We planned our LA wedding from the Bay Area, so we did extensive research online on photographers in the LA area. Palos Studio was our first choice, and we were thrilled when we found out they were available. Louis & Erin are both extremely personable & professional - which made working with them a pleasure. Neither my husband nor I like to be in front of the camera, but they made us totally forget about our self-consciousness. Our engagement photos & wedding photos came out great! Louis & Erin are pretty much everything we were looking for in wedding photographers - friendly, professional, and very talented.

Chailling was truly a great find! She did the makeup for me, 4 bridesmaids, and my mother. Not only is she super sweet, but she's extremely talented and professional. Prior to the trial, Chailling asked a lot of great questions about what I wanted and to provide photos of myself so that she could prepare beforehand. I really really appreciate vendors who are mindful of their client's time. When I arrived at her place for the trial, she was ready to go.

On the day of the wedding, she arrived exactly on time (8am, I believe). She alloted the perfect amount of time for all 6 of us and finished early enough to do do touch-ups. Needless to say, the entire bridal party looked great.

Overall, I was really happy with the hair/makeup she provided. She's extremely responsive and very good at what she does. I'd highly recommend her for her hair/makeup services.

Terry at Inlight Lighting is super easy to work with. He was, by far, the most responsive vendor I worked with - always responding to my emails within an hour. I planned our wedding from the SF Bay Area and never met Terry or even spoke with him on the phone! I had a pretty good idea of what kind of lighting I wanted, and he was able to provide exactly what I wanted for a really good price.

Overall, Terry is responsive, honest, dependable, and really knows his stuff. I highly recommend Terry & Inlight Lighting if you're looking for lighting services.

We live in the SF Bay Area, but had our wedding in Southern CA. Therefore, nearly all of our wedding planning had to be done remotely - which can be pretty challenging since you're never sure what you're going to get. Thankfully, Damon was great. We were really looking for a DJ that could keep the wedding moving along, read a crowd well, and get people to dance. Damon did all 3 - and did them exceptionally well.

Since my now-husband and I had no idea what to do for processional and recessional music, Damon sent us two CDs of song options that we might like. We ended up selecting a recessional song from the CD he sent. He also helped in ensuring that the reception stayed on schedule and provided great dancing music which our guests loved.

We really had no interest in a slick, sales-y DJ who wanted to sell us an 'experience'. Damon always presented himself as professional, honest, and genuninely interested in doing a great job. We couldn't have asked for more.
