Our experience having our wedding at Big Bear Mountain Resort was absolutely amazing!! From the planning to the venue to the staff to the food, everything was fabulous. Here is the breakdown of our experience: Planning Process: Working with Elizabeth, the BBMR coordinator, made planning so much easier. She was super responsive - always quick to reply to emails or texts - and really helped me think of details and questions I might have forgotten on my own. She kept everything organized and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks, which made the day feel completely stress-free. The Venue: The locations we used were beautiful and worked really well for our wedding. Ceremony (Top of Chair 2): Taking the chairlift up to the ceremony was a fun experience that our guests really enjoyed. The ceremony site has a gorgeous view of Big Bear Lake and is surrounded by trees. The wooden arch they built was a nice touch. For ADA guests who couldn’t take the chairlift, BBMR can drive them up, which was great. Cocktail Hour (Hog on the Rocks): The cocktail hour deck had amazing views of the San Jacinto mountains - it felt like we were on top of the world. Even though it’s up on the mountain, we had an open bar and a tasty charcuterie board for everyone to enjoy (I’m pretty sure you could choose to do hors d’oeuvres up there too, but we didn’t personally choose that). Reception (The Meadows): The reception area at the base of the mountain was cozy and inviting, with string lights, fresh mountain air, and a roaring fire. It was a great space for everyone to relax and have fun. The Staff: The staff were fantastic. Guests commented multiple times on how friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful they were, and how they really helped make the day run smoothly. The Food: The food was really good - definitely better than what you might expect at a mountain venue. We went with the Timber Ridge menu (salad, tri-tip, garlic-roasted chicken, vegetables, and thyme-roasted potatoes), and it was all delicious. They were also flexible with dietary restrictions, which was helpful for some of our guests. The Price: After looking at a bunch of other venues, I felt like BBMR was the best value for the quality of the venue. Preferred Vendors: BBMR’s preferred vendors list made choosing vendors easier. We used the photographer and bakery from the list, and both were excellent. Lee Stockwell captured beautiful photos, and the strawberry champagne cake from Sister My Sister Bakery was both delicious and a hit with our guests. The Extra Touches: BBMR went above and beyond with adding little details that made the day feel complete—directional signs, lanterns on the tables, themed cake-cutting utensils, and even gold sparkles in the signature cocktails. Those small touches really added to the overall experience. So basically, I would 100% recommend BBMR for your wedding!

Believe it or not, we often have people ask if our pictures throughout our website are showing a mix of fresh and faux and…no they aren’t! Although fresh florals are pretty, we are totally in love with poser-blooms all the way here and that’s what we design 100% of our orders with.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the most incredible experience with the Faux Bouquets! From start to finish, Brittany was responsive, caring and efficient! We rented the ‘Moody Romance’ suite and I purchased an add on of a custom bridal bouquet and boutonnière! I had done thorough research on purchasing real flowers and while price was our driving factor, I loved the element of saving on waste with renting and the option to purchase a keepsake! Brittany spent time talking to me so many times about questions I had and was incredibly patient! With the custom bouquet, I was able to upload inspiration photos and she NAILED it! The shipping process was so seamless as well. Brittany provided the tracking numbers and thorough instructions on receiving and then returning the flowers. I pride myself on getting ALL the flowers returned in record time (Brittany said) ;) All of our guests couldn’t believe the flowers were fake and everyone was raving about them! Do yourself a favor and go with The Fuax Bouquets!

  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style

  • Serves Big Bear Lake, CA
  • Offer

At Alex V Films, we create films that feel elevated, emotional, and completely true to you. Every couple has a different story, energy, and vision for their day, so we take the time to understand what matters most to you before we ever pick up a camera. Our approach is cinematic, but never forced. We are not here to turn your wedding into a staged production or make you redo moments that should be lived in real time. Instead, we focus on capturing the genuine emotion, movement, sound, and atmosphere of your day as it naturally unfolds. The tearful vows, the wild dance floor, the in-between moments, and all the people who made the day yours.

Awarded Best of Zola
Finding the right videographer was incredibly important to us because we wanted more than just photos. We wanted to capture the voices, the laughter, the tears, the movement—every emotion that made our day unforgettable. At first, we struggled to find a connection with the work we saw, but after months of searching online, we came across Alex V Films, and his work left a lasting impression on us. It was exactly what we had been searching for. From the moment we met Alex, his warm personality and passion for his craft put us completely at ease. He took the time to understand our vision, showing incredible attention to detail and truly listening to what we wanted. His talent for capturing not only the big moments but also those small, candid interactions brought everything to life in a way we could only dream of. Alex was able to beautifully weave our vows into the movement and storytelling of our film, bringing each word to life. In my vows, I shared a memory about my papa. As he approached his final days, I asked him, “Papa, what can you tell me about love?” He gently touched his chest and said, “You feel it in your heart.” Alex captured this moment with such care; as I spoke the words, “my papa touched his chest,” the video transitioned to my wife, sliding her hand gently down my chest, mirroring my papa’s gesture. It was as if he had breathed life into our vows, capturing not just the words, but the emotion and legacy behind them. Alex made the experience of working with him enjoyable. Throughout the process, his communication was top-notch, and professionalism shone through every step of the way. He was attentive of our needs and made the process easy. Alex didn’t just record our day—he captured its essence. Every look, every laugh, every precious detail we wanted to hold onto is now a part of a beautiful memory we’ll cherish for a lifetime. These are moments that photos alone could never fully capture; they’re filled with emotions that will be felt and connected to for years to come. At the beginning of this process, Alex was a stranger. As we got to know him we felt as though he became a friend. We’re forever grateful to have found Alex, who created more than just a video—he created a keepsake of our love and joy that we will cherish for a lifetime.

I’m Katie Tinker, Owner of Wildflowers Elegant Events. I am the wife of a Wildland Firefighter and a mama to two precious little boys & a furbaby who have stolen my heart forever. I fell in love with wedding/event planning while planning my own wedding 7 years ago. While most feel event planning to be stressful and full of anxiety I find it to be exciting and fulfilling. I am looking forward to working with you to bring your event dreams to life. And in doing that, it is my mission to make it easy, stress free, fun and an exciting journey for you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had such a wonderful experience working with Katie as our wedding planner. From the very beginning, she was reliable, organized, and incredibly easy to communicate with. Throughout the entire planning process, we always felt comfortable reaching out with questions or bouncing ideas off of her, and she was consistently responsive and thoughtful in her feedback. Katie is not only dependable, but also incredibly creative. One of the things we appreciated most was her honesty especially when it came to our budget. She gave us clear, practical guidance on where it made sense to invest and where we could save, which helped us prioritize what truly mattered without feeling overwhelmed. Her experience in the industry was evident in the strong vendor relationships she’s built. She knows so many great vendors from all areas such as hair/makeup and signage. She got to know us so she was able to provide trusted recommendations that fit our style and budget. Having someone with those connections made the process so much smoother and gave us a lot of confidence in the team we assembled. As with any wedding, a few difficulties inevitably came up along the way, but Katie handled them calmly and professionally. She was proactive, stepped in to contact vendors on our behalf when needed, and worked behind the scenes to resolve issues before they became stressful for us. As the wedding day approached, she made sure every detail was accounted for confirming timelines, vendors, and logistics so everything was organized and ready for the big day. Most importantly, Katie was someone we could truly depend on. She was steady, supportive, and calm not only during the months of planning but especially on the day of our wedding. She was someone we could lean on every step of the way, and knowing she was there allowed us to fully relax and enjoy such a special time in our lives. We are so grateful for everything she did to make our wedding so special and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a planner they can trust.

We got some really great photos from Samuel! We really love his true-to-reality editing and that he tries to capture every detail. Be sure to tell him ahead of time how you want your day to go. He leans hard toward the Instagram-y, fabricated style and it was difficult to redirect to a more candid style in the moment.

I barely have the right word to describe how amazing this team was. From the begining of the process, I felt like they really understood me and my partner. They asked all the right questions, clearly lined out what I could expect (which exceeded my expectations) and over delivered. I was the most relaxed bride there ever was and it had everything to do with them. They had my complete trust which allowed me to not have to think of anything on my wedding day. They fully understood me. They made me feel like family. They felt as close and important to me as my own family. They supported me and carried me through the day. They cried happy tears with me once I was finally married. Surely, I have to be special to them and they'll never forget me ;) Well at least that is the way they made me feel and that really speaks to them and their work and how amazing they are at what they do. Hardest part of my wedding day was saying goodbye to them at the end of the night. I can not thank them enough.

Initially, my husband and I weren’t even considering using a videographer on our wedding day. But after we learned that some of our most cherished family members were unable to attend in person due to medical issues, we reconsidered and went on the hunt for a livestream option as well as an edited highlight video that we could have as a forever keepsake. We spoke to several videographers and Tony was the ONLY one to work with us on the livestream without charging an insane amount of money. He helped troubleshoot streaming platforms and software and even met with us in person beforehand to make sure things ran as smooth as possible. He was incredibly kind and patient while maintaining a professional attitude both before and on our wedding day. It did take a little longer than expected for us to receive the edited footage of our highlight video but the final product was everything we hoped for and more. We are incredibly grateful to have been able to include those members of our family who were unable to make the journey in person, and that’s all because of Tony. Thank you for everything!!

A follower of Christ, a Southern California wedding photographer who’s been telling love stories through my lens since 2012. Fell in love with capturing the real, unfiltered moments that make a wedding unforgettable. I’ve documented hundreds of weddings all across SoCal. From the beaches of Laguna & Malibu to vineyards in Temecula, desert escapes in Joshua Tree, to historic venues in LA. I’m all about the in-between moments: the teary glances, laughter between vows, and the quiet pause before “I do.” Whether you’re planning a mountaintop elopement or a big-city wedding, I’m here to help you relive not just the day—but the feeling.

Antonio is AMAZING!!!! He photographed our courthouse wedding with my extended family and he was so flexible, patient and kind. Even when I was emailing/texting him prior to the wedding for photography logistics, he was so helpful which is great because I was flying in from Texas. I was honest and said my fiance and I don’t know how to take those cute candid pictures and I wanted a lot of that and he directed us perfectly. Our pictures turned out AMAZING!!! Highly recommend Antonio! Book him now. You won’t be disappointed at all! Thanks Antonio!!

I found Kristina through Instagram when I was seeking a MUA to glam me for an upcoming wedding. From her first email, I quickly noticed how warm and friendly she was. She provided clear information about her rates and services. It was an easy yes to move forward with her. Fast forward to the week of my glam, I sent her a few reference photos for the look I was hoping to achieve. She arrived morning of on time and had everything she needed to do her thing. I love that she prepped my skin and I could tell just how passionate she is about her craft. We had such an enjoyable conversation while she was glamming me up. When it was time for me to see the completed look, I was blown away. She went above and beyond that I could have ever expected. She also gave me a kit that had everything I needed in case of any touch ups. By the time I returned to my hotel room after the wedding, my makeup had not budged. I still looked just as fresh as when she first finished. The next day we got to do it all over again because the wedding was a 2-day event. She again accomplished exactly what I needed. I'm so bummed I don't live nearby or else she would be my go to MUA for. any of my glamming needs. If I ever find myself back in the area and need a MUA, Kristina will be who I call. Thank you so much Kristina for providing such a wonderful experience on both days! I hope I have the opportunity to sit in your chair again. Thank you!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of working with Brian for our couple’s September 2024 wedding at a desert ranch, and he was phenomenal from start to finish. He was communicative, collaborative, and incredibly respectful of both the couple’s vision and our timeline—something we truly value as planners. The highlight reels he delivered were epic, and the long-form cinematic film was one of the most beautifully crafted pieces I’ve seen in my career. Brian is truly a master of his craft. I highly recommend him—he’s worth every penny and then some.

Arrowhead Pine Rose Cabins provided a wonderful and accommodating experience for our wedding day. Their communication was fast, detailed, and they were incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. The venue itself had a lovely rustic and spacious feel, with the natural beauty of the outdoors. When a power outage occurred in one of the bridal party cabins, the staff was quick to resolve the issue by providing a backup room with generator power. The DJ, officiant, and on-site coordinator were all included in our package and helped ensure the day unfolded seamlessly. We were able to bring our "Twilight" vision to life thanks to the stunning natural setting. The whole experience was incredible, and I'm so grateful we chose Arrowhead Pine Rose Cabins as the backdrop for our special day.
