Speaking of vendors! Let us talk about a few Mike and Arianna used. So, who would our trusty Sound Man choose to take care of his own wedding? You may be reading this as a friend or loved one and just excited to see Mike and Arianna. However, you may be searching for your very own to use at your wedding or party. We know that these decisions are not easy. Therefore, let us help you out a little by talking about a few of the ones they used. However, this list will be much shorter than the actual list of vendors they used, at least we can highlight a small handful for you. Your vendors are the arteries and the lifelines of your event, and we know reading reviews of experience with them helps tremendously.

First, let us start with the venue. The Shelby in Carson, CA is beautiful and fresh with a modern touch elegance. The staff was warm, welcoming and always willing to help. They ensured that we had everything we needed to make the load in, performance, and loadout go as smoothly as possible. As the entertainment, we had one fantastic and easy experience with The Shelby. As a result, we are confident this was a reflection of Mike and Arianna’s experience, as well. Venues like The Shelby always provide versatility, service, capacity, and cleanliness for every client. It was important for Mike and Arianna to find the perfect venue to give them that 5-star experience for them and their guests. After all, this is one of the biggest nights of their life! The Shelby delivered just that!

Next, on to the brains behind the organization and planning! Planning a wedding can be taxing and stressful. Each detail is just as important as each other. Therefore, your organization skills have to be on point so that no detail is overlooked or forgotten. Of course, we would like to recommend the wedding planner Katherine Hoggard. She is amazing! We have been working with her and her associates for over 8 years now. Her attention to detail is impeccable. One thing that is important that sometimes a couple does not think of is the communication to the band from the planner. We need to know all the details of the night to make sure all the special moments happen and happen at the right time. Because not all wedding receptions are the same, it is important that we gather all the information to make sure we stop for those special moments. So, Katherine does just that. From the wedding party introductions to the last song of the night, she makes sure we are in the know with the 4-1-1. Anyone else just think of the movie “Mean Girls” just now? 🙂

Now, the art of photography helps capture the magic of the moment. Taking pictures is one thing; capturing memorable moments is another. Well, Westmont Photography did just that! The quality of their photography was just as perfect as their ability to catch those moments that Mike and Arianna will never forget. In addition to that, not only is capturing the moment important, but their quality of editing is spot on. The pictures Westmont produced are vibrant, clear, colorful, and fresh.
