  • Serves Santa Barbara, CA

Planning our own wedding in 2026 changed the way we think about events. We quickly learned the difference between vendors who simply show up and vendors who make your life easier. Oak & Bloom is a photo booth experience built for couples who care about the aesthetic, notice the details, and want their wedding to feel intentional from start to finish. We obsess over the things most people don't think about until they're standing in the room: how it looks, how it flows, how guests interact with it, and whether it feels like it belongs at your wedding in the first place.

Hands down, this gorgeous photo booth from Oak and Bloom was one of the best parts of our party! From the custom props to crystal-clear pics, everything was on point and a total crowd favorite. We were laughing non-stop and now have the BEST memories to look back on. The setup looked amazing, the booth was super easy to use, and the attendant was an absolute legend—so friendly and fun! I wouldn't hesitate to book them again!

FêteFone® is a modern twist on the traditional guest book—where guests talk instead of write. Using a stylish vintage phone, your loved ones can leave heartfelt, funny, and unforgettable voice messages that capture the true spirit of your celebration. Your big day goes by in a flash, but with FêteFone, you’ll have the voices, laughter, and love preserved forever. Imagine hearing your grandmother’s kind words, your best friend's inside jokes, or the excitement in your guests’ voices—all at the lift of a receiver. FêteFone helps you capture the magic of your celebration—the joy, the tears, the laughter—in a way you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

We were initially drawn to FêteFone because it was such a fun and different idea—but I had no idea just how meaningful it would become. Hearing our grandparents’ voices, our best friends cracking up, and even the sweet slurred messages from our dance floor crew—it all made us laugh and cry in the best way. The setup was truly plug-and-play. We now keep our vintage mint-green FêteFone displayed on a shelf at home, and every so often we pick up the receiver just to relive that joy. It’s not just a guest book—it’s a time capsule of love. I can’t recommend it enough.

Unity in Glass is the original sand ceremony alternative. We took the Unity concept and Elevated it to a whole new level. We make the Glass, but you and your story are what makes our work truly special! You pick the colors that best speak to you, we ship them to you to combine at your ceremony. You mail them back, and we make you something precious to have and to hold, forever!

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn’t be happier with our experience using Unity in Glass for our unity ceremony! Since we were planning a destination wedding, we wanted something beautiful, symbolic, and easy to travel with—and this was exactly that. Instead of dealing with sand or candles that can be messy or hard to transport, Unity in Glass offered a meaningful and elegant alternative that truly captured the spirit of our day. Our guests were captivated by the idea, and we loved the thought of turning this moment into a lasting piece of art for our home. The process was seamless from start to finish. Everything arrived on time, well-packaged, and the instructions were incredibly easy to follow. Knowing we’d get a custom-blown glass sculpture made from the very crystals we poured during the ceremony made it feel so special and unique to us. If you're planning a destination wedding—or just want a fresh take on the unity ceremony—this is hands-down one of the best choices you can make. Highly recommend!

Maya Moves - Wedding Dance Lessons 
Rating: 5.0 (25 reviews)
  • Dance classes
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Santa Barbara, CA
  • Offer

Maya Moves was created for couples who want to feel confident on the dance floor without committing to multiple lessons. The private one-hour session begins by reviewing your wedding details and song. Your dance is kept short (about 1:30–2 minutes) so it feels natural and easy to remember. You’ll learn how to stand comfortably together and 3–4 signature moves (a dip, a spin, and moments that fit your song’s vibe). No traditional ballroom steps, just modern, natural movement that looks effortless. You record videos at the end to help when practicing. Maya Moves offers private wedding dance lessons in NYC and over Zoom.

Awarded Best of Zola
Maya provided us with such a fun and thorough experience as we prepared for our first dance, and we only had to do one lesson to achieve a fabulous end result. Maya was incredibly helpful, offering detailed instruction and guidance to ensure we felt confident and looked great on the dance floor. We had the most fun learning new moves and practicing our routine - it really made our first dance a highlight of the evening. We even added in one move after practicing the dance several times on our own. Highly recommend Maya Moves to any couple looking for a first dance that’s isn’t too serious but will still wow, or also for the couple bogged down with planning and looking for a fun, yet low stake commitment to check first dance off the list!

For almost a century, Maison Gabrielle has embodied the subtle art of taste. Shaped over time between the great kitchens of Provence and Paris, our family house collaborates with chefs and restaurateurs across the world, offering the finest expressions of spices, herbs, aromatics, artisanal tea, infusions and gourmet delights — all deeply rooted in the grand tradition of French culinary savoir-faire. In 2024, Maison Gabrielle chose to open this heritage to a wider audience, sharing its expertise through an exceptional collection designed to elevate home cooking with the same precision and elegance found in the most refined restaurants.

The Maison Gabrielle team were hands down my favorite vendors to work with for my wedding day! When you plan your wedding, the party favors are usually not at the top of your list, and I will say they were not at the top of ours. However, when we were thinking of what we would like to give to our guests as a thank you for joining us and celebrating our love, we could not find anything that really spoke to us. Most things we found were very cheap, very cliché, and not special enough. We also wanted to give something that would leave a lasting impression for our guests to remember our day that was small enough to fit into their carry-on bags for travel, that would not break. I came across Maison Gabrielle at a luxury retreat I went on in the South of France a year before our wedding. They helped create the cooking class. Something just told me to reach out to them to see if they also create anything for weddings…to my happy surprise they answered back immediately, and the rest is history! For an extra fee which we were more than happy to pay for, they personalized each organza sachet with a beautiful hangtag with each guest’s name on it. We use this as their place card at the table. Especially for guests who did not know each other at the same table this made for a great icebreaker. Many guests asking “ which spice did you get?” - and then conversation conversations continue to flow thereafter. Top notch professionalism, kindness, care and passion and very high quality is what Maison Gabrielle is! Celine & Dara were the best to work with!

When we ran into a small issue setting it up, the founders responded quickly and kindly (yes, real humans!). They’re clearly trying to build something thoughtful, not just flashy tech for tech’s sake. Would use it again in a heartbeat.

Kathlena from To Have & Hold is nothing short of magical. She has an incredible eye for detail and a gift for capturing the moments you didn’t even realize would mean so much until you saw them again. The reels she created for my wedding were beyond anything I could have imagined. She truly brought all my TikTok and Instagram dreams to life! She curated the most stunning content that felt so us, and I loved how candid, romantic, and joyful they were. Her editing style is clean, modern, and tailored perfectly for social media. She manages to take just a few seconds of video or a simple glance between people and turn it into something that makes you feel everything all over again — the love, the laughter, even the happy tears. Kathlena was also such a calming and positive presence throughout the day. She was very professional, warm, and incredibly easy to work with.

QRPict is a premium, app-free digital media sharing platform designed as a modern wedding guest book and photo booth alternative. Guests simply scan a custom QR code to instantly upload high-resolution photos and videos directly via their phone browser, no bulky app downloads or registrations required. Built on a powerful real-time infrastructure, it populates a private central gallery instantly. QRPict offers seamless customization and whitelabel solutions for couples and professional wedding vendors worldwide.

We used QRPict for our wedding, and it was hands down one of the best decisions we made. The photo and video sharing feature is completely frictionless our guests just scanned the QR code and could instantly upload their photos without needing to download any apps or create an account. The live slideshow on the venue screen was a massive hit and kept everyone engaged throughout the evening party. If you want a seamless, stress-free way to collect all your wedding memories from your guests' perspective, QRPict is the absolute gold standard. Highly recommended!
