Wedding Vendors in Marina del Rey

I came across Wild Nite and absolutely loved what I was seeing! Everything looks so elegant and beautiful. I definitely have my eye on a few things for my wedding day, but was also curious to see if there was anything else for my bachelorette trip and my honeymoon. To my pleasant surprise, the founder Taylor, exposed me to more of what Wild Nite has to offer. More pieces that are fun, flirty, and sexy! A little something for every part of my wedding journey. Taylor even mentioned that she could create custom pieces for me, my fiancé, or even my bridesmaids if that is something I’d be interested in. She was so sweet! I’m looking forward to connecting with Taylor and Wild Nite again as she made this part of my wedding process stress free. I can’t wait to pick out the right pieces for myself and my bridesmaids!

Peter and his wife were great. I had my photos within 5 days. i loved having the negatives. i would highly recomend them. Great shots.

I have to say, choosing Wayne to be our photographer was one of the best decisions I made about our wedding planning! He was easy to deal and work with, showed up on time, had a pleasant personality, was right in our price range, very professional, unintrusive, and his pictures... AH! I am so happy! I did not know him or somebody that used him before. I chose him from the Wedding Wire list based on his reviews and my feel for his work after our first meeting. I am VERY IMPRESSED with his work. I am a pretty darn good photographer myself (hence pretty picky), and I have a deep apreciation for the pictures that Wayne took of us (he posted a few below "greg and cristina" if you want to check them out), particulalry given the short time he had with us. He took a blend of classic family pictures that pleased our parents mixed with modern shots, glam shots and photojournalism. Share with him what you want and he will give you exactly that. Highly recommended!

John and his assistant Ryan were absolutely wonderful on the day of my wedding. They were unobtrusive, polite, professional, and so dedicated in making sure they captured the love and magic of the day. From our first meeting with John, my now husband, Ron, and I felt a true connection with him and knew immediately that he was a true artist. We also knew from the start, that our wedding video would be like watching our own special romantic movie. So happy with our choice and highly recommend imageswedding. Not only an outstanding videographer, but an outstanding person.

I’m not sure there are enough superlative words to recommend James. A friend of mine recommended James—her wedding photos looked fabulous, and I also knew her lighting was difficult. My husband and I met with him to see his book and we were sold. Super-cool guy, and super-fun, which we were all about because we had an over-the-top, ridiculous Roaring 20’s theme. We didn’t want the traditional stuff - we wanted more like a big, fun, fancy dress party with a wedding thrown in. We did an engagement shoot at Venice Beach which was laid-back and fun, and we got some great shots which we used in our save-the-dates. We threw a lot of stuff at James for the wedding, though. We wanted nice posed pix of the family / wedding party, a couple of pix that look like they were actually taken in the 1920s, and I wanted him to capture the antics of our crazy performer friends (and family), but also make our non-performer friends and family feel at ease. Oh, and the wedding was an evening wedding, indoors and outdoors (a penthouse apartment with a huge terrace and many rooms for guests to wander around in), in the middle of January…dark dark dark…and we didn’t want him to walk around with a load of lighting equipment. Oh, and we paid for the wedding ourselves and were on a strict budget. All I can say is AMAZING. UH - MAY - ZING. I could not be more thrilled. James fit right into the spirit of the day, capturing the craziness that went on throughout the night, and making us all look fantastic. I’m in my 40’s and I don’t know how he worked this out with available lighting, but these are the first photos in years where I didn’t feel like I need to Photoshop myself!! There are SO many good ones - hard to choose what to put in our photo albums! He caught so many incredible moments throughout the venue and outside - he must have been in several places at once. Plus, his prices are surprisingly reasonable. Seriously, hire James - you will be so happy you did!

I would recommend anyone who is looking for a video of their special day to greatly consider Charles Lauren Films. They did my wedding, my brothers, and my sisters wedding and they manages to perfectly encapsulate each of our weddings in their own special way. David and Kelsey were a breeze to work with, very professional and were everything we could have asked for on our wedding day.

Ellen is amazing! She has such an eye for detail and has years of experience and it shows. I've received so many compliments on our invitations from our friends and family- they are so impressed. While professional in every way, she adds such a personal touch and warmth to everything she does. I cannot wait to do our booklets with her for the wedding ceremony as well! She is simply superb.

I cannot say enough great things about Marisa Nicole Events! Marisa and her team were absolutely amazing to work with. They made what is typically a very stressful process into an enjoyable and fun one. Marisa was incredibly professional, organized, and so much fun to work with along the way. Our venue was a bit of a difficult venue to manage as it was a state park and Marisa and her team were on top of every little logistic and went above and beyond to execute a perfect wedding. She made sure all of our wedding wishes were heard and that everything came to life as we envisioned. We would highly recommend Marisa and her team to anyone starting to plan a wedding - working with their team was one of the best decisions we made. They are the total dream team!

Jenny, Genevieve and the entire Rock N' Events team are the absolute best! We came to them with less than 90 days to pull everything together, and they jumped in immediately and had the wheels in motion on every single detail before I ever had time to weigh myself down with stress. With their help and guidance, we created and hosted a wedding and reception that was more incredible that we ever could have imagined! It was the most fun, the most beautiful, and the most amazing day of our lives! And to this day, our guests continue to gush about every little detail...asking when we throwing a party to renew our vows! Even the professional event planners who were in attendance as guests were gushing about how it was the best wedding they had ever been to! Jenny, Genevieve and the entire team are so awesome, well-connected, great at their jobs and instantly responsive at any hour of the day. And the day of the wedding, we didn't have to worry about one, single, thing! It was truly the most amazing day, and we are forever grateful to Genevieve and the team for making it happen.

We found this little mom and pop shop in MDR by mistake. I needed a watch battery and I walked in and met Shaun, the owner. From that moment, Shaun has been our go to guy for all things jewelery/watch-related, including our wedding rings. My husband had my engagement ring remade there (he proposed with an heirloom that didn't fit) so Shaun redid the whole ring, while still keeping the integrity of the original piece. It was magic I couldn't believe the work they did. He also was great with our sizing and talking us through the different materials. I got my husband's wedding band from him and my husband got his groomsmen gifts there -- he's a swiss army knife dealer. Shaun made me cry once he is just such a lovely, warm person. I am so thankful for all his help. They do engravings too and he gave us great tips on that as well. I can't recomment him enough.
