Our wedding had a touch of hawaiian theme. Having Nalu (a 4 piece acoustic island music band) play at our wedding was amazing. They had the right combination of music to keep everyone entertained.

We asked the band to sing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by IZ during our cake cutting... beautiful!! It couldn't have been any better unless IZ himself sang it.

I received so many compliments for having them as part of our wedding.

Mike was great. He put up with my husband's tendency to procrastinate and delivered a wonderful evening of entertainment.

Our wedding was a little bit off the beaten path with lots of live entertainment, a strict list of songs to be played at specific parts while keeping in mind that the music had to be background music during dinner and entertainment music during the dance. The schedule we had for Mike could have thrown anyone off... but Mike pulled this off beautifully.

Mike is professional and dedicated to providing you with an entertaining evening.

I wanted a venue that would give me a beautiful simple elegance. The Opera House pulled this off beautifully. I didn't have my bridal party photos taken here but the wedding photos that I do have of my husband and I here are absolutely gorgeous.

The staff was terrific. They made the whole process very easy. The planning started months in advance (I don't like waiting until the last minute to plan things) and Loretta and Tony accommodated all of my planning needs with great flexibility.

On the day of the wedding, I didn't have to worry about a thing. All I did was enjoy myself. I found out later that as the guests were arriving, my aunt and uncle spilled their wine on the table. They were panicking as they tried to salvage the table setting. But one of the staff members walked by, told my aunt and uncle that they will take care of it, and within 5 mins the table was replaced and everything was back in it's spot. That's what I call service.

Also, I'm a vegetarian and this always proves to be challenging at large engagements. Tony and his crew went out of his way to accommodate me with a great vegetarian dish (that did not consist of the staple portabello mushroom or eggplant - because I'm not a fan of either) and the many other finicky dietary needs of my family.

All of our guests had a great time. I would highly recommend this venue.

I can't say enough about Becky and Erika.

When visiting possible venue sites, I would browse through potential photographer books. Every time I chose the best photo book of the bunch and flipped to the back page to pencil down the potential photographer's information, it stated "Art of Emotion". We knew we had found our photographer. That was even more clear when we finally met Becky. She is a wonderful person, highly professional, and is very easy to work with.

I'm usually shy in front of cameras but both Becky and Erika made the experience easy. Not to mention the care they showed for me on that day. Becky made sure I remembered to eat and drink .. she even picked me up a milkshake on the way to the reception hall because it was such a hot day.

I must say, we have gorgeous photos of our wedding. I'm usually not the type to keep looking through photos but I can't help myself -- All of the photos are beautiful. And each photo told a story like a work of art.

We are very happy that Art of Emotion was part of our wedding day.

Jira did an amazing job. She was able to capture the exact look I wanted. The great part is that it lasted all day. She and her assistant were great with my mom and my mother-in-law. Jira and her assistant came with a great attitude and a fun loving personality. We all enjoyed the experience.

I also had Jira give me a hair-cut before my wedding day. My husband said it's the best it ever looked. I would recommend her without hesitation for your wedding or hair-cut services.
