The app allows you to create a timeline of events and add specific songs so that everything goes smoothly throughout the event. We got so many compliments during the reception on the song choices.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kristine Smith Designs was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the start, Kristine's communication style was straightforward about what to expect, quick in response time, and genuinely comforting. She checked in on us emotionally and made sure to keep us in check when it came to getting our weekly homework done. We are both very busy attorneys, so it was comforting to know that Kristine would gently nudge us and remind us of the immediate tasks that needed to get done. Her team's dedication, attention to detail, and invaluable expertise made them an indispensable part of our special day. We went into our wedding day expecting something to go wrong, as that is what everyone told us to expect when planning a wedding, but Kristine made our day flawless. Not a single detail was overlooked, and Kristine captured our vision perfectly, right down to the lovely woven baskets that held the flowers down the aisle. Kristine also helped us start preparing for the wedding 16 months in advance, so that by the time we were 2-3 weeks away, there was barely anything left to do. I felt so calm and confident the whole time, knowing Kristine and her team had everything under control. Kristine also did our flowers, which was perfect because as our planner, Kristine understood exactly what our vision was! We are so grateful for their incredible service and would highly recommend Kristine Smith Designs to any couple planning their wedding. Our wedding would not have been what it was without her!

Buckboard Catering and Events 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
El Cajon, CA
  • Caterer
  • Starts at $1,000

Established in 1986. Buckboard Catering and Events was established in May of 1986 and is one of the oldest catering companies in San Diego. The business has expanded to include a full range of farm-to-fork locally sourced food options to extensive culinary catering for any occasion or experience. A complete inventory of rental items for any size event is also available.

We could not have been happier with the service we received from Buckboard as the catering provider for our wedding. Right from the initial meeting Ashley, (Buckboard’s sales manager) gave us a personalized introduction and very friendly tasting. It was clear from this initial interaction that she cared more about our experience and less about just becoming one of their customers. The food was/is absolutely delicious. Every single item was cooked perfectly, and it was clear from the initial tasting that their chefs and cooks take genuine pride in cooking high quality meals that do not come off as “mass produced” like a number of other caterers in the area. We have lost count of the number of guests who told us during and after the meal that it was by far the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding, and this is reflective of the company as a whole. Ashley and JP (the Chief Operating Officer) were both present during the planning process, and worked with us directly to determine a menu that would be both wonderful for the guests as well as within our budget. When dietary restrictions were presented, Ashley and her team made the accommodations easy and care free, and provided options that were also delicious. She and her staff were so friendly and professional on the day-of that a number of guests went out of their way to comment on the crew. We cannot rave enough about the services we received from Buckboard Catering. To make matters better they also operate a full-time restaurant in El Cajon, which we plan on frequenting regularly when visiting San Diego. For prospective couples planning a wedding, choosing Buckboard as your caterer will not only put your mind at ease knowing the quality of service you will be receiving, but you and your guests will be absolutely thrilled with the meal you get to enjoy.

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! We were in full panic mode on the morning of our wedding when our original hair and makeup artist completely bailed on us last minute. By what can only be described as a miracle, we found this incredible team—and they truly saved the day! Not only did they take us in day of without hesitation, but they showed up with the most calming, kind, and professional energy we could have ever asked for. They seamlessly took care of hair and makeup for four bridesmaids, both brides, and one of the bride’s mothers—all within the tight timeline of a wedding day—and somehow managed to make each and every one of us feel and look like absolute perfection.

From our first conversation with The LoveTap, we knew we had found our DJ. Conner was so easy to work with during planning. He not only listened to our ideas but he actually helped us make them better. When we weren't sure about our grand entrance and had asked his thoughts, he knew exactly what to do. He also helped with our father/daughter dance and made the song the perfect length. One thing that stood out was when I recorded a tribute to my mom instead of doing a speech, and Conner mixed it into a song that played perfectly during the ceremony. He didn't stop there either. During the reception, he surprised us by weaving part of my sister's MOH speech into Promiscuous Girl, and honestly, it was one of the coolest moments of the night. Our guests couldn't stop talking about it. The dance floor stayed packed the entire time, with people telling us afterward that they literally never left it. Hiring Conner was such a great decision, and we'd recommend The LoveTap to any couple looking for a DJ who actually cares about making your day special and helping you throw the best party ever.

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.

I can't put into words how happy we are with Dakotah and the work he did on our wedding. Due to unforeseen circumstances, our original videographer fell through. We found Dakotah and loved everything we saw in his portfolio. We reached out and we were immediately struck by his professionalism. We knew we had found our guy. On the day of the wedding, he arrived on time and immediately began getting B-roll of the venue. He did work with my groomsmen and I as well as my wife and her bridesmaids. We also hardly even noticed him during the ceremony. The finished product was stunning. In beautiful cinematic fashion, he perfectly captured the emotion and love we felt. We honestly can't thank Dakotah enough. If you are looking for a videographer for your special day, look no further.

The best decision my wife and I made in the entire planning process for our wedding was hiring Carolyn and Fete Events. I can’t speak highly enough of Carolyn — she was professional, impeccably prepared, ingenuously creative, and a genuine pleasure to work with across the board. She made our wedding a beautiful, seamless experience and her help was truly invaluable. Carolyn was involved in discussions a couple months out from the event, providing guidance and a detailed timeline. Any speed bumps we hit with our venue or other vendors, Carolyn was ready to jump in and assist. She had answers to all our of questions and solutions to problems we hadn’t even considered yet. And that was all before the wedding weekend. On the day of, we didn’t have to think about anything but enjoying our day together. Carolyn had it all taken care of and her cool and calm demeanor kept us feeling comfortable. She provided her creative eye and aesthetic talents to elevate both the ceremony and the reception — it looked stunning! There’s many more things I could say but the gist is simple: Carolyn is a freakin’ ROCK STAR. Hiring Carolyn to coordinate your big day is the biggest favor you can do yourselves. Full stop.

Our goal is to bring your vision to life & to work closely with you to understand your needs & desires. No matter what your need,

Awarded Best of Zola
I'll be honest: I almost didn't write this review because I figured my wife would handle it. But Angela deserves to hear from the groom too. Wedding planning is one of those processes where you don't fully appreciate what your planner is doing until something goes wrong... and with Angela, nothing did. At least not that we knew about. That's the point. From our first interactions, it was clear Angela was more than just organized. Any planner can be "organized." Angela was *meticulous.* The timeline she built for our wedding was one of the most impressive planning documents I've ever seen: detailed, comprehensive, and thorough enough to even include outstanding balances and due dates for every vendor. She knew every contract detail better than we did. Maybe even better than the vendors who wrote the contracts! Looking at it, I remember thinking: "ohhh, this is why people hire planners." Angela didn’t just execute. She had taste and judgment. When our programs didn't fit the napkins as planned, she didn't just solve the problem. She came up with a solution that looked better than the original. When the rental company showed up with one too few tables, she rearranged things so seamlessly that no one noticed. As the groom, I can tell you: I felt completely taken care of. I could exhale and enjoy my day. I cannot overstate how *valuable* that was. Angela has this rare ability to run everything on a precise schedule while improvising masterfully when the moment calls for it. Equal parts conductor and jazz musician. If something went wrong at our wedding, I still don't know about it. That's Angela. Hire her before someone else does.
