Joe was exactly what we wanted for our wedding. He was easy to work with, great communication, punctual, well dressed, and most importantly sounded great!

Jasmine is one of a kind! I have known Jasmine before she became Jasmine&Co and she has always had such a kind and helpful spirit. She was the easiest decision with my wedding planning process and I had 2 big events to prepare for. Always had good recommendations for local vendors too! I had Jasmine for my pre wedding and day of event and I loved my looks! What I absolutely appreciated is how hectic wedding planning gets jasmine always assured me that everything will be okay! She also helped me create a hotel block in hawaii for my destination wedding and gather ideas for my big day! The only thing I wasn’t able to get done was a trial but the day of my wedding and henna events she knew what I needed and I felt so beautiful! I believe I was her first destination bride and she did so well even being pregnant made time to finish every single person and even last minute touch ups for family. 10/10 would recommend Jasmin and Co and count her as your hype girl for every event!

Anne Roos was a fantastic live music addition to our wedding in early April. She had worked with our coordinator in the past, making it a seamless integration into the wedding program. We loved the deep library of music that she offered; we found songs that fit every moment for our ceremony and the cocktail hour. The music added a classy touch to our ceremony and the guests loved the movie themes and show tunes! We had our wedding just after in the last major snowfall in North Lake and she was able to accommodate that the changing weather without any disruption to the program. We would highly recommend Anne for anyone looking for a Classical harpist in the Tahoe region.

When my now wife and I started the wedding planning process, I was initially resistant to having a wedding planner/coordinator . After going through the process, I can honestly say the investment in AB Event Co. was some of the best dollars we spent on the whole wedding. Ali took care of all of the small details letting us and our guest just enjoy the night. She handled literally everything for us from a crying hungry child to wedding crashers. Thank you so much Ali for making our wedding day stress free and perfect.

Heather Blackwood Photography

  • Photographer

  • Serves Garden Valley, CA

Hey, I'm so glad you're here! My name is Heather and I live in beautiful Foresthill, CA. I love any and all hard seltzers, my Great Dane Fritz, and using my camera to capture all the feels. About my business? Well I'm basically a professional wedding crasher, so you know you will always have fun with me! Oh and I've pretty much cried at every wedding I've ever been to...and yours is no exception. Let's be friends!

Heather was wonderful to work with! We are the awkward type in front of a camera, but working with Heather made everything seem so stress-free during our wedding planning and photo sessions. Our engagement photo session was fun and care-free and we unbeknownst to all of us, she actually ended up taking beautiful photos of our beautiful rabbit, Trixie before she passed on the following month. Something that we truly appreciated and will never forget. For our wedding, Heather was very detailed and gave us a run down of what to expect for the photos. Nothing was hidden and she was up front about it all and asked if we wanted to add anything as well. Although Mother Nature had other plans for the day, we were still able to get the majority of our photos done. She even snuck in polaroid photos that were just too adorable - And I have no idea when she even took them! We received our wedding photos back and everyone absolutely loves them. I just love her style. While there are some photographers who do a large amount of filter/presets (no shade to those who do), there's just something about Heather's style of being able to keep it clean and natural that I just love! With Mother Nature having other plans with making it a misty ceremony and a downpour reception, we did miss out on doing a handful of photos of cocktail hour. Because of that, Heather was quick to offer us a bridal session to take some additional photos to complete our wedding. Instead of returning to the venue, we actually decided to relocate to Fort Bragg and take photos at the Mendocino Garden. The photos turned out absolutely gorgeous with the oceanic background and the dahlias that she chose to work with. She made everything seem so light-hearted and there was so much laughter with each session. Thank you Heather for everything you did throughout our wedding planning and so much more. You've captured so many wonderful moments and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

Hi! We are CRUSH’S Bartending! We are a craft beverage service for anything you feel like celebrating. CRUSH’S combines the ambiance, experience, creativity, and quality of a craft cocktail lounge with the ease and comfort of having a drink with your friends wherever you want to party. We serve up bespoke cocktails, handmade craft mixers, and specialty non-alcoholic options all from behind our handmade wooden bar. So, if you are looking for a stylish, fun, and fully custom experience you have found it with CRUSH’S Bartending!

These ladies absolutely crushed bartending our wedding and our guests were raving about how good the drinks were all night long! I am pregnant so couldn't even drink the alcoholic options but they made a delicious "mocktail" option as the signature and went so far to bring me a NA bottle of wine to drink as well. Super thoughtful, incredible bartenders, ingredients were fresh and their mixers that they recommended for our signature drinks were unmatched. I wish I could buy the mixers at the store to enjoy these cocktails (mocktails) more often! Better than most cocktail bars I've been to (and we live in SF). Don't hesitate - book them now!!

I’ve had a camera in my hand since I can remember. On family vacations each of us had a camera and would come back with several rolls of film. It was great to see different perspectives of the same place. My photos became more refined throughout my childhood as I graduated to my stepdad’s Minolta film SLR. In college I dedicated myself to photography professionally with a degree in photojournalism, then found my calling with a wedding studio at 19.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have worked with Nicky several times and she is fun and professional. She brings a special vibe to her shoots! She's never dull and has great ideas for locations, props, poses, and whatever. Feel free to ask her about your ideas or just let her work her magic. As an officiant, I look forward to working with her as I know we will complement each other's style. She's a great choice!

From ocean low to mountain high, my bags are packed and I’m on my way to capture your love story in the most beautiful place in the world.

Kait was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding! From our very first email exchange, Kait made me feel so special and supported! Her communication, in general, is prompt, upbeat and incredibly helpful as you plan. Her enthusiasm and excitement for our special day was infectious and she made the planning process so much more joyful. Kait made me feel like she was a close friend who I could lean on without ever having met her! On the wedding day itself, her calm and flexible approach helped us feel at ease, and the resulting photos are simply beautiful, with great angles and lighting that made me feel beautiful and a camera shy groom shine. She got us sneak peaks that we LOVED and poured over with in less than 12 hours! We couldn't be happier with the value and quality of Kait's work, and we highly recommend her to any couple looking for a talented, caring photographer who is truly dedicated to making their wedding day unforgettable.

Azaria Chavira Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Garden Valley, CA

Hi! I’m Azaria. I am a Northern California-based Travel Wedding and Elopement photographer. How did I get here? I grew up in small-town Nebraska with a love for adventure and photography. I got to explore those passions when I got married, my husband joined the military, and we got stationed overseas. I used that opportunity to travel and see many countries. When we returned stateside, I pursued my passion for photography by getting my degree at Brooks Institute of Photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
Azaria not only delivers a beautiful product, but she is a beautiful person inside and out. Her talent behind the lens is undeniable. My husband and I booked her for a wedding vow renewal in the California Redwood forests. Originally we went with her because she knew the area and could help navigate us during the day (plus her instagram was proof of her skills!), we ended up getting so much more. She recruited her husband David to stand in as our "officiant" (even though we're already married), and the care and attention to detail he took made the ceremony so much more sacred. It was his energy that truly led the vows. Azaria spent all day with us and creatively had us posing and positioned behind the most spectacular scenery. She thought of all the things I didn't: maps, cell service, comfy shoes, jackets, and more. She truly gives her whole energy to your event. We had several zoom meetings leading up to our travels she makes herself available for all ideas or questions. I was surprised when she told me how many clients she works with annually because my husband and I felt like we were the only ones- her attention to detail and talent are outstanding. I'm grateful to have had her shape and capture our day.

Ask any of my friends and family members, I LOVE to plan! I’ve worked in the wedding/events industry since 2017. It’s always been a dream of mine to start my own planning business, and seeing Rae come to life has been the best feeling! Every wedding is as unique as the love it celebrates, and I would love to help bring your vision to life. My goal is for every couple to look back in 20 years and think, “That really was one of the happiest and best days of our lives!”

I could not be more happy with how our wedding day turned out with the help of Rae Weddings & Events! Rebecca came on a little later in our wedding planning process, and she took the stress out of the final weeks and days leading up to the wedding. She absolutely shined on the day-of-coordination. I felt like we could completely rely on her to ensure everything went smoothly and just focus on enjoying our day. She also personally went above and beyond with the last minute details. We had a backyard wedding which required a ton of direct coordination with vendors, figuring out our own decorations/style, and flexibility when changes needed to be made. We were really planning the event from scratch down to the last detail, so we were thrilled to be able utilize Rebecca's expertise and she took so much of the burden and stress off our shoulders. Working with Rae Weddings & Events was an absolute game changer- I truly believe my wedding was more polished, stress-free, and enjoyable for us and our guests thanks of them.

Amy Varain Weddings knows your wedding is one of the most important days of your life that you will remember forever. We are here to guide you thru the process from start to finish, so it can be as enjoyable and stress-free as possible and nothing is missed along the way. We help you create your special day that is unique to the two of you and your love for one another. As your planner, we have the professional experience of planning weddings and events everyday. We provide the knowledge, ideas, tools and solutions you need to plan the wedding of your dreams. We are the one vendor that is truly looking out for you and your wedding day.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Amy to plan and coordinate our wedding. Our goal was to make our guests feel taken care of. Good food, good drink, good company; bringing the most important people in our lives together to celebrate our relationship and really understand us as a couple. That’s a big ask for a wedding. We trusted Amy to help us get the job done and she absolutely delivered. We booked her partial planning option. Our initial meetings with her, and all of the advice and tools she provided helped us navigate the process very cleanly. We always felt like we could reliably get our questions answered. More important though, she helped us understand what questions we should be asking in the first place, what was important, what was a priority, and what wasn’t. From there, meeting with her virtually and in person at our venue she was ON IT. She was a sponge for information: soaking up every idea, question, or anxiety, and addressing each with her deep experience and expertise. We went into our day confident in the plan we put together, and with an understanding of how things were being executed. That understanding did not prepare us for how blown away we would be by the quality of the job she and her team did on the day and in the lead up to it. Everything with our vendors was perfectly coordinated. Everything with the venue totally taken care of. We were providing a lot of the decor ourselves and her team picked up on and understood exactly what we were going for and assembled everything just as we planned it without any additional communication. They also seamlessly smoothed out and filled in any rough edges in our overall plan for the day, with little details we hadn’t considered identified and taken care of in thoughtful ways. If any small issues or problems popped up they were immediately handled with professionalism and grace. On top of that, Amy went above and beyond to make us and our guests feel special. She knew what was important to us, and made sure it happened. She was always there, but never in the way. A true professional. The day itself went off without a hitch and was better than we had even hoped. We knew this day would be special, but we didn’t realize just how special it would be for us, thanks to Amy and her team. And as fantastic as the process was, the end result was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, not only for us but for our guests as well.

Congratulations on finding each other and getting Engaged! I photograph Weddings, Engagements and Families in Lake Tahoe area and beyond. Furthermore I love to travel and see new places so if you are planning your special event abroad, just give me a shout and I will meet you there!

I found Migle on Facebook, through a friend, after a friend posted the photos from the private photoshoot she had with Migle. The photos and the style really stood out, they were beautiful and light and looked fun, so I knew I wanted Migle to be the photographer at my wedding, and I absolutely made the right choice! Our day with Migle was nothing short of amazing! She has such a fun yet professional style and made us feel completely at ease with plenty of laughter - it really felt like we’ve known each other for years. The photos came out beautifully and really captured the spirit and beauty of the day. We adore her photos and would highly recommend her to any of our friends!!!!

DJ Barnett Entertainment

  • Serves Garden Valley, CA

Troy Barnett, founder of DJ Barnett Entertainment has been entertaining people from coast to coast for over 35 years. In 1988, Troy started playing music for school dances in Northern California at the age of 15, which inspired him to make DJing a career. In 1995, Troy started his first DJ Business "Real Music & Co." in Jacksonville, FL which was huge a success at a very young age. In 2006, Troy left his position as Cruise Director for PBP Cruise Lines and moved back to his hometown in Northern California to be closer to family. With many years as a professional DJ/MC and Wedding DJ he started DJ Barnett Entertainment.

Our experience with Troy began with an initial meeting, which was difficult due to my wife and I's conflicting schedule and far distance from our venue. Troy was extremely flexible and agreed to meet on FaceTime. Once we decided to hire DJ Barnett Entertainment, Troy was extremely responsive over the next couple months. His website was easy to navigate and very detailed, which helped more than we realized when the last minute details of the wedding started to add up. All our requests before the wedding were promptly and thoroughly answered. When wedding day came, Troy was the first outside vendor on site. He was organized and set up with more than enough time to spare, which was important since our wedding was the third of the weekend at our venue. He worked with the venue, our wedding coordinator and other vendors flawlessly. His actual DJ'ing (announcements, mic set-up, music) was also flawless. He had a happy, easy going and positive attitude the entire wedding, which truly made a difference. We had several songs we wanted to be played, which Troy did, but we also allowed him to read the crowd and left a lot of the music choice up to him. Troy made perfect choices that led to a huge 3 hour dance party. Everyone had an amazing time. If we were to do it again, we would not have had Troy do anything differently. He had an amazing attitude throughout the entire process and exceeded all of our expectations!!

Welcome friends! My name is Elissa, and I own Elissa Dunn Floral Studio. I provide floral designs for weddings and events in Northern CA. I currently reside in El Dorado Hills with my husband and our two dogs, Cash & Cooper. When I am not flowering, I enjoy fly fishing, hiking, and spending time with friends and family. I’ve always had a creative and entrepreneurial spirit, however upon graduating school I had no idea what I wanted to pursue. A close friend helped me to secure an office admin job at an amazing floral design company in the Bay Area.

Elissa Dunn Floral Studio did an amazing job with the florals for our wedding. From our first conversation, Elissa was clear, helpful and incredibly nice to work with. She listened to our vision and created the most beautiful, stunning floral arrangements that truly exceeded our expectations. We got married on a hot day and the whole team worked so hard with the floral installation, and it came out absolutely gorgeous.

Awarded Best of Zola
This post is delinquent by a couple months, but we wanted to share our memorable experience utilizing Lisa Richmond Photography. I saw Lisa Richmond's art for the first time in the fall of 2014. Lisa photographed our dear friend's wedding in Winters, CA. So, when Linda and I became engaged in 2015, we knew immediately who we wanted to record our engagement and wedding day on 9/23/16. Luckily, Lisa was available!Prior to meeting Lisa for our engagement photos, we had chatted on the phone a couple times so Lisa could get an idea about Linda and my love story. She was very easy to talk with and we had several good laughs before meeting in person. I told Lisa that neither Linda or I cared to have our pictures taken so I wished her luck with that! Lisa knew we planned on getting married at a winery and she suggested we bring a bottle of wine to open during our engagement shoot. After sharing some wine and stories together, she started working her magic. Lisa made the shoot fun and effortless so the pictures looked natural. Her use of light and her timing are phenomenal. She caught our relationship and personalities digitally!Finally, our long-awaited day came! When Lisa arrived at our wedding, we greeted her as a friend and not just a photographer, since a friendship formed between all of us. Lisa captured every moment of our special day and more. She roamed the vineyards with us to obtain the perfect sunset moments, and she was knocked around on the dance floor like a pinball by some guests getting their groove on...just so she could seize our moments! We were delighted by Lisa's artistic eye, professionalism, and her great personality. We will definitely utilize her for future gatherings as well as share a glass of wine when possible! We highly recommend Lisa if you want to beautifully capture your special occasion.

I’m a wedding vendor, (Someone Said Yes DJ), and have worked with Rachel twice now. She’s awesome. What’s important to me is a few things. 1 - fun to work with. It’s a serious team effort to rock a wedding. Everyone has to be positive and on point. 2 - guest interaction has to be upbeat and professional. The photographer communicates with the guests to line up the photos. This has to be done with a great attitude and with professional instruction 3 - photos have to look amazing. This is what it comes down to. I love working with Rachel and am pretty confident you and your guests will feel the same. And don’t forget, your photos will be beautiful.

I have always had a passion for photography and once I picked up a camera, it was all over. I was raised from a big family and my kids are my world! Born and raised in the Bay Area, I have a special love for being back there. I consider myself very outgoing and will always try and make you laugh and feel comfortable by being a huge dork. I think that is one of the biggest compliments I get is that my clients always feel relaxed and at ease and I love hearing that. Not to mention becoming friends with my clients which is an added bonus! ​

Hiring Jeff Hall as our wedding photographer was one of the first wedding decisions we made, and from there on out I knew everything was going to be fantastic. When meeting him for engagement photos, we all instantly hit it off and I knew he'd easy and FUN to work with. He's a photographer willing to go over and beyond to get THE perfect shot (wade through water, climb trees, shuffle through snow, lay in dirt. All of it.) The one thing I wanted at the end of the day was fantastic photos to look back on and hang in our home, and we received better photos than I ever dreamed of (and fast!). In fact, I loved him and the photos so much, I'm just counting down to when I can drag him to other countries for anniversary trips photoshoots! I'd recommend Jeff in a heartbeat to any couple!
