We had our wedding over the weekend, and it turned out to be absolutely amazing — better than we ever could have imagined — and a big part of that was thanks to Ingrid and the Grand Entrance Affairs team. From the very beginning, Ingrid was kind, responsive, and easy to work with. She made the entire planning process feel so much more manageable.

Pasadena, CA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,100

While some photographers emphasize their gear or trendy post-processing, I take pride in subject-photographer interaction - the relation I build with clients, picking up on nuances in pose and expression while we shoot, anticipating the viewers' response - because ultimately, that's how photographs that matter to us are created. I'm a native New Yorker who found myself relocating to Los Angeles and making it my home. Wherever you'd like to have your wedding, it would be my pleasure to be your photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
It was a delight to work with Stephen for our wedding. We couldn’t be happier with the photos from both our Hindu ceremony as well as our western wedding. He was flexible enough to work beyond the original number of hours on a hot Malibu day for our Hindu wedding. He sourced a great second photographer to cover all the moments in our western wedding. The pictures are mesmerizing. He really listened to what we wanted and lent his talent to provide us with terrific and special images. He captured so many candid pictures of our family and friends and it has given us a lot of joy to look at them. Stephen was professional, considerate and wonderful to work with. And his pictures show that he is a true artist! Look forward to working with him again!

Working with Michelle has been an absolute pleasure. We selected Michelle because of her long successful track record and also because we have close friends who admitted that Michelle was to be trusted. Selecting a planner can be difficult but thankfully we were blessed with the best one! My wife expects nothing but perfection so the communication between her and Michelle was constant. Everytime my wife had a question or some reassurance; Michelle was there to assist immediately. As a husband, what I appreciated the most was her attention to detail and her calmness. She would always jot down all of our wishes and requests in her notebook in which I respected because there were a lot of asks on our end. Such a professional, responsible, trustworthy person. Thank you Michelle and to the team for allowing my wife and I to enjoy our special day. I would trust your work with my family and friends.

Straight to the point: MARTINA IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST! The one regret I have is not hiring her sooner. You can tell she loves what she does through her work. She’s loving, caring, responsive, on top of stuff (your stuff), very knowledgeable and just does everything she can to make the process as easy as possible. On our day-of, if anything went wrong, I knew nothing of it, everything went great and we received nothing but positive feedback from our bridal party. They all fell in love with her and her amazingness just as we did. You won’t regret hiring her, that I promise you. One of my last asks of her was for her to join me on the dance floor for one dance, and she sure did fulfill me ask. We love you so much, Martina, thank you for helping make our day so amazing and special. We miss you so so much and are happy we crossed paths xoxoxo

Dolores was my life line! My rock! I would recommend her to anyone with a pulse. I had already so much planned (or so I thought!) and she came in and helped me with everything I was still missing. Her experience in event planning was so reasurring but it was her strength and confidence that made me feel so safe in her handling my wedding. And it allowed me to actually enjoy my wedding! I got to actually enjoy my day with my husband and I felt so secure knowing she was handling my family members, the catering team, my photographer and the DJ seamlessly. I didn't even realize she was down a member of her team because everything was going so smoothly - her execution so perfect that I had no idea she was missing man power. Even the small details, like her ensuring that us newlyweds were fed and had minutes to ourselves before the roar of reception, were some of the most special moments of the evening for me. I am beyond grateful and could not recommend her enough.

Alex Austin Photo

Pasadena, CA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,200

I'm a portrait photographer capturing love & beauty in sunny southern California & beyond. I believe being able to freeze a moment in time to look back on and cherish again is such a beautiful gift. As a kid, my family would host gatherings at home often, and I would pause and blink my eyes really hard trying to take a “photo” in my mind during the fun. Haha :) I never wanted the time spent with loved ones to end. In college, when I tried searching for what I wanted to study and become, I was reminded of those memories - the things that brought great elation, the things that felt like home. I want to capture moments like that for you, too.

We had a fantastic time with Alex. This was our family's first photo shoot and Alex went above and beyond, helping us feel comfortable and have fun while getting our pictures taken. I was especially thankful for how thoughtful she was in finding ways to keep our toddler entertained and engaged during our photo session. I would highly recommend her for any photo needs. Can't wait to book with her again! -SF

Welcome to Emily Joy Photography// Bright, bold, and colorful. Southern California based photography capturing weddings, family, and individuals. My mission is to capture great photos of you and help you feel confident while doing so! What I love most about photography is watching how it can boost confidence. I love working with people and watching them let loose and have fun during our shoots. I am prepared to guide and equip you with confidence and plenty of prompts/poses! I relate providing a gallery of beautiful photos to making an amazing home cooked meal. I put my heart and soul into it and love watching others enjoy it!

Emily was absolutely wonderful to work with! She offered a free engagement shoot with the 8 hour wedding day package and we jumped at it. We had a meeting with her ahead of the engagement shoot which helped the day go smoothly. We felt very at ease with her which allowed us to get some really cute photos. She had a very calming and easy-going presence that made it a fun time to get our photos. Ahead of the wedding day itself, she again met with us to discuss photo options. I gave her a shot list of everything I wanted to get as well as a Pinterest board full of ideas, and she made sure to get all of them and more! I would highly recommend her if you're looking for a photographer.

On actual event days, there is an onsite venue coordinator overseeing the venue and is periodcically checking in with the event coordinator.

Little Lily's Kitchen 

5.0

  • Caterer
  • Serves Pasadena, CA

At Little Lily’s Kitchen in Los Angeles, we understand the difference between "custom" and "bespoke". One is choosing bits and pieces of someone else's vision, and the other is actually creating something that is YOUR vision. We start with a blank sheet of paper, and on that, we work with you to create an experience that is all about you and yours. A reflection of the couple. Something to be genuinely excited about sharing with your guests. Our chefs build a completely original menu for you, after an in-depth consultation is completed. The consultation allows us to understand the vision for your guest experience and individual needs.

Kari and Kevin are masters of their craft. We booked them for our wedding and received so many compliments about how amazing the food was. We asked for appetizers that matched our ethnic backgrounds and were blown away by the quality. A ceviche, perogi's, mini tacos, and the most gourmet pizza rolls I've ever had grace my tongue. Their team was amazing as well, handling the table/chair setup serving the guests. Everything was spectacular and I could not recommend a better catering team.

Pasadena, CA
  • Officiant
  • Offers 6 ceremony types
  • Starts at $700

Ready to create an unforgettable ceremony for the most important day of your life? I’d be honored to help you with that. As an ordained minister, wedding planner, and copywriter, I offer a unique combination of skills to help me create the perfect custom wedding ceremony—tailor-made for you. I use my interpersonal nature to get to know you as a couple, your love story, and your important must-haves—and my way with words to craft a heartfelt and memorable ceremony that uniquely captures and conveys your essence in front of all your nearest and dearest.

Ingrid is not only an amazing wedding coordinator, but she is also an amazing wedding officiant. She took our love story and crazy ceremony ideas (such as taking a shot with us along with our guests before we sealed the deal or taping our ring box underneath one of the chairs for a surprise ring bearer) and created the ceremony of our dreams. To hear from multiple guests that it was the best ceremony they attended was the best compliment we could receive because the ceremony is the most important part of a wedding. It was my favorite part of my wedding. Then she can amazingly switch gears from officiant to wedding coordinator and rock that too. She can do it all (literally). I always have other couples tell us that their wedding day goes by very fast and they didn’t really get to enjoy all the little things. However, my husband and I felt like our special day did not go by so fast and we most definitely got to enjoy the little things mainly because Ingrid took care of everything behind the scenes that no one sees. I am very sad I won’t get to work with her anymore unless I get married again lol, but I would recommend her to anyone I know and hopefully get to see her in action again.

The Hendrys 

5.0

Pasadena, CA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,700

We're Sarah and Darren—nice to meet you! We are LA transplants originally from Scotland and we're been in the wedding photography game for a while (almost 14 years to be exact!). We are not your typical cookie cutter wedding photographers, that is for certain! We go against the usual grain, and that’s exactly how we like it to roll. Normal is boring. Well, for us, at least.

We're actually rating The Hendrys one trillion stars out of five because they are "out of this world" amazing photographers and you should stop reading this review and book them ASAP! If you're still reading though, let us break down our perfect experience with them: They were recommended to us by our venue (Valentine DTLA) and we fell in LOVE with them as soon as we saw their website! Their portfolio and "about me" won us over because we were looking for wedding photographers who could capture the in-between moments, do some fun stylized shots, and be just as fun and goofy as we are! We reached out over the website and heard back from them immediately over email. Their super funny, yet professional personality came through and that got us so excited to work with them! They were also open to us asking as many questions as we wanted (especially when it came to the contract), which made us feel even more comfortable! We then got to meet them over ZOOM where we broke down how the day would go, they asked us what kind of pictures we were looking for, and we just got to know each other. We honestly may have become best friends with them as we couldn't stop talking to them about everything and anything for 2 hours. After that, we knew we were gonna be in the best hands, but we could never have ever imagined how perfect they really would be! When it finally came to the wedding day, The Hendrys went above and beyond! They were extremely professional as they kept us on schedule while experimenting with different types of photos (using a Fish Eye Lens, prisms, neon lights, etc.). They knew how to make everything feel super relaxed and fun and just let us do whatever was natural to us no matter what kind of photo it was. While we were losing it over the fact we just got married, The Hendrys just let us take everything in while politely directing us for photos. When we weren't doing staged photos, they were out of sight, but taking stunning photographs of everything that was happening in between. They were like ninjas as they would disappear and then reappear and grab us for the next shoot! It really was so cool! A few weeks after the wedding, we received our photos in record time and they were the COOLEST PHOTOS EVER (which you can see attached to this review)! We cannot thank The Hendrys enough for their hilarious stories, non-stop professionalism, unwavering kindness & selflessness, and being true magicians with their cameras and artistic vision. We couldn't be more grateful for everything that they did and we feel like the luckiest married couple in the world thanks to them! Now quit reading this review and go be the next luckiest married couple in the world and book The Hendrys! They're worth every single penny! - The D'Elia's

Hobbyist coffee brewer, professional nap taker, and sucker for raw moments and authentic emotions. Dedicated to documenting the beautiful moments as they unfold. Based in Southern California & available worldwide.

I am so fortunate that Yin and I found each other on a wedding thread and I was able to see some of his work and book him for my wedding. If you are looking for a true artist that will capture raw and genuine emotion, look no further. Not only can you feel it when you see his work, but he also made the whole planning process and the day of my wedding that much more special. Yin is not only incredibly talented but also an organized professional, great communicator and a gentle, calming soul who brings the right energy to every moment. I have only had the chance to see my sneak peak photos and my husband (ahh!) and I were literally obsessed with each and every one. Being the type of people who do not do well with all eyes on us and are generally awkward in posed photos, we simply could not choose a “favorite” as every one of them held a special memory or captured a raw moment. I literally feel like I fell more in love with our love story after seeing our photos of nervousness, excitement, joy, bliss and emotions. He is truly a storyteller and his 2nd shooter Catherine did just as phenomenal of a job. It is truly wedding vendors like Yin that make dreams come true on this huge milestone. I just can’t stop raving! I literally plan to hire Yin for any and every future event!!! Thank you, Yin for capturing my wedding story and making our day so special. You are so gifted and I am so lucky we crossed paths!

Patricia did makeup and Ashley did hair for myself, my bridesmaids, my mother and mother in law and we looked fantastic. We were so happy with results and both artists were kind and accommodating. I would recommend them both to anyone! Krystal was good to communicate with through the whole process and the pricing was fairly reasonable.

Emblem's mission is to inspire and heal the human heart through the beauty of flowers. We are a boutique floral design studio based in Pasadena, CA. We love translating our clients' vision into editorial, romantic, painterly floral designs for weddings. corporate events and special occasions, using seasonal, local product whenever possible.

Charmain at Emblem Flowers is such an amazing floral designer and so wonderful to work with! I reached out to Emblem Flowers to create floral arrangements for my wedding reception tables and head table. I already admired Charmain’s gorgeous floral designs on her instagram/website and the way she designs flowers together. I loved how aesthetically beautiful, timeless, unique, modern, natural and artistic her arrangements look. And, I knew I wanted her floral arrangements to be a part of my wedding day & was so happy to get to book with Emblem Flowers. It was so great and helpful to work with Charmain. She has such a wealth of knowledge in flowers and design aesthetics. She provided great designer insights and advice on the floral direction in light of the colors, table layouts, budget, and helped me to figure out the overall look I wanted for the flowers. And, her genuine care for the floral aesthetics and for what I wanted was so reassuring. I felt even more confident, after talking with her, that her floral arrangements would be so beautiful at the reception. And, on the day of my wedding, I was truly blown away to see how breathtakingly beautiful the reception flower arrangements turned out. Charmain exceeded my expectations and her flowers made such a huge impact on the atmosphere of the reception. They brought so much beauty, life, abundance and that romantic charm I wanted for the reception. I could not have been more happy and thankful to have Charmain design the florals for my head table and the reception tables! My only post-wedding regret is not having invested more to have Emblem Flowers also design my wedding bouquet and all the other wedding florals as well. I had a venue package that already included some florals. And, in light of saving money, I went with the venue package florist for my bouquet and some other florals. In hindsight, if I could go back in time, I wished I invested more to have Charmain do all the floral pieces for my wedding. Charmain has such an incredible eye for beauty that is rare to find, and the ways she designs florals is such a work-of-art! I loved having her stunning floral arrangements at my wedding reception. They really made such a huge difference at the wedding reception atmosphere and brought so much beauty and life to the reception. I could not have been more happy with how her florals turned out. I so recommend investing in having amazing and gorgeous work-of-art floral arrangements by Charmain on your wedding day! Her stunning florals are so worth it! I will be admiring her florals in the wedding photos for years to come.
