Men got the tuxes from here (but the one in Westchester) and they all agreed that it was a great experience all around :)

We chose Acton Country Flowers after seeing them at a bridal show at the AV Fairgrounds (although we got married in Los Angeles)- they are so sweet and helped to make my dream wedding a reality.

We debated about having a string quartet for our wedding - and after budgeting we realized we could only afford a string trio. It was awesome and added the perfect touch to the church. They did a great job!

Loved our cruise - we sailed to the Western Caribbean in January and it was awesome! Princess has the best food and the best accommodations - and this comes from a frequent cruiser who has also been on Royal Caribbean and Carnival.

I had a love/hate relationship with Alfred Angelo, Bev Hills. I LOVED my dress, the price and my initial consultation. Aurora was awesome and made my mom and I feel like I was the only bride to ever walk in the store.
I HATED the service afterwards - we also had to purchase 5 bridesmaids dresses and a veil and it seemed like having to pull teeth getting someone to help us each time we went in. I also LOVED the girls from alterations - they truly were magical :)

John and Max came highly recommended and after our initial consultation I knew that we had found the right wedding photographers. I knew that our wedding location was tricky, but they took care of everything with ease - including the unexpected rain (which lasted ALL day long!!!). Putting together our album and choosing "the one" for large framing was difficult because there were so many GREAT photos to choose from. Highly recommended :)

We had Cameron as our DJ and he became an integral part of our wedding - he literally kept the party going and he wasn't a mic hog like some of the other DJs that we interviewed. He went above and beyond - even taking it upon himself to teach everyone the Footloose dance. People still come up to me and comment on how much they enjoyed the DJ at our wedding.

Best idea I ever had was to go to the Mac counter as Macy's Manhattan Beach to get all of our make-up done. They did a great job - in a short amount of time (I had 5 bridesmaids). Plus, you spend $40 for the actual cosmetics - so the bridesmaids got to take something extra home :)
