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!!

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.

I can honestly say that Ali was our wedding-planning superhero! When we first started planning our wedding, I wasn’t even considering hiring a wedding planner since our venue came with a coordinator. However, looking back now, I truly have no idea how we would have pulled off our wedding without Ali. She was absolutely indispensable! 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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We reached out to Becca when we realized our wedding celebration day was going to be too much for ourselves or even trusted friends and family to coordinate on our big day. This ended up being the best decision we made for planning! Becca truly loves what she does and you can tell by how much care and thoughtfulness she put into every detail. She met with us multiple times while we were planning, helped us immensely with scheduling our timeline, and reached out to every single vendor so that they would reach out to her instead of us—which was so helpful as things got busier and busier! She also helped by making customized decals for our signage/mirrors and completely saw the vision for how decor would look! On the big day Becca was our biggest supporter—picking up our florals, arriving at the venue extra early, cut and arranged flowers for tables, decorated every table, organized drinks, made sure they stayed cold, and handled every detail for our entire timeline! Someone gave me advice early on to do whatever I could so that I could feel like a guest at my own wedding, and not have to make any decisions or answer big questions. Because we reached out to Becca and got her day of coordinator services that came true for us and I am so thankful!

There are truly not enough words to describe how exceptional Stephanie is as a wedding planner. She is, without a doubt, the absolute best. Planning our wedding in under a year while I was balancing graduate school out of state seemed like an impossible task, but Stephanie made it not only achievable but also enjoyable. From the very beginning, she took the time to really listen to my vision and understood exactly what I wanted—then she brought it to life in a way that exceeded my expectations at every turn. Despite the challenges I faced with my hectic schedule, Stephanie always made the process feel stress-free, fun, and exciting.

Her relationships with these vendors made a huge difference in the quality of service we received and made the planning process run smoothly. When it came time for the big day, Stephanie truly shined.

Her calm demeanor, problem-solving skills, and level-headed approach allowed my husband and me to completely relax and enjoy our special day without a single worry. Stephanie’s thoughtful, caring, and thorough approach to the entire wedding process made all the difference.

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!

Hi! I’m Azaria. I am a Northern California-based Travel Wedding and Elopement photographer. How did I get here? I grew up in small-town Nebraska with a love for adventure and photography. I got to explore those passions when I got married, my husband joined the military, and we got stationed overseas. I used that opportunity to travel and see many countries. When we returned stateside, I pursued my passion for photography by getting my degree at Brooks Institute of Photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
Azaria not only delivers a beautiful product, but she is a beautiful person inside and out. Her talent behind the lens is undeniable. My husband and I booked her for a wedding vow renewal in the California Redwood forests. Originally we went with her because she knew the area and could help navigate us during the day (plus her instagram was proof of her skills!), we ended up getting so much more. She recruited her husband David to stand in as our "officiant" (even though we're already married), and the care and attention to detail he took made the ceremony so much more sacred. It was his energy that truly led the vows. Azaria spent all day with us and creatively had us posing and positioned behind the most spectacular scenery. She thought of all the things I didn't: maps, cell service, comfy shoes, jackets, and more. She truly gives her whole energy to your event. We had several zoom meetings leading up to our travels she makes herself available for all ideas or questions. I was surprised when she told me how many clients she works with annually because my husband and I felt like we were the only ones- her attention to detail and talent are outstanding. I'm grateful to have had her shape and capture our day.

The Winchester Estate by Wedgewood Weddings was an absolute dream come true! From the moment we stepped onto the property, we knew it was the perfect place for our fairytale wedding. The ivy-covered walls, romantic ambiance, and stunning grounds made us feel like we were living inside a storybook. Every detail was beyond what we imagined. Taylor, our coordinator, was incredible from the very start. She kept in constant contact, answered every question, and somehow managed to think of things we didn’t even know we needed. She made us feel so heard and cared for every step of the way, and she even ensured that allergies and personal preferences were handled thoughtfully and seamlessly. When Ben took over on the day of the wedding, everything flowed effortlessly. He kept the timeline running smoothly while making sure we could just enjoy the moment. And then there was Drew — our amazing DJ — who truly brought the party to life. He made our music feel personal, got everyone dancing, and even joined in on the fun himself! He somehow managed to keep the little ones entertained (and contained!) when their lightsaber battle got a bit too enthusiastic — a true hero of the night! The entire staff went above and beyond, dancing along with us, smiling, and adding to the energy of the celebration. It never felt like they were just working an event — they were part of it. Their joy matched ours, and that made the night even more unforgettable. Our wedding at Winchester Estate was everything we dreamed of and more. It was magical, effortless, and filled with love and laughter. We’ll cherish it forever!

I am a passionate DJ Service provider and I have had the pleasure of working with Judi on few events. Each event was meticulously planned and executed. She is attentive and goes above and beyond to deliver excellent service to the wedding couple and whole of the event. Before the event, she shares appropriate information, follows up on requests and ensure all parties are kept informed on the planning. On the days of the event, she is always available and keeps a careful watch on activities as the celebration progresses. She is a super organizer and working with her is a very pleasant experience.

DJ Barnett Entertainment was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Troy's communication was quick, professional, and clear, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, Troy's organization and attention to detail were evident as he seamlessly kept the event flowing and all of our guests entertained. Troy is such a nice person and he's accommodating and very aware of how stressful weddings/planning can be. He is always doing what he can to make sure his couples have the best day possible.

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.

Nicky is the best! Everything was so easy. She was so relatable and fun! Since we were eloping, the pictures were even more important since that's all our family and fiends could see. Everyone has told us our wedding photos were the best they have ever seen!

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!

Our recent wedding at DG vineyards was incredible. The views were stunning and I think choosing this venue contributed to my wedding planning being so stress free. Also while being 6 months pregnant I never had an issue with them. The wedding director Justin was outstanding and so helpful. You will have your dream wedding if you choose this venue! They were quick and responsive when needing items and asking for help. Very supportive and professional. No one will regret choosing this venue and it is quite high end, as well. Worth every cent

These ladies absolutely crushed bartending our wedding and our guests were raving about how good the drinks were all night long! I am pregnant so couldn't even drink the alcoholic options but they made a delicious "mocktail" option as the signature and went so far to bring me a NA bottle of wine to drink as well. Super thoughtful, incredible bartenders, ingredients were fresh and their mixers that they recommended for our signature drinks were unmatched. I wish I could buy the mixers at the store to enjoy these cocktails (mocktails) more often! Better than most cocktail bars I've been to (and we live in SF). Don't hesitate - book them now!!
