Artistic Laser Productions

Valley Center, CA
  • Event extras
  • Lighting/AV
  • Starts at $1,750

A Marriage of Engineering & Art. You could say that laser light is in Marc and Paula Steger's blood. Marc's father was an electrical design engineer.....his mother was an actress, poet, and artist. Paula's father was a civil engineer....her mother was an artist. Laser show production allows them to use both sides of their inborn skill sets. They entered the laser show industry in 1999 and are extremely passionate about their craft. They work carefully with each client to produce a laser light show that enhances their event production with special event lighting and elevates it to one everyone will remember for years to come.

Artistic Laser Productions is absolutely top-tier. From start to finish, their team is professional, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. The quality of their laser and production work is outstanding—clean, precise, and visually impressive. They clearly know their craft and take pride in delivering a polished final product while staying on schedule and accommodating event needs. Communication was seamless throughout the process, and their attention to detail really sets them apart from other production companies. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality laser or event production partner, I highly recommend Artistic Laser Productions. We look forward to working with them again.

Awarded Best of Zola
One of the most important things for us was having a wedding reception where the dance floor was full and people were having a great time all night long. We were worried about finding a DJ who could pull that off, but DJ Sammy was the definition of perfection. Our pre-call with him was amazing, and we could tell he understood the vibe we were going for. We felt confident going into the night, but even our highest expectations were blown away with the way he ensured that everyone had a great time. I picked up on a few tricks of the trade he does that I’ve never seen another DJ do before, and they made a huge difference compared to other weddings I’ve been to. He even took the time to do a special cut in one of the songs we requested, which blew me away with his attention to detail. Although I’m limited to 5 stars in this review, I would literally give him every single star in every single solar system in the sky for how happy we were with his DJing services. Hire him, and rest assured that your evening will be perfect.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our first conversation with The LoveTap, we knew we had found our DJ. Conner was so easy to work with during planning. He not only listened to our ideas but he actually helped us make them better. When we weren't sure about our grand entrance and had asked his thoughts, he knew exactly what to do. He also helped with our father/daughter dance and made the song the perfect length. One thing that stood out was when I recorded a tribute to my mom instead of doing a speech, and Conner mixed it into a song that played perfectly during the ceremony. He didn't stop there either. During the reception, he surprised us by weaving part of my sister's MOH speech into Promiscuous Girl, and honestly, it was one of the coolest moments of the night. Our guests couldn't stop talking about it. The dance floor stayed packed the entire time, with people telling us afterward that they literally never left it. Hiring Conner was such a great decision, and we'd recommend The LoveTap to any couple looking for a DJ who actually cares about making your day special and helping you throw the best party ever.

My husband and I recently got married at Green Gables in San Marcos and we placed our trust in Claudia to be our florist. If you’re still looking for a florist for a wedding, you can stop now because Claudia and her teammade our special day so beautiful! When I was looking for a florist, I was looking for someone who would make our vision come true and stay within our budget. A lot of the florists I spoke with were upfront with their pricing, but what stood out from Claudia is she let us know from the start if I wanted certain things, it would be above my budget and I appreciated that. From the beginning, Claudia stayed transparent with us with her prices and communicated with us throughout our planning process on what to expect to see on our wedding day. I really appreciate everything Claudia and her team did for us. Our wedding looked incredible and beautiful thanks to them! You won’t regret booking her as your florist!

We had the absolute best experience with Pixel Perfect Photo Booth Co. for my daughter’s quinceañera! From start to finish, everything was seamless, professional, and so much fun. The setup was beautiful and fit perfectly with our theme, and the quality of the photos was amazing—crisp, vibrant, and such a great keepsake for our guests. Before the event, Chris went above and beyond by customizing the photo template to perfectly match our save-the-dates and invitations, which made everything feel so cohesive and special. During the event, they kept our guests engaged and taking pictures all night long—it truly became one of the highlights of the celebration!

There are also great shots of things we didn't remember, like us canoodling in the venue's background. We felt like Katherine was part of our wedding party, not just a vendor. She was great at directing us for group photos, ensuring everyone was in the right spot without feeling rushed. She is funny and a total photography pro, and now we want her to take all of our images. By the end of the wedding, we had friends asking for her information and complimenting her left and right. She helped everyone stick to the timeline, adjust clothing, engage children, and remind everyone to laugh, breathe, and smile!

Four Seasons Flowers was very prompt in their responses. I was able to make an appointment with Carma to go over my wishes and photos I liked. When it came to my mock creation, we had three different centerpiece designs, Karen (the designer) was there to help tweak the flowers to look exactly how we wanted it to! The work was stunning. Our photographer was happy that we went with Four Seasons because he knew the flowers would look good and have water for the hot summer day. I guess some florist's flowers do not survive long enough for the photos, while ours were gorgeous the whole day. Their team set up and delivered my flowers smoothly all day. Not one point did I ever question if the flowers were going to be there on time. They were also very friendly. I highly recommend using them!

Champagne (maybe that’s why I love weddings) and sushi lover here! Photography has been my passion ever since my dad gave me my first film camera and introduced me to the dark room at age of 10. I lived in Japan for 12 years, and even performed on a stage there. I’m always up for a great road trip! I love tuna fishing. I love hats and want to wear them everyday (over 20 hats in my collection). I’ve been shooting beautiful weddings for almost 10 years. I secretly cry at every wedding.

Thanks for visiting Breezy Day, we are so happy you are here! We are a sister team in San Diego, committed to helping you make your engagement & wedding day a breeze! WE CANNOT WAIT TO GET TO KNOW YOU!

I used both the wedding coordination and floral services from Breezy Day and both services went above and beyond, making our wedding day perfect. Courtney was our wedding coordinator and she made the process so much easier. I was so stressed about the wedding planning process until I met Courtney, I wonder if we would have even had a wedding if I didn’t meet her to be honest! From the initial phone call, she explained the wedding planning process and reassured me that we could have a great wedding within our limited budget. She had a list of vendors she recommended which I picked all of my vendors from and it made the process of selecting vendors so much easier. Courtney was always able to help answer my questions throughout the whole year of planning and always responded in a timely manner. Then, on the day of the wedding, Courtney made the entire day so smooth and it went just as planned. I cannot recommend Courtney and the wedding day of coordinator services more. I don’t know what I would have done without her! The florals from Breezy Day Weddings were also incredible. They were more beautiful in person then I even expected. I chose the a la carte options from the Shoppe and the florals were so beautiful. Heather was great and very responsive when I asked questions about the process. The florals were seamlessly delivered to the venue on the day of the wedding and Courtney set the centerpieces on the table for me and placed the florals on the cake and it was so stunning. The service from both the day of coordination services and the florals were 10 out of 10! I cannot recommend them enough. They were affordable, professional, efficient, friendly, reassuring, and just amazing all around. If you’re getting married, you need to hire them for your wedding! Thank you again, Courtney and Heather!

Taylor, Monique, Britt and the whole Amari team could not have been more fantastic to work with!! Despite the craziness that is postponing and subsequently planning a "mini-mony" wedding during covid, they maintained the utmost professionalism. The team at Amari was understanding, considerate, and just an overall joy to work with. I am so thankful we chose them as our videographers! Speaking of, Taylor and Monique were so much more than videographers on our wedding day. We had ~20 people, no servers, wedding planner, dj, etc to help facilitate. They stepped in and stepped up! They were our coordinators, planners, and time keepers! It was definitely a surreal day for so many reasons, and they captured it BEAUTIFULLY!!! I can’t stop watching our highlight video and crying. Since the majority of our family and friends could not be there physically, we chose a same-day edit (such an awesome service they offer!) and sent it out via email the next day.. Every family member and friend that we sent it to did not stop raving about how perfect it was. If you are contemplating not having a videographer - think again! I am so so happy we did and that we chose Amari. I would recommend them 100000 times!

Lily went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was what we wanted and more. She was very attentive to our wants from the beginning and her expertise shined through her ability to hash out finer details that ensured the day would run smoothly. Our reception was seamless due to her coordinated preparation and planning. We were able to fully enjoy ourselves, our guests and our vendors without feeling worried. Lily and her assistant, Wen, gracefully blended into the background throughout the night. We can't imagine going through the wedding planning process with anyone else because we truly felt like Lily was more than just our wedding coordinator - she was our mentor, cheerleader, and biggest advocate. We can't thank her enough for the support she gave us during our wedding process because she made it so much fun and that's such an important part of the process. Anyone would be so lucky to have Lily as their wedding coordinator, she will take the best care of you like it was her own special day.

We decided to have our wedding here and I am so happy we did! This location is not only affordable, but such a great spot that allows you to customize your wedding to your liking. The beautiful garden and excellent up-keep of the clubhouse really elevated our budget wedding. Not to mention the views are incredible! We had our wedding early July, and the weather was phenomenal - the skies were clear and there was just enough breeze to cool down from the sun. And of course, shoutout to Chris who was so awesome to work with. He was so responsive and incredibly professional. You can tell his passion for The Thursday Club immediately by the way he conducts himself and pours his love into maintaining the club. He also had great vendor recommendations and connected us with Courtney from Breezy Day to help coordinate our wedding (she was incredible as well). 10/10, would recommend!

I've been djing since I was 15 years old. I had a fascination for parties and events at an early age. I tagged along with my brother who dj'd at house parties back in the early 80's. I was hooked after seeing how much joy the music brought out in the crowd. I started buying my own 12" records, and it evolved into doing my own gigs: house parties, jr. high & high school dances, colleges, raves, underground parties, night clubs, weddings, corporate events, and so on. I started my DJ business in 1987, and have been honing my craft now for 3 decades. Thirty plus years later, I continue to love what I do. Now let's get the party started.

3STYLEDJS was the perfect DJ for our wedding! From the start, they were flexible with communication and accommodated our last minute requests and changes. On the day of, they were polite, professional, and brought an incredible amount of energy to the dance floor. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ service to make our special day unforgettable.

Carolyn was a god send for us in so many ways. We recently had a very DIY wedding with 120 guests, so as you can imagine there was a TON of work involved. Carolyn was with us every step of the way, from booking vendors, negotiating contracts, to-do lists, timeline and floorplans, you name it. But where she really shined is once we were there with her on the property. We had a million little details to think about and Carolyn was on top of it all. Many times before I even had to ask. She gave us the capability to actually relax and enjoy ourselves in the days leading up to the wedding, which we expected we would have had to be working the whole time. We were blown away by her hustle and work ethic, and even more-so, how she maintained a super positive attitude throughout it all. She was a delight to work with and helped us throw the wedding of our dreams. The same goes for her assistant! Amazing! There's so much more I can say, but just know, she is a true pro through and through and we couldn't be happier with our decision to hire her.
