Everything you need for a California wedding

I’ve honestly only heard wonderful things about Friends, so I’m really crossing my fingers that everything turns out perfect! I’ll reach out with a full report once the reception is over!
How many people actually showed up for your friends' wedding, and did you feel like there was enough floor space for everyone to dance? [/
There were about 100 folks there, and my maid of honor was right by my side through it all, so I can highly recommend the place—just make sure you request plenty of room for dancing... anyway, I am eagerly waiting to hear how yours goes!🙂)))))
Hey, tell me, fadedpuma21, who did you end up hiring for photography? I’m still on the hunt, and while everyone keeps pointing me toward Papaya, I’ve been looking into Mirjana’s Studio Inc... has anyone heard anything about them? What are the reviews like?

I did the same thing—just scouring the internet—and the consensus seems to be that Matthews is the top pick (though he was way out of my budget) and Fox is usually booked solid, along with the ones you mentioned. In the end, I went with Marino Photography out of Boise; I liked their portfolio online, and I heard they do decent work. They quoted me around $1,200, which seems to be the standard rate everywhere, really. What are your plans for the band?

I was recently scrolling through some photos of the Ultras arena, and wow, it looks absolutely incredible.

Does anyone happen to know what the prices are usually like there, or if the food is any good?

Thanks so much!

I did the exact same thing and just scoured the internet said:

So, I finally made a call on the band! If I were picking based purely on taste, I'd have gone with either Bravo Band or Taxi Band since I've listened to them so much over the years, but one was way too pricey and the other was unavailable. Instead, I'm going with 100's, who played for me before. The guys are great, and they play a nice mix of pop-rock, some California classics, and popular hits.
I was actually hoping to book Papaj, but Nikola is busy that day, so I guess I'll have to keep hunting for more options.

By the way, have you checked out Studio In
?

but regarding the photography, did you happen to check out Studio In

I ended up going with a photographer from the suburbs, Drazen (the Zumba guy), rather than Studio In, mostly because they were asking for an extra $333, and I really needed the whole recording session to fit within a single hour...

And while I have you all, about the pizza... where did you guys pick yours up? I remember someone mentioning Phoenix Discount earlier, is that still a good bet 🙂? (Gosh, how did I even manage to mash these two questions together—a notary course and pizza, haha 😉
