A Note from Jolie and Konstantin
Golden State Wedding grew out of years spent working across the event, music, and hospitality world — and a deep respect for the professionals who shape celebrations through their craft.
Having worked behind the scenes at many weddings, we understand the level of care, preparation, and responsibility that goes into every event. As a husband-and-wife team, we’ve experienced the industry from multiple perspectives and know how central thoughtful, reliable vendors are to every celebration.
The intention behind Golden State Wedding is to present that work with clarity and context. Each vendor profile is written carefully, with the aim of reflecting not just what you do, but how you approach your work.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about the platform. Golden State Wedding exists because of the professionals who bring consistency, experience, and care to California’s wedding landscape.
