What an amazing experience working with Joey. He was very thoughtful in curating the music for our day and I hope you find what you are looking for with him. I am a wedding vendor of 15 years as well doing hair, makeup and morning concierge. One of my past brides at one of my most favorite venues to work at is how I was introduced to Joey. After coming out of the hair room I love taking a moment to walk around the venue and there he was playing the cello along with some background music. I was hooked. I love that he was incorporating songs of today with the art of an instrument. I found it unique and something I wanted to showcase at my wedding. I didn’t want people to walk up to just music playing in the space, but an experience. Joey took the time to do 2 calls with us, one being over the phone and the second being over zoom. He came with a detailed questionnaire of how we wanted our wedding to go. It was so detailed that even a music mood girl I didn’t even think of. The calls were scheduled for 30 minutes but he didn’t hesitate to chat with me for over an hour on how I wanted it to be curated. I had already started 2 wedding playlists, but he added and sent me 5 to 6 albums to fill out of songs I loved and wanted. I had over 10 hours of music to play and not only did he take those into consideration he added music that my guests also requested. He even accepted me saying change this song and only play the 10 year olds music every 10 songs He needed to set up in two spaces, one for the ceremony which was outside on our property. He was set up and playing by the time guests arrived. Everyone I spoke with loved the music selection, which I told him “Bridgerton vibes” and he ran with it. After the ceremony his assistant had music playing for the cocktail hour while they broke down the equipment in the ceremony area. I was blown away by the lights that were brought and the look of everything. Microphones worked for speeches and he even had a stand for those who wanted to use them. We didn’t do a traditional walk in but he announced us perfectly and we ran around the tables saying hello to our friends and family. I would recommend Joey to anyone looking to have an experience for their guests, have a DJ but also want strings all in one. He was professional, timely and for someone who did not have a day of coordination or planner very informative. I wanted vendors to do what they do best and I’m glad I trusted him to provide us with music throughout the day and night!

After serving the Bay Area for years, I've moved to Lincoln and looking forward to serving our new community. A little about me: Always lived in the country raising cattle and horses. Grew up learning from mother about all things florals. Worked in vet med for years while also doing wedding flowers with my mother. Now that my husband and I have moved to Lincoln I decided to start my floral business full time.

Awarded Best of Zola
Heather was a dream vendor to work with. She helped make this vision come to life- from planning, strategizing my budget, introducing me to different ideas and creating pieces that I was able to use during my ceremony and repurpose for my reception. She was so understanding, flexible, easy to work with and gave me the most grace when I was undecided on something. She is patient and kind and I couldn’t recommend anyone else on such a stressful/important day- she goes above and beyond. Her communication is excellent and her attention to detail is immaculate. Our flowers were beautiful and high quality. All of the pieces were put together with excellent care and didn’t fall apart. Our boutonnières were magnets- easy for the men to put on! She created a pocket boutonnière for the groom that was so different and special. My bridal bouquet was the perfect size and wasn’t heavy at all! She even did our petals for our flower girls. Heather, we loved working with you and look forward to future events where you can help execute our next vision. Thank you for everything and all of your hard work . Love, The Parkers

Anne Roos was a fantastic live music addition to our wedding in early April. She had worked with our coordinator in the past, making it a seamless integration into the wedding program. We loved the deep library of music that she offered; we found songs that fit every moment for our ceremony and the cocktail hour. The music added a classy touch to our ceremony and the guests loved the movie themes and show tunes! We had our wedding just after in the last major snowfall in North Lake and she was able to accommodate that the changing weather without any disruption to the program. We would highly recommend Anne for anyone looking for a Classical harpist in the Tahoe region.

I can honestly say that Ali was our wedding-planning superhero! When we first started planning our wedding, I wasn’t even considering hiring a wedding planner since our venue came with a coordinator. However, looking back now, I truly have no idea how we would have pulled off our wedding without Ali. She was absolutely indispensable! I did most of the vendor research and design planning on my own, and while that was manageable, Ali’s services took the entire experience to the next level. She was a lifesaver when it came to the logistics. She kept me organized, helped me stay on track, and made sure I was realistic about what could be done within my vision and budget. Even when the process got overwhelming, Ali was there, ensuring I didn’t get lost in the details or stray too far from my goals. On the wedding day itself, Ali truly shined. From what I was told, there were a few hiccups throughout the day (which is inevitable with any event of this scale), but I never had to worry about a thing. Ali quietly and efficiently handled everything behind the scenes, ensuring that I wasn’t aware of any issues and always had a solution in place before I even knew there was a problem. Thanks to her, I was able to relax and enjoy every moment of our special day without stress. If you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, I can wholeheartedly recommend Ali. She made all the difference for us, and I’ll forever be grateful for her dedication, expertise, and calm presence. She is an absolute gem!

Hey, I'm so glad you're here! My name is Heather and I live in beautiful Foresthill, CA. I love any and all hard seltzers, my Great Dane Fritz, and using my camera to capture all the feels. About my business? Well I'm basically a professional wedding crasher, so you know you will always have fun with me! Oh and I've pretty much cried at every wedding I've ever been to...and yours is no exception. Let's be friends!

Heather was wonderful to work with! We are the awkward type in front of a camera, but working with Heather made everything seem so stress-free during our wedding planning and photo sessions. Our engagement photo session was fun and care-free and we unbeknownst to all of us, she actually ended up taking beautiful photos of our beautiful rabbit, Trixie before she passed on the following month. Something that we truly appreciated and will never forget. For our wedding, Heather was very detailed and gave us a run down of what to expect for the photos. Nothing was hidden and she was up front about it all and asked if we wanted to add anything as well. Although Mother Nature had other plans for the day, we were still able to get the majority of our photos done. She even snuck in polaroid photos that were just too adorable - And I have no idea when she even took them! We received our wedding photos back and everyone absolutely loves them. I just love her style. While there are some photographers who do a large amount of filter/presets (no shade to those who do), there's just something about Heather's style of being able to keep it clean and natural that I just love! With Mother Nature having other plans with making it a misty ceremony and a downpour reception, we did miss out on doing a handful of photos of cocktail hour. Because of that, Heather was quick to offer us a bridal session to take some additional photos to complete our wedding. Instead of returning to the venue, we actually decided to relocate to Fort Bragg and take photos at the Mendocino Garden. The photos turned out absolutely gorgeous with the oceanic background and the dahlias that she chose to work with. She made everything seem so light-hearted and there was so much laughter with each session. Thank you Heather for everything you did throughout our wedding planning and so much more. You've captured so many wonderful moments and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

With a sociological background + training in event design + planning, & her detail-oriented eye; Stephanie approaches each Wedding as an opportunity to connect to each client's innermost desires, while fostering memorable relationships. Just as each individual has a unique fingerprint, molded by inherent characteristics and shaped by experiences; Stephanie strives to identify that unique vision that each couple has, to then craft an event that resonates :)

A Truly Exceptional Wedding Planner! From the very beginning, working with Stephanie felt like having a close friend by our side throughout the entire wedding planning journey. Her personal touch, genuine care, and unwavering support made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and exciting. Communication was consistently excellent — whether it was through calls, texts, or emails, we were always in the loop and never felt out of touch. We especially appreciated how available Stephanie was, joining us for in-person meetings (even going out of her way to meet with us in person in the Bay Area) and going above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of. It was clear that she was fully invested in making sure we felt supported every step of the way. One of the things we loved most was how Stephanie broke down the planning process into manageable chunks. Every question we had, no matter how big or small, was answered with patience and clarity. She did everything she could to help us not get overwhelmed and that we understood each decision we were making. Even though wedding planning can get overwhelming at times, she was there to help us navigate our thoughts and settle our minds. Our priorities and vision were always top of mind for Stephanie, and we truly felt that our needs were her first concern. She also introduced us to a few incredible vendors we never would have thought of ourselves, each of whom played a crucial role in making our day perfect. On top of all the logistical planning, Stephanie was instrumental in helping us navigate some tricky family dynamics (hello, VIP list!) with tact and grace, taking so much stress off our shoulders leading up to and even on the day of the wedding. Thanks to Stephanie, our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. Her hard work, attention to detail, and unwavering dedication made all the difference. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better partner in this process and will forever be grateful for everything she did for us. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who feels like a friend, goes above and beyond, and makes the entire experience stress-free, Stephanie is your planner— she is a true gem!

I’ve had a camera in my hand since I can remember. On family vacations each of us had a camera and would come back with several rolls of film. It was great to see different perspectives of the same place. My photos became more refined throughout my childhood as I graduated to my stepdad’s Minolta film SLR. In college I dedicated myself to photography professionally with a degree in photojournalism, then found my calling with a wedding studio at 19.

The Winchester Estate by Wedgewood Weddings was an absolute dream come true! From the moment we stepped onto the property, we knew it was the perfect place for our fairytale wedding. The ivy-covered walls, romantic ambiance, and stunning grounds made us feel like we were living inside a storybook. Every detail was beyond what we imagined. Taylor, our coordinator, was incredible from the very start. She kept in constant contact, answered every question, and somehow managed to think of things we didn’t even know we needed. She made us feel so heard and cared for every step of the way, and she even ensured that allergies and personal preferences were handled thoughtfully and seamlessly. When Ben took over on the day of the wedding, everything flowed effortlessly. He kept the timeline running smoothly while making sure we could just enjoy the moment. And then there was Drew — our amazing DJ — who truly brought the party to life. He made our music feel personal, got everyone dancing, and even joined in on the fun himself! He somehow managed to keep the little ones entertained (and contained!) when their lightsaber battle got a bit too enthusiastic — a true hero of the night! The entire staff went above and beyond, dancing along with us, smiling, and adding to the energy of the celebration. It never felt like they were just working an event — they were part of it. Their joy matched ours, and that made the night even more unforgettable. Our wedding at Winchester Estate was everything we dreamed of and more. It was magical, effortless, and filled with love and laughter. We’ll cherish it forever!

Lake Full of Pictures 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves El Dorado, CA

We are Theodore Kushner and Brittany Keyes, an award-winning cinematography and photography team based in the Tahoe region. With an extraordinary passion for storytelling and decades of experience in Hollywood and television, we bring unparalleled expertise to commercials, TV projects, and music videos.

We booked Teddy months in advance for our wedding day on April 26, 2025. We wanted a cinematic style to capture our day but we also weren’t familiar with the poses nor how to work with a photographer for a full 11 hours. Teddy made it super easy and great to work with him and ask him what we were hoping to get captured on our wedding day. He was communicative, on time, and open to going with the flow as changes came up with our itinerary due to unexpected rain. We got married at our church, took pictures at a nearby garden, and then we traveled 30 minutes to the reception. We definitely recommend him and hope others can have the great experience we had with him!

We knew that we wanted to get married at David Girard Vineyards as soon as we toured the property. It is truly magical and breathtaking place, and Justin Sawyer (on-site wedding management team) was so professional and helpful. The venue was very flexible in allowing us access as we needed for rehearsal and on the day-of (bridal suite, etc.). I would absolutely recommend this venue to other couples. We had the most stunning and memorable wedding day here - I would not change a single thing! Thank you Justin & DGV!

Awarded Best of Zola
These ladies absolutely crushed bartending our wedding and our guests were raving about how good the drinks were all night long! I am pregnant so couldn't even drink the alcoholic options but they made a delicious "mocktail" option as the signature and went so far to bring me a NA bottle of wine to drink as well. Super thoughtful, incredible bartenders, ingredients were fresh and their mixers that they recommended for our signature drinks were unmatched. I wish I could buy the mixers at the store to enjoy these cocktails (mocktails) more often! Better than most cocktail bars I've been to (and we live in SF). Don't hesitate - book them now!!

  • Serves El Dorado, CA

Hi, I’m Maddie, a Northern California makeup artist specializing in timeless, natural glam for brides who want to look and feel like themselves on their wedding day — just a little more elevated ✨ My goal is to bring that vibe while creating a look that lasts all day (and night!) and photographs beautifully. Every bride has her own version of “glam,” and I love bringing that vision to life in a way that feels effortless and true to you. Whether it’s your big day or a special event, I’m here to help you feel confident, radiant, and ready for every unforgettable moment. 🤍

Maddie worked with me leading up to my wedding and helped me find my lash extension style as well as makeup trial. I don’t have a lot of experience with makeup so I showed her pictures I liked on other people and she recreated the looks so well! On my wedding day, she showed up on time, did multiple of my bridesmaids makeup, brought all the good vibes, and did my makeup flawlessly. She listened to the feedback I had after my trial to create my ideal bridal makeup and I couldn’t be happier with the finished look. If you’re thinking about booking Maddie for your professional makeup, then this is your sign! She made the getting ready process easy and stress free. Thank you Maddie!
