Awarded Best of Zola
I have seen JAMS at multiple weddings prior to the most important, and that is why they were and are my number one selection for all things audio, lighting, "extras" and planning for weddings and events. Every. Single. Thing. they did beat all of my expectations. No one I have recommended them to has ever been disappointed AT ALL! This is the kind of vendor you go out of the way to thank the person who recommended them. I thought I had a picture of what I wanted down to even the tiniest of details. They did those details with professionalism, timeliness and clarity, and then went beyond. They clearly understand the ins and outs of how to navigate the most important day in someone's life and their business at the same time. They truly cared about my husband and I, and our bridal party, and our family. We requested songs the day of, did spontaneous karaoke, DJ Jake followed our song recommendation and "please no" list, he has bubbles and an incredibly impressive DJ set up. His DJ set up was so well done, it actually added an extra touch to our reception area and took it to a new level. Everyone was on the dance floor the entire time because he knew how to read the room and what to play. They did a great job capturing the most important moments and highlighting them in the videography. Everything was great. We also didn't have a wedding planner at first and they do planning as well, which ended up being CRUCIAL! My mom and aunt and BFF actually enjoyed the wedding instead of running it. I owe SO MUCH to this company for making the best day of my life flawless and unforgettable!

We offer brides the expensive peonies, delicate ranunculus, out-of-season anemones, and the ever-impossible-to-find-magnolia — all at a fraction of the cost.

Awarded Best of Zola
The process of using something borrowed blooms was so easy. I loved that the flowers could be reused and that I wasn't going to spend thousands of dollars on flowers that would just be thrown away! They included the return label in the box with the flowers they shipped out, which was great because we did not have a printer at our destination wedding. All of our flowers were fake because I was also worried about the heat wilting our flowers. I only rented bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages and a dog collar- but I wish I had rented my centerpieces as well! Amazing experience with SBB all around!

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jenna the dj kept the party hopping all night! She literally was so great in ensuring the guests were kept in the loop the entire night. The couple loved x files and she was made aware and went out of her way to play the x files theme song as a surprise for them. Also, there was an inside joke with a cardboard cutout of Danny Devito. When they did a couples dance she even joked about how if someone didn’t have a partner they could dance with Danny. She was very personable and even helped clear plates in her free time. In addition, there was an issue where the hired officiant didn’t show up on time. I called Live Events as a back up and the owner Dennis told me he was an hour and a half away at another wedding but would come immediately. He rushed to our aid even when I told him the other officiant finally showed up. He showed up ready to help in any way he could. This company is top notch in all they do. Professional, polite, friendly, fun and ready to exceed your expectations. The only mistake you could make on your wedding day would be not hiring them.

We had the most incredible experience with the Faux Bouquets! From start to finish, Brittany was responsive, caring and efficient! We rented the ‘Moody Romance’ suite and I purchased an add on of a custom bridal bouquet and boutonnière! I had done thorough research on purchasing real flowers and while price was our driving factor, I loved the element of saving on waste with renting and the option to purchase a keepsake! Brittany spent time talking to me so many times about questions I had and was incredibly patient! With the custom bouquet, I was able to upload inspiration photos and she NAILED it! The shipping process was so seamless as well. Brittany provided the tracking numbers and thorough instructions on receiving and then returning the flowers. I pride myself on getting ALL the flowers returned in record time (Brittany said) ;) All of our guests couldn’t believe the flowers were fake and everyone was raving about them! Do yourself a favor and go with The Fuax Bouquets!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Isaac’s photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.

Mark and his team confidently tackled the task of live-streaming the service while also capturing amazing moments throughout the day. From the “must haves” in the ceremony to the creativity of the highlights reel, Flower Oak delivered on all levels. I come from a technical background (audio recording) and ran sound for our wedding, so being able to “talk nerdy” with Mark, while also being able to “let go” and let him and his crew do their thing to capture our special day was super exciting. He is friends with our photographer and having their collaborative energies together was the best of all worlds.

Lover of all things photography. I have been a photographer for over 10 years and love what we do. I have an amazing team that helps me out. My husband also second shoots with me. I like to say you get two professionals for the price of one. I try to offer quality at a reasonable cost. I know photography can be daunting for some people and my goal is always to put people at ease.

Best decision we could have made. Communication was wonderful from the start and the photos are amazing. I felt Hdi has a gift of photography and what will look great. From the little details they were on it. She made me feel like family. Mostly, her images are what we have left of our day and I’m so glad we went with Timeless Imagery. Don’t cut your hours short - so you don’t feel rushed. Best advice I could give.

Rachel is an outstanding DJ and emcee. She met with us virtually a few times to get our music squared away for an awesome reception. She was always professional and carried a calming presence with her that assured us we'd made the right choice. Rachel kept guests glued to the dance floor, reading the room perfectly with whatever song came next. Easy communication, affordable, and an expert in her role. We didn't utilize her day-of services, but I imagine she is proficient in anything she may be hired for. We highly recommend DJ Rachel!

I looked at SO MANY wedding videos and they were all so similar and cookie cutter. They were lacking something but I couldn’t put my finger on it. THEN I FOUND JIMMY SHIN. I watched his videos and found myself sobbing at strangers videos! He made me feel like I knew the bride and groom after just 7 minutes. He's so good! Jimmy will take your wedding video and turn it into the most beautiful story. The video he made for us just so beautifully captured my husband and I's day! It's a video i'll cherish for the rest of my life. I can't wait for our kids to be able to watch it. UGH, seriously hire this man and you won't regret it. Best wedding money we spent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?viVAKZzODr6E

Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life, and I am so happy that you are considering including us to be a part of it. I commit to a limited number of Weddings per year to ensure that your day remains a priority. Photography is all about connection and your photographer will be one of the biggest and longest-lasting connections you’ll share with any of your wedding vendors. I strive to create beautiful portraits, but also a lasting relationship with my couples. When you book with us, you are not just a client, you become part of the JYP family! I am honored to have the opportunity to laugh…to cry…to share your love story.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I even start? Jessica is probably hands down the easiest person we worked with on our wedding. We unintentionally scheduled our wedding on Mother's day and this was obviously an important day for her, but she worked with us anyway. She worked through our foolishness (my husband and I are incapable of being serious in most situations), and often would join in on the fun. She also provided a schedule of events which was incredibly helpful for me as I had no idea what I was doing. Jessica is an amazing photographer, but that is not really the best quality here. She is an amazing person all around and I highly recommend her!
