My sound company has worked on weddings for the past twenty plus years with many bands. Susie Hansen is the most organized, is always on time, and keeps the audience dancing throughout the reception. It is quite common for family members of the Bride and Groom to hire Susie Hansen for their own events after experiencing her band at a wedding. Booking The Susie Hansen Band is like buying an insurance policy for a smoothly run, and very enjoyable wedding reception.

Agnes went above and beyond to make our day run smoothly. Her excellent communication skills kept everything clear between the nightmarish amount of vendors we had to organize for our wedding. She was caring and kind throughout. The amount of stress she took off our shoulders was immense. I cannot recommend her enough. She cared about the details and helped with ideas and recommendations whenever we were too burned out from decision making. There were so many logistical issues we wouldn’t have been able to handle without her. We were so glad to have Agnes on our side leading up to the wedding.

marcelacabral.jpg

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Culver City, CA

Hello and welcome! marcelacabral .jpg was born from my passion of photography and videography and my love for love. Above being a photographer and video editor, I am a people-person. I want to know about you and your love story and deliver photos and videos to eventually show your grandkids (or grand-pets)!

Working with Marcela was an incredible experience. From the moment we met, she made us feel so comfortable and cared for. Her approach to photography was effortless and intuitive—she knew exactly when to step in and direct us, and when to quietly observe and capture the real, candid moments. One moment that stands out to me was just after our first dance. The reception was in full swing, and we were surrounded by family and friends. For a brief second, my spouse and I stepped away from the crowd and shared a quiet, unspoken moment together—just holding hands, taking it all in. Marcela saw us from across the room, and instead of just snapping a photo, she took a few steps back to really capture the emotion of the moment—the softness of our expressions, the joy in our eyes. It was one of those moments you didn’t know you needed until you see it frozen in time. The photos Marcela delivered are nothing short of magical. She has a rare ability to capture not just the event, but the feeling behind it. We’re so grateful for her gentle, thoughtful approach to our wedding day and would recommend her to any couple looking for a photographer who truly sees the heart of the moment.

Kristina Lee Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,700
  • Serves Culver City, CA

Born in the desert (AZ Baby!) and relocated to the sea. I firmly believe that a good day starts with a cup of coffee and ends with glass of red wine. I own more jewelry than I do clothes and in my opinion, too much gold does not exist. My biggest passion will always be photography. I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was a little girl – I would even set up “stylized shoots” in my family’s living room that consisted of sheets pinned to the wall, my friends and fake flowers (embarrassing, but I’m not kidding!). I strive for those editorial, Vogue-like shots, but I really live for those private, in-between moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was referred to Kristina by my wedding venue's coordinator. I was having a destination wedding at a private estate and she had shot several weddings and shoots there before. Knowing that she knew the venue and seeing her work, I knew she was a top contender. Having great quality photos was hugely important to me, and that was something I wasn't willing to sacrifice quality on. Her style was exactly what I wanted—natural, soft, minimally edited, and not overly posed. However, a good wedding photographer is an investment, so I wanted to meet with her first. Luckily, she lives in the same town as I do, so I didn't have to travel to the destination to meet her.When I joined her for a glass of wine, we instantly clicked and I was immediately a YES. Before my husband would sign on the dotted line, he wanted to meet her as well. We met for a 2nd time, all three of us, and he also loved her right away. Having that connection to a photographer is SO important to make you feel comfortable throughout the event and truly trust them (photos are awkward, right?). The day could not have run more smoothly, thanks in large part to Kristina. She made taking photos fun for everyone and our bridal party also fell in love with her. Aside from being fun and personable, she was professional and kept us on a tight timeline. She also made sure we fit everything in on my wishlist: first look, first look with my dad, bridal party photos, family photos, table photos, dancing, the hora...didn't miss ANYTHING. I'm so in love with my photos from that day and so happy to have those lifelong memories. Since then, she's become a great friend. Anytime I want photos taken for a life event, I will ONLY use her. She's taken family holiday photos, photos of my pups, professional photos for my husband, and I will keep using only her for family photos in the future.

Hugo & Kat Photo & Film

  • Photographer

  • Starts at $3,399
  • Serves Culver City, CA

We're Hugo & Kat, wedding photographers & filmmakers based in Los Angeles. We're a married duo & we genuinely love that we get to pursue this passion together. Our goal is to create a space where you can be completely yourselves. To capture the real essence that makes you, you. Both individually & as a couple.

Hugo and Kat did photo and video for my wedding during the pandemic and they were nothing short of amazing! They were so easy to talk to and I didn’t feel like they were “in our faces” with the cameras. Yet, they happened to capture the most intimate of moments. I’ll forever cherish the photo they captured of me and my dad! As an event professional myself, I have to admit it’s hard to find vendors that still have that freshness and fun. Hugo even managed to convince some of my guests to come out onto the dance floor after they were sitting ducks. That showed me that he wasn’t just there to take photos/videos and call it a day, they were there to go above and beyond and make sure me and my guests had a night to remember. :)

Established in 2020, The Revery is a one of a kind, premium event venue located in Mission Junction (Chinatown’s neighbor) in Los Angeles. 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
The Revery really is a dream of a venue. I call it, a hidden oasis! Conceptually, I wanted to create a speakeasy bar-like wedding and the revery was the perfect space for that. Anyone walking down the street in the industrial area would least expect to walk into such a transformative space -- I loved how unique the locale was, and loved even more how beautiful the outdoor veranda was. The clean, white interiors act as a blank canvas to design and utilize the space in endless ways. At the time, the indoor construction wasn't fully complete, but I took the risk and booked the site anyway, and am so glad that I did. My husband and I held a 100 person wedding in the fall renting the outdoor veranda, and it was absolutely perfect. Monica, the founder, was incredibly attentive and accommodating - I really appreciated her attention to detail, as she made sure the space was seamless for wedding day. I am hopeful to celebrate more milestones in this space, as it holds such value and is so special to me. I have every confidence that this dream of a place will be loved and favored by many. I promise, you won't be disappointed!

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 and Peter were so great to work with. I appreciated their understanding of how difficult the cost of weddings have gone up and how they were willing to cooperate reasonably throughout the whole process. Cook was able to capture all the shots I was hoping to have captured and his talent is truly evident. My husband and I were hoping to get some footage within the whole gallery of the not so “picture-perfect” to keep memories authentic and to see the natural candid side of our special day. Cook delivered that exactly through his videos. I truly recommend working with Cook if you are looking for someone to capture a meaningful event in your life. He is also so versatile in styles that he truly can provide you exactly what you are looking for or thinking through collaboration.

Jaycee Beauty

  • Starts at $150

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.

I connected with Jaycee (Jackie) when working in LA because we both have a very similar style. When moving out of LA I passed her to all of my clients and my top recommended makeup artist and I now travel back for large events that we both work together. Jackie is passionate and skilled in her craft and most importantly she works with quality products and follows strict sanitation protocols. She is my favorite artist to work with and the only one I would personally recommend in my place for any job. All of my past clients that work with her have nothing but excellent things to say!

  • Bar services & beverages
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Culver City, 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

LA HAIR AND MAKEUP

  • Serves Culver City, CA

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!!

Ever since I was a child it has been my dream to become a filmmaker. I love sharing my passion for film with my clients to produce stunning, high quality videos that can be cherished forever. My unique style of filming allows me to capture moments that would otherwise go undocumented and lost forever. Growing up on the Central Coast gave me an appreciation for the serene beauty of nature that I strive to capture with all my films. I currently live in Los Angeles where I work in film and tv, most notably on the Emmy winning show Abbott Elementary.

I am so glad that we booked 1920 video. After speaking with Brandt I knew it was a good fit because he understood my vision for our wedding video. I could tell he had a passion for storytelling and the art of filmmaking. He was able to capture our love story and delivered a beautiful work of art that we can cherish for the years to come.

Hiring Mandy to do my wedding makeup and bridesmaid makeup was the best decision ever. I wanted 'soft glam' and she did it absolutely perfectly. I am super picky when it comes to makeup and it was so nice not having to stress the day of wedding because I knew after our trial, everyone would look amazing. We all felt so pretty and confident and that is why hiring a good & trusted makeup artist is so important. My wedding makeup photographed beautifully and my bridesmaids and mother were literally glowing, saying they've never felt more beautiful. I would recommend Mandy to any of my friends getting married because not only is she the best at what she does, but she is also super enjoyable and fun to work with.

  • Serves Culver City, 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!

I would like to say preface my review by saying that I don’t normally wear makeup or style my hair. That being said, I spent alot of time looking through portfolios and meeting with potential make up artists. A friend recommended Deserae Barajas, so I booked a makeup preview with her. During our preview, Des asked me about what I envisioned for my wedding. She was also the only MUA that asked to see my wedding dress and Pinterest board so she could better understand my taste and overall wedding aesthetic. My hair and makeup came out beautifully during the preview, so I booked her for my wedding. The day of my wedding, I looked and felt fxxxing gorgeous! Des did a spectacular job on my hair and my makeup. She recommended that I go with a slightly darker shade of lipstick to better compliment my skin tone, and that made all of the difference in my overall look. I got married on Halloween in Southern California, so it was about 87 outside. The heat made me sweat but my hair and makeup still looked flawless! At the reception, I had a great time drinking and dancing. The best part was that I never even had to touch up my makeup! I looked great! I was glad I invested in Des Barajas because her talent and work made it easier for me to enjoy my day. When I received my wedding photos, my husband and I were both floored by how amazing we both looked. I received a ton of compliments on my hair and makeup, and I was finally able to really see why. My face looked amazing, and my hair was beautiful. Working with Des was really easy and comfortable. She listened to what my beauty needs and concerns were, and her talent far exceeded my expectations. I have recommended her to all of my family and friends, and you’d be a fool to not hire her. The girl works wonders! Thank you for making me look and feel beautiful Des!

Sally was such a wonderful photographer throughout the whole process. For both our engagement and wedding photos, she took the initiative to scout the nearby locations we were considering and was very responsive throughout the whole process. My wife and I had no idea what poses to take during our photoshoots, but Sally was very kind and patient in walking us through everything. The photos turned out amazing! She was able to capture the joyful moments, the funny moments, and everything in between. We're so glad we chose Sally as our wedding and engagement photographer.

  • Serves Culver City, 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 are top notch. From the moment you hire her, you will feel a weight off your shoulders and see everything fall into place. We hired Mia 10 days out from our wedding as our original event coordinator wasn’t being as responsive as we had hoped and it was leaving us stressed out and anxious. Mia immediately hopped on a call with me that lasted well over an hour and jumped in and took lead on everything from the coordination of the DJ, string quartet, catering and rentals to ceremony timeline and all the little details in between. Aisle Planner is the primary software her and her team use and it’s a great addition to see everything from high level as well as to be able to drill down into the details. We were doing a wedding across the county and had never seen the venue in person, and this software really helped us visualize the day and collaborate with Mia. Mia truly went above and beyond. I had a specific whiskey I was looking for and she went herself to pick it up from the store. She always texted and emailed back right away. The day of the rehearsal, we noticed a few items at the venue were not up to par and she immediately went into action and handled them and made adjustments on the fly. We had a lot of very specific requests, some on very short notice and she made it all happen. On your wedding day, you want to feel at ease and like everything is being handled so that you and your guests can have the best time. Mia and her team will make you feel that way.
