We had the absolute best experience having our wedding at Tijeras Creek from start to finish. Logan and Bryce were our points of contact and they made every piece of the planning process seamless. We opted not to have a day of coordinator and the way the Tijeras Creek team was there for us, felt like the same level of support. They had a ton of recommendations for vendors if we needed (we used the DJ they recommended and he was amazing!) The backdrop of the ceremony was picture perfect. They also had a bunch of recommendations for spots on the course to take our photos after the ceremony and gave us a golf carts to use with our photographer. The communication was always very thorough and quick to get back to me on the millions of questions I asked. They have a ton of options for food selection and style of service but we really had our heart set on Mexican food. We had been to Tijeras Creek for their Taco Tuesday so we asked if we could have that as an option. They were more than happy to accommodate and our guests RAVED about how good the food was! Everything about our wedding day was a 10/10. Thank you Tijeras Creek team!!!

DJ Solstice 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Rancho Santa Margarita, CA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,900

With many years of experience, our team of experts are trusted names in the wedding DJ business. Our DJs are great at reading the crowd & keeping the energy up on the dance floor with clean mixing and smooth transitions, while also knowing when to slow it down for those special moments or throw it back to some classics. Guests are blown away by the level of professionalism (and a good bit of fun) our team provides, with dedicated experts in lighting/sound design, photobooth, and MCing. With music catering to all generations, we excel in keeping the flow of the event and eliminating dead time, while PACKING that dance floor!

All the roses to this guy right here! My wife Rachael and I had our wedding at Aliso Viejo Wedgewood and DJ Solstice far exceeded my expectations and those of our guests! I spent excruciating days and hours combing the internet, listening to plenty of vlogs and samples from DJ after DJ, for anyone that can match the vibes my wife and I were seeking for our wedding and Matt absolutely delivered! He continued to work diligently with me as we worked through our vision for the wedding day and he was noting short of a consummate professional through the whole processes despite the obstacles, definitely worth every bit of time and budget we had set for him! Every single guest we had come up to us loved him from his transitions, to his control of the dance floor and vibes, and even his ability to MC was far above what we have experienced in other weddings! Not to mention all the lights, sounds, and CO2 cannons he brought out! Certainly at the grade and level he promised when we first met and more! We asked for an EDM Set and he gave us one way above anything we ever expected, and we've seen plenty! For a day we don't ever plan to replicate again in our lives, I'm glad my wife Rachael and I were able to share this day with Matt and his team and they have our highest recommendation we could give to anyone for ANY of your music genre needs! Matt, looking forward to seeing your future clips, gig logs, and your continued growth in the forseable future!

Led by Kimberly with the support of her husband, we bring a personal touch and shared commitment to creating truly unforgettable weddings that reflect your love story.

Awarded Best of Zola
Summary/TLDR:  We had a big wedding with a lot of complex personal decor set up and Kimberly and Travis went above and beyond! Lessen your stress and book her! Full review: My now husband and I had a big wedding at the Disneyland Hotel, and Disney does not handle any personal floral or decor, so we knew we would need help!  We hired Kimberly for her full day of coordination service for things not provided by Disney, and it was one of the best decisions we made.  When I first reached out, she responded quickly to let me know of her services and to set up a call. I was already pretty set on hiring her from the reviews I'd seen, but the call was also extremely helpful! After hearing about our details, she recommended a DJ for us to request from Disney, who was absolutely perfect for our wedding! In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Kimberly checked in to see how I was doing and if I needed help with anything, even though I had only hired her for the day of coordination, which was so kind and thoughtful!  We had a large wedding with over 250 guests, and our bridal party was huge as well, so there were a lot of moving parts.  I was pretty frantic the morning of our wedding as I had overslept with so much left to do. Kimberly was so helpful with everything - and really helped reduce and lessen my stress, which as anyone getting married would know, is priceless! Kimberly and her husband handled all of our personal items so well! Several of which had to be set up multiple times (e.g for the ceremony and then for cocktail hour or for cocktail hour and for the reception). We had multiple guestbooks, some of which had multiple parts, multiple card boxes, favors for each family that had to be set up alphabetically (150 bags), a huge memorial table full of pictures that I wanted set up in a very specific way, reserved row signs, a welcome sign, Filipino shawls for the wedding godmothers, custom bar signs, Venmo signs for the money dance etc. We also enlisted their help last minute to help guide people to their table for the reception because of the way our seating chart was set up. Some cousins were supposed to help with that but got caught up in the moment and forgot! But Kimberly and Travis handled it themselves and made sure everything went smoothly! At the end of the night, she and Travis made sure to pack up all of our personal items and bring them back to our getting ready room.  Kimberly and Travis also worked seamlessly with the Disney staff and other vendors! After the reception ended, I realized I had lost track of my Disney bouquet, to which I had attached irreplaceable sentimental items, and Kimberly, who was on her way home, texted our Disney day of coordinator to help us find it in the nick of time!!  If Kimberly was this fantastic with just day of service, I can't even imagine how incredible she is with full planning. I absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone! Brides and grooms - do yourself a favor and hire Her!

DJ Dominiq

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,995
  • Serves Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

My name is Dominiq and I have been in the wedding industry since 2006. I absolutely LOVE what I do. My middle name is Jakob so my name is literally DJ, I was born for this. I have 6 sisters so not only do I love what I do, but I believe in it as a hopeless romantic at heart. I enjoy bringing together families and friends to forget about their problems for a day and just enjoy life and celebrate.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dominiq since 2009, and he has consistently been the key to elevating every event. His DJ skills are exceptional, with a diverse music repertoire that can energize any crowd—even those who seem reluctant to dance. Yet Dominiq’s value extends far beyond the music. He is a natural problem-solver, always proactive when it comes to event flow. If anything runs off schedule or unexpected issues arise, he steps in with solutions and keeps everything seamless. Dominiq’s MCing is charismatic and engaging, effortlessly connecting with diverse audiences—different ages, backgrounds, and preferences. No matter the setting—indoor or outdoor—his setups are flawless. From lighting to photo booths, he brings a polished experience. His communication is always clear, prompt, and professional. Every time I plan an event, securing Dominiq is my first step, because he brings it to the next level—every single time. Here’s a photo of Dom and I from 2014 when he DJ’d at Club Sutra in Orange County CA.

"I am still in awe. 100/10 absolutely phenomenal. Thank you for above & beyond service. BOOK HIM you will not regret it." -Reese Free. As you compare performers, you likely wonder what makes one a better fit than another. Of course, musical skill is important. This is something I've developed in my 15 years of playing. But there's more than that—it's the ability to fit seamlessly with a DJ, to connect with vendors behind the scenes to minimize weight on your shoulders, to deliver your important songs in a way that accentuates the emotions of the moment. With Seps, you can expect a performance of a lifetime, with the easiest prep imaginable.

We had an incredible experience with Tyler’s Saxophone Experience from start to finish. Booking was easy, the contract was thorough and clear, and Tyler was extremely communicative throughout the entire process, which made everything seamless and stress-free. I booked him for my daughter’s XV, and he truly went above and beyond. Tyler listened carefully to all of her song requests and put together a hip, amazing playlist that perfectly matched her style and the vibe of the event. He even took the time to visit the venue ahead of the event to scope out the space and make sure everything was set up for the best possible experience. The ceremony songs were absolutely beautiful, and during cocktail hour he was upbeat, engaging, and brought such great energy. We received several compliments from our guests about how much they loved the music and the atmosphere he created. I would absolutely book Tyler again and highly recommend him to anyone looking to elevate their event with a talented, professional, and thoughtful musician.

I decided to book LVLF for my November wedding at Rancho Las Lomas as my day of coordinator, and I’m so glad I decided to have the team there with me. I’m so grateful for Chiell and her team supporting me before my wedding and during my wedding. I seriously didn’t have to worry about a thing the day of our wedding and the team took care of every situation that popped up. They took care of everything from contacting my vendors before the wedding, keeping in touch with vendors, directing guests, helping set up the venue with decor that I brought, and even loaded up cars at the end of the night. They were incredibly organized, thoughtful, and always kept us on track throughout the day of the wedding process and before. One of the highlights of this team is their familiarity with Rancho Las Lomas, they knew what they had to do beforehand and carried everything out flawlessly (especially considering the size of this venue). The team even made sure to carry out the vision that I had in my head, and did a better job than what I could have imagined. They all paid attention to the little details that I even would have missed, this team is truly impressive. I will forever recommend LVLF to anyone that I know that is having an upcoming wedding, they are seriously the greatest team ever.

So blessed to have Joey for our June wedding with lavender theme. Highest ROI florist in SoCal if not the whole country! Love her genuine care about our style and budget, her effective communication, her attention to details, especially her efforts to go extra mile to ensure a perfect wedding. Besides arranging flowers, Joey also helped with cake decoration, table card distribution, seating chart placement with her own mirror and waxing seals etc., leaving us full peace of mind before and during the wedding day. She didn’t charge extra labor cost for loading/unloading, unlike other florists we quoted, and we need to thank her husband for the logistics part too! Joey also solved the emergency caused by the church runner I bought. Luckily she offered to help set up the runner and found about the wrong size the day before she took the folded runner out for ironing. Although I didn’t use her service as planner or coordinator of the wedding, I can tell how awesome she will be when she wears those hats. Hope more brides-to-be can get to know her before signing with other florists & planners.

If you're reading reviews questioning on if you should hire Serenity, let this be your sign as a YES DO IT HIRE HER SHE IS AMAZING! There are so many words I could use to describe Serenity and her teams services they provide but I wouldn't have enough room, she is the kindest, sweetest, most detail oriented person we have met. We hired Serenity earlier this year to be the day of coordinator for our wedding and not only was her price fantastic but what she offers with her packages is even better. She was with us from the moment we put down the deposit. She answered every email we sent her within a day and was always so bright and full of light. She took over all communications with all vendors 2 weeks prior to our wedding to relieve some stress and it definitely did, on day of she stayed in communication with both of us and even when the bride was running a tad bit late she did everything in her power and got us back on schedule! She made the day so magical and got every request done and even more. She kept all the vendors in order and even our other vendors were calling us the following day say how great it was to work with her and she made it so easy for them too. We plan on using her again for any other event we need her for and will be recommending her to anyone and everyone. Thank you for everything you're amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better coordinator.

From our first inquiry, the team at San Clemente Shore by Wedgewood Weddings was incredibly thorough, informative and organized. Our coordinator, Noelle, was experienced and made sure our vision came to life in an elegant and fun way. Noelle and her team paid meticulous attention to every detail, ensuring my husband and I were taken care of all night - they even packed us a bag of food and cake to take home! We are so grateful to the San Clemente Shore team for making our special day even better than we imagined. We couldn't have asked for a more professional, experienced and organized group to work with. We are thrilled we chose this beautiful venue for our wedding.

Claudia made our wedding on April 5th, 2025 at Ole Hanson Beach Club in San Clemente absolutely perfect! From start to finish, she made the whole planning process so smooth and stress-free. She totally got our vision and made sure every detail was handled perfectly on the day of the wedding. She made our welcome mirror sign, let us borrow bud vases that we used on our sweet heart and welcome table, and truly brought our vision to life. She gave me great vendor recommendations that I ended up using and had a great experience with. On the day of, everything ran like clockwork — all thanks to Claudia. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing and got to just enjoy the moment. She’s super organized, calm, and genuinely cares about making your day special. We’re so grateful for everything she did and couldn’t recommend her more! (Amazing photos of the tables by Geoff & Lyndsi Photography)

We were fortunate enough to see Herbert's work at our friends wedding and were blown away and decided to request his service. Both the experience through the wedding day and the final video went above our expectations! On the wedding day, Herbert was very actively involved in working with us to get the best and multiple shots. He even went above and beyond to stay after the scheduled hours and capture additional shots for the bouquet toss. The final edited movie blended the whole day fantastically and exceeded our expectations. He was able to pick the best highlighted and worked with us so patiently to re-edit to include the most memorable moments for us. We are very glad we made the right choice to go with Herbert and will definitely recommend to any friends in the future.

We had pictures taken when our daughter was 2 months old and our son was 5 years old. They were so good and patient with the kids. At one point, I had to stop and nurse my baby and they were so flexible. They even took a few pictures of my husband and son making the most of the time while everyone waited. Now we enjoy getting to look back at those pictures and the sweet memories. Wyld Story captured that time in our lives perfectly!

The University Club by Wedgewood Weddings made planning our wedding from out of state incredibly smooth. Their team responded quickly to every question. On the day of, we didn't have to worry about organizing or corralling people because everything was already set up and running like clockwork. The venue itself is beautiful and clean, and we were impressed by how reasonable and all inclusive their pricing was. We felt completely taken care of from start to finish, and we'd absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for a convenient and reliable venue. Lisa was the best day of coordinator and we got to be fully present and enjoy our day without worrying about any logistics. We loved all our recommended vendors (Blue Heart Entertainment, Corey with Weddings by LMP, Patty’s Cakes, Juno Bee Charcuterie) and have no regrets about the best day ever!

DJ Czar went above and beyond to ensure our wedding ran smoothly. From planning to the day-of, Czar thought of everything so that we didn't have to worry about any loose ends. He is a great communicator and extends a sense of peace and positivity that allowed us to enjoy the whole process and go through our big day with minimal worry. We gave him a short list of must play songs, along with a couple of genre and artist preferences and he got the mix for our night perfectly. Our guests had lots of fun and didn't stop dancing until the end of the night. We recommend Czar 100% and hope to hire him again for any future family parties!
