CaliforniaWeddingsandEvents.com was created by recent brides, not venture capitalists, and we are dedicated to providing a site that is easy to use and provides useful planning information without annoying pop-up ads and tons of banner advertisements.

Over the years, we have collected information on thousands of local and national wedding vendors but only a handful pay to advertise with us. By subscribing you can save time and benefit from our years of research and access information on thousands of California area wedding businesses that DO NOT PAY to advertise with us.

CaliforniaWeddingsandEvents.com has more planning information for the California area than ANY other resource including the local wedding magazines and the large national wedding Web sites. The vast majority of this Web site is freely available to the public and we only ask you to pay to access information that is not supported by advertising fees as a way to help keep this Web site going. Information on any business that pays to advertise on CaliforniaWeddingsandEvents.com is freely available to anyone who visits this Web site.
