Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment I spoke to Carolyn during our initial phone consultation, I was filled with ease and knew she was the person I could trust in the process of coordinating our special day! Carolyn’s calming and positive demeanor was such a Godsend in the otherwise overwhelming process of making many small decisions leading up to the big day. 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. Carolyn coordinated with our vendors on the month of the wedding to ensure that everyone was on the same page. She helped our day flow so effortlessly and even between several locations from the hotel where we got ready, to the church for our ceremony, to our reception venue, and eventually after party. She added personal touches to the experience that were so special to us. Carolyn is truly such a joy to work with and made us feel so cared for during the whole wedding experience. We were in the best hands. We highly recommend Fête Events to anyone looking for a wedding planner who combines professionalism with a personal touch. Her dedication and expertise ensured that our day was nothing short of perfect, leaving us free to enjoy every moment without worry. Carolyn exceeded our expectations in every way, and we couldn't have asked for a better partner to help bring our dream wedding to life.

I could not recommend Wedgewood Carlsbad Windmill more highly. For half of what we would be paying at any other venue, I feel that we received top-notch service, aesthetics that matched who we are as a couple, thoughtful coordination, and worry-free execution. Our coordinator, Brianna, went above and beyond to give us the wedding of our dreams. We loved our DJ, Noah (with DJ Maestro), who was coordinated through the venue. It was a seamless experience that I genuinely feel saved us a ton of money and gave us MORE value than a traditional venue.

  • Serves Carlsbad, CA

I’ve been happily married for almost 27 years. I have three awesome sons. My parakeets Kiwi and Sparky are very social, meaning very loud! 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 from Carlsbad Photo was an exceptional wedding photographer. Despite having to change our plans due to travel restrictions, Irina captured every moment flawlessly. She arrived early, helped organize our dressing room, and was great with our daughters. The photos she took, including our first touch, still bring tears to our eyes. Irina expertly captured all the fun and dances, as well as our crazy families. Highly recommended!

We booked our August 2024 wedding with The Crossings in July 2022; partly because my mom was saying I needed to lock it in before it was too late since Covid messed up the wedding industry, but mostly because we knew it was were we wanted to get married. It is an all-inclusive venue, which means we didn't have to worry about rentals, the ceremony area, food, drinks, or a baker since they partner with VG's Donuts and Bakery. Lauren was there with us every step of the way and is truly the sweetest. The Crossings was super accommodating when we asked for adjustments to the menu and bar, and letting us girls get in to the bridal suite a little early. Also the food was tasty! Thanks a bunch to The Crossings :)

For me, photography has always been about more than just business it's about capturing your story. Whether that's a love story, your wedding day, or precious family moments. I'm here to document what matters most to you!

Honestly, we can't stop looking at our wedding photos. Evelina totally gets the whole minimalist vibe nothing over the top, just really beautiful, clean shots that feel so us. The photos are classy without being stuffy, you know? No weird filters or overly posed stuff. Just natural light, real moments, and gorgeous composition. Our favorites are the candid ones where we didn't even know she was shooting. Evelina was so easy to work with too. Super chill on the day, didn't make us do a million awkward poses, and somehow still managed to capture everything perfectly. We felt like ourselves the whole time, which I think really shows in the photos.

Hi! I’m Patricia, a floral designer with nearly a decade of experience creating unforgettable floral arrangements for weddings and special events.

I believe in delivering more than expected, and I take great joy in surprising my brides with unique, creative floral touches that make their day even more magical.

Patricia is the best florist we've ever had the privilege of working with! She is incredibly professional, accommodating, and creative. She worked within our budget without compromising quality, and was always kind, patient, and straightforward throughout the process. We especially appreciated how she took the initiative to attend a meeting with our wedding coordinator to see what decor could be used. She even visited our venue in advance to ensure the floral arrangements would be perfectly placed and suited to the space. That level of care and dedication meant the world to us! Patricia was also so patient and flexible with last-minute changes and additions. On top of everything, the flowers were absolutely stunning—fresh, vibrant, and they lasted for days after the wedding. We cannot recommend her enough. If you want a florist who is talented, thoughtful, and truly passionate about her craft, Patricia is the one!

Hello, I’m Megan! Legacy preserver, fine art creator, wedding photographer...and completely-obsessed dog mom. (Send me an email with a picture of your fur baby attached and see how fast I respond!) Of all the things I could share about My Sun and Stars and my work as a wedding photographer, here’s the first thing I want you to know: I don’t believe in imposing a mood onto your memories. Trendy edits, filters, and lighting choices don't add anything to the meaningful moments you share on your wedding day. In fact, they can actually detract from your remembrance of them.

Working with Megan and her husband for our engagement session was such a lovely experience. It was our first time being professionally photographed ever and we were expecting to feel super awkward. But it turned out to be a perfectly tolerable and even enjoyable few hours. We were given enough instruction to help some poses look better, but not so much that we couldn’t feel comfortable to be ourselves or settle into what felt natural — especially since most of the session was in our home. We were given a few Polaroid sneak pics on the day of that’ll attach. Megan has a great eye for detail and we can’t wait to work together again at our wedding!

I'm a light and airy wedding photographer in the San Diego area who loves pretty details and glowy light. I've been capturing weddings for 9 years. My images are warm, joyful and fun! I help my couples extensively with timelines to ensure we have the perfect photography timeline to capture all of your important photos.

Amira is absolutely amazing and not only talented but truly such a beautiful person inside and out. Her calming and engaging presence is so comforting and has a perfect blend of guiding a client organically, yet can assist with a pose to feel most feminine/masculine and enhancing the best of one's features. Her ability to capture beautiful moments, heartfelt feelings and joy between her couples, families and everything in between is goosebump worthy. She stops time through her camera and produces images that reflect a story; although the images are still, they are not motionless. She has the ability to capture that moment in its raw form and somehow layers an illusionary movement to the mind. Her photos, and editing combined produces an album of images that encompass a story. Simply put, Amira is magic *heart eyes*

San Diego Wedding Coordination + world wide. As wedding coordinators, we are there to inspire, guide and coach you in the planning of your wedding. Our goal is to ensure that the perfect day you have envisioned happens exactly as planned.

I We LOVED working with Stacey and can’t say enough good things about her. We got her month of day of package, but she began checking in with us starting a whole year prior to our wedding! After our wedding day my husband said that getting Stacey was the best money we ever spent on our wedding. Stacey is so friendly, I truly looked forward to our calls with her! She really makes you feel like she is your friend and that she is truly invested in the success of your day. She totally guided me through our tablescape (a word I’d literally never heard before she mentioned it to me) and was able to provide me with contacts for rentals for napkins, chargers, and the beautiful ceremony arch we had. She also recommended our awesome dj, she said he could read the room and play music to keep people out dancing, and she was absolutely correct! It really feels like Stacey cares about your day being beautiful and put together just as much as you do, which is a rare thing. For instance, once I began scheming on my tablescape, I fell in love with the idea of having monstera leaf place cards. However, this ended up being more difficult than I had anticipated with a lot of coordination required between the florist and calligrapher, to the point where I decided it was just going to be too difficult and I was going to scrap the whole idea. But Stacey to the rescue, she exclaimed that it was “too cute not to do!” and she made it happen! We also can without reservation recommend Stacey for weddings at the Safari Park. There are a lot of moving parts there as it is a zoo and not just a wedding venue, and there is very limited setup time available. Stacey was able to assist in guiding all our vendors, and she and her assistant beautifully placed all our decorations (welcome table, place settings, etc) which would have been impossible for us to do ourselves, as we had to do our first look prior to the ceremony so we could attend our cocktail hour animal encounter. Stacey was also invaluable both in helping us devise our timeline, and ensuring we stuck to it throughout our day. My maid of honor and my mom both had amazing things to say about Stacey after our wedding day, saying she was constantly moving around and making sure everything went off without a hitch. We as the wedding couple honestly hardly enough noticed all her movement on our day, as she had everything so well in hand that we were able to completely relax, enjoy, and be present in our day. If you want to ensure a seamless and joyful day, hire Stacey!!

Ashgabes Photography 

5.0

Carlsbad, CA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

I'm Ash, a Wedding & Lifestyle Photographer based in SoCal. My work is best known for its light, vibrant and genuine style. Most know me for having a loud laugh, and big personality. When I am not behind a camera, I love to spend my time at the beach, camping with friends or reading a good book. Preferably, all of those things together!

I cannot say enough about Ashley! I talk her up to every single person I come across looking for photos. She took our engagement photos and our maternity photos, and not only were they so beautiful, but she made us feel like we are just hanging out (while she’s behind the camera)! On top of all of that, we were slated to have her photograph our wedding but due to COVID, it had to be moved. She made me feel so calm and gave me all the back up plans she could think of (all while planning her own wedding during COVID). In the end she recommended someone else who was also amazing for our new date, and then edited those photos for us. I can’t imagine working with anyone else in the future, and can’t wait for her to capture our growing family over the years. 5 stars to this very sweet, loving lady!

DJ Frank and his team have over 20 years and hundreds of weddings worth of professional experience. They are knowledgable and passionate about music. They provide top notch personal service to each and every client. The entire team is comprised of special event experts and highly trained MCs.

Our DJ Mauro was AMAZING. We got married and I can’t imagine how different it would have been not having him there! From the planning meetings, rehearsal, and the big day he was so professional and fun to work with. He had the best vibe and all of our guests loved him. He put together the best playlist for our ceremony, we asked him for instrumental emo music and he absolutely nailed it! He helped us stay on track with our reception timeline and we are so appreciative. He truly was the best!
