Mark was highly communicative, personable, and had great attention to detail. From first call to wedding day, he made sure we were comfortable and well informed.

“Taylor, Monique, Britt and the whole Amari team could not have been more fantastic to work with!! Despite the craziness that is postponing and subsequently planning a "mini-mony" wedding during covid, they maintained the utmost professionalism. The team at Amari was understanding, considerate, and just an overall joy to work with. I am so thankful we chose them as our videographers! Speaking of, Taylor and Monique were so much more than videographers on our wedding day. We had ~20 people, no servers, wedding planner, dj, etc to help facilitate. They stepped in and stepped up! They were our coordinators, planners, and time keepers! It was definitely a surreal day for so many reasons, and they captured it BEAUTIFULLY!!! I can’t stop watching our highlight video and crying. Since the majority of our family and friends could not be there physically, we chose a same-day edit (such an awesome service they offer!) and sent it out via email the next day.. Every family member and friend that we sent it to did not stop raving about how perfect it was. If you are contemplating not having a videographer - think again!

“We absolutely loved having our wedding at The Thursday Club. The views are gorgeous, the space is beautiful, and it gave us exactly the kind of wedding we wanted. One of our favorite things was how much flexibility we had to make the space our own. We really wanted a circular ceremony so we could literally be surrounded by our family and friends while we got married, and Chris was completely game. He helped us figure out how to make it work in the garden, and it ended up being one of our favorite parts of the entire wedding. Standing there surrounded by everyone we love, with the ocean in the background, was incredibly special. The flow of the venue worked so well too. We had the ceremony in the garden, cocktail hour spread between the garden and terrace, and then moved inside for dinner and dancing. It felt romantic and intimate while still having plenty of room for our roughly 150 guests. The interior is beautiful on its own, plus we had separate spaces for both of us to get ready before the wedding and were able to use the stage during the reception. Chris was also just a lovely dude to work with. Before the wedding, both Ellen’s parents and my parents visited San Diego on separate weekends and wanted to see the venue. Chris welcomed both families and personally showed them around. One of those visits was even on a holiday, and he still took time out of his day to make our parents feel welcome. They were excited about the wedding and wanted to see where their kids were getting married, and the way he treated them meant a lot to us. He was also incredibly responsive and on top of things throughout planning. Venue logistics can get complicated with insurance, vendors, what you can and can’t bring in, timing, and all the random little rules you don’t think about when you first start planning a wedding. Chris flagged things early and was clear about what we needed to do, so we weren’t suddenly scrambling for insurance or discovering requirements right before the wedding. We always felt like we knew what was coming. And then there is just the setting itself. Garden ceremony, cocktails overlooking the ocean, dinner and dancing inside, all in one place. The whole evening flowed beautifully and felt so romantic. We have such good memories of The Thursday Club and are really happy we chose it. Gorgeous views, a beautiful and flexible space, and a genuinely kind person running it. Chris, thank you for taking such good care of us and our families.”

I’m a people person. I’m observant, intuitive, and deeply inspired by real connection. I care about experiences, emotion, and the kind of moments that can’t be staged. I love photography because it’s storytelling in its purest form. It’s the ability to capture energy, emotion, and meaning in a split second. What drives me is creating images that go beyond aesthetics — photos that hold memory, movement, and feeling. For me, photography is about preserving what’s real, so you can return to it again and again.

“Maya exceeded every expectation. Her eye for detail, light, and emotion is truly exceptional. She captured our wedding day with such elegance and authenticity — every image feels intentional, refined, and full of feeling. Beyond her talent, Maya is professional, kind, and a joy to work with. Our gallery is timeless, emotional, and absolutely stunning. We would book her again in a heartbeat.”

“We don’t even know where to begin because words truly can’t capture how incredible Clémence and The Perfect Pair Wedding were. From the very first meeting to the final moments of our wedding day, Clémence was so much more than just a wedding planner - she was our guide, our support system, and our biggest cheerleader. Her passion for what she does is so evident. You can feel the love and care she pours into every single detail. But what truly stood out was how much she cared for us. Clémence was there not just to plan the wedding, but to make sure my husband and I felt supported, calm, and cared for every step of the way. She wasn’t just a planner; she was a steady, reassuring presence, offering both her expertise and her emotional support, problem solving skills when we needed it most. Her eye for detail is unmatched. She coordinated every element with such thoughtfulness and precision that everything came together flawlessly. She brought out the culture and traditions so well! And it wasn’t just us who noticed - our friends, family, and loved ones are still talking about how beautiful the wedding was and how amazing The Perfect Pair Wedding team was. We’ve been receiving so many texts and calls from guests, all raving about how stunning the day was, thanks to Clémence and her team in coordinating so well.

I've been djing since I was 15 years old. I had a fascination for parties and events at an early age. I tagged along with my brother who dj'd at house parties back in the early 80's. I was hooked after seeing how much joy the music brought out in the crowd. I started buying my own 12" records, and it evolved into doing my own gigs: house parties, jr. high & high school dances, colleges, raves, underground parties, night clubs, weddings, corporate events, and so on. I started my DJ business in 1987, and have been honing my craft now for 3 decades. Thirty plus years later, I continue to love what I do. Now let's get the party started.

Known for our high quality and reasonable prices, we have been providing San Diego with the best cakes and pastries since 1975. We are the originators of the now famous “Swiss Black Forest” cake. We invite you to visit our shop and taste the difference for yourself…

“We had European Cake Gallery make our wedding cake. They were super easy to communicate with and so helpful with creating our design. We wanted a vintage 2-tier looking cake and it turned out beautiful! They even took us in with shorter notice and made it more amazing than we could have imagined! When we designed the cake they sent us home with a hefty amount of 5 different flavors to try from. The Bavarian White was a winner hands down!! So delicious! We added our own cake topper, but everything from start to finish was amazing and such a smooth process. I still dream about this cake.”

Florals shape the atmosphere of your event. They influence how a space feels. And when they’re designed with care and preparation, they support a celebration in a way that feels steady and seamless. Sage & Autumn was built on the belief that beautiful design should be grounded in structure. Over time, I’ve learned that great florals aren’t just arranged — they’re planned. When we work together, my role is to bring clarity, calm, and professionalism to the process. Whether your event is grand or intimate, the approach remains the same: refined, prepared, and centered on what truly reflects you.

“Working with Sage and Autumn was such a pleasure from start to finish. Dianne really understood what I was going for and went out of her way to track down the exact flowers that fit my vision. We created bridesmaids bouquets with individual recipes that all came together to make up the bridal bouquet, and it was stunning. She listened to our ideas and were open to feedback whenever we needed to adjust something. The final arrangements looked exactly like I'd imagined, and our guests couldn't stop complimenting the flowers throughout the day. I'd definitely recommend them to any couple looking for florists who care about getting it right.”
