I wish I’d spoke up on being self conscious about my butt, and I didn’t so I have some pictures I probably won’t be sharing, but the pictures we have are pretty, she got everything I wanted during our ceremony, I just wish I had gotten some pictures with my bridesmaids and me in my wedding dress. The ball got dropped on that. Other than that I’m happy with my ceremony pictures, and some of the pictures where I’m facing away from the camera I’m not a huge fan of. My husband loves them though, so that’s good. There was some miscommunication on editing and what not, but over all we got some really good photos.

Dana Point, CA
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $7,500

Hailing from New Orleans, LA, and now based out of South Orange County, CA, I fell in love with photography long ago. I officially launched my wedding & elopement photography business in 2021. After graduating in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, I found myself having the time to further fall in love with photography, getting the chance to photograph more and more - so much so that I was able to start my own business in a rather unexpected way. Now able to travel the world with my camera in tow, I am beyond grateful for this passion turned career, & I feel so blessed every time my finger presses down on my camera shutter.

Cassidy is the best! I'm a videographer so I always look forward to any wedding that I get to work with Cassidy. She's professional, fun, and so easy to work with.

The day of the event she promptly delivered my arrangement and assisted in helping me with the best placement. The arrangement The Watering Can designed was breathtaking and a perfect compliment and highlight to my business. I received compliments all night.

DJ Dominiq 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,995
  • Serves Dana Point, CA

My name is Dominiq and I have been in the wedding industry since 2006. I absolutely LOVE what I do. My middle name is Jakob so my name is literally DJ, I was born for this. I have 6 sisters so not only do I love what I do, but I believe in it as a hopeless romantic at heart. I enjoy bringing together families and friends to forget about their problems for a day and just enjoy life and celebrate.

DJ Dominiq was the DJ for our wedding at Hummingbird Nest Ranch in October 2024, and choosing him was one of the easiest decisions we made. I’m also a wedding planner and have worked with Dominiq for many years on countless weddings, and that long-standing professional relationship is exactly why we chose him for our own wedding. My fiancé is extremely particular about music, especially transitions, flow, and reading the dance floor. We wanted a party that felt elevated, fun, and alive, without the undertone of a corny MC or over-the-top DJ personality. Dominiq absolutely nailed this. The music flowed seamlessly, the energy never dipped, and the dance floor stayed full because he truly knows how to read a room. Even though Dominiq knows us well and has worked with us many times, he still scheduled a final meeting a week prior to the wedding. That meeting meant a lot to us, it showed how much he genuinely listens and cares about understanding each couple’s specific wants and needs. We felt completely heard and confident going into the wedding day. From a professional standpoint, Dominiq is everything you want in a vendor: always on time, always prepared, impeccably dressed, and consistently professional. he also has the best equipment and the best speakers. Coming from a person who works with a lot of DJs. I have very often seen really terrible speakers used at a wedding which means you can’t hear the MC and everything is muffled that was not the case with Dominiq. He brings a calm confidence to every event and elevates the overall experience for both couples and vendors alike. I can honestly say, as both a bride and a wedding planner, I highly recommend DJ Dominiq. He is incredibly talented, reliable, and truly one of the best in the industry.

"I am still in awe. 100/10 absolutely phenomenal. Thank you for above & beyond service. BOOK HIM you will not regret it." -Reese Free. As you compare performers, you likely wonder what makes one a better fit than another. Of course, musical skill is important. This is something I've developed in my 15 years of playing. But there's more than that—it's the ability to fit seamlessly with a DJ, to connect with vendors behind the scenes to minimize weight on your shoulders, to deliver your important songs in a way that accentuates the emotions of the moment.

I’m Ashley, the owner of Rose Event Co. I love being able to share in the love of two individuals and feel lucky to get to work with such wonderful people each day! I’ve been planning weddings and events for over eight years now, and I couldn’t be more thankful with where I am now in my business. I primarily serve the OR | WA | CA markets, but will travel anywhere!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Ashley at Rose Event Co as our Day of Wedding Coordinator was definitely one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. I thought I was going to be able to manage planning our entire wedding myself, but as the day crept closer and closer, I realized that I was definitely going to need a hand. We spoke with a dozen different coordinators, and Ashley just stood out SO strongly amongst the rest. To put it as simply as possible, she saw our vision, she understood it, she stood in and shared in it with us. She knew exactly how to support us in making it happen, and she was easily able to make us feel that. We initially had concerns about her being located so far away from us (we're in Oakland, CA), but she put those concerns to rest so quickly! Throughout my months of planning after hiring Ashley, she was always there to answer my questions, and provide support and reassurance in all of the little things that I just wasn't sure how to handle myself, and she did so with such grace, patience, and an air of calm that was so extremely helpful and reassuring. When the month of our wedding arrived, Ashley quickly got to work on communicating with and organizing all of our vendors and laying out the structure for the day. She traveled to Monte Rio to be with us the day before our big day, walked us through the ceremony, went over all of the details, and left us so confident and comfortable in her extremely capable hands. The day of the wedding, Ashley handled EVERYTHING and EVERYONE with such care and tranquility. All of our wedding vendors absolutely loved her, and we never stopped hearing about how great she was to work with! Ashley is an absolute BOSS in all of the best ways that you can imagine! She is supportive, encouraging, communicative, active, helpful, caring, the list just goes on and on. She wants you to succeed, and you can FEEL it. She remembered and double checked on all of the little details, before, during, and after our wedding, and words simply cannot express our gratitude. She did so many things automatically, that I hadn't even thought to discuss with her, but was so grateful that we had her there to do. Thank you Ashley!! She did so many little things that I didn't even realize until I started looking through all of our photos, and noticed that they had all been done. On top of all of that, she basically packed up the entirety of our decor with the assistance of her extremely helpful husband, which was such a huge relief for us and for our wedding party who had put so much into the day. We were all able to completely disconnect and just enjoy the evening, which was so unbelievably priceless. There are so many things that make Ashley stand out from other coordinators. So many coordinators that we had talked to before Ashley had a big list of things that they would NOT do, but not Ashley. She was willing to do whatever needed to be done to ensure that our wedding day went perfectly, and it did, thanks to her!! HUGE bonus, she brought along her Super 8 camera, and we CANNOT WAIT to see the footage!! If you're looking for someone who has your back, and can handle ALL of the things with a level of calm that oozes into everyone around her, HIRE ASHLEY! You absolutely will not regret it. Thank you so much Ashley, for EVERYTHING that you did, and for ALL of your help in making our wedding day so unbelievably perfect!!

At the time, I was already more than halfway through my wedding planning, and I honestly wish I had met her earlier. She’s a one-stop shop and offers such a wide range of services!

Serenity was such an important part of our special day! I am so so so grateful that we found her. We interviewed many day of coordinators but ended up moving forward with Serenity because we loved her gentle/kind personality. She exuded warmth from the first second we jumped on a call with her. Our check ins prior to the week of the wedding were also super helpful and organized. The day before the wedding during the rehearsal, she went above and beyond with helping us problem solve some logistics that were outside of me and my husbands wheelhouse (spatial flow, timing, etc). On the day of, she made sure our vision came to life by making executive decisions on placement of items (the memorial table was so perfect!) and quick thinking when things went awry (the sound at our venue had glitches and she adjusted the time table seamlessly). We really couldn’t have asked for a better day of coordinator. You made our day shine! Thank you so much!!

There were a lot of unknowns about our wedding. But one decision was easy; choosing Tucker and Alyssa to be our photographers. We have followed Tucker Horton Media on Instagram for a while before we got engaged and when we decided on a venue in southern California, we knew we had to reach out to our favorite Instagram photographers.   Their replies were quick, professional and their quotes were more than fair. We were particularly pleased to learn that engagement photos were included in the quote and took full advantage of that perk as well!   Engagement photos: One thing we loved about working with Tucker and Alyssa was how much space they gave us during our engagement shoot. With all the wedding planning in our heads, they could tell we needed a moment to relax before we could really get the pictures we wanted. Their patience and relaxed presence let us open up and capture some truly beautiful moments. Tucker can chase the light like no other and Alyssa fed us prompts when we were feeling awkward. The result was some really special moments both captured in photo, and felt by the both of us. And! The turn-around time for getting our photos back was way faster than we thought!   Wedding Day: To be frank, our wedding day was more hectic than some. Personalities clashed, and some things fell apart. Through that, Wyld Story found pockets of peace to capture some really beautiful moments and showed incredible grace under pressure.   The final pictures were beyond what we could have expected! One of which we actually turned into a 2000 piece puzzle and is currently hanging in our living room! When we went through the fullness of our wedding photos a couple weeks later, more than once we found ourselves saying, “Wait, that’s us???” just because some of the pictures were so spectacular.   One of the best parts of the Wyld Story package was being able to get a handful of sneak peak photos to pass around at dinner to all of our guests. That extra step was a way for us to keep the celebration going right after the ceremony and was an amazing surprise! We were also amazed at the number of photos we got of our guests that were taken while we were off doing other things. During our wedding day, we found ourselves pulled in so many directions as we interacted with all of our guests. After the wedding day, we got to relive different parts of our reception that we had initially missed and smile in the moments that our guests got to enjoy.

I am so glad I chose Color Mind Video Production to be a part of our wedding day. Herbert is a 1-man show so it took a while for us to get our video, but it was worth the wait. He is very affordable, but the value is still top notch. He is very responsive to emails and always kind.

I don’t even have enough words to express how thankful we are for Jenny. She went above and beyond for us every step of the way, from the initial phone call to our engagement shoot to our wedding photos. My husband and I are nervous in front of cameras and she was able to make us feel at ease the whole time. She is SUCH a pro. I was a very anxious bride the day of our wedding and she was able to keep me calm and keep the day running smoothly from start to finish. My husband and I are so happy she was our photographer on our big day. We can’t stop talking about how great she is. She captured everything so wonderfully both on film and digitally. We have so many priceless moments captured. It’s hard to pick which ones to share! Not only that, but it was pouring rain during our outdoor reception and she was out on the dance floor in the rain with us! Jenny is not only a wonderful photographer, she’s a fabulous person as well. Look no further and book her for your engagement and wedding photos!

Paru was so wonderful from the very first moment. It was great how easy she was to communicate with and she made me feel so secure in my choice very quickly. Paru had a wonderful portfolio of work to look at online with many diverse clients which made my vision really feel possible as I have a very diverse friend group with ladies of so many different skin tones and complexions. She was amazing at really capturing what I wanted for my wedding day makeup and was super accommodating despite having many additions to my wedding party needs between booking and day of. The whole time, Paru was super professional, kind and understanding of my changing needs. When the morning of the wedding came, she and her assistant were professional and prepared, while also being a joy to work with. I had 5 bridesmaids, my mom, mom’s friend, grandma, and me getting ready and everything worked out perfectly on time. She was so kind accommodating last minute additions just days before the wedding too, and taking such great care of my grandma, who hasn’t had her makeup done in a very long time. Paru and her assistant took such good care of all my ladies and me and everyone looked so stunning, me included of course. She sent me off with a touch up kit, but despite many tears, I feel like my makeup didn’t budge the whole night!!! I’ve never had makeup look so ME, I almost didn’t recognize myself right away as someone who hardly wears makeup, but once I was fully dressed and glammed up I felt like the most perfect version of myself. It was really like a dream come true! I am so happy with how my look and all my ladies turned out, everyone was so beautiful. I cannot recommend her enough, she was such an angel to work with. I’ve never felt more beautiful!
