Awarded Best of Zola
Joy Photo and Video was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography and videography needs. They always answered my questions as fast as they could, which put me at ease during the planning process. I loved that I can have access to all the pictures they took, not just the edited ones. The video they put together is amazing - they were able to make it so special in just a few short minutes. The photographer and videographer told us exactly what to do and how to pose, which was so helpful since we didn't know what kind of poses we wanted. The only thing I knew I wanted was some under the veil pictures, and they made sure to get those first. I also loved knowing that if my photographer or videographer were sick that day or something happened, there would be a back-up person there to ensure our day was captured perfectly. Overall, Joy Photo and Video exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Not sure where to begin writing this review. There are truly no words big enough to describe how special Cello Joe was as our wedding DJ. He wasn’t just a part of our wedding day, he made our wedding day. From the very first moment to the very last song, he gave us something so magical, so unforgettable, that it still makes us emotional to think about. He was literally the heartbeat of our day. He played live cello pre ceremony for all the guests to enjoy that was truly so beautiful. But the live cello as I walked down the aisle is a memory etched into our hearts forever. It was more than music. It felt like the soundtrack to our love story, and it was the most beautiful beginning to the rest of our lives. Then, during cocktail hour, he transformed the atmosphere with looping, beatboxing, and cello in a way that left every single guest completely captivated. People couldn’t stop talking about it, and even now, they’re still telling us it was the most unique and breathtaking performance they’ve ever experienced at a wedding from start to finish. And then there was the saxophonist he brought in during the dance party. pure magic. Together, they created an energy that was electric, soulful, and overflowing with joy. They didn’t just entertain, they touched every heart in the room. Not only was he the most talented cello musician, he absolutely crushed the dance party and played non stop for 3:30 hours. Not one bad song or bad mix. It was absolutely incredible. But what truly sets him apart is how much heart he pours into what he does. Without us even knowing, he recorded our entire ceremony, our cocktail hour, our dance floor, and gifted us not just music, but memories. He allowed us to relive the most important day of our lives again and again. That level of thoughtfulness is beyond anything we could have imagined. Our wedding was perfect because of him. He exceeded every expectation and gave us more than we ever dreamed possible. He is, without question, the most talented, kind, and extraordinary musician and DJ we have ever met. If we could give him more than 5 stars, we would. To us, he isn’t just the best wedding DJ in the world, he’s someone we will forever be grateful for, someone who gave us the gift of a wedding day that truly felt like a dream. Cello Joe, thank you for all the moments you created throughout our weekend. You truly are one of the most talented people we’ve ever met and I will be recommending you to everybody I know!!

After serving the Bay Area for years, I've moved to Lincoln and looking forward to serving our new community. A little about me: Always lived in the country raising cattle and horses. Grew up learning from mother about all things florals. Worked in vet med for years while also doing wedding flowers with my mother. Now that my husband and I have moved to Lincoln I decided to start my floral business full time.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot recommend Heather enough! My florals were exactly what I envisioned and for a value price. She called me a month before and discussed what I dreamed of for my wedding day. She was accommodating when I had additions a month out and arrived early to setup on the big day. I absolutely loved her work on the arch, bouquets, boutonnieres, and the end of aisle/head table pieces. Heather delivered above expectations and I am so thankful I found her. Thank you Heather for your work!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We truly couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding day. We were able to stay at Shadows for the long weekend - which allowed us to set up and DIY most our wedding. Our family and closest friends got to stay with us on the property for the weekend, which made it feel so much more special - and made us feel like we had so much time to take our wedding weekend in with everyone (rather that just one day). The venue was so spacious, which made the event feel large and free - rather than everyone being on top of each other. We used the following spaces for each part of our wedding: - Backyard grass and overlook - Ceremony - Front yard grass - Dinner & Speaches - Barn - Desserts, Snacks, Seating / Lounge Area, Guest Book - Barn Deck - Dancefloor & DJ We worked with Scena as our day-of coordinator and she was THE BEST! Helped so much with timeline, setup, coordination, rehersal, clean up - EVERYTHING! Truly could not say enough good things about her.

We are beyond grateful to have had Memo as our photographer! From the very first shot he took, Memo brought an artistry and creativity that transformed each photo into a masterpiece. His eye for detail and his unique ability to convey emotion through his lens made every picture feel not only beautiful but deeply personal to us. Working with Memo was a true joy. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, he made us feel seen, understood, and celebrated.

Working with Ali was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. We did full planning with her, and from day one she made the entire process feel easier, more organized, and honestly way more fun. Ali is incredibly kind, caring, and just so easy to get along with. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but she brought such a calm and positive energy that made everything feel manageable. Her attention to detail is amazing, especially when it comes to design and timeline. As someone who does not naturally have a strong eye for design or a super type A personality, I relied on her a lot, and she totally delivered. She took our ideas and turned them into something beautiful and cohesive, all while helping us make decisions in a way that felt clear and not stressful. She also took so much off our plate, especially with vendor communication. We were so incredibly with the team of vendors we worked with and it all came from Ali's recommendations and incredible knowledge of the NorCal wedding industry. What really stood out was how much she listened to us. She took the time to understand what actually mattered to us, from budget to priorities for the day, and built everything around that. It all felt very “us,” which we appreciated so much. And on the wedding day, she absolutely crushed it. I did not have to worry about a single thing. If anything came up, she handled it so smoothly that we never even knew. We were able to just be present and enjoy the day. Ali is truly the best, and working with her was beyond worth it. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!!

Anne Roos was a fantastic live music addition to our wedding in early April. She had worked with our coordinator in the past, making it a seamless integration into the wedding program. We loved the deep library of music that she offered; we found songs that fit every moment for our ceremony and the cocktail hour. The music added a classy touch to our ceremony and the guests loved the movie themes and show tunes! We had our wedding just after in the last major snowfall in North Lake and she was able to accommodate that the changing weather without any disruption to the program. We would highly recommend Anne for anyone looking for a Classical harpist in the Tahoe region.

Hey, I'm so glad you're here! My name is Heather and I live in beautiful Foresthill, CA. I love any and all hard seltzers, my Great Dane Fritz, and using my camera to capture all the feels. About my business? Well I'm basically a professional wedding crasher, so you know you will always have fun with me! Oh and I've pretty much cried at every wedding I've ever been to...and yours is no exception. Let's be friends!

You can't go wrong with Heather. She and her team handled our engagement photos and shot our wedding. Both sets of pictures are incredible! She captured amazing moments of our wedding--and they match our memories perfectly. Heather's photos are stunning, but also feel authentic. Beyond her photography and editing abilities, she made us feel very comfortable. My wife and I aren't used to professional photoshoots (we are humble folk), so having someone so kind and down-to-earth made those experiences fun. Heather felt like someone we'd want to have at our wedding anyway! Hire her, have fun, and frame those prints.

Hello!! I randomly found Maddie while looking for makeup artists in the Grass Valley area. I was beyond thrilled to find someone who had not only a free Saturday, but the exact look I was going for—something classic, fresh, and natural. She was amazing to work with, responded quickly, made last minute adjustments, and had reasonable prices. On the day of my wedding, we decided to make a few changes, mainly no lashes, and she was totally willing to accommodate my changes. Maddie is also a good time!

At Nathalia Rose Events, we believe your engagement season should feel just as meaningful as the wedding day itself. We’re a boutique planning and coordination company for couples who want a beautifully organized celebration, but also a grounded, intentional experience along the way. Our approach is calm, detail-focused, and holistic—supporting not just your timeline and vendors, but the overall energy of your planning season so you can stay present, connected, and actually enjoy it. From the beginning, we step in with clarity, care, and structure so nothing feels overwhelming and everything feels like it’s coming together with ease.

We hired Nathalia Rose Events as the month of coordinator for our wedding reception, and are so grateful we did! We were so overwhelmed at first (est. guest count was 400), however, Natalie and her team were simply amazing. From providing feedback to reassuring us about all of the little last minute curve balls and potatoes, Natalie seemed to always know what we were thinking and what we needed. She was extremely organized and communicated clearly with us and our vendors to make sure we were all on the same page the night of our event. We could not have had the night we had without Natalie and her team. She is so incredibly kind, caring, and absolutely killed it when it came to helping us bring our vision to life on the day of our event. My guests also had nothing but good things to say about how well organized everything was, and I cannot recommend Nathalia Rose Events enough.

We booked Teddy months in advance for our wedding day on April 26, 2025. We wanted a cinematic style to capture our day but we also weren’t familiar with the poses nor how to work with a photographer for a full 11 hours. Teddy made it super easy and great to work with him and ask him what we were hoping to get captured on our wedding day. He was communicative, on time, and open to going with the flow as changes came up with our itinerary due to unexpected rain. We got married at our church, took pictures at a nearby garden, and then we traveled 30 minutes to the reception. We definitely recommend him and hope others can have the great experience we had with him!

Lone Wulff Ranch was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the moment we first reached out, Rachel and her team were incredibly timely, thorough, and friendly in their communication, making the planning process a breeze. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with a stunning natural backdrop and a wonderfully rustic feel. Our caterer, dessert provider, photographer, bartender, and DJ were all top-notch and helped contribute immensely to making our special day truly unforgettable. Rachel worked tirelessly to ensure we had everything we needed and kept our timeline running smoothly. We could not have asked for a better experience, and we highly recommend Lone Wulff Ranch to any couple looking for a gorgeous, well-run wedding venue.

I am Dana Gualco, a natural light and golden hour photographer based in Roseville, CA, serving the Sacramento area and beyond. My passion for photography is rooted in the belief that everyone has a unique story to tell, and I am dedicated to capturing yours with authenticity. Specializing in weddings, engagements, and portraits, I focus on the meaningful details that you will cherish for a lifetime. My goal is to provide high-resolution, timeless images that reflect the raw emotion and beauty of your celebration, turning your fleeting milestones into priceless heirlooms.

From the very first conversation, Dana completely understood the assignment — our vision, our vibe, and what mattered most to us. On the wedding day, she was the definition of calm and collected. While everything else felt like a whirlwind, she was steady, organized, and reassuring in the best way. She captured the day perfectly — not just the big moments, but the subtle, emotional ones we didn’t even realize were happening. Her creativity truly set her apart. Every shot felt intentional, artistic, and uniquely us. She found beautiful light, thoughtful angles, and little in-between moments that turned into some of our favorite photos. I have worked with Dana on every milestone, from engagement photos to gorgeous family portraits. It feels like she is a part of the family and we trust her with all of life’s special moments implicitly. If you’re looking for someone who is calm under pressure, incredibly talented, and genuinely gifted at telling your story through photos, stop searching. She’s it!

10 Stars across the board for Judi and To Have & To Hold Wedding Planning!!!!! Our wedding at Orchard Creek Lodge on August 16, 2025, was absolutely perfect — and we owe so much of that to Judi and the incredible team at To Have and To Hold Wedding Planning. From the very beginning, Judi was a dream to work with. She was endlessly patient, incredibly sweet, and always made us feel like our vision truly mattered. Throughout the entire planning process, Judi guided us with such grace and calm, even when we were overwhelmed with decisions. Her eye for detail is unmatched — every flower, every table setting, and every timeline detail was flawless. She anticipated things we never would have thought of and made sure the day ran seamlessly from start to finish. One of the highlights of our planning journey was our monthly check-in calls with Judi. My husband and I genuinely looked forward to them every time! She made each meeting fun, organized, and reassuring — turning what could have been a stressful process into something we actually enjoyed. What stood out most was how genuinely caring and kind Judi was. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, happy, and stress-free. We truly felt supported every step of the way, and it’s clear that she pours her heart into what she does. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more, and we couldn’t have done it without her. Judi will always hold a special place in our hearts — she is the wedding planner every bride and groom deserves! Thank you, Judi, for making our special day unforgettable! The Fergusons

  • Serves Nicolaus, CA

I’ve had a camera in my hand since I can remember. On family vacations each of us had a camera and would come back with several rolls of film. It was great to see different perspectives of the same place. My photos became more refined throughout my childhood as I graduated to my stepdad’s Minolta film SLR. In college I dedicated myself to photography professionally with a degree in photojournalism, then found my calling with a wedding studio at 19.

Nicole isn't just an amazing photographer. She's an ally on the day of the wedding. She's a calming presence reminding you to ENJOY one of the biggest moments of your life. And she gets everything you want (and more) naturally, and in the style that represents who you are as a couple. We had to do a COVID wedding, and Nicole handled it so flawlessly that we wouldn't think of working with anyone else once we finally get to throw a larger party. SHE'S INCREDIBLE! You'll love your photographs AND your wedding day.

Beyond her beautiful photography, she stood out for her clear communication, organization, and ability to keep the day running smoothly. She guided us effortlessly through each location, stayed ahead of schedule, and paid close attention to every detail, too, from lighting and backgrounds to those natural, in-between moments. On our wedding day, Samantha documented everything seamlessly; from getting ready shots, to pictures in Capitol Park, the ceremony, golden hour, and the reception. After the ceremony, she managed large group photos with ease, keeping everyone organized and finishing ahead of schedule so guests could head to the reception without delay. During the reception, she captured the space, guests, and atmosphere beautifully, always accommodating photo requests with care. The final photos are stunning and truly reflect the emotion and joy of the day.
