JJ was absolutely amazing and one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the very beginning, he was incredibly attentive and helpful throughout the entire planning process. He didn't just help with music, he offered valuable advice for wedding planning and even shared thoughtful insights about married life that meant so much to us! On the wedding day, he completely exceeded our expectations. The dance floor was packed all night long, and he played the perfect mix of music that kept everyone having fun from start to finish. He truly knew how to read the crowd and keep the energy up. What really sets JJ apart is how much he genuinely cares about his couples. When I accidentally spilled something on my wedding dress, he was the very first person there with club soda, helping me get the stain out! If you're looking for a DJ who goes above and beyond, keeps the party going, and truly cares about making your day special, I couldn't recommend JJ enough!

We hired Weddings Unlimited for 3 services: DJ, dance floor, and photobooth. My husband and I really loved the videos of the dance floor that we had seen online! We got the 14x14 dance floor which was beautiful! My only concern was that the dance floor only lit up blue instead of multi-colored. It was still gorgeous and my guests loved it, but I noticed later that it wasn't as colorful as expected. Our photobooth was beautiful and our attendant was very sweet to our guests and us as a couple. They made sure we had a chance to use the photobooth before the end of the night! Our DJ, James, was very sweet as well. We didn't meet him until a week before the wedding but he was a great DJ and acclimated well to some last-minute changes. Lastly, our account manager, MacKenzie, was super super helpful and sweet! She always responded to text messages and had two meetings with me prior to the wedding to confirm details. MacKenzie was able to go through the app, VIBO, to help us with our song selection and was great when we needed help!

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Alief, TX

Hi, I'm Emily - a journalism major drop-out turned wedding photographer that loves all things editorial and story telling. Think back to any impactful photo you've seen in the media, the key to remembering it is that it made you *feel* something, and that's what I strive to bring forward in the wedding photography industry.

Our day truly wouldn’t have been the same without this team. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond — not just capturing the big moments, but all the little ones we’ll treasure forever. Their personality was top notch: fun, genuine, and easy to be around, yet confident enough to keep everything on track without ever feeling forced. They didn’t just document the day, they became part of it. They made our families comfortable, brought laughter when we needed it, and gave us peace of mind knowing every memory was in the right hands. The photos speak for themselves, but the experience of having them by our side is what really made the difference. If you want a team that delivers more than beautiful pictures — a team that brings energy, joy, and heart to your day — look no further. Best decision we made.

A.M. Productions

  • DJ
  • 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.

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!

As the maid of honor, I felt a lot of pressure to help everything go smoothly. This team honestly made my job easier. They were calm, professional, and kept things moving in such a natural way. The photos of my speech had me tearing up all over again. The video included so many little details, like me adjusting the bride’s veil, which meant the world to me. They respected everyone’s space but still caught the best angles. I couldn’t believe how beautifully everything was put together. The bride was so happy, and that’s all I wanted.

Since 2017, I've been dedicated to enhancing natural beauty with a gentle touch, bringing out each client's unique radiance. As a solo artist, I focus on creating a personalized, calm experience for each bride, so while I can’t accommodate large bridal parties, I’m here to ensure that you feel both beautiful and serene as you prepare to walk down the aisle. Specializing in soft glam, I believe in enhancing—not masking—your natural beauty, whether you desire a subtle glow or a soft full glam look. Every bride deserves to feel her most confident, no matter their skin type or concerns.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jackie was hands down the sweetest lady to work with! She is so talented at what she does. The BEST MU artist. My group of girls were definitely a hand full to work with (as a bride, I let them choose to pay for their own H&MU if they wished to have it done, and a few changed their minds wanting both services done, and Jackie accommodated each girl without hesitation and made a new timeline for us). I was going insane, but she made working with her run so smoothly it put my mind at ease. Jackie is very professional, well mannered, shows up on time, and gives you EXACTLY the look you are wanting. She seriously shows up for all her clients, even if it means waking up at the crack of dawn to glam an event and then drive hours to come and glam you (the bride and your party), she shows up!! I couldn’t be happier to have chosen Jackie as our MU artist. Definitely recommend hiring her for your next MU needs!!

My experience with this venue was absolutely amazing. My fiancé and I were not high maintenance or detail oriented for our wedding. We wanted the a simple nice wedding that we did not have to put a lot of work in and this place was perfect! High quality venue and vendors!! The venue itself was so beautiful, you barely have to decorate it. The vendors are all with the venue, and our amazing planner Sheilah W was awesome! She gets everything prepared and deals with contacting all the vendors and putting everyone on the same page. I was so shocked the packages even included stationeries (save the dates & invites) ! Vendors included flowers, photographer, catering, DJ, day of coordinator, cake/desserts, all inclusive bar. I am so glad we chose to have our wedding here! When I tell people I barely did anything to plan this wedding.. I mean it. In a good way because it was such a stress free planing process for us! It was such a great day. Simple and beautiful

My Make-Up journey started 8 years ago when my moms client asked me to do makeup for her wedding. Since I always did mine she figured I could do her’s and that was a No. I had never done anyone but myself. After a little convincing I did 3 Foundation Matches on her to make sure I had the right color. 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 .

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.

Let me first say that when I started planning my vow renewal a year ago, I prayed for God to send me the right vendors to help bring my vision to life. That's when my husband came across DJ Chizz, and from that moment on, everything fell into place. DJ Chizz was absolutely phenomenal. His professionalism was unmatched, and there is honestly nothing we would have changed about his service. Everything we hoped for, he delivered and then some. Here we are almost two weeks later, and our guests are still complimenting him and talking about what an amazing job he did. We have lived in four different states, and our guests traveled from all over the country to celebrate with us. We had everyone from babies to guests nearly 90 years old, and somehow he managed to keep the entire crowd engaged and entertained all night long. DJ Chizz took every request I had and executed it in such a creative, thoughtful, and memorable way. He truly helped make our vow renewal everything we dreamed it would be. I would absolutely book him again and recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ who genuinely cares about creating an unforgettable experience.

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...

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."

Okay, here is the bottom line: you want Manny to be your photographer. Scratch that, you NEED him. He is the absolute best. He is one of the most genuine people you will ever meet. He made us feel so special on our day and took THE best pictures ever. The entire process was seamless from the first time we contacted him, to filling out the questionnaire to the day of the wedding. He is amazing, and I can assure you that you will not be disappointed if you decide to book him as your photographer. Trust me, snatch him up while you can. Thank me later.

Katy, Texas, is home to the service of DJ Charlie Entertainment, a company that specializes in all types of weddings and offers excellent add-ons! DJ Charlie is Bilingual in English and Spanish, with over 10 years of experience in weddings! DJ Charlie is also well-versed in all genres and takes pride in getting every guest onto the dance floor to celebrate the newlyweds.

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.

With Kaity Campbell Events, you will have a truly luxurious customer experience from the moment you sign your contract all the way up to your event day, and even beyond. We believe that every wedding should be a reflection of your unique love story, and we are here to ensure that every detail is perfectly tailored to your desires. Our passion for creating unforgettable experiences, combined with our industry expertise, allows us to curate a seamless and stress-free wedding day that exceeds your expectations. Being able to create an event that is truly yours, and has all the elements you care about, is why I started doing what I do.

Kaity did a great job, especially considering all the uncertainty of bad weather (my ceremony was outdoors) we had to all deal with. She always had an upbeat and positive attitude the whole time, which I know can be very difficult to do around my family. She definitely would just roll with all the punches to keep us on track. I was anxious the entire day, but Kaity reassured me that she had everything under control and I knew I could trust her. She even went out of her way to get me and my husband little care packages on the day of, with inspiring notes. The only hiccups I actually noticed was with announcements and speeches, because the volume and echo was not great, so people didn't know when things were actually happening, so I wish we could've told the DJ sooner to fix the issue. We had also wanted to have our dinners boxed up, because my husband and I were both too anxious and excited to really eat, so our food ended up being thrown away, plus we didn't receive the top tier of our wedding cake to save for the tradition thing (but my guess is because they served it all to the guests). Unfortunately, at the end of the night, we were super rushed to get everything out of the building, because of the time and the pouring rain- I was running around barefoot in my dress while my husband was passed out in the car, and I was one of the few trying to get everything packed and cleaned up. However, Kaity and her husband really helped us out by collecting all the left items and holding onto them for us until the next day. She kept in contact, since at least a month beforehand, to make sure we had everything in order and sent her all the vendor contacts , so she could be included with all the day-of plans. She really did go above and beyond to make sure I had the best day possible, and I really appreciated that from her. I would definitely hire her again.
