Rparris's reviews

Amazing team of stylists and make-up artists in a tranquil setting. Marco has always done my hair and for my wedding there was no question that he would be the best. I had an idea of what I wanted, but as always, I let him have a little liberty with the idea and it was so very worth it.

I got my centerpieces, bridal bouquet and boutonnieres from Art of Flowers. They are very unique in their concepts and easy to work with. I have used them for flower arrangements in the past and been very satisfied and this was no exception.

I found the attendants at David's Bridal Outlet to be less than interested in the customer and their perception of what a bridal gown "should" look like and more in selling the first gown they pulled off the rack. I was so not impressed that I decided to go to another bridal store all together.

Alfred Angelo has an amazing selection of bridal gowns, however they can be difficult to work with if you give them short notice. They do not have any inclination to work with other Alfred Angelo stores and that makes getting items quickly very difficult. They are very traditional in their ways that a dress should be ordered 3 - 6 months in advance and a veil and shoes 6 - 8 weeks... NO EXCEPTIONS. In the end, after quite a bit of badgering they were able to get it done in 3 days!!

The eight million dollar Artesia Club House itself has the look of a palatial Mediterranean estate: two stories of sheer pleasure and self-indulgence.A Great Room for parties, elebrations and movies. A sports lounge with billiards and cards. A demonstration kitchen that will have top chefs leading you on marvelous culinary excursions.

Outside on the recreational plaza is a wonderland of bubbling fountains and sparkling pools. For those who want a tranquil, romantic experience, there is a majestic oval pool surrounded by private cabanas. Perfect for both ceremony and reception.

They can be a little difficult to work with but persistence is a virtue!

We wanted a very specific cake - nothing traditional! Gloria (the owner and cake maker) with only a week to go, put together all the bells and whistles and custom designed the cake EXACTLY as we wanted it.

I did find the charge for the photographer, for very limited hours, a little pricy, however in seeing the website and the quality of work.. it is all worth it. They provide either a CD or an album (or both) and all of your prints online for a year and an e-commerce website for purchases made by friends and family. With very short notice they were able to put something together and work with me!

We walked in without an appointment, 4 days before the ceremony and were met with nothing but professional service. They have a huge stock of different overlays, table cloths, chair covers and ties, etc., and offer delivery, even on short notice.

Even though we just wanted a small, civil ceremony, Forever in Love also provides an a la carte listing of other services such as professional photographers, rentals, cakes, music, etc. making it an easy one-stop-shop for professional service.

Chef Elisa has catered almost every even that we have ever had for the past 8 years. She is amazing to work with and always has incredible food ideas. She also has an array of preferred suppliers for party rentals and such that she works with. As soon as those suppliers here her name, they will drop everything and anything else to help her and her client!! She can do as little or as much as you would like and always helps in other aspects of the function. I recommend her, and her AMAZING food, to anyone!
