Not only is Jesse so talented, he is also so kind and caring. Taking pictures can be so uncomfortable and he really put our nerves at ease and directed us in a way that resulted in epic photos. I would 100% recommend him. We also added on video services and I’m so glad we did. I cried within thirty seconds of watching the highlight video he made. It was so well done and something I will cherish forever. He also guided us on the timeline for our wedding so we would have the best lighting and that was really important as we had the time of sunset wrong and we had booked the ceremony at the wrong time. Because of Jesse’s expertise we were able to adjust everything in time before we sent out the invitations.

Bryce, My wedding day was perfect and amazing and I feel so blessed to have chosen Tijeras Creek for our October wedding this year. The day of the wedding was amazing. Everything ran smoothly and we know a large part of this was because of you and your hard work behind the scenes. You had promised our friends and family who needed help to get down to the ceremony would receive VIP treatment, and sure enough, they did! They all commented about the kindness and friendliness of the staff who escorted them in the carts. Please thank your staff for their wonderful attitudes and meeting the needs (and wants) of all the guests. I truly appreciate all you have done! It has been almost two months and we are still talking about the wonderful day. There is a sparkle in my eye when I talk about the magic of that day. It truly was a fairytale wedding and it was amazing. My husband said it was the best day ever!

DJ Solstice 

5.0

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!

Joyfully Co. was founded with the heart and mission to serve every bride and groom joyfully as they plan for the one of the biggest transitions of their life. With event design, styling, and coordination as our forte, we provide our services to make the planning process as smooth and painless as possible for our couples. Knowing that no couple is the same, we cater to each unique vision and inspiration that they have to conceptualize all the details in order to make their dream wedding a reality.

Awarded Best of Zola
We got married in October in the OC, and hiring the Joyfully team to help us plan our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! We went with the full-service package as my partner and I both work pretty demanding jobs. In hindsight, we are so glad we opted for the full-service package because doing so saved us so much time and stress. There is still so much you have to do and deal with during wedding planning so it was great to know that we had a team behind us taking care of things and keeping us on track. Blaire was our main planner, and we also worked with Hannah and Sharon along the way. All 3 ladies are so kind, knowledgeable, and overall just a pleasure to work with! With the full-service package, the team connected us with the most amazing vendors at varying price levels, which we appreciated. This saved us SO much time of having to do our own research. We also really appreciated the honest advice they gave us in terms of where to spend vs. where to save. This is the kind of insight that we would've never had on our own and was so valuable to receive from an experienced wedding planner. There were also a few times where Blaire stepped in and advocated on our behalf with some of our vendors which resulted in less stress for us and more money saved. They also worked with us to execute the vision we had in terms of design and aesthetics. Even though we had a few changes of heart with some design elements along the way, the team didn't flinch and gladly adjusted things for us. Joyfully also offers their own rental items (discount included with the full-service package), and renting most of our decor items through them also saved us a lot of time and money (can you sense a theme here?!). Fast forward to our wedding day, everything looked so beautiful and the evening went so smoothly. It was truly the happiest day of our lives! We had always heard horror stories of things going wrong on your wedding day, but for us, none of that happened & if it did, we didn't even know because Blaire and her team took care of it for us. We got so many genuine compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed our wedding and a lot of that was because of the thoughtful planning efforts of Joyfully Co.! We are truly so grateful for the Joyfully Co. team and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone searching for a wedding planner!

949 Studio met and exceeded my expectations for the wedding day! Our DJ Mike was considerate of our wants and met with us a few times before the wedding day to ensure everything was nailed down. He double-checked our chosen songs and made suggestions if he thought one of them wouldn't work. He really brought the party to the wedding day! Our MC Matt was top-notch. He made sure that he had everyone's names correct, that our timeline was on schedule, and was able to work on his feet when something didn't happen exactly in the timeline.

Kimberly’s Ever After Planning is an Arizona-based husband-and-wife wedding planning and coordinating team, serving Phoenix, Scottsdale, and destination weddings including Southern California. 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!

He even joined in on some of the dancing, which I loved, and after my wedding, many raved about his dancing and DJ skills. He made our wedding unforgettable!

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.

Tucker and Alyssa were awesome. They flew all the way to Geneva (Switzerland) and, even though they had never seen the wedding location(s), they nailed it, producing dream pictures and an awesome video. So how did this all happen… where do I start? When my fiancee and I were planning our (Covid impacted) wedding, we were not really sure how to fit in photography and video… We had almost given up on the idea until we got in contact with Tucker and Alyssa. On extremely short notice, they planned the trip, and delivered, 110% on expectations.

Jenny Markham Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the beginning, Jenny was open to all of our ideas and easily accessible, making the planning process a breeze. Her whimsical style and ability to capture photos with a sense of motion and energy were exactly what we were looking for. I remember Jenny told me that she would never make us do anything just for a photo and would never make us do anything twice - she wanted our photos to be natural, which I loved. On the day of the wedding, Jenny fit seamlessly into the background, working hard to capture all of the special moments, both big and small. She found the perfect spot for our first look and even helped me recreate some shots I had seen on Pinterest. Jenny was also flexible and accommodating when we surprised her with a first look request with my dad and grandfather. We are thrilled with the beautiful, dedicated photos that Jenny delivered, and we would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a talented, personable photographer to document their wedding day.

I have so many good things to say about Celebrations by Brandi aside from being AMAZING! First off, she is an wonderful human being. I knew from the beginning that she was the one! Talking with her was like to talking to a girlfriend. She is genuinely kind, warm, fun, and easy to talk to over the phone. I regretted not hiring her from the beginning because I went with another wedding planner (The W Event Planner) due to budget, which was the biggest mistake ever! I ended up losing my deposit with the other event planner, but it was all worth it when I finally got the planner I really wanted from the beginning. I was very grateful that Brandi was still available for my wedding and that she was kind and understanding enough to take me back after explaining what had happened with the previous wedding planner I hired. After that it was history! Brandi became the person to go to for any and all advice (psychological stuff too!). It was so easy to see her as a friend. Being able to fully trust her with every detail of my wedding just made wedding planning that much more less stressful and made the whole process much more fun and exciting. Throughout the whole process Brandi was always available to help calm nerves and offer effective solutions to all problems, big and small. She was always on hand, day or night, to offer support and guidance. I found the enormity of planning a wedding rather overwhelming at times, while trying to live up to the expectations of myself and others. She took away this worry on so many occasions. Her eye for detail, focus on perfection and wealth of knowledge on all things wedding was invaluable. On the day she was by our side with her assistant Victoria, making sure everything ran smoothly, and we trusted their organization and decision making on our very special day. Together, they did an amazing job! I couldn’t have asked for a better duo on my wedding day so if you are looking for a hugely talented lady, who genuinely cares about your wedding – almost as much as you do – then look no further because Celebrations by Brandi can and will deliver 110%. Thank you Brandi and Victoria, you really made our day the best day of our lives!

From the moment we started planning our wedding, my husband and I knew finding the right photographer would be one of the most important decisions we made. We were immediately drawn to Love & Latitudes after seeing their gorgeous, high-quality photos online. Diana, the lead photographer, was incredibly thorough, encouraging, and supportive throughout the entire process. She allowed me to fully enjoy our wedding day while still capturing all the special moments, like highlighting our beautiful floral arrangements and the natural scenery at our indoor/outdoor venue. Diana has an incredible eye for detail and truly knows how to make any wedding look incredible, even if you aren't having an elopement in an epic location.

We had an amazing experience working with Paru Art Studio for our wedding hair and makeup! She was extremely responsive throughout the planning process, with clear communication and quick replies to texts. On the day of, she was right on time and we had a very relaxed and fun morning. She was flexible when I wanted a change to my hair as well. Paru did a fantastic job with my hair and makeup - it looked great in the pictures! She also styled my husband's hair, which he doesn't normally do, and it held all night even though he has a massive cowlick. Her services were reasonably priced and worth every penny.
