Allison is the best! She did my hair and make-up for my wedding and I absolutely loved everything about my look. Allison was professional, friendly, communicative, and honestly just a great presence to have around on kind of a nerve-wracking morning! I did a trial with her months before my wedding. It was a collaborative process where I was able to show inspo, talk through my vision, and afterwards give notes on what I liked and what I wanted to adjust. For the day of my wedding, she nailed exactly the look I wanted. I felt beautiful and received compliments all day. 10/10!

Rachel Madrigal Photography 

5.0

Wilmington, CA
  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,800

Hi I'm Rachel! I'm based in Los Angeles, CA and I love photographing people in love. It a passion of mine to tell the unique stories of my couples and capture them in a way that is authentic, true and beautiful. I mainly shoot in natural light I love the outdoors! But I know how to work lighting for indoor scenarios. My editing style can be described as moody, warm and film like with subtle grain and contrast. Most my clients praise me as really easy to work with and holds space to make them comfortable and look their best!

We loved working with Rachel from beginning to end. She takes beautiful photos and I am obsessed with her color processing, but aside from the product itself, she’s a lovely presence to have on such an important day. My husband hates having his photo taken and even he was relaxed and enjoyed the process. We’d hire her again in a heartbeat.

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.

Oh my God, I don’t know if we could say enough about Seth! From the very beginning, he communicated well. Immediately got back to us about our inquiry here in Zola and set up a meeting time. Was incredibly friendly, easy to talk to, and knowledgeable. Handled all of my wedding coordinators questions, adapted with us when we needed more time, and had a good structure which helped us think of things we would have totally forgotten. And the day of the wedding, he was amazing! Our venue had a slightly difficult layout, and he adapted and made our day fantastic! Also, we wanted a true DJ for our wedding because we love dancing and clubs. He delivered! We needed to mix both of our cultures, and he made that happen! An absolutely amazing playlist and every one of our guests had something great to say about Seth! 100/10, would book for any event again in the future and recommend him to everyone

Randall de Leon Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Wilmington, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Randall was recommended by our videographer (Call it Captivation Films, who we recommend). We really enjoyed his gallery and how natural his photos looked. We spoke to a few other photographers before him, but during our 1st video meeting he vibed well with us; he and I are both Fil-Am with history of working with pediatric patients (he as a PTA, me as a RN), and he and my husband shared a love for the same teams (Dodgers and Lakers). We were quick to book him after our meeting and are extremely happy with our decision to work with him! The photography packages he offers and his prices are amazing. Randall was great with communication and with providing us with recommendations (ie what to bring for flat lay, helping us pose, etc) prior to and day of the wedding. He did a site tour of our venue where we got to meet him and his kids in person. Prior to the ceremony, Randall worked with me, while the 2nd photographer worked with my husband. My husband said that the 2nd photographer fitted in well like one of the boys. He gave us a preview of the photos 1 week after our wedding and the full gallery of our wedding about 8-9 weeks after our wedding. We are so happy with all the photos! They are so beautiful and timeless, and they captured the essence of our wedding so well. **If you're looking for a photographer, Randall is your guy! I did the research for you :) Book him now! **

I love creating beautiful edible works of art that are unique for your special day.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough good things about Gabby and Claudio Cakes! I found Gabby on Zola while planning our 120-person wedding. Though I reached out to other bakers, Gabby stood out with her variety of items, designs, and services. I am an indecisive person, so when I contacted Gabby, we only had a rough idea of what we wanted: a small cake and a dessert table. Gabby’s excellent communication skills helped us find exactly what we didn’t even know we wanted. She took our vague ideas and brought them to life with her creativity. Gabby met with us for a tasting, where we got to try an impressive selection of cake combinations. From what I recall, she offered more choices than any other baker we considered. While we aren’t typically cake people, every single thing we tasted was absolutely delicious. Our wedding was in Ventura County, and Gabby was able to provide delivery from LA. Our wedding started later than usual, and Gabby was flexible with a later delivery time, which was a huge help since our wedding was outdoors—we didn’t want desserts melting before the reception started. Even our coordinator mentioned how great this was since it’s not a standard service. In the end, we ordered around 19 dozen assorted pastries and a small cake for photos. The desserts were such a hit that they were gone almost immediately, and even months later, guests are still talking about how amazing everything was. Some even mentioned being disappointed they didn’t get to try anything because the treats disappeared so quickly. Throughout the whole process, Gabby was professional, knowledgeable, and communicated flawlessly. I truly wish all my vendors were as amazing as her. I highly, highly recommend Gabby, and I’m just waiting for another event to work with her again. Thank you so much, Gabby, for making our day so dreamy!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

We had a slightly unusual (or, unconventional) ceremony in a couple of ways, and Trey handled every request without any issue. Lastly, and most importantly for a DJ, he nailed the music. We felt like he "got" us while also filling in the gaps appropriately. A true professional, and we feel fortunate having him on the deck for our celebration.

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!

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. I felt that she really cared about us as a couple, and that care was evident in the work that she and her team did on our wedding day. Our florals were gorgeous, and I received numerous compliments from guests both during and after the wedding. Her team did such a great job with set up and clean up, and they went above and beyond for our big day. We loved working with her!

Fatima Elreda Photo

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,600
  • Serves Wilmington, CA

I'm a digital and film Wedding Photographer in Los Angeles, CA. I'm trilingual and multicultural -- and it's my favorite thing about me. I will travel Southern California for your love story, from San Diego to LA, to Santa Barbara. My style is documentary and photojournalistic with a bit of an editorial and creative charm. I do not bend and sway with the trends of the current day, instead I focus on your unique wedding day to capture timeless imagery. As the moments unfold before me, I will help tell your story. I want you to look back on your images and be able to still feel the emotions within them for decades to come, truly.

Fatima not only takes great photos, but she also has the best attitude of pretty much anyone I've ever met. She gets the shot and captures the sweet, normally unseen moments between couples, amongst guests, and even amongst other vendors. During our engagement shoot, we ran into some of my family, and she took the cutest pictures of my niece and nephew on the fly. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, how we interact with each other, and really captured the essence of our relationship in both the engagement and wedding photos. And the photos of our tablescapes--chef's kiss! Truly a great documentary style photographer. She went above and beyond to get the whole day on film, and honestly is just the nicest person. One of my favorite pictures from the day is from when I realized, halfway through family portraits, that I'd forgotten to take the tag off my wedding dress. Fatima grabbed a pair of gardening shears, crawled up my dress, and got the tag, and her assistant snapped a pic for posterity. We're so, so happy Fatima was our photographer, and we look forward to flipping through our wedding album for years to come. :)

Carlos was the DJ for my wedding and I loved every second! He's very communicative and listens to what you are wanting and the vibe you want at your party. Everyone was dancing the entire time at my wedding, we all had a blast. Carlos really knew how to read the crowd and get everyone going! We had a mixed Latino and white crowd and everyone loved it. He also did great with MCing the entire very long wedding! I highly recommend.

We're a happily married couple that's been through the same process you're about to enter into, and we're seeking to help others capture their most special day—without fussing over the details. We fell in love in 2012 and haven’t looked back since. Together we bring you 20+ years of experience in having and creating fun, and YU & US was created as an embodiment of our partnership today. Jane’s love for personalized, bespoke weddings and events, coupled with Jon’s passion for finding and blasting the best tunes, is the winning combination any client would want for their special occasion.

Awarded Best of Zola
At the same time that we were getting married, my company was going through massive layoffs and my partner and I were moving to another country. Our wedding was going to be the last thing in Los Angeles before we left. Jane helped keep us on track and handled everything so no one could tell how stressful everything was. We had so many compliments on the wedding - from the DJ being absolutely smashing to the decor, clear organisation, food, everything. We really could not have done it without Jane and Jon. Highly recommend! Jane saved us more than once through this process

The Moon Units: Weddings & Events 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Wilmington, CA

Hi, we're The Moon Units! We're known throughout California for our 650+ 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
The Moon Units made my wedding. It all started when my wife (fiancee at the time) forwarded me an Instagram clip of them because she knew I was set on hiring a live band. I took my sweet time to cast a wide net and to follow, interview, and compare A LOT of bands. We went out to watch our top two choices and when we saw The Moon Units' positive energy, ability to rock the crowd, and musical skill, we immediately knew that they were meant to be our band (just like when we saw the venue we wanted, we just knew). They are highly accommodating, musically versatile, and truly professional, Hollywood type performers who will seal the deal on upgrading your wedding from already great to one of the greatest your guests have ever been to. The three things that most impressed me about them during my wedding were: 1) they gave it their all on every song whether there were two people on the dance floor or the whole group (and believe me, your guests will notice this too), 2) they were able to improvise to seamlessly integrate with all my other vendors and moving parts without any interruptions, as if my wedding was truly an entertainment production, and 3) whether they were singing rock, hiphop (yacht version), metal, r&b, pop, Kpop, oldies, or jazz, they performed as if it was their main genre. We requested them to learn two of our favorite songs that we loved but were skeptical that they could perform because of how hard they were to sing, and man did they prove us wrong! Each of the musicians are friendly, multi talented/multi instrument, down to earth people who love what they do and have a great time performing. They output pure sound candy and also look great doing it. Your stage will be glammed up and filled out, and your guests will compliment and remember your band choice even more than your food, I guarantee it. My wife and I are now semi-groupies (and I'm not ashamed as their gigs take me back to the best night of my life), and we aren't the only ones! That's something that no Youtube clip or online review can really convey. Good luck and have a great time wedding planning, but hire The Moon Units!!!
