San Diego Style Weddings is always looking for the area’s best wedding vendors and we love to showcase the new companies in our illustrious network that can help your every need. Below is a rundown of the newest installation of what you can find in the SDSW network of professionals.

Allie Marion Photography

Your wedding day should be fun and Allie Marion and her team are prepared to tell the authentic story of the couple and their day. She also wants to be able to give her couples accurate documentation of each special moment that illustrates the emotions being felt during that time. They also pride themselves on making sure everyone from your flower girl to the father of the bride understands the poses so no one feels uncomfortable. Ultimately, she loves seeing her couples having fun! Their #1 goal is to saturate every possible highlight, detail, and activity from the day to make sure your memories can be cherished for years to come.

Amber Silva Makeup Artist

Amber has spent her career figuring out her style, and her favorite has become the natural makeup look. Natural or Natural Glam are her specialty. She became a makeup artist because she wanted to help people find that Natural Glam/Bohemian look. She discovered the Bohemian look first working at a makeup counter and her mentor who pulled it off flawlessly inspired her. Since starting her own business, she has perfected the art of flawlessly blended but layered makeup to make you look perfect on your day.

Annemarie Donaker Events

Having a wedding coordinator can be a great advantage. You get to have all of the fun without nearly as much stress! One great option is to work with Native San Diegan, Annemarie Donaker, who is familiar with the best venues around town! Annemarie has been planning parties and corporate events for more than 20 years. She wanted to make it a career and really enjoys seeing her work pay off at fabulous events! Annemarie is also excited to plan other events leading up to the wedding and making sure your entire experience is flawless. With an extensive history of vendor management, every single detail of your wedding will be taken care of so on the big day, you’ll be stress free!

Can Ham Photo Booth

Looking for a photo booth but want a cool twist? Then you need to check out Can Ham Photo Booth. Operating out of a 1956 vintage Shasta camper trailer, it’s a photo booth on wheels that can come to any location you desire! The software they use is aesthetically more of a draw to people who are used to using Apple tech and doing a lot of social sharing. They can add your custom hashtag or a custom monogram on all photo strips to distinguish your wedding even more. Their photo booth is very mobile user-friendly with a sleek redesign. This repurposed vintage camper photo booth is sure to be a hit at your wedding!

EC Stylebar

Starting with the concept that being mobile is necessary these days for busy professionals, moms, and brides among others, Kaitlyn of EC Stylebar was realizing it’s become more difficult to take time for you. They can come to any location for any reason. For the brides, they can pull up right outside your house or venue. This one-stop shop can do your hair, nails, and makeup from their portable Stylebar. Take the hassle out of trying to find different vendors to come to you and check out EC Stylebar for all of your styling needs.

Hilton San Diego Resort

Looking for a true San Diego feel to your wedding? Look no further! At the Hilton San Diego Resort, you can get married on the beach right next to the ocean for that “sand between your toes” vibe. If you don’t want to worry about sand getting on your gorgeous wedding gown, they have multiple options for ceremony sites. You can get married under palm trees in the garden, or they also have a poolside option. No matter where you are on the property, you’ll have that wonderful bay breeze floating through your ceremony. As an added bonus, they also offer onsite catering and have an AV team on property for custom lighting for your reception or ceremony!

JLH Blooms

Peonies, roses, and lilies, oh my! There are so many options for florists and floral designs that it can be difficult to decide what you are looking for. At JLH Blooms, they are design-minded and can see the whole picture of your wedding day. Starting with a communication guarantee, you will have peace of mind that you can send suggestions, and your blooms will show up as fabulously as promised. Offering completely custom packages, each package is designed specifically for you based on what you are looking for. They are not afraid to take on a challenge and are constantly living up to those challenges! Being transparent in the way they do business has led to a reliable track record that has left many couples extremely happy and in awe of the gorgeous blooms around their wedding!

Krystal Productions

At Krystal Productions, they do both photography and videography, so it’s two vendors in one! Their team of photographers and videographers are ready to document your day and catch every special moment. They also do engagement shoots and rehearsal dinners and offer a wide variety of packages. There is also an option for customized packages as well, to work within your budget.

SGM Events

Looking for your reception entertainment but having a hard time deciding what you want? Look no further! SGM Events is the only fully licensed agency in the city of San Diego. They have bands, DJs, acoustic artists, and even an illusionist! One perk of working with SGM Events is that you can check out a DJ or band live at a bar or club in the San Diego area, and get the full SGM experience before booking. Some of their acts have been actively in the industry for over a decade, so they know how to be the life of the party!

Elegance On Display

Fresh baked to order? Doesn’t get much better than that! With a storefront solely for the purpose of tastings and consultations, Elegance on Display will be focused 100% on you! Tastings are customized based on what you’re looking for, and there is a dining room table and couch in her storefront for sampling. It’s the most comfortable, relaxed atmosphere to do a cake tasting without everyday customers in your way! She also adds a free anniversary cake to take with you after the wedding! With Elegance on Display, you really can have your cake and eat it too!

Dinner 4 Two

Are you sweating for the wedding? Dinner 4 Two can help you out with the kitchen portion! Their main focus is helping engaged couples cook more at home and eat more healthy meals that they teach you how to prepare. They do cooking shows for engaged couples all around the country to introduce them to the company and how easy it is to cook at home! Their cooking demonstration takes up to five couples per demonstration in a hotel for a weekend. It’s a one-hour cooking show where you get the opportunity to try the food and see how easy it is to eat healthy at home. Their whole goal is to save you time and money by cooking healthy at home. You can also purchase the cookware at a demonstration that comes with a 50-year warranty! And if you’re trying to decide where to register, they have their own wedding registry!

Welk Resorts

Say yes to twinkling lights at dusk, the sound of laughter and clinking glasses, fountains sparkling in the sunlight, and the smell of flowers mixed with freshly mown grass. Say yes to the perfect ambiance. At Welk Resorts, they know how to craft that special event you’ve been planning, whether it’s a wedding, corporate event, anniversary, or other milestone. Say yes to their gorgeous settings – on the greens or under a glowing tent – plus their carefully curated and customized menus, attentive professional staff, amenities, and accommodations, and the experienced guidance of their in-house event design team.
