Motel Cinema 

5.0

Valley Center, CA
  • Videographer
  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $4,000

Fueled by nostalgic recalling we aim to create a film that is timeless and authentic. Motel Cinema is based out of San Diego, Ca and our approach to weddings is inspired by the untraditional travelers before us, who hit the road in search of adventure into the unknown. We don't like boxes and we don't want wedding films that fit into one. If that tickles your fancy let's get weird.

Awarded Best of Zola
One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was to hire Motel Cinema! As an entertainment marketer, specifically for documentaries, how our wedding would be documented was top of mind for me and I met with quite a few videographers. Brandon completely exceeded my expectations with the moments he caught on film, the editing, the music, the vibe. I really felt like he saw us and reflected it all back to us in the most special way which we will cherish for the rest of our lives. He was an absolute joy to work with through the entire process- easy to communicate with and quick, but also a relaxed energy that fit seamlessly into our wedding weekend. I cannot recommend Motel Cinema enough and I’m so so grateful that we were connected.

CONNER UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT!! My husband and I gave him a few "must have" songs and explained the vibe/type of music we like- leaving him pretty much in charge of the playlist. HE NAILED IT. He played banger after banger making it impossible for myself and guests to leave the dance floor. He even included clips from some of the speeches that were given earlier in the evening. INCREDIBLE! I've had several people since, ask for his contact information to play future events! If you're looking for someone to keep the dance party flowing- call Conner! 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!

3STYLEDJS

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,300
  • Serves Valley Center, CA

I've been djing since I was 15 years old. I had a fascination for parties and events at an early age. I tagged along with my brother who dj'd at house parties back in the early 80's. I was hooked after seeing how much joy the music brought out in the crowd. I started buying my own 12" records, and it evolved into doing my own gigs: house parties, jr. high & high school dances, colleges, raves, underground parties, night clubs, weddings, corporate events, and so on. I started my DJ business in 1987, and have been honing my craft now for 3 decades. Thirty plus years later, I continue to love what I do. Now let's get the party started.

Awarded Best of Zola
No doubt, hiring 3STYLEDJs and DJ X-ray was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process. Ray and his team did an incredible amount for us playing tunes and MCing the ceremony, the cocktail hour, and the reception. He made sure the music was exactly what we wanted and had our party jumping for sure. Communication with Ray was super easy and open. He even provided a few suggestions to our timeline that made a huge difference for us. I highly recommend 3STYLEDJs!

DJ Pat was the best decision we made for our wedding day. I looked far and wide for a DJ to accommodate all the music my husband and I enjoyed for each event. We had very specific music and tasks from DJ Pat about how the bridesmaids and groomsmen walked down the aisle and how songs played at the grand entrances, which we changed at the last minute, and he still made it possible. We were even running behind schedule, and instead of rushing us, he was calm, cool, and collected and hyped us up throughout the night. He applied professionalism, passion, and insight into all of our conversations. The app he used to plan the wedding day out was very easy to use, and he gave us pointers on what had worked at other weddings he'd DJ at. We absolutely loved DJ Pat, and I highly recommend him if you are looking for the best DJ in San Diego County.

We booked FruitCraft before even seeing the venue 2 years before our wedding. We live in New York but grew up in San Diego and knew we wanted to celebrate there. We knew we wanted a space that was relaxed for all of our guests. We loved all the greenery and just the overall vibe of the space. Alan was so helpful in answering our questions, which we had ALOT since we were planning from another state. When we finally saw the venue it was even better than the photos! Day of their staff took such great care of us and our guests. We chose the Mediterranean chicken skewers for our dinner and of course had to do the full bar package.

Communication with Carolyn was such a breeze and she was available through text and several phone call meetings where we would talk through ideas and details. I shared my ideas with her, and she immediately understood my vision and helped so much in executing everything we wanted in our wedding day and more.

Hi! My name is Ayleen and I have been a makeup artist for 5 years. In my few years of experience I have been able to learn a lot from working in photoshoots, along with other artists and at countless weddings. From my first bridal makeup I’ve done on a close friend, I knew that’s what I wanted to do as my job. It took a few years to build my career and I am so glad I chased after my dream of becoming a bridal makeup artist. My favorite part of what I do is being able to be a part of such a special day in your life and there’s nothing that makes me happier than making girls feel their best.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ayleen is very professional, I didn’t do a bridal trail for my makeup and she definitely came through! The airbrush makeup she uses is one of the best, stayed put through all tears and sweat that comes with your wedding day. Definitely would recommend her to anyone for any event!

As your Wedding Planner, our mission at Amor Atelier is to help you enjoy the wedding planning process while we focus on perfecting each and every detail for your wedding. We partner with you to capture the essence of your personal style, honor your once-in-a-lifetime love story, and celebrate life’s most remarkable moments. We believe you deserve a wedding planner by your side who is truly invested in going above and beyond to make your dreams come true.

Olivia was such a bright spot of the wedding planning process. She is a positive person with infectious joy, which brings much needed levity to the wedding planning. More than just a bright, can-do attitude, Olivia is an adept problem solver and planner. As a 2022 couple, we faced high demand for many of the things we envisioned and a number of changing policies and prices as the wedding industry recovered from the pandemic. Olivia had key insights into how to navigate these very real challenges and, best of all, solved many of these problems for us. From her years of experience in the wedding industry, Olivia has ample contacts with many vendors. Her knowledge of their offerings and her working relationship with many of the vendors we ultimately hired helped to streamline our process. She recommended some of the best in the business (seriously – people at our wedding were asking our vendors for their contact information!) and helped to make our wedding day so special. She successfully leveraged her contacts to help us realize discounts with certain vendors. Working with Olivia helped us take the dream wedding vision we had in our heads and make it a reality. Even when we couldn’t put into words exactly what we wanted, Olivia was often able to understand and propose designs that reflected our asks. She also helped to push us creatively, so our wedding presented a more cohesive design with high design elements. Without her, we would not have had some of my favorite aspects of our wedding day. For these reasons (and more) we unequivocally recommend Amor Atelier. We are including some details shots from our celebration, but highly encourage you to reach out to Amor Atelier and have a consultation for your specific vision. If you dream it, she can do it!

Her artistic eye captured our entire day perfectly, without any stress of photos we "had" to take. A great combo of posed photos and in-the-moment action, she made us always feel comfortable. We received our photo gallery quickly, and the hardest task has been trying to figure out our favorites! I also appreciate the occasional check-ins since the wedding to keep me on task with ordering -- I'm sure otherwise it could be years before we got anything printed!

I am no expert in flowers, but I knew what colors and types of flowers I wanted and didn’t want. Angeline made notes of all my requests and also added her suggestions which I was very open to! We either agreed 100% or met in the middle, whatever made the most sense for both of us. On the day, I was blown away by our ceremony and reception space because of our flowers. They brought the color and feeling that I wanted on our wedding day. Angeline goes above and beyond and she values her clients. She’ll do a wonderful job as your florist and you’ll be very happy with your wedding florals.

I cannot express enough how incredibly grateful I am for the exceptional work done by Hector. He and his lovely girlfriend captured every moment of my surprise engagement with such ease and creativity. From the initial consultation to the final delivery, his professionalism and attention to detail was truly outstanding. Hector worked with me every step of the way, initially I wanted drone footage, but he found out it was illegal off the coast of California, we then pivoted and worked out another solution. He was also checking the weather for me, as it was supposed to be raining that weekend, he helped me pick a plan B, in case the location I wanted wouldn’t work, it took a lot of stress off of me, which was so nice. The video he produced is nothing short of breathtaking; it perfectly encapsulates the love and joy of that special day. Thank you, Hector, for providing us with a treasure that we will cherish for a lifetime. I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone looking to capture their most precious moments with brilliance and heart.

My husband and I want to thank Stephany and her assistant Annie for all the attention given to us on our magical day. Our favorite part of working with Stephany was that she is extremely friendly and funny. Which honestly made us feel comfortable from the day we met, to every meeting that we had before the wedding day. We would recommend Stephany and Annie to family and friends. They are professional, friendly, and most important patient. Not once did we sense they felt overwhelmed or stressed about anything. Which definitely gave us peace of mind knowing everything was under control by them both. We are also thankful that Stephany and Annie went above and beyond for our magical day.

I have been officially working as a professional wedding planner since 2017. My love of all things weddings and events began at an early age. I worked at a country club in the summers before my freshman and sophomore year of college, I worked on the food and beverage staff which included being a banquet server, and can you guess which was my favorite shift to work, you guessed it, the weddings. Once I got to the point in my life where my friends were starting to get engaged and I was a bridesmaid in their weddings, I found myself taking on extra duties and wanting to be more involved that it hit me, I need to pursue being an event planner.

I can't say enough great things about Miranda and her team! From our first conversation, we immediately connected with her and she already felt like a friend. She quickly understood our vision for our wedding and what was important to us. She encouraged us to make it very personal and unique--she never shot down any weird ideas we might've had but also brought an experienced perspective, while also keeping us on track with all of the little details and scheduling. She was so well-organized and professional while also keeping things stress-free, light, and fun. There were no questions too big, too small, or too personal with all the drama that can come with such a big event. Miranda was easy to reach via text/email, and took the initiative to reach out and schedule check-ins when needed to make sure we stayed on track with the huge to-do list that comes with a wedding. Her vendor recommendations & other suggestions were awesome, but she also respected a couple of the areas where we found our own vendors with no questions asked. She truly helped us get every detail settled, down to the napkins and our catering order details. She took all the stress off once we got to the month of and leading up to the wedding day, confirming with our vendors so we didn't have to worry about it whatsoever. Our wedding day went seamlessly thanks to her--it sounds cliche but it was the most fun and beautiful day ever and we were able to really enjoy it thanks to Miranda. We couldn't have asked for a better planner and I would recommend her to anyone getting married in the SD area! She also helped us with signage for the day-of and did a beautiful job at a super reasonable price.

Amari Productions was one of my FAVORITE vendors to hire and definitely one that I'm most excited about! Every single person I came into contact with was so nice, fun, and on top of it! Their professionalism is out of this world and I felt in such great hands. I can be an indecisive person, but making the choice to have them as my videographer was one of the easiest out of my whole wedding planning process! Not to mention, after I binge watched all of their videos and youtube posts, I was even more sold! They have already sent over my social media preview and I've watched it 30 times, while crying all over again every single time lol. If a 60 second video can impact me like that, I cannot WAIT to see the other videos to come! I can go on and on about how wonderful Amari Productions is, but all I can say is book them immediately, you will not regret it!!!

Champagne (maybe that’s why I love weddings) and sushi lover here! Photography has been my passion ever since my dad gave me my first film camera and introduced me to the dark room at age of 10. I lived in Japan for 12 years, and even performed on a stage there. I’m always up for a great road trip! I love tuna fishing. I love hats and want to wear them everyday (over 20 hats in my collection). I’ve been shooting beautiful weddings for almost 10 years. I secretly cry at every wedding.

Irina is an awesome and experienced photographer which is helpful when you have no idea what to expect on your wedding day. She works with you and your coordinator to make sure you get the shots you want. She even recommended some based on previous weddings she did at our venue. The planning process was straightforward and her rates were reasonable. On the day of the wedding she helped us get ready and reassured us that everything would be okay. She never stopped taking pictures and captured some wonderful moments throughout the night. We anxiously awaited our photos and they turned out better than we expected. She did a wonderful job capturing all the important memories. All of the pictures were gorgeous and she really made you feel special. We definitely recommend her to anyone getting married in the Carlsbad area!

The grounds offer a natural background of gardens and lush greenery, with the perfect balance of indoor and outdoor spaces. As a bonus, they are a short drive away from stunning California beaches and can accommodate requests for off-site ceremonies, including a beach cliff wedding ceremony.

The Secret Garden was the perfect venue for our group of 105 guests in May. It has an intimate feel, but still feels open and welcoming. The flowers were in bloom and the grass was very green. The coordination team did an amazing job accommodating all of our set-up requests and took great care of us on the day of. We are very pleased with everything and loved the preferred caterer and DJ that were part of the all-inclusive package. Overall we found this venue to be one of the more affordable options, especially given you bring in your own alcohol/drinks and can take home what’s leftover. This saved us at least 50/person. The surrounding area and city of Rancho Santa Fe are gorgeous. Parking was easy and all our guests loved the venue.
