San Diego born and raised DJ! When I first started DJing with my Dad, the things most important to us were music and customer experience. To this day, as I continue to plan and MC events, music, and customer service continue to be a cornerstone of my business. Throughout this past year, I spent a lot of my time speaking with families, friends, past and future clients, vendors, and business professionals. I learned that it’s best to be proactive rather than reactive. I dedicate myself to help in any way I can! We are devoted to providing great service in the industry!

The Metric System Entertainment was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication was professional, thorough, and knowledgeable, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. On the day of our wedding, their execution was seamless and exciting - they kept the dance floor packed all night long with a playlist that perfectly read the crowd. The energy they brought to our special day was truly unmatched, and we are so grateful for the role they played in making our wedding an unforgettable celebration. We cannot recommend The Metric System Entertainment enough to any couple looking for a DJ, MC, lighting, photo booth, or videography services.

INQUIRE ON MY WEBSITE! I've been doing this for 8 years now, & it really does get better with time. There are countless memories of laughter, holding back tears (mostly happy ones), surprises, & moments that my heart didn't see coming. The opportunity to meet couples that become friends is something I will always feel blessed to have. I love building that connection as much as possible! You two together is your own little piece of art. At least that’s how I see it! So with that being said, I don’t want to try & copy someone else’s art. How you interact together should be captured purely.

We hired Emma for our engagement pictures and our wedding photos and working with her was AMAZING. From the personalized welcome gift, to the clear direction during shoots, working with her was a breeze. She always had time for any of our questions and was so willing to help with whatever we needed! Please hire her for your photos for a stress free experience.

With our guidance and expertise, we will help you with your wedding, your vision, and your dreams to make it the most memorable day.

My husband and I are still floating from our wedding and mainly because of how magical and how amazing it went - a huge part because of Sweet Blossom Weddings! We needed a day of coordinator and after looking at options, we were so happy to find SBW’s packages the fit our need perfectly. We purchased the Pear Blossom package, which includes connecting with a coordinator 3 months leading up to the wedding. And WOW. To this day, we will say that having SBW as a vendor was worth every single penny and then some! I would highly recommend them to any couple who wants a kind, patient and genuine coordinator who really knows their stuff and who can really advocate for you as a couple! A huge shout out to our main planner Kylie who was all of the above! In all of our planning meetings, she made us feel confident in our decisions and always offered us her suggestions and advice (which we we gladly took)! She was present and highly accessible to us. Whether it was to joke or vent about anything, she was there! She was able to pull our vision and help us execute a memorable day! On the day of, we had our personal PA Katie and another SBW member who helped with set up. A team of 3 really helped the day go so perfectly! Our bridal party and family commented how attentive and detailed the whole team was. We were also told that as a bride and groom, we looked super relaxed and present during the wedding and reception - and truly, that’s because we were confident in SBW in taking the reigns to conduct our event! Their seamless coordination allowed us to fully enjoy our party. As a couple or as an attendee, SBW’s presence was really felt in the most positive way! I will continue gushing about just how amazing SBW is. I highly recommend them for your big day - you will be so happy you did!

  • Florist
  • Serves El Cajon, CA

Levant Lane a full service floral design studio serving weddings and events of all sizes. 
 We specialize in creating meaningful floral designs to reflect your story. Paola’s non-traditional style stems from her love for nature, art, and curiosity. At Levant Lane, we look to nature for inspiration — creating loose, organic designs that mimic how they would be found in the wild. We tend to have a more minimal approach, giving each bloom an opportunity to shine. We obsess over details - colors, styling, the venue, the season, and most importantly, the vision + story of our clients.

We used Levant Lane for our wedding ceremony at Sunset Cliffs and our dinner at Coasterra and we can say without any doubt that Paola and her team were perfect for everything we wanted/needed out of florals for our big day! From the professionalism, to the adaptability (had to change plans somewhat in the last few weeks), to the execution of everything, they simply exceeded expectations in all areas. If you are looking for a florist for your wedding or event, we highly recommend Levant Lane and Paola. Their work and pieces are beautiful/flawless and they will really go out of their way to meet the vision that you have for your wedding day. They won't disappoint!

Maybe the best part is that what you pay to rent the facility goes to the MTRP Foundation to support the park- it's like making a donation! We loved that so much.

We offer a completely full-service experience that includes but is not limited to event rentals, catering, florals, and entertainment. Let us turn your vision into a reality. Victoria Ranch embodies the spirit of the coastal mountains it was built upon. On a clear day, stunning views of rolling chaparral give way to the sparkling crystal blues of the Pacific Ocean. The gentle and magnificent presence of Mother Nature surrounds this home that love built.

I had my wedding at Victoria Ranch in February. It was perfect! The location is stunning with beautiful views and a gorgeous sunset – plenty of spots for incredible photos. Our wedding was 80 people and there were tons of spots throughout the property for people to wander, explore, and take photos, while still feeling intimate. We had a happy hour event the night before our ceremony and reception, all of which were catered by the preferred vendor, Chef Joann. The food was incredible. Hands down the best wedding food ever. We ended up staying at the property for two nights with our families and when the weather got chilly at night we ended up moving the party into the ranch itself. The ranch is charming and cozy, full of vintage tchotchkes that made this antique lover's heart melt. Perhaps most importantly, the team was easy to work with in the months leading up to the wedding. They were responsive and knowledgeable. I put a lot of trust in their vision and input. It was the best decision because it took a lot of the stress off of planning a wedding, knowing that the catering and venue was in good, capable hands.

Shaun Baker is San Diego’s Premier Wedding Photographer. Shaun grew up studying film/television and the art of story telling. “I love people and I am fascinated by the way we interact. I love the stories that each of us carry around. That’s what makes us all great. I have a need to capture the individuals raw emotions and give it back in a beautiful way. “When the camera is in my hand, normalcy is the furthest thing from my mind. It is normal for me to be in a tree, on a rooftop, or laying on the ground during a wedding so I am always in the best position to get the most creative shot possible. I'm always striving to exceed expectations.

Awarded Best of Zola
My family has always cherished photos, so I placed a lot of importance on hiring an ace-level photographer for our wedding. And the first time I came across Shaun’s photos online I literally gasped out loud at his stunning work. He truly captured the couples’ and guests’ emotions—and he did the same for ours. Shaun and his partner Annie, of course, took the pre-planned photos we had asked for, but the joy was in the unstaged moments they captured. The photos of our mothers hugging with tears in their eyes, of my grandma dancing and whooping with my friends at the reception, of my now-husband kissing my forehead during our first dance…. they captured moments and emotions we didn’t see or realize were happening that day the first time around, and their work is priceless to us. They put our families at ease with their humor and professionalism, and it was fun to watch them come up with creative ways to capture moments, but it never felt intrusive. Shaun and Annie also completed our photo editing in a fraction of the time that was agreed to in the contract, and sweetened the (short) waiting period with a handful of sneak-peek photos, as well as a 10 minute video slideshow of some of the best photos set to music. It was a lovely way to share memories of the day with friends and family who couldn’t make it and wanted to feel a part of the event. We would recommend them to anyone.

Mobile Vulgaris (MV) is a floral design studio that redefines floral artistry with bold and provocative creations. Our journey commenced as a passion project inspired by the union of gothic aesthetics and luxurious extravagance. It swiftly evolved into a thriving studio renowned for its distinct and captivating designs. At MV, we believe that floral design is more than arranging flowers; it's a form of self-expression, a celebration of individuality, and a means of storytelling. We are committed to evoking emotion, provoking thought, and challenging conventional beauty through our luxurious and daring floral arrangements.

I hired Mobile Vulgaris after communicating with Kelsey. She was enthusiastic and prompt in her replies. I felt like I was talking to a friend. She was very flexible with my demands and desires. She even met me in person to provide me with mock ups and was receptive to my feedback. She met all of my interests and continued to communicate with me throughout the whole process. She kept me in the loop about how long it would take for delivery from Costa Rica. She did her research about my wedding venue, was on time, and traveled a far way to deliver. She took care of everything and reminded me to not worry. She reached out closer to the date without me inquiring. She went above and beyond!! She even surprised me with including some white roses in my bouquet! My whole wedding party loved their flowers and Kelsey's choices. I am extremely pleased, grateful, and fortunate to have worked with her! Thank you Kelsey!!

Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens is a private Estate that has been hosting weddings for 40 years! Hidden in north San Diego, Grand Tradition has two amazing venues to choose from including 7 waterfalls and endless lush gardens.

Me and my husband recently got married here at the Beverly Mansion. It was truly the perfect day! VENUE: Of course, Grand Tradition is absolutely beautiful (it is what we were initially drawn to). Their landscape is always luscious and VERY well-kept. Gorgeous bright green lawns and colorful flowers. You hardly even need any ceremony décor. This venue is pretty enough on its own. COORDINATION: We had a coordinator swap midway through planning, and ended up with Lisa. She was EXTRAORDINARY! She made the whole entire process such a breeze and easily answered any questions/concerns we had. Lisa was professional, organized and extremely friendly. We loved getting to work with her. She worked her butt off during the entire process, and it showed on our wedding day. Everything ran SO smooth. Lisa made sure to keep us on schedule and handled all the vendors, everything went without a hitch. STAFF: The entire Grand Tradition staff we had on our wedding day exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we arrived I almost felt like a celebrity. We were treated with smiles, enthusiasm and care. The whole team was professional and really knew how to put on a wedding. I had two bridal assistants, Mackenna and Kaitlyn, who were absolute angels. You both really made me feel at ease with our little chats. You were constantly checking in on me, fixing my dress, holding my drinks, getting me food and doing anything I needed throughout the entire day. FOOD: You never really know what you are going to get with wedding food, but I think Grand Tradition has some of the best. That had SO many options when picking out what we wanted on our buffet, it made it easy to accommodate all different tastes. Our guests are still telling us how amazing their food was. Everything was truly delicious! Overall, I would recommend this venue to anyone. If you want a fairytale, stress-free and perfect wedding, this is the place to go!

Candid wedding photography means working with the elements, capturing the atmosphere, soul, life, love, and energy of the day. Your wedding story deserves to be told in a way that’s real and unguarded. Let your wedding photography define your day, and capture the connection between you and your loved ones, and tell your story in its truest form. Within those candid moments you'll be able to relive your wedding day 10, 20 and 30 years from now. Deep down most of us want more then just a pretty picture to look back on, but rather images that put the butterflies back in your stomach and make you feel like you are back in your dress again.

Teresa is AMAZING!! Our photos are absolutely beautiful! We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her for our wedding. She is so talented, easy to work with, and captured our dream day so effortlessly.

Specializing in working with brides and bridal parties on their significant day is undoubtedly the most fulfilling aspect of my role as a Makeup Artist. The dynamic and high-energy atmosphere of weddings is where I not only excel but find my passion deeply ignited.

I could not have been happier with my wedding makeup! I felt so beautiful. I typically don’t wear a ton of makeup and I felt like Bonnie did a wonderful job balancing a natural look that came out well in photos without making me feel like I had a mask on. I got so many compliments. I also have pretty sensitive skin and we were able to use my trial to not only discuss what look I was going for, but to also figure out what products were gentle enough for my skin before my big day. All of her products are cruelty-free, which not only helped with my skin sensitivity, but it was also important to me as an animal lover. Bonnie was timely and professional. I highly recommend hiring her for your special day!

Stephanie Rose Events

  • Planner

Kristin Watkins is the joyful, energetic and detail-obsessed lead event designer at Stephanie Rose Events. Her impeccable reputation for creating memorable guest experiences attracts local and destination clients like you. Specializing in nontraditional venues, Kristin has transformed barns, museums, airplane hangars and private homes into one-of-a-kind luxury destinations. As a native San Diegan, she knows the city intimately and works with the best local vendors. With an incurable case of wanderlust, she has traveled to 19 countries and all 50 States. And as a mom to 2 sons and a cancer survivor, there isn’t much she can’t handle.

Kristin at Stephanie Rose Events was excellent from start to finish. We did not have a lot of prior knowledge of our chosen wedding city (San Diego) and actually were living across the country at the time. As such, we purchased the full service package from Kristin. Even before we spent a single cent, Kristin provided us with several recommendations for wedding venues, and several pieces of advice regarding our specific needs around having a Catholic wedding. Once we got into wedding planning, Kristin was extremely helpful with finding us an ideal church, reception venue and date. She set up several visits for us, and aside from that provided helpful advice for each venue. In a similar vein, when we chose our vendors, Kristin had a ready-made list for every vendor we'd need, - her advice and expertise literally saved us thousands of dollars in florals and food. For the actual day itself, Kristin was pretty much everywhere ensuring things were done correctly, and it was an incredibly smooth experience. I can only wish that I did her justice in my toast. Everyone generally needs a planner for their wedding, but we would like to highlight Kristin's service as invaluable. She was communicative, helpful and professional from start to finish, and is a true expert in the field. We would fully recommend her skills for anyone planning a wedding!

Hello There! I'm Paige, San Diego Wedding Photographer, Adventure Enthusiast, and Your NEW BEST FRIEND! I am happily married to my Best Friend, Jeff, together we live in Sunny San Diego, California and we rescued the sweetest Pup you will ever see (We might be slightly biased!). We love to travel, camp, hike, and explore together. Does going to Disneyland count as traveling (When you have annual passes)?! In my spare time, I enjoy being cuddled up under a blanket, with a cup of tea, and a good book

I cannot recommend her enough. From the second we met her for our engagement shoot, she immediately made us feel comfortable. She gave us directions on how to pose, which I was so thankful for. We got our final photos back so quickly. All of the wedding and engagement photos turned out STUNNING. I truly cannot say enough amazing things about her. Definitely book her if you can!!

I have been passionate about making beautiful brides for over 25 years. I have a special talent for transforming people and enhancing their best features. Your perfect look is my goal and I want to exceed your expectations! Bride only or larger groups are all possible. I also offer First Dance lessons. The first dance can be daunting and very scary so I make it simple and easily accomplished in just a few lessons. Lessons are private so you feel more comfortable.

Meleah is the best!!! I worked with Meleah for both hair/makeup and dance lessons. From the first makeup/hair trial, I felt at ease with Meleah and she really listened to what I wanted while giving some suggestions. On my wedding day, my hair lasted all night - even after 3 hours of dancing - and my makeup was perfect. I truly felt like a princess on my wedding day and it was in large part to my hair and makeup! Meleah and her team also beautifully dealt with some anxious moms/aunts on the wedding day. My husband and I also decided to do some first dance lessons in order to feel more comfortable having the spotlight on us and the lessons were so much fun. Meleah did an amazing job teaching us a dance in just 5 lessons and everyone was blown away by our moves. The first dance lessons were definitely a highlight of the wedding planning process and we are both so glad we did it!

Fueled by equal parts caffeine and passion, I spend my days capturing images that make you stop, smile and wish that time would slow down. Your story, your love, is beautiful and I can't wait to capture it in photographs you will treasure for years to come. I believe in real moments and heartfelt conversations on the back patio. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.

We wish we could give Cate 10 stars - she is seriously a ROCKSTAR talent! She seamlessly captured everyone's personality, and let us just live in our special day. We loved watching her get excited about awesome shots, and truly enjoying what she does. In addition to being an incredible professional, she's also a BLAST to have around, has all the positive energy, is an organizational master, and was a big source of calm in the midst of a crazy day. Our photos were extremely important to us, as the majority of our guests traveled from our of town and we had tons of special moments and memories we wanted to capture. We are absolutely thrilled with how they turned out - cannot recommend her enough!

Pink Poppy focuses on weddings, large events and corporate events, specializing in many different styles, such as boho, whimsical, classic, modern and many more.

Becky is incredibly talented and was a joy to work with. My husband and I contacted her only a few weeks before our wedding and she was so willing to work with us. She was responsive and organized from the get go. She took our inspiration photos and I could not believe when I opened up the florals on our wedding day (that she delivered directly to us!). She went above and beyond; her work was better than the pictures we sent her and held up incredibly well throughout the night. We 10/10 recommend Becky!
