Holly exceeded my husband and I's expectations as our photographer on our wedding day. Not only was she extremely professional, but she was kind, personable and very helpful.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot recommend Emerald Events enough! My husband and I got married back in May and though I planned most of the wedding myself we decided a day of coordinator was the best way to go! With our ceremony at a church and reception at our house (and 234 guests) there were a ton of moving parts to keep track of... We hired Emerald Events about a month and a half before our wedding and Rachel stepped in and immediately/seamlessly got to work bringing all the pieces of the puzzle together! She contacted all of the vendors, helped coordinate timelines, set up and take down and any other details that made the day go off without a hitch! At one point at the end of the night I saw her washing dishes in my kitchen and putting away desserts , etc! God bless her! Her assistants were wonderful as well and my guests even commented on how kind/ wonderful they all were! If you're wondering if a day of coordinator is worth it .. the answer is YES! With great pricing and an amazing staff, Emerald Events is definitely the way to go! They truly made the day so special and we can't thank them enough!

From the moment we booked The Gardens at Los Robles Greens almost two years ago, their communication was always prompt and informative. Leading up to the wedding, they answered all my emails promptly and always made me excited for my wedding. The venue provided a day for all couples getting married in the next 4-6 months to taste the delicious food options and see the elegant rental displays, which made it easy for us to envision our perfect day. We were getting married in May so our "tasting day" was in the November before. A month before the wedding, we met with the director to finalize the floor plan for our ceremony and reception, and they handled all the setup so everything looked electric, clean, and beautiful. The one challenge I had as a bride was their rule about not having a place to refrigerate the cake prior to it being set out during the wedding, but our baker was able to deliver it at the right time so that it stayed fresh during the evening. The Gardens at Los Robles Greens truly made our special day incredibly easy and stress-free. We are so grateful for their excellent service and stunning venue.

We’re Wedding & Event Planners who have endless passion for our profession! We are creative, energetic, motivated, and super organized. Through the years we have worked hard to impress our clients with efficient planning, fantastic work ethics and of course producing an amazing event! Connecting with our clients and fully supporting their vision is our daily goal. We have a great ability to see the big picture on an event, while keeping focused on the details that are so important to both vendors and clients.

Courtney was the first wedding vendor I contacted after getting engaged. As a wedding professional, I already knew the value in having a wedding planner, but as a bride I truly understand it. Courtney was there with us from day one of planning. She made the appointments for florals, venues, rentals, and provided suggestions for other categories. She got all the information and quotes for us, making it much easier on our end. She checks in to make sure our tasks are being done and offers any support if needed. Our ceremony was mostly candle-lit. Absolutely romantic, but also aboslutely time consuming to light. Courtney practiced at the rehersal so she knew how long it would take to set up, and then break down to transfer the candles to our reception. Also, pro-tip that I learned, light your candles ahead of time so they'll be easier to light! Day-of, she made sure everyone was where they were supposed to be. My family and in-laws still talk about how much Courtney and her team made the day flow perfectly. I can't thank Courtney enough for helping us execute the best day ever!

Adam Kent Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves San Buenaventura (Ventura), CA

I want the photos of my wedding that I don’t have –; that capture the moments of affection between our family members; that remind us of the little details and big feelings of that day. I want the photos of my father-in-law walking my wife down the aisle, six months before he unexpectedly passed away. Those photos don’t exist. Instead, I have a handful of blurry, poorly edited images, the half-hearted efforts of an amateur photographer who didn’t yet know what he was doing with a camera. At that time I didn’t know the value of a professional wedding photographer, so I didn’t make the investment and it’s one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I begin? My wife and I booked Adam as our wedding photographer, but he has absolutely become a friend. His work speaks for itself, which you can see just by spending a few minutes viewing his portfolio, but his professionalism is something that I believe makes him stand out amongst dozens of other choices of photographers. Our wedding day was beautiful, yet chaotic as you can imagine, and I think sometimes the venue and some vendors may forget the top priority of the day, which is the experience for the bride & groom. Adam made it clear to us, to the venue, and to other vendors that his top priority was the bride & groom, and I know that our wedding day would not have gone anywhere near as well as it did without him. The amazing photos and memories that he captured are just a bonus. All of our guests made sure to tell us how amazing Adam was and I know my wife and I will be talking about how Adam, to some degree, saved our wedding for decades to come. If you're looking for a professional, skilled, and reliable photographer, Adam is a great option. But if you're looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond and leave you feeling like your day or event would've been lesser without their services, Adam is the best. Adam is your guy.

My husband and I couldn't have been more thrilled with our experience with Brittney! From the moment I met her, I immediately knew I wanted her to be our photographer. At a wedding showcase with 30 other photographers, she was the only one I felt comfortable with. She felt like a friend from the start. Before the wedding, Brittney was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process, keeping us informed and helping us plan all the perfect shots and details. She knew what to ask and was so patient with us throughout the entire planning process. One of the standout moments from the wedding was when our 1-year-old daughter, who was the flower girl, had a full-on meltdown. Despite the chaos, Brittney was incredibly patient and worked some kind of magic to capture the most gorgeous and creative photos with our screaming toddler! I truly dont know how she did it but we got great shots of everyone. She was even patient with our dog who had to take frequent breaks from the heat! The pictures turned out amazing, and we are so grateful for her patience, her creativity, and her ability to capture the true essence of the day—even the most challenging moments. We had a very small outside ceremony in Long Beach with only our immediate families. Brittney felt like an extension of our family being there. I truly felt so comfortable with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also calm, professional, and a joy to work with!

Erin even found creative ways to repurpose pieces from our ceremony for the reception, which made everything feel cohesive and intentional. On the day of the wedding, she set everything up flawlessly and seamlessly transitioned the ceremony arrangements indoors during cocktail hour—our guests didn’t even notice the switch, just that everything looked amazing! We received compliments on the flowers all night long. Erin’s talent, professionalism, and attention to detail are unmatched. I would recommend her to anyone looking for floral design for their wedding or any special occasion. She’s a dream to work with!

I trust Lynn with all of my special occasion hair and makeup. I’ve worked with her three times already and was super excited for her and her team’s glam on my bridesmaids, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and myself. They were extremely professional, asked questions throughout the process, were open to modifications, and got us ready before our designated finish time. Their expertise with Asian features was a bonus! We were all pleased with the final result. Thank you Lynn for always doing exceptional work!

My name is Jenae and I am the lead designer at Jenae Marie floral. We are a family owned business based in Simi Valley. We draw our inspiration from our customers and are dedicated to creating the wedding of your dreams.

Jenae did the most amazing job with the floral arrangements for our wedding. The arch was the most beautiful floral arch I have ever seen and she did an incredible job with our difficult color pallet. The flowers were like art and even better than I could have ever imagined. Her floral work was truly the highlight of our wedding and made the space come together. She was always very calm and confident throughout the process and took our ideas and made our dreams that we didn't think were possible a reality. It was so nice to work with someone so competent yet calming during a stressful process. I cannot say enough thanks and praise for her amazing work.

We had the absolute best experience at Fillmore Chapel for our wedding! From start to finish, everything was beautifully organized, stress-free, and truly exceeded our expectations. The space itself is stunning and created the perfect atmosphere for both our ceremony and reception. Our guests are still talking about how gorgeous everything was. From the very beginning, Logan gave us such a warm and informative tour. He answered every question and made us feel completely confident that we had found the perfect venue. Brittany, our wedding coordinator, was an absolute rockstar. She is patient, organized, understanding, and genuinely caring throughout the entire planning process. She kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes so we could actually relax and enjoy our day. Her attention to detail and calm, positive energy made such a difference. A huge shoutout to our bartenders, Laura and Ruby. They were friendly, efficient, and fun, and our guests kept complimenting how welcoming they were throughout the evening. And the food was incredible! Everything was delicious and beautifully presented, and so many of our guests told us how much they loved it. At the end of the night, Tristan and the entire team carefully gathered our decorations, which made packing up so much easier for us. That kind of attention to detail really meant a lot. If you’re considering Fillmore Chapel for your wedding, we truly can’t recommend it enough. The entire team helped make our day feel effortless, and unforgettable. We’re so grateful to them for helping create the wedding of our dreams.

So I came to this brewery once before it was set to be the venue for my college friends wedding, since I lived close by and I’d already heard of it before from coworkers my bf and I decided to make a date night of it and check it out. I will say as a brewery I loved the vibe inside with live music, good beer, food trucks that were amazing that day plus I’m a sucker for brewery board games and dogs so all around great time! I’m not gonna lie though being there I couldn’t really envision it as a wedding venue at the moment, it was just a very different setting from ones I’ve been to before and when they said ceremony and reception would all be at the same place I was honestly confused on how it would all work.. So when I say I was absolutely AMAZEDDDD like jaw dropped instantly a few weeks later coming back in for the wedding it almost didn’t seem like the same place - the whole venue was reserved for the event and they were able to transform the seemingly small space into such a beautiful rustic and romantic setting for a wedding I was shook and stunned and all the things - turns out love makes magic possible and I just know nothing about special awareness apparently lol so aside from all the flowers and decor inside making it a dark aesthetic dream the back area was actually laid out diagonally for the ceremony and perfectly suited for an aisle with seating on both sides that didn’t feel crowded at all. It was a beautiful outdoor ceremony with no actual outside type noises like we heard no cars or any business distractions (which is kind of a pet peeve for me when attending outdoor weddings) just the live singer/guitarist! and then after the ceremony we were able to seamlessly transition into cocktail hour inside the brewery which just felt so right cause duh and by the time we made it back outside for reception it was somehow transformed again with tents and tables for dinner plus a dance area with the DJ and lights! I would never ever have guessed this beautiful wedding venue I was dancing in under white twinkly lights was the same place I was playing giant jenja in with my bf listening to covers of emo bands just a few weeks prior. All around great use of the space and this is just extra I guess but it was so close to the 101 freeway getting home was a breeze for us personally and I know a lot of the family was staying just up the street at the hotels nearby so when the newlyweds did their sparklers send off and drove away from the back area it was actually a great way for everyone to make their way around to the parking lot and disperse for the night. idk about most but personally I just love a clean getaway after the bride and groom leave post wedding.. So if you made it this far thanks for reading, hope it helped and apologies for the super long rant I just can’t get over this place enough and as I’m now looking for venues myself as a 2028 bride I came across this place and had to stop to write about it cause this one definitely changed my whole perception on what a venue could become, it altered my mentality of not judging a venue by what it looks like initially cause potential and vision are truly everything and they have that here for sure! So I wanted to drop by and give them their flowers and to help out those considering it, from my first hand experience because if I wasn’t having a destination wedding this place would definitely be a contender for us. Anyways, Happy venue hunting and congrats to future newlyweds!!

From the first moment I spoke to Meg, I knew we were going to be in good hands. We hired M and M Events for their month of coordinating package. From the beginning, Meg was kind, communicative, honest, and knowledgeable. Her forms were so helpful in organizing the important details of the day, she really took the time to get the full vision of our wedding, and she went above and beyond helping us navigate some pre wedding drama. If the wedding day had bumps in the road, I didn't have a clue because Meg kept our day as stress free as possible, handled everything behind the scenes, and executed the day perfectly to our vision. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!
