We had the pleasure of working with an incredible team for our wedding, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Crystal was our Day of Coordinator, and she did an amazing job making sure everything ran smoothly. Her calm presence and attention to detail helped make our day a complete success. In the months leading up to the wedding, we also worked with Jessica, another lead coordinator, who was fantastic at keeping us organized and on track. Her guidance and support helped us feel confident that everything was under control. A huge thank you to Crystal, Jessica, and Edwin for helping bring our vision to life.

Hi, I’m Andy, the heart behind Harbor View Weddings. For more than 20 years, I’ve had the honor of helping couples celebrate one of the most important days of their lives.

Andy was the best. He made a great effort to get to know my wife and I prior to the wedding. He delivered a beautiful service that felt very personal. He even got my dad to tear up, a little. That's a hard thing to do. I am recommending him to all my friends.

The Rose Pantry

We specialize in creating memorable dining experiences that blend the vibrant flavors of Asian and Brazilian-inspired cuisine, designed to wow both the eyes and the palate. Whether you’re imagining an elegant plated dinner, a lively family-style feast, or interactive food stations, we’ll bring it to life with fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation, and impeccable service.

We hired The Rose Pantry for our wedding in Malibu this past June, and they were hands-down one of the best decisions we made! From the very first tasting, we knew they understood exactly what we wanted a classic American menu with subtle Asian and Brazilian influences to honor both of our backgrounds. Everyone is STILL talking about the pão de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread) they served during cocktail hour! We also had an amazing dessert table! The presentation was gorgeous, the staff was warm and attentive, and everything ran so smoothly that I didn’t have to stress about a thing. If you want food that’s both comforting and unique, and a team that genuinely cares about your day, look no further. Thank you for making our wedding so special!

Second Song is a boutique Wedding and Event DJ/MC service. We are a network of some of the most experienced and most referred DJ/MCs in Southern California, and specialize in DJs that focus on providing you with a complete music and planning experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a fantastic experience with Second Song and our DJ Jeff Collins for our September 14th wedding. Everyone on the Second Song team (and Rob in particular) was very responsive and communicative. The virtual meeting with DJ Jeff went smoothly, and the shared Google Doc that Second Song provided to track the event details was intuitive and easy to use. Rob and his team helped us make custom cuts of our ceremony music at no additional cost. We also booked our uplights through their team, and they were beautiful. Not only could you select the color, but the lights could also be programmed to cycle through colors for more of a party vibe. I could not recommend DJ Jeff Collins more highly. He was professional and on time, and most importantly, had incredible energy. He hit all of our requests for the evening, both for the dinner portion of the night and the dance party afterwards. He worked seamlessly with our planner and made all of the right announcements at the right time, and a large part of the evening's success was due to his energy and enthusiasm. Thank you Second Song for helping us make our wedding dreams come true! If you are on the market for a wedding DJ (or a DJ for any large event), look no further!

She captured every emotion, every little detail, and the overall vibe of our wedding perfectly. My husband and I were absolutely glowing looking through them—we felt the joy from that day all over again. She used both film and digital photographer to capture the magic! Not only is she insanely talented behind the lens, but she’s also the sweetest human ever. It’s so clear how much love she puts into her work.

Lulan’s creativity has led to his path beyond most conventional definitions. He has won 25+ wedding photography awards, named the Best Wedding Photographer in Los Angeles; while acquired advance degree in immunology and medicine from UCLA.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Lulan Studios about nine months before our wedding day. We were immediately drawn in by their professionalism and their reputation. Lulan is an inclusive photographer who was very receptive to our wedding vision. He and his team were incredibly kind, supportive, and helpful all throughout the process. We elected to go with Lulan Wang himself for our photographer who worked with an associate. After our initial consultation we were turned over to Shannon who was our go to contact for day to day clarifications and vendor contact until Lulan took over just before the wedding. Shannon was immensely resourceful and responsive. She communicated with our coordinator very efficiently and was always on top of our booking. We are very grateful to her as well for making the process so easy and for continuing that communication after the fact. On the day, Lulan and his associate were spectacular. It was clear his associate had more than enough talent for the job just like Lulan, but they divided and concurred by using two different types of cameras for different types of shots. We regret not doing an engagement session with them, but we will likely return for an Anniversary session in the future. We didn’t even need one though, because he is skilled enough that he understood us as a couple immediately. They made us feel comfortable and confident. They hyped us up and moved through the shot list masterfully. Nothing was missed and we captured far more than we expected. Please look through our attached photos as they speak for themselves. One of the most exciting moments was when Lulan handed us a little blue book filled with about fifteen physically printed preview photos DURING THE RECEPTION. A lovely surprise that absolutely shocked me. Turnover was 4-6 weeks and we got ours just before the six week mark right on schedule. We were floored. They are jaw-dropping. We ultimately got 950 photos permanently digitally available for high resolution download and access to a shop with impressive options for prints and albums of a wide array of types and sizes. I’m thrilled to show them to you here and implore you to consider booking Lulan Studios. We trusted in their ability from the beginning and we were not disappointed. They are among if not the absolute best in the business.

Seth was the best wedding DJ that we could have hoped for! We first met Seth at a wedding vendor expo event at our reception venue and were immediately impressed by the quality of his sound system and his ability to mix the selected soundtrack live. Seth is very communicative. In our first meeting with Seth, it was already immediately apparent that he was very experienced and very passionate about making our wedding day special and everything that we wanted it to be. We felt very comfortable that he knew what he was doing, and on the day of the wedding he executed flawlessly. As for the preparation work, Seth schedules multiple meetings with you leading up to your wedding day which eases a lot of the nerves heading into busy planning season. Seth also has an app that you can download on your phone which is awesome because it allows you to edit details of your wedding day timeline and playlist on-the-go as we were making decisions during the planning months. On the day of the wedding, Seth came prepared having downloaded all the music that we talked about ahead of time and he kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT (over 3 hours). Seth responded to the audience and was able to mix a variety of genres that we had requested (like country, pop, spanish music, musical songs, etc) over various sets across the evening. He also coordinated our photo booth which was a nice touch that all the guests really enjoyed and had a second person stationed there for help all night. We couldn't recommend Seth enough to other couples who are in need of a DJ! Thank you, Seth!

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so grateful to have had Randall as our photographer for both our engagement and wedding day. From start to finish, he was a dream to work with professional, warm, and so thoughtful in his approach. For our engagement session, we wanted to recreate the Japan vibes since we got engaged there, but we weren’t sure how Little Tokyo in Downtown LA would translate in photos. Randall completely exceeded our expectations. Between the Venice Canals and Little Tokyo, he perfectly captured the aesthetic we were hoping for, and the final shots were stunning. On our wedding day, Randall went above and beyond. He made my bridal party feel so at ease his presence was calm, kind, and unobtrusive, which helped all of us relax and enjoy every moment. He captured everything: the big, emotional highlights and all the small, beautiful in-between moments. Now we have a gallery full of memories that we’ll treasure forever.

If you need an organized, detail-oriented, and reliable wedding planner, we highly recommend Carissa. As busy professionals planning on an accelerated timeline (under six months), opting for her full-service package was the best decision we made. Excellent Vision & Design We initially sought out a designer in the wedding planning process, and Carissa delivered and more. We started only with vague ideas, a list of dislikes, and a general vibe for our guests but no color scheme, mood board, or concrete design. Through thoughtful questions and curated options, Carissa translated our input into a cohesive vision we loved. She brought it to life by seamlessly coordinating with our florist and helping style the groom. Expert Guidance & Execution Planning without Carissa would have been hectic. The time she saved us and the efficiency and smoothness of her execution were phenomenal. Having her at vendor and venue visits gave us peace of mind because we had someone who knew exactly what to ask and pushed the vendors to deliver. Her monthly check-ins and master checklist kept us on schedule without feeling overwhelmed. She handled most vendor correspondence, offered budget-respecting recommendations, and patiently answered our questions (big and small). Having someone to lean on for guidance and input every step of the way was invaluable for our busy schedules. A Stress-Free Wedding Day On the wedding day, Carissa’s detailed timeline that covered everything from hair and makeup arrival to vendor setups kept logistics running smoothly without any effort on our end. Her inclusion of planned breaks between events gave us quiet moments to reset, greet guests, and actually enjoy the celebration. Carissa handled behind-the-scenes issues seamlessly. When the venue set out the wrong (and clashing!) wine glasses, she caught the mistake, got the venue to reset everything to baseline before any guests sat down, and later secured us a refund for the upgrade we paid for. Even while recovering from ankle injuries that week, Carissa was fully present, coordinating with her assistants, bustling the bride’s dress, and checking in on us throughout the night. Many of our guests commented on how remarkably smooth everything went. Carissa’s organization, professionalism, and warm demeanor set her apart. We are so glad we did the full-service planning with her, and we cannot recommend her enough!

It all started for me at a very young age. In the early 90's when it was all about fashion and the super model, I would OBSESS over the style network and watch runway shows for hours. Fast forward to post high school choices I went to school for esthetics and also got a degree in natural health so that I could offer an additional layer to my makeup knowledge and services. Not soon after I graduated from school I freelanced for the best cosmetic company at that time. Five years after being a brand ambassador for M.A.C I branched off on my own to open a freelance hair and makeup artistry which I eventually moved to Caliornia.

LA Hair and Makeup did a PHENOMENAL job with my wedding hair and makeup! Ashanta (the owner) is so kind, professional, brilliant, and talented. She and her team did makeup for myself and 14 members of my wedding party, and did everything on schedule and to a very high standard of artistry. All of my bridesmaids choose pretty different makeup looks and Ashanta’s team did it all perfectly. I wanted my own hair and makeup look to be sort of vintage-inspired and natural, and I truly could not have been happier with how my bridal hair and makeup turned out— Ashanta is a genius!!

I originally found this hidden gem on Zola and I’m so glad I did. I had certain things for our wedding that we needed to have Cory and his team made it all happen. They 1000% earn all the five star reviews they have. My goal for our wedding was to have a great time and party. Cory was so accommodating and allowed us to make that happen, no problem! Even our coordinator was surprised at how easy they made the entire setup and tear down process. We had around 150 guests and we all fit great, the staff were around and had everything under control like parking and trash. They really allowed for our entire wedding day to be a blast. We had herbie the camel join us and the petting zoo for cocktail hour, nobody expected it and it was a great surprise for guests. Cory and his wife really made it about us, and with so many people coming up to us, they made pictures a breeze.

Can't say enough about the quality of James's work, his attention to detail, his professionalism, and curating the best dance party experience at our wedding!! From start to finish he was extremely prepared and provided us with all the materials needed to organize the music and run of show. As both DJ and MC, James truly went the extra mile to make our day run seamlessly, and made us feel so special. He was even accommodating to our last minute music requests and was very patient with us. In addition to being extremely professional, prepared, and organized, he is such a down-to-earth and kind, genuine person. He even captured some videos of our first dance and grand entrance that we wouldn't have had otherwise because we didn't have a videographer. This was so thoughtful and truly above and beyond! We personally added on the photo booth option and are glad we did, as it was a hit. His rates were very reasonable as well especially for the package we got. Everyone raved about James and the music. He made our wedding day exactly the party we hoped for - the most fun we've ever had! Highly recommend James & All The Above Events for your next wedding or big event.
