“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!”

My name is Victor Since 2008 I was a Body Guard/Chauffeur for celebrities and other VIP clients, I’d be picking them up guarding/protecting them. Around 2015 I was hired by a couple club owners to drive them around and do the norm after a few weeks of being in the club scene and seeing bartenders and DJ’s i started thinking why not try something new and so one day I asked one of the club owners I knew If it be possible If i can practice behind the Bar and what happened.? I loved it..!! The vibe, the people, the atmosphere that a really great bartender creates for his customers

“We are so glad we hired Victor and his team for our wedding! We feel so fortunate to have found them. We thought we wouldn’t be able to find someone to Service in San Jacinto Ca. Victor was incredibly detail-oriented, professional, and communicative from start to finish. All of our guests, friends, and family loved their Cocktails, and the team definitely brought the vibe to our celebration! We couldn’t have asked for a better bartending experience and would highly recommend them for any special event.”

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.”

“Tiffany was so fun to work with! She has such a warm and energetic personality with so much make up and skincare knowledge, she made me feel comfortable and confident in my own skin. I found Louder with Powder as a referral from our wedding photographer and I am so glad I went with her. I told her right away that I do not wear that much make up, and she was so attentive to my needs. I had a make up trial with her about a 2 months before the wedding, and not only did it make the client-artist connection stronger with her bubbly personality, but she also gave so much valuable advice on taking care of my skin to be ready for my wedding day. She told me about switching from make up sponges to brushes, recommended me a serum, and had me start using castor oil on my eyebrows (I was already using it for my eyelashes). To this day, I continue to follow her advice and it has been so helpful for my skincare and make up routine. The day of the wedding, Tiffany had Leydy come out to help with hair and she also did not disappoint! Both of them have such great chemistry together and it really helped make the atmosphere at the bridal suite fun and especially made me feel comfortable. 100% recommend!”

Awarded Best of Zola
“We hired Alexandra and her Sister Michele for a wedding their package came with a complimentary engagement session. We met Alexandra for the first time. Our first impression is as soon as she started talking she made us feel at ease. She took charge of the session, posing and directing us in many ways. My husband isn't the type to want to do photos ever and she had him smiling the entire time. By the end of our engagement session, it felt like we had known her for years. Fast forward to our wedding day, everything was going wrong. When Alexandra arrives she notices my face and right away goes and takes charge. She directed all the vendors to where they needed to be she made sure no one bugged me as I was getting ready. The entire night they were capturing everything without being asked. they made sure that we had pictures with almost every single guest. they took almost 4000 photos and provided them all to use edited within 3 months. They didn't charge us extra most of my friends were surprised when I shared that with them as most photographers charge extra after so many edits. I highly recommend them both they make it so easy to talk to and the booking process was really easy. I am forever grateful I had them capture our day. Gave us so many memories to look back on”

From our first intake call, she was so easy to work with and I loved how excited she was to support my floral visions while minding my budget (and my initial indecisiveness about color schemes)! She was so enthusiastic, creative, communicative, and created gorgeous floral masterpieces beyond what I could have imagined. She really dressed up our venue (particularly the main fountain), and made the whole place feel so romantic, which was exactly the vibe we were going for! She is so talented, and made the terracotta accents pop beautifully for all our florals. She also gave great recommendations for organizing candles with our floral centerpieces.

“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.”

“Rodney and Kelli with Vivid Endeavor Media captured our wedding at the Santa Barbara Courthouse, and we seriously could not have asked for a better experience. We booked their photo and video package, including drone footage, which was one of the things we were most excited about, and they absolutely delivered. From beginning to end, our day was full of laughs. Rodney and Kelli have a way of making you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. They made us feel beautiful, handsome, confident, and like we actually belonged in front of the lens. Nothing ever felt awkward or overly posed. They kept us laughing and made the whole experience genuinely fun. What impressed us even more was how prepared they were. This was their first time photographing a wedding at the Santa Barbara Courthouse, so they went there the day before to scout the entire property, look at the lighting, and figure out the best locations for our photos. By the time we arrived, they already knew exactly where they wanted to take us. And the posing! It honestly felt like they had a thousand different poses and prompts ready to go. Nothing felt repetitive or boring. Rodney especially pays incredible attention to detail. If we needed to move an inch over for better lighting, fix something small, or completely change a setup to make the photo better, he did it. You can tell he really cares about getting the shot right rather than just rushing through a checklist. And as you can see from the photos, everything turned out absolutely stunning. We are so happy we chose Vivid Endeavor Media to document such an important day for us. The entire process was easy, fun, and professional, and the memories they gave us are something we’ll have forever. 10/10. We would absolutely recommend Rodney and Kelli to anyone looking for wedding photography and videography.”

“When my husband and I started planning our small wedding early this year, florals were never something I had thought much about. I contacted Tonette at Areli Event Design and she was so helpful in providing guidance and suggestions based on my (very little) knowledge of florals or really, what I even wanted for our big day. She was so helpful in choosing a color scheme that worked for the vintage vibe we were going for and was very quick to respond to the MANY questions I had. I gave her free creative reign with my bouquet and it came out better than I ever could have imagined. We were married in Vegas so our flowers had to be transported by a family member and she was so careful in packing them and ensuring everything would arrive to us safely and just as gorgeous as when she arranged them. These florals were the highlight of many of our wedding photos and I still just can’t get over how perfect everything came out.

“Christina & Samantha are incredible coordinators. They were so helpful in the months leading up to the wedding and I knew I was in good hands the day of. My husband and I planned to have a small wedding on a smaller budget, but we are so happy we made the decision to book a coordinator! CC's Celebrations was honestly the best investment we made for our wedding. They helped with timelines, followed up with all our vendors, kept us on schedule with planning, and gave us so many invaluable tips for making our day go as smoothly as possible. From the first Zoom call to the venue walkthrough and rehearsal, both Christina & Samantha made us feel comfortable and taken care of. They kept our wedding party on schedule the day of and truly went above and beyond to make our day one that we could cherish forever. They truly brought our vision to life and I really don't think we could have pulled it off without them. Thank you, Christina, Samantha, and Gina!”

Wild Irish Rose Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (15 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Big Bear Lake, CA

I run on shenanigans, sassiness, and an obscene amount of coffee. And I grew up in the mountains so that makes me a wildflower at heart and a mountain girl through and through. When we meet be prepared for me to crack jokes, laugh loudly, gesture wildly, and run full sprint towards something I think is pretty (while trying not to die). I believe in embracing life with a whole lot of weirdness, far too much smart-aleck humor, and every single ounce of fierce passion, obsessive gratitude, profound inspiration, and reckless joy that I can forcefully wring out of this adventure called life. So that's me.

“From the moment my husband and I first reached out to Wild Irish Rose Photography, we were impressed by her quick, friendly, and attentive communication style. On the day of our wedding, the photographer was extremely nice and made us feel extra special. The photos she captured were bright, lively, and absolutely beautiful - I'm in awe at the quality of her work. The pictures came out amazing, and we cannot recommend Kristen enough.”

“Topo's Restaurant Bar & Banquet Facility was a great venue for our wedding celebration. The communication with the staff, particularly Jorge was generally good, but we did have to double check on a few things to ensure everything was just right. The space itself was intimate yet roomy, providing a nice atmosphere for our event. Jorge and the team made sure everything was nice and in order, contributing to us having an overall great time on our special day. My husband and I were very pleased with Topo's and would recommend it to other couples looking for a quality wedding venue.”

“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!!”

“Dean MacKay Photography has been such a joy to work with! Our wedding was back in May 2024, and with a reception do-over happening very soon (due to illness-driven reasons), we are looking forward to working with him again! Dean's communication is timely, professional, and always makes sure his clients' requests are completed (reasonably). Dean puts all of his energy in making sure magical moments are captured along with getting moments that are timeless and elegant. He was absolutely phenomenal to have as our wedding photographer and even got photos of things we don't remember happening! In making sure our special day is everything we could imagine, it was super sweet to meet and discuss locations, ideal shots, and more leading up to the big day (which made the wedding day a bit less stressful). Dean is also very reasonable for travel! If you are looking for someone to make your day feel special and candid, he is your guy!”

Ale Stream Events 
Rating: 5.0 (13 reviews)
  • Bar services & beverages
  • Starts at $399
  • Serves Big Bear Lake, CA

As a proud dad of two amazing kids and a supportive wife, I've ventured into the world of small business to teach my son about entrepreneurship. While he may not be serving drinks just yet, he plays a vital role in preparing for the unforgettable events we create for our community.

“Oh, honey, if you want your event to go from mild to wild, you need to roll out the red carpet for the Ale Stream trailer! This isn't just a beer tap on wheels; it's a mobile moment, a shimmering beacon of good taste and, frankly, killer aesthetics. First off, let's talk about the look. It's giving retro-chic, a fabulous Airstream-style vibe that catches the light and the attention. It doesn't just sit there; it serves as a backdrop, honey. You can drape it in all the decor your heart desires, making it the perfect accessory for a wedding, a corporate gala, or even a casual little block party—darling, the versatility! The staff are an absolute dream. We're talking professional, personable, and ready to pour you whatever your heart desires with a smile that could light up the whole venue. They make the whole process utterly seamless, honey. No fuss, no drama, just pure, unadulterated service. And the drinks? Gag-worthy in the best way possible. They are tied to a real brewery, Luchador Brewing Company, so you know the craft beer is legit. They have a range that will suit every palate: • Lucha Lager: Crisp, clean, and everything you need for a hot day. • Citra Slam IPA: A little something with an attitude, bold and hoppy. • El Jefe Orange Wheat Ale: Fruity, smooth, and refreshing—perfect for when you're feeling a little zesty. • Pacific Pils Pale Ale: A classic that never goes out of style. But wait, there's more! They can do wine and full bar services, including custom cocktails. Want a bespoke drink named after you and your partner for your wedding? Done. They are here for the vision. In conclusion, Ale Stream is a slay. It's the moment, the main event, and the most fabulous way to ensure your guests are living their best lives with a drink in hand. Book them, darling, and let the good times flow!”
