My point of view as a photography turned cinematic making a memorable scene of love. I guaranty to you a photography session with reasonable prices + quality photography & professional costumer service.

Yesika Transforms Moments into Timeless Memories. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Yesika as our wedding reception photographer, and the experience was nothing short of magical. Hailing from Cuba and honing her craft in Spain and France, Yesika brought a unique blend of cultural richness and artistic flair that truly set her apart. From the very beginning, we knew we were in for something special. Despite her company being relatively new, our initial encounter with Yesika during our engagement photoshoot left us awestruck. Her ability to capture natural beauty and those fleeting, candid moments was unparalleled, prompting us to entrust her with the monumental task of documenting our wedding day. Yesika's journey to our rustic Farm in the Sierra Foothills showcased her unwavering dedication to her craft. Her keen eye for detail was evident as she effortlessly immortalized the blooming wildflowers and skillfully incorporated the mesmerizing sunset as a backdrop. The resulting engagement photos were a testament to her talent and left us with immeasurable excitement for what she would create on our big day. The wedding reception itself was a whirlwind of joy, laughter, and heartfelt moments, and Yesika was the silent maestro behind the lens, orchestrating a visual symphony that perfectly encapsulated the essence of our celebration. Her ability to narrate our story through her photographs was nothing short of remarkable; each image told a tale of love, excitement, and the sheer fun we experienced on that unforgettable night. Yesika's professionalism, coupled with her warm and friendly demeanor, made the entire process a seamless and enjoyable experience. She seamlessly blended into the festivities, capturing both the planned and spontaneous moments with equal finesse. Her passion for her craft and dedication to exceeding expectations were palpable throughout our entire interaction. Yesika, we not only gained a photographer but also an artist who transformed our wedding day into a collection of timeless memories. We wholeheartedly recommend Yesika to anyone seeking a photographer who not only captures moments but elevates them into works of art. Her talent, coupled with her genuine enthusiasm, made our wedding day all the more extraordinary, and for that, we are forever grateful. Thank you, Yesika, for turning our special day into a visual masterpiece!

Jess made my absolute dream wedding florals come true! After our initial consult, she sent me a beautifully pieced together PDF of her ideas/vision for the florals which must have taken her so much time. We discussed any changes, and then signed the contract. She was extremely responsive, flexible, and understanding throughout the entire wedding process which made my life as a bride so much easier. On the day of the wedding, she was there early and had her set-up process down to a schedule. I have to say, the florals were absolutely stunning and had my guests asking for the name of my florist. I feel that her work was truly worth more than what I paid for and I appreciate everything that she did so much. I don't know how to give more than 5 stars but I would if I could!

We worked with Yoko from Two Perfect Events, and her team was on top of it every step of the way. Yoko made sure to get to know us and took every step possible over the year we worked together to make sure that we were prepared for the big day. She was in touch with our vendors, and our families and made sure that everything ran as smoothly as possible. We never felt behind schedule or rushed because Yoko and team were so organized and on top of it. They really took care of us throughout the entire process. Something we appreciate is that they anticipated we'd need breaks during the day and scheduled those for us as well, they also made sure we were fed and hydrated throughout! Our families could not stop talking about how efficiently the entire day was managed. 11/10 want to plan another wedding just to hire them again.

Capturing moments that last a lifetime is not just a passion for me—it's a commitment. Hi! I am Carlos Garcia, your dedicated wedding photographer, and I am here to turn your special day into a visual masterpiece. Photography is not just a job for me; it's a privilege to be part of your joyous celebration and I take pride in creating a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere, ensuring that you and your loved ones can be yourselves in front of the camera. My goal is to capture the genuine emotions, candid smiles, and heartwarming moments that make your wedding day truly unforgettable.

Carlos provided wonderful service at both our engagement shoto shoot and the day of our ceremony. He started both with a quick speech on posing and posture to help everyone look their best. He brought his son as a second shooter for our ceremony, and they both mingled with our guests at the reception, getting casual shots of most of our friends and family. He provided finished photos so quickly after the event (a little over 400 photos) that we were able to send those casual shots out with the thank you cards.

Hello! My name is Kaci Danae Peel and I can't wait to meet and talk about your upcoming wedding day! ​ I grew up surrounded by strong women with high ambitions to make their small businesses successful in the hospitality industry. They were restaurant owners, bakers, caterers, and florists, and seeing their dreams come to life has lead me to pursue my own small business as a Day of Wedding Coordinator. After working in hospitality for 2 years as a Wedding Coordinator at a Westin hotel, Covid put a pause to my hotel weddings and fueled my fire to continue pursuing my passion of weddings by starting Kaci Danae Events.

Awarded Best of Zola
I literally could not have gotten through my wedding without Kaci. She is absolutely fantastic. She is super organized, always cool as a cucumber, very experienced with all the moving pieces of event planning (which I absolutely was not), and just a truly wonderful human who my husband and I were delighted to have with us on our special day. It's so rare to find someone willing to do day-of wedding planning (instead of month-of or full service planning, which quickly becomes extremely costly and was more service than I wanted). I have heard it is difficult for coordinators to come in "day of" to a brand new venue, so they prefer to only offer more involved packages and/or only at venues they work with regularly. But Kaci crushed it at my venue (Brazilian Room in Berkeley) even though it was her first time there. She was extremely reasonably priced and honestly for the service we got, we easily would have paid 3x as much. Think no more and HIRE HER!

Kim Baker Beauty is all about helping people feel like their best self, inside and out. This is so much more than makeup. We don't take it lightly that we are the first people you are with on your wedding day. How we make you feel is our top priority.

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could give Kim Baker Beauty more than 5 stars, I would!! My wife and I got married in Saratoga, California a couple of weeks ago and we couldn't have been more thrilled with Kim, Lupe, and Steven. We got hair and makeup for ourselves and our bridesmaids, junior bridesmaids, and even a little kid makeup for our flower girls. Our priorities were to feel present on our wedding day and to feel like ourselves, just a little more polished. We don't wear makeup on a day to day basis, and so we didn't want fake lashes or extensions. Kim worked with us to help us achieve our vision for our hair and makeup and encouraged us to give her extensive notes about what we didn't like at our preview (SO hard to do as a people pleaser, but Kim created a safe space where we were able to do so). My wife Ali thought she wanted a glowy look, but ended up going completely non-glowy on wedding day and LOVED it. She struggles to have her hair hold a curl for more than an hour, and Kim did such a good job her hair was still wavy the morning after the wedding after sleeping on it all night! I found out at our preview how particular I am about having my makeup done, and Kim let me do my eyeliner and eyebrows myself on our wedding day. It was the perfect balance of feeling pampered by Kim but still feeling in control of the things I am very picky about! Both of us have very sensitive scalps, and Kim made sure each and every pin felt comfortable and wasn't pinching. It made a HUGE difference in our stamina throughout our long crazy wedding to not have the added sensory nightmare of pins buried in our heads. Full disclosure, Kim is a dear friend of mine. But she and her team also hit it off with the rest of our bridal party! They're in selfies taken while getting ready, and they even got our shy junior bridesmaids chatting and laughing. We are so grateful for how they made our wedding morning feel organized, calm, and fun! If you're not sure whether to book Kim Baker Beauty, take it from me - there's none better.

Imagine your perfect wedding day nestled among trees in a spectacular natural outdoor setting with fresh air, natural creeks and soaring redwoods. We provide a full-service wedding experience that you and your guests will enjoy from start to end. Our all-outdoor venue provides everything you could dream of - stunning natural beauty, convenient location and mouth-watering catering.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Allows pets
  • Provides catering services
  • Private area for the wedding party

Venue considerations

  • Not for you if you prefer a more modern aesthetic
  • No on-premises lodging options
  • Additional event staff required
We held our wedding reception at Saratoga Springs in the Cathedral Grove region of the venue on a Saturday in October. After visiting them for a walkthrough, we booked this venue about a year and a few months in advance. This was the first venue we visited and we fell in love! We felt a great family-like vibe from the staff, starting with Jennifer who coordinated our initial booking and tour. Throughout our time preparing for this event, Olivia and Sam were extraordinary in their communication, response time, and knowledge of these events. They did a wonderful job in helping us understand what we needed vs. what we wanted and good decisions to make. They never tried to upsell us on more expensive options, always letting us know the best value for what we wanted. Throughout this process, we knew we had made the right choice in terms of staff. Scenically, Saratoga Springs is stunning! An outdoor venue with several different species of large trees like oaks and redwoods, many small creeks that run through and around the venue, and several amenities included such as lights that wrap around the trees, a firepit, and artificial turf that you can actually wear high heels on! We were in love with the scenery immediately because our reception was LOTR/Legend of Zelda themed and this was perfect for us. Throughout the actual event, the Saratoga Springs staff was excellent. They assisted us and our own day of wedding coordinators in running the event and making sure we had everything that they could provide. Our reception was during a brutal heat wave in the Bay Area, but Cathedral Grove had so many large trees that the shade they provided meant the floor never got hot and it felt more like 75 degrees which was SO essential for the comfort of ourselves and our guests. Everything was great, and we give the venue and their staff a 10/10. There was one glaring issue we want to address. The DJ we booked, Paul Dominguez, was a very nice man. He seemed to be on top of it, being in constant communication with us leading up to the event. We felt that he was going to do a great job. Yet, when it came time for the event, he made SEVERAL mistakes in what we asked him to do that we felt the need to address this situation and performance. He is part of the approved vendor list for DJs but we honestly feel Saratoga Springs needs to either reevaluate him or discuss this with him because literally everything else about the night was perfect for us, except him. Again, he is a nice guy and even provided cold sparklers for us for free which we really appreciated, but the lack of attention to detail in several aspects of this night was something we felt we needed to address here. Overall, Saratoga Springs is an excellent venue choice for a big event like a wedding/reception and we are happy to recommend anyone looking for a venue. We had an amazing experience for our reception and we are very satisfied with the staff and scenery of this venue.

Welcome and congratulations on your engagement! You’re here because you already have a good handle on the planning process and just need a calm, organized and fun person to ensure everything comes together seamlessly. That’s me! Hi, I’m Patricia. As a former Executive Assistant it was easy to transition to becoming a Wedding Coordinator. I traded managing CEOs and their schedules for managing couples and theirs! I’ve been in the wedding industry since 2006, starting with designing invitations and full planning to where I am now.

Honestly. Patricia was fabulous. As the Mother of the Bride, I watched her handle vendors, last minute surprises, and all of our guests with Grace and Professionalism. I never experienced any anxiety and knew that she had absolutely everything under control. My husband and I arrived before anyone else and watched as she seamlessly made sure that everything was done as planned. Her presence was barely noticeable except when needed and then she would almost magically appear anticipating the need. I am so impressed with her skills and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to my closest friends and family.

Aysha was a dream to work with for our wedding ceremony music. Her communication style was prompt and friendly, which we really appreciated during the hectic wedding planning process. She brought such a magical, romantic atmosphere to our ceremony with her beautiful harp music. Aysha is clearly dedicated and passionate about her craft. The music she played as I walked down the aisle was simply dreamy. Having Aysha play was one of our best wedding decisions, she really contributed so much to the special moments on our big day. I would highly recommend Aysha's services for any event needing an accomplished and talented harpist.

We hosted our October 2023 Wedding Ceremony at Hakone and we were so happy with the beautiful gardens and overall experience. The staff at Hakone (Tony and Melia) were extremely helpful, friendly, and easy to work with and they went above and beyond to make sure our rehearsal and ceremony went smoothly. We requested a unique setup with two aisles and we had a large decoration to attach to an arch we rented through a vendor, and they worked with both us and our vendors to make sure that everything was set up just right with plenty of time to spare. They also helped us work through all the important details of the ceremony without being overwhelming, and they did a perfect job executing on the actual ceremony, queuing our party to walk and managing the music and sound system. The garden itself is beautiful in any season. We visited multiple times throughout the year leading up to our wedding and enjoyed different plants in bloom every time. In October, the garden was still lush and green with redwoods, bamboo, and the Koi pond providing amazing variety. Our guests had a great time strolling through the gardens before and after the ceremony, and there were tons of amazing backdrops for our wedding photos. They even gave us a complimentary year-long membership following our wedding so we could come back to relive the memories! In summary, we highly recommend Hakone whether for a wedding ceremony or just a visit!

This review is long overdue. The staff was really amazing in coordinating our perfect wedding right from the beginning. We were planning our big day from out of state, which you would think would cause a few hiccups but the staff at J Winston Winery made everything very easy. Taylor Kinsey, Operations manager, was always quick to respond, provided great recommendations, had tremendous patience and was very professional throughout the entire process. They offered a package to buy out the winery at a very reasonable price so we didn’t have to worry about uninvited guests or rush any last minute details. The wine packages were just as reasonable; the only tough decision here was deciding which ones to serve. The newly built barn, where we hosted our reception was beautifully done. It had all the right touches with very little need for additional decorations. The day before the wedding we were able to setup/prep anything we needed to and of course enjoyed some of their amazing wine. We were really appreciative of them working closely with our multiple vendors prior to wedding day and getting them all set up on our special day. We can’t thank them enough for making our special day truly magical. We still visit the winery when we’re in town and to this day continue to thank them for the great job they did and reminiscence on the fun we had. Thank you John and the J Winston Winery team for being there for us especially Taylor and Leyla!

Nina Berry Square Dance Calling

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $1,600
  • Serves Pacifica, CA

I’m passionate about teaching and calling community dances that bring people together to experience joy, appreciate down home country music, and celebrate love! I come with a 3 piece live band and have lots of experience calling and coordinating dances for groups of 12 to over 300 people. I call the monthly Barn Dance at Pie Ranch as well as other community, private, and wedding dances all around the Bay Area.

My partner and I asked Nina to bring musicians and call square and contra dances at our wedding reception last November. It was wonderful. We wanted an alternative to a wedding band that was unique and interesting and affordable and charming and down-to-earth, and that went with our summer camp vibe, and Nina really delivered. Almost none of our guests had any prior experience at all square or contra dancing, but Nina knew exactly how to introduce the dance steps and keep everyone engaged. She was quick to respond to the needs of our group, and read the room brilliantly. To our amazement and delight, almost everyone participated, and multiple people told us afterwards that the square dancing was their favorite part of the wedding. Nina called the dances in a way that avoided traditional gender roles and accommodated dancers who didn't have a partner, allowing all of our guests to feel included in the fun. We are particularly appreciative of that. We only had her call for an hour, but we could have very easily and happily done more! In the weeks and days leading up to the wedding, Nina was very easy to communicate with, professional, and thoughtful. I could not recommend her higher for anyone looking for an experienced barn dance caller.
