Awarded Best of Zola
Florals For You (Sarah) was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was impeccable - Sarah was always quick to respond to our questions and kept us informed every step of the way. The quality of their work was truly a 10/10. Not only did Sarah execute exactly what she promised, but she was also incredibly easy to work with and incredibly flexible, all while providing great value for the price. Sarah truly felt like a vendor who deeply cared about making our special day perfect. Her attention to detail, talent, and kindness were unmatched, and I would have happily paid an additional 1,000 for her services based on my experience. I cannot recommend Florals For You highly enough.

Payton Ophelia Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
Turlock, CA
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $700

Photography has always been more than just photos to me. It’s freezing the little moments that end up meaning the most years later getting to tell people stories is something I’ll never take for granted. Behind every session is a girl who still gets excited every single time someone trusts her to capture their memories and honestly that feeling never gets old.

When our day-of coordinator got sick just before the wedding, Payton stepped in without hesitation and ran the entire event while still capturing every single shot we wanted. Her communication leading up to the big day was clear and precise, which gave us total peace of mind during the planning process. Payton's experience and skill really showed through in how she handled everything, and her work is truly exceptional. Beyond her talent behind the camera, she was such a wonderful person to have around—so bubbly and fun that she made everyone feel at ease. We cannot recommend Payton Ophelia Photography highly enough to any couple looking for a photographer who genuinely cares about making your day special.

My goal is to make this choice a simple, informed and fun part of the wedding process. I’m here to communicate and plan pre-wedding so you and your guests can leave it all on the dancefloor the day of the wedding.

Wow, what can't I say about Mark and his incredible abilities! From the get go, Mark was so incredibly easy to work with and figure out every piece of logistics. We had spent many hours interviewing DJs and trying to find the match, and it was such an easy choice the moment we started talking with Mark. I did some live music during our reception our and Mark was so gracious enough to let me use some of his equipment and helped me making it all come together for a rocking, good time. Mark goes above and beyond his expected duties as a DJ. He pays attention to the crowd's energy, he is attentive throughout, he has intentionality that is felt in each interaction. We are so blessed to have worked with, Mark. If you are still reading this, then you need to just seal the deal with him because obviously he's the right one for the job.

HI, I’M HILLARIE HUGHES . I am a lifestyle/wedding photographer based out of Merced, CA. I’m 33 years old, a wife and a mother to four beautiful kids. It's safe to say that I'm a VERY busy mama! You can catch me with my kindle when I’m not editing, and being as active as I can be in my children's lives. Never in a million years did I think that people would love my photos as much as they do, but I am so grateful and so blessed! I am learning more and more every session that I have, and have been incredibly lucky to have such awesome clients (turned into forever friends!) that have been with me during this entire journey.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hillarie Hughes Photography is everything you need in an event photographer. She was the photographer at our wedding, and I could not imagine the day with anyone else. I was an event coordinator for a few years, and have worked in the wedding planning industry. Hillarie is one of the most professional and positive photographers in the field that I have ever worked with. She is affordable, communicative, and works hard to provide the best work possible for her clients. What most people don’t realize is that photographers play a key role in managing your day, keeping you on schedule, and also managing other people to help them stay on schedule as well. Hillarie does all of that with a personable and uplifting attitude in a time when stress can be really high. She manages people well, and comes to your event with a high level of knowledge in weddings and photography. She caters to what you want, and will deliver photographs that will take your breath away (even sneak peeks too!). She is knowledgeable of surrounding locations for other photo sessions, and makes you feel like you’re her friend from the start. She provides an all-around positive experience, and captures such beautiful memories that last a lifetime. I cannot recommend her more. You will not be disappointed.

Furthermore, he emphasizes the importance of clear communication between himself and his clients. DJ Sam Vada utilizes high-quality equipment that is well-suited to fulfill the demands of any event.

Sam DJ’d my wedding and I just have to say he was the best DJ I have ever seen at a wedding! This could be biased as he was my DJ but he knew exactly what to do and was very patient with me as I was being pulled left and right. Even when my cousin had too much to drink and was about to make an inappropriate speech he even knew to cut her off. Which gets 5/5 from me! He also was very communicative up to the wedding as well! I planned my wedding all myself so it was very nice having Sam right there helping me though by explaining how things go! My only regret was not having enough time at my wedding to hear his awesome mixes! I don’t plan on getting married again but I would 10/10 hire again!

Karen was absolutely amazing! She has such a calming energy, and that was very needed in my big day. We also had an assisting makeup/hairstylist, Maria, who was so kind! Everyone who had makeup and hair done looked fantastic and loved how they looked. I also want to note that I got my makeup done at like 10am and my reception ended at 10:30pm and my makeup didn’t move. I only had to touch it up once when I was cried and it was very minor. Ladies, I HIGHLY recommend booking!

The Tipsy Hellcat was born from my love of creating experiences that feel fun, personal, and totally on-vibe. I’m a mobile dry-hire bartender who specializes in crafting custom menus, thoughtful details, and bar setups that match your wedding’s unique style — whether you’re planning something elegant, alternative, whimsical, or bold.

I highly recommend Danie for Yosemite elopements/weddings. She was truly one of the best decisions we made for our day. From the very beginning she was attentive, communicative, and always kept me updated on everything. She really listened to what I wanted and somehow brought my vision to life exactly the way I imagined it. What honestly impressed me the most is that she managed to make everything look absolutely perfect despite all the weather chaos we had — rain, freezing cold, and even snow. Somehow she handled every single unexpected situation so calmly and professionally and made our day feel effortless and magical. She was genuinely my saving grace during our dream elopement, and I cannot recommend her enough

5 Daughters Design says it all. We’re a family—a mom and dad and our five adult daughters—creating thoughtful, garden-inspired wedding flowers throughout Northern California and the Phoenix, Arizona area. We believe flowers are only part of the story. The most meaningful celebrations leave people feeling welcomed, connected, and cared for. Through trusted guidance and thoughtful collaboration, we make the floral planning process feel relaxed, joyful, and beautifully personal

Lynda was an absolute dream to work with, and I truly cannot recommend 5 Daughters Design enough. From our very first conversation, Lynda was incredibly thoughtful, creative, and genuinely invested in bringing my wedding vision to life. Lynda designed all of our wedding florals and signage, and she was exceptionally hands-on throughout the entire planning process. We met several times over video call, where she took the time to walk through every detail imaginable, and even created mock-ups to help me visualize the overall look. She listened carefully to my design ideas, offered thoughtful recommendations, and made me feel completely confident that every element would come together beautifully for our wedding. One of the things that meant the most to me was Lynda’s willingness to incorporate sentimental flowers that was special to me and my family. That personal touch made the experience feel so much more meaningful. When I saw everything come together on our wedding day, I was absolutely blown away. The floral arrangements were stunning, the signage was beautifully designed, and every detail exceeded my expectations. Everything felt cohesive, elegant, and perfectly reflected the romantic, whimsical atmosphere we had envisioned. The flowers truly transformed our venue and played such a significant role in making our wedding day feel magical. Beyond her incredible talent, Lynda is kind, patient, responsive, and truly passionate about what she does. If you're looking for someone who will treat your wedding with the same care and attention as if it were her own, I wholeheartedly recommend 5 Daughters Design. I will forever be grateful for the beauty Lynda created and the unforgettable memories she helped make possible on our special day. Thank you, 5 Daughters Design!

Our experience with B&C Music for our wedding was overall perfect. They were easy to communicate with and they did an incredible job, setting the perfect vibe for our wedding. After asking us our song choices for the processional and if there were any other special songs they could learn for us, B&C were completely self-sufficient, which was a huge help for us during the planning process. They arrived early to set up, started playing as guests arrived, and provided beautiful music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. We booked them based on their Soundcloud samples, and they exceeded our expectations on the day. Our guests had so many nice things to say about their performance. My husband and I are so glad we found them, as B&C truly contributed to making our special day so memorable.

We had a super colorful wedding (groom wore a floral blue suit) and she was just as excited about our plans as we were. She was also open to feedback on editing style (I really wanted high contrast), but honestly both our engagement photos and wedding photos were/ are everything. She worked great with our dog, captured our individual personalitlies and worked great with the group.

We set several appointments throughout this time frame and Renee worked with us to keep these appointments running smoothly, worked well with staff and other vendors to make sure our day was special as could be. Renee responded to my emails promptly and helped me plan the reception program, floor plan of the ballroom, answered my 101 questions and so much more. Renee and the University Plaza Waterfront Hotel staff had our best interest in consideration from pricing, to decorating, to our guests, and all the things in between. I truly enjoyed that there were plenty of rooms for my big guest list from so many different countries and states. Everybody had enough space to enjoy themselves, the kids played all around in the courtyard, safety was good, and the sunset was just great. The Univeristy Plaza Waterfront felt like our home. We are so thrilled and pleased that we chose to have our wedding at this venue, because although it was hectic(as any wedding would be) at times it was an absolute blast!

Character-driven DJ with 15+ years of experience. I honor families, lead with integrity and faith, keep the spotlight on the couple, and curate music that respects all ages and highlights love. I’m known for a calm, organized planning process that helps celebrations flow smoothly.

As an event coordinator, I truly value vendors who are punctual, organized, and easy to work with — and this DJ exceeded expectations. He arrived on time, was well prepared, and kept the event running smoothly without anyone feeling rushed or stressed. The music was clean, family-friendly, and perfectly suited for the crowd. His professionalism and attention to timing made a huge difference in keeping the event on schedule and enjoyable for everyone. I would absolutely recommend him for any event needing a reliable and professional DJ.
