“DJ Will is literally the best. He was so communicative and reached out multiple times to make sure he had the latest information. Our wedding was Indian fusion and he did such a great job considering our playlists and also adapting to the crowd. The energy on the dancefloor was insane - no one could leave because the music was too good. Literally the best decision and worth the value. He adjusted the package to make sure we got the best experience at the venue. Ceremony went off without a hitch and he took cues from the Indian priest very well. Professional timing and setup. Don’t think twice about hiring Will!”

“Conner made our wedding beyond perfect. He did an amazing job with preparation and the day itself. Before the wedding, we met with him a couple times to go through his spreadsheet to map out songs and playlists on a clear timeline for the day. He was both super organized and very flexible, offering suggestions and asking questions to understand exactly what we wanted. He absolutely nailed EVERYTHING, from our ceremony songs, to cocktail hour, to reception speeches/dances/announcements, and finally music on the dance floor. We have a wide variety of friends and family with different ages and tastes in music, and he got EVERYONE (even people we thought wouldn’t dance) on the dance floor ALL throughout the night. Transitions were perfect, he kept the energy so high, and we had the best night ever. On top of all of that, he also handled the mic setup for the ceremony. Every wedding I’ve been to has had problems with the mics, or people can’t hear, but Conner set everything up perfectly and even walked our officiant through everything before the ceremony. Conner was one of the main reasons our wedding was so perfect. Thank you Conner!”

The quality of their work was just as impressive, a professional and creative approach that captured exactly what we were going for. They made sure everyone in our bridal party got to communicate what they wanted, and provided helpful advice where needed to ensure we all felt beautiful and confident.

“I found Pixel Perfect Photo Booth Co at the Bridal Bazaar in San Diego & honestly it was one of the best vendor decisions I made for my wedding. If you're looking for a wedding photo booth company in San Diego, hire Pixel Perfect! What really drew me to them over other companies was their pricing, the image quality of their photos, & the fact that they included both physical prints & digital files AND put together a physical album on the spot during our reception. I got to go home the night of my wedding with a finished album in-hand! My husband and I loved sitting down and going through it together the next day. That alone made it so worth it. They offer a good variety of service tiers so there really is something for every budget. The package I chose was called "The Chic Package with The Tuxedo Booth". All of my communication with them was done through email & I was really impressed with how quickly they responded every single time. After the wedding they also sent over the digital files fast which my guests & I appreciated greatly! I've already recommended Pixel Perfect Photo Booth Co to so many of my friends who are planning their weddings & i'd 100% hire them again in a heartbeat! If you need a wedding photo booth or a special event photo booth in San Diego, hire Pixel Perfect!!”

Within the first few minutes of our engagement session we immediately could tell we were in good hands and that our pictures would be amazing. Seeing how incredible our engagement shoot turned out only made us more excited for our wedding day. Katherine was so amazing to work with and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She was professional and punctual and even gave us great advice when discussing other areas of our wedding! Our family and friends could not stop complimenting her direction and vision the day of the wedding and Katherine was so willing to look through some inspo photos I sent her prior to the day and looked for ways to recreate them at our venue. We were absolutely floored by her work when we received the photos back. The images are so crisp and the colors are gorgeous and she gave us so much variety!

“Four Seasons Flowers was very prompt in their responses. I was able to make an appointment with Carma to go over my wishes and photos I liked. When it came to my mock creation, we had three different centerpiece designs, Karen (the designer) was there to help tweak the flowers to look exactly how we wanted it to! The work was stunning. Our photographer was happy that we went with Four Seasons because he knew the flowers would look good and have water for the hot summer day. I guess some florist's flowers do not survive long enough for the photos, while ours were gorgeous the whole day. Their team set up and delivered my flowers smoothly all day. Not one point did I ever question if the flowers were going to be there on time. They were also very friendly. I highly recommend using them!”

“We used Carlsbad Photo for our wedding and our photographer Irina was phenomenal. Neither my husband nor I were very comfortable with having our pictures taken and she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed for both our engagement and wedding. She took so many beautiful candid photographs and gave direction to make our pictures look both beautiful and natural. She was wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend her.I chose Carlsbad Photo before I even picked my dress! When you meet people with a good heart who are loving life, everything around them is that much better. Why would you not want someone like that shooting your special day when you are surrounded by everyone you love? Her energy enhances everything and she will make you laugh so much! She will help you with questions beyond photos for your big day - she has a lot of experience and literally knows everything about weddings! She was pretty much our coordinator. She instructed us when to stop and kiss after we headed out of the isle, how to cut the cake, and even how to toss my bouquet to get the most beautiful pictures!!!And to me, the best part of booking Irina is that you will have someone on your special day who truly is the TEAM BRIDE!”

“We absolutely loved having our wedding at The Thursday Club. The views are gorgeous, the space is beautiful, and it gave us exactly the kind of wedding we wanted. One of our favorite things was how much flexibility we had to make the space our own. We really wanted a circular ceremony so we could literally be surrounded by our family and friends while we got married, and Chris was completely game. He helped us figure out how to make it work in the garden, and it ended up being one of our favorite parts of the entire wedding. Standing there surrounded by everyone we love, with the ocean in the background, was incredibly special. The flow of the venue worked so well too. We had the ceremony in the garden, cocktail hour spread between the garden and terrace, and then moved inside for dinner and dancing. It felt romantic and intimate while still having plenty of room for our roughly 150 guests. The interior is beautiful on its own, plus we had separate spaces for both of us to get ready before the wedding and were able to use the stage during the reception. Chris was also just a lovely dude to work with. Before the wedding, both Ellen’s parents and my parents visited San Diego on separate weekends and wanted to see the venue. Chris welcomed both families and personally showed them around. One of those visits was even on a holiday, and he still took time out of his day to make our parents feel welcome. They were excited about the wedding and wanted to see where their kids were getting married, and the way he treated them meant a lot to us. He was also incredibly responsive and on top of things throughout planning. Venue logistics can get complicated with insurance, vendors, what you can and can’t bring in, timing, and all the random little rules you don’t think about when you first start planning a wedding. Chris flagged things early and was clear about what we needed to do, so we weren’t suddenly scrambling for insurance or discovering requirements right before the wedding. We always felt like we knew what was coming. And then there is just the setting itself. Garden ceremony, cocktails overlooking the ocean, dinner and dancing inside, all in one place. The whole evening flowed beautifully and felt so romantic. We have such good memories of The Thursday Club and are really happy we chose it. Gorgeous views, a beautiful and flexible space, and a genuinely kind person running it. Chris, thank you for taking such good care of us and our families.”

“Sound Prodigy and DJ Pat was awesome to work. The app he had us use to add music to so he could get a feel for what we like was very easy to use. He’s clearly very experienced and knew how to get the crowd energized and keep the dance floor packed all night. Their intuitive sense of the vibe and flow of the evening was spot on, and they kept the music going seamlessly through all the key moments. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to make our wedding celebration so memorable. We also booked a photo bus through him and I highly recommend that. Our guests had a great time taking pictures and you get both physical and digital copies and we had so much fun looking through everyone’s photos after the wedding. Highly recommend!”

I’m a people person. I’m observant, intuitive, and deeply inspired by real connection. I care about experiences, emotion, and the kind of moments that can’t be staged. I love photography because it’s storytelling in its purest form. It’s the ability to capture energy, emotion, and meaning in a split second. What drives me is creating images that go beyond aesthetics — photos that hold memory, movement, and feeling. For me, photography is about preserving what’s real, so you can return to it again and again.

“Maya exceeded every expectation. Her eye for detail, light, and emotion is truly exceptional. She captured our wedding day with such elegance and authenticity — every image feels intentional, refined, and full of feeling. Beyond her talent, Maya is professional, kind, and a joy to work with. Our gallery is timeless, emotional, and absolutely stunning. We would book her again in a heartbeat.”

“Hiring her was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She was truly a godsend. From day one, she was incredibly responsive, empathetic, and always available whenever I had questions or doubts. I’m not naturally a “wedding person,” yet we had a large wedding, and at times the planning process felt overwhelming. She made everything feel doable and manageable, especially during moments when I was second-guessing myself. Her calm presence and reassurance made such a difference. She brings so much experience and is so well connected in San Diego, which made coordination seamless. Most importantly, she brought my vision for our big day to life with very little for me to worry about. I was able to actually enjoy the process — and the day itself — because I trusted her completely. I highly, highly recommend her to any bride who wants a smooth, beautifully executed wedding with a coordinator who truly cares.”

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.
