We went with After Hours because they were giving a discount on the tuxedos and two free airline tickets. However, there were so many problems with getting things organized and together, I wanted to tear my hair out. They had all the forms on little pieces of paper scattered around their shop, always busy, spoke to three different people on separate occasions, and no one knew what the previous had done..couldn't find the groomsmens' orders and got the tux order wrong for my dad. Then when my husband returned them, they tried to tell him they were incomplete and they had to get someone else to say that she was wrong. Didn't even get to use the free tickets either. You had to book a month in advance, pay at least 300 bucks a night for a hotel room that you don't get to choose, and have to stay so many nights. Oh well.

I went with Albertsons because I had heard a lot of great things about their wedding cakes. Everything turned out great and it tasted wonderful, but getting a hold of the baker was difficult. Mayda worked strange hours, and was rarely available to call. She didn't call or fax when asked. However, it turned out okay in the end, just with a few speedbumps.

Brady was very professional, and even with a few flubs (announced my flower girl's name when my bridesmaid walked in) he did a great job. Great for someone on a budget. He comes to your house or a Starbucks or something to meet you so you don't have to do anything!

I am using Full Bloom Weddings by Danielle Shields-Carter for my wedding on Saturday. She has been very helpful in answering my multitude of questions. She also does flowers. Her prices are incredibly inexpensive. For the Day-Of, it is only $950. Flowers are relatively good priced as well. :D
Danielle was my coordinator as well as my floral designer. I showed her several pictures of what I was looking for, my budget, and she produced amazing flowers. The bouquet was beautiful, the centerpieces stayed fresh all night long, and she even threw in extras to make the area look more special. Wonderful, wonderful job!

We were a bit hesitant about using Bella Pictures, because we wouldn't meet our photographer until about a month before the ceremony. However, Linda Lewis was an awesome photographer. They send you a bio with some sample pictures and you can change if you aren't meshing well with your photog. The booking agent I used, Nicole Taylor, was very sweet and accomodating, and we got a great deal with our package. I can't wait to get the pictures back! Because they were going to train a photographer to join the Bella team, we got 2 photographers for the price of one! Both ladies were wonderful.

This place is absolutely wonderful. The per person price includes 3 hours bar, all the ceremony chairs, mike, reception area, tables, chairs, linens, china, glassware, champagne toast, and the meal. We requested a brunch, which they don't offer everyone, and it was amazing. Everyone said how beautiful the location was and how great the food was. It is up in the hills off of Kanan Rd. A little known secret, a wonderful treasure.
