Best Day Ever Weddings + Events 

5.0

Santee, CA
  • Planner
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $1,800

Stephanie Wooding (Owner / Lead Planner) When it comes to planning your event, it’s really about how that person (or team) embraces and uses that job experience in a resourceful and creative way. I’m a practical, organized, creative, resourceful, and resilient, “jeans and t-shirt” type chick. Well, the San Diego part of me is anyway. The LA in me is a driven, problem-solving, A-type, “take no guff” lady boss, that gets the job done on time, and within a realistic budget.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Stephanie Wooding and Best Day Ever was the reason we were able to actually enjoy our wedding day. We met with other planners, but Stephanie stood out right away — she’s warm, grounded, and incredibly organized. From the start, she made the process feel less overwhelming and helped us make smart decisions without pressure. Leading up to the wedding, Stephanie helped us stay focused, keep all the details moving, and feel confident that nothing would fall through the cracks. Then, about a month out, we transitioned to her associate Jenn Anderson as our day-of coordinator. We were a little nervous about switching that close to the wedding, but it ended up being seamless. Stephanie clearly set Jenn up for success, and Jenn was phenomenal — calm, proactive, and completely unflappable. The day itself felt smooth and stress-free, and multiple guests even told us how impressed they were by the coordination. That’s the biggest compliment — because it meant we got to be present, have fun, and soak it all in. We’re so grateful to Stephanie and Jenn, and we would recommend Best Day Ever to anyone who wants their wedding to feel truly taken care of.

Our hair and makeup team was absolutely incredible! They made everyone look stunning and truly brought our wedding morning to life. What I loved most was how they listened to each person and made sure everyone’s look matched exactly what they wanted — everyone felt beautiful and confident. They also brought such great energy and conversation to the morning, which made getting ready so fun and relaxed.

Hi!!!! I am Nikki and it is my joy to provide you with beautiful images of your day. Seeing you relaxed, laughing and feeling beautiful is what fills my personal love tank. Seeing the joy on your face when I ask you to do something silly or say something secretly to your spouse, it's just the best! I love knowing you will have the images I capture for a lifetime. No matter what your wedding day looks like I am here to capture all of the sweetness, tears and laughter of the day. The wedding day itself is a bleep in the lifetime of memories you will make with your partner but it is my joy to make sure you remember each and every magical moment!

Nikki and Taylor were absolutely AMAZING!! Their energy is fantastic and they are very professional. We did both our engagement and wedding photos with them and they turned out incredible! I could not recommend them more! Nikki was willing to have a Plan A, B and C in place depending on if a family member was going to be able to make an appearance-it meant so much that we had plans in place depending on if the family member could make it.

The Lovers Photography

Santee, CA
  • Photographer
  • Classic style

We’re Chris and Briana, the husband–and–wife team behind The Lovers Photography — storytellers drawn to the quiet, soulful magic of moody sunsets, intimate moments, and love that feels lived-in and real. We’re partners in life, in art, and in raising our two little wildlings, who remind us every day why the small, fleeting moments matter most. Between nap schedules, messy mornings, baby giggles, and the beautiful chaos of family life, we’ve learned to celebrate the beauty in imperfect, honest, heart-wide-open living — and that’s the same energy we pour into every story we capture.

I can’t say enough good things about working with this photography team. They are professional, calm under pressure, and incredibly thoughtful in how they move through a wedding day. They communicate clearly, respect timelines, and make the entire experience seamless—not just for the couple, but for every vendor involved. Their eye for detail is exceptional, and it’s obvious how much care they put into capturing genuine, emotional moments. They create a comfortable atmosphere that allows couples (and vendors!) to feel at ease, which truly shows in their final work. I always know when I’m on a wedding with them, the day will flow beautifully and the end results will be stunning. I would happily recommend them to couples and vendors alike and look forward to working alongside them again.

Awarded Best of Zola
Dancing DJ Productions was the most incredible DJ I have ever worked with. As someone who dated a club DJ and being a wedding photographer who meets a lot of music professionals, my standards are pretty high. But DJ Grande exceeded all my expectations. His communication style was friendly, concise, timely and accommodating throughout the planning process. The quality of his work and value was exceptional - he provided a smooth transition between songs, was flexible in accommodating my song requests, and was thorough in going through the timeline to ensure all my music was accounted for. He played every single song I requested, which was super important to me. I also really liked that this company was a one-stop shop, as I added on up-lighting, cold sparklers, and a photo booth, all of which were very affordable. Dancing DJ Productions helped make our reception feel like an old middle school dance vibe, which was exactly what I was going for. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

CONNER UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT!! My husband and I gave him a few "must have" songs and explained the vibe/type of music we like- leaving him pretty much in charge of the playlist. HE NAILED IT. He played banger after banger making it impossible for myself and guests to leave the dance floor. He even included clips from some of the speeches that were given earlier in the evening. INCREDIBLE! I've had several people since, ask for his contact information to play future events! If you're looking for someone to keep the dance party flowing- call Conner! 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!

On the day of the wedding we had such a great time, and they really had an eye for what moments to capture. They were also super flexible too. We had 3 different locations (getting ready, ceremony, reception) so of course we went over time. I asked if they could stay another hour. Which they immediately said yes to- meaning they worked for 11 hours that day! I have recommended them and will continue to do so!

I've been djing since I was 15 years old. I had a fascination for parties and events at an early age. I tagged along with my brother who dj'd at house parties back in the early 80's. I was hooked after seeing how much joy the music brought out in the crowd. I started buying my own 12" records, and it evolved into doing my own gigs: house parties, jr. high & high school dances, colleges, raves, underground parties, night clubs, weddings, corporate events, and so on. I started my DJ business in 1987, and have been honing my craft now for 3 decades. Thirty plus years later, I continue to love what I do. Now let's get the party started.

We are so thankful we booked Angela as our wedding coordinator! Even though she was just our "day of" coordinator, she started helping us 6 months before with the timeline and details. She is extremely organized and prompt in her responses. We appreciated being able to meet with her in person, rather than a zoom call. Angela was recommended by our venue Tom Ham's. She provided valuable insight and suggestions that helped our wedding day run smoothly. Also, she came prepared on the wedding day with balloons and lollipops to keep the kids happy, and the adults were thankful! We cannot recommend her enough, she is a pro!

From the start, Kristine's communication style was straightforward about what to expect, quick in response time, and genuinely comforting. She checked in on us emotionally and made sure to keep us in check when it came to getting our weekly homework done. We are both very busy attorneys, so it was comforting to know that Kristine would gently nudge us and remind us of the immediate tasks that needed to get done. Her team's dedication, attention to detail, and invaluable expertise made them an indispensable part of our special day. We went into our wedding day expecting something to go wrong, as that is what everyone told us to expect when planning a wedding, but Kristine made our day flawless. Not a single detail was overlooked, and Kristine captured our vision perfectly, right down to the lovely woven baskets that held the flowers down the aisle. Kristine also helped us start preparing for the wedding 16 months in advance, so that by the time we were 2-3 weeks away, there was barely anything left to do. I felt so calm and confident the whole time, knowing Kristine and her team had everything under control. Kristine also did our flowers, which was perfect because as our planner, Kristine understood exactly what our vision was!

Her passion for what she does is so evident. You can feel the love and care she pours into every single detail. But what truly stood out was how much she cared for us. Clémence was there not just to plan the wedding, but to make sure my husband and I felt supported, calm, and cared for every step of the way. She wasn’t just a planner; she was a steady, reassuring presence, offering both her expertise and her emotional support, problem solving skills when we needed it most. Her eye for detail is unmatched. She coordinated every element with such thoughtfulness and precision that everything came together flawlessly. She brought out the culture and traditions so well! And it wasn’t just us who noticed - our friends, family, and loved ones are still talking about how beautiful the wedding was and how amazing The Perfect Pair Wedding team was. We’ve been receiving so many texts and calls from guests, all raving about how stunning the day was, thanks to Clémence and her team in coordinating so well.

Hi! My name is Ayleen and I have been a makeup artist for 5 years. In my few years of experience I have been able to learn a lot from working in photoshoots, along with other artists and at countless weddings. From my first bridal makeup I’ve done on a close friend, I knew that’s what I wanted to do as my job. It took a few years to build my career and I am so glad I chased after my dream of becoming a bridal makeup artist. My favorite part of what I do is being able to be a part of such a special day in your life and there’s nothing that makes me happier than making girls feel their best.

I had a fantastic experience working with Ayleen, and she made me feel my absolute best for my wedding day. She was kind, communicative, punctual, and the few tweaks we made to the plan after the trial/ for the day itself were exactly what I wanted. I seriously couldn’t have asked for a better experience/ product for makeup for myself and my bridal party. Ayleen is so talented and is truly an artist. I definitely recommend going with Beauty by Ayleen for any event, you won’t regret it!

Wedgewood Weddings provided catering services through Abbey Catering & Events for our December wedding in La Jolla, CA. We contacted the Abbey well ahead of time to receive a proposal for comparison with other catering groups. One of the reasons we leaned toward the Abbey is due to our initial conversations with Will Konecki. He was so enjoyable to speak with, and he helped hash out the initial details for our event. He provided us relevant documentation for menus, event rentals, and details on the included floral package. Will also made suggestions for cost-effective solutions to achieve the event atmosphere we wanted to provide for our guests. Will’s event experience allowed him to answer all of our questions, and he was very responsive via phone and email. We attended one of Abbey Catering’s tasting events where we met Will and other staff in person to taste the different appetizers and entrees. Some memorable favorites were the mini beef wellingtons, the feta-stuffed dates with bacon, and the sesame-soy glazed salmon. We were stuffed with all the food we tried, and we got to see some options for how the guest tables can be decorated. This is also where we met our assigned event manager. Our assigned event manager was Petr Trebin. As our event date got closer, Petr was very communicative of upcoming deadlines and requirements. Petr was extremely fun to work with. He shared excitement in all his communications with us and made sure we were taken care of well before the event. Petr was onsite throughout the duration of our event and went above and beyond in taking care of us. For example, he set aside a plate of all our appetizers and signature drinks inside the bridal suite room so we could eat our appetizers and drink our beverages in private without having to wait in line. Furthermore, he checked in on us throughout the event to make sure everything was going well and we didn’t have any questions or requests. Before the evening ended, Petr noticed that we barely got to touch our entrees due to being occupied with our guests so Petr packed two meals for us to take home as well as bites from our dessert bar. Petr was a pleasure to work with, and he made the experience wonderful from start to finish. Post-wedding, he shared with us all the photos and videos he took during the event which was a nice gesture. We highly recommend Abbey Catering for catering services for your wedding or any other event!

We had the absolute best experience with this venue on our wedding on June 22. From start to finish, everything was so organized and seamless. The team answered all of my questions quickly and thoroughly throughout the planning process, which really helped ease any stress. Everything was laid out and organized. You can tell they have good systems in place to ensure smooth planning. On the day of the wedding, Lauren (our coordinator) was an absolute angel. She was calm, collected, and brought such a positive, grounding energy that made a huge difference for me when I was feeling overwhelmed. She handled so many behind the scenes details that I didn’t even have to think about, and her communication throughout the process was amazing. Sierra, our banquet captain, was also incredible! She made sure the groom and I always had a drink in hand, checked in on us regularly, and went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying every moment. And Isaac, our DJ did such a great job at accommodating our music style and requests. You can tell the whole team loves what they do. The venue itself is stunning. It's clean, beautifully maintained, and perfectly set up so that the ceremony and reception are close together. It made everything so convenient for our guests, who all raved about how beautiful the space was. We also got tons of compliments on the food from our buffet, it was delicious and a huge hit. If you’re considering this venue, I highly recommend it. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a better team to help us bring our wedding day to life.
