I am so so happy we hired Big Day Productions for our special day. Bianca was thorough and communicative throughout the entire process, but I couldn’t even have imagined how our wedding film was going to turn out. Bianca captured the smallest most amazing moments with our families that we didn’t even see happen because we were so busy running around all day. The quality of the film was also incredible, it looks like a movie!!!! I’m beyond happy we have this documentation of our wedding to watch back over and over again as our relationship grows and changes. I can’t thank big day productions enough for being there! I’m so happy we chose to go with them and would recommend their services to anyone.

Jasmine is one of a kind! I have known Jasmine before she became Jasmine&Co and she has always had such a kind and helpful spirit. She was the easiest decision with my wedding planning process and I had 2 big events to prepare for. Always had good recommendations for local vendors too! I had Jasmine for my pre wedding and day of event and I loved my looks! What I absolutely appreciated is how hectic wedding planning gets jasmine always assured me that everything will be okay! She also helped me create a hotel block in hawaii for my destination wedding and gather ideas for my big day! The only thing I wasn’t able to get done was a trial but the day of my wedding and henna events she knew what I needed and I felt so beautiful! I believe I was her first destination bride and she did so well even being pregnant made time to finish every single person and even last minute touch ups for family. 10/10 would recommend Jasmin and Co and count her as your hype girl for every event!

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!!

Heather was a dream vendor to work with. She helped make this vision come to life- from planning, strategizing my budget, introducing me to different ideas and creating pieces that I was able to use during my ceremony and repurpose for my reception. She was so understanding, flexible, easy to work with and gave me the most grace when I was undecided on something. She is patient and kind and I couldn’t recommend anyone else on such a stressful/important day- she goes above and beyond. Her communication is excellent and her attention to detail is immaculate. Our flowers were beautiful and high quality. All of the pieces were put together with excellent care and didn’t fall apart. Our boutonnières were magnets- easy for the men to put on! She created a pocket boutonnière for the groom that was so different and special. My bridal bouquet was the perfect size and wasn’t heavy at all! She even did our petals for our flower girls.

Memo really came to the rescue when we had originally booked with a studio that flaked two days prior to the wedding. Memo was extremely patient and understanding of our situation and offered us a very generous and flexible rate to accommodate us with such short notice. He maintained a positive attitude during the whole event even when the circumstances were not ideal. Memo is very professional and friendly, you can tell he is passionate about his work.

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.

I did most of the vendor research and design planning on my own, and while that was manageable, Ali’s services took the entire experience to the next level. She was a lifesaver when it came to the logistics. She kept me organized, helped me stay on track, and made sure I was realistic about what could be done within my vision and budget. Even when the process got overwhelming, Ali was there, ensuring I didn’t get lost in the details or stray too far from my goals. On the wedding day itself, Ali truly shined. From what I was told, there were a few hiccups throughout the day (which is inevitable with any event of this scale), but I never had to worry about a thing. Ali quietly and efficiently handled everything behind the scenes, ensuring that I wasn’t aware of any issues and always had a solution in place before I even knew there was a problem. Thanks to her, I was able to relax and enjoy every moment of our special day without stress. If you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, I can wholeheartedly recommend Ali. She made all the difference for us, and I’ll forever be grateful for her dedication, expertise, and calm presence. She is an absolute gem!

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!

Heather was wonderful to work with! We are the awkward type in front of a camera, but working with Heather made everything seem so stress-free during our wedding planning and photo sessions. Our engagement photo session was fun and care-free and we unbeknownst to all of us, she actually ended up taking beautiful photos of our beautiful rabbit, Trixie before she passed on the following month. Something that we truly appreciated and will never forget. For our wedding, Heather was very detailed and gave us a run down of what to expect for the photos. Nothing was hidden and she was up front about it all and asked if we wanted to add anything as well. Although Mother Nature had other plans for the day, we were still able to get the majority of our photos done. She even snuck in polaroid photos that were just too adorable - And I have no idea when she even took them! We received our wedding photos back and everyone absolutely loves them. I just love her style. While there are some photographers who do a large amount of filter/presets (no shade to those who do), there's just something about Heather's style of being able to keep it clean and natural that I just love! With Mother Nature having other plans with making it a misty ceremony and a downpour reception, we did miss out on doing a handful of photos of cocktail hour. Because of that, Heather was quick to offer us a bridal session to take some additional photos to complete our wedding. Instead of returning to the venue, we actually decided to relocate to Fort Bragg and take photos at the Mendocino Garden. The photos turned out absolutely gorgeous with the oceanic background and the dahlias that she chose to work with. She made everything seem so light-hearted and there was so much laughter with each session. Thank you Heather for everything you did throughout our wedding planning and so much more. You've captured so many wonderful moments and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

Choosing A&M FILMS for our wedding video was one of the best decisions we made. From our first conversation, they were prompt and easy to work with, which made the whole planning process stress-free. On the day of our engagement shoot, they had a gift for staying out of the way while still capturing everything that mattered. We felt free to be ourselves because the camera didn't feel intrusive.

Their work is simple yet so full of emotion, and we couldn't be happier with what they created for us.

Hey There! I am Emily Blackburn. I have been working in the event planning industry for about 13 years. My favorite thing about events is being the ringleader and puppeteer behind the scenes of each event. I live for the execution of the client’s vision and to see the smiles on their faces with the overall WOW that radiates throughout the entire event. I have been working in the San Joaquin/Placer/Nevada County areas, and have finally decided to start my own business! I can’t wait to chat with you and hear more about your event! Lots of Love, ~ Em

Sweet Soirée Event Planning was an absolute pleasure to work with for weddings at our venue. Emily, the lead planner, had a thorough, fun, and efficient communication style that put everyone at ease throughout the entire planning process. The quality of her work was excellent - she were on point with every detail and went above and beyond to ensure the client’s special day was picture-perfect. Emily arrived early, expertly coordinated the decor and timeline, and had all the vendors, staff, and even the couple having an excellent time. I highly recommend Sweet Soirée Event Planning for all your event planning needs. It's so important to have a planner who can get along well with all the vendors to create a fantastic event, and Emily and her team exceeded our expectations in every way.

We offer estimates for service if contacted directly. Our staff have more than 25 years of bartending experience. We specialize in weddings, but can do any kind of private event. After years of being stuck with mundane corporate menus, only constructing vibrant and lively drinks at home for friends and family, and dreaming of owning my own bar, we decided to start The Parched Poppies.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the opportunity to work with Parched Poppies recently for a wedding with a welcome drink, multiple bar setups in different locations and a tight timeline. I have done the same setup with multiple mobile bar services and it is never any easy task to pull this off and to do it well. Parched Poppies was a refreshing surprise and absolutely killed it for setup, professional bar service, amazing and delicious cocktails, keeping the guests hydrated without lines and being an amazing vendor to communicate and work with from start to finish! All the things I hope and wish for my clients when hiring a mobile bar service! Parched Poppies set the bar standard high for professional mobile bar services and all the packages and add-ons they offer. I can tell they love what they do and will be referring them to future clients as a preferred vendor. I cannot wait to work with them again soon.
