Hey! My name is Antonio McElroy, but you can call me Tony. I am a 32 year old Special Education teacher and DJ/MC. I began DJing under Robert Hilo of Hilo Productions in 2013. Under his wing, I learned all the ins and outs of DJing & MCing. My mission is to make sure you and your partner have the best time possible. From weddings to corporate & private events, I am here to help make the big day or event one for the books! I started this business with my wife, Jessica. We are committed to going above and beyond your expectations. We love to see our clients happy, and it's awesome that we get to do that together!

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I are so glad that we chose Tony to DJ/MC our wedding! In the months leading up to our big day, Tony was always available to meet with us throughout the planning process. His insights and experience were key to bringing everything together; he thought of so many details that we hadn't thought of, I really don't know what we would have done without him. Tony and his wife Jess are very friendly and easy to work with. It felt like we were working with our friends and not strangers that were there just to do a job. They really cared about making our wedding the best night of our lives, and it really was! Tony was great at reading the room and playing music that kept everyone on the dance floor. I saw everyone dancing, kids, adults, friends, even some people that I never thought would be out there on the dance floor! Tony made everyone feel welcome. I would definitely recommend Tony to anyone searching for a DJ. Tony and Jess, Thank you SOOO MUCH!!!! -J&J

Dynamic Wedding Duo Here! What we do: We create a custom plan to execute all of the wonderful details you have dreamed up for your wedding. Our services include planning, site tours, vendor meetings, details meeting, unlimited text, calls and email communication. We build a custom timeline and connect with all of your chosen vendors to have a seamless day. We are available to be with you from day one of planning to rehearsal. Day of your event: You get to be the guest of honor while we handle the rest! While you’re getting ready, we are setting out final details, while welcoming and directing all vendors so that everyone is on the same page.

Jessica and Amber were recommended to us by our friends who used their service for their wedding the year before our wedding. Our first phone call with them showed that their work style was ideal for our wedding service needs -- they were extremely knowledgeable, organized, supportive, and flexible. While we used their Day of Coordinator services, they were always accessible to us, very attentive, and routinely checked in with us leading up to our wedding day. Both Jessica and Amber accompanied us to our final venue walk-through, directed our wedding ceremony rehearsal, helped us finalize our wedding day timeline, and contacted all of our vendors to discuss the final timeline and logistics. Two weeks before our wedding, we completed their inventory list for decoration which was extremely helpful in keeping everything organized and preparing our decorations ahead of time. On our wedding day, they were exceptional! Jessica and Amber went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding ran smoothly. They made sure to follow our wedding day vision, kept us on track, organized and communicated with all the vendors, and took all the stress away from us. My husband and I agree that our wedding day was beautiful, fun, and a stress-free experience, and this was all thanks to Jessica and Amber. Many of our family members, wedding party, and guests also commented on how great our coordinators were. We 100% recommend Perfect Pair Events LLC services to everyone. In fact, one of our closest friends booked them for their wedding this month, and they have expressed to us how happy they are with their service, creativity, organization, and communication.

Marlyn A Photographs

Whittier, CA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,300

Before I Tell You Story, Here's a Little Bit About Mine...My journey as a wedding photographer began with a love for capturing the world’s beauty. What started as a passion for landscape photography evolved into a deep appreciation for documenting the intimate, heartfelt moments of a wedding day. Inspired by my own love story and the joy of welcoming our baby girl into the world, my approach to photography is about slowing down, soaking in the present moment, and truly appreciating the beauty around us. Based in Southern California, I specialize in destination weddings and luxury intimate celebrations.

Marlyn truly is more than just a photographer, she is an amazing friend! Marlyn has shot our photos both for our engagement and now our wedding. Both times, we felt so comfortable with Marlyn taking our photos. It felt more like hanging out with a friend than being in a photoshoot. She guided us and helped us every step of the way! Our wedding took place at a community plaza and I was honestly a bit worried at first if the place was "picturesque" enough for the photos. But Marlyn is so talented and she really could see the beauty in everything! We got our sneak peek gallery and we're already so in love! The photos look stunning! We truly are so thankful for her, not only because she makes us look so amazing in all our photos but we also feel like we lucked out meeting such a sweet and genuine soul!

Rob and all the staff we worked with at Second Song were great! I vetted several DJs for my husband’s surprise 70th birthday celebration and selected Second Song live DJ because they were able to provide a soloist and a sax player to compliment the overall DJ experience. Our DJ was Ace, Sax Player Austin and singer Natalie. I booked 11 months in advance, had a phone meet and greet 6 weeks out and had several revisions to the itinerary as we got closer to the event. Any changes , questions or ideas I had were promptly acknowledged, answered and collaborated on which continually reassured me that Second Song took a personal interest in making our night one to remember. I also found out that Second Song is frequently hired by my employer, Providence Medical Center in Torrance, for their Foundation events.

From our first meeting with him, we knew he was our guy. He was organized, thorough, and honestly just hands down the best. We had a lot going on, and he was great at getting us scheduled for meetings and keeping us on track (we definitely were not on track otherwise with that haha). The app he uses gave my husband and I the ability to put in as much (or little) effort as we wanted in regards to our playlists, and he just made it amazing. Anyone you ask from our wedding, had a blast. The photos and videos that I have from after dinner and whatnot, the dance floor is packed and there’s not a person in their seat. I’ve repeatedly had people ask for our playlist for their events now as well. Everything ran smoothly day of thanks to his MC’ing and directing a smooth transition from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. We can’t be more thankful to have found him, and that we were able to book him! Also, photo booth, HUGEEE plus. He customized our photos to match our design and it was awesome. I do have to say that we didn’t get as many people in it as I would have expected, but that’s because everyone was having too much fun dancing that they didn’t realize it was there. There’s no better feeling than hearing everyone saying how much fun they had at your wedding, and how they’ve never had such a great time dancing at a wedding. We cannot recommend Seth enough!!

  • Serves Whittier, 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.

10/10 would recommend randall!! We booked him for our engagement shoot and wedding and we are beyond appreciative and impressed. RDL is the only photographer my husband and I could agree on. We liked his photography style, the quality of the work, the price, and his personality. He even guided us with the timeline to make the most of the time and photography. For both the engagement shoot and wedding day, he guided us and made us feel comfortable. We’re def not models but he made us look great! We were able to get some posed shots and some Candids. He was PATIENT with us and didn’t make us feel awkward at all. The day of the wedding, I got so many compliments from our families with how they appreciated his presence. He kindly directed people and was patient with us and our guests. Def professional guy and just honestly a good personality. He’s also priced well. Def recommend booking a consult and booking him for your events!! You won’t regret it

Claudio Cakes was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication through email, text, and phone was always prompt and helpful as we planned the desserts for our special day. The quality of their work was wonderful - they provided a small assortment of cakes and desserts set aside just for us, and were able to accommodate our guests' allergies. The final desserts were beautifully presented and tasted delicious. Everyone absolutely loved the macarons. We were very happy with the service and value from Claudio Cakes.

I’m not even sure where to begin to describe how amazing Events by McKenna is at what they do!! McKenna is the most kind, helpful, and enthusiastic person to assist you during such an important time in your life. She made sure everything went perfectly on our wedding day and every day leading up to it! When we first started our wedding planning journey, we only knew where we wanted to have it, and due to the venue location not regularly being used for weddings, we needed to outsource vendors for everything. That's where McKenna came in and helped us out by hand-picking every vendor that she knew would provide the exact things we were looking for. From catering, florals, furniture rentals, DJ, and all the little details, she knew who would be perfect for the job and she was right about every single one! Every time we had a question or a crazy idea, she had an answer right away and she would do everything she could to make it happen. One thing that we were really hoping for was getting a disco ball above our dance floor, but since we were outdoors, it wasn’t looking promising. McKenna was the one who made sure that we got our disco ball, and it was absolutely perfect! That’s just one example of the many ways McKenna ensured our dream wedding would become a reality. On the day of, McKenna and her team were so efficient and handled everything so that my husband and I could relax and focus on ourselves. We got to our venue and everything was already done and ready to start the day! McKenna was amazing at time management throughout the day, and she was so helpful to not only us, but our families, wedding party and guests as well. Everything went perfectly on schedule and all the crazy ideas that we had came to life with no issues! It was truly the best day of our lives and it wouldn’t have been possible without McKenna’s help! I could write so much more on how incredible Events by McKenna is, but to sum it all up, they are the best choice for your wedding planning and coordinating needs and you will not regret choosing them for your big day!!

James was so much fun at our wedding! He was a great MC/DJ and was a hit with all of our wedding guests. He communicated with us throughout the wedding process and kept in touch with both me and my wedding coordinator whenever we came across any details we needed to discuss. My only concern was not having him longer at the wedding. My husband and I still talk about our wedding playlist and how we wish we had more dance time with our guests.

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! I scoured through hundreds of photographers before I came across Xenia and honestly, none of them compared to her work and eye for photography. Stop your search and book her; I promise you won't regret it. Thank you, Xenia and Mark!

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.

We’re so happy we chose Adam for our wedding photography! Our original photographer ghosted us a few months before the wedding, and finding a new one on short notice was stressful. But it worked out perfectly—Adam was even better than we could’ve imagined. He was kind, organized, and responsive, which was such a relief after our previous experience. From our first Zoom call, I knew he’d be great to work with. He made my husband and me feel so comfortable on the big day, and he and his assistant kept us laughing the whole time. We got our sneak peeks within a week, and they were incredible! We can’t wait for the full album. Highly recommend Adam for your wedding photography!

Hiring Tavi was easily the best thing we could have done for ourselves when we started wedding planning. We really had no idea what we were doing, I was super anxious about everything, and Tavi guided us through it all with grace, expertise, and humor. She helped us figure out what we actually wanted our wedding to look like (a rainbow fruit and vegetable disco party), what was important to us, our budget, our vendors, and most importantly, she kept me from losing my mind (which, let's be honest, is probably the biggest reason you hire a wedding planner, right?). She put together an amazing vendor team that brought our vision to life even more than we could have hoped for. After the wedding, we got so many compliments about how great it was, and how it was the best wedding they'd been to, no exaggeration. You can see it in our photos--everyone had a blast, and we loved every second of it. Our parents were so impressed by how Tavi and her assistant handled everything on the day of--and she'd also had a wedding the day before, so that's saying something. She was always on her A-game, always responsive, and we would hire her again in a heartbeat. And you should hire her too!

My partner and I’s venue search ended the second we ascended in the historical elevator to the penthouse of the James Oviatt Building. The Oviatt venue is a multifaceted piece of beautiful Art Deco history that lends itself well to whatever event you are trying to throw. In our case, they hosted our wedding. We will forever be grateful for their immense care and kindness leading up to, on, and after the big day. We met the President Gabe first, who had his own wedding at this venue before he managed it. He made us feel right at home and answered every question we could muster. Our one hour showing turned into a two and a half hour conversation where his care and passion for the venue and his clients became very clear. We felt a connection right away. He shared a wealth of great advise and reassurances and gave us an impeccable pool of preferred vendors. We were sold in minutes. Every event is different, but my partner and I did not feel the space needed any help to become beautiful. The architectural art of the space is breathtaking and unique from the valet area outside of the Cicada Club all the way to the terrace. We saved a fortune on a florist. Who needs one when everything is already so classy? Speaking of class, the Director of Events Lindsey took point on execution and was our resource during the planning process. I as an individual am not the most communicative. I needed someone with that attention to detail and she delivered. After giving her all the venue required specifications (seating chart, insurances, etc,) two conversations was all it took for her to equip the venue with everything it needed and make it gorgeous. It seemed effortless for her. Not a spec of dust or dirt to be seen and the staff was respectful, efficient, and welcoming. I had a panic attack because I forgot to ask them for valet and she was able to get her people on it without issue the same week as the wedding. (Don’t be like me, but that is a perfect example of how on top of it they are.) They had EVERYTHING we could have wanted for a downtown metropolitan wedding and then some. If they didn’t have it? They knew exactly where to refer you. One of my personal favorite features was their completely customizable LED lighting strips on the hedges that lined either side of the rooftop. We had them a bright warm light for dinner and then a cycle of rainbow colors for dancing. They are inclusive and welcoming to any and all who come to visit. We felt valued, respected, and well cared for. It truly was the best day of our lives and we owe it all to The Oviatt. I implore to to reach out to them. I can say with certainty that you won’t be disappointed and whatever it is you are planning will become a memorable experience unlike any other.

I was almost not going to choose Ingrid as a wedding coordinator and that would have been one of my biggest regrets as a bride for my wedding. I actually had already put a small deposit down for another wedding coordinator, but once I met Ingrid, she stole my heart. She was my calm to my storm, my ying to my yang, my Robin to my Batman…etc Ingrid is not only an amazing wedding coordinator, but she is also an amazing wedding officiant. She took our love story and crazy ceremony ideas (such as taking a shot with us along with our guests before we sealed the deal or taping our ring box underneath one of the chairs for a surprise ring bearer) and created the ceremony of our dreams. To hear from multiple guests that it was the best ceremony they attended was the best compliment we could receive because the ceremony is the most important part of a wedding. It was my favorite part of my wedding. Then she can amazingly switch gears from officiant to wedding coordinator and rock that too. She can do it all (literally). I always have other couples tell us that their wedding day goes by very fast and they didn’t really get to enjoy all the little things. However, my husband and I felt like our special day did not go by so fast and we most definitely got to enjoy the little things mainly because Ingrid took care of everything behind the scenes that no one sees. She created an amazing timeline for us, took charge of our vendors, made sure we were right on schedule with everything, was super communicative along the way… the list goes on and on. She is everything you would want in a wedding coordinator. I am very sad I won’t get to work with her anymore unless I get married again lol, but I would recommend her to anyone I know and hopefully get to see her in action again.

Trang was the perfect wedding planner for our special day! Her communication was consistently prompt, kind, and thorough in addressing all of our questions and needs. Trang provided friendly, efficient, and flawless service in planning every detail.

Lulan’s creativity has led to his path beyond most conventional definitions. He has won 25+ wedding photography awards, named the Best Wedding Photographer in Los Angeles; while acquired advance degree in immunology and medicine from UCLA.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Lulan Studios about nine months before our wedding day. We were immediately drawn in by their professionalism and their reputation. Lulan is an inclusive photographer who was very receptive to our wedding vision. He and his team were incredibly kind, supportive, and helpful all throughout the process. We elected to go with Lulan Wang himself for our photographer who worked with an associate. After our initial consultation we were turned over to Shannon who was our go to contact for day to day clarifications and vendor contact until Lulan took over just before the wedding. Shannon was immensely resourceful and responsive. She communicated with our coordinator very efficiently and was always on top of our booking. We are very grateful to her as well for making the process so easy and for continuing that communication after the fact. On the day, Lulan and his associate were spectacular. It was clear his associate had more than enough talent for the job just like Lulan, but they divided and concurred by using two different types of cameras for different types of shots. We regret not doing an engagement session with them, but we will likely return for an Anniversary session in the future. We didn’t even need one though, because he is skilled enough that he understood us as a couple immediately. They made us feel comfortable and confident. They hyped us up and moved through the shot list masterfully. Nothing was missed and we captured far more than we expected. Please look through our attached photos as they speak for themselves. One of the most exciting moments was when Lulan handed us a little blue book filled with about fifteen physically printed preview photos DURING THE RECEPTION. A lovely surprise that absolutely shocked me. Turnover was 4-6 weeks and we got ours just before the six week mark right on schedule. We were floored. They are jaw-dropping. We ultimately got 950 photos permanently digitally available for high resolution download and access to a shop with impressive options for prints and albums of a wide array of types and sizes. I’m thrilled to show them to you here and implore you to consider booking Lulan Studios. We trusted in their ability from the beginning and we were not disappointed. They are among if not the absolute best in the business.

Holly Castillo Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the beginning, Holly's communication was quick and easy, making the planning process stress-free. On the day of the wedding, she was very laid back and intuitive, seamlessly capturing all the special moments without us even noticing she was there. Holly's expertise and talent were evident in the stunning photos she delivered - we were blown away by how beautifully she documented our day. We loved working with Holly so much that we've continued to use her for our yearly family photos ever since, and wouldn't want anyone else to capture these memories for us.

I cannot say enough good things about Michelle and her team! Michelle was the very first vendor we hired, and she was there for us and helped to guide and support us through the entire process, and I trusted her completely to bring our vision to life.

Hi, we're The Moon Units! We're known throughout California for our 600+ song list, our authentic on-stage chemistry, and performances that clients have called "better than the original bands" that recorded the songs. And because we're a real band, we offer prices that are just a fraction of what corporate booking agencies charge. We can't wait to play for you!

Awarded Best of Zola
When I say that Dylan and the Moon Units MADE our wedding, I am not exaggerating. They not only delivered, the exceeded our already high expectations in every way possible. Music was extremely important for my husband and me, and we knew immediately that we wanted a live band to elevate the evening. We found Dylan and the Moon Units' information online, and after finding that they were very within our budget we reached out and Dylan invited us to one of their gigs in Hollywood. We loved their vibe and booked them. We asked Dylan to play both our ceremony and our reception, as well as play preset playlists for our pre-ceremony and cocktail hour. Now, I must admit, because music was so important for my husband and my special day, we had *very* specific ideas for what we wanted. Dylan was extremely communicative, answering all of my extremely needy and detailed emails in a timely manner and doing everything he could to reassure me that we were in good hands. We made selections from the list of songs they knew, and also asked them to learn about 10 new songs for us, ranging from unique arrangements of existing songs to deep cuts from 90's movies. Dylan's communication was warm, expeditious, and professional, and I felt really well taken care of. At our wedding, though, is where they exceeded our expectations. The live music they played was amazing, and set the tone for our wedding in the exact way we were hoping for. At the reception, they kept the energy up with a perfectly curated playlist of our requests (and we had quite a lot!) songs they knew would keep the party going. Their song choices appealed to the older crowd as well as the Millennial crowd. Dylan even help me set up a surprise performance for my husband, where I sang one of this favorite songs ("Go Cubs Go") with the backing of the Moon Units band. It was an incredibly special moment. And creating special moments was what Dylan and the Moon Units did best. Somehow, they managed to keep the dance floor packed the entire evening. Months after our wedding, our guests have continuously called out Dylan and the Moon Units as an absolute highlight of our wedding, saying that it was musically one of the best weddings they have ever been to. All-in-all, I cannot recommend Dylan and the Moon Units enough. As someone who was VERY specific about the music at my wedding, they exceeded all of our expectations. Book them for your wedding ASAP - you will not be disappointed.

Her and her husband Andrew are so talented, we had them do our wedding photos and video, as well as our engagement shoot, and my husband and I, could not be happier with how everything came out! We had too many amazing pictures to choose from to post/send out to family members! I highly highly recommend choosing them for your wedding, their communication and professionalism is unmatched and the way they make you feel comfortable in front of a camera is still amazing to me.

Aladdin Films truly made our wedding day unforgettable! My dear husband and I are still recovering from that feeling that we got when we first saw our wedding video. I’m not sure why exactly they did not went to Hollywood (or maybe they are, who knows), because they created nothing less than a masterpiece for us. It literally felt like we watched a movie, the way they showed our wedding day from the very beginning to the end was trully enhancting. I can sense and feel every emotion and feeling I got during my wedding day, today! It’s been a month or so, and still I sense our laugh during best man’s speech, the taste of our wedding cake and our kiss at the altar. We are so lucky that we booked them in time, because we thought that with their outstanding portfolio and their reasonable pricing, we wouldn’t had a chance to book them. These guys are true treasure, really recommend!

Gabbie Burseth grew up documenting everything and saving mementos in empty Christmas boxes. After studying at the Grady School of Journalism at the University of Georgia, she discovered an affinity for weddings and their accompanying treasures. Her philosophy as a wedding photographer is to observe with as little interference as possible — no faking it, no do-overs, no “for the camera”. Her biggest desire is for couples to be present at their wedding, not stuck in a photoshoot. Her work is punctuated by rich and vibrant color, the timeless quality of analog film, and a sense of humor found in fleeting moments.

Gabbie is the best of the best! I have been working with her for several years on brand projects and because she has always been such a pleasure to work with, it was a no-brainer to hire her for my wedding. I am all about the details, so I really appreciated her being willing to meet beforehand to understand exactly what I was looking for. She brought all of my editorial/Pinterest-worthy dreams to life! She arrived early, was highly professional, and made my wedding party feel totally comfortable. She perfectly captured moments I will cherish forever, and I could not recommend her enough!
