Definitely, recommended if you’re on a tight budget. Our wedding theme was Simple Elegant. We’re both minimalist. We drive down from AZ, great thing we managed to pack light for the decor etc., our friends helped too. Hands down! Working with Keli for 9 months has been rewarding. She is great a communicator, a team player, attentive to details, visionary, flexible and supportive. She is not a typical salesman. You will not burnt out your wallet with this venue. No hidden fees. This don’t happen all the time, surprisingly, we paid less than what we originally budgeted for. That alone is a blessing! On the wedding day, her team was so kind to working with us during the ceremony, we were 30 mins delay and had to push back the lunch schedule as well. We did not get extra charged. They took care of my high anxiety with their patience. The food was 100% amazing. Great choice ordering the lemon chicken and beef brisket buffet style. Our wedding guests could not stop talking about the delicious meal. The space was indeed what we asked for any sizes of 50-300 guests. We had 120 guests attended on a Saturday afternoon (paid for 150 people), there were still plenty of space inside and available seatings. The outside was stunning. People love the Mountain View background and greenery golf grass. I enjoy the easy access to the parking lot and clubhouse. We brought our own desserts which saved us a ton of money. They provided microphones, iPhone adapter for our iPhone Spotify playlist songs, a podium, refrigerator, table cloths, easel, and extra outside set up tables all for free of charged. I can go on and on! Bottom line I don’t have bad news to say about this venue. Give her a call, be up front what you’re looking for, she’ll work with your budget.

Katie Clare Photography

  • Photographer

  • Starts at $2,100
  • Serves Lakeside, CA

I was raised in the Sierra Nevada foothills of California. I was drawn to photography in middle school and would enter photos of our family pets or family backpacking trips in our local county fair. My passion for photography grew while working as a hiking guide in Yosemite National Park. I mean… who wouldn’t want a stunning photo of Half Dome? El Capitan? Yosemite Falls? But it has been photographing wedding and couples that I find the most fun and rewarding. I have found loving hearts, wild souls, and adventurous spirits to be my people. I strive to visually capture the “spirit” of my subjects and record an emotional memory of the occasion.

Working with Katie for our wedding was an absolute dream!! Her communication was perfect, efficient, clear, and professional from start to finish. The quality of their work was truly magical, dreamy, out of this world, and amazing. I never felt like she didn't know exactly what she was doing. I would recommend Katie to anyone and everyone looking for a photographer who will capture the beauty and joy of their special day!!

  • Serves Lakeside, CA

Hey there, I'm DJ Preston! My DJ journey began at 15, and it's been an incredible ride ever since. Starting in 1995, I spun tracks for school dances, bars, and clubs, then moved into radio, spending 8 years on air. I've performed at award shows, corporate events, weddings, and traveled the country for nightclub gigs, even sharing stages with big-name artists. Recently, I was honored as one of the best wedding DJs in San Diego by California Wedding Day in 2024. I love creating unforgettable atmospheres where everyone can dance and have an amazing time.

We interviewed several DJ's before settling on DJ Preston for our wedding at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. We were impressed with Preston's responses to our interview, we could tell he cared about attention to detail and enjoyed his craft. On the day of the wedding Preston was an absolute professional. The music was the perfect volume from pre-ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner to dancing. The audio for all speeches was perfect as well. I heard from several of our guests "the DJ was great!" so what else is there to say? I didn't have much banter with Preston before or after the wedding, but if you're looking for a professional who pays attention to the details and delivers a great set, then Preston is your guy! He did a great job reading the vibe for our dollar dance and facilitating an amazing night. Thanks Preston!!

Im a San Diego based wedding photographer who specializes in shooting film. I love shooting in natural light and capturing people as they are. I try not to pose but to create photos that tell your story as a couple.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so happy we chose Colman as our wedding photographer! We can't stop looking at all the beautiful photos from our wedding at Scripps Seaside Forum, a somewhat atypical venue that Colman (and his second photographer Miro) did a great job shooting at. Colman is so friendly and really put us at ease thoughout the whole process, and was flexible in accommodating our desire to balance some great posed photos with also having plenty of time to enjoy ourselves and talk to our guests. He was also extraordinarily generous in taking several glamour shots of our guests which have been so fun to send out to our loved ones. We also appreciated the included engagement shoot prior to the wedding, which aside from the photos provided an opportunity for us to get to know Colman a little before the hectic wedding day. Colman shoots on both film and digital, which we love, and the product is the perfect combination of elevated and natural. We have some gorgeous traditional shots, some really fun ones, and several beautifully artistic ones that we'll cherish forever. They feel timeless and capture all the joy of our wedding day. We are so grateful and highly recommend Colman!

From the very first phone call, sticking with us two years later, and finally having our wedding, Dennis and Marlon were AMAZING!!! Dennis knew exactly what to play from the ceremony music to reception to get everyone moving and grooving. My husband and I are from the Bay Area and we had one request - Hyphy music. Boy did Dennis deliver! He was playing hit after hit of all the bangers, and the only reason we stopped dancing was due to timing and we had to cut the music. He listened to our very specific song requests, great communication/professionalism throughout, and just the absolute best! Marlon is a vibe!! He also stepped in to make sure everything was going smoothly. We truly appreciate all of his efforts throughout the night to keep things on schedule. He was also taking pictures throughout the night which we loved!! My family and friends could not stop saying how wonderful he was. Having a wedding with this dynamic duo is a MUST! Thank you both for everything and making sure our day was one we could truly remember. We are filled with nostalgia and awe, and have you both to thank for it!

Yadira was AMAZING!!! She did my wedding in April 2024!! Responsive, flexible, is a great listener and gives you the feedback you need to hear based on her expertise. She’s organized and won’t leave you in the dust. I had very specific requests of wanting lots of English roses, Dave Austin’s to be exact. She sourced them and ensured they were all creamy: not too yellow, not too pink, just perfect. Step by step, she was in communication with flower names, candle selections, and honest suggestions that would work with the floor plan. I didn’t have a wedding planner so ensuring that I had an honest, prompt, and reliable florist/vendor was crucial - Yadira showed up as planned and I dropped dead on the floor with her masterpiece. She’s extremely talented and happy I found her when knee deep in searching. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you are looking for a professional florist that can do anything in your wildest dreams within your budget! I still swoon over our wedding flowers that were still beautiful the following day. My brother is getting married soon and they are also using her!!

  • Venue
  • Up to 150 guests

An event at Flora presents itself polished and turnkey with features like wainscot walls, custom doors, and bespoke furnishings. Visualize lofted ceilings, a 70-foot long living wall, two 12-foot custom skylights, hanging garden chandeliers, and over 130 plants. The amenities give the venue a life of its own with a state of the art sound system, wooden house tables, chairs, movable partitions, and built-in color LED lighting. To top it off, Flora blends an entirely renovated interior with original, exposed wood beams from its initial construction in 1922 as a tribute to our past. We invite you to walk the botanically-lined path of Flora’s entrance and into a space unlike that of any San Diego event venue before it - we have made a statement; make yours at Flora.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Lush gardens
  • Pets can join the celebration
  • Historic touches

Venue considerations

  • No free parking
  • No on-site bridal suite
  • No all-inclusive dining options
Choosing Flora as our venue was by far one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We initially had viewed other downtown San Diego locations and just happened to find them and get them on the schedule, and it was absolutely the right decision. Full disclosure up front, they do have a relatively strict contract regarding the rules and regulations of the venue. With that being said, their team was incredibly open and responsive in having conversations about the contract, and personalized it when we identified some very specific circumstances as it related to us. Due to a smaller guest count we were owed money after the wedding, and we received the check in the mail, along with the security deposit, two days after the event had taken place which was a great weight off our shoulders. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The live foliage indoors with the skylights immediately sold us as soon as we entered the building. The floor layout is perfect for small to mid-sized guest counts, with ours seating 80 people perfectly. With the gorgeous tables, chairs, and other décor housed on-site it makes planning rentals and decorations that much easier not needing to deal with outside vendors. The staff could not have been more professional if we had asked. Katherine, Jameson, Erin, and the rest of their team were consistently responsive in the planning and execution of the wedding, constantly providing feedback and information when it was required. We had a handful of elderly/handicapped guests, and Jameson personally went to each and every one of them throughout the night to ensure that if there was anything they needed it would be taken care of. Especially on the day-of the wedding, Jameson was absolutely exceptional along with the bar staff in ensuring that transitions went smoothly and the guests had a great experience. He was always available for a phone call or email, and worked with us directly in problem solving and brainstorming ideas to make our day as special as possible. There have been countless guests who have given us feedback on how great the bar service was, which we could not have been happier with. All-in-all, Flora was an incredible venue to host our special day. We cannot give their team and the location better recommendations for couples looking to have a downtown San Diego wedding.

Welcome to The Dainty Daydream, where together we create beautifully styled gatherings- from romantic elopements in the mountains to breathtaking ceremonies in national parks or elegantly curated weddings closer to home. With a creative eye and attention to detail, we bring your vision to life seamlessly, from planning to execution- wherever your love story takes you.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Emily from Dainty Daydream for my wedding, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. I originally found her on Zola and hired her for day-of setup and design support—but she ended up being so much more than that. From the very beginning, Emily was incredibly responsive and kind, answering questions and offering guidance in the months leading up to our big day. We really dove in a month before the wedding to finalize all the details. I had already designed and chosen the decor myself, and Emily took everything I envisioned and brought it to life beautifully. On the wedding day, she handled setup and styling with such care and professionalism. Every detail was perfect, and walking into the finished space felt like stepping into my dream. Emily is sweet, calming, and so easy to work with. Dainty Daydream is a truly special company, and having her as part of our vendor team was one of the best decisions we made. If you’re looking for someone to bring your wedding vision to life with grace, precision, and heart—Emily is the one!

My name is Makenzi but most people call me M.J. I am a Destination Wedding and Elopement photographer that travels all over the country to beautiful destinations to witness the greatest love stories! My photography style is warm, vibrant, and authentic. I love working with all different types of individuals (that become friends) and capturing some of the most unforgettable moments through my lens. I like to create a comfortable space for my clients to be completely themselves in order to capture candid moments that tells their story! My career is photography, but my passion is people.

The quality of their work was breathtaking - they captured the classic and creative details of the couples special day with a great eye for detail. They were easy to work with, seamlessly flowed with our brides schedule, and their photos truly told the story of our the wedding.

Chelsea Rose Beauty

My name is Chelsea Ravansari, owner and artist of Chelsea Rose Beauty. I've been working in the beauty industry as a hair & makeup artist for 10+ years. I am also now a self-care coach. I create calming pampering experiences for brides in the chair and coach them through bridal wellness outside of the chair. Please stay in touch with me on Instagram!

Chelsea came to my house during the holidays for my HMU trial (that alone was so kind -- I had a limited amount of time in SD and she was so accommodating!!). I was so thrilled with the results -- I don't have a lot of experience with makeup and honestly didn't provide a lot of "inspo" but she took what I had and ran. I felt so beautiful while also feeling/looking like myself (which sometimes is not always the case with glam haha). Her attention to detail was amazing, and she accentuated my natural features. And the hair...ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! I felt so confident going into my engagement photos, and I cannot wait for my actual wedding day (and I'll follow up with a review then!). If you want to feel pampered and have a caring professional who will listen to your wants and needs and make you look AMAZING...Chelsea is your gal! I just know my friends and family will also love working with her on the big day :)
