Welcome to Connor's Craft Cakes, your passport to a delectable journey through the world of artisanal cakes. My goal with each cake is to ensure that your identity is expressed in an artistic centerpiece cake that you couldn’t live without.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Connor to make our wedding cake and we are tremendously happy we did. We were in the unique position of planning our California wedding while living in Massachusetts, but Connor was awesome to work with. He was extremely communicative over phone and email, he offered to ship samples to us (but we ended up trying them when we happened to be in California for other reasons), and he understood our colorful/wildflower vision perfectly. He sent us some mock-ups of the cake design, we iterated a few times, and the final product was exactly what we were looking for. The flavors were also delicious - we ended up going with 3 flavors because we loved them so much. Quite possibly the most delicious cake I've eaten.. and we received so many compliments from our guests. We are just so happy. Thank you Connor for making our spectacular wedding cake - you'll be hearing from us for every single anniversary to follow :)

Awarded Best of Zola
John was our photographer for our wedding (and all wedding festivities) and captured so many special photos of my now husband and I! He truly cares about executing what your vision is. He never made me feel like I was too detail-oriented or particular, and I can definitely be overly-detailed at times! haha. He is truly committed to pleasing his clients. Not only that, but the post wedding experience of designing the layout of my wedding book has been fun instead of what could have been confusing and overwhelming. He has extreme patience and helped me create the layout for my very extensive wedding album, as well assisted in communication with an awesome leather craftsman company to design the custom cover. I feel like the wedding book is sometimes a thing that couples don’t get to, and then it never gets done, so the ease of that process made me so happy I went with John. Now my family and I will be able to cherish the wedding photos in one beautiful album to display at our house.

She is personable, down to earth, kind and radiated a calming presence that helped ease all the nerves that come along with a big event.

We enhance your ideas, promising an extraordinary experience that exceeds expectations.

I can’t say enough good things about Franck from dSide Productions! We found out about him from our wedding venue, CRC, and right from our first chat, I felt like we were in good hands. I was a bit worried about whether we could afford him, but after seeing his amazing work, I was convinced it was worth it. Everyone kept telling us that investing in quality photography and videography is important, and Franck really showed us how true that is. He was super accommodating and worked with us to find a great price, even including a Save the Date video! On our wedding day, October 10, 2025, Franck and his fantastic team, Josh and Chris, were absolutely incredible! Franck brought such great energy and made everyone feel comfortable and involved. Josh, our photographer, was so much fun! He helped calm my nerves with jokes and even helped me with my necklace, which was a really sweet touch. Chris, our second videographer, went the extra mile by assisting my sister and the cellist, ensuring everything went smoothly. Our guests absolutely loved them! Franck is a truly genuine person—he even gave us recommendations for local places to eat and took extra photos that weren’t included in our contract. Just a couple of hours after the wedding, he sent us sneak peeks of the photos and behind-the-scenes moments, which was so exciting. Two days later, we received the first look teaser, and it was amazing! Not only did we find a fantastic photography and video team, but we also felt like we were all part of the same family. I’m so grateful we chose dSide to capture our wedding—it was truly the best decision we made!

Thanks for visiting Breezy Day, we are so happy you are here! We are a sister team in San Diego, committed to helping you make your engagement & wedding day a breeze! WE CANNOT WAIT TO GET TO KNOW YOU!

We got married last weekend and Courtney, the founder of Breezy Day, was our coordinator. I truly cannot overstate how incredible she was to work with - she made ALL the difference in the day and how smooth it yet. We kept a moderate budget for a traditional wedding and did a lot of it with the help of friends and family, and I truly think that the outcome being SO good was partly because of Courtney. She was so well worth adding that line item in our budget. Her knowledge, sunny and cheerful attitude, efficiency, and thorough attentiveness made it so we could actually enjoy our wedding, instead of worrying about anything else or any little issues. Having a professional makes all the difference. She just made it all happen. If you want to relax on your wedding...she's your gal! My husband was very hesitant and resistant to having a coordinator and his view on it has completely shifted because of how great she was. She also took some fun photos for us that turned out so cute, and we have those in addition to our photographer and videographer. And, if you're looking into the Thursday Club in Point Loma, she is the preferred coordinator for a reason!! She really is the best! BOOK HER!

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.
