Just wanted to say a bit about G. He did our engagement shoot and we are blown away!!! This guy is not only amazing with a camera, but he also kept things relaxed, which was great because I'm usually not the best with cameras around. The photos came out very nice too!! He also delivered the photos quickly, which was a nice surprise. If you're looking for a photographer who's easygoing and skilled, G's worth checking out. Looking forward to our wedding :)

TLDR: we highly recommend McCoy Wedding Photography! We were referred to Kay McCoy through a friend who had amazing wedding photos so we knew her services could be trusted.

The photos were delivered in about 8 weeks, and they turned out perfectly! Kay captured a great variety of shots throughout the day, including some creative and artistic exposure photos that added a unique touch to our gallery. We didn’t want traditional, overly bright, or boring photos, and Kay really delivered something special. The overall quality, professionalism, and turnaround time exceeded our expectations. We’re so glad we chose her to capture such an important day. You won’t be disappointed!

Choosing Joyfully Co. for our wedding planning services was the BEST decision we made throughout the entire wedding planning. Blaire was a phenomenal wedding planner in that she was incredibly flexible, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process. My husband and I changed our minds about a hundred times on hotel venue vs small elopement and even went back and forth between several venues. Blaire was never impatient with us and truly wanted us to have the best day. The wedding day itself was perfect. I could not have hoped for a more organized, effortless, and stress-free experience. Throughout the day, Blaire and Sharon checked up on all of our guests and made sure their needs were met. They checked on us and asked if we needed anything, they handled all minor issues flawlessly and kept us informed so we felt none of the stress. Absolutely will be recommending Joyfully Co. to all of my family and peers for their weddings. Thank you again for a phenomenal experience, and I look forward to working with your team again for future birthdays and large parties!

Christina was one of the first vendors I booked through Zola and I am so lucky and happy to have found her! I wanted to have both live music and a DJ set at the reception, and many people told me I couldn’t for varrying reasons. But when I found L Rock Entertainment’s page, I knew it was the perfect fit for my dream wedding. Christina has amazing DJ skills and plays guitar and sings beautifully! We customized the package to have her duo Modern Highway play for cocktail hour then the DJ set. She was very communicative throughout the whole process, helping me with my timeline as I planned my own wedding. The day of, the band played beautiful guitar live during our first look, something we didn’t plan but Christina went with the flow like a true professional. The live music was perfect for cocktail hour and then DJ set was BANGING! Everyone on the dance floor came up to me at some point complimenting her perfect beat matching and transitions. She not only played our must-have songs, but also incorporated requests seamlessly. Even the neighbors complimented the tunes and don’t complain about the noise! Christina is kind, patient, professional, warm, talented, caring, and creative - everything you could possibly want from your music team. If we ever need a DJ for a future event, she’s at the top of our list. Book her now!

My name is Dominiq and I have been in the wedding industry since 2006. I absolutely LOVE what I do. My middle name is Jakob so my name is literally DJ, I was born for this. I have 6 sisters so not only do I love what I do, but I believe in it as a hopeless romantic at heart. I enjoy bringing together families and friends to forget about their problems for a day and just enjoy life and celebrate.

We first met DJ Dominiq at a wedding expo in 2017 and were immediately sold! He was high energy, versatile, personable, and had the same vision for our reception which was a non-stop party atmosphere! From the start, he was an excellent communicator and was very organized to ensure we had every song played at the right time and that no songs were played that we did not want. He help us capture some fun pictures, got us some drinks from the bar, and even came out break dancing on our dance floor! He was able to capture our music taste (country) and mix it with fun party music, which was SO AWESOME! Our guests still talk about the experience he created on our special day 7 YEARS ago! Both my sister and brother have used him as well for their weddings since he really is that good! Booking him is the EASIEST and BEST decision anyone can make. The absolute best in this business!

Our goal for your wedding day is simple: to capture all the genuine, heartfelt moments between you and your loved ones. At the same time, I’ll gently guide you to create stunning scenes where the light, scenery, and you shine perfectly. Capturing your guests’ experiences is the other half of the equation—almost as important as the two of you. When you look back at your gallery, you’ll relive all the amazing moments you might have missed. I’m all about creating timeless photos that will grace your parents’ mantel for the next 40 years. I want to help you preserve those memories and ensure they’re never forgotten.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our first conversation with Adam Levinstein Photography, we knew we had found the right fit (we were also referred to Adam by a friend)! He listened closely to what we wanted and responded to every question quickly and thoughtfully, which made planning feel easy and stress-free. During our engagement shoot and on the day of our wedding, Adam and his team went above and beyond—he helped my husband feel comfortable in front of the camera despite being shy about photoshoots, and he helped recommend the perfect location for our bridal party photos when we weren't sure where to go. Their work is truly professional yet fun and adventurous, capturing moments that feel authentic and special. The team was super accommodating in helping us capture everything about our wedding that we wanted, from the shot list to also capturing memories in the moment. The cherry on the top was having polaroid prints of photos that were taken THAT day were printed and placed in our sweethearts' table floral arrangements as a surprise and delight! We were blown away with the sneak peeks that arrived on Monday after our Friday evening wedding—the photos were absolutely beautiful and we can't wait to see the rest. Adam and his team made our wedding day better in so many ways, and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for a photographer who genuinely cares.

"I am still in awe. 100/10 absolutely phenomenal. Thank you for above & beyond service. BOOK HIM you will not regret it." -Reese Free. As you compare performers, you likely wonder what makes one a better fit than another. Of course, musical skill is important. This is something I've developed in my 15 years of playing. But there's more than that—it's the ability to fit seamlessly with a DJ, to connect with vendors behind the scenes to minimize weight on your shoulders, to deliver your important songs in a way that accentuates the emotions of the moment. With Seps, you can expect a performance of a lifetime, with the easiest prep imaginable.

Tyler was absolutely incredible! Having a live saxophone player at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made—and Tyler was the perfect choice. From start to finish, he brought so much energy, soul, and fun to the party. He knew exactly when to step in with the music to elevate the vibe, and when to let the moment breathe—never too much, never too little. His timing and feel were spot-on. Funny enough, we actually went to the same college—what are the chances? Such a small world, and it made the connection even more special. Super talented, very professional, and just an all-around great presence to have on the day. Our guests are still talking about how cool it was that we had the sax! Highly, highly recommend Tyler!

From the moment we first spoke, I knew that Ashley was everything I was looking for. She is professional, organized, and full of creative ideas.

We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, patient, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect, look no further than Ashley.

If you're reading reviews questioning on if you should hire Serenity, let this be your sign as a YES DO IT HIRE HER SHE IS AMAZING! There are so many words I could use to describe Serenity and her teams services they provide but I wouldn't have enough room, she is the kindest, sweetest, most detail oriented person we have met. We hired Serenity earlier this year to be the day of coordinator for our wedding and not only was her price fantastic but what she offers with her packages is even better. She was with us from the moment we put down the deposit. She answered every email we sent her within a day and was always so bright and full of light. She took over all communications with all vendors 2 weeks prior to our wedding to relieve some stress and it definitely did, on day of she stayed in communication with both of us and even when the bride was running a tad bit late she did everything in her power and got us back on schedule! She made the day so magical and got every request done and even more. She kept all the vendors in order and even our other vendors were calling us the following day say how great it was to work with her and she made it so easy for them too. We plan on using her again for any other event we need her for and will be recommending her to anyone and everyone. Thank you for everything you're amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better coordinator.

We got married in March of 2024 at the Ebell Club of Santa Ana. We’re so lucky that someone as thoughtful and organized as Claudia was our wedding coordinator. As a husband/wife duo who manage the execution of films and commercials for a living, we had high expectations for the coordinator of our own wedding. We’re glad to say that Claudia did not disappoint us once in the 9 months that we worked together! (Honestly, we were impressed since Day 1, when she shared with us that her past profession was in the Quality Assurance field.) Claudia was detail-oriented, punctual, and communicative the entire time. For a "day-of" wedding coordinator, she absolutely went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable wedding. We are so grateful to her and can’t recommend her enough for anyone who’s looking.

My Name is Cesar [DJ Czar] I have been djing for 15+ years. My passion for music started at a young age with a heavy influence from my family. As I grew older, the passion for music translated to learning to play different instruments which lead me to DJing. 15 years later, I’ve been able to help create unforgettable memories for my clients. Every client receives personalized planning consultations, custom timeline creation, and seamless coordination with your venue and vendors. We proudly offer bilingual MC services (English & Spanish) and arrive fully insured with professional-grade equipment designed to look as good as it sounds.

I had the pleasure of experiencing DJ Cezar's incredible talent at my friend's multi-cultural wedding, which blended Korean and Mexican traditions. He masterfully incorporated contemporary hits along with cultural favorites, ensuring the entire crowd stayed energized and engaged. Having attended over 30 weddings in the past few years, I understand the critical role a DJ plays in setting the vibe and keeping the dance floor alive. Hiring DJ Cezar for my own wedding was an easy decision, and he exceeded all expectations. Our guest list spanned various age groups and backgrounds, with attendees traveling from Michigan, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, speaking both Spanish and English. DJ Cezar seamlessly catered to everyone, creating a lively and joyful atmosphere from dinner through the last dance. His ability to read the crowd and keep the energy high made our special day unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend DJ Cezar to anyone looking for a DJ who can effortlessly blend diverse music styles and keep guests entertained all night long.

Paru did an amazing job giving me an old hollywood style hairdo and makeup. We got together to practice ahead of time and then recreated it the morning of my wedding. I was very happy!
