Long Beach Wedding Vendors

If you’re planning a wedding in Long Beach, our local businesses can help make your special day unforgettable. Here is a guide to local vendors who can provide everything you will need for the Big Day, from photo booths and food to DJs, musicians, and the cake.

OFFICIANTS

Tie the knot with a customized wedding ceremony by Great Officiants (3740 Atlantic Ave, Ste 201). These wedding experts can create a traditional ceremony with readings and vows, or dive into your fandom and preside while cosplaying as Dumbledore or Elvis. Or perhaps Star Wars’ Obiwan Kenobi is more to your liking? With 37 officiants to choose from, representing many faith traditions (and with a huge closet of costumes), Great Officiants will help create the ceremony that best represents you. Great Officiants can also host your ceremony in their chapel, open 24/7.

CAKES

The perfect wedding cake will not only taste good but have the show-stopping look that matches your event’s style and theme. Rossmoor Pastries (2325 Redondo Ave), located in Signal Hill, has been baking award-winning celebration cakes for 50 years. Book an appointment for a consultation and tasting with a designer in their cake studio to create your dream wedding cake.

Wedding Dresses

Strut Bridal Salon (4264 Atlantic Ave) in Bixby Knolls is a size inclusive bridal shop, offering wedding dresses, bridesmaids gowns, and special occasion gowns in sizes 0 to 38. Specializing in affordable options for plus size customers, brides-to-be can try on dresses during a private appointment or bring their entourage for a deluxe session in a premier party suite complete with champagne.

CATERING

In Long Beach, there are countless catering options, including TGIS Catering and Teak Catering that can create the perfect menu for your event, plus provide bar service and other aspects of event production. Now offering catering for private events, The Cave Prime Steak was founded during the pandemic by two chefs who would cook a steakhouse dinner for customers at home. And finally, book local coffee truck Carmen’s Coffee Company to keep your guests well caffeinated long into the night.

AUDIO/VISUAL SERVICES

DJs and emcees play important roles at weddings, making announcements, keeping your guests engaged and entertained, and leading everyone to the dance floor. Centerpiecevents can create a custom package to include various portions of the wedding day, and 1 Audio Visual provides audio, visual, lighting, filming, and event production services as well as AV equipment rentals.

PRINTERS

Invitations, signs, place cards, and other materials help your guests navigate the day and enhance the design of your event. For professional sign making and other printing services, check out Minuteman Press and FastSigns.

MUSICIANS

Picture your guests dancing the night away to a rocking live band. Gregg Young and the 2nd Street Band is a Long Beach-based group that performs many local public events and offers a pool of musicians to create the combo for your desired musical genre.

PHOTOGRAPHERS

One of the most important vendors on your wedding day is the photographer or videographer who will capture your memories. Our recommended local photographers include Fukushima Photography, David England Photography, and Caught in the Moment Photography. Media 360 is our recommended videographer.

PHOTO BOOTHS

A big part of attending weddings these days is scrolling through the fun photos that end up on social media the day of the event and after. Photo booth experts Snap Yourself! can create a custom selfie spot for your guests with a themed backdrop and a remote, so they can control when the photo is captured. Your guests will feel like stars with a high-tech 360 video booth from Bella Expressions or Magic Lens Photo Booths. They can also download the photos and videos instantly to share on social media.
