I never met Young until the day of our wedding and he was fantastic. Young was referred to me by several other brides. After several emails, I was comfortable hiring Young without meeting him. He is very responsive; I always received a reply from him with in 24 hours of emailing him. He was always polite and professional and answered all my questions. He offered to send me a video of a complete wedding he did so I could view his work and I received the video two days later. It was beautiful. I immediately knew he would be great. His prices are very reasonable. On the day of the wedding he was fantastic. He was a very hard worker and stayed until the very end capturing every moment. We haven’t received the video yet but I know it’s going to be great. We are very happy and glad that we hired Young. Young is in the Orange County area.

I love Kim! She was absolutely wonderful! She is such a great person to work with and we had a blast taking photos with her. I hired Kim about a year prior to my wedding from a bride's recommendation and I am so glad that I did. She did our engagement picks which were awesome so I was confident that our wedding picks would be even better and I was right. Not only are her picks fantastic but she is very inexpensive. Also I got a 2nd photographer for free! She called me two days before my wedding and said that she had another photographer who was working with her and that if I approved she’d like to bring her along which basically meant more pictures for me at no additional cost – like I’d say no to that. Also you don’t have to buy the rights to your photos. In all of her packages, Kim includes a CD of all of the digital negatives. I can’t say enough wonderful things about her. If you are still looking for a photographer, you MUST hire Kim! She lives in Carlsbad and does weddings in the Orange County and San Diego areas. She travelled to my Palm Springs wedding for only $50 extra to cover the cost of gas.

Mary was another fantastic vendor. We weren’t having the florist do any decorations. We just used her for all of the bouquets, bouts, and corsages. I took her pictures of what I wanted and she created our flowers perfectly. She is very sweet and a joy to work with – highly recommend.

Another fabulous vendor. We met with Jeanette for the tasting and we had so much fun. We tried all the different cake flavors, fillings, and frostings. This was definitely DH’s favorite vendor meeting. We got a 3 tiered caked and in each tier was 3 cake layers and two fillings. The bottom tier had 3 cake layers consisting of white cake, chocolate cake, and another layer of white cake. The cake layers were separated by raspberry jam and raspberry mouse. The middle and top tier were the same as we were saving the top tier for the next day – 3 layers of lemon cake separated by a lemon curd filling and a cream cheese filling. The cake was delivered on time and was exactly what we had envisioned. It was beautiful and the taste was fantastic. They charge anywhere from $4 - $8 per slice depending on how you want it decorated. We had it decorated with ribbon, dots, and our monogram and were only charged $4 per slice. They also charge a $75 delivery fee. I highly recommend Pastry Swan.

We couldn’t be happier with our choice of location. It was absolutely PERFECT! We were married on the golf course in front of a lake with a beautiful mountain view – it was breathtaking. Our site coordinator, Shalene Tirado, was awesome. She was there every step of the way through the planning process and made sure that everything was taking care of. She far exceeded my expectations. After the ceremony, our guests were escorted to the covered patio where they enjoyed a cocktail hour with hors d’oeuvres. They were then moved inside for the dinner/dancing reception. The wait staff was wonderful and the food was AMAZING. The presentation and taste was just wonderful. Everything was outstanding.
