, a decor item was left behind at the venue and Korina made sure it got back to us, even if it meant a drive since we aren’t local to San Diego. Our wedding was a blast and wouldn’t have been possible without Korina and her team! Thank you!

Traveling has taught me the importance of capturing all the important - big and small - moments to look back on years later. I love capturing those truly candid moments. The kind of photos that put you right back in the moment five, ten, fifty years later. I'm a Southern California-based photographer that will travel wherever you want to document your love! I'm constantly exploring in my hiking boots with laid-back couples that want to capture genuine moments about their relationship. When I'm not taking pictures, you can usually find me hanging out with my people, hiking, watching sitcoms, or taking a spontaneous trip.

I have been officially working as a professional wedding planner since 2017. My love of all things weddings and events began at an early age. I worked at a country club in the summers before my freshman and sophomore year of college, I worked on the food and beverage staff which included being a banquet server, and can you guess which was my favorite shift to work, you guessed it, the weddings. Once I got to the point in my life where my friends were starting to get engaged and I was a bridesmaid in their weddings, I found myself taking on extra duties and wanting to be more involved that it hit me, I need to pursue being an event planner.

I couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding day, all thanks to Miranda. No idea was too grand for her; she was dedicated to turning our dreams into reality. Miranda meticulously handled every detail leading up to the event, coordinating with all our vendors and taking charge of logistics, leaving me stress-free on the big day. Not a single detail fell through the cracks, and Miranda's unwavering support was evident throughout. She checked in with me and my husband consistently, ensuring we had everything we needed. What sets her apart is her sweet and kind attitude, which remained intact even in the midst of potential stress. If she ever felt the pressure, you certainly wouldn't know it! Miranda's artistic touch extended to the stunning signage she created for our wedding. It seamlessly matched our colors and aesthetic, and we were overjoyed with the results. I can't recommend Miranda highly enough – she is the perfect person to transform your wedding dreams into a breathtaking reality.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding at the Carlsbad Windmill was our dream day!! The Carlsbad Windmill by Wedgewood team made our entire wedding planning process so enjoyable and simple. Every interaction with the planning team we were greeted with helpful (and prompt) answers to any of our questions. We loved Wedgewood because we were given the skeleton of the planning process and then we could add as little or as much as we wanted to make the day feel more special and unique to us. We had a lot of flexibility with adding anything extra we wanted. When we had a little hiccup with one of our outside vendors on the day of the wedding, our coordinator and assistant remained calm and helped take care of any issues. Our coordinator Brianna, was amazing and so helpful since the first day we met her. She remembered all of the little details we told we wanted to include in our wedding day, and she made our wedding decor and set up look just as we had dreamed. Specific to the Windmill venue itself, the location is 10/10! We had our rehearsal on at a local restaurant. For the wedding day, the bridal suite is provided at the attached Carlsbad by the Sea hotel, grooms suite is inside the Windmill venue, the ceremony space and reception space are in the same building inside the Windmill. We did our First Look at the Carlsbad Bluffs overlooking the ocean (3 minute drive from venue). And we even had an after party 12am-2am at the downstairs bar at the Windmill Food Hall. Can’t forget to mention the beautiful Carlsbad Flower Fields directly across the street! Everything was close by and convenient for all of our guests. The Windmill itself is a beautiful and unique venue. The ceremony space is breathtakingly beautiful (I cried the first time I saw it). Overall I can not say enough good things about The Carlsbad Windmill venue and their team. So happy we got married there!

Brandon & the Motel Cinema team are simply the best of the best! Having a videographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding - they captured the most special day of our lives so perfectly & we couldn’t be more grateful! The video is so natural and flows seamlessly. From the music throughout the video, to the super 8 footage & editing skills..it is all such a vibe!! In all, motel cinema brought such a good energy to our wedding and we’re so fun to work with! We will cherish this video for the rest of our lives! Truly so much talent, cannot recommend motel cinema enough!! 3

Stephanie Wooding (Owner / Lead Planner) When it comes to planning your event, it’s really about how that person (or team) embraces and uses that job experience in a resourceful and creative way. I’m a practical, organized, creative, resourceful, and resilient, “jeans and t-shirt” type chick. Well, the San Diego part of me is anyway. The LA in me is a driven, problem-solving, A-type, “take no guff” lady boss, that gets the job done on time, and within a realistic budget.

Stephanie is a life saving wedding fairy. We chose a venue that was a public park and 100% raw space. We put in a ton of work to build a beautiful wedding, but there is no way we could have executed it without Stephanie. She considers every single detail to ensure day of is as smooth as possible. We felt so taken care of during the planning process. About a month before the wedding, she really kicked into gear and was available night and day for any question and really made us feel at ease. Day of she was a dream to work with. Did everything go according to plan? No, but we really didn’t’ notice because Stephanie’s whole goal was to ensure we had the “best day ever” and we totally did. She went above and beyond to ensure that we were happy. She even drove our uhaul back to our house at the end of the night. We know that our wedding was a bit of a challenge to say the least, and we can be a little detail focused- a huge thank you to Stephanie for tackling it with such grace. We would 100% recommend Stephanie.

Salt and Sol Studios captures life's authentic moments, blending creativity with heartfelt storytelling. My passion lies in immortalizing memories, crafting images that resonate with emotion and timeless beauty.

We couldn't have had a better photographer than Adrianna. She absolutely nailed it with our wedding photos! We don't take ourselves too seriously and wanted our wedding pictures to reflect that, and she didn't disappoint. Our wedding teasers definitely felt like us rather than being super posed and dressed up versions of ourselves. All the photos felt like they captured exactly who we are as a couple. Not only did Adrianna take amazing photos, but she was like our personal wedding hero, making sure everything ran smooth. Our reception was a little chaotic since it was raining, and she took all our stress away with her thoughtful ideas. We thought she was reading our minds because everytime we were stressed or overwhelmed, she backed us up and helped us sneak out to take breaks. If we even mentioned something we weren't fans of, it was taken care of quickly and quietly. She seriously saved our butts more times than we could count. Throughout the whole day she was thoughtful, intuitive, non-judgmental, and so nice. We may have just met her on thr wedding day, but we were treated like she'd known us forever. We were worried it'd be weird to have someone following us around with a camera who we didn't know to well and it was the exact opposite with her! Long story short, if you want someone who's not just going take your photos but also make your wedding day feel like a breeze, Adrianna is your person.

We are Hayes and Bree, your San Diego wedding photo and video duo! In 2020, we met online, but were stunned that both of us had been capturing weddings through photography and videography separately for years! After getting married, we combined our businesses to create one where we not only get to continue doing what we love, but get to do it together. Whether it's a local wedding in San Diego or traveling to gorgeous spots like the European countryside, we would love for you to come along for the journey!

Bree is absolutely the sweetest woman ever and an incredibly talented photographer! It’s hard for me to know where to start! I was looking for a light and airy, timeless photography style and Bree totally emulates that! From the beginning, Bree was so accommodating and helpful. She sent over a welcome packet with tips to make your shoot look the best possible including outfit suggestions. She also provided resources about wedding planning and vendor selection! She truly goes above and beyond to make wedding planning and your wedding day flawless! We had our first shoot with her for our engagement session in winter 2019 in Kent, OH! I was excited to be in front of the camera but my fiance (now hubs) was not as excited (tip: ALWAYS do an engagement shoot for this reason.) After about the first 20 minutes into the shoot my fiance loosened up and began feeling more and more comfortable and I credit that all to Bree. She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and her cueing is perfection. She turned around our engagement photos in a timely manner and they were BEAUTIFUL. Leading up to the wedding Bree was more than a photographer! She helped listen to some of my wedding stresses and give some advice, especially with COVID happening halfway through my wedding planning. She was flexible with all the changing situations and always reassured us that she would do everything in her power to make our wedding day perfect and she delivered! After filling out my pre-wedding shot list packet about a couple weeks before the wedding, Bree and her assistant arrived on time and ready to go! They were very organized and knew exactly how to take charge of the group. She flawlessly wrangled my hubs and his groomsmen for photos, directed ALL of my family quickly through family formal photos, and captured every important moment of our evening. Even my bridesmaids were saying how sweet she was for days after my wedding! Bree was amazing and sent over a few sneak peek photos in a couple days and they are GORGEOUS! It makes us so beyond excited to get all of our photos back. My husband and I 110% recommend Bree as your weddings/engagement/senior portrait/family photos or anything-you’d-ever-need photographer! I hope to have another reason to work with her in the future!

INQUIRE ON MY WEBSITE! I've been doing this for 8 years now, & it really does get better with time. There are countless memories of laughter, holding back tears (mostly happy ones), surprises, & moments that my heart didn't see coming. The opportunity to meet couples that become friends is something I will always feel blessed to have. I love building that connection as much as possible! You two together is your own little piece of art. At least that’s how I see it! So with that being said, I don’t want to try & copy someone else’s art. How you interact together should be captured purely.

I'm so grateful I found Emma and her team on Zola. In addition to my wedding, I also had her shoot a boudoir shoot and that was the first time I met her. Since that was totally out of my comfort zone, I was nervous but she immediately made me feel at ease and comfortable. The photos came out great and my husband loved the gift. For my actual wedding, Emma enlisted Solveig and second shooter Shiloh, who were also fantastic. Even though I barely knew them, they jumped right in and everything was so calm and organized. I even got my sneak peeks within a week and a half! I can't wait to see how they captured the rest of my big day. I would definitely refer Emma and her team to anyone looking!

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!

Hi, I'm Joni! I've been photographing couples for over 10 years now and I just can't seem to get enough of it! My warm, bubbly personality always seems to keep EVERYONE in good spirits throughout the wedding day! I’m a calming force when things start to get stressful and ready to keep the energy up to dance the night away together! Sometimes wedding days don't go exactly as planned. I’m extremely flexible and prepared to provide expert, judgment-free guidance to help you pivot and get right back to having the time of your life!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Joni. She was masterful in her ability to capture all of the small details, manage many crazy family members, and produce the most stunning photos of our special day. I picked Joni because someone told me before booking a photographer to make sure that you see photos of hidden moments in their portfolio, not just the family portraits. Well, she went above and beyond on this! She captured such beautiful moments... like the mother of the bride and groom holding hands during the ceremony! She was also incredibly patient and managed the family photos like a PRO! We got through so many photos in no time at all! Joni worked very well with our videographers too! We keep comparing our friends' wedding photos and being amazed at the quality of Joni's work. She captured such stunning photographs in beautiful vivid and real coloring - none of the washed out or weirdly edited photos I see from other wedding photographers. Truly just perfect and beautiful photos. Thank you, Joni!

Levant Lane

Chula Vista, CA
  • Florist

Levant Lane a full service floral design studio serving weddings and events of all sizes. 
 We specialize in creating meaningful floral designs to reflect your story. Paola’s non-traditional style stems from her love for nature, art, and curiosity. At Levant Lane, we look to nature for inspiration — creating loose, organic designs that mimic how they would be found in the wild. We tend to have a more minimal approach, giving each bloom an opportunity to shine. We obsess over details - colors, styling, the venue, the season, and most importantly, the vision + story of our clients.

We used Levant Lane for our wedding ceremony at Sunset Cliffs and our dinner at Coasterra and we can say without any doubt that Paola and her team were perfect for everything we wanted/needed out of florals for our big day! From the professionalism, to the adaptability (had to change plans somewhat in the last few weeks), to the execution of everything, they simply exceeded expectations in all areas. If you are looking for a florist for your wedding or event, we highly recommend Levant Lane and Paola. Their work and pieces are beautiful/flawless and they will really go out of their way to meet the vision that you have for your wedding day. They won't disappoint!

La Jolla Woman’s Club is located in the heart of La Jolla Village, one block from the ocean. With its exquisite private gardens, historic Irving Gill building and ocean view, the club is a magical setting for any special occasion. The club hosts private events such as weddings, non-profit fundraisers, receptions, lectures, dinners, holiday parties, celebrations of life, retreats and educational meetings.

My husband and I got married here in November 2023 and it was a truly incredible experience. I feel like the La Jolla Women’s club is a hidden gem. I had a lot of family and friends coming from out of town and La Jolla is a great part of San Diego for them to come to and stay for the weekend. The venue is close to everything and has a beautiful charm. It is simple and elegant, allowing us to dress it up as we wanted. Our photographer was able to get some incredible photos because the venue has so many nooks and crannies with slightly different feels. The front lawn in particular, has a gorgeous tree (we got married in front of it) and a beautiful fountain in the other end. There are courtyards on either aide of the main building and then the dance floor/dinning room is in the main building. One of the things that is so great about it is that your guests can come to one venue and experience the whole wedding event, just moving around the venue. Also we had a lot of choice about where things happened (the ceremony in front of the tree and our cocktail hour in a specific courtyard). We chose to do dinner inside, but outside could have been an option. Erin, the Events Manager is great to work with! Communicative and provided us solid recommendations for other vendors. I would love to see other people I know get married here!

The gentle and magnificent presence of Mother Nature surrounds this home that love built.

As a wedding planner, I often come across venues and vendors that do not offer full service packages but at the Victoria Ranch, you are getting that and much more. The venue itself is so intimate and super cute, but also offers the flexibility to style it in a different way if you prefer. Also, having the option to add catering by chef, Joanne was amazing as well as her coordinating all rentals for the property too.

He never made me feel like I was too detail-oriented or particular, and I can definitely be overly-detailed at times! haha. He is truly committed to pleasing his clients. Not only that, but the post wedding experience of designing the layout of my wedding book has been fun instead of what could have been confusing and overwhelming. He has extreme patience and helped me create the layout for my very extensive wedding album, as well assisted in communication with an awesome leather craftsman company to design the custom cover. I feel like the wedding book is sometimes a thing that couples don’t get to, and then it never gets done, so the ease of that process made me so happy I went with John. Now my family and I will be able to cherish the wedding photos in one beautiful album to display at our house.

Miranda and Trevor are the ultimate wedding dream team, and they make you feel like one of their friends! We booked them for an engagement shoot and our wedding, which I highly recommend doing to help get you and your fiance comfortable with them and in front of the camera. At the engagement shoot, my fiance and I were a little nervous as we'd never done professional photos before, but Miranda and Trevor made us feel so at ease, and the photos look absolutely phenomenal. Miranda was also a huge help with developing my timeline -- I had a number of requests and was stressed about how quick the day would go especially with an early sunset time, but she helped me manage the schedule beautifully so on the day, we actually ended up having a little bit of extra time and never felt rushed!

Whitney was an ABSOLUTE DREAM to have us our florist! From our first phone call, I felt like I was talking more to a friend than having a meeting with a wedding vendor. After we first spoke, she had me send her some inspiration photos. From that, she put together the most beautiful mood board for our wedding! I ended up using it for every design aspect of our day. The flowers she put together were absolutely phenomenal. She completely understood my vision, but at the same time, she created something more beautiful than I could have imagined!

Established in 1986. Buckboard Catering and Events was established in May of 1986 and is one of the oldest catering companies in San Diego. The business has expanded to include a full range of farm-to-fork locally sourced food options to extensive culinary catering for any occasion or experience. A complete inventory of rental items for any size event is also available.

We could not have been happier with the service we received from Buckboard as the catering provider for our wedding. Right from the initial meeting Ashley, (Buckboard’s sales manager) gave us a personalized introduction and very friendly tasting. It was clear from this initial interaction that she cared more about our experience and less about just becoming one of their customers. The food was/is absolutely delicious. Every single item was cooked perfectly, and it was clear from the initial tasting that their chefs and cooks take genuine pride in cooking high quality meals that do not come off as “mass produced” like a number of other caterers in the area. We have lost count of the number of guests who told us during and after the meal that it was by far the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding, and this is reflective of the company as a whole. Ashley and JP (the Chief Operating Officer) were both present during the planning process, and worked with us directly to determine a menu that would be both wonderful for the guests as well as within our budget. When dietary restrictions were presented, Ashley and her team made the accommodations easy and care free, and provided options that were also delicious. She and her staff were so friendly and professional on the day-of that a number of guests went out of their way to comment on the crew. We cannot rave enough about the services we received from Buckboard Catering. To make matters better they also operate a full-time restaurant in El Cajon, which we plan on frequenting regularly when visiting San Diego. For prospective couples planning a wedding, choosing Buckboard as your caterer will not only put your mind at ease knowing the quality of service you will be receiving, but you and your guests will be absolutely thrilled with the meal you get to enjoy.

My husband and I looked at many venues in San Diego and also Temecula, where we got engaged, but this one was by far the most gorgeous and accommodating. When we first walked into the country club i looked at my husband and said “we can’t afford this place”, because it’s that’s gorgeous! We still met with Chelsi and she pin pointed everything we wanted and didn’t want and put us WAY under budget! Also did I mention this place includes food, flowers, cake and linens all in the price!!! I can’t begin to tell you how amazing our flowers and cake were! I would love to post pictures because there ladies really went above and beyond . All of our guest literally said it was the best wedding they have ever been too and the food was so good they wanted to lick their plates!!! Also happy hour the ahi poke tacos people can not stop talking about them!! Thank you lomas Santa Fe country club for creating the most beautiful day for my husband and I and also thank you for hiring the most amazing women to represent you!! Chelsi we love you forever!!

Nicole is an amazing photographer. She has great energy, is easy to be around, and reliable. Her love for Jesus flows through her work and how she treats her clients. She's a hard worker and does her best to make the experience great. She sent us a few previews the night of the wedding, and the full gallery came 3 weeks after our wedding, which was such a blessing to not have to wait too long. I highly recommend Nicole!

I'm thrilled you're here and planning one of the biggest days of your lives! I've had the privilege of capturing weddings at some of the most beautiful venues San Diego has to offer. Whether you're planning your big day at a beach resort, a winery, or even the zoo, you can count on me to capture both stunning portraits and raw candid moments of you and your loved ones on your wedding day. My style uses natural light and vivid colors, while keeping skin tones rich and true to life. I also love to emphasize storytelling with a few black and whites for an overall feel that is magically timeless yet still modern.

I don’t even know where to begin to start singing Alyssa’s praises other than to say, hire her immediately if not sooner! My partner and I got married at Stone Brewing Liberty Station in May 2023, and Alyssa captured the day (and more) so beautifully and in a way that truly captured us. We looked through a lot of photographers recommended by our venue and others, and none of their work really stood out to us until we saw Alyssa’s photos. Her photography is truly stunning and exudes warmth and depth. We wanted someone who could capture us, not make things feel overly forced, and emphasize candid moments. Alyssa did that and more. From the moment we reached out to her to the end of the evening at our wedding, she was a true gem to work with. We even ended up doing an engagement session with her, as it was part of her package, and an opportunity to meet. She took time to get to know us, helped make sure we felt comfortable, thought through timelines with our other vendors, made wonderful suggestions that helped make the photos (and day) even more memorable, and truly was all around such a joy to work with. Lastly, multiple friends and family members came up to us throughout our wedding and said how they could truly feel so much love and warmth in the air. Alyssa’s photos captured that feeling for a lifetime.

OMG I cannot express the gratitude and the perfection of the photos and our experience with Pol! He is one of a kind as a photographer and loved loved loved our photos. We took both our engagement photos, rehearsal photos, wedding photos and did our videography with him! When we first meet Pol, he took 2 hours of his time to go through the process with us, show us his photos, ask about who we were and how we met, and also gave us a custom quote. Our engagement session was so much fun and had a blast just being able to enjoy me and my now husband( then fiancé). We expressed to Pol during our engagement photos that we were looking for a videographer and was asking if he had any recommendations. He stated that he was doing a little videography at the time and would consider bringing it to us. He let us know that he would make it available to us and we could not be more grateful. On the day of our wedding, he was timely, help us with our nerves, and gave us direction when posing. I have a signature pose, but he help me switch it up and all the photos came out gorgeous. He is so worth every penny we spent, love his personality, and he is worth it. We also received all of our photos within a week of the event, which is amazing! Please do not hesitate when booking him! Thank you Pol for everything and we definitely will use you for family photos in the future!
