We were having a difficult time finding our perfect venue, and then along came The Revery. It is a stunning blank canvas with a touch of industrial appeal, something my partner and I were definitely fans of both being from NYC originally. Beautiful bathrooms, a full kitchen for catering, and a lovely little room for the wedding party to hide out in as need be. There are options for basic rentals, but the best part about this place is the flexibility to make it whatever you want it to be! We held our ceremony in one portion of the downstairs veranda, and cocktail hour on the other side. Then everyone went upstairs to the big reveal of the reception. So convenient to have it all in one place. The surrounding area also has some really cool graffiti, as well as some vibrant green space, perfect for taking different arrays of photographs. Monica is the sweetest, and she and her team were very helpful and responsive, and despite how busy they are, would always find time for us. They made everything flow so seamlessly and feel so special on our big day. We seriously couldn't be happier with choosing The Revery for our wedding.

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

Eveni Floral Design 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

Hi, I’m Zoey. I founded Eveni based on my love for all beautiful things. I seek to design the perfectly imperfect, creating unusual yet subtle designs that reflect nature with an undiscovered beauty that is effortless and refined. It is the marriage of these two cultures which gives the work such meaning, combining beauty with balance. I love the way floristry allows me to unleash my inner artist. Putting together displays of seasonal colour and texture is at once fiercely creative and immeasurably soothing, and being able to create wedding flowers that play a part in people’s happiest memories makes it all the more rewarding.

Awarded Best of Zola
We chose Eveni Floral Design as our wedding florists, and it may have very well been one of the best decisions we ever made to work with Zoey and Carrie. From the get go, we had a very specific design in mind that was difficult to describe. We wanted something colorful and cheery, natural and whimsical, yet elegant, refined, and tasteful. We also didn’t want just a boring classic rose-based design either, but weren’t looking to be wildly experimental. We interviewed numerous florists and provided them all with our color palette and some inspiration pictures, and while several were great, Zoey and Carrie really nailed the concept we were looking for right away. They proposed beautiful arrangements that were even more stunning during the mock-up, and were able to work with us to repurpose flowers from the ceremony for the reception. Any communication we had with them was prompt, professional, and easy to work with. They always were willing to make adjustments as we went along, and even accommodated other requests, such as making a dog collar for our dog to wear in the ceremony! And when it came to the wedding day, Zoey and Carrie absolutely blew us and our guests away. Not only were they right on time, quick in the set up, and during the transition of repurposing, the flowers themselves were PERFECT. They were all fresh, perfectly open, wonderfully vibrant, and artistically arranged. The colors of the flowers were vibrant, and their creativity in choices allowed for such a fun mix! Just looking at our bouquets brought an instant smile, they were just so cute, elegant, and playful, just like the vibe we hoped our wedding to have. And when we say our guests were absolutely floored by how absolutely lush and luxurious the florals were, we mean it. Every piece, from arch, bud vases, centerpieces, and floor arrangements had texture, height, whimsy, dimension, and color. They were neither too greenery heavy or overly stuffed with flowers. We had been to several weddings , and so had our guests (or had even gotten married themselves), and we received numerous compliments about how stunning our arch, bud vases, table set ups, and high / low centerpieces were compared to other weddings. By the end of the night, all the florals were taken by our guests! And while we had 10 tables, a full arch, innumerable bud vases and candles, and over 8 aisle pieces, Eveni Floral Design had some of the most fair/competitive pricing of all the florists in the SoCal area. We would HIGHLY recommend Eveni Floral Design for any event, big or small— they are so immensely talented, humble, and kind. We cannot thank them enough for making our wedding cohesive, beautiful, and absolutely us.

I have known Analissa for a long time, as we have a friend in common. When it came time for my wedding, I immediately thought of her, as I had seen firsthand how beautifully she had done our friend's hair. I had given her an inspirational picture of my hair, and she did miracles with the volume and length. ' Til this day, I think, I looked the most beautiful I ever have. And considering my husband and I continue to be happily married, some credit must go to Analissa. I'm so glad she could join us in this celebration as well.

Indigo West 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

I took up photography at the ripe age of 11 with a Polaroid I borrowed from an aunt. It quickly became my sketchbook as I worked to capture stills of the world and people around me. Those images have continued to pay emotional dividends throughout my life, helping me better understand what I have now come to see through a new scope. They are grounding, melancholic, funny and beautiful. Some of my most cherished possessions.

Choosing Daniel from Indigo West as our wedding photographer was hands down one of the best decisions we made. From our first conversation, we loved his calm, thoughtful demeanor and his organic, artistic approach to capturing the day. His eye for composition and detail is exceptional and the photos truly tell a story. As a same-sex couple, we wanted someone who could move beyond traditional wedding clichés, capture the grandeur of our museum venue (complete with dinosaur skeletons) while making it feel intimate, and handle dark, dramatic spaces. Daniel did all of that and more. He captured the energy, emotion, laughter, and joy of the day beautifully. Daniel was efficient but never rushed. He was professional yet playful, and it felt like he immediately understood our dynamic as a couple and with our guests. We trusted his vision completely, and it absolutely shows in the photos. Most importantly, Daniel brought such a fun, relaxed energy—it never felt like he was just doing a job. We can’t recommend him enough.

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

People often debate what's most important for a wedding: is it the venue, the food, the flowers... ?  It's the memories, and putting them in the hands of artists who can show you the heart and soul and feel of every moment - moments you can't plan for, you can never adequately take in, and many you would simply miss. Jarrod and Taylor are certainly technically gifted photographers and videographers, but more importantly they are artists whose true love is capturing yours.  The name says it all: The Narrative. My bride Ali and I will be forever grateful that we found and convinced them to tell our story.  I could imagine a thousands different weddings, but none without them by our side. Thank you, Jarrod and Taylor, you beautiful humans, for your truly awesome and unbelievable care, vision, and talents.  You've given us more than we could have ever imagined or even hoped for, through your perfect lens.

Magaly's work caught my eye because of its vibrant and colorful nature and her final product truly delivered on this! I was also drawn to the personality of her website and she just looked like a fun person to spend time with. What impressed me the most was the amount of effort she put into researching the location we wanted. I told her I wanted murals at ROW DTLA and she came back with a map of all the murals there (without having ever been there herself)! I was super thrilled with the amount of prep and planning that she did, and it made the whole session go so smoothly. Magaly was so lovely and easy to work with - it felt like hanging out with a friend and we had such a blast.

Where do I begin?!! The Portofino Hotel & Marina was INCREDIBLE!!!!!! From day one all the way to today, a few days after the wedding, all the staff we encountered has been excellent!! Specifically I want to give a shout out to Sierra, Rain, Luis, Paco, & Mac. Sierra was my main hotel wedding coordinator and contact. She was so responsive, attentive, organized, sweet, available, and amazing!! I couldn’t be happier with her and her services. The entire experience was seamless. We planned an entire wedding in under 2 months together as I was eager to marry my man this year. She was so helpful and explained any and all things when I had questions. Starting with booking the venue all the way to the day after the wedding. Everything was so organized, including the deadlines of decisions I needed to make, and payment info, and what to do if it rained. She had everything covered. THANK YOU THANK YOU SIERRA!! Rain was also another venue coordinator & catering sales manager who helped us too and he was amazing as well. He stepped in when/if Sierra was out of the office and he attended our tasting and answered so many questions as well. He was so nice, sweet and great to work with. Very organized and never missed a beat! Thank you Rain!! Luis, the director of Banquets, handled anything food and drink related and everything was perfect. He even placed two of each hors d’oeuvres at our sweetheart table (knowing we probably wouldn’t get a chance to eat them during cocktail hour as we were busy mingling) and he was right!! It was such a sweet, simple gesture that made a big impression on us. Paco was one of the Bartenders from the day of (I never got a chance to meet our other bartender) and he was so fun and cheerful and positive and an overall great spirit. Guests kept telling me how much they loved Paco and me too! Mac worked on the hotel side and we met him when we checked in and he handled ALL our luggage and he also golf carted me around on the actual wedding day so I didn’t have to walk too much. He was super sweet and was so helpful and had a great vibe! Also, my initial point of contact was Melanie who responded to my initial venue request. She was so great and helpful and responsive that right away we were sold and we booked the venue the next day without ever even seeing it in person. On top of all the AMAZING staff, the venue is just absolutely beautiful!! You can’t find a prettier ocean front venue in the So Cal. Just gorgeous. We chose a type of all-inclusive wedding package that included a sit down 3-course dinner, open bar, ceremony, hotel room, wedding cake, and many more perks such as white linen, candles on each table, arch on the ceremony grass, champagne toast, etc. It was perfect, efficient, organized and made my life so easy. I really didn’t have to do much except invite guests and show up!! many of my guests told me afterward they were so impressed with the staff, venue and the food!!! Seriously, the food was excellent. I know all of this sounds too good to be true but honestly it was. I had zero problems, no horror stories, nothing. It truly was a PERFECT day and overall experience. I also found out afterward that a coworker of mine got married here too this past summer and she said the same thing. Her day was perfect as well and I am not surprised at all.

Hey hi, I am Vital (pronounced as Vee-tal), and I am your most chill wedding guest with a few cameras around my neck and a cheerful smile. I have been a wedding photographer since 2016, and every year I fall in love with my job more and more. My wife and I have a dog and a cat. We love to travel, eat good food and binge-watch good shows. I enjoy reading or listening to books, especially adventure novels and biographies. Alpine climbing, backpacking, and road-tripping are among my favorite activities too. There is more to my life story on my website :)

My husband and I loved working with Vital for our wedding photography and videography! Neither of us enjoys being photographed very much, but Vital is super friendly and put us both at ease. He was very easy to communicate with and was a welcome addition to our wedding day. We never felt like they were in the way or interrupting. We got through the obligatory group shots very quickly which I think everyone really appreciated! His photography is beautiful, both posed shots and candids. He has a great eye for design. Plus we got married last week and already received over 50 photos from our gallery!

This was an annual dinner meeting for Assistance League Santa Clarita, a nonprofit. Having Crystal Note DJ, Edgardo, there took this event over the top. We had women in their 80's and one aged 90, on the dance floor and having a good time. This was, without a doubt, the best December dinner meeting thanks to Edgardo.

Hi! I’m Gui Bittencourt, a multicultural wedding photographer and videographer based in Los Angeles. Since 2017, I’ve had the honor of documenting love stories across cultures, traditions, and backgrounds—each one authentic, vibrant, and meaningful. My style blends candid storytelling with gentle guidance. I’m not here to stage your day—I’m here to capture it as it really felt. The quiet glances. The belly laughs. The way your people show up for you. Whether you're planning a joyful celebration or something more intimate, I’ll be there with a calm presence and an attentive eye, so you can stay fully in the moment.

Awarded Best of Zola
Discovery & Initial Communication I learned about Gui’s services through word of mouth. A friend highly recommended him after hiring him for her son’s birthday party. Based on her glowing review, I decided to hire him for my very intimate civil ceremony. My main goal was to have the event beautifully documented so we could share the final video with family and close friends. From the very start, communication with Gui was seamless. He was responsive, efficient, and incredibly patient when addressing my detailed inquiries. One aspect I truly appreciated was his initiative to schedule a pre-event video call. This gave him the opportunity to get to know us, understand our personalities, and discuss our expectations for the shoot. His willingness to listen and incorporate our ideas made the entire process feel collaborative and personal. Planning & Preparation One of the reasons I chose Gui was his ability to include a highlight reel in the video package—something I really wanted. During our meeting, he welcomed my ideas and suggestions for the final video, showing a genuine interest in delivering a product that reflected our vision. Gui’s level of preparation was impressive. He took the time to scout the courthouse and a nearby park beforehand, ensuring we had the best possible locations for our shoot. His preparedness and attention to detail gave me peace of mind leading up to the event. The Day of the Ceremony On the day of our civil ceremony, everything went smoothly. Gui greeted us warmly at the courthouse, immediately setting a positive and reassuring tone. His calm and easygoing demeanor helped ease my nerves—something I truly appreciated amidst the mix of adrenaline and excitement of the day. He captured moments effortlessly, allowing us to be present and enjoy our special day without feeling overly directed or staged. Final Thoughts & Recommendation Overall, I couldn’t be happier with Gui’s work. His professionalism, creativity, and dedication to capturing our special day exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for a videographer who is not only talented but also personable and well-prepared, I highly recommend Gui. 10/10 – Would definitely hire him again!

I had the pleasure of having Josh from Surreal Soirees as the DJ for our wedding, and I couldn't have been more thrilled with the experience. I first crossed paths with Josh while working at a nightclub together, where he spun incredible sets, and I was a photographer capturing the moments. When it came time to choose our wedding DJ, it was a no-brainer to reach out to Josh, and he delivered beyond our expectations. One of the standout qualities about Josh is his unwavering commitment to understanding and accommodating our musical preferences. We had a long list of song requests that ranged from classic hits to more obscure tracks, and he made sure to incorporate all of them seamlessly into the evening's playlist. Josh's ability to read the room and adjust the music accordingly ensured that everyone, from the grandparents to the party animals, had a fantastic time on the dance floor. Another aspect of Josh's service that truly impressed us was his professionalism. He arrived at the venue well ahead of schedule, taking care of all the setup and sound checks without any fuss. Throughout the evening, he maintained a polished and courteous demeanor, interacting with our guests and responding to their song requests with enthusiasm. His attention to detail and commitment to making our wedding day special was evident from start to finish. Josh and Surreal Soirees brought an exceptional level of energy and expertise to our wedding celebration. Our guests are still raving about the music and how it added to the overall ambiance of the event. We couldn't have asked for a more talented, professional, and accommodating DJ for our special day. In summary, Josh and Surreal Soirees exceeded our expectations in every way. If you're looking for a wedding DJ who not only listens to your music preferences but also elevates your event with their professionalism and skill, Josh is the one to choose. Thank you, Josh, for making our wedding unforgettable with your incredible music and exceptional service.
