I was married at Wente Vineyards in October. Our sales coordinator was Tricia and she was outstanding! When I told her what our budget was, she immediately started figuring out ways to save us money. She was always quick to return emails and never seemed bothered by my thousand questions. The only thing I was worried about with Wente was that you don't meet your day of coordinator until the rehearsal! I was worried about that but then when I met our day of coordinator Dana, all that worrying disappeared. She was so on top of everything! My wedding day was perfect. Dana really kept everything organized and on schedule and because of that, I was stress-free the entire evening. And the FOOD! Our wedding guests are still talking about how good the food was!!!

I was helped by Lauren who was wonderful! I had tried on my dress here early on in my hunt for the dress. I ended up buying a different dress at a different bridal salon but for the next month, kept thinking about the dress at J'aime Bridal. Finally, I ended up going there and trying it on again, and probably kept it on in the store for about an hour! Lauren was patient with me, knowing I had a big decision to make. I ended up buying the dress and selling the first one I bought. I even bought my veil and headpiece from J'aime Bridal. I love this store- they really take care of you and your dress!!

Lisa is amazing! I communicated with her mainly over email and she was very quick to respond to my emails and always helpful in my indecisiveness over certain floral details. I spoke to a bunch of florists over the phone when I was just beginning my planning but Lisa was the only florist I met with! I knew from that meeting alone that my wedding was in good hands with her! Everything was beautiful- the centerpieces were exactly what I envisioned, as was my bouquet and my bridesmaids' bouquets! My husband, who was not really active in the whole planning process, was stunned by how beautiful the reception room looked when we made our entrance. I HIGHLY recommend Lisa!!!!

If you want chair covers or table linens for your wedding day, call Blanca!! She definitely has the best prices in the bay area and is very responsive! She was one of the first vendors I found when I started my wedding planning. Right after the contract was signed, she went to my venue and fitted the chairs to make sure her ivory covers fit. This was without me knowing! Good thing she did because they didn't fit! The chairs at the venue were a strange, larger size so Blanca called me up immediately to let me know the ivory covers she had didn't fit so she ordered the extra large covers. Both my husband and I were impressed from the start at Blanca's professionalism. And she's so nice on top of it!!! We ended up ordering colored cloth napkins through Blanca for our table settings. Everything looked wonderful! She was there to set up and there at the end to take everything down. We didn't have to do a thing! I highly recommend Blanca and A Touch of Elegance!

Sara also made my Save the Dates and they are exactly what I wanted!! Sara is amazing- so creative and talented. She was incredibly patient with me when we were going back and forth via email during the design process. We are getting married at a winery so she drew us with a vineyard in the background. It's perfect! My fiance and I are so happy with how these turned out that we wish these were our actual invitations!! I can't recommend her enough.
