We had the absolute pleasure of having DJ Carl at our wedding, and he was nothing short of excellent. From start to finish, he was professional, attentive, and completely in tune with what we wanted. He took the time to understand our vision and made sure the music reflected the energy and vibe we were going for. He truly went above and beyond to attend to all our needs, keeping the party going and our guests on the dance floor all night. We would definitely hire him again for future events and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a rad DJ!

I would definitely recommend my sugar wishes especially if you have a food sensitivity. Connie is very easy to work with and a great experience overall. I ended up having two complimentary Cake tastings with her, at the first meeting I expressed interest in two flavors that she did not have prepared gluten-free at the time So we did a second tasting and she made them GF I also brought some of my floral with me and we were able to confirm the floral display for the cake, which took a lot of stress off me the day of my wedding since I did not have to worry about my wedding cake.

  • Starts at $1,600
  • Serves Alief, TX

A.M. Productions is the only Houston Wedding DJ & Entertainment company that provides talented DJs with a boutique style approach for couples who want a packed dance floor and a memorable wedding, in the era of cheesy wedding djs. We aren’t your average wedding DJ. We’re passionate, innovative and unique professional entertainers. If you want to learn more about how we can make your wedding Easy, Stress-Free and Memorable, call or email us.

Don't think twice - book A.M. Productions for your wedding now!! We knew how crucial it was to book the right DJ & entertainment to deliver the energy we wanted for our wedding and they EXCEEDED our expectations. We got married in April 2025 and had DJ Forum (Alex) mixing and emceeing. Aaron (the owner) also graciously came through to ensure a smooth event. We came to learn about A.M. through a recommendation from our wedding planner. It was also validating to later see them on our venue's (The Peach Orchard) preferred vendor list! During consultation, we were drawn to their extensive services/add-ons, quality of work, and competitive pricing. We selected their Super Star package (most popular) and chose subwoofers and advanced uplighting. We also added on their photo booth which was exactly what we needed - a backdrop, self-service, no props, digital gallery, present the entire wedding, and the convenience of having it handled by the same team. Leading up to our wedding day, the A.M. production team were well-organized and provide you with a wealth of tips, resources, and instructions. We filled out their comprehensive "Wedding DJ Planner" sheet that helps them prepare and provided them playlists of 10-15 songs each for cocktail hour, dinner service, and dance floor (we used Spotify) to help inspire the mood/energy we were looking for. The wedding day was FLAWLESS! They went above and beyond, surprising us with moving heads AND a CO2 gun which was a crowd favorite. DJ Forum read the crowd amazingly and his mixes were fire. Our guests spoke very highly of them - with some intending to book A.M. for their own weddings in the future! For a complete package of professional lighting, sound, photobooth, energy, service, and more - book A.M. productions with confidence!! THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts on making our special day a moment to forever look back on with smiles all around!

Could not recommend more! I had such a hard time trying to find a makeup and hair team that was comfortable working with all hair types and skin tones. I had a diverse bridal party and really wanted to make sure noone was left out when it came to hair & makeup. So many teams say they work on all different skin types but then have little to no diversity on their portfolio, but LBA team showcased everything I wanted! From the first inquiry I sent, the team was super responsive and very easy to work with. I also want to shoutout Raeven who worked on my makeup and Maranda who did my hair, both were so kind and professional. I absolutely loved the bridal trial we did, and on the day of my wedding they made sure to incorporate the changes I wanted and I couldn’t be happier with how my look turned out! I will also say my bridal party was very happy with their hair & makeup too! Specially I feel like they worked so well with my and all my bridesmaids skin & hair and personally I’ve never had a foundation match so well to my skin tone! They were even able to do a curly style on my sister who wanted to keep her hair natural! My makeup stayed all night even after dancing and my hair was so beautiful and didn’t feel heavy even with the extensions. So thankful I booked with LBA team, I couldn’t recommend them more!!!

Poppin’ Peonies Collective creates design-forward wedding florals for couples who want the planning process to feel clear, supported, and thoughtfully guided. We work with couples who value artistry but don’t want to manage every detail — couples who want to feel confident in their decisions without second-guessing how everything will come together. Many of our clients come to us feeling overwhelmed by inspiration overload, unsure how to translate ideas into something cohesive, or worried that what they see in planning won’t match what they experience on the wedding day. Our role is to remove that uncertainty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where to even begin when it comes to my absolute love and adoration for all things Poppin’ Peonies, but most of all my complete love for BRE!!! From the beginning my 3 non negotiables for our wedding were FOOD,FLOWERS, & PHOTOS. And when I tell you Bre delivered and exceeded my expectations I am not lying. I booked with Bre after having a weird gut feeling with a previous wedding floral designer. The energy was off and I didn’t feel heard with the other designer but after my initial consultation call with Bre, I not only felt heard I felt as if I was talking to a friend. Our first call was one hour and it felt like 10 minutes. She understood the sentimental importance of florals for me personally and gave honest insight on design and cohesion. She didn’t dismiss what I thought I wanted. Instead she gave BETTER and more realistic options of availability during the time of year we were getting married (JULY in VA in no joke… LOL) I not only felt heard but increasingly validated by Bre and all nerves about the design of the day melted away. Seeing my vision come to life with her collaboration & expertise was truly breathtaking and a part of our wedding that people but mostly myself will never forget. Breanne’s organization, diligence, and most of all communication was monumental during this process but I completely trusted her. Looking at our florals and design for our wedding it is something truly timeless but also unique and wild at the time. It is EXACTLY what I wanted and turned out better than imagined. All the florals I had saved and envisioned over the years from bridal magazines, Pinterest, and even mine and my late mother’s favorite florals were incorporated into our special day. On a personal note, Bre was so diligent and intentional when it came to my late Mothers “ In Loving Memory of” chair during our ceremony ,that is easily one of the most sentimental moments of our wedding. For that alone, I am eternally grateful. Bottom line, you absolutely cannot go wrong with booking with Poppin Peonies and Bre. In any way shape or form it will be the best decision and most seamless decision of your wedding journey. I am so fortunate to not only have photos and memories to look back on with these florals but most of all a true friendship with Bre.

After that wedding I began to take classes because I knew if I wanted to be a great artist I would have to learn the skill and understand the business. Taking the degree in Marketing that I had earned from Texas Southern University and the Master’s in Business Administration i poured it all in to my new established business .

We got married in April here and it was amazing! The venue is beautiful and there is a lot of space. My planner, Madison, was very helpful during the process and would answer any questions I had. Our coordinators Janeen and Jackie were awesome! They helped make the day flow perfectly and if we needed anything they were on top of it! The DJ was great as well and was included in the package. The only compliant I have was that they ran out of food even though less people showed up then in our final guest count. We got the steak option and it was delicious but the portions they gave out were small and they somehow still ran out...

Miriam took our engagement photos and wedding pictures. She was so fantastic. I (Bride) was super nervous about what photographer to choose for our wedding because I’m such a control freak, but we also didn’t want to spend our entire budget on a photographer. We booked her before Covid had ever hit and she still made it work and did a great job. The day of our wedding was hectic and emotional (like most) and her and her helper were so calm and collected and just got everything done. They were so professional and knew exactly what to do, what to tell people, and how to position everyone. My whole family kept complimenting how great they were. Afterwards she sent us a few sneak peeks super quick, which we were very grateful for, and when we got all of our pictures she asked if there were any changes needed or any other help etc... Miriam was VERY attentive to all of our needs. I recommend her to every bride that asks. And, of course, the pictures are GORGEOUS. We just cried and cried when we saw them. We still do.

Hey there! I'm Manny, based in Houston, TX. Since 2020, I've been capturing authentic moments—those real, raw, joyful times that make your wedding day uniquely yours. From slipping into your wedding dress to laughing with your best friend and dancing all night, I'll be your #1 sidekick with a camera. I believe love is colorful, messy, full of electric laughter, stolen kisses, and maybe a cheeky butt grab or two. If that sounds like you, I’m your photographer. Let’s connect and start planning your forever and always. At Manuel Ayala Photography, we believe "Y’all means All."

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Manny was probably the best decision we could've made for our wedding day. We happened to snag a free engagement photoshoot from him while he was traveling in our area, and we didn't expect to book him for our wedding because he lived out of state, so we assumed that flying him out would be too expensive. However, when we were looking for DC-based photographers, we weren't finding anyone who had the bright, joyful style that we saw in Manny's photos, and all the local photographers were SO expensive anyway. So, we decided to reach out to Manny to see if we could work something out, and thank goodness we did!! Manny helped create a custom package that worked within our budget, and then he exceeded all of his promises anyway. He delivered more photos than promised, faster than promised. The night of our wedding, he had posted a cute informal video compilation on his Instagram (we hadn't purchased videography). He had sneak peeks ready ahead of schedule, and there were so many! He surprised us with a second shooter (a friend of his who is also a wedding photographer), polaroids, and even some drone photography of our venue. Best of all, the photos were absolutely beautiful. They captured every important moment, and everything looked just as beautiful and joyful as they felt on that day. The editing was flattering without being overdone. For example, my wife and I both had slightly different shades of white outfits--mine being ivory and hers being pure white--and I can tell from the guest photos that that didn't photograph well, with the bright August sun creating a blue light effect on the pure white outfit. But, Manny obviously took the time to edit every photo painstakingly, because his photos still look perfect. We cherish every one of them and have looked at them again and again. My wife's parents (who are very particular) were so impressed with the photos that they've also considered booking him for future anniversary shoots. I think the most important thing I can say about Manny is that he obviously loves his job. With the kind of happiness that he radiates and the way he goes above and beyond without being asked, you can just see that this is more than work to him. He loves to celebrate love. If you've taken the time to read this review, please go ahead and book with Manny. I promise you won't regret it!

We absolutely ADORE Carlos Ramirez and his Photo Booth Assistant, Sofia! It was sheer luck that we found him, and he was absolutely perfect in every way. Carlos made contact with us regularly, walked us through how to use the Vibo app, worked with our venue coordinators at Crystal Ballroom at the Rice (Alexis Kent), worked with our planners at Whimsical Creative (Jen Molina), had a week-of call to finalize details and asked us all the right questions, listened to all our needs, and gave great suggestions for things that made our night special that never would have even occurred to us! Oh… and the lighting he provided in the ballroom was spectacular! Our venue and planner are even adding him to their preferred vendor list, which makes me so happy to know. I really can’t praise Carlos and Sofia enough! They read the crowd with perfect accuracy. The dance floor was never empty, and the photo booth was in constant use. Our guests had an absolute blast! Carlos is not only a great artist but now a new friend. If you’re lucky enough to see this post and want more detailed feedback, please DM me on Facebook and put - DJ CHARLIE ENTERTAINMENT in the first line so I’ll notice it.

I had a wonderful experience working with Velura Events for my wedding. Their communication style was straightforward, timely and very clear throughout the entire planning process. The Velura team was highly organized, understanding of our needs, and dedicated to ensuring our special day went off without a hitch. When some unexpected issues arose with my family during the event, Rincy and her team stayed calm under pressure and helped navigate the next steps seamlessly.
