Whiskey Feather Events 

5.0

Cotati, CA
  • Planner
  • Offers 6 services

My goal is to take the stress out of planning your celebration, allowing you to be present in every moment and enjoy the entire experience! With 20+ years of experience in Corporate Event Management, Hotel Sales Management, Restaurant Function Management and Wedding Planning, I have cultivated a well rounded and unique skill set that allows me to effectively plan and execute weddings and events of all types. I paired the ability to understand the needs and expectations from both client and venue/vendor side, with my love of event design and creating original and unforgettable experiences...and voilà! Whiskey Feather Events was born.

Saying I could not do it without Jenny is an understatement! My husband and I had a destination wedding, planning our beautiful vineyard day all the way from Philadelphia! There is no way I could have had such a successful wedding day and weekend without Jenny and Whiskey Feather Events! As someone not in the area, if I ever needed a recommendation for a vendor, Jenny had at least five! If I needed another view or picture of the venue, Jenny was willing to drive to the venue to do another quick site walk through! If I felt like I was missing something or didn’t think of something, Jenny would go through an endless checklist with me, give suggestions as needed, and reassure me that I had thought of everything and was well prepared! On the actual day, all of our vendors were extremely prepared and knew to go to Jenny and Chris for anything. Jenny and Chris ran everything so smoothly and ahead of schedule for the day which allowed my husband and I to enjoy the day, focus on each other and our guests, and never allowed us to worry about anything during our pre-wedding and wedding events. I cannot recommend Whiskey Feather Events enough! There are not enough words to describe how wonderful Jenny and her assistant Chris are leading up to the day and on the actual day itself!

Park Avenue Catering 

5.0

Cotati, CA
  • Caterer

We are a catering company created by award winning chefs for people who love food! Our menus are locally sourced and seasonally focused, celebrating all wine county has to offer. This in combination with 32 years of experience and our dedicated team of wedding specialists helps us to provide outstanding ambiance, delicious food and amazing service on your special day. Let’s chat! Digital platforms are great, but we want to know more about you. This helps us create a unique event that fits you, your tastes and your budget. We look forward to speaking with you soon!

I don't know if I can put into words how great Park Avenue Catering is but I will try... We are not from the USA but we got married in Sonoma on March 15, 2020. This was the night before the COVID19 lockdown. The days leading up to the wedding were filled with anxiety (more than the usual), uncertainty, guest cancellations and a general feeling of doom and gloom. I am grateful that PAC was understanding of the situation and flexible enough to accommodate the guest changes. In planning, I chose them blindly just based on reviews. They offer a massive selection of dishes and cuisines which made the foodie in me happy. ANTHONY IS THE BEST!!! He listened patiently to my questions (I had a lot) and was really open to my ideas. Despite a massive time difference, he was so responsive with no loss in communication. In the rare time we spoke over the phone, he has such a sweet, easygoing and calming nature that put me right at ease and made me feel as though anything and everything was possible. We did the tasting a few months before my wedding and he made us feel very special. They should rename it to Park Anthony Catering!! That's how good he is. On the wedding day, Mark (the banquet manager) and his team executed flawless service. I was impressed at how quickly they adjusted to put in place COVID safety measures like gloves and sanitizers for the safety of guests and staff. They were a well oiled machine! My guests were chasing down the servers for hors d'oeuvres and many guests said it was the best wedding food they had. Anthony had the team pack up the leftovers for us and they were delicious even in the days that followed. We (the couple) also got a special package of all our food, desserts, cheese, cake, apples after the wedding. Here's what we ultimately chose: Truffle Fries (the best), Ahi Tuna Cones, BBQ Bao Buns, Pizza, Scallops, Tri-tip, Shrimp Saute, Ravioli, Strawberry Salad. It was all SO delicious. We were so happy. Thanks Anthony, Mark and the rest of the Park Avenue Catering team for everything!!

Welcome. I’ve been a make-up artist, chocolatier, a barista, a pet-sitter, a bartender but I’ve always been “that girl with the camera.” (I’ve also been, “that girl who sleeps on our couch” or “that girl who’s booty I saw in the newspaper” but I digress…). Currently, I base my photography business in Petaluma, CA. I grew up in Sonoma County but in my early 20’s I picked up and moved to Manitoba and that’s where I stayed for many years. Upon my return to CA in 2013 I turned my passion for photography into a career. It’s been a journey to call photography my profession, but I’ve always been a photographer and I’ve always been an artist.

I’m Kristen, your Napa-based natural light photographer effortlessly capturing classic, timeless images one dirty joke at a time. Are you a KCP Couple? Are you kind, vivacious, and have impeccable style? Do you appreciate the finer details? Are you classy, but still have a dirty sense of humor? Do you love when things run on time? Do you know how to throw a good party? If you said yes to any of these, then I believe this is the start of something beautiful!

From the very beginning, Kristen made us feel comfortable. She was able to take charge when it rained on our wedding day and delayed the ceremony by over an hour. I do not know what we would have done without her!! She kept everyone laughing and relaxed, and for that I cannot thank her enough. Even with the delay, she was able to finish the family pictures, our couples pics, and the wedding party AND still managed to get us to the reception ON TIME! She was absolutely incredible and even our wedding planner was so impressed by her! The pictures turned out to be everything we imagined and more and we cannot recommend her enough to our friends and family.

If you would have known me growing up, you would have been surprised if I didn’t become a photographer! I fell in love with photography after spending countless hours in the darkroom. Since 2008, I have been working professionally in the photography industry and have shot over 300 weddings and numerous other assignments in almost every genre of photography. Why Weddings? I love problem solving and puzzles, and I’m always up for a good challenge. For me, a wedding is a day full of all of the things that I love. Its basically a whole day of coming up with solutions to make the best photographs for my couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I worked with Lisa for our engagement photos and our wedding, and we were blown away by her services. She is incredibly professional and prepared. She helped us decide on a location for our engagement photos and arrived early to scout it out. Before our wedding, she met with us (virtually) to go over the schedule of the day and our shot list. At the same time, she is also quick to adapt in the moment. She was able to respond to the lighting conditions during our photo shoots to take gorgeous pictures, and she caught many wonderful moments with our guests during our wedding. She is also very creative and took pictures from unique angles and perspectives. Best of all, both times Lisa delivered her photos promptly. Our married friends were astounded by how quickly we got our photos back! We love looking back on pictures from our wedding day, and they captured the day so thoroughly that we feel like we can relive it. We cannot recommend Lisa more highly.

I am an irreverent guy who just so happens to create beautiful-rich-vibrant-uniquely-authentic wedding photography in and around the Bay Area, all over California and anywhere there’s beautiful light.

Awarded Best of Zola
First of all, our photos are amazing. They are AMAZING. I keep looking at them over and over again, and I keep finding new moments from my wedding to appreciate. Thank you Russ for creating these beautiful lasting memories for our family. Second of all: it was *GREAT* to work with Russ. We booked Russ months before Coronavirus, and during the months when we were reshaping our wedding plans, Russ was adaptable, reliable, and supportive. He was always prompt to get on the phone and to hear what we were thinking and what we wanted. We ended up having a minimony - a smaller version of our original wedding plan - and Russ was right there to make our day feel extra special and to highlight the best moments. He understood our vision even better than we did - the pictures attest to that, since he was able to capture the best moments with exactly the focus we'd want to see! All the while, he stayed out of our way, and yet somehow didn't miss a thing. Finally, I just want to say that Russ is a happy person to be around -- and his general uplifting mood is well matched to the spirit of a wedding day. I didn't know how much it would matter to have a happy person be our wedding photographer, but Russ' whole demeanor was a definite definite definite boon!

We absolutely loved working with James and his team on our wedding day! They were so professional, kind, skilled, and made us feel at ease. We were not super comfortable in front of the camera so I was nervous how our photos would turn out, but they created such a relaxed environment, and our photos turned out so beautiful. Really quick editing turn around too, many photographers we scoped out would take 8-12 weeks to turn around all the photos. James and his team delivered nearly 1000 photos to us in just a few weeks. He also came to our rehearsal the night before (completely unprompted!) to scope out the venue ahead of time. Overall a phenomenal experience. I cant wait to work with Bustle and Twine again for family photos in the future. Thank you B&T!!!!

I have been professionally capturing images for over 10 years. During that time, I built a successful promotional marketing company in Canada, received my MBA in Ireland, and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area with my wife. My favorite part about photography are the stories that are captured, the frozen moments in time that each picture highlights. Over the course of my career, I have been asked to tell thousands of stories. With the ability to operate in the United States, Canada, and Europe, I’m no stranger to traveling for a good story.

Working with Harrison was probably the easiest part of our entire wedding. He built us a custom package for our less than normal wedding, and was super thorough in documenting our details. When we got the photos we loved how he and his second shooter were able to get lots of pictures of our family and friends, while taking some beautiful couple shots of the two of us as fresh newlyweds. You won't regret having him along for your special day!

Our guests had an absolute blast at the ranch - dancing in the barn, playing lawn games outside and admiring the cows and horses that watched over the event. After the party, we stayed at the Bunk House, which is the charming rental home on property. The owner left us a bottle of wine, a custom candle and a sweet note congratulating us on our wedding! We will never forget how special everything was. Cow Track Ranch’s owner Melissa was accommodating, kind and very welcoming when we asked to come back multiple times to see the wedding venue. She offered us a great wedding package with a value you can’t beat. Highly recommend Cow Track to anyone looking for a barn wedding venue only half an hour from the heart of Marin!

Boundary Visual

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $3,250
  • Serves Cotati, CA

Hello, I'm Hazen, the creative mind behind Boundary Visual Media, where we specialize in turning your wedding day into an unforgettable cinematic experience. I'm a passionate storyteller and camera nerd, and I like to make things as easy and relaxing as possible on your big day. I work closely with you, your planner and your photography team to have as much fun as possible and create something beautiful and one-of-a-kind.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hazen was our videographer for our wedding back in August of this year. Initially, we weren't considering videography for our wedding, but after some nudging from my parents we looked into it, and if there was ever a time to listen, this was it! We are so incredibly happy that we had the opportunity to work with Hazen and have him as our videographer for the wedding. It also felt quite serendipitous that he had hired the same photographer that we had for our wedding, an all star team. Hazen captured our wedding day at Straus Home Ranch so well, and we are in awe of the stunning footage, along with beautifully edited clips to relive our special day. I normally feel camera (and especially video camera) shy, but Hazen and his team made us feel so at ease, and they truly worked magic filming in the background, so much so that I barely noticed they were shooting at times. There was even some drone footage (I didn't even notice the drone at any point in time) which was amazing to give the full, zoomed-out picture of the beautiful setting. The video footage is truly sublime, with all of the tiniest details and moments captured and edited into a full story of the day. Paired with the music that we requested and the most graceful and tasteful edits, the video was really jaw-dropping to watch for the first time, as it was every time we revisit it. I highly recommend Hazen and his team at Boundary Visual Media.

Hi I’m Emma, the owner and lead designer for Wonderfully Made Floral Design, a studio florist based in Sonoma County, California. I’ve been a part of the floral industry for 7+ years, working in a wide range of jobs, from quality control to designing luxurious weddings.

The team at WM Floral Design was an absolute pleasure to work with. Their communication was fast, easy, and clear throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was exquisite - the flowers were beautifully arranged and they paid such close attention to every detail. She tied in everything with the flowers perfectly, and truly brought my dream to life. Not only did she do an amazing job, but she made the bouquets look even better than the inspiration pictures I had provided. She was so easy to work with, and I would highly recommend WM Floral Design to any couple planning their wedding.

My goal and passion is to caption the beauty of such a special occasion in a way that brings out the personality of those participating. I want their loving souls to shine through in my photos, and capture their true selves.

Niki was absolutely wonderful to work with and her photos are gorgeous. She photographed our intimate, family wedding in Calistoga, CA at the end of March. She was easy to communicate with and very responsive. She absolutely understood my vision despite me being unable to articulate it at all. On the day of the wedding, she was on time, professional, and fit in right away with our family. She gave direction (that we needed) without being overbearing. She captured so many special moments that I didn't even realize she was photographing until I looked at the photos later. She turned her photos around very quickly and kept me updated on the progress. The photos were absolutely GORGEOUS. She made me (and the everyone else, but let's be honest, it's about the bride) feel and look so beautiful. Thank you, Niki!!

The Tomales Town Hall is a versatile and truly authentic setting for weddings and more. It isa rare find: a 19th-century historic community building lovingly maintained over the years with a deep respect for its past. For almost 150 years, the Hall has served the people of Tomales and visitors near and far, providing space for occasions of all kinds. From town meetings to once-in-a-lifetime moments, the Hall has been witness to the life of its rural community. We invite you to experience coastal West Marin village life in this beautiful and unique space.

I rented the Tomales Town Hall for my fiftieth birthday. There was torrential rain outside but the hall was warm and cozy. We had an eight-piece band up on the stage and they sounded fantastic with the acoustics in the room. We had an area cleared up front for dancing and the small round tables in the back with tablecloths and electric candles on them. We served wine and beer from the bar. Much fun was had by all!

Krumbs Cakes

"I live for the moment when my customers see their incredible edibles for the very first time. Nothing brings me more joy than watching their faces light up with great big smiles. The extreme satisfaction is what gets me every time. Knowing I make dreams come true is why I love what I do."

We're from San Francisco and were getting married in the city, but decided to venture across the bridge after striking out on other vendors due to price, size limitations (270 people_, or general availability. We feel so lucky that we came across Krumbs based on the A experience, from tasting to delivery. From the get-go, it felt like there was nothing they wouldn't do. One thing we truly hoped for was a true cake-tasting experience. In the post-COVID landscape, everything is "come buy cupcakes and let us know what you think." We went out to Krumbs and were so excited to be able to sit down and be treated to all of their cake, mousse, and frosting flavors, and even though we had only inquired about one flavor, we left with two. They were also super-flexible when it came to design and weighed in with their own opinions after learning about the wedding vibe, cake topper, etc. Their pricing was affordable but the experience felt premium in every way, from the tasting to delivery and putting the finishing touches at the venue. We were able to hand them off to our venue coordinator and they managed everything from there. We also had them do our sheet cake for the rest of the guests so everyone could have the same experience. We like them so much we went back to buy a birthday cake for my mother-in-law a few weeks later. SF is great but I feel like we found a gem in Krumb's and would recommend them to anyone.

Flying Cloud is a 33 acre venue just 5 minutes from 101. We have the pastoral, vineyard views and candle lit interiors of a winery but the exclusiveness and personal service of a private estate. The services of owner, Jeannette Bell, as your coordinator are included in your site fee. With 30 years of experience hosting and managing weddings, she will make sure your wedding fulfills your vision. Flying Cloud can put together a complete package tailored to each couple using our preferred vendors, or you are welcome to use your own. With indoor and outdoor facilities, Flying Cloud can host incredibly beautiful weddings year round.

We decided on Flying Cloud after visiting several places which seemed similar from online research, but once we were there in person it was head and shoulders above the rest. The venue, capacity to do indoor/outdoor and personal touch from Julia made it a no-brainer choice. We were so happy with this decision as they were easy to work with and on our wedding day everything went smoothly. It was super helpful to run by the following morning to pick up leftover items and everything was nearly stacked and waiting for us so we loaded up and were out of there in no time. From start to finish Flying Cloud was excellent.

Jessamyn Harris Photography

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Cotati, CA

I photograph real people in natural light and gorgeous settings, throughout Sonoma & Napa Wine Country, the Bay Area, and beyond. Using humor, connection, and my calm & warm energy, I work with a wide variety of people from all backgrounds and perspectives (even/ especially camera shy folks!). I gently guide couples through very natural moments together, to capture their individual and collective personalities, in the most beautiful, & honest, way possible.

Jessamyn is one of my favorite photographers in the Bay Area! Being a wedding planner, I get to work with many different photographers all of the time. Sure - there are many talented photographers in the area for clients to choose from (Jessamyn being one of them). It's obvious by looking at her portfolio that she takes beautiful photographs but what you can't see online is how easy Jessamyn is to work with. When clients ask for advice on hiring a photographer, I always say that it's important that you choose a photographer who you are comfortable with. If you are uncomfortable, it will show in your photos. Jessamyn is extremely laid back in a good way. She goes with the flow and is a joy to work with. Her positive attitude and flexibility is truly what sets her apart from the many talented photographers in our area. I can't recommend Jessamyn enough!

Hi there! It’s nice to meet you! I’m a lifestyle portrait and wedding photographer here in Santa Rosa, CA and I simply love all things photography. I would say it’s my one true love but that’s not very nice considering I have an amazing husband and three (soon to be FOUR! woah, I know!) incredible kiddos. I can’t imagine life without them. I'm a lover of life and my passion is capturing the big life moments for people that they look at and think, "I'll never forget this...thanks to this photograph!" Ha! Okay, enough about me. Let’s hang out and take some photos that I know you’ll love forever and ever! XOXO

Hailey is truly a dream to work with! She put us at ease during our engagement session and kept the same energy throughout our wedding process. Hailey listened to what we wanted out of our photos and delivered it to a T! So many guests have commented on how great she was at the wedding and how beautiful our pictures are. The day felt like a collaboration and we were so happy to have Hailey with us on our special day.

Preferred Sonoma Caterers

  • Caterer
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Cotati, CA

Preferred Sonoma Caterers was founded by Owner/Chef Amber Balshaw and her husband Jim over 25 years ago. Amber’s love of cooking always keeps her excited about food, and that excitement keeps her menus fresh and innovative. Amber has seen trends in food and design come and go (and sometimes come again) over her years planning weddings and other events. She loves to help couples brainstorm new ideas and knows how an event should flow to get everything just right.

For a wedding, two things you hear from people afterwards are whether they had fun and whether they liked the food. You don't need to ask, people volunteer this information. Everyone loved our wedding food. We had done a bit unusual pickings, things that made sense to our story, but Preferred Sonoma were able to make all the items work together and create a delicious meal for everyone. The setup, service and quality of the food were all outstanding. Food is really one of the most important parts of a celebration so you do want to get the best you can afford. Preferred Sonoma was perfect without breaking the bank. We will absolutely choose them for other events in our future.

Devshi truly knows how to create the perfect atmosphere for celebration, and we couldn't have asked for better. Highly recommend!

After 10 years and over 200 weddings, I know how to fold into a large group of people, how to be there and make it feel like I'm not. I've been documenting weddings for nearly a decade and I love it even more now than when I started. My work is candid, emotional, and comfortable. I love to infuse editorial and documentary moments into my galleries, but mostly I just love to be able to photograph moments as they unfold.

It’s been a year since our wedding and I still look at the photos Melissa captured of us on a daily basis. When we were going through the painstaking process of planning and budgeting for our wedding, photos were at the top of my list in terms of their importance. Enter Melissa—we met a year and a half before our wedding day when she took our engagement photos and it was basically love at first sight. We felt so incredibly comfortable with her almost immediately and by the end of our session, we were bantering and joking around like old friends. Flash forward to our wedding day—not only did Melissa take gorgeous photos of our ceremony, first look, reception, etc, but she was a support system and that is something that is truly invaluable on one of the biggest days of your life. I can’t recommend her more.
