Christina was one of the first vendors I booked through Zola and I am so lucky and happy to have found her! I wanted to have both live music and a DJ set at the reception, and many people told me I couldn’t for varrying reasons. But when I found L Rock Entertainment’s page, I knew it was the perfect fit for my dream wedding. Christina has amazing DJ skills and plays guitar and sings beautifully! We customized the package to have her duo Modern Highway play for cocktail hour then the DJ set. She was very communicative throughout the whole process, helping me with my timeline as I planned my own wedding. The day of, the band played beautiful guitar live during our first look, something we didn’t plan but Christina went with the flow like a true professional. The live music was perfect for cocktail hour and then DJ set was BANGING! Everyone on the dance floor came up to me at some point complimenting her perfect beat matching and transitions. She not only played our must-have songs, but also incorporated requests seamlessly. Even the neighbors complimented the tunes and don’t complain about the noise! Christina is kind, patient, professional, warm, talented, caring, and creative - everything you could possibly want from your music team. If we ever need a DJ for a future event, she’s at the top of our list. Book her now!

Born out of 10 years in the wedding industry, Vine + Branch Events Co. was founded on the principals of intentional design and overall client connection and experience.

Your love is unique, treasured and special - let's have your day reflect all you both are about!

Awarded Best of Zola
I have waited 2.5 years to write this review and could not be more thrilled with our decision to work with Vine and Branch! Tatiana was the best investment we made into our big day, not only was she our planner but our planning bff! When we switched our wedding from California to Italy she didn’t even hesitate and jumped right into helping us pick our venue, research vendors and manage the most insane logistics I’ve ever seen! Whenever I was stressed or overwhelmed with a situation she was already working on figuring out a solution with the vendor and was ready with plan B, C and D just in case. Whenever we faced a design dilemma I would text her with the preface of “okay this might sound crazy..,” and crazy enough she was always on the same page. She was also honest with me about changing direction with certain plans if she knew something else would work better. When you live in Pinterest like I do, it was important that I had someone who gave me honest opinions and made sure the design worked together seamlessly! I have heard so many horror stories from friends about their planners not taking their budget seriously but throughout our entire time working with Tatiana she never pushed us to pick a more expensive option or made us feel bad if we had to drop something off of an invoice. She was also upfront with us from day 1 about what it would cost to create our vision. Day of the wedding she was an absolute rock star! I’ve worked in the industry and have been in charge of running events so letting go of control is hard for me but she managed everything without a hitch and I was able to be so present knowing she had everything handled! Seeing the design we have been working on for 2 years was absolutely surreal! Everything was stunning and all of our guests absolutely raved about everything! I truly couldn’t have done this without Tatiana and I already miss all of our crazy conversations and shared Italy reels! Let’s do a reunion in Ravello, okay? Ciao for now! Megan and Conor

He arrived well in advance of the start time to ensure he was fully set up and ready to roll on schedule. From the sangeet to the baraat and the reception, he seamlessly blended traditional Indian music with modern hits, keeping every element lively and authentic. The baraat was truly memorable with high-energy beats that got everyone dancing, while the sangeet featured a perfect mix of Bollywood classics and crowd favorites. During the reception, his lighting absolutely accomplished the "cool" vibe we had requested, and the dance floor stayed packed all night; he kept all generations entertained. Trevor DJ Nighthawk also respected the cultural significance of our ceremonies and his emceeing helped the events flow effortlessly. We used him for DJ/emcee service and Photo Booth.

Hi! I'm Helena, a California native, with 24 years of industry experience. I've been in the hair industry since 2000, working in salons, TV, film, theater, fashion, as a hair educator, and the wedding industry, styling beautiful women, and handsome men, for their special life events.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where to begin...Let's start by saying HELENA YOU'RE AMAZING! I had started my quest for hairstyles and looks that I thought I would want for my wedding day. Flipping through countless photos on the internet, I came across a stunning hairstyle with Helena tagged on it. The style was not what I was looking for, but it was certainly something that caught my attention. I reached out to Helena knowing that she WAS the one. She came over one Saturday with her cup of coffee and began to ask me questions. All different types of questions secretly learning about my style likes and dislikes. As we chatted, she started working on my trial. She worked effortlessly and I didn’t even realize the magic that was taking place. I took a glance in the mirror and immediately asked if she was free the day of our wedding. I knew after the first style that she was the one I needed for our special day. Leading up to the wedding I kept changing my selection over and over again, and the countless emails to Helena with questions, she always responded with her thoughts and answers. Her professionalism and talent certainly exceeded my expectations. Helena - I wanted to thank you for the beautiful job you did on my hair and the entire wedding party. The style lasted all day and all night and I received so many compliments. I know who to call the next time I need my hair done - no matter the occasion!

Hi! My name is Sophia Gouirand and I currently live in Orange County. I have been baking ever since I was a little girl satisfying the sweet tooth of my family and friends. I always had a passion for baking, but catering for my friend’s baby shower made me realize I wanted to turn baking into more than just a hobby. Baking gave me the fulfillment I could not find elsewhere.

Sophia makes the prettiest desserts I've ever seen! I remember the first time I worked with her, all I wanted to do was take photos of the cookies she made because the designs were just lovely! Her work never ceases to amaze me. If you want desserts that stand out and someone who's responsive and communicates asap, Sophia is your girl!

I have always loved story-telling. I loved writing stories as a kid (I even tried to get a book published at age 12) and I love writing my own D&D campaigns now. Through storytelling, I see the paths laid ahead for our heroes, and beautiful adventures that need to be documented. Through storytelling, I started to see the pictures. And from these pictures, I began to photograph. I am crazy passionate about your day. I want to help you capture those moments. I want you to have the most amazing time, and the happiest memories. I want you to have photos so good that you can’t wait to show it off to the people you know, and even those you don’t.

I don't know how else to say this, but my husband and I are THE most awkward people when it comes to photos. We forget how to smile, we never know where to look, and we don't know what to do with our hands... or faces. We had a different photographer for our engagement photos and I didn't like the way 99% of them came out. We looked uncomfortable and awkward. I emailed Cassy about how uncomfortable we are in front of a camera and she called me to reassure me that she would be able to give us direction and make sure all the photos turned out great. We had a tiny micro wedding on the beach during covid with just our immediate family. I hired a picnic company to set up a tiny ceremony and hors d'oeuvres. Cassy captured all the details of the set up beautifully. My in-laws wanted a coffee table book of our wedding photos, and it was so hard to pick just a few. We got so many incredible photos! Our couples shots look like something in a magazine. She made it so fun, we never felt weird or uncomfortable. Cassy had these little tips and tricks and she'd get genuine laughter and smiles out of us. There were no forced smiles or awkward faces. When I look at my photos, it brings back all the memories of laughter and joy on our special day. I'm so grateful we found her! All our photos are light, airy, and perfect. Thank you so much, Cassy!

She listens to your individuality and embraces your ideas to create your own one-of-a-kind dream wedding. She takes the time and works hard in every single aspect of her craft -- it truly is amazing to have an artist that took the time to wrap 200 twinkle light strands with over 50 6 ft. fall leaf garlands and tie them up on the ceiling, all because I (the bride) wanted to feel like I was in an autumn rustic, twinkle light heaven. Hiring her is the best thing we did for our wedding. Not only did we have the wedding of our dreams, but we walked away with a lifelong friend. To hire Joey is to know your wedding or event will go off without a hitch. Trust me, just look at these photos!

Hi I’m Abby! been told all my life that I have an artistic flair and a gift for creativity, but that’s not the only reason why I started my career in wedding photography. I’m the biggest romantic and feel things deeply — in my photography there’s no detail in your connection that goes unnoticed. The little winks and smirks that silently set your soul on fire, the quirks that stay hidden to everybody else but you, and the parts of them that somehow make you fall in love with them even more… They’re how I tell stories because I know that in time, those are the things you’ll cherish the most.

Abby made our day unforgettable. She had this ease about her that calmed me throughout the day. Anything I wanted to make sure we included she made it happen - even the smallest detail that I had forgotten about she remembered. She drove me up a mountain for first look photos. That right there is dedication. Not only was she supportive as a professional, it was great to have her there as a friend. I would recommend this amazing photographer to anyone. The quality of her work shows through her photos and her work ethic. She had sneak peak photos emailed to me the literal next day. Abby is an absolute wonder, and I will forever be grateful she was there to capture the most perfect moments of the most beautiful day. Thank you, Abby!

"I am still in awe. 100/10 absolutely phenomenal. Thank you for above & beyond service. BOOK HIM you will not regret it." -Reese Free. As you compare performers, you likely wonder what makes one a better fit than another. Of course, musical skill is important. This is something I've developed in my 15 years of playing. But there's more than that—it's the ability to fit seamlessly with a DJ, to connect with vendors behind the scenes to minimize weight on your shoulders, to deliver your important songs in a way that accentuates the emotions of the moment. With Seps, you can expect a performance of a lifetime, with the easiest prep imaginable.

Seps was the BEST addition to our wedding we could have ever asked for! He brought the party and the energy and made it an unforgettable night. The number one thing guests talk to us about after the day! If you’re looking for a fun and unique touch to liven up the party, Seps is your guy! 10000/10!

If you are getting married in SoCal, and it’s important to you to find a team of photographers that make you feel comfortable and make your love shine through the camera, look no further than Peterson Design Photography . Marissa and Tim are not only a great team, communicators and photographers, but they are also pretty awesome to talk to; before, during and after your event. They took great care with our angles and personalities, they really made us shine with joy while taking photos, even when we are far from ideal models. Marissa had impeccable communication to make sure no detail is left to chance, and that was so reassuring to a type-a like me that had tons of checklists and picture inspiration. Being honest, we won a giveaway and didn’t do an economic investment for our elopement, but the value in all their work makes me confident in saying that they are worth it, that YOU and YOUR event are worth the investment, to get pictures that truly capture the real emotions of the day. We are so grateful to Marissa and Tim, and would trust them a million times again with our most precious day

I wish I’d spoke up on being self conscious about my butt, and I didn’t so I have some pictures I probably won’t be sharing, but the pictures we have are pretty, she got everything I wanted during our ceremony, I just wish I had gotten some pictures with my bridesmaids and me in my wedding dress. The ball got dropped on that. Other than that I’m happy with my ceremony pictures, and some of the pictures where I’m facing away from the camera I’m not a huge fan of. My husband loves them though, so that’s good. There was some miscommunication on editing and what not, but over all we got some really good photos.

Embrace U is on a mission to bring more confidence, joy, and ease to couples as they plan their wedding, and more presence and peace of mind on their wedding day. Our intention is three-fold: First, to empower people with the invaluable knowledge I have gained from years of working as a Venue Manager and Wedding Coordinator. Second, to guide and support couples with monthly action lists and goal-setting strategies. And third, to tangibly help organize and track the seemingly endless elements that make up a wedding. For those getting married in SoCal, we offer full support at the wedding so couples can relax and enjoy their big day.

When I first reached out to the Embrace U team, I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend the funds on a day of coordinator. After a couple of conversations with Erin, I was convinced the Embrace U team was worth every penny. The team did not disappoint, my husband and I will be forever grateful. Erin's attention to detail and years of experience shined. She ensured she completely understood our vision and what was most important to us. Four weeks prior to our wedding date, Erin took over vendor communication and was our point of contact. This was such a stress relief. Erin also created a wedding day timeline, which is one of the reasons why we had such a successful wedding. All the vendors and our bridal party knew our plan and timeline the week before our wedding. I did make minor changes last minute but Erin helped communicate those to the vendors. Erin and her team were always near by but not in the way. Anytime I needed to ask or point out small things that came up, the Embrace U team was just a quick glance and nod away. At the end of our reception, Erin and her team ensured everything was neatly saved away and cleaned up. My husband, nor myself, nor my bridal party needed to worry about clean up. As a Bride, I fully enjoyed every moment of our wedding day. Looking back I didn't stress about any aspect of our day because I knew we had Erin and the Embrace U team. I am so glad we decided to hire the Embrace U team, they helped make our wedding vision a dream come true.

On the day of the wedding, Karen and her team's performance was fantastic. Her music set a great mood and many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed it. It was a perfect mix of songs that everyone could appreciate. What really stood out to us was how easy Karen was to work with and how she added a personal touch to our special day.
