Jasandov's reviews

The best splurge ever! We had so much fun in the photobooth! I brought some props from home (boa, hats, beads, eye mask, etc). I wish that I had found more but having them was such a great idea. The guests looked like they were having a blast. The only problem that I had was that many guests were not signing the photo guest book at first because they said that they didn't know they were supposed to, which means that the rep was not being very proactive. I had the DJ make an announcement to encourage the guests to go back and sign/create a page. Some guests told me they saw the guy but he never mentioned anything to them. Other than that I would recommend and the have the best prices around.

The best thing we could have done considering we already have a house and all the stuff that we need. I also had a very small registry at Macy's that a few people choose to use. I had a lot of fun planning our honeymoon and looking for the best hotels/deals. We did have one splurge which was our first 5 nights in Phuket at the Ayara Hilltops. Other than that I planned an awesome honeymoon that was at least $3000 less than any travel agent. The trip cost around $4000 including round t rip airfare from LAX, 2 intercontinental flights and 10 nights at different 4 & 5 star hotels.

My engagement ring & wedding band are absolutely perfect! I thought my fiance was a little daring buying it online but everything worked out perfect. They have a 30 day refund policy, free overnight shipping, very knowledgeable customer service reps & re-sized my ring with a very quick turn around. They also provide the genuine diamond certificate. My fiance save over $1000 when comparing the prices of the same ring with all the local competitors including Icing on the Ring.

Mon Amie has a wide selection of bridal gowns. It is a good place to start and find the style you are looking for. If you find a dress that you like I would suggest looking at other stores and doing some price comparisons. I loved my dress and was able to buy it off the rack for 40% off, so I couldn't resist. I also bought my earrings & hair piece (both by Rene Pawele)there, they were both a bit expensive (probably find something less expensive on Esty) but they were exactly what I was looking for. Rene is there several times a month and will also customize her products for you. Overall I would recommend Mon Amie. They are very knowledgeable $ professional. If you could avoid certain services like dry cleaning, alterations and buying a sash there I would. They wanted to charge me $180 for a sash. I bought the same exact brand of double sides ribbon for $15 on clearance and Mahtab made the sash for me when altering my dress at no additional cost.

Laura is a very talented seamstress. She can make pretty much anything you want and does a really good job. She is also very affordable. The BM dresses were $105 each which included her buying the material and all alterations. The only problem I had was the language barrier. Laura is more comfortable speaking Spanish and some information seemed to get lost in translation even though I had a friend help translate during our conversations. I would recommend Laura to anyone who wants to do their BM's a favor and get them cute, custom made, yet affordable dresses. I would also recommend that the Bride go with the first couple of BM's during their 2nd fitting so you can tell Laura and write down EXACTLY what you want. There was also some mix-ups with dates scheduled for fittings, etc. I gave Laura a 4 because she is so talented & I loved the way each dress fit the different BM's. Plan early and make sure either you or your made of honor stay on top of the scheduling & confirm several times.

Reverend Bob performed a perfect ceremony at our non-denominational wedding. He assisted us with different wording and ceremony options, as well as poems & verses. He is very flexible and mixed 2 different poems together to get the exact wording that I wanted for my sand ceremony. The ceremony was short yet special & romantic. He is also very affordable. I definitely recommended Reverend Bob.

Mahtab is an excellent seamstress! She is professional, reliable, flexible and affordable. My dress & bustle were absolutely beautiful!

Salvatore and Marcela were wonderful to work with. I have yet to see my pictures but they were very creative, patient and professional. They took tons of shots of the wedding party, family members & guests. They are very affordable compared to many photographers out there and accomplished a lot during the 6.5 hours I booked them for. I can't wait to see my wedding album.

Update: Great pictures but I just can't believe that we have been married over a year and are still waiting for out photo album!

Finally! We got our photo album in Oct 2010, almost 1 1/2 years later. It is beautiful and worth the wait! I think thatthey need to be upfront before signing contracts on how long their albums take.

My wedding cake was delicious! The three layers were red velvet, lemon squeeze and chocolate fudge surprise. The cake was super moist and everyone loved it. In addition to the great tasting cakes, the price is well worth it. No upgrades - all special fillings are included. I highly recommend Fantasy Frostings!

We had a beautiful ceremony & reception at the LBMA. The staff was great to work with, the food was delicious and the view of the ocean was breathtaking. Besides the museum and the fountain, the venue is a blank canvas that you can run with. If you are looking for a venue in Long Beach, I highly recommend the LBMA.
