Essen Entertainment (DJs, LiveMusic, Photobooths, & More) was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, they were super communicative and responsive, which was so helpful during the busy wedding planning process. They listened to all of my (sometimes ridiculous!) requests and ideas and made them happen seamlessly. The music was awesome and kept the dance floor packed all night long. The transitions were so smooth and the DJ did an incredible job reading the room and keeping the energy high. Essen Entertainment truly helped make our special day extra special - I can't recommend them enough!

At first when I connected with Weddings Unlimited, I was a little confused on how the process worked in terms of getting "matched" with a photographer and DJ. But then I worked with Danielle from Weddings Unlimited and she was supportive and helpful in getting our "vibe" for what we would have wanted from both a wedding DJ and photographer. The DJ that we were paired with was Milo and he was fantastic. He checked in with me earlier on and was great at communicating and responding to our needs/requests. He brought a great vibe to the party and many of my guests complimented us for our great music selection! The photographers we were paired with were Leo, Vania and Xaiver. They were all prompt, supportive, flexible and so fun to work with! The team was very open to hearing what our vision was and worked quickly to ensure our visions (including a reenactment photo for my parents on their 45th anniversary!) were realized. I could not have asked for a more supportive photography team who worked tirelessly to capture all of our special moments (including lots of dancing!). Thank you Weddings Unlimited for ensuring we had a fantastic day!

Emily Michelle Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (33 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves La Porte, TX

Hi, I'm Emily - a journalism major drop-out turned wedding photographer that loves all things editorial and story telling. Think back to any impactful photo you've seen in the media, the key to remembering it is that it made you *feel* something, and that's what I strive to bring forward in the wedding photography industry.

Our day truly wouldn’t have been the same without this team. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond — not just capturing the big moments, but all the little ones we’ll treasure forever. Their personality was top notch: fun, genuine, and easy to be around, yet confident enough to keep everything on track without ever feeling forced. They didn’t just document the day, they became part of it. They made our families comfortable, brought laughter when we needed it, and gave us peace of mind knowing every memory was in the right hands. The photos speak for themselves, but the experience of having them by our side is what really made the difference. If you want a team that delivers more than beautiful pictures — a team that brings energy, joy, and heart to your day — look no further. Best decision we made.

A.M. Productions 
Rating: 5.0 (28 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,600
  • Serves La Porte, TX

A.M. Productions is the only Houston Wedding DJ & Entertainment company that provides talented DJs with a boutique style approach for couples who want a packed dance floor and a memorable wedding, in the era of cheesy wedding djs. We aren’t your average wedding DJ. We’re passionate, innovative and unique professional entertainers.

Don't think twice - book A.M. Productions for your wedding now!! We knew how crucial it was to book the right DJ & entertainment to deliver the energy we wanted for our wedding and they EXCEEDED our expectations. We got married in April 2025 and had DJ Forum (Alex) mixing and emceeing. Aaron (the owner) also graciously came through to ensure a smooth event. We came to learn about A.M. through a recommendation from our wedding planner. It was also validating to later see them on our venue's (The Peach Orchard) preferred vendor list! During consultation, we were drawn to their extensive services/add-ons, quality of work, and competitive pricing. We selected their Super Star package (most popular) and chose subwoofers and advanced uplighting. We also added on their photo booth which was exactly what we needed - a backdrop, self-service, no props, digital gallery, present the entire wedding, and the convenience of having it handled by the same team. Leading up to our wedding day, the A.M. production team were well-organized and provide you with a wealth of tips, resources, and instructions. We filled out their comprehensive "Wedding DJ Planner" sheet that helps them prepare and provided them playlists of 10-15 songs each for cocktail hour, dinner service, and dance floor (we used Spotify) to help inspire the mood/energy we were looking for. The wedding day was FLAWLESS! They went above and beyond, surprising us with moving heads AND a CO2 gun which was a crowd favorite. DJ Forum read the crowd amazingly and his mixes were fire. Our guests spoke very highly of them - with some intending to book A.M. for their own weddings in the future! For a complete package of professional lighting, sound, photobooth, energy, service, and more - book A.M. productions with confidence!! THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts on making our special day a moment to forever look back on with smiles all around!

Since 2017, I've been dedicated to enhancing natural beauty with a gentle touch, bringing out each client's unique radiance. As a solo artist, I focus on creating a personalized, calm experience for each bride, so while I can’t accommodate large bridal parties, I’m here to ensure that you feel both beautiful and serene as you prepare to walk down the aisle. Specializing in soft glam, I believe in enhancing—not masking—your natural beauty, whether you desire a subtle glow or a soft full glam look. Every bride deserves to feel her most confident, no matter their skin type or concerns.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jackie was hands down the sweetest lady to work with! She is so talented at what she does. The BEST MU artist. My group of girls were definitely a hand full to work with (as a bride, I let them choose to pay for their own H&MU if they wished to have it done, and a few changed their minds wanting both services done, and Jackie accommodated each girl without hesitation and made a new timeline for us). I was going insane, but she made working with her run so smoothly it put my mind at ease. Jackie is very professional, well mannered, shows up on time, and gives you EXACTLY the look you are wanting. She seriously shows up for all her clients, even if it means waking up at the crack of dawn to glam an event and then drive hours to come and glam you (the bride and your party), she shows up!! I couldn’t be happier to have chosen Jackie as our MU artist. Definitely recommend hiring her for your next MU needs!!

I'm a former teacher making the exciting transition into the wedding industry here in Houston! With my background in organization, creativity, and working closely with people, I’m bringing a fresh perspective to wedding planning. I’m passionate about creating meaningful experiences and making your big day stress-free and unforgettable!

From our first conversation with Rania, we knew we had found the right wedding coordinator for us. She communicated with us in a conversational way that made everything feel easy, and whenever we had a question or concern, she got back to us quickly with solutions already thought through. On our wedding day, Rania brought a level of peace that I didn't know was possible—anything I could think of, she had already handled it. My mom still talks about how Rania brought us drinks right after the ceremony and made sure the first plates of food came straight to our table, which meant so much to us. Her work was creative and meticulous in every detail, and her reliability gave us the confidence to actually enjoy our day instead of worry about it. We can't thank Rania enough for making our wedding feel special and stress-free from start to finish.

Let me first say this venue is absolutely stunning! My fiance' and I were looking for a place that needed minimal decor and we stunted across Ashton Gardens will looking through The Knot. The chapel is gorgeous and the windows really do set the tone for an elegant wedding! The reception hall which is just a few steps away is equally beautiful, not needing really anything at all to enhance the look. My wedding planner is Sheila and she has been fabulous along the way. With the being my FIRST and ONLY marriage, I have so many questions and believe me I had emailed Sheila probably more than I text my fiance, but she is super sweet and has answered every question I had without any hesitation. The service is amazing and I really could have not prayed for a better venue; mind you I looked at 30 locations across the Texas area.

My Make-Up journey started 8 years ago when my moms client asked me to do makeup for her wedding. Since I always did mine she figured I could do her’s and that was a No. I had never done anyone but myself. After a little convincing I did 3 Foundation Matches on her to make sure I had the right color. After that wedding I began to take classes because I knew if I wanted to be a great artist I would have to learn the skill and understand the business. Taking the degree in Marketing that I had earned from Texas Southern University and the Master’s in Business Administration i poured it all in to my new established business .

Working with Bre was an amazing experience! From the very beginning, she understood my vision and matched my excited energy. Per usual, I decided to tweak a few things and Bre was ready to help make sure our wedding flowers exceeded expectations. On the day of our wedding, she did an absolutely amazing job and provided the “wild garden” vibes I had been searching for. More importantly, when surprises arose (like the grooms boutonnière wilting from the intense heat), she handled it like a boss and had a replacement ready to go in minutes. I could actually go on and on about how much I loved working with Bre!! I couldn’t recommend her enough. If you want vendors who feel like your friends, you’ll find that in her!

We got married in April here and it was amazing! The venue is beautiful and there is a lot of space. My planner, Madison, was very helpful during the process and would answer any questions I had. Our coordinators Janeen and Jackie were awesome! They helped make the day flow perfectly and if we needed anything they were on top of it! The DJ was great as well and was included in the package. The only compliant I have was that they ran out of food even though less people showed up then in our final guest count. We got the steak option and it was delicious but the portions they gave out were small and they somehow still ran out...

When I tell y'all that Manny is your wedding bestie, there is no other way to describe it!! I had the incredible opportunity to shadow Manny during a recent wedding, and I can't express enough how inspiring the experience was! From the moment we arrived, their passion for photography and attention to detail were evident. He was able to be quick on his feet and to think immediately what need to be done to get multiple shots and poses within a structured timeline, he is definitely gifted with a quickness to think, not many can do that! Manny has an amazing ability to capture genuine emotions and candid moments, making each shot feel alive and personal. Manny truly has an eye for unique angles and beautiful lighting that truly sets their work apart. I was in awe of how he seamlessly blended into the festivities, making everyone feel at ease while still capturing those breathtaking moments. Not only is Manny a true artist, but his professionalism and creativity shines through in every aspect of his work. He communicated brilliantly with the couple, groomsmen, guests, and so on for ensuring that everything flowed smoothly. The final images are nothing short of magical, encapsulating the love and joy of the day. I learned so much from watching him in action, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.

With Kaity Campbell Events, you will have a truly luxurious customer experience from the moment you sign your contract all the way up to your event day, and even beyond. We believe that every wedding should be a reflection of your unique love story, and we are here to ensure that every detail is perfectly tailored to your desires. Our passion for creating unforgettable experiences, combined with our industry expertise, allows us to curate a seamless and stress-free wedding day that exceeds your expectations. Being able to create an event that is truly yours, and has all the elements you care about, is why I started doing what I do.

Kaity did a great job, especially considering all the uncertainty of bad weather (my ceremony was outdoors) we had to all deal with. She always had an upbeat and positive attitude the whole time, which I know can be very difficult to do around my family. She definitely would just roll with all the punches to keep us on track. I was anxious the entire day, but Kaity reassured me that she had everything under control and I knew I could trust her. She even went out of her way to get me and my husband little care packages on the day of, with inspiring notes. The only hiccups I actually noticed was with announcements and speeches, because the volume and echo was not great, so people didn't know when things were actually happening, so I wish we could've told the DJ sooner to fix the issue. We had also wanted to have our dinners boxed up, because my husband and I were both too anxious and excited to really eat, so our food ended up being thrown away, plus we didn't receive the top tier of our wedding cake to save for the tradition thing (but my guess is because they served it all to the guests). Unfortunately, at the end of the night, we were super rushed to get everything out of the building, because of the time and the pouring rain- I was running around barefoot in my dress while my husband was passed out in the car, and I was one of the few trying to get everything packed and cleaned up. However, Kaity and her husband really helped us out by collecting all the left items and holding onto them for us until the next day. She kept in contact, since at least a month beforehand, to make sure we had everything in order and sent her all the vendor contacts , so she could be included with all the day-of plans. She really did go above and beyond to make sure I had the best day possible, and I really appreciated that from her. I would definitely hire her again.

We absolutely ADORE Carlos Ramirez and his Photo Booth Assistant, Sofia! It was sheer luck that we found him, and he was absolutely perfect in every way. Carlos made contact with us regularly, walked us through how to use the Vibo app, worked with our venue coordinators at Crystal Ballroom at the Rice (Alexis Kent), worked with our planners at Whimsical Creative (Jen Molina), had a week-of call to finalize details and asked us all the right questions, listened to all our needs, and gave great suggestions for things that made our night special that never would have even occurred to us! Oh… and the lighting he provided in the ballroom was spectacular! Our venue and planner are even adding him to their preferred vendor list, which makes me so happy to know. I really can’t praise Carlos and Sofia enough! They read the crowd with perfect accuracy. The dance floor was never empty, and the photo booth was in constant use. Our guests had an absolute blast! Carlos is not only a great artist but now a new friend.

EC Entertainment was amazing to work with for our wedding! Their communication was top-notch - they always made sure my husband and I were in the loop and happy. DJ American Ryan was incredible - he got everyone on the dance floor and even joined us out there to get the party started! The photo booth was also a huge hit with our guests and I'm so glad we added that on. I would highly recommend EC Entertainment to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated team to make their wedding day special.

Velura Events was absolutely phenomenal to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication style was direct and clear, which we really appreciated as it helped us stay organized and on track. The quality of their work and overall value was excellent and superior. Rincy, our lead planner, made me feel like I was in a dream all day long because the Velura team handled every detail so seamlessly. The day flowed so smoothly, and Rincy provided such valuable advice whenever we had questions about logistics or vendor selection. We are so grateful to the entire Velura team for making our special day perfect in every way.
