“Crystal at Exceptionally Yours was phenomenal. We booked her as a day of coordinator but even though she was just for the day of she was still there every step of the way. Planning a wedding yourself is hard but she was available to answer every single question we had and gave advice when were stuck on what to do. She was extremely responsive, almost always responding within 24 hours at the latest but usually much quicker! She never seemed annoyed by my MANY questions I had and would check in with us to ask us how things are going or to remind us where we should be at in the planning phase. The tools she created helped us stay very organized. She was very LGBTQIA friendly. There was a minor hiccup with my partner’s parents being 20 mins late but she must have started going in overdrive because the rest of the night you would never have known we were behind schedule. I highly recommend hiring her for your wedding!”

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!”

On the wedding day, Taylor did my makeup, my bridesmaids’ makeup, and my mom’s makeup, and everything turned out beautiful. She made everyone feel comfortable, confident, and looked their best. My bridal makeup lasted all day and photographed perfectly, and my bridesmaids and mom were so happy with their looks too.

After The Tone is on a mission to further human connection with the creation of the audio guest book. In 2020, we started the company after first introducing the idea at our own wedding. The service provides a vintage rotary phone for guests at any event to leave voicemails on. Then, the phone is shipped back to the company’s headquarters where the messages are transferred onto a digital file, USB, or vinyl record as a way to relive those special memories through the voices of loved ones.

“After the Tone Guest Book provided an exceptional experience for our wedding day. Their communication was timely, friendly, enthusiastic, and incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was clear, professional, and quick - we were thrilled with the final product. After The Tone allowed us to cherish the voices and memories from our special day in a way that photos or written cards simply could not. We had such an amazing experience all around and are so impressed with the quality of the recordings we captured. We would 1000% recommend After The Tone to any couple on their wedding day. Being able to hear the emotion in our loved ones' voices is something photos or cards simply can't replicate. We've loved listening back to the messages from our friends and family, and know they'll only become more meaningful with time. We're so grateful we chose to include this unique memento of our wedding day!”

“We hosted our wedding weekend at Casa Loma Beach Hotel recently, and it exceeded every expectation. With guests flying in from across the country and around the world, we heard nonstop praise about how cozy, elegant, and effortlessly chic the hotel felt (plus the cocktails and cookies were top notch). The staff was incredibly accommodating--helping with porterage, clear communication, and even a few lost-and-found rescues (thank you Amber!). Allene and Elisa were standout stars throughout the weekend helping us host several events at the hotel over three days - and stepping in to address curveballs from vendors and weather. When a once-in-a-blue-moon monsoon forced us to pivot from our planned rooftop events, the Casa Loma team handled the change with grace and creativity, preserving the overall vibe we envisioned. Guests-both locals and out-of-towners-couldn't stop raving about the views and the unbeatable location. Some spent time in the cute nooks and crannies throughout the hotel or relaxed on their balconies with those unmatched ocean views (when the rain finally let up), while others wandered over to Marine Room for late-night drinks thanks to the perfect location. And of course, the food via Sapphire was amazing! We were able to check off all our boxes when it came to cuisine and transport our guests to all ends of the earth with food from the Mediterranean, Malaysia, and South America. The Late Night Bites of sliders, fries and chicken tenders were crowd MVPs at our Afters. Thank you to the entire team for transforming a rained-out wedding weekend into the intimate, romantic wedding of our dreams.”

“Working with Hannah was one of the best parts of our wedding planning experience. We hired her for partial planning, and from the very beginning, she made everything feel so manageable and stress-free. She really took the time to understand our preferences and helped us find the perfect vendors that matched our vision and vibe. Hannah was always organized, responsive, and incredibly helpful. Whether it was hopping on frequent Zoom calls, keeping us on track with timelines, or replying to texts with thoughtful advice (even for the tiniest of questions). Her calm and kind energy made the whole process not only smoother but also more fun. One huge bonus: her team also offers wedding rentals! We rented candles, décor, and a large seating chart from them, which was such a lifesaver. We didn’t want to deal with sourcing all of those items or figuring out what to do with them afterward, so being able to rent directly through her made everything so much easier. Our wedding day went so smoothly, nothing went wrong (or if it did, I had no idea, because Hannah was on top of everything!). I wouldn't change a single thing about it. It was truly perfect, and a big part of that is thanks to her. Now that the wedding is over, I honestly feel sad I won’t get to work with Hannah anymore! If you're even slightly on the fence about hiring a planner, do yourself a favor and reach out to Joyfully. They were such an essential part of making our day as amazing as it was.”

“We found Tyler after going to a friend’s wedding and his music spoke for itself, we knew we had to have Tyler at ours. He was seriously one of the best parts of our weekend in Todos Santos. He was super easy to work with from the start, very professional and everything with him felt simple and stress free. We knew we were in good hands from the start. What made it even better was how he fit right in with everyone. He, and his assistant Tim, were hanging out and making friends with our guests in the days leading up to the wedding, so by the time the actual party started, it felt like they were already a part of the group. It made the whole night that much more fun. And the party absolutely went off. The dance floor was packed the entire time, the sax was such a hit, and he knew exactly how to keep the energy up. People were dancing all night and we had so many guests talking about how great he was afterward. He even MCed for us in English and Spanish. And to top it off, he joined all of our guests in an epic pool plunge to end the night. We couldn’t recommend Tyler enough. He brought the party and helped make the night unforgettable.”

We booked Kimberly’s Ever After for Partial Planning Services because we knew we wanted her expertise onboard as early as possible, and it was hands-down the best investment we made for our big day. From day one, Kimberly was incredibly enthusiastic, responsive, and clear in her communication. As a former Disney bride herself, her deep insider knowledge of the Disney wedding planning process was priceless. She took the time to truly understand our vision and helped us bring every detail to life. Whether it was researching and helping us book outside vendors or keeping us organized during our monthly check-ins, she made what could have been an overwhelming process feel completely seamless and much less stressful. One of the areas where Kimberly truly shined was helping us navigate our floral review and Banquet Event Order (BEO). She meticulously went over every line item with us and helped us strategically allocate our budget—saving us money where it made sense so we could invest in the special touches we valued most. We had a ton of DIY elements, personal decor, and favors, and Kimberly along with her husband, Travis, worked absolute magic bringing it all together. They handled full setup and teardown for our Welcome Party at Brisa Courtyard and our three-location wedding day at Disneyland Hotel (ceremony at Rose Court Garden, cocktail hour and reception on Adventure Lawn, and our after-party at Sleeping Beauty Pavilion). Knowing they had everything handled across so many venue transitions gave us total peace of mind. Kimberly and Travis went far above and beyond in every single way.

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Peter on several events over the years, but having him DJ our wedding was an entirely different level of amazing! Peter is not only incredibly talented but also so kind and thoughtful. His attention to detail is unmatched—his music questionnaires are thorough and really allow you to customize your wedding playlist to fit your exact taste, rather than offering a generic mix. It was so refreshing to have music that truly reflected *us*. Since we didn’t have a wedding coordinator, Peter went above and beyond. He helped me review our timeline, offered helpful suggestions from his experience, and kept everything running smoothly throughout the day, making sure we stayed on track. Peter’s kindness shines through in everything he does. He genuinely cares about making sure your event is perfect. As a surprise bonus, he even created the sweetest highlight reel of our wedding day, which was such a thoughtful touch that I wasn’t expecting at all! If you’re looking for a DJ who will make your wedding day run seamlessly, deliver an amazing playlist, and genuinely care about your event, Peter is your guy. I can’t recommend him enough!”

Hi! I’m Serenity — SoCal-based wedding planner, Day of Coordination pro, and unapologetic lover of crisp Diet Coke. I started out slinging appetizers as a banquet server and worked my way up through the wedding world, from intern to venue coordinator to full-blown planner. Now, I lead a team of professional knot tiers who live for the little details and smooth timelines. You bring the romance — we’ll bring the timelines, the tissues, and maybe a spare safety pin or two.

“We had the privilege of having Serenity as our day-of coordinator on our special day and she was absolutely the BEST!!! Serenity is so talented at what she does! She is very organized, detail oriented, thoughtful, and so kind. She took care of ALL the details for us and made sure everything was planned ahead. We did not have to worry about a single thing the day of— we just got to sit back and enjoy the day (as it should be). She also assisted in setting up our personal decor at the venue and did a perfect job with her assistant. We were so beyond happy with how everything looked. I got so many compliments from family and friends saying how amazing the timeline of the day was and also how everything flowed so well (thanks to Serenity!!). So if you’re looking for a day-of coordinator do yourselves the biggest favor and hire Serenity! You’ll be so happy you did!! Thank you for everything Serenity, you’re awesome at what you do!”
