Tyler Chase Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,200
  • Serves Marina del Rey, CA

I have been a storyteller my whole life. From throwing on crazy costumes to entertain my family to picking up a camera for the first time, I've always known storytelling was my passion! I am a wife to my rock, my goofy dance partner, my best friend. I am a mama to Parker and doggy mommy to Dunken who is constantly chasing both of them around yelling "YOU'RE SO CUTE LET ME SQUEEZE YOU!!"... true story.

When we were planning for our wedding almost a year ago, it was so important to find a photographer we loved and were able to completely trust. We immediately knew after our initial phone conversation with Tyler that we didn’t need to look any further. Tyler isn’t just a photographer...she does SO MUCH more. Our wedding venue ended up canceling on us midway through this year. I was devastated but Tyler was there every step of the way and ALWAYS accommodating. She answered texts and was always available...even if it was asking for advice on bridesmaids dress colors. We ended up deciding to elope with family in an intimate beach setting. Tyler helped pick a venue and led the entire step of the way. I never felt like I was just another bride to Tyler. My grandparents who weren’t able to attend got to relive the day through our photos which is something I’ll cherish forever. We look at our photos almost daily and stare at them in awe...nonetheless, Tyler gave us a sneak peek in about 24hrs!!! If you want someone you can trust and rely on and know someone who can take all you milestone photos moving further...look know further. Tyler is simply the best.

Jamaica Bay Inn

  • Venue
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Offer

The beauty of island living is effortless at the Jamaica Bay Inn, which makes us the perfect place for Marina del Rey weddings. Our waterfront location in Los Angeles boasts the perfect backdrop to your big day with stunning marina views, elegant venues, delicious on-site catering, and a professional team to help you work out all of the details.

My family selected Jamaica Bay Inn because it was next to a small beach cove accessible from the Bermuda banquet room. We gathered for a Celebration of Life event and wanted to fly kites in memory of our beloved that passed away. Sayyora the Catering Manager was extremely efficient and flexible with the menu and my special request. Christina and the banquest staff were amazing. Christina had to leave the room to answer another clients questions and made sure another banquet person was in the room until she returned. The food was hot and plentiful. We selected the Buffet Pasta Station (1 with chicken and 1 with shrimp), baby greens salad, delicious fresh fruit. Accomodations were made for my request for a gluten free menu. I was in the hospitality business for 19 years for major hotels as a Catering Manger and Covention Services Manager and my critical eye can be hard to please. But I must say that the attention to detail was above and beyond. I would recommend Jamacia Bay at every opportunity. My family wants to return for a family reunion or just a family luncheon. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing second song as our DJ service for our wedding was the best decision we could have made!! The team is so accommodating and made the process of choosing our DJ so easy. After choosing second song, they allowed us to set up phone calls to interview DJ's to find the perfect fit for us. We ended up choosing DJ Daniel Cabral. Daniel was attentive and set up multiple meetings with us prior to our wedding to discuss our vision for our wedding day. Everything ran perfectly throughout the entire day. The audio for our ceremony was perfect and the music selections throughout cocktail hour, dinner, and the reception set the mood for our wedding. We also hired a string trio through second song and they did a beautiful job at our ceremony and cocktail hour. Our reception was a party and Daniel made sure people were on the dance floor all night long. We also had my cousin play the trumpet at our reception while Daniel played a song in the background. Daniel mic'd up his trumpet for us and it was such a hit! We also got our Photo Booth through second song and they provided the uplighting at the venue! They are everything you could want from a DJ service and more!! If you are looking for a DJ service, second song is the way to go!!!!

We couldn't have asked for a better DJ at our wedding. From the prelude music to the last song, Seth kept the flow going, following our stated music goals and adding his professional knowledge to fill in the spaces where we were a little more opinion less. Seth is very organized and has a system in place to help the planning and decision making process go smoothly. His questions are helpful (I've never planned a wedding before, so he pointed out aspects for us to think about), and his suggestions are thoughtful. His skills as a DJ/MC fit perfectly into what we were looking for. If my husband and I were to do this all again, our first hire would be Seth every time.

Randall de Leon Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Marina del Rey, CA

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

We can't thank Randall enough for capturing our wedding day so beautifully! From our first meeting, he was incredibly helpful and easy to work with, making the entire process enjoyable. In fact, Randall is more than just a photographer. He has a network of professionals within the wedding industry that he's more than happy to connect you to. Whether it's a makeup artist, florist, DJ, and more! His calm demeanor and professionalism put us at ease, helping us feel comfortable in front of the camera. The photos turned out stunning, perfectly capturing the emotions and details of our special day. Randall has truly become our family's photographer. He captured our proposal, engagement, and now our wedding, and we look forward to having him document our future milestones. If you're looking for a talented photographer who is also a joy to work with, look no further! Until next time, Randall! E & J

Can't say enough about the quality of James's work, his attention to detail, his professionalism, and curating the best dance party experience at our wedding!! From start to finish he was extremely prepared and provided us with all the materials needed to organize the music and run of show. As both DJ and MC, James truly went the extra mile to make our day run seamlessly, and made us feel so special. He was even accommodating to our last minute music requests and was very patient with us. In addition to being extremely professional, prepared, and organized, he is such a down-to-earth and kind, genuine person. He even captured some videos of our first dance and grand entrance that we wouldn't have had otherwise because we didn't have a videographer. This was so thoughtful and truly above and beyond! We personally added on the photo booth option and are glad we did, as it was a hit. His rates were very reasonable as well especially for the package we got. Everyone raved about James and the music. He made our wedding day exactly the party we hoped for - the most fun we've ever had! Highly recommend James & All The Above Events for your next wedding or big event.

I’m Adam—a Boston native who’s now roaming around California photographing everything I see. When I’m not behind the camera you can usually find me in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes, sipping a dirty martini with friends, jamming to Taylor Swift in the car, or taking my rescue pup Ollie to the park or on long neighborhood walks. I got my first film camera when I was 8, and it was love at first sight. Capturing your story is more than just a job for me. From destination elopements to parties of the century, I've seen it all and love every minute of a wedding day.

I truly can’t say enough amazing things about Carissa and her team at Positively Charming Weddings. She was the very first vendor I hired for my wedding, a year and a half in advance. Within the first 2 minutes of chatting with Carissa the first time, I knew we were the perfect match. She is incredibly organized, compassionate, an amazing listener, and isn’t afraid to take the lead and make decisions when necessary. She is thoughtful, calm, has a wealth of wedding industry knowledge and was able to provide personalized suggestions based on my preferences at every turn. To be honest, I was originally super nervous and anxious to hire a wedding planner, as I am a very type A person because of my job as a programs and event planner. But Carissa exceeded all expectations and truly was able to allow me to relax and enjoy my wedding weekend without a worry in the world. She was a problem solver every step of the way. For example, she offered to manually fixed my seating chart the day before the wedding and found a print shop willingly to print very specific last minute signage (both things that were my fault that they were delayed/wrong). She kept not only me, but my husband and both families on track leading up to the wedding, provided monthly checklists, was available via phone and email for my questions, and even provided bridal party itineraries the weekend of. Her and her team were incredibly easy to work with, and our other vendors and bridal party members said the exact same thing. She can work with anyone, with any personality type, and makes you feel important and heard. If you want someone to go above and beyond for you, look no further! She will make your day everything YOU want it to be. Couldn’t recommend her and her team more…I walked away with a new friend!

It is important for me to articulate, that I serve ALL PEOPLE EQUITABLY!! However, I do want to note that I do require that the couple has a Day of Coordinator (not the venue person). Otherwise, I will also charge for coordination services as that puts the burden of day of logistics on the DJ.

DJ Trey is THE BEST DJ!!! I wish we had even more time on the dance floor to keep letting him mix because he’s a genuinely fantastic DJ! Not just a DJ who sets up an iPhone or Spotify and lets it ride mindlessly, but a DJ who reads the crowd, takes input from the bride and groom, and uses his skill and best judgement to provide music that gets everyone on the dance floor. Literally everyone at our wedding was on their feet for dancing and loved all the music DJ Trey played! He also was fantastic in making sure all of the music played on their appropriate cues and was well-prepared. He was great to work with for our wedding and we can’t wait to throw another party just so we have an excuse to use DJ Trey again!

Our experience with Xenia and Mark (videographer) was truly amazing. Xenia is truly a dedicated professional and her camera work is truly phenomenal. We booked Xenia for both our engagement and wedding photos and she completely exceeded my expectations! We originally booked Xenia and Mark for our wedding in May but unfortunately our wedding venue closed last minute and we were left to scramble in finding a new venue and once we did Xenia was so accommodating and made the new wedding date work. Xenia and Mark are super easy to work with; truly genuine individuals!

Hi I'm Carmelisse. I'm an intimate wedding & elopement photographer based in Los Angeles. I have a gift for making people comfortable and seeing the beauty in all diverse people. I want nothing more than to tell your love story right.

Awarded Best of Zola
PSA: Attention all future lovers, hire Carmelisse to capture your best day ever! I have been a huge fan of Carmelisse for years and have followed her in hopes and dreams to have her as our photographer for our wedding, which *fast forward* came true! To showcase her sweet demeanor, she sent us a survey to get to know us as partners and understand our vision. For our engagement shoot, she made us feel comfortable as she played music, helped us pose, and prompted us to flirt with one another to get a great shot. At the end of the night, as it was reaching golden hour in the mountains, Carmelisse brought us a bottle of champagne to toast to our love and photographed us slow dancing as the sun was setting, a core memory that we will never forget. Carmelisse exemplifies herself as an unofficial bridesmaid and I can attest to that! Personally, I did not have a wedding planner since the venue came with a day of coordinator. Leading up to the big day, I confided to Carmelisse about the order of events and details. Similar to the engagement shoot survey, she was intentional and sent us another survey to understand our wants for the wedding day. Until this day, my husband and I credit Carmelisse and her teammate, John, for keeping our timeline in order because without their professionalism we would’ve been lost. Throughout the day, Carmelisse and John kept us calm and collected with all the emotions of the day. In addition, Carmelisse handled our photo booth, which was excellent quality and our family loved the fact they could do gifs and save the photos directly on their phones. All in all, they were our hype people, our comfort, and helped us live in the moment and enjoy the best day. Carmelisse is our number-one recommendation for any occasion! She is literally an angel and a true artist in her craft. Thank you so much, Carmelisse! I will keep on preaching your brand until the end of time.

The Oviatt Penthouse is a ridiculously unique venue. The outdoor patios are amazing- perfect for the ceremony, dinner and dancing. We had a band and it was perfect. The views are insane. The bridal suite is the original owner's bedroom- all w/ original furniture. Gorgeous. The staff were AMAZING. Super cool, down to earth, normal people who are great at their jobs. We are so beyond happy we went with this venue.

Stephen Tang Photo 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,100
  • Serves Marina del Rey, CA

While some photographers emphasize their gear or trendy post-processing, I take pride in subject-photographer interaction - the relation I build with clients, picking up on nuances in pose and expression while we shoot, anticipating the viewers' response - because ultimately, that's how photographs that matter to us are created. I'm a native New Yorker who found myself relocating to Los Angeles and making it my home. Wherever you'd like to have your wedding, it would be my pleasure to be your photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
To say that I love and trust Stephen's work is an understatement. I live in New York City with some of the most talented photographers in the world available for hire, and my first choice wedding photographer was to fly Stephen Tang to NYC from Los Angeles. I wouldn’t trust or want anyone else for the job of capturing our wedding. We have worked with Stephen before, and I just love his style of work. I also fell in love with his studio work after seeing another couple's engagement photos and wanted similar pictures for our own. Stephen knocked it out of the park. Stephen exceeded our expectations with the wedding photos. We have everything we requested and much more than we realized we needed. It was so fun to relive our wedding through the pictures. The only potential downside of my wedding pictures was I realized that I forgot to take a picture with my grandfather. I felt pretty terrible about it. I received my pictures from Stephen and cried because there was a beautiful candid of my grandfather and I. It was so much better than a posed photo. It captured the essence of who we are. You get what you pay for with weddings. Your pictures are your memories. They live on for generations. It was important to us to have the best photographs, and we knew we could trust Stehen to capture the event beautifully. Stephen went above and beyond our expectations and worth every cent. It won't be 2,000 photos and duplicates of the same shot. He’s going to give you a beautiful, curated story of your wedding. Stephen was also very helpful with looking over my timeline and telling me what was realistic. His experience allowed me to set expectations for what I'd receive, and he did nothing if not exceed them. Wedding days are beautiful. They are intimate, but they are also stressful. I’ve been to weddings where the photographer brings an anxious energy. That’s not Stephen. He’s calm and confident. He also takes charge in a non abrasive way. On my wedding day I needed that. I needed my photographer to be a calming influence and I’m so grateful that I had exactly what I needed. Stephen Tang.

We are high end Wedding professionals who value curating one of kind event experiences that reflect our couples love. InGobo Events' home base is in Southern California and our connections reach all over the nation and abroad.

I met Christina at a Bridal Expo and was amazed with the offered Day Of Coordination package. I was able to easily communicate my priorities on the special day and even share my wedding pet peeves to avoid. Christina was excellent at brainstorming ideas and suggested plenty of ways to approach a situation. When we worked on building the timeline together, she was very thorough and insightful. I sent her so many timeline revisions (as timing means EVERYTHING and it definitely matters), but Christina took them and made it look seamless. On the wedding day, Christina and her team (thank you Heather and Leanna!) made sure we were happy and stress-free. Our morning started with Heather running the errands of the busy morning and was the go-to person for myself and the wedding entourage. Heather was also able to help us create a floral bouquet we used for our ceremony offering. It turned out so beautiful! She did a terrific job. I was always reminded to take a bite of food and to stay hydrated while we were getting ready. Christina helped us execute the ribbon wand exit after our church ceremony. It turned out to be one of the highlights of the day. Everyone had so much fun doing it. As for the reception, Ingobo was able to help set the table decorations- centerpieces, candles, name cards, order of guests, etc. Leanna was at our side making sure we were well-fed and no one pulled us away from the sweetheart table. She was able to give us reminders of the timeline and was very sweet. Overall, Christina and her team orchestrated our wedding day perfectly. We received many compliments from our guests stating they noticed how smooth the day went. Ingobo's Day of Coordination services made a huge impact on how we were able to enjoy our special day. My husband and I are truly grateful for hiring them as part of our wedding team.

The Moon Units made our wedding day truly spectacular! Every single guest says that a highlight of our wedding was the Moon Units. We loved how professional and flexible they were. Each member of the band is beyond talented and phenomenal. You must hire the Moon Units and I promise you will have the best event you’ve ever been to or hosted. The Moon Units performance at cocktail hour was incredible and then their performance for two dance sets was SO MUCH FUN! The bass player will even get on the dance floor and play with you which is just such a highlight! They are so versatile and know just about every song. Incredible. They can also help MC the wedding/event and that went flawlessly! It’s really amazing how they can cater to such a variety of ages/demographic with their music/vibe. Again every conversation we have about our wedding includes some glowing statement about the band. When you hire The Moon Units, you don’t have to worry about the details/setup, they are such experts at what they do. Thank you so much to the Moon Units for being a part of our big day. I could go on and on about how incredible and talented each musician is and how collectively they are just the best team and band. Your event will be phenomenal when you hire The Moon Units!

We absolutely loved our DJ! Misha was amazing and really delivered. He kept everyone on the dance floor, which was our one request. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because the communication from the office staff before the event was terrible. Poor Misha—we had to text him with questions, but he wasn’t allowed to answer directly and everything had to go through Ruby at the office, which was frustrating. We even had a Zoom meeting to review our music plan, but a week later Ruby messaged me saying it wasn’t completed. What was the point of the Zoom call if not to review it? It felt disorganized. However, on the day of the wedding, Misha executed everything perfectly. Despite the office communication issues, I would still recommend them!

I’m Mysi (pronounced, boringly, “Missy”)! I’ve been at this thing for 12 years and I keep falling more and more in love with it all. Give me intimate micro-weddings, quirky dive bar weddings, raucous South Asian weddings... my team and I absolutely thrive in chaos and emotion. My specialty is catching the moments and those tiny moments in between. ✨✨✨

I can’t recommend Soda Fountain Photography highly enough! Book Mysi, that’s all I can say! First and foremost her photos are gorgeous. It was extremely important to us to have bright, vibrant, dynamic photos to match our Palm Springs setting; as soon as I saw Soda Fountain’s Instagram I knew I had found the only photographer for us. We are definitely not models but Mysi made us feel so comfortable, confident and relaxed that we look our absolute best in our photos and she really captured the emotions of the day. I was thrilled to see how stunning our photos turned out! Mysi is also extremely professional. The planning process was made easy, she always answered my many questions and on the wedding day she was right on time. I really felt like she went above and beyond to insure that our day ran smoothly and that we enjoyed the photography process. I will always be grateful to Soda Fountain Photography for being a part of our day and for capturing every moment so beautifully!

I'm beyond convinced that having Tony & Jess provide the music at our wedding was the best decision my wife and I ever made! I can't say enough good things about them. Their professionalism, work ethic and easy going manner made our wedding one of the BEST days of our lives. I should also mention that the level of communication during the entire process, while also necessary, was incredible nonetheless. And the good vibes from the event were still being talked about four weeks later. I would recommend this Dynamic Duo to ANYONE for any event if you want it done right. -The Nelsons
