“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.”

Adam Kent Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
Thousand Oaks, CA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

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.”

Hi, I'm Lu. Weddings are more than just events — they’re a collection of fleeting, beautiful moments that deserve to be remembered just as they felt. From the quiet anticipation before the ceremony to the joy on the dance floor, my goal is to capture the raw emotion, the small in-between glances, and all the laughter and happy tears that make your day uniquely yours.

“Timestopped Productions was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photography. Their communication was fantastic - they were always reaching out to check in and make sure we were on the same page. The quality of their work was exceptional, with beautiful colors and a great mix of film and digital photography that captured our day perfectly. They went above and beyond, asking us ahead of time for a list of our top 3 moments we wanted captured, and then making sure to get those special shots. During the wedding day, they took their time to find the perfect places to shoot before the reception, and then flawlessly captured every moment during the reception. It was fun working with the two of them together, and they were very organized and professional, yet also made us feel so comfortable while taking our photos. We are thrilled with how our wedding photos turned out and would highly recommend Timestopped Productions to any couple looking for a wedding photographer!”

Our experience and vast knowledge of hundreds of venues in southern California help us become one of the most referred DJ companies in southern California, particularly in the wedding industry.

“Wedding dance floor music is so so important and Chris nailed it! The dance floor was full the whole night. He met with us a few times in the months leading up to the wedding to make sure he was aligned with our vision. He even went out of his way to make sure we had music for our sparkler exit and then again for our private last dance at the end of the night. He's fun, professional, and will actually listen to what you want and make sure it happens. Highly recommend this company! Thank you Chris!”

Kiernan Michelle Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Thousand Oaks, CA
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,950

My favorite part about what I do is working with all of the great couples I get to meet. I love getting to know my clients and discovering what is most important to them about their wedding day. Each and every wedding is different and each deserves a unique approach to capture thoughtfully. It is exciting that I get to see into so many different little worlds every day. My motto is to do everything in love, and I feel like that is reflected in my work and attention to detail. Also, its great getting to be around happy people all day!

“On your wedding day things go by so quickly and it can be difficult to think back on specific moments or individual details. So, I can't overstress the importance of getting great photos that capture things as they were, rather than just an exciting blur of color and familiar happy faces that your memory will likely be left with. Keeping that in mind, the photographer you choose and trust with such an integral part of your wedding day has to be someone you have full confidence in and, wholeheartedly, I can say that Kiernan meets and exceeds all the expectations of what makes an incredible wedding photographer. She was able to make my (now) husband and I feel relaxed, while also offering VERY helpful and necessary directions of how to pose (down to the way to tilt our head, where to look, where our hands should be, etc) and that was so appreciated! It made me feel so much more confident to know that if something needed to be changed or corrected in order to get the best photo possible, she would notice it and then she’d let us know what we need to do to get that shot. Then, after the wedding, when my husband and I received our sneak peek photos, (which were sent so quickly that we got them while we were still in our post-wedding hotel suite) and we were blown away by how beautiful they turned out. There were so many amazing shots that I loved, I couldn’t pick a favorite... I had at least 10-15 top favorites. To wrap it up, Kiernan is an insanely talented photographer, a true professional and just an overall sweet, lovely person. If you are getting married soon and are looking for a photographer that will be able to deliver photos you will cherish forever AND who will make you feel comfortable and confident while the photos are being taken... I highly recommend Kiernan Michelle Photography, as I sincerely believe she is the best you will find... I know she was for me!”

  • Caterer
  • Starts at $800
  • Serves Thousand Oaks, CA

Hearth is a family-owned, Latin-inspired wood-fired pizzeria based in Moorpark, California. We began as a small catering service that grew into our dream of opening a restaurant. Now, we have the privilege of returning to our roots by bringing our ovens, handmade sourdough, seasonal ingredients, and warm hospitality to weddings and events throughout Los Angeles, Ventura, and Santa Barbara counties. We’re here for couples who want to skip the traditional steak or chicken dinner and share something more fun, personal, and memorable with their guests, without spending their entire wedding budget on dinner.

“From the bride and groom: Seb, Kelly, and their team emanate hospitality. It just flows through them so easily. Not to be dramatic, but they truly were one of the best parts of our wedding. From the very beginning, they walked alongside us in the process and brought so much ease and assurance to what can otherwise be a pretty overwhelming season of planning. They go above and beyond to make sure every detail is in place, they’re timely and organized, and they’re so patient with changes, questions, and all the little things that inevitably come up. Then there’s the food, & the food is so damnn good. We are always trying to figure out a reason to get ourselves to Moorpark just to eat at Hearth. There is something so special about having people who are not only incredibly good at what they do, but are also thoughtful and cool and just genuinely enjoyable to have around. They brought such an excellent vibe to our wedding day. We got SO many comments about the food that day—people telling us it was some of the best wedding food they’d ever had—and still two years later, we still have friends bringing it up! I’d do it again and again in a heartbeat. And as if we needed one more reason to love them, they sent us off on our honeymoon with an extra heart-shaped pizza! We love Seb! We love Kelly! We love their team! We love Hearth!! They became such a sweet part of our wedding story, and I genuinely cannot recommend them enough. You would absolutely be making a mistake if you didn’t have them at your event!!! From the mother of the bride: We are so grateful for the outstanding service provided at our daughter’s wedding by the Hearth team. Their pizza was absolutely delicious, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about both the creative ingredients and the thoughtful selections they offered. Beyond the food itself, their professionalism made a real difference to our family. From set up to clean up, they handled every detail with care and insured our family and guest had a truly memorable dining experience. Their team’s attention to service excellence did not go unnoticed. We are so thankful they were such an important part of our special day. I would be delighted to recommend Hearth to anyone looking for exceptional catering.”

“The Ojai Retreat & Inn was everything we could have asked for for our wedding in early November!! We rented the whole property for our wedding party and the weekend felt like a dream oasis! Before the wedding, we were able to immerse ourselves in the serenity of the Ojai Retreat by taking a stroll on the nature path. We also enjoyed nearby restaurants (Bonnie Lu's for breakfast and Ca'Marco for our Rehearsal Dinner) that were a short car ride away. We used the living room area and the upstairs library for getting ready spaces and they were well air-conditioned and provided more than enough space for all of us- without the groom seeing the bride, of course. Then during our ceremony and reception, the beauty of the landscape and views made for marvelous photos and memories! It was truly magical and felt like an enchanted fairytale! On top of the beauty of the property, everyone who works at the Ojai Retreat & Inn is so kind and helpful! A special thank you to Dana and Lia for your help and to all the workers who helped move lawn furniture before our rentals needed to unload. They were so flexible with us and worked with us on our many random questions and requests. We can't wait to come back to the Ojai Retreat & Inn for our anniversaries!!”

If you’re looking for a team that genuinely cares and delivers flawless results, Bliss Bridal Beauty is the way to go. I can’t recommend them enough!”

Your wedding day is filled with once-in-a-lifetime moments, and I’m here to capture them in a way that feels natural, effortless, and truly you. With a calm presence and an eye for storytelling, I focus on the real, unscripted moments—the quiet hand squeezes, the deep belly laughs, the happy tears—so you can relive them for years to come. My approach is simple: Be a steady, supportive presence, document your day with care, and make sure you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Whether you're camera-shy or love being in the spotlight, I'll guide when needed and step back when the magic happens naturally.

“Eli Suzuki-Gill Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. Eli was very attentive, intentional, and gentle in his approach and communication with us. He asked great questions and I was able to share my vision and how I really imagined us to look and what our vibe was as a couple. We loved our pictures and how they turned out - he really took our wants into consideration and executed the photos in a way that perfectly represented us as a couple. Eli was extremely patient as we were very nervous and stressed for our ceremony, and he checked in to help us get more comfortable and relaxed. He was very professional and easy to talk to, holding the perfect balance between letting us do our own thing while also ensuring we got all the traditional shots to capture the important parts of our special day. He was able to get us the photos within 30 days and we’re so grateful for Eli's hard work and dedication in making our wedding photos truly special.”
