From the moment I walked onto the property I fell in love with this site. Our experience was exactly what we expected: our family and friends together at a beautiful place. Yet we got so much more: our photos had stunning views of either the ocean, the sunset or the city lights. (That?s probably another reason why our photos and video came out so good.) Friends are constantly telling us that it was the best wedding that they?ve ever been to. Now that?s a good feeling.

What made La Venta special is their unsurpassed team that made our wedding run perfect. That?s one thing that makes them stand out above other sites. Every staff member that I came into contact with was kind and helpful. Sara was our coordinator (she also works at the Verandas) and did a fantastic job. She directed everything from the valet parking, to the serving of the cake and even packed us a picnic basket since we were too busy talking to have time to eat. By the way, the food was fantastic. We got to attend a tasting several months before our wedding to sample all the options? I?d love to go to that again!

Being a teacher I had the summer off to do my research and prepare for our wedding. I interviewed a variety of photographers and did MY homework on various vendors. Their photographs are what first caught my eye; remarkable shots with beautiful back grounds. I saw their website and was impressed, but it wasn?t until someone recommended them that I decided to call. I met with John and Max and was instantly at ease by their personality, very easy to talk to and understanding of our needs.

We have been so pleased with John & Max throughout the process. They were very familiar with the property, which made the photos an easy and quick transition between the wedding and reception allowing us more time with our guests. Most importantly, our photos came out fantastic! Their creativity shows in our photographs and is truly an art. They have an eye for capturing the perfect photo at the right time.

I loved our cake! Our experience was great. We showed got to sample so many types of cakes and frostings, it was fantastic. They have more choices at this shop than many of the others. I'm confident they can make any type of cake. My friends have even used them for personal birthday cakes since they can print edible photos onto your cake.

I am so happy with our music choice. They are fantastic! I was surprised they truly can perform EVERY kind of music. We had classical music during our ceremony, and then changed upbeat dancing music for the reception. They're very professional and all of our guests loved them. Also, Kenyatta did an exceptional job announcing various aspects of the reception as well.

Originally we weren?t planning on having a videographer until my best friend convinced us that our kids would appreciate it more than we would. We are SO glad we did. Brian's work was phenomenal, and exceeded every expectation we had. Brian was very professional, personable and extremely creative. He was running everywhere to get perfect angles yet nobody even noticed him doing it. He got along with all of our other vendors and we were very happy with how everything turned out.

The moment I met with Brian it was obvious he is excited about what he does. We asked to have our wedding captured so we could remember everything about the day. Brian listened to our ideas and glorified them. He made us feel so comfortable at our wedding and it shows in his work. We were so surprised when we saw our video... seriously, he made us look like movie stars! (And we're very average people.)

In addition to our video, we got a teaser clip, which we were able to share with our family and friends. My mom showed all of her co-workers and even they got teary eyed because it was so good. Many of our married friends see our video and wish they could go back have Brian do theirs.

All we have to say is check out his web site or meet him, his work says it all.
