888 Productions

I had the pleasure of working with 888 Productions this past weekend on a wedding. They were very easy to contact in the weeks leading up to the event, were very professional, and produced a same day edit that was a perfect end to the evening. They are a fabulous group of people and I could tell it was extremely important for them to make sure everything was perfect for the bride and groom.

This is a looooong overdue review for Jonah and her team but better late than never! I have nothing but positive things to say about Solano888! My husband and I got married on 12÷12÷15 and I booked Solano888 for our video, photos, and coordinator. I’m still waiting for our video so I can’t leave a review for that just yet, but I’m sure it’ll turn out amazing like the rest of her videos. Our photographer was Melvin Gilbert and he was amazing! I felt super comfortable with him from our engagement shoot and his work is stunning! Our concern when we booked a photographer was that they need to know how to shoot during the night time and he did a stunning job! Looks like something out of a magazine! I decided pretty last min to hire coordinators to ease my stress and OMG they did just that for me! I had Keetin and her two team members as coordinators for the day and I am so thankful for them! They were on top of everything! They helped me with confirming all of my other vendors, made the timeline, got me a drink when I needed it (definitely important), helped set up the reception room, and overall made me feel stress free! If you’re a bride that gets stressed out easily like me, you HAVE to meet Jonah! She will seriously make you feel at ease! Thank Jonah for everything!!!

Wait. No. More. Call her now.
P. S. This is my favorite Same-​Day-​Edit video:

I have worked with Solano 888 Productions for the past few years and each of our events has been successful due in part to Jonah and her team. Designating Solano 888 Productions as the fashion show coordinator for Premier Bridal Shows wedding fashion shows has proven time after time, that this company has what it takes to make an event not only successful but to make those working with them feel part of a team. From fashion show models, celebrities, emcees, and wedding professionals, to dress designers and 1000s of brides, Solano 888 Productions treats everyone with professionalism and respect and foster enthusiasm and excitement. Their organization, reliability and creativity is way above average. Jonah and her team love what they do and it shows in their service and products. Solano 888 Productions has produced videos of Premier Bridal Shows and the result are amazing (you can see samples at
) Jonah and her team are always a pleasure to work with. Based on my experience working with them along with their high standards, I am confident that they produce a quality product every time.

My husband and I found Jonah and Solano 888 productions after seeing a friend’s wedding highlights video on social media. We were WOW-​ed with her work from our friend’s wedding, and decided to meet with her to discuss videography packages.
For our wedding at the Ritz-​Carlton, Laguna Niguel this past May, I was working with one of the top wedding planners in Orange County as well as with her 5-​star vendors. Jonah Solano was not one of the videographers our planner referred us to, because Jonah is not a 5-​star videographer. Jonah and her team are a 10-​star crew.
I really count her as one of our most valuable vendors on our wedding day, and we feel so blessed that we found her to capture our special day.
Jonah’s prices are unbeatable, and for the quality of service and work you receive, she could really be charging double or triple for the masterpiece you end up with in the end. She really loves what she does, she’s a true artist, and that is really manifested in her work. In addition to my own wedding video footage, I have loved watching all of her work of other weddings because she really knows how to capture each and every unique couple and their theme.
Our package with Jonah included a «Love Story» video, which was put together about a month before our wedding, and was shown to our wedding reception guests right before our Same Day Edit. Our Same Day Edit was incredible and we could not stop receiving compliments from our guests on how beautiful and awesome our video footage was that they saw at the wedding. In a matter of an hour in between the cocktail hour and dinner service, Jonah was able to pull together footage from our day to show to our guests during dinner service at our reception.
In addition to being a genius and perfectionist at what she does, Jonah is a really great person and friend that develops relationships with her clients. She really went out of her way for us; including driving an hour to our house on Christmas Eve just to give us our wedding materials so we could have it as gifts for our families for Christmas.
Every masterpiece she has put together for us – our «love story,» 2 same-​day edit versions, our final feature film, and the general footage she captured, has provoked tears.
I can’t recommend Jonah, her company, and their services enough to anyone searching for a masterful videographer, a visionary, and an honest, professional vendor.
We love you, Jonah!
Thank you, Solano 888 productions, for allowing us to remember our wedding day exactly how we saw and experienced it forever!

In behalf of my friend Sheryll, I would like to thank Jonah Solano and Nancy Adams who did a great job in making my friend ‘s wedding last Oct 8, 2014 a very memorable experience for all of us. 5 stars is not enough to rate the overall experience… I’ll make it a 10!!! They are very patient, dedicated to their craft, their work comes from the heart. We highly recommend them to our friends and acquaintances as well!!! Thumbs up! You did an awesome job! Mission accomplished girls!! Truly An A-​1 team!!! we luv you guys!

Jonah is seriously the BEST! She will work with any personality and always helpful to everyone. She is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. Her positivity is attractive. Her work is great! I mean she’s a three in one: Great personality, great work, lovable! I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend her and 888 Solano Productions. Great talent is hard to come by combined with an awesome person to work with! I love 888 Solano and Jonah!!!

The raw talent, professionalism, quality, awesome details, the technical knowledge of Jonah Solano. Although i can go on and on about Jonah and Solano888, what really stands out the most is her ability to visualize and put it to action. But it doesn’t stop there, she adds ample amount of heart, soul, passion and you get a SDE (same-​day edit) video that can make a grown man cry (in happiness).
We were on the fence of hiring a videographer, but before our first meeting with Jonah ended, we’ve already made up our minds and ready to sign the contract! She made us feel very comfortable, no pressure. She understood our vision and it didn’t take her long to give us tips and advices guiding us to the right direction way before we signed.
On the day of, Jonah and her crew arrived on time and immediately got to work. They even stayed extra hours outside the agreement just to make sure the SDE video was at the highest quality and meets her high standards before it gets played at the reception.
The SDE Video was amazing! It has a great story. Jonah selected a background song that totally meshed with the story. It takes us back to the happiest day of our lives every time we watch it. We couldn’t be happier with the results. People still talk about our video and continue getting compliments. Solano888 Productions exceeded our expectations and will definitely recommend them to anybody.
Jonah and Solano888 Productions — Thank you for making our day one of a kind and extra special. You guys are awesome! We’re very excited to see the full length video.

I cannot say enough good things about Dennis & Jonah Solano’s. My husband and I almost didn’t do videography for our wedding. I’m so glad we found them and changed our minds. Our wedding was on Lake Michigan and they travelled all the way there. The day of the wedding Jonah was like my 7^th bridesmaid. Helping fix my makeup or adjust my dress. She also gave me tips of how to pose and what not. They were both great with our families and everyone raved about them! Then came the videos!!! Then came the amazing videos! Our trailer and full video were more than I ever hoped for. The shots, the creativity, the moments captured, it was all done beautifully. We have recommended them to many of our close friends and family. Do yourself a favor and book these two to shoot your day. It’s so worth it and all you have to look back on when the day is over!!!

Our wedding was just 6 weeks ago, and looking back at the past year full of wedding planning, the single most important find was Jonah and her Solano 888 Productions. We had been wrestling with the idea of hiring a wedding coordinator, we were on a tight budget, and knew that it could be helpful but not necessarily something we could afford to do. After getting advice from a few people, we decided to go for it, and (my wife) found Jonah and our lives started to just get easier. She was pleasant from day one, making it enjoyable to speak with her or talk to her over the phone or email. She was always easy to reach, and never made us feel bad for asking nervous questions about things she told us she had handled.
When we’d meet up with the other vendors she would set up the appointments, and was happy to find a time and location that was good for US, and she’d drive way out of her way to make it happen. Not only that but here’s the best part: she has SO many great connections and referrals, that however much money you pay her for her services, you get back in deals from other vendors thanks to her. To help prevent any bias, she would always arrange other competing vendors that we would choose, and then bring her colleague who she recommended and throw that person in the mix. We would then have the meetings where we’d see like 3 – 6 vendors, and in every case the person SHE recommended was a no-​brainer over the ones we found. Now that the wedding has come and gone, I can tell you that EVERY vendor we hired thanks to Jonah (including Videographer and Photographer) was fantastic, and we’ve already started referring them to other people.
Slowly but surely we’ll be sure to leave Unilocal reviews for each one of them (so far we’ve only done the photographer) but for now a big shout-​out to Jonah for helping to get us to our beautiful wedding day, and her friendly and helpful staff who also assisted on the big day!

My now husband and I originally wanted Solano 888 Productions to be our videographer. But after meeting Jonah and hearing her ideas we also hired her as our Day-​of-​Coordinator. That decision was one of the best decisions we have done for our wedding. Jonah and her crew are very organized, accommodating, and professional, yet friendly and supportive. They gave creative input and helped bring our ideas to life. When a vendor fell short, she and her assistant Nancy picked up the rest of the slack. They did more than what they are obligated to and hired for, without additional charge. She definitely worked within our limited budget.
We haven’t seen our wedding video yet as it has only been weeks since we got married, but I have complete trust that it will come out beautiful, just as our wedding day did.
Thank you so much for helping create our beautiful wedding! You guys made it possible for our guests and us to have a special and memorable day.

I’m having a destination wedding in Cabo so ultimately I needed to hire a local wedding coordinator in Mexico, but I wanted to take the time to write about Jonah at Solano 888 Productions.
After becoming very frustrated by all the vendors and the wedding planners in Mexico and how slow an none responsive everyone there is I had cold feet about having a destination wedding after all. I started googling local vendors and a wedding I liked listed Solano 888 Productions as the event coordinators. I wrote them an email with a list of questions.
Literally the next day Jonah called me. She didn’t just have answers she had taken the time to do research other vendors that I may like with a range of available dates for the months I was considering. When I told her my issues with the hotels in Los Cabos, she said she would check into it. Within two days she sent me emails and called to provide me information about the hotels I was interested in in Mexico. The local wedding planner I was dealing with didn’t get back to me until a week after Jonah.
She also called my DJ and made him give me a discount after I had already negotiated a price with him.
Jonah is organized and hard working. But the most important thing is that she seemed to genuinely care about my budget and my time constraint. As a bride you want to have the best wedding possible but finances can be very stressful and I literally felt calm and optimistic every time I got off the phone with her.
Ultimately, I had to get a local wedding planner in Mexico because I need a presence there since I am planning from LA but if I were to have a local wedding I would definitely work with Jonah.

My wedding was just 2 days ago, I haven’t seen the video yet, but I wanted to write a review just based on Solano 888’s professionalism. They were on time, courteous, and fun! Jonah was so sweet, and went out of her way to make sure everything was just how it should be. I really appreciated her Dennis, and the rest of her crew. So excited to see the end results!

This is my second review for solano888 for our wedding last january 2011. first one didn’t go through, I wonder what happened?
Solano888 helped in organizing and creating a short story video of how me and my husband met. i have three words to describe them. AWESOME! DETAILED! ORGANIZED! Our guests enjoyed watching the video. and when we posted the video on our fb profile, we continued getting compliments. the video was so entertaining. we still watch it from time to time.
We would like to thank Jonah and her team for making our special day extra special and really fun for everyone. More power to you. you guys rock!

My husband and I had the pleasure of hiring Jonah and her team for pretty much our entire wedding coordination thanks to a recommendation from Sharon and Nick. :) So I had about a year of endless calls, emails, and meetings with Jonah. At first I was very hesitant to hire a planner since I thought I could do everything myself but hiring her was the best decision we ever made. Jonah and her team were phenomenal! I’m the type of bride that likes to look at ALL my options before making a decision and this is hard because you are researching things forever!
But Jonah made our lives so much easier. Working very long hours at work makes it hard to plan a wedding but she took care of everything and showed us what we could get at our budget, a little above our budget and a little below our budget so we could make a sound decision that we were happy with. Not only was she very professional, punctual and knows how to get good deals on things, she is very real and down to earth and tells you how it is. She also pulls though when things don’t go as planned and pacifies all problems that may arise with vendors, etc. Also, she is great at editing videos. :) We were so happy with our wedding video and have gotten lots of great compliments.
Jonah is very detail oriented and very creative. She made our Vintage Chic wedding vision come to life while working within our limited budget. Our church ceremony and reception was better than we could imagine. We couldn’t have done it without her! If you are having doubts about getting a planner, at least get one for the day of. If you want one of the best, then get Jonah.
Thanks for everything!

My husband and I were recently married. Jonah was amazing. She helped us organize our thoughts and bring our vision to life. We had such a wonderful reception and couldn’t have done it without her help.
She also created a short film about how we met. It was very tasteful. The guests really enjoyed the film and we continue to get compliments on the movie.
We have and will continue to recommend Jonah to our friends.

We worked with Jonah and her team from 888 Solano productions and were thrilled at how well they get things done; smooth and effortlessly (as it appears!). They worked very well with all the vendors and met all the needs of the Bride and Groom (from what we can tell).
We are wedding photographers (
) and were shock to find our clients’ original wedding planner cancelled on the Bride and Groom 1 week before the wedding! Solano 888 came to the rescue and pulled off a super detailed oriented wedding with 1 week of planning. This was an extremely well planned out wedding; and executed perfectly. Great job Solano! Maybe it was faith that the original planner cancelled, because we don’t think anyone could have done a better job than you guys! Here are photos from that particular wedding:
