Pastor Tom was our officiant to wedding this year. We were worried that because he is a pastor,…read more he would have restrictions to how he would marry us since we were not religious. He said it would be no problem and for us to schedule some time to meet. We met with him for nearly 2 hours and it was well worth it. The meeting proved to be insightful in terms of guidance and planning of the the ceremony as well offering suggestions for things such as Unity Candle or Sand Ceremony. He directed us to some verses of the bible which I didn't care for at first but after searching the internet for the right "reading", it turns out they verses are still just words and proved to be a short but powerful message. He also gave us some homework to do - writing our vows and finalize the rough draft of the ceremony with a to-do list. It nearly blew me away how quickly we crossed off the planning of the ceremony with him. He definitely took away the stress from planning this part of the ceremony! He was professional, easy to talk to, available via email, and most importantly, available for our ceremony! He came dressed appropriately, arrived ahead of time, and mingled with our guest. We coudn't be any happier how he was well-spoken with just the right amount of funny, not to mention engaging the whole time. You won't regret meeting him!

Pastor Tom was just our officiant for our last minute wedding, and we were very pleased! He was…read moreawesome! We had a brief meeting shortly before the wedding at his beautiful home. It was very comfortable, and he made sure he met all of our expectations without any problem. Despite, hiring him only a few weeks before the wedding, we had so many compliments from guests, saying it seemed he's known us forever by his performance. It was perfect. We also had a recent death in the family shortly before the wedding, which he honored during the ceremony in such a sweet positive way. Both my husband and I as well as all the guests were very happy with him. What more can you ask for. I would definitely recommend him!!

Aimee is truly one of a kind. Having worked in the wedding industry for years and collaborated with…read moremany planners, I can confidently say no one compares to her. Her calm, grounded presence on the wedding day instantly put me at ease and allowed me to truly enjoy every moment knowing everything was handled flawlessly. Our venue included a venue coordinator, which we appreciated, but it quickly became clear that the venue coordinator's role is to represent the venue, not the couple. We wanted someone who was fully on our team, prioritizing our experience, our vision, and our guests. Having Aimee there to advocate for us and ensure our day unfolded exactly as we hoped was one of the best decisions we made. Her organization and execution are unmatched. She has an incredible eye for detail and a gift for anticipating needs before you even realize them yourself (from both a client perspective and guest perspective). But what makes Aimee truly special is how thoughtful and intentional she is in her approach. She doesn't just run a timeline, she helps create a day that feels deeply meaningful, personal, and full of heart. Beyond her professionalism, Aimee has an incredible ability to connect with EVERYONE around her. Guests, family members, and vendors all ADORED her. She balances warmth and authority effortlessly, making everyone feel cared for while also keeping everything perfectly on track. It's so clear that her number one goal is the happiness of the couple and their guests, and it shows in everything she does. Aimee went above and beyond to ensure our day ran seamlessly, and she did it all with genuine care, love and joy. I cannot recommend Weddings by Aimee more highly... she's simply the best.

We were searching for a Wedding Coordinator and found so much more than that in Aimée. She was a…read moreconfidante, a reminder to step outside the stress of wedding planning and savor the joy & fun of building something together. She was an advocate for us in coordination with vendors, and a hype woman for our whole wedding weekend. Our values going into our wedding were warmth & connection, sustainability, and holding onto that quirkyness that makes our relationship us. Aimée was a fantastic match for these qualities. She met with us early & often, which is not typically common for coordinators. If you are going to opt for a coordinator rather than a fulltime planner, I do recommend working with someone who offers both services. Just the fact that Aimée works as a full-time planner as well brings a level of expertise to her coordination. She has a wealth of experience with intentional weddings, helping couples to slow down and truly express themselves through their celebrations. Aimée helped us build a Master Timeline that took us from the beginning of our weekend all the way through to the end, from the big important pieces to the little details like making room for us to take a breath & connect throughout the weekend. On the day of the wedding, Aimée was in full execution mode. Part of what makes Aimée great is that she has built trusting partnerships with so many people, including our vendors and venue coordinator at Whispertree (the incomparable Freida), so she is able to get everyone aligned quickly and deliver. While delivering on every detail, Aimée also took the time to connect with our friends and families, which is part of what makes her so special. Execution does not just mean running through the timeline. It means building connections that make running through the timeline feel seamless. We would recommend Aimée to anyone who wants a Planner or Coordinator who specializes in truly getting to know the people she works with to deliver a wedding that feels intentional, magical & so perfectly unique.

I hired Justine for my wedding in August this year. She was amazing!…read more Justine is organized and talented. We met 2 times prior to the wedding to go over details--number and types of pieces, photos of bouquets I liked, colors, timing and more. She is very creative, was in tune with the style I wanted, and made suggestions for different flowers I hadn't thought of or even heard of before. At the last minute, I asked for a hair piece, and she got it to me the night before the wedding. I'd highly recommend Glam Garden Designs for your event!

Engagement photoshoot on 6/22/13. Lily is an awesome photographer to work with. She's super…read morefriendly and courteous and she takes the time to figure out what your personality is like. She has a great eye for what is beautiful, quirky, and romantic-the perfect mix to show what my relationship with the fiance is like. This lady spent 3 hours looking for the perfect lighting and angle and whatever it is photographers need to do their magic. The results were very impressive and I'm very happy I chose Lily and her husband to help capture an important chapter in my life. I guess she picked the perfect day as well since we got some shots of the supermoon =) My biggest thing for wedding stuff/anything really, is communication. She was very fast with responses and even with posting some teasers of the shoot so I could see some of the pictures the next day. Awesome. Another thing is, if you're not creative don't worry! She has so many poses and different ideas of very clever pictures. I felt kind of bad because I kept giggling/moving around when I was supposed to be serious, but Lily was really patient and just chatted while I pulled it together. She did the shoot with her husband and I thought it was great they were so easy to talk to-taking pictures is a little nerve-racking as it is, but it definitely helps when you have friendly people working with you. tldr: If you're planning on taking engagement/wedding pics, Lily is your woman. The fiance: "She's amazing and I didn't know I could look that good".

I highly recommend Lily if you are looking for someone to capture the wonderful moment in your life!

Jeremy has a calming presence and an encouraging tone that helps soothe the photography nerves. He also has a special eye for capturing the essence of his subjects. We really felt as though he captured how we looked and how we felt on our special day. Not only did he help us create memories of our love on our wedding day, he also went above and beyond to capture the special moments thought the day of all of our guests, moments that we would not have been able to witness had it not been for his eye. We are so thankful for Jeremy's expertise and cannot recommend him enough for events that you hope to capture genuinely and hold close forever.

Jeremy was our wedding photographer for our June 2018 wedding at the Hollins House in Santa Cruz…read more Hiring a photographer was the next thing on the list after we finally locked down a venue and we're so glad we hired Jeremy for our big day. After contacting Jeremy via email, we had our first meeting via Skype and he was so patient with all our questions -- from the smallest details of the day of to us being nervous about being in front of the camera for the first time. Pricing was up front and fair and he was super flexible as we threw in an engagement shoot and changed our package a couple times leading up to the big day. Jeremy took our engagement photos in San Francisco and put us at ease, he's super friendly and chill and we had a blast hopping around to different locations for the shoot. For the wedding day, Jeremy was professional and incredibly helpful -- he helped us stay on schedule, was the last minute bow-tie hero of the ceremony, and really accommodating as he navigated the demands of the family (thank you!). We loved Jeremy's photography style when we first saw his photographs and we're so glad we chose Still Music to document all our memories of our wedding.

Furthermore, guests are instantly put to ease thanks to Ashkan's warmth, great sense of humor and patience and we can all sense that he genuinely cares about making sure your event is a success in every possible way.

The thing that stood out the most to me was that he is very passionate about his work. He goes into great detail on how he plans to catch those perfect moments. Our engagement photo shoot was a blast. We had so much fun with Ashkan and his wife Sepideh. They make a great team. They made the day very exciting and unforgettable. They took us all over Half Moon Bay and even bought us lunch. Overall, a great experience. Our wedding day came and Ashkan and Sepideh were absolutely amazing. From start to finish we were blown away with their service. Check out a preview of our wedding pictures at http://www.sepash.com/?p=1480 and you be the judge. They were all over the place trying to catch those picture perfect moments. All our friends and family were very impressed. His prices don't do justice for the type of service you get. Trust me! Don't get fooled by other photographers who charge 2x what SepAsh charges. With SepAsh, you will get quality, professional service for a very reasonable price. Even to this day, my wife and I look at our wedding pictures constantly because we are so happy how they came out. We can't wait to hire them again once we have our first baby! SepAsh Photography, simply the BEST!!!
