From the moment we first connected, he was warm, professional, and genuinely invested in capturing our story. On the wedding day, he made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and somehow managed to be everywhere at once without ever being intrusive.

Hey, I'm Marisa! I work with couples to help capture their dream wedding day! Most days you can find me drinking coffee in front of my computer editing the day away. If I’m not home in the SF Bay Area, I’m most likely in the Sierras or at a session off the grid. Outdoor adventures light up my soul! I basically live out of a duffle bag. In my free time you can find me drinking wine with friends, maybe on a run, laying around with my dog, near a lake or finding the best tacos.

We could not imagine working with any other photographer for our wedding! From our first video meeting to touch base, to our engagement shoot, and ultimately our wedding day, Marisa collaborated with us and other vendors with so much grace and a great sense of humor. She communicates clearly and punctually. We were particularly impressed with how she was able to wrangle our large families and get group photos together with confidence, but also captured the small, intimate moments so perfectly. We will forever cherish the photos that perfectly encapsulate the best day of our lives. Thank you so much, Marisa!

Both my wife and I are from bay areas so it was important to get married by the water. I can’t stress enough how beautiful this venue is. It’s pretty much all inclusive, you can bring your own booze, vendors and decorations. It includes a stay in their fabulous inn which is 4 bedrooms. Our whole bridal party stayed and it was the best experience. We decided to book the night before too. You can even take pictures on the Marina docks right next to the property (for a small fee). The place itself is so dreamy, we used one lawn for our ceremony and one for lawn games and our cocktail tables. Watching the sunset from the reception space and the sparkly lights on both lawns was just sooo gorgeous. Now for the team, they went ABOVE and BEYOND to accommodate our requests and answer all my hundred questions and they were so flexible with us when we had to postpone for Covid twice. We are incredibly grateful for the team. They shared all their tips and tricks and made our wedding perfect. The coordination between the wedding venue and our planner was flawless. And best part was the seamless delivery of our late night snack, hot pretzels! And the space perfect accommodated a photo booth which everyone loved. We finally got married in September 2023! I highly recommend as a wedding venue 10/10.

I recently worked with Kathy for an engagement photoshoot at SF City Hall. She was incredibly flexible when we arrived late, which we really appreciated. She took the time to capture a wide variety of shots around the area, and her friendly demeanor made the experience enjoyable. She also provided helpful directions during the shoot, making it a fun outing overall. Thank you for your hard work! (Added my favorite photo. I like the motion of it which is quite apt given we were dancing, and the lighting is romantically moody.)

Sipsters 

5.0

  • Bar services & beverages
  • Starts at $600
  • Serves Oakland, CA

Derived by the idea of 3 sisters and their individual love of beverages. Handcrafted Cocktails 🍸, Coffee ☕️ & Tea 🫖. Hence Sipsters, a play off sisters and sips! We are a “dry hire” mobile bartending service. This is the concept where we provide the bar, bartender/s, mixers, garnishes and aesthetics and the client provides the alcohol (in which we help you curate a shopping list). This allows the client more flexibility, customization and most importantly cost savings. Meant for those that do not want to pay exuberant mark up on alcohol that venues, bars and restaurants typically charge.

I hired Sipsters for our event, and I couldn't happier with their service! From the very first contact, they were professional, communicative, and attentive to all the details. They worked closely with us to curate a custom drink menu that fit our theme and our guests' tastes. The bartenders arrived on time, set up efficiently, and were ready to serve drinks in no time and even offered help with other things non bartender related. The service was top notch throughout the entire event. They set up, they cleaned up and left it as though they were never there making party planning and clean up so much easier and less stressful. Sipsters exceeded all of our expectations and we thank you so much!

We owe Eyeconik an apology for such a late recommendation! We cannot say enough awesome things about Kanoa and Sara. The vision and creativity in their work is so refreshing. For our engagement shoot, Kanoa and Sara literally drove us around SF ( I'm talking like 4 different locations!) and produced shots that we are thankful to have for the rest of our lives. These people can take ordinary, boring backdrops and flip it into something special. That is what you will get with Eyeconik. Their creativity and imagination is something we appreciated so much! Its been a full year since our wedding. We still remain in awe with the images that Eyeconik gave us. We are so thankful to have met Kanoa and Sara, and we are forever grateful for the wonderful memories they have captured for us! Eyeconik should be shooting your photos!

The Suisun Valley Inn is an intimate retreat at the historic 55-acre Monroe Ranch in the heart of Suisun Valley, just east of Napa. Accommodating sixteen guests in eight suites, the inn is the ideal location to stay while enjoying the area wineries, farms and attractions. If you are looking for a tucked away setting for a wedding party, a company retreat or just a getaway to a quaint setting, the Suisun Valley Inn is a unique choice. For the 2025 wedding season we will offer indoor weddings/receptions in our new 7500 sq ft barn.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Handles all cleanup logistics
  • Historic touches
  • Has onsite accommodations

Venue considerations

  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
  • Not for you if you prefer a more modern aesthetic
  • Lighting and sound are not included
We recently had our wedding at Suisun Valley Inn, and overall, it was a beautiful and memorable experience. One of the biggest highlights was being able to use the venue for three full days, which gave us extra time to relax and connect with our bridal party and loved ones. That extended access truly made a difference in how special the weekend felt. However, there were a few challenges that did impact our plans. The event barn, which was a key part of our original vision, was unfortunately not finished in time for our wedding. While we understand this was out of the owner’s control, we were disappointed that we were not refunded the full 2,000 deposit, especially since the change affected nearly every aspect of our day. Additionally, when we arrived, we were surprised to find the vineyard had been plowed without any prior notice. This forced another last-minute adjustment to our setup so we wouldn’t be facing a dirt lot. It would have been really helpful to have been told about that in advance. Despite these hiccups, the venue itself has so much potential and charm, and we did have a lovely wedding. I just hope some of these experiences can help future couples plan better or spark a few improvements from the venue for the future.

Hiddenbrooke Hills is a phenomenal venue. What sold us on them initially was they provided a binder with every detail we could ever think of -- food, cake, florals, timeline (planning and day of), down to whether or not you wanted your pet in the wedding. They have a number of recommended/partnered vendors, but aside from linens and tables, catering, and bartender, you could opt in or out of any vendors you wanted to fully customize your day. And the catering and bartenders were excellent, and they have some excellent options for chairs, tables, and linens -- so don't let this deter you! They were incredible communicators and reassured us every step of the way. The entire team really went above and beyond. Our day-of coordinator Christina was friendly, organized, gave us space when we needed but kept us to our timeline, and really made us feel like guests at our own wedding in the best way possible. Our banquet captain Eric went out of his way to ensure that us as well as our immediate families were treated like royalty the entire night, and we truly felt like honored guests on our own wedding day. The venue itself is very romantic. The outdoor ceremony site feels private and the aisle and archway is actually paved for the bridal party -- a game-changer for anyone wearing heels! We opted to do an indoor ceremony due to the weather, and the indoor ceremony site feels just as well thought out and romantic as the outdoor option. It felt like a log cabin surrounded by greenery. The entire walkway from indoor ceremony site to cocktail hour location to reception is covered. The cocktail hour location is a cute fireside area with enormous windows and exposed stonework. It feels cozy and was a perfect space for our guests. It also is adjacent to our reception area, which was perfect if our guests wanted a quieter place to chat during open dancing. The reception area is super romantic with white drapery and enormous windows, with doors that can be propped open for crossflow and a quiet HVAC system to keep everyone comfortable. Of all the venues we looked at, we felt like we got the best deal for the price here. It was simple to create a custom wedding without feeling "railroaded", but still have enough options to feel guided instead of lost. Everything -- from the partnered vendors, to the site, to the staff -- felt like it was a luxury experience. Definitely check out Hiddenbrooke -- you won't be disappointed!

I love love, connection, and all the little moments in between. From weddings to families, I’m here to tell your story gently and honestly, one frame at a time. Let's work together and have this moment be a breeze!

I was planning a reverse proposal for my fiancé, and I knew that capturing this unique moment perfectly was essential. After much research, I decided to hire Nevaeh, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. From the very beginning, she was professional, attentive, and genuinely excited about the project. She got on multiple calls with me and took the time to understand my vision and offered valuable suggestions to make the moment even more memorable. On the day of the proposal, she and Matheus (our videographer) arrived early to scout the location and ensure everything was set up perfectly. Their attention to detail was evident as they meticulously planned each shot, ensuring the lighting and angles were just right. When the moment finally arrived, they both were discreet yet present, capturing every emotion and reaction beautifully. The photos and video they produced were nothing short of stunning. Each image was crisp, vibrant, and perfectly framed, truly capturing the essence of our special moment. Overall, Nevaeh and Matheus exceeded all my expectations. Their talent, professionalism, and passion for their craft were evident in every shot. If you're looking for a photographer who can capture your special moments with precision and artistry, I highly recommend her.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a wedding in July 2019 and wanted to have live music played at the ceremony and cocktail hour. Bay Area Strings did not disappoint. Jen Mathers was highly responsive during the process and very easy to communicate throughout the planning process, which goes a long way. She provided us with a list of songs the group would be able to play for us, samples of performances, and a list of options for ensemble. We chose a string quartet and the pricing was very reasonable. We had requested a song that wasn't on the playlist and Jen had the ensemble learn the sheet music - beyond thrilled! The music was breathtaking and our wedding ceremony would not have been the same without the group's performance. Looking back at our wedding day, the live music is something we will always remember, thanks to Jen and Bay Area Strings.

I loved working with Mitasha for my wedding hair and make-up! She and her team did my makeup/hair and styling for my pre-wedding events and my wedding and reception. They worked with me to get all my looks exactly like I wanted. The makeup and hairstyles were flawless and survived for several hours. From offering make-up trials to creating personalized skincare recommendations to customizing looks for each of my wedding events, she was absolutely incredible! Her in-depth knowledge of skin, hair and make-up was evident from day 1 and I could not have been happier with the way she brought together my looks for each event. I would definitely work with her and her team again for any future events and recommend her to anyone looking for this service in the Bay Area!

Hello! My name is Cynthia Bui and I’d like to welcome you to my portfolio. In love with love and the stories behind each couple, I design fun-filled events that combine creativity, personal details, and well-planned logistics. I am here to take care of my clients, to listen to their stories, and create an event that brings their vision to reality. During the day of the wedding, I will ensure that I’ve created a beautiful and flawless day for the couple and their guests. I offer full and partial wedding planning & design services. I am located in the Bay Area but I would love to travel anywhere for your love story.

I cannot recommend Cynthia enough! The last three months leading up to my wedding were incredibly stressful, but bringing Cynthia on board as our day-of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment she stepped in, she brought a sense of calm and control that truly helped relieve so much of the pressure I was feeling. Cynthia is incredibly organized and detail-oriented. She thought of things I never would have, and her preparation gave me the confidence to actually enjoy my wedding day. She executed all the decor exactly how I envisioned it and added thoughtful touches that made everything look even more beautiful than I imagined. When unexpected things came up (as they always do!), Cynthia handled them with grace and quick thinking, adjusting both the timeline and details seamlessly without ever needing to stress me out. She also managed all communication with the other vendors on the big day, which was a huge load off my shoulders. I didn’t have to worry about a single logistical detail because I knew she had it covered. My family couldn’t stop raving about how wonderful and helpful she was throughout the entire day. If you're looking for someone who is calm under pressure, incredibly capable, and truly committed to making your day perfect, Cynthia is your person. I’m so grateful for everything she did for us!
