Tom and his team are truly a joy to work with… if smiling faces and witty senses of humor aren’t enough of a reason for you, from a Wedding Planner, they met my expectation of vendor communication, responsiveness, professionalism and a great value. They show up on time and deliver what they say they will. We had a large guest count wedding, a tri-location venue and a very thirsty crowd, they rose to the occasion and guests were raving about their bar experiences. Would highly recommend reaching out to Tom and having his team at your event! -signed a Type A and particular planner ;)

Affordable Chef Services LLC

Capitola, CA
  • Caterer
  • Starts at $26

Whether you're searching for a caterer for a dinner party, birthday, anniversary, wedding reception, holiday, company picnic, or other event, personal Chef Mark Gallagher of Affordable Chef Services of Santa Cruz can custom cater a menu just for you. Our highly trained professional staff have the experience and passion to cater your special event.

We hired Mark to cater brunch for our wedding, and we were very impressed! He replies in a timely manner to questions, requests, and concerns. From the moment he reached out in response to my project on Thumbtack, Mark worked hard to accommodate our needs. He made sure that we felt good about the menu before we booked with them. Many of our guests made comments to us about how much they enjoyed the food, and everyone (about 130 people) had as much to eat as they wanted with food left over. My only regret was that as the bride I didn't have the chance to eat as much of that AMAZING French toast as I wanted!

In 2020, I took a leap and left my 9-to-5 job to pursue my passion for photography full-time. Now, as a dedicated wedding and lifestyle photographer, I’m thrilled to capture the special moments that mean the most to you. I take pride in delivering high-quality photos and genuinely enjoy being part of your big day. Based in Aptos, I also serve the surrounding areas of the Monterey Bay region, and I’m always ready to travel wherever your love story takes us!

Awarded Best of Zola
Deanna was truly the most amazing photographer for our wedding! Neither my husband nor I had ever taken professional photos before, and to be honest, we’re both pretty awkward and camera-shy. But from the moment we booked her, she made the whole experience feel effortless. She even offered an engagement session, which helped us get comfortable in front of the camera. By the end of it, we were blown away by how beautiful the photos turned out—far beyond what we had imagined! On the wedding day, Deanna was more than just a photographer; she was a calming presence amidst all the excitement and nerves. Her ability to guide us through poses felt so natural—never forced or uncomfortable. She has such an incredible eye for capturing genuine moments, and the photos reflect that in every frame. Deanna didn’t just document our wedding; she became a friend along the way. I can’t express how much we appreciate her talent, kindness, and professionalism. We’re already looking forward to working with her again for future milestones and photo sessions. Thank you, Deanna, for capturing our special day so perfectly—we couldn’t have asked for more!

At Event by Dawn, I’ve spent over 10 years helping couples bring their wedding dreams to life. I’m here to guide you through the planning process, making it as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. I love working closely with you to create a day that reflects your unique vision, and I’m happy to tailor my packages to fit your budget and needs. From start to finish, I’ll ensure your wedding day is seamless, personal, and unforgettable.

Long story short: hire Dawn!! Dawn coordinated our wedding at Waterfall Lodge and we could have asked for a more supportive, collaborative, knowledgeable, detail-oriented, caring person to coordinate our day. From the start, communication was easy and Dawn was very responsive, transparent, and helped us create a wedding that aligned with our goals, values, and budget. She provided us with tons of resources to help us execute our day - sample timelines, layouts, vendor lists, tips and tricks, and more (in addition to lots of email communication and very thoughtful meetings leading up to our big day). Our wedding day was truly a dream - better than we could’ve ever imagined - and I strongly believe it is largely in part because Dawn (and the rest of our vendor team that mostly came from Dawn’s recommendations) was so on it. We were 100% present for our wedding and at peace knowing Dawn was in charge of our day. From the bottom of my heart and top of my brain, I couldn’t recommend Dawn more!! Thank you, Dawn, for helping us create the most perfect day to celebrate our love. :)

Welcome. Karla has been an artist for as long as she has been alive. It all started when she was in preschool and thought that painting another pre-school student with paint was fun. Unfortunately, she got sent home that day, but the artist in her was born! Working with flowers, and making events beautiful for her clients, has provided Karla with an outlet that is very fulfilling for her. It creates a balance, and zen for her, which fills, balances, and feeds her soul.

Hi, I’m Sabine—the heart behind Regular Sweetheart Images. I’m a Santa Cruz-based photographer with a love for weddings, vintage vibes, and real, heartfelt moments. Inspired by the beauty of the coast (hello, Big Sur, Carmel & Monterey!), I capture love stories with a warm, nostalgic touch. Let’s make something beautiful together.

My partner and I were looking to have a small elopement at City Hall in SF. If you know, you know- it’s a beautiful building with a ton of epic photo opportunities but difficult to navigate being a public space with a lot of other people walking around (and getting married). We ended up navigating it quite seamlessly angling everything perfectly to make it appear as if we were the only ones there for every photo. She did not hesitate to step in and direct, which was very helpful. Our wedding took place in October and our color scheme was a moody fall pallet- Sabine made sure the tones of the photos matched this and definitely gave a special vibe that enhanced the photos in the perfect way. Long story short, I told Sabine everything about our vision for our photos and she did not disappoint. Sabine was so great, and I would recommend her to any couple looking to get married no matter what the style of their wedding is.

This October, I worked with Elope in Monterey to have a small wedding with my immediate family in attendance. I feel so unbelievably lucky that Catherine was my photographer! I showed up to my wedding without ever meeting Catherine, but her warmth and friendliness made me feel comfortable immediately. As someone who is pretty shy in front of the camera (same goes for my partner), I was surprised by how comfortable I felt in front of Catherine's lens. She really let us be ourselves and joyfully captured all the silliness that makes us who we are. I also really appreciated her helpful directions and tips for posing, which she always delivered kindly. Catherine really made us feel like she was so happy to be there and for me, that really made my experience so pleasant and memorable! Even though our package only included 60 minutes of photography, she never made us feel rushed and she really went the extra mile to get us a large variety of shots and made sure we had many photos in various configurations of our group! I've received our photos, and they are stunning! I cannot thank Catherine enough for capturing the joy of our special day!

I have a visceral reaction every time I witness love and true connection. It’s the electric feeling you get when you’re part of something that’s happening in the present moment. Being able to document that truly brings me to life. I pair best with couples who seek a documentary style and give me their trust to capture their moments. Your wedding day is not a performance. It’s about you, your big love, real life, and your closest people. The quiet moments, the loud ones, and all the in between . I document just that, in a photojournalist meets editorial kind of way that tells the story of your unique love.

Words cannot begin to describe how incredibly happy we are to have had Onawa capture our wedding day! Not only is she incredibly talented as an artist at capturing the best moments, but everyone (not just me and my husband, but all of the guests!) had so much fun with her and felt so natural around her! The photos truly captured our best day in the best way. Looking through them all, it feels like we are reliving it all over again. From our first conversation almost a year out from our wedding, to the weeks following it, Onawa communicated with us every step of the way (even welcoming us home from our honeymoon!). She is beyond talented and we absolutely could not be happier with our photos that we will cherish forever.

I've never been much for tradition, so you can imagine weddings were never really my "thing" when I first picked up a camera. Luckily, I found that the wedding industry has been evolving away from the old cookie-cutter format and that is what keeps me doing what I do. My favorite weddings are the ones where you & your partner's personalities show throughout the day rather than getting lost in all the things you "have" to do. I love being part of a day filled with so much love & excitement and what I aim to do is find you in all of it. Because weddings aren't about fitting into a mold anymore - they're about you getting to celebrate your love.

In our search for a wedding photographer, Sarah's artistic style caught my eye right away. She offers a blended service of candid and semi-posed photographs which matched how we hoped to capture our wedding day moments. From our first phone call and in-person consultation, Sarah put us at ease. She helped organize our style preferences and 'must-capture' moments as we planned for the wedding. Her questionnaire helped bring focus in the planning phase and on the wedding day, we knew we were in good hands. I highly recommend Sarah's services, she has an eye for the little details you want to remember and she was discrete during the ceremony and reception while snapping candids (which I appreciated as someone who gets nervous in front of a camera!). We are so pleased with our photos and had a great time working together with Sarah.

Well, really it’s all about You. Five Star Catering was established in 1997, with the aspiration of offering our clients something more, by fulfilling your vision & then enhancing it! We wanted to offer inclusive packages which made planning an event easier and didn’t nickle and dime you by charging for every little bite and the fork that went with it! We're best known for, high-quality, made from scratch food, gracious service from a well trained, professional, experienced team, culinary artistry in delectable foods & presentation and local, fresh, sustainable ingredients.

Five Star Catering is definitely named appropriately! The booking process was seamless, a little on the pricier side but the quality is well worth the higher price tag. The food was absolutely delicious and our guests are still talking about how good the food was even 2 weeks after our wedding. We hired them for bartending services as well and the signature drinks they made were so tasty!! 10/10 would recommend Five Star to anyone!

Andrina and her team are all you could ask for and want in a wedding planner! My husband and I are over the moon and all of our guests kept complimenting our wedding about how smooth and easy going everything went. That's all kudos to Andrina! Her professionalism, timely communication and calm demeanor were beyond our wildest expectations. She executed our vision to an absolute T. I would recommend C&C to all brides for any event big or small she will have you covered!
