Working with Ryan (DJ Tempoe), Joe, and Marlon from Tempoe Entertainment DJs was such an amazing experience from beginning to end. As a wedding planner, I work with my fair share of wedding vendors, and it's easy to tell early on which ones are not only professional and skilled at what they do, but also friendly, kind, and easygoing good people to work with. From the beginning, Ryan and Joe were both so communicative and responsive, making all the pre-event planning a breeze. On the wedding day, Ryan, Joe, and Marlon all brought such professionalism and good energy to the day that kept the bride and groom, all their guests, as well as all us fellow vendors calm and at ease throughout the event - even when faced with some unique challenges. 10/10 I highly recommend hiring Tempoe Entertainment for all your DJ/MC, officiating, and photobooth needs - you'll be happy you did! :)

Rating: 4.9 (14 reviews)
Lakewood, CA
  • Photographer
  • Starts at $500

Welcome. I'm D e r e c k. I've been doing photography and videography since 2017. It wasn't until the pandemic of last year that I decided to take a leap of faith and make it a full-time career. I feel like I've always had a burning passion for photography and editing, I love photography because it captures a moment in time. Whether that moment is your wedding day or an annual family portrait, pictures enable us to relive and remember special occasions again + again. Why I specifically dove into Wedding Photography? Simple!! My love for creativity and seeing passionate couples that aren't afraid to show their personalities

Awarded Best of Zola
Dereck Davis Photography was a joy to work with for our wedding photography. Dereck has an incredibly friendly, welcoming, and fun communication style that put me at ease, as I'm usually shy and awkward posing for photos. His artistic eye and casual style resulted in gorgeous, natural-looking photos that perfectly captured the laidback vibe of our wedding day. Even during more orchestrated moments like the family portraits, Dereck kept things upbeat and moving smoothly. His easy-going manner encouraged everyone to relax and enjoy themselves rather than stress about getting the perfect shot. Our wedding photos are stunning yet look effortless due to Dereck's ability to work with the existing lighting and scenery. We felt like we were hanging out with a close friend rather than posing stiffly for a photographer. I wholeheartedly recommend Dereck for wedding photography - his beautiful, joyful images will help you remember the love and delight of your special day for years to come.

I started Fresh Studio in 2009 to share my creative voice. Fast forward to 14 years later, it has become a platform for telling visual stories about the beauty of human connection and celebration. I live to experience the richness of collective human energy. Whether it's a wedding, a convention of the minds, or a performance on the stage, I'm at my best in this world when I'm behind a lens using photography to document your important moments, freezing them in time to live beyond a single day.

I love working with other wedding vendors who are committed to the success of the event. It is the most important time for a couple and often for their families as well. Jami was a true professional, dedicated, genuine, a clear communicator and very flexible even as things changed. I hope to work with Jami again and I hope that you take the time to learn more about what Fresh Studio has to offer. If you’re looking for a photographer that sees the vision, executes, and delivers (even when it’s freezing cold out), Fresh Studio is the way to go. They have set the bar!

She took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and brought such a calming, elegant presence to the entire experience. Her performance was absolutely beautiful—every note felt intentional and full of emotion. The music created the perfect atmosphere and added a magical, timeless quality to our ceremony that our guests are still talking about. It was one of those details that made the day feel even more special and unforgettable. Our wedding day was so special thanks to Stephanie.. You can tell she loves what she does, and it shows in every aspect of her work.

Choosing second song as our DJ service for our wedding was the best decision we could have made!! The team is so accommodating and made the process of choosing our DJ so easy. After choosing second song, they allowed us to set up phone calls to interview DJ's to find the perfect fit for us. We ended up choosing DJ Daniel Cabral. Daniel was attentive and set up multiple meetings with us prior to our wedding to discuss our vision for our wedding day. Everything ran perfectly throughout the entire day. The audio for our ceremony was perfect and the music selections throughout cocktail hour, dinner, and the reception set the mood for our wedding. We also hired a string trio through second song and they did a beautiful job at our ceremony and cocktail hour. Our reception was a party and Daniel made sure people were on the dance floor all night long. We also had my cousin play the trumpet at our reception while Daniel played a song in the background. Daniel mic'd up his trumpet for us and it was such a hit! We also got our Photo Booth through second song and they provided the uplighting at the venue! They are everything you could want from a DJ service and more!! If you are looking for a DJ service, second song is the way to go!!!!

I am so happy to write a review for Seth and his team! From the very beginning, Seth has been a pleasure to work with. The first meeting I was very impressed by how he had researched the wedding venue and its layout so that he could ask us what our thoughts were on setup/DJ location placement etc. Our second meeting was then focused on how to set up the wedding playlist using the Vibo app. The app is fantastic, and an excellent way to keep track of the songs you wish to have played at certain time points (bridal processional, grand entrance, pre-ceremony, etc.). In the app you can request starting timepoints and leave extra notes for Seth to look over weeks before the wedding. Aside from these aspects, Seth went above and beyond to help us with other non-music related aspects of the wedding such as our wedding slideshow (that he helped give us step by step instructions so that the quality of the slideshow would be good for when it was projected on the wall of venue). He also created a mashup for my husband to dance with his mom ("Dance with me" mixed with "Just Dance"; it was amazing!). Even during the week of the wedding, when I had a mini-freak out, he was so kind and understanding. In the end, I 100% recommend Seth (and Matt too! He was at the Photo Booth, and he was so kind and was ready to help folks if any technical help was needed)! Seth's team is professional, kind, and has great attention to detail; if you can, book DJ Seth and his team for your wedding!

Randall de Leon Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (51 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Lakewood, CA

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’re looking for a photographer who is incredibly talented, easy to work with, and genuinely cares about delivering your vision: Randall is it!!! We couldn’t be happier!

I can’t begin to express how thankful we are to have chosen the Oviatt as our wedding venue. They truly are a dreamy space filled with historic charm that creates a one of a kind guest experience. Beyond its beautiful space what makes this venue better than any other is the staff. Gabe, Lindsey, and Cami are extremely personable, knowledgeable, and take above and beyond to the next level. They consistently went out of their way to make sure everything we wanted was possible and that the day would be flawless. They are not the type of venue where you’re just a client to them, they really work with every event and every person as if you were the only event they were handling. We, unfortunately, had to switch our caterer 2 weeks before our wedding and The Oviatt Team immediately jumped in to help us find other caterers and make sure what we had originally asked for was still possible no matter what. This was beyond kind and helpful and totally unexpected. The Oviatts charm and stunning spaces feels like enough reason to book this venue however it's that staff that will make your wedding or event a once in a lifetime experience.

I’m not even sure where to begin to describe how amazing Events by McKenna is at what they do!! McKenna is the most kind, helpful, and enthusiastic person to assist you during such an important time in your life. She made sure everything went perfectly on our wedding day and every day leading up to it! When we first started our wedding planning journey, we only knew where we wanted to have it, and due to the venue location not regularly being used for weddings, we needed to outsource vendors for everything. That's where McKenna came in and helped us out by hand-picking every vendor that she knew would provide the exact things we were looking for. From catering, florals, furniture rentals, DJ, and all the little details, she knew who would be perfect for the job and she was right about every single one! Every time we had a question or a crazy idea, she had an answer right away and she would do everything she could to make it happen. One thing that we were really hoping for was getting a disco ball above our dance floor, but since we were outdoors, it wasn’t looking promising. McKenna was the one who made sure that we got our disco ball, and it was absolutely perfect! That’s just one example of the many ways McKenna ensured our dream wedding would become a reality. On the day of, McKenna and her team were so efficient and handled everything so that my husband and I could relax and focus on ourselves. We got to our venue and everything was already done and ready to start the day! McKenna was amazing at time management throughout the day, and she was so helpful to not only us, but our families, wedding party and guests as well. Everything went perfectly on schedule and all the crazy ideas that we had came to life with no issues! It was truly the best day of our lives and it wouldn’t have been possible without McKenna’s help! I could write so much more on how incredible Events by McKenna is, but to sum it all up, they are the best choice for your wedding planning and coordinating needs and you will not regret choosing them for your big day!!

  • Serves Lakewood, CA

I’m Peter, the guy behind Bedrosian Photo. I photograph weddings, people, parties, emotion, chaos, and all the weird little moments in between. I care way more about honesty than perfection — the nervous energy before a ceremony, your drunk uncle on the dance floor, your grandma crying quietly in the corner, or the split-second look your partner gives you when they think nobody’s watching. Those moments matter more than anything staged ever could.

Awarded Best of Zola
Peter from Bedrosian Photo was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. He didn't get in our way at all, allowing us to enjoy the moment, but still captured all the standard posed shots as well as incredible candid moments that we didn't even realize he was capturing. The quality of his work is amazing - it's so clean and the attention to detail is incredible. He really nailed capturing all the in-between moments that most photographers claim they can get but often miss. Peter and his entire video team were a well-oiled machine, working seamlessly together to deliver a final product that feels more like watching a sports team than a typical photo/video team. We couldn't be happier with the memories they helped us create on our special day.

Hi, we're The Moon Units! We're known throughout California for our 1,000+ song list, our authentic on-stage chemistry, and performances that clients have called "better than the original bands" that recorded the songs. And because we're a real band, we offer prices that are just a fraction of what corporate booking agencies charge. We can't wait to play for you!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Moon Units were an incredibly important piece of our wedding weekend, and weeks after the event we still have guests reaching out about how blown away they were by the band. They are an incredibly talented group of musicians, playing everything from Rush to Robyn and Steely Dan to Sir Mix-A-Lot. They were unbelievably good at working with and understanding the 'vibes' of my wife and I, curating an exceptional setlist that had something for every age and musical interest. Highlights for us included walking down the aisle to an acoustic version of "Champagne Supernova", and dancing at the reception to "Tom Sawyer", 'Bring Me To Life", "The Impression That I Get", and "Dancing on My Own", but they have a list of over 1,000 songs and can really do any sort of music you're looking for. They're professional, friendly, and talented, and my only regret is that we can't get married again to hear them play one more time. As one guest said to me at the wedding, "I've never seen literally every single person on the dance floor at a wedding before, but they had everyone partying for three hours straight".

Ingrid was an absolute dream to work with! From the very beginning, she was organized, detail-oriented, and went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect. She took the time to reach out to all of our vendors and handled every communication seamlessly. There were so many details she thought of that I hadn’t even considered, which made the entire planning process so much smoother. What truly stood out was her kindness and calm demeanor. No matter how stressful things got, she remained sweet and supportive, always making sure I felt confident and at ease. On the day of the wedding, she made excellent decisions regarding our decorations when I couldn’t and ensured everything went off without a hitch. Ingrid’s team was equally wonderful—they were all so sweet, helpful, and attentive. Together, they made sure everything flowed smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy the day without worrying about a thing. If you’re looking for a wedding coordinator who is not only professional but also genuinely cares about making your day special, Ingrid and her team are the ones. I couldn’t have asked for a better group to help bring our dream wedding to life!

Working with Sam, Marco, and Julian was so seamless and easy. We really wanted to avoid a DJ that played tired 'wedding' music and actually created a fun night of dancing with our millennial Brooklyn crowd. We vibed with Sam immediately on intake meeting, who even 'scouted' our venue to confirm the existing audio setup worked (helping us save some on rentals). Coordinating with Marco and working with DJ Julian on the day-of was a breeze and delivered exactly the energy we had hoped for. Couldn't recommend enough!

From our first conversation with Maria's Little Garden, we knew we had found the right florist for our wedding. Maria was quick to respond to every question and genuinely excited about bringing our vision to life. She didn't just listen to what we wanted—she pushed us to think bigger and bolder with creative ideas that made the whole day feel special. The arch display at our beach ceremony was stunning, and the flowers transformed the ocean view into a spring garden that took our breath away. Maria's commitment to every detail showed in her work, and she made the whole process feel easy and fun. We couldn't have asked for a better partner in making our wedding day beautiful.

We hired a photographer from Aladdin Films, and we could not be happier that we did that! He was very professional but in a strict way, he made us feel comfortable during the posing parts, and controlled the whole flow of the photo shoot process. The photos came up more than great, they are fantastic. I could not wait to share them with my parents and friends. My mother burst down crying (as usual), and I'm with her. We're so grateful that we found them. Thank you!
