If you’re looking for a wedding that you will remember forever, I highly recommend booking with Carmel Fields by Wedgewood. The reception space was absolutely amazing—spacious, stylish, and perfect for a celebration. The staff made sure we felt comfortable and promptly addressed any issues or questions we had. My wife and I want to give a special shoutout to our main coordinator Alycia! She was truly amazing and it was a perfect day thanks to her. With her attention to detail and sharing our vision. We also want to thank Anahi and Angie and everyone who made our special day truly magical. They were incredibly friendly, well-coordinated, and organized. They ensured that everything ran smoothly, allowing us to enjoy the night without a single worry. This made the day feel stress-free for everyone and allowed us to relax and watch all our family and friends enjoy the wedding—whether it was on the dance floor or at the bar enjoying drinks! There are so many great things we could say about this place, but I’ll simply let the reviews speak for themselves! My wife and I had an excellent experience. The rooms, including the bridal suite and groom’s suite, were beautifully set up, the food was delicious, the bar had amazing drinks and their vendors made the planning process effortless. We truly appreciated how the coordinators and vendors made everything so easy and stress-free. We are so glad that we chose a Wedgewood location! It was such a wonderful day, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Love, David & Cristal 02.22.25

Dana is absolutely incredible with her craft! She was nothing but professional and fun from the initial contact! We decided to hire Dana for our wedding for her light, magical photo style and we decided to add an engagement session to our package. We were so impressed with our engagement session the first time we met that I then asked her to do a mini shoot for my 30th birthday! For all three occasions Dana provided beautiful, timeless, classic photos in a timely manner! She is so fun and makes you feel comfortable and at ease. Dana was also patient and kind--with COVID we had to postpone our wedding and plans changed, she was willing to work with us through it all and provide us peace of mind. Dana's personality shines through just as bright as her pictures! We have decided she is our "family" photographer for all special occasions! I highly recommend her!

I love working closely with you to create a day that reflects your unique vision, and I’m happy to tailor my packages to fit your budget and needs.

Dawn is an absolute pleasure to work with. Her communication style is prompt, anticipatory of needs, and fun throughout the entire planning process. Her work is thoughtful, professional, and decisive, ensuring that couple's special day is a complete success. My favorite Dawn story is when a celebrity couple lost their venue due to storms just days before their Wedding. Dawn snapped into action to find a new, comparable venue straight away. She then coordinated with all the vendors and staff to ensure that we were all on the same page and up to date with the most recent changes. It was surely a stressful time for the couple, but I'm so glad that Dawn was in charge to make sure that their worst fears were alleviated. The Wedding was a great success!

We worked with Mischa to co-create our wedding this September 2023. She understood our vision and supported us in making an unforgettable day. She respected our needs while adding her creative spark to help us vision what we wanted for this day. She not only provided tirelessness, competence, and finesse on the day (allowing us to take a step back and just enjoy and cherish our time with family and friends) but provided emotional and creative support in the months leading up to our day and in the debrief after. She is so skilled at what she does - all the caterers, photographers, and guests raved about her. There were moments at the event where it felt like she read our minds and made magic happen (coordinating with the band to serenade us, setting out dessert). It unexpectedly rained and she knew exactly how to 'make it work'! I highly recommend connecting with Mischa / Midnight Picnic to co-create your unforgettable day.

This October, I worked with Elope in Monterey to have a small wedding with my immediate family in attendance. I feel so unbelievably lucky that Catherine was my photographer! I showed up to my wedding without ever meeting Catherine, but her warmth and friendliness made me feel comfortable immediately. As someone who is pretty shy in front of the camera (same goes for my partner), I was surprised by how comfortable I felt in front of Catherine's lens. She really let us be ourselves and joyfully captured all the silliness that makes us who we are. I also really appreciated her helpful directions and tips for posing, which she always delivered kindly. Catherine really made us feel like she was so happy to be there and for me, that really made my experience so pleasant and memorable! Even though our package only included 60 minutes of photography, she never made us feel rushed and she really went the extra mile to get us a large variety of shots and made sure we had many photos in various configurations of our group! I've received our photos, and they are stunning! I cannot thank Catherine enough for capturing the joy of our special day!

Nothing compares to the feeling of making people feel beautiful and confident. Even after all this time, I have never lost my passion.

I have a visceral reaction every time I witness love and true connection. It’s the electric feeling you get when you’re part of something that’s happening in the present moment. Being able to document that truly brings me to life. I pair best with couples who seek a documentary style and give me their trust to capture their moments. Your wedding day is not a performance. It’s about you, your big love, real life, and your closest people. The quiet moments, the loud ones, and all the in between . I document just that, in a photojournalist meets editorial kind of way that tells the story of your unique love.

Onawa has been our family photographer for the past 4 years. Throughout the past years she’s captured lifetime memories such as special’s birthdays, our engagement, wedding and now maternity photos. She has an unwavering ability to encapsulate candid moments that take us back to that exact memory with each of her photos. We cannot wait to continue to work with her as our family grows.

Well, really it’s all about You. Five Star Catering was established in 1997, with the aspiration of offering our clients something more, by fulfilling your vision & then enhancing it! We wanted to offer inclusive packages which made planning an event easier and didn’t nickle and dime you by charging for every little bite and the fork that went with it! We're best known for, high-quality, made from scratch food, gracious service from a well trained, professional, experienced team, culinary artistry in delectable foods & presentation and local, fresh, sustainable ingredients.

The Five Star team is truly amazing! Not only do they make insanely delicious food, they seamlessly coordinated all our rentals and made everything so much easier for us!! I was told by multiple people that it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding, and I would definitely agree! Caitlin and Laura were so amazing to work with, very professional (they thought of everything!!) and they made sure our day ran so smoothly. I couldn’t think of a single complaint! Highly highly recommend them to cater your event!

Welcome. You believe your love makes life worth living, and that's worth celebrating again and again. I do too. I am passionate about creating an experience that goes far beyond your wedding day. Your film is one of the most visual ways to relive your wedding. It is the gatekeeper of memories, the holder of moments. The gift to yourselves (and your descendants) to treasure your love story forever.
