ShopGirl's reviews

Exquisite Event planning was one of the few planners that we've meet with. As soon as we meet, I had a great feeling about them so decided the next day to book with them.

Carrie has great sense of design style, she's organized, straight-forward and very experienced in this wedding industry. They have also done many Asian weddings so they know what traditions and details to expect. Our overnight hotel room was also romantically decorated with all our belongings all properly placed and stored in room.

Carrie and her team of professionals were great. I don't know how we would've made the wedding a success without Carrie and her team. She listened to all our suggestions as well as giving her inputs. I would highly recommend Exquisite if you're looking for a great wedding professional with great sense of design and style.

We had to cancel our original wedding day photographer due to them not being able to provide samples of their work. So we searched frantically for another photographer within our budget of $2500 and under for an unlimited hours photographer. We meet with a few and then decieded on Michael S. Kelley since we liked his sample photos, he was within our budget and he also was very personable and professional. Our package included unlimited hours, 1 main photog, 2 shooters, all hi-res photos on CD discs, 200 hi quality 4x6 print outs.

Overall, Mike and Bev and team were a pleasure to work with. He listened to all our photo specs and also he made a few suggestions that helped to make things run more smoothly. Very professional service and photos were received on time as promised. Would highly recommend Mike and his team!!

I looked up the specific retail stores in the area for my specific Maggie Sottero gown and Marry Me Bridal popped up. They do carry a wide selection of wedding gowns priced from approx $600 to $5K+

They do get very busy on weekends and weeknights, so an appt prior is neccessary. Overall the customer service wasn't the best but not bad either. They also don't allow to take photographs of the try-on's unless dress is already purchased. My dress arrived 1 month ealier than scheduled, which is always a plus.

I had a tough experience w/ Angelina. I originally booked her for my wedding day hair/makeup and plus 4 bridesmaids on an impulse decision. After looking back on the trial, I wasn't too happy w/ the hair and makeup so I had called her later to try to transfer my $350 deposit to other family members since the deposit was not refundable. Angelina gave me a hard time about moving things around then later verbally agreed.

2 weeks before the wedding I received a call from Angelina stating that I was past due in payment but we had originally discussed that we would use the $350 deposit for 3 girls and that would all. She had stated that changes on services must be made 3 weeks prior wedding date on contract otherwise, the contact will be set after that. When we spoke verbally to agree on the changes she had never mentioned this. After a very rough discussion her being dishonest in her verbal agreement and contract we had settled for hair/makeup on 4 girls for a total of $480 and plus the $60 travel fee!! On the actual day, she did the makeup/hair for my sisters and MIL, which came out ok, nothing too outstanding but not horrible either.

Overall, it was a nightmare experience and I was not too happy with her un-professionalism and not honoring her agreements as discussed. Angelina was one of the worst vendor we had to deal with.

Response to vendor response:

Correction, I didn't ask for extreme demands, since i was not happy with the trial I simply wanted to to transfer my my $350 deposit for hair/makeup for my 3 sisters and 1 MIL which is not an extreme request. I NEVER asked for a refund NOR a huge discount!!!...as I was aware of the "No refund or cancellations" as stated on her contract. My wedding coordinator Carrie had even discussed the issues w/ Angelina via phone and she also gave her a hard time.

Nicole and her team delivered on the day of the wedding. Her prices are very competitive and affordable. I booked a package for the myself with additional hair styles change at 2 locations, 2 makeups, 3 hair for MOB and the BM's for total of $425.

The only down side is that Nicole's work in the trials are not that extensive since she does not spend too much time and effort on trials for some reason plus her English is a little limited. I was a little nervous before the wedding but no doubt Nicole does great work. I was very happy with the results. Nicole made me feel and look beautiful!

Overall, I was quite pleased with Nicole's work, I would recommend Nicole and her team for wedding day hair and makeup. Thanks Nicole!

Loved our wedding cake. We ordered a 4 tier mable w/ chocolate mousse and chocolate w/ rasberry bavarian with buttercream frosting. Cakey Bakery is one of the best wedding cake we've tasted plus our cherry blossom cake design came out beautiful and they are quite affordable! Highly recommended.
