JBQAV is an audiovisual rental business serving the Bay Area and beyond. Now offering DJ/Emcee services too! We strive to achieve excellent customer satisfaction! JBQAV has been consistently providing excellent service to our valued clients since 2012.

We didn't want a DJ for our wedding since it was more of a banquet and less than a party. We basically asked for speakers and some microphones, and Jaron provided us with exactly that! Delivery and pickup was very simple. Communication was amazing, and he made sure we didn't have to worry about anything, including how to operate the tech!

Hi, I'm Jenn Petty. I'm a wedding photographer based in Monterey, California and I travel worldwide capturing all people's love stories. I believe in equality, representation, and being kind to everyone. I believe in promoting self-love, confidence, body-neutrality, and general badassery into each of my clients. You don't need to always love your body or the way you look because that's just not realistic. But you shouldn't let it hold you back from enjoying life because you're so amazing and so so much more than your weight

JeLau Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From the very first time we spoke, the owner Jen was so helpful, direct, and kind - making the entire process leading up to the big day smooth and stress-free. On the day itself, Jen kept me feeling calm and on schedule, and made every moment fun and enjoyable. The quality of their work is truly outstanding - the photos are absolutely beautiful and captured the perfection of our special day. Jen is an amazing person which makes her amazing to work with, and we are so grateful to have had her as our wedding photographer. We couldn't recommend JeLau Photography more highly!

They are so down to earth, sweet and incredibly accommodating and felt like instant friends. If you are on the fence on hiring the Wedding Crashers, DO IT! They were a huge hit with our guests and now my husband and I are plotting ways to get some goats of our own! 10/10 Recommend having your wedding at The Brothers Ranch! You will have incredible pictures and beautiful memories that will last a lifetime!

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.

Working with Karla for our wedding was amazing from beginning to end. From our first phone call, she understood my vision and was able to translate it into a detailed work order with transparent pricing. I didn’t even want to shop around after talking to her - I knew I could trust her to execute! Karla was able to create two distinct looks for our wedding with just a few hours of flip time. She and her team worked incredibly hard to design and set up hundreds of bud vases, over 1000 candles, a beautiful ceremony drapery installation, and more - she really made our dreams come to life. Karla’s professionalism shone through the entire process; she went above and beyond to take in new ideas from me, meet my family, and make sure I always felt comfortable with the process. I’m so incredibly glad that I met Karla, and I recommend her to anyone looking for an incredible florist and partner for their event!

Jules has an affinity for nostalgia, Design and a good party. with a background in art and design, she loves lots of color and loves a design challenge. She’s an instinctive connector who loves to bring people together in and out of her professional life, and that led her to event planning. When she’s not planning an epic event you can find her on an Adventure with her husband and daughter or at an estate sale in the Bay Area. she loves hunting for treasures, jumping into water and is a dancing queen

I put so much care, hope, and, admittedly, pressure on Jules and her team to deliver the day-of coordination for our wedding, and she did not disappoint. Throughout the planning process, Jules was a constant source of calm. She was always willing to step in when needed, a great person to bounce ideas off of, and incredibly honest about what was realistic in terms of time and scope. I am a very detail-oriented person and handed over a 21-page PDF covering styling, seating, scheduling, inventory, and approximately a million other details (truly over the top!), and Jules executed everything to the highest degree. She took all of those details seriously while also being honest with me about what was and wasn’t possible. When the scope of work changed, she was transparent and communicative, and we were able to bring on additional assistants to make sure everything got done. Most importantly, Jules gave me the ability to actually relax and enjoy my wedding day. I knew I was in good hands, and I was able to be fully present and enjoy every minute instead of worrying about logistics. She went above and beyond in every way, and I truly could not recommend Jules and her team more highly!

Located on a working ranch in San Juan Bautista, we are just 40 minutes south of San Jose, 30 minutes east of the coastal towns of Santa Cruz, Monterey and Carmel-by-the-Sea, and on the doorstep of a historic Mission town, a wine trail, and an array of outdoor recreation areas.

The setting is spectacular. We had 80 guests who came from all over and we had a beautiful October evening wedding. We were married in the driveway overlooking the San Juan Valley and Gablan Mountains, had our reception in the courtyard, and dinner by the pool. We brought in our own vendors (caterers, dj, photographer, florist) and MVR was very accommodating - always there to help, but not in the way. Our guests really enjoyed the town of San Juan and access to the Monterey Penninsula. We made a weekend of it! Best day ever.

The dance floor was full the entire time. His mixes and mashups were playful, high energy, and age appropriate, and his professional setup sounded great in our dome space.

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. :)

My style of photography is rooted in photojournalism, influenced by the fine arts. The result is creative, clean, and crisp wedding photography that’s romantic, emotional, and lively. I transform your wedding day mementos into personalized works of art while also capturing subtle yet powerful expressions as they naturally unfold.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment I found Danieka Erasmus of Picturist Photography, I knew I wanted her to photograph our wedding. I was searching for photographers in the Monterey Bay area and came across her Instagram, and I immediately fell in love with the way she captured not only the beauty of the nature around her, but real, genuine moments between people. Her photos had this way of capturing the subtle, in-between moments, and that was exactly what I wanted for our wedding. From our first conversations, Danieka was incredibly sweet and so easy to talk to. We were planning a very small wedding, and the whole process could definitely be overwhelming at times. She helped give us a sense of what to expect photography-wise throughout the day and provided guidance when we needed it, which made everything feel so much easier. On the wedding day, she was amazing. She was professional, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive to detail. She captured things I wouldn't have even thought to ask for. Even our guests commented on how meticulous she was about capturing all the little details and really documenting the entire essence of the day. My husband and I also aren't people who naturally feel comfortable in front of a camera, but Danieka made it feel so easy. We never felt overly posed or awkward. She would give us just enough direction and then let us be together naturally, whether that was walking, talking, laughing, or just taking everything in. Some of my favorite photos are those moments where we were simply focused on each other and almost forgot the camera was there. One of the things I appreciate most is how many beautiful candid photos she captured of our guests. My husband and I were so wrapped up in each other that there was so much happening around us that we didn't get to see. Looking through our photos afterward and seeing our friends and family smiling, laughing, and genuinely having such a great time was incredibly special. Danieka gave us a chance to see our wedding from a perspective we never would have had otherwise. When we finally received our gallery and sat down to look through it together, it genuinely felt like reliving our wedding day from beginning to end. We got to experience the big moments again, but we also got to discover all these little moments we had missed. I could not be happier with our photos. Danieka didn't just photograph what our wedding looked like. She captured what it felt like. I am so incredibly grateful that we found her and that these are the photographs we'll have to remember that day for the rest of our lives.

Paige A does an amazing job managing vendors (multiple of them came up to us after the wedding to tell us how much they liked working with her, and how great of a communicator she was) and ensuring that you can really relax and enjoy your wedding rather than worrying about logistical details. Our wedding had the additional challenge of being in an area with no cell reception (Big Sur) and Paige A did an amazing job managing logistics in this challenging environment, including arranging shuttles to transport 100 people for multiple events. It’s clear to see that Paige A is great at her job and that she also enjoys the process. If you’re looking for someone to help execute your wedding vision, look no further!

I have worked with Claire for over 8 years at multiple venues and seen her shine doing what she loves. There is not a single detail that will go unnoticed with her in charge. Weddings are second nature to her and she is careful to address all logistics beginning to end. Every couple who has hired her as a coordinator loves her and feels as if she is their best friend the day of. She goes above and beyond and will assist with everything she possibly can including (but not limited to) creating and following a sensible timeline, clear communication between vendors and couple family / wedding party, bustling dresses, bringing her emergency supply kit in case ANY unexpected incident should arise, and will manage the day without the client even knowing what is happening behind the scenes. Claire was born to be a coordinator and you will be the best hands with her on your day!

They helped facilitate our schedule and were incredibly flexible with any spontaneous requests. I highly recommend their services and would give their work a rating of 100 out of 10. Nothing but positive vibes from Drew Zavala Photography!

Working with Melina was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Beyond her incredible talent, she has a rare gift for reading the energy of a room. On a day that can feel like a whirlwind, she was my anchor; she instinctively knew exactly when I needed a quiet moment to reflect and helped me stay grounded and calm. The photos themselves are breathtaking. She didn't just capture us; she captured the spirit of our guests and the genuine joy of the entire day. She even waded into the river, getting her feet wet without a second thought, just to get the perfect shot. If you want a photographer who is as dedicated to your peace of mind as she is to her craft, look no further!

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.

We loved working with Terri to design our wedding florals. She did such an amazing job and gave us exactly what we envisioned—bright, colorful, and whimsical. Terri is a great communicator and gave great suggestions for things we otherwise would have overlooked. Absolutely the best!
