The Revery is both an indoor and outdoor space, updated with modern amenities including HVAC, no noise curfew, tons of natural light, and perfect for the modern couple who is looking for a hidden gem.

Awarded Best of Zola
What can I say? The Revery will FOREVER be a place that holds a special place in my husband and I's heart. Monica, the owner, is such a pleasure to work with. She is very particular but she is upfront about her rules from the very beginning and never tried to add any hindrance to what we wanted. She was super communicative and kind throughout the whole process. Then - there's the venue itself. We ended up having all three events there. Ceremony (outdoor veranda), Cocktail Hour (upstairs photo studio), Dinner (indoor veranda). Even though it's a "white" space where you have to bring everything in, we LOVED this component because we felt like we were able to design our wedding from start to finish. The blank canvas provided us with an opportunity to really add our own personality. This was the first decision we made when it came to our wedding planning and it was the BEST one we could've made. We love you, Revery!! xo

Hi there, my name is Caleb but most people call me Cook. I spent almost 13 years in the southeast filming weddings, events, corporate gigs and commercials. I moved to California in 2012 and pursued a different career. A couple years ago I decided to get back into event videography and started Cook Captures. When shooting events I have a very hands off candid style. I love to capture people naturally having fun, enjoying the day and creating memories. Every event I film is unique and each film ends up with it’s own story and narrative that fit the couple, venue, guests and overall vibe of your wedding.

Cook is super easy going and easy to get along with. His work also speaks for itself, it’s high quality and exactly what you want! He captures people in the entirety and a good turn around time. I would highly recommend him to everyone!

I have been a professional freelance makeup artist for 4 years now. I also worked at Sephora for 2 years as a makeup artist, and earned my Esthetician license before that in 2017. I have always been an artist at heart but did not touch makeup until I was 18 years old! But thankfully my love and talent for art and painting easily transferred over to makeup artistry, and I'm very thankful that I can encourage my creativity while making people feel beautiful on their important days of life.

Jaycee was an incredible addition to my wedding day. She was easy to communicate with and made the process to book with her easy! Her kit is so organized and impressive. And her makeup work was excellent! All 6 of us loved our makeup and everyone was so happy they still felt like themselves and it wasn’t too much which is exactly what we wanted. I definitely recommend her!

We put out a request for singing entertainment and Olga and Dave replied along with others. However, we decided to go with Olya and Dave because their tone of response made me feel at ease. They were extremely responsive, accommodating. Answering all of my silly questions. They showed up to the event on time and were very flexible. They set up and played wonderfully. They were in sink the entire the time. Olga’s voice is heavenly and Dave is a master on the keyboard. Our guests raved about the sweet sounds that permeated our brunch!

We love what we do and look forward to helping you have an amazing event, within your budget, that you get to enjoy yourself! Ebeling Events creator, Kim has been in the hospitality industry her whole working life. Carly is our lead event planner

Ebeling Events was an amazing partner for wedding planning and we recommend them to make your event smooth and stress-free. We signed up for a wedding package at Starling Hill (Audubon Center at Debs Park). We worked with Kim as our lead coordinator and also worked with Katie who was the associate lead and our day-of coordinator. It was easy to have a wedding package, so we didn’t have to seek out many separate wedding vendors and read tons of different contracts. We appreciated how the main essential event set-up was all in one place. Saved us so much time and energy working with these true professionals. They offered narrowed down options, which we really appreciated to save us from decision-fatigue, but if we had special upgrade requests, Kim and her team figured them out to allow for customization too. Kim was easy to reach and super helpful to handle any concerns with her many years of planning expertise. Her and her team were also fun to work with and super responsible and professional, so the actual wedding day was extremely low stress. The vendors Ebeling Events arranged for us as a part of our package were all amazing: florist, catering, bartenders, cake, DJ, lighting, rentals, decor, shuttle, and security. Kim was also an incredible resource for connecting us with outside vendors, as we hired our photographer and make-up artist from her list of recommendations and they were stellar, too. The Ebeling Events team is so talented at what they do. We were extremely impressed when watching Kim form the schedule for the day, and her ability to coach and wrangle the families at our rehearsal was legendary, too. We would have been lost and without Kim and her team. Thanks to Kim and Katie!

We had the most wonderful tiny wedding in the East Room and the patio! My fiancé and I were looking for a venue that felt intimate, but that was in Downtown LA and had a private outdoor space, and the East Room met our criteria. We had a small 8-person luncheon, and it was exactly the experience we wanted: wonderful food and truly amazing service. The room itself was gorgeous, with really beautiful tile floors and a long counter. The patio was also very picturesque with views of DTLA, and we had a bar outside as well. We ran slightly late because of photos/congratulations from family, and the Redbird team was incredibly understanding and we never felt rushed. The meal was also coursed perfectly and everyone loved all of the food served. The events team at Redbird was also great to work with in the planning stages. I had originally planned to keep our ceremony/lunch VERY simple (i.e. wasn’t even planning flowers), and the Redbird team went above and beyond to help me find the perfect flower arrangements and even made a tiny cake to cut. They were easy to work with and super responsive to calls/emails, and were great about follow-ups. I would highly recommend Redbird - and the East Room - for smaller weddings. We had such a wonderful ceremony, and the Redbird team really helped us look beyond our original vision to something even better. Thank you so much!

Johnny Mixology

  • Bar services & beverages
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Carson, CA

Our main goal is to provide exceptional bespoke cocktails, delivered to you through an elegant and entertaining bartending experience. From developing your custom cocktail program to creating budgets & sourcing ingredients, we work with you every step of the way to make sure you will have a stupendously fun cocktail party right in your own backyard. Not only do the cocktails have to look and taste amazing, the experience has to be absolutely incredible. It is crucially important to us that everyone on our team is genuinely and authentically personable on top of being an exceptional mixologist.

To start, I first met Johnny when I was looking for a bartender for my birthday. It wasn’t an easy task. I am a harsh critic and I also don’t typically drink(by choice). I’m just not interested in the taste anymore. I wanted to find someone who could make a drink that I even I would want to drink. Because if you’re that good, then I know all of my friends would love you. Johnny was that and beyond. Let’s add to the birthday topic that it started raining in Setember in LA. When does that even happen? Never but it happened that one day on my birthday. I had an outdoor venue and we(at the last minute and on the day of) scrambled to get tents and a canopy for the bar (that I thought was useful but wasn’t). Johnny was a team player. He made it work through the rain and the sprinkles. By the end of the night, I want to say he was near soaked, but he was truly a highlight of the night. He didn’t complain or cancel. He not only has skill, but charisma. He makes homemade mixers too! What! He truly made the best of it and made sure that I had an absolutely fantastic birthday despite the random weather mishap. To this DAY, my friends ask about him! I always recommend him for any of my clients that are looking for a bartender. 100% I haven’t met better. Fast forward to me coordinating, and now he is one of my preferred vendors for weddings because I can trust that he will not only get the job done, but also be on top of things without me having to double check anything. That truly requires trust and I know that I can put my full faith in him. I don’t know if HE even knows how much that means to me. I know that this was long, but it just goes to show you that Johnny is really friggin fantastic. I hope that you read this and it encourages you to book. I hope you get to experience Johnny Mixology. :) With Love, B

Hanna Walkowaik Photography

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $6,500
  • Serves Carson, CA

Hanna Walkowaik is a wedding photographer based in Los Angeles, California, frequenting Chicago & NYC, traveling all around the world to capture love. Hanna creates artful and storytelling images of your day using digital and film. Her photos are filled with vibrant colors, candid moments and touches of nostalgia. She mixes editorial and documentary styles to not only give you beautiful portraits and captured memories but artistic images to hang in your home. With a Bachelor of Arts degree in photography her approach is artistic, purposeful and technically skillful.

Hanna is truly exceptional! We could not have asked for a better person to capture our wedding day. When my now-husband and I first started searching for wedding photographers, we were drawn to Hanna for her immensely beautiful and versatile portfolio. We spoke over Zoom and felt immediately comfortable with her — she has such a calming presence, made us feel like we had been friends forever, and assured us that she would help our vision come to life. We didn’t have much photography knowledge — we knew we wanted to take some shots in a nature setting like a park, and that we wanted someone who could capture color, as our venue had a specific aesthetic with green and blue walls. Hanna provided the most wonderful guidance for our photos and our day — she scouted many locations around our venue for our wedding portraits, taking into account the proximity and the nature setting we wanted. When we picked one, Hanna went to the spot the week before at the exact time we’d be there, so she would know the specific lighting and locations that would best fit. She also, months in advance, made a timeline for us to help guide the day and ensure that we had a schedule to keep everything on track. This was SO helpful and made the day so much smoother. On the day of our wedding, Hanna couldn’t have been more magnificent. She made us feel so at ease, which was paramount on a day that had so many heightened emotions. We aren’t used to working with professional photographers and were initially nervous that we would feel awkward, but Hanna truly made us feel so calm, comfortable, and joyous. She made the entire experience SO fun, and multiple of our wedding guests commented on how kind she was to them. Now the photos…the PHOTOS. Within a week of our wedding Hanna sent us our sneak peeks — about 160 of them, which is far beyond what we expected. They are stunning. Truly, stunning. She has sent us a gorgeous mix of color, black and white, and film. Our wedding day felt like such a whirlwind and Hanna captured all the emotions and all the moments in ways that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. I can’t look at them without being transported back to that day and the specific happenings — from our first look to our first dance — and feeling so overcome with happiness. I can’t choose a favorite because they are all stunning (and all our friends and family keep telling us with how much they love our photos). I’m especially appreciative of Hanna scouting a spot right near our getting ready spot that we hadn’t seen before that looks like a forest, and having us pose there for truly magical pictures. We also have some night shots and some photos from the bar area at our venue that look so editorial and glamorous that I can’t believe it’s us. Trust me, work with Hanna and follow her guidance. She leads with thoughtfulness and intention and it shows. You will get to know a terrifically talented and kind person and your wedding photos will not only be aesthetically marvelous, but you will feel like you get to relive your wedding day every time you look at them. Hanna is THE BEST and we are so grateful to have had the honor of working with her.

I had my make up done by Shahd for my engagement photoshoot. I looked and felt so glamorous! It was really important to me to have a flawless and “glowy” complexion which is exactly what I got. Shahd had a great selection of false lashes which looked so pretty and she really helped me get an even better than expected look for my photos! The make up lasted all day and I didn’t even need to touch anything up (except my lips).

It all started for me at a very young age. In the early 90's when it was all about fashion and the super model, I would OBSESS over the style network and watch runway shows for hours. Fast forward to post high school choices I went to school for esthetics and also got a degree in natural health so that I could offer an additional layer to my makeup knowledge and services. Not soon after I graduated from school I freelanced for the best cosmetic company at that time. Five years after being a brand ambassador for M.A.C I branched off on my own to open a freelance hair and makeup artistry which I eventually moved to Caliornia.

LA Hair and Makeup did a PHENOMENAL job with my wedding hair and makeup! Ashanta (the owner) is so kind, professional, brilliant, and talented. She and her team did makeup for myself and 14 members of my wedding party, and did everything on schedule and to a very high standard of artistry. All of my bridesmaids choose pretty different makeup looks and Ashanta’s team did it all perfectly. I wanted my own hair and makeup look to be sort of vintage-inspired and natural, and I truly could not have been happier with how my bridal hair and makeup turned out— Ashanta is a genius!!

Their spacious, well-organized, and unique venue was the perfect backdrop for our special day. The staff's exceptional attention to detail, from organizing the venue layout to setting clear expectations with all our vendors, ensured our wedding day ran smoothly from start to finish.

My name is Tonimari Gemeniano and people are my passion. I've always loved planning events, weddings being my favorite. I am very fulfilled at helping others through the planning process, especially in alleviating the stresses of planning. Even more so, I am driven to ensure the vision they have for one of the most important days of their lives, comes into fruition. It is always an honor, privilege, and joy to be a part of your wedding day!

"It was a pleasure working with Toni! She is such a sweetheart and treated me like a friend. She went above and beyond what I was looking for. Toni was very organized and had a lot of different ideas and suggestions to fill the missing pieces when I felt lost. At the start of my wedding planning process, I was very overwhelmed but Toni’s monthly meetings made things run smoothly. Toni went beyond my expectations of my vision board for my decorations. She took note of all the little details that I wanted. My wedding turned out just as I imagined it and went very smoothly thanks to Toni. Also on top of what Toni did, she did an amazing job while being pregnant. Thank you so much to Toni and her team." -Kathy

Awarded Best of Zola
I have known Mandy and had her do my makeup for many years. She is perfection personified. She understands your skin and the special things of one’s face and knows exactly how to bring out the best in your features. She does it meticulously. Whether it’s been for weddings, red carpet events or on stage in front of thousands. Mandy delivers every time. I’ve even taken her to France on a business trip to have her make me look my best for each event. She can read the room, the lighting and what goes perfect with my outfit no matter how subtle or grand I need it. It’s always perfect and everyone always raves about my makeup. Trust me when I tell you there is no one better. She is a true artist.

True Vine Studio

  • Florist
  • Serves Carson, CA

Hi there, I'm Kaylyn. After almost 12 years working as a florist, I can honestly say, I'm still not over them. This career has been the happiest accident of my life and I can't imagine a life without flowers. What started out as hobby became my dream career. It has taken me all over the world, introduced me to new people and to new cultures, challenged me, and has given me the opportunity to be a fly on the wall to the most beautiful celebrations of love. It has been a joy.

I can't recommend Kaylyn and True Vine Studio enough! She created my wedding bouquet this past weekend, and it was absolutely perfect. I provided her a general color scheme, and she worked her magic—picking the most beautiful flowers and colors that complemented each other so well. She was so accommodating, even scheduling a convenient drop-off at my house before we headed out of town for the wedding. Kaylyn is the sweetest, professional, and super easy to communicate with. 10/10 recommend True Vine Studio for any floral needs. Thank you thank you again, Kaylyn!

  • Serves Carson, CA

I'm admittedly wary when it comes to the Wedding Industry and all of it's bells/whistles/expectations, and at the same time, I believe wholeheartedly in the power of community, love, commitment, and collective joy. I think that weddings-- in all of their forms and reclamations-- ultimately serve a great purpose in reminding us of these gifts. I come from a long line of meticulous documenters and hold a degree in Sociology, all of which informs the way I approach photography. I am curious about people, am in awe of the display of emotion, and am passionate about the ways in which we construct family and community.

My husband and I worked with Kenzie for our engagement session in the summer of 2021 and our wedding in the spring of 2022. As you can tell from the timeline both sessions were at the peak of the Pandemic. This season was filled with excitement but also stress as we balanced our family's health, our deepest desires for the wedding, and the weight of the global pandemic. Kenzie gave us the peace that we so desperately needed. All in all, she was our favorite wedding vendor. After our initial onboarding Zoom call, my husband and I turned to each other and screamed did we just make a new best friend?! She is not only professional but personal. She has a great artistic vision but also respected the direction we gave. Kenzie takes a photojournalistic approach to her work and because of that, we feel like these moments are enshrined in history! My favorite Kenzie touch was the pre-wedding survey she provided us that helped her understand what emotions we had going into "the most important day of our lives". She prompted us with questions about the relationship dynamics between our family and friends, and the quirky details of our love, and our answers allowed her to capture more than just a single snapshot in time. Kenzie's photos capture FEELINGS. Thank you thank you thank you and we cannot wait to work with you for our next life event!!

Your wedding is our Masterpiece! We celebrate the love of ALL couples and create a unique experience to bring your dream wedding to life. Pastiche Event Productions is a California based event planning and design company that was created with the desire to fully celebrate true love and joy for each special wedding day.

Mia and her team were simply phenomenal. We hired Mia for day-of coordination two weeks before our wedding, after having to dismiss our original coordinator. Mia stepped in with an incredible amount of dedication, insight, and patience. Her approach of using the Aisle Planner website to create our timeline, arrange our floor plan, organize our guest list and vendor contacts, and keep notes, all with the ability to make live edits, was seamless and drastically lowered the stress level for my mother and me. She was attentive to detail, asked all the right questions to make sure we had what we needed for each part of our wedding, and made helpful suggestions along the way. She ran our rehearsal well, navigating endless questions from our family with patience and grace. On top of all that, she executed everything on our wedding day beautifully. She set everything up hung up just how I had envisioned, and I couldn’t have been happier with how smoothly the evening ran. My husband and I didn’t have to think twice about anything and were able to fully enjoy every moment of our wedding with our family and friends because we knew the evening was in Mia’s capable hands. A HUGE thanks to Mia and her assistant for making the wedding of our dreams come true!! :)

Veronica truly captured the spirit of our wedding and I couldn’t be more pleased with the end result. We have so many beautiful and unique photos, not just of us but of our friends and family, which was really important for us. She made the process leading up to the wedding very easy and on the day of even when it poured rain she got every shot we wanted and more.

Heather gave us a personalized and affordable wedding photography package. She was helpful, timely, and supportive during our crazy wedding day. So much went wrong, but our photographers and flowers were some of the highlights that made our day amazing. The additional creative touch Heather brought went above and beyond our expectations. She brought confetti into the desert to highlight some of our post-first look photos and she brought champagne for a champagne pop with our bridal party. These little details made the experience all the more enjoyable. She also returned the photos quite fast! We will definitely recommend Heather for anyone getting married in the future.
