If there were a six-star rating, I would give it to Michael Norwood! Working with him was exactly what you would hope to have from a wedding photographer - he is fun to work with, reliable and responsive, and his work is stunning. He shot our engagement photos as part of our wedding package, and we were so delighted with them that we asked him to create a guestbook for us using the images. The guestbook came out amazing, and we got many compliments on it. On the day of the wedding, he took care to make sure that he got photos of every little detail of every moment of the day. The results are beautiful!

I highly recommend Design Visage in Newport Beach. I had Lauren as my hair and makeup person and she did a phenomenal job. They offer a test run so that you can see exactly what your hair and makeup will look like on the day, and they take photos so that they can recreate it exactly. Lauren also did my bridesmaids and mom's hair and makeup, and she did a great job on everyone! She was punctual, reliable, and fun to work with. I have also been having my facials done there by Maddie in the Newport Beach location and I plan to keep going to her even though my wedding is over!

The St. Regis is undoubtedly gorgeous, and their facilities are top notch. The food was exquisite, and their in-house bakery created the exact cake I wanted from a photograph. Our catering manager was similarly helpful and sweet. I can honestly say that I was very glad I had my wedding there. However, on the whole, the St. Regis has many customer service problems. They made multiple mistakes concerning our room block, the elements and prices for our event, and we had to move our wedding back three weeks when they booked our date out from under us after we had told them we wanted to book it. Worst of all, we never receieved an apology for any of this. The suite they gave us the night of our wedding was stunning, and we loved it and were very grateful for it, but when we went to check out, there was a $115 charge on the room that was not ours. They removed it, but we thought it was a fitting end to an experience that had been full of their mistakes. Finally, I would also add that their prices are outrageous, even for the quality of the resort. If you fall in love with its beauty like we did, just know that you will definitely pay for it!

Gillian at the Write Invite was very helpful, even though the printers made multiple mistakes on our invitations. It was great having someone to take care of getting all the problems fixed for us. Her prices were very affordable, and she even delivered a batch of fixed insert cards when the printer messed them up. Overall, we were quite happy with her.

I want to echo all the previous posts about Kerrie's phenomenal services. Our wedding on July 19 was everything we had hoped and more, and it's all because of her! From a year out, Kerrie was there for us with support, guidance, answers to questions, a cheerful attitude, and extensive knowledge. She was kind, classy, professional, and super responsive - I'd email her a question and 20 minutes later, the answer was there! She helped us find every vendor, saved us money, and aided us in bringing our vision to life. On the day of the wedding, she ran the entire show with the help of two assistants, both of which were delightful and totally on top of all the day's details. The day went perfectly, and I could not have been happier with the entire planning and execution experience. I highly, highly recommend her. Hire her now before she's not available for your date! She's the best!!

Christine and her team from the Spiraled Stem were incredible! They worked so hard on my flowers and the results were truly stunning. The wedding was two weeks ago, and people are still commenting on how beautiful the flowers were. On top of that, they were everything I had hoped for and more - Christine really got my vision and everything I asked for was executed perfectly. I highly, highly recommend the Spiraled Stem!
