ath2008's reviews

My husband and I hired Mike Sagun from Elite Beat Deejays for our May wedding. From our first e-mail exchange, I knew we would be in good hands with Mike. He really made me feel like his #1 priority was to ensure that I had the best day of my life. It was a breath of fresh air from the other vendors that I was working with that were money hungry and treated my wedding as just another business. He had a very personal approach and I really appreciated that. Other things to note:

1. Before signing, he had no problem meeting at our venue in San Francisco to address all the concerns that I had.

2. After signing the contract, my over-bearing parents and in-laws insisted that I hire a bilingual MC for the reception. Mike completely understood and instead of making us eat our deposit, he agreed to play the music for our ceremony and cocktail hour.

3. On the day of, he arrived early to set up and was completely inconspicuous. He played the songs I requested and the sound quality was great.

It was really unfortunate that I was not able to have him MC the reception, but I have so much confidence that he would have done a great job. I would highly recommend him to my friends and family.

After reading many great reviews about Jira, I decided to do a trial for my engagement pictures. I was very pleased with the result and decided to book her for my wedding. I was just about to send over my deposit when she informed me that a client she had booked on the same day needed her for the whole day, so she wouldn't be able to do my hair and makeup after all. I was very disappointed but she was very apologetic and offered to give me a free trial with another artist on her team. I had nothing to lose so I accepted the offer and Jira introduced me to Rachanee at her studio. Rachanee was very sweet and talented. She has a similiar style as Jira and I went ahead and booked her for my wedding. I was very pleased with Rachanee and the WowPretty team. They did an amazing job on me, my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother in law.

My FI built my e-ring on Blue Nile. When it came in, the band was thinner than he expected. The diamond itself was gorgeous and such a great value that he decided to keep the diamond but return the setting. Customer service was excellent and the return was painless. He uses Blue Nile all the time now for gifts to his mom and me!

I purchased his wedding band on Blue Nile as well. We are very happy with it and he can't wait to wear it!

What can I say about Netbride that hasn't already been said? Nothing! I'm another satisfied Netbride customer!

I received my cheongsam last week. I corresponded via e-mail with Sally. She was extremely prompt with replies and was very helpful through the whole process. I got lucky with the measurements I provided because the dress fits perfectly. You do have to be careful when measuring. I used the guide they provided on their website and measured conservatively because I figured it would okay if it came in a little to big because I could always get that fixed. And you can't beat the price...I paid under $100 including shipping!
