Sagebrush Films

Redondo Beach, CA
  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style

Sagebrush Films specializes in candid, natural wedding films. Weddings are awesome. Most wedding videos are corny. Sagebrush Films was created to fix that. We capture your day as it happens naturally, without the gimmicks and cheeseball editing. It should go without saying, but we film weddings for couples of any religion, orientation, color or creed.

Joel was a pleasure to work with for our couples wedding day. His communication style was effective, polite, and respectful throughout the day. The quality of his work is amazing - he is talented and intentional. He helped make their special day run smoothly and he was so helpful every step of the way. This was my first time meeting and working with Joel, and he was incredibly down-to-earth, easy to work with, and friendly. I really appreciated how helpful & flexible he was as well. I highly recommend Sagebrush Films and will be referring Joel to all of my future couples.

There isn't enough words in the world to express how absolutely amazing our experience was here at the Portofino. Ever since I was young, I always knew I wanted a beautiful oceanfront wedding, and Portofino completely delivered that and MORE. Everything throughout my wedding planning process was sooo smooth thanks to Rain, aka their most amazing wedding coordinator ever (give that man a raise!!! 3 ). Seriously -- I had 5 months to get everything done for my wedding, and there were points throughout the process where I was questioning myself and whether I should've been *more* stressed than what it was because Rain was always so communicative and helpful. You always hear stories about how the stress gets to you during the wedding planning stages, but I was fortunate to not experience nearly any stress at all and honestly had so much fun throughout the whole planning process! The staff was also just amazing during the cocktail hour and reception as well -- all of our friends and family expressed how impressed they were by everyone's attentiveness, professionalism, and friendliness. They were especially attentive to my new husband and I, and none of that went unnoticed!! Our day was literally so perfect from top to bottom. Not to mention the gorgeous complimentary room we got as the newly weds. We definitely plan to come back many more times in the future to book staycations at the hotel. 10s across the board!!! I will continually recommend this hotel to all my friends and family :)

Redondo Beach, CA
  • Florist

My passion for flowers stems back to my childhood, brought me to London, and has continued to follow me to Los Angeles for the past 30 years. I'm one of the lucky few who wakes up every morning and simply love what I do. ​ ​

Flowers By Laurel was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From start to finish, their communication was helpful, punctual, friendly, and efficient. The quality of their work was stunning, with unique floral arrangements that were incredible value for the price, working with my budget. They hand-delivered the bridal bouquet and flower girl headbands to me, where I was getting ready. Their team executed the delivery of the venue flowers seamlessly, working with our super tight timeline. Everything was perfectly in place for our special day. Flowers By Laurel truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day seamless and unforgettable.

  • Starts at $1,760

Hey! We are Margaret Mentaberry and Chris Blanchard - creative partners who met in 2020 and bonded over a love of hosting, great cocktails, and good vibes. Santé Social was born when we saw a gap in the market for elevated, mobile bar experiences while building the catering side of our restaurant, Chicas Tacos. We wanted to bring expertly crafted drinks, a touch of elegance, and a whole lot of fun to events- without the waste or the fuss. Together with our team, we have hosted events with top brands including Soho House, HBO, Amazon, Sony, WME, The Emmy’s & more- we'd love to bring that same energy to your next party.

We experienced SANTÉ at our friends’ end of summer party this past weekend and were seriously impressed. The bar cart was not only beautiful and well-designed, but it also added a level of style and intention to the event you don’t usually see with typical bar setups. They had beer on tap, the whole presentation felt elevated without being over the top. The staff was incredibly friendly, professional, and so accommodating. It was clear they cared about both the service and the overall guest experience. Such a smart, fun, and elegant way to upgrade any gathering. We’re already talking about booking them for my company holiday party!

I loved working with Robin at the Sonesta Hotel. She was an excellent event manager who cared for all our needs and was very accommodating. I had one problem that had nothing to do with Robin or the Sonesta: Someone on the wedding coordinator's staff stole my wallet during the event. We hired Koral, the wedding coordinator, which was our responsibility. Overall, it was a beautiful venue with excellent hotel staff. I would recommend the Sonesta 100%.

Hi! Let me start by saying I've been super lucky of being able to provide live music and entertainment for countless celebrations as well as sharing the stage with so many talented people for over a decade. Music is the glue in everything I do, and I felt destined to bring multicultural entertainment since I found a need for multiethnic performances in a city rich in diversity. Along with a super team of artists and vendors, we provide amazing performances to an array of culturally diverse peer crowds and everyone in between. My name is Meyra Cordova and I am your event planner and coordinator. Here to help you plan the best party ever!

The band was fantastic, we had all the Latin music we love plus all the favorite songs we previously discussed with Mey. She was easy to communicate with and get a hold of.

The actual venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and has a very nice view of the marina. The venue is well lit and the bar is situated nicely where your guest can mingle and have a drink without interrupting the flow of the room. The venue also came with our cake from Torrance bakery which was extremely delicious. The food: The food choices are amazing. Vida sat down with us and helped us cherry pick the meals we wanted to serve. The plates courses were too good to be true and the food was of the best quality and flavor. Highly recommend. The Coordinator: Vida was simply phenomenal at what she did. She made great recommendations and the day of made sure things were executed to my wife and I’s liking. Vida alone is enough to sell this venue for me. I can’t thank her enough.

Seth was the best wedding DJ that we could have hoped for! We first met Seth at a wedding vendor expo event at our reception venue and were immediately impressed by the quality of his sound system and his ability to mix the selected soundtrack live. Seth is very communicative. In our first meeting with Seth, it was already immediately apparent that he was very experienced and very passionate about making our wedding day special and everything that we wanted it to be. We felt very comfortable that he knew what he was doing, and on the day of the wedding he executed flawlessly. As for the preparation work, Seth schedules multiple meetings with you leading up to your wedding day which eases a lot of the nerves heading into busy planning season. Seth also has an app that you can download on your phone which is awesome because it allows you to edit details of your wedding day timeline and playlist on-the-go as we were making decisions during the planning months. On the day of the wedding, Seth came prepared having downloaded all the music that we talked about ahead of time and he kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT (over 3 hours). Seth responded to the audience and was able to mix a variety of genres that we had requested (like country, pop, spanish music, musical songs, etc) over various sets across the evening. He also coordinated our photo booth which was a nice touch that all the guests really enjoyed and had a second person stationed there for help all night. We couldn't recommend Seth enough to other couples who are in need of a DJ! Thank you, Seth!

Tiffany was the best! I was recommended Tiffany by another friend who used her for her makeup for her wedding and I’m so glad I did. She was so communicative and so timely in her responses! And she really heard me when I told her what I wanted and emphasized how important to me my freckles are and letting them shine through the makeup. She found the perfect partner for my hair styling, and I truly felt so so beautiful on my wedding day. I looked in the mirror and exclaimed how much I really felt like a bride after finishing in the chair. Compliments all night from guests and it looks so good in makeup. She also handled the moms and bridesmaids makeup so well, everyone looked so gorgeous.

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

We are so grateful to have had Randall as our photographer for both our engagement and wedding day. From start to finish, he was a dream to work with professional, warm, and so thoughtful in his approach. For our engagement session, we wanted to recreate the Japan vibes since we got engaged there, but we weren’t sure how Little Tokyo in Downtown LA would translate in photos. Randall completely exceeded our expectations. Between the Venice Canals and Little Tokyo, he perfectly captured the aesthetic we were hoping for, and the final shots were stunning. On our wedding day, Randall went above and beyond. He made my bridal party feel so at ease his presence was calm, kind, and unobtrusive, which helped all of us relax and enjoy every moment. He captured everything: the big, emotional highlights and all the small, beautiful in-between moments. Now we have a gallery full of memories that we’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for a photographer who is incredibly talented, easy to work with, and genuinely cares about delivering your vision: Randall is it!!! We couldn’t be happier!

From start to finish he was extremely prepared and provided us with all the materials needed to organize the music and run of show. As both DJ and MC, James truly went the extra mile to make our day run seamlessly, and made us feel so special. He was even accommodating to our last minute music requests and was very patient with us. In addition to being extremely professional, prepared, and organized, he is such a down-to-earth and kind, genuine person. He even captured some videos of our first dance and grand entrance that we wouldn't have had otherwise because we didn't have a videographer. This was so thoughtful and truly above and beyond! We personally added on the photo booth option and are glad we did, as it was a hit. His rates were very reasonable as well especially for the package we got. Everyone raved about James and the music.

I’m not even sure where to begin to describe how amazing Events by McKenna is at what they do!! McKenna is the most kind, helpful, and enthusiastic person to assist you during such an important time in your life. She made sure everything went perfectly on our wedding day and every day leading up to it! When we first started our wedding planning journey, we only knew where we wanted to have it, and due to the venue location not regularly being used for weddings, we needed to outsource vendors for everything. That's where McKenna came in and helped us out by hand-picking every vendor that she knew would provide the exact things we were looking for. From catering, florals, furniture rentals, DJ, and all the little details, she knew who would be perfect for the job and she was right about every single one! Every time we had a question or a crazy idea, she had an answer right away and she would do everything she could to make it happen. One thing that we were really hoping for was getting a disco ball above our dance floor, but since we were outdoors, it wasn’t looking promising. McKenna was the one who made sure that we got our disco ball, and it was absolutely perfect! That’s just one example of the many ways McKenna ensured our dream wedding would become a reality. On the day of, McKenna and her team were so efficient and handled everything so that my husband and I could relax and focus on ourselves. We got to our venue and everything was already done and ready to start the day! McKenna was amazing at time management throughout the day, and she was so helpful to not only us, but our families, wedding party and guests as well. Everything went perfectly on schedule and all the crazy ideas that we had came to life with no issues! It was truly the best day of our lives and it wouldn’t have been possible without McKenna’s help! I could write so much more on how incredible Events by McKenna is, but to sum it all up, they are the best choice for your wedding planning and coordinating needs and you will not regret choosing them for your big day!!

Our photographer was simply the best we could ask for our engagement and wedding. We've had a couple of photographers before in the past, and yet none of them knew how to properly guide us on how to pose for any of the photos. The photographer was a master of their work, and it shows in the photos. Sadly, our time was very limited for both occasions because of our dogs, as they got easily distracted by their surroundings, wardrobe changes, and the time frame we picked with the sunset. Thankfully, they somehow made it work by rushing everything to catch as much sunlight as possible for our photos. Thank you for capturing these special moments with us—we will refer you to all our friends for their special occasions as well!

My partner and I’s venue search ended the second we ascended in the historical elevator to the penthouse of the James Oviatt Building. The Oviatt venue is a multifaceted piece of beautiful Art Deco history that lends itself well to whatever event you are trying to throw. In our case, they hosted our wedding. We will forever be grateful for their immense care and kindness leading up to, on, and after the big day. We met the President Gabe first, who had his own wedding at this venue before he managed it. He made us feel right at home and answered every question we could muster. Our one hour showing turned into a two and a half hour conversation where his care and passion for the venue and his clients became very clear. We felt a connection right away. He shared a wealth of great advise and reassurances and gave us an impeccable pool of preferred vendors. We were sold in minutes. Every event is different, but my partner and I did not feel the space needed any help to become beautiful. The architectural art of the space is breathtaking and unique from the valet area outside of the Cicada Club all the way to the terrace. We saved a fortune on a florist. Who needs one when everything is already so classy? Speaking of class, the Director of Events Lindsey took point on execution and was our resource during the planning process. I as an individual am not the most communicative. I needed someone with that attention to detail and she delivered. After giving her all the venue required specifications (seating chart, insurances, etc,) two conversations was all it took for her to equip the venue with everything it needed and make it gorgeous. It seemed effortless for her. Not a spec of dust or dirt to be seen and the staff was respectful, efficient, and welcoming. I had a panic attack because I forgot to ask them for valet and she was able to get her people on it without issue the same week as the wedding. (Don’t be like me, but that is a perfect example of how on top of it they are.) They had EVERYTHING we could have wanted for a downtown metropolitan wedding and then some. If they didn’t have it? They knew exactly where to refer you. One of my personal favorite features was their completely customizable LED lighting strips on the hedges that lined either side of the rooftop. We had them a bright warm light for dinner and then a cycle of rainbow colors for dancing. They are inclusive and welcoming to any and all who come to visit. We felt valued, respected, and well cared for. It truly was the best day of our lives and we owe it all to The Oviatt. I implore to to reach out to them. I can say with certainty that you won’t be disappointed and whatever it is you are planning will become a memorable experience unlike any other.

Our wedding day was actually perfect and I attribute much of the success of the day to her and her wonderful assistant Jessica. We also added on the design option, and she really brought our vision to life. She designed all of our stationary for us, printed it, and had each personalized card for every guest. The florist she reccomended Allison (The Occupied Vase) just absolutely nailed it. So many compliments and I felt very well taken care of. Not to mention, our venue made a huge mistake and booked another event during our wedding rehearsal and she rearranged her life to be there for us at a way earlier time (none of us wanted to be there so early, but the venue gave us no choice). And of course she was there smiling, never complaining, in such a good mood putting us all at ease, and running a very successful rehearsal for us. So, even if you don’t think you need a planner, you should highly consider spending the money to have someone who is a complete professional, who is always early, who is dedicated to your wedding 100%, (even when you don’t always have time to be). We love Tavi!! She rocks!!! :)

Victoria and her team are an absolute pleasure to work with! They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and were able to give us amazing advice on what they wanted to capture and always asked if we wanted anything more. Every conversation/consultation we had with Victoria, gave me the reassurance that Cruzio Studios was the right fit for us. She sent us a preview collection within 3 days of our wedding with amazing and stunning photos. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to shoot our engagement and wedding. Thank you for everything and we definitely recommend choosing Cruzio Studios to capture your special event!

I specialize in capturing wedding days as they truly unfold — honest, beautiful, and full of real moments. My style is documentary with a touch of fine art: minimal posing, natural light, and an emphasis on emotion and connection. You won’t find stiff, overly staged shots here. Instead, I focus on the laughter between vows, the teary hugs, the chaos and joy that make the day yours.

Peter and his team at Bedrosian Photo were a dream to work with. They communicated with us multiple times before the wedding to ensure they captured every moment we wanted and more. The quality of their work was timeless and dreamy, with natural colors that truly captured the spirit of our special day. We received the photos and video within a month. Bedrosian Photo was a true professional team that didn't have an annoying ego - they simply focused on delivering amazing results for us.
