This was a real treat for a lot of our guests who'd never seen a lion dance before, or at least not so up close and personal. The performance was fantastic! Everyone really enjoyed it. Daniel was very professional, and worked with the space really well. The scroll we received at the end was beautiful :)

The Hong Kong Flower Lounge in Millbrae was recently taken over by the Mayflower Restaurant group, and that was the reason we decided to hold our banquet reception there. The food and service are excellent. Our guests LOVED the food, and the restaurant staff took really good care of us all. Highly recommend.

Jira and her assistant did an amazing job on our wedding day! I *loved* how my hair and make-up looked--it felt so natural, and Jira worked wonders with my hair--it stayed intact ALL day (6am-midnight!). She really knows what she's doing!!

Jira's assistant did our BMs' hair and make-up, and they looked fabulous as well. Many compliments, all around.

Great cake for the best price!! We go to the Cakery semi-regularly for cakes for other occasions and were very pleased (as ever) with our wedding cake. The woman we worked with was so helpful and energetic, and laid out all our options without pressuring us at all. She made very professional, honest recommendations, and gave us the best price for a beautiful cake. We received many compliments on how good the cake tasted! Highly recommended!

Lisa is amazing!! We worked primarily over email, and she was so helpful, open, honest, and patient. Her prices are fantastic--the best we found in our search--and she is so professional and attentive to detail. The flowers were PERFECT. I loved that she labeled all the bouts/corsages/etc. and gave detailed instruction on how to best keep them (we picked up some of the flowers the night before our morning wedding and she delivered and set up the ceremony flowers).

To be perfectly honest, the flowers were not originally something I was super concerned about, but after working with Lisa, I was very excited about how the flowers would add to the feel of our wedding day. We were thrilled with how they turned out.

The best price for our bridesmaids' dresses :) My only 'complaint' would be the absence of the option to order online. The staff were responsive to emails though, and the dresses arrived a bit earlier than expected, which was wonderful.

Sara is awesome! We worked with her primarily through email, and she was so responsive, flexible, patient, and accommodating. Her string trio played at our wedding ceremony, and learned four songs for the occasion. We received so many compliments on how lovely the music was, and how perfect it was for our setting (in a redwood grove). It was just beautiful!

It was so wonderful working with Sara--she is so friendly and professional. She truly made this aspect of wedding planning a breeze.

You will not be disappointed!

We ordered our personalized ring bowl from Paloma's Nest, and it is just perfect. Caroline is wonderful with email, and the quality of her work shows the talent and care she puts in each piece. Highly recommended.

Karen makes the most beautiful jewelry at etsy-fabulous prices :) I found a pair of earrings I loved, and Karen was able to custom make an identical pair for me with beads to match my wedding dress--they are just perfect! I absolutely love them!

Highly recommend kgarnerdesigns & etsy.com for jewelry and other handmade goodies!

Chris works with a number of metals, including Mokume Gane, Meteorite (really!), and Damascus Steel. We were looking for something special for our wedding bands, and were originally looking at Mokume Gane. It was really easy to get quotes on a number of different styles on the website, and ultimately, we decided to go with Damascus Steel bands.

Chris is very professional and passionate about his work. We're really looking forward to seeing the rings!
