Joel was a pleasure to work with for our couples wedding day. His communication style was effective, polite, and respectful throughout the day. The quality of his work is amazing - he is talented and intentional. He helped make their special day run smoothly and he was so helpful every step of the way. This was my first time meeting and working with Joel, and he was incredibly down-to-earth, easy to work with, and friendly. I really appreciated how helpful & flexible he was as well.

Where do I begin?!! The Portofino Hotel & Marina was INCREDIBLE!!!!!! From day one all the way to today, a few days after the wedding, all the staff we encountered has been excellent!! Specifically I want to give a shout out to Sierra, Rain, Luis, Paco, & Mac. Sierra was my main hotel wedding coordinator and contact. She was so responsive, attentive, organized, sweet, available, and amazing!! I couldn’t be happier with her and her services. The entire experience was seamless. We planned an entire wedding in under 2 months together as I was eager to marry my man this year. She was so helpful and explained any and all things when I had questions. Starting with booking the venue all the way to the day after the wedding. Everything was so organized, including the deadlines of decisions I needed to make, and payment info, and what to do if it rained. She had everything covered. THANK YOU THANK YOU SIERRA!! Rain was also another venue coordinator & catering sales manager who helped us too and he was amazing as well. He stepped in when/if Sierra was out of the office and he attended our tasting and answered so many questions as well. He was so nice, sweet and great to work with. Very organized and never missed a beat! Thank you Rain!! Luis, the director of Banquets, handled anything food and drink related and everything was perfect. He even placed two of each hors d’oeuvres at our sweetheart table (knowing we probably wouldn’t get a chance to eat them during cocktail hour as we were busy mingling) and he was right!! It was such a sweet, simple gesture that made a big impression on us. Paco was one of the Bartenders from the day of (I never got a chance to meet our other bartender) and he was so fun and cheerful and positive and an overall great spirit. Guests kept telling me how much they loved Paco and me too! Mac worked on the hotel side and we met him when we checked in and he handled ALL our luggage and he also golf carted me around on the actual wedding day so I didn’t have to walk too much. He was super sweet and was so helpful and had a great vibe! Also, my initial point of contact was Melanie who responded to my initial venue request. She was so great and helpful and responsive that right away we were sold and we booked the venue the next day without ever even seeing it in person. On top of all the AMAZING staff, the venue is just absolutely beautiful!! You can’t find a prettier ocean front venue in the So Cal. Just gorgeous. We chose a type of all-inclusive wedding package that included a sit down 3-course dinner, open bar, ceremony, hotel room, wedding cake, and many more perks such as white linen, candles on each table, arch on the ceremony grass, champagne toast, etc. It was perfect, efficient, organized and made my life so easy. I really didn’t have to do much except invite guests and show up!! many of my guests told me afterward they were so impressed with the staff, venue and the food!!! Seriously, the food was excellent. I know all of this sounds too good to be true but honestly it was. I had zero problems, no horror stories, nothing. It truly was a PERFECT day and overall experience. I also found out afterward that a coworker of mine got married here too this past summer and she said the same thing. Her day was perfect as well and I am not surprised at all. Thank you to everyone at the Portofino! We cant wait to come back just to enjoy the restaurant, the views and the excellent service :)

Flowers By Laurel

Redondo Beach, CA
  • Florist

My passion for flowers stems back to my childhood, brought me to London, and has continued to follow me to Los Angeles for the past 30 years. I'm one of the lucky few who wakes up every morning and simply love what I do. ​ ​

Flowers by Laurel is the best! Both Isabelle and Lovorka were so helpful, open to all our questions, and flexible. They were both so enthusiastic about creating the wedding florals of our dreams and followed the color scheme we wanted. I didn't know anything about flowers or what the names are, but they took care of it all. From the beautiful arch, to the centerpieces, and even the little details on our cake. Flowers by Laurel knew exactly what we wanted and went beyond! The whole day was so breathtaking and the flowers were so special. Thank you so much for everything!

Redondo Beach, CA

  • Starts at $1,760

Hey! We are Margaret Mentaberry and Chris Blanchard - creative partners who met in 2020 and bonded over a love of hosting, great cocktails, and good vibes. Santé Social was born when we saw a gap in the market for elevated, mobile bar experiences while building the catering side of our restaurant, Chicas Tacos. We wanted to bring expertly crafted drinks, a touch of elegance, and a whole lot of fun to events- without the waste or the fuss. Together with our team, we have hosted events with top brands including Soho House, HBO, Amazon, Sony, WME, The Emmy’s & more- we'd love to bring that same energy to your next party.

We experienced SANTÉ at our friends’ end of summer party this past weekend and were seriously impressed. The bar cart was not only beautiful and well-designed, but it also added a level of style and intention to the event you don’t usually see with typical bar setups. They had beer on tap, the whole presentation felt elevated without being over the top. The staff was incredibly friendly, professional, and so accommodating. It was clear they cared about both the service and the overall guest experience. Such a smart, fun, and elegant way to upgrade any gathering. We’re already talking about booking them for my company holiday party!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Aurelie with Nuptia France was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our destination wedding. We live in Los Angeles and had our hearts set on getting married in Paris, so finding a Paris-based planner we could trust from across the world felt daunting, until we found her. From day one, she was excited to work with us, incredibly responsive, and stayed on top of every detail so we never had to worry. A perfect example: when Shangri-La sent their proposal, she immediately forwarded it with clear questions about dates and room preferences. Her communication was prompt, warm, detailed, and always felt personal, exactly what two busy Angelenos planning a wedding in France needed. She anticipated every question, handled every vendor flawlessly, and made the entire long-distance process feel effortless and joyful. We are so grateful for everything she gave us, our Paris wedding was pure magic, and that wouldn’t have happened without her expertise and care. If you’re planning a destination wedding in Paris (especially from afar), hire her immediately. You will not find anyone more professional, responsive, or truly dedicated. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! – Lacee & Diego, Los Angeles X Paris, married 2025

Hi there, I'm Kaylyn. After almost 12 years working as a florist, I can honestly say, I'm still not over them. This career has been the happiest accident of my life and I can't imagine a life without flowers. What started out as hobby became my dream career. It has taken me all over the world, introduced me to new people and to new cultures, challenged me, and has given me the opportunity to be a fly on the wall to the most beautiful celebrations of love. It has been a joy.

I absolutely adore Kaylyn and True Vine. Not only was Kaylyn amazing to work with, but her floral work is absolutely breathtaking. She went above and beyond for our big day, completely blowing away our expectations and doing whatever she needed to make the floral experience stress free! I cannot recommend her enough!

I loved working with Robin at the Sonesta Hotel. She was an excellent event manager who cared for all our needs and was very accommodating. I had one problem that had nothing to do with Robin or the Sonesta: Someone on the wedding coordinator's staff stole my wallet during the event. We hired Koral, the wedding coordinator, which was our responsibility. Overall, it was a beautiful venue with excellent hotel staff. I would recommend the Sonesta 100%.

Critic’s Choice Catering & Event Production, Inc. 

5.0

Redondo Beach, CA
  • Caterer

Founded by individuals passionate for creating a deliciously, interactive party environment. We are Critic’s Choice, a family owned and operated full service catering and event production company based in Redondo Beach, CA. We began our culinary journey in 1984 and have remained true to our core values since the very start. We believe in honest, fair pricing and locally sourced, custom menus made from scratch, with love daily. We invite you to taste the magic and help us celebrate decades of client satisfaction, successful event production and outstanding cuisine.

Summary If you are planning a wedding and unsure of where to start. Start here. Start with Kaycie and her team. Put your trust in her, her vision, and the team she has. They are amazing, professional, pay attention to all the details (large and small), fun, and will be there every step of the way to ensure everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING, will go off without a hitch. The Planning From the time I reached out to Kaycie via Zola, she was responsive, available, flexible, and most importantly, she took the TIME to discuss things with me and answer all of my questions (and I had A LOT). She truly LIFTED a weight off my shoulders and helped me plan the best day while living 3,000 miles away. Yes, that is right, I planned a wedding for ~200 people from 3,000 miles away in Boston, MA with her help, and you would never have guessed it because it was flawless. There were no glitches and she was even able to help us get some last minutes items to help make the day even more memorable like glass champagne flutes and helping to collect our gift box during the night. The Food In addition to all of the above, the food was AMAZING. We enjoy cooking and were a bit nervous with a catering company, but the chicken and fish were moist, the meat tender, the veggies were roasted so well, the rolls, the appetizers and the late-night snacks (completely Kaycie's idea that I almost did not do and they ended up being a real hit and needed!!), were ALL SO INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS!! Final Notes I cannot thank her and her team enough for making a difficult task and a long day feel effortless and so much more than the day I could have ever hoped for. I was not sure what to expect when we arrived, but she even met us a few days before the first time we met in person to do a final walk-through that helped us envision the day and she DELIVERED and then some! Do not doubt that you won't need the help, you will. Do not wait until you have already pulled your hair out, because you'll get there. If you read nothing else, read this: YOU CANNOT GO WRONG WITH CRITICS CHOICE. CHOOSE KAYCIE AND HER TEAM!! P.S. I am planning to add some photos soon!

The venue also came with our cake from Torrance bakery which was extremely delicious. The food: The food choices are amazing. Vida sat down with us and helped us cherry pick the meals we wanted to serve. The plates courses were too good to be true and the food was of the best quality and flavor. Highly recommend. The Coordinator: Vida was simply phenomenal at what she did. She made great recommendations and the day of made sure things were executed to my wife and I’s liking.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Seth from Vital Event Group for our September wedding, and he exceeded every expectation! From the start, Seth’s professionalism and easy-going nature made the planning process stress-free. His use of the Vibo app was such a game-changer—it allowed us to easily upload our song selections and ceremony/reception timeline details, making communication and organization effortless. We gave Seth just a handful of songs to set the vibe, and he curated an incredible playlist that perfectly matched the energy we wanted. What impressed us most was how attentive he was to the dance floor—when guests weren’t feeling a particular track, Seth quickly pivoted and got everyone back on their feet. By the end of the night, the energy was sky-high, and our friends and family couldn’t stop raving about how much fun they had! On top of all that, Seth’s DJ booth setup was sleek and clean, and we loved being able to display our photos and videos on his screen—it added such a personal and unique touch to the night. We can’t recommend Seth and Vital Event Group enough. If you’re looking for a DJ who’s professional, adaptable, and truly knows how to keep the party alive, Seth is the one! Thanks Seth!!

  • Photographer

  • Serves Redondo Beach, 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
We’ve been lucky to know and work with Randall for a few years. When we finally decided to make things “official” we knew we wanted someone that does great work, that we trust, and would make us feel comfortable. We wanted our day to feel like a relaxed family event and Randall helped with that and so much more. He suggested possible locations that would meet our dream event and times to maximize the best lighting for the area. Once we settled on the location and date, he maintained excellent communication in preparation to the event to properly flesh out the day’s timetable, day of logistics, and post. On the day of our wedding he expertly directed us and our families, using the natural lighting to capture the perfect shots. We would have been lost without him, especially since no one knew how to assist with bustling my dress. During our dinner reception he seamlessly directed restaurant staff to assist in transitioning between meals/dessert/toast for more amazing shots. After the wedding he kept us updated on next steps for our pictures. Randall is truly a gem and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone special to capture their day.

Can't say enough about the quality of James's work, his attention to detail, his professionalism, and curating the best dance party experience at our wedding!! From start to finish he was extremely prepared and provided us with all the materials needed to organize the music and run of show. As both DJ and MC, James truly went the extra mile to make our day run seamlessly, and made us feel so special. He was even accommodating to our last minute music requests and was very patient with us. In addition to being extremely professional, prepared, and organized, he is such a down-to-earth and kind, genuine person. He even captured some videos of our first dance and grand entrance that we wouldn't have had otherwise because we didn't have a videographer. This was so thoughtful and truly above and beyond! We personally added on the photo booth option and are glad we did, as it was a hit. His rates were very reasonable as well especially for the package we got. Everyone raved about James and the music. He made our wedding day exactly the party we hoped for - the most fun we've ever had! Highly recommend James & All The Above Events for your next wedding or big event.

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!!

Can’t overstate what an incredible experience we had with the Oviatt. Not only was the venue perfect for wedding, but the staff truly made the entire planning and day-of experience so smooth and welcoming. The space is gorgeous and one-of-a-kind - we didn’t have to decorate at all, there were so many little spaces and pockets guests to explore and mingle in, all the original art deco decor and furnishings were so cool. We didn’t have to add anything (but could have brought in outside rentals and vendors if we wanted) - the venue rental includes seating for the ceremony and reception, the rooftop lounge was fully furnished was lounge furniture, the terrace is already decorated with bistro lighting, twinkle lights and ivy walls, and there is lounge seating throughout the indoor space. Also included were cocktail tables, easels for signage, tables for our buffet set up. All of these things at other venues we looked at were either additional costs or we’d have to bring in additional vendors to supply. What really made the experience though was the Oviatt staff - Lindsey and Gabe are both so friendly, approachable, welcoming and supportive. Other venues we looked at were all business, had a “take it or leave it” vibe and kind of made us feel like we should be grateful for even to be given the chance to have an event there; Lindsey and Gabe were the exact opposite - they weren’t just trying to rent out a space, they were helping us host our wedding and doing everything they could to make sure our plans were realized. They provided us with so much information beyond what was required of them - they had a whole packet with a suggested timeline for planning, a Planning Pod tool that enabled us to track our vendors and plan out our floorplans and seating charts, lists of vendors we needed to consider and decisions we needed to make. Gabe had an actual meeting with us to discuss what we were looking for in a venue and our wedding, and have is all of this information we even booked the space. Lindsey followed up with us periodically in the months leading up to the wedding to remind us of what we needed to be taking care of and making sure we were on track. Both of them were always generous with their time answering our many questions and being flexible in accommodating our requests. We felt so supported and cared for throughout the entire process, and felt more like we had friends in our corner than like we were coordinating with a vendor. Truly cannot say enough about how wonderful this team is and how appreciative we are. We looked at practically every venue in the downtown/northeast LA area, and this one not only blew away the competition in what they offered, but it was also the most affordable option! It’s really like having the efficiency of an all-inclusive venue without the restrictions. And of course all of our guests loved it - we are still getting comments on how unique and beautiful the space was, and how much everyone enjoyed having so many different spaces to explore and congregate throughout the evening. Best decision we could have made.

We booked Ingrid and her team for the Final Month Planning / Day-Of Coordination for our wedding. Thank goodness we did! The process of working with Grand Entrance Affairs was excellent, at a reasonable price point, and it resulted in an absolutely perfect day. :) From the time Ingrid started working with us, she took a load off of our shoulders and we felt well taken care of. We are the type who like to be in control and plan everything ourselves, but we're so grateful that Ingrid brought her years of experience to ask us all the right questions and help us plan out the day-of timeline because we would have definitely gotten it wrong on our own. If there were any obstacles or things that went wrong on the wedding day, we were completely oblivious to it because her team handled it all without worrying us. They gave us just the right amount of attention to make us feel well taken care of while letting us enjoy each other's company and the company of our guests. We got MANY compliments from our guests about how professional and helpful the Grand Entrance Affairs team was. We heard their team was kind, respectful, quick, and professional. While they were never in the way, their team was somehow always there when needed. Their attention to detail, ability to work with so many vendors' personalities and communication styles, "I Can" attitude, and listening to us and working with us to bring our dream into fruition -- all of it was amazing. We had many unconventional ideas, and Ingrid was game for all of them. In the end, Ingrid and her team's tireless work resulted in a flawless wedding. We couldn't have imagined a better experience. Don't hesitate to book Grand Entrance Affairs for your wedding!
