These guys are the world's best DJs and I can see why they do hollywood events. Everyone is still raving about them even months later. They had everyone dancing and I never ever felt like we had the cheesy wedding DJ. We didn't get them a playlist but rather a list of the kinda stuff we like and they orchestrated the rest which was phenomenal. They are hip and know every kind of genre out there....they are true music lovers. I cannot even explain how awesome they were. I know finding a good DJ is hard so here is your lucky day *lol*. By far one of my favorite vendors from my wedding.
Aliso Viejo, CA
His work speaks for itself. He is such a talented photojournalistic photographer and to top it off a great guy! If you are on a budget I suggest booking him before his prices go way up as his popularity grows. Cannot go wrong with Michael as your photographer.

Located in Costa Mesa right next to the OCPAC. It is the perfect size for anyone with a guest list around 150ish. The food is amazing and the place itself is impressive.
UPDATE:
We are three days out and I can tell you this place has been a nightmare to deal with . I do not suggest giving yourself the headache of dealing with them....they are full of unhappy surprises. This place put me in tears multiple times because they said one thing and then when its too late they tell me another. I HIGHLY DO NOT recommend them.

I thought I wasn't going to be able to afford lighting because I had gotten so many ridiculous quotes.......until I met Jonathan. He was so nice and accomodating and his prices are VERY reasonable for lighting. If you are on a budget and still want lighting call him ASAP before he gets too busy and prices go way up and let him know Crissy referred you so hopefully you will get great prices.

Well let me tell you I tried sooooo many different cakes in this process and did not find what I was looking for until I met Thierry. Most cakes were too sweet or left an aftertaste YUCK! I wanted something that left your mouth asking for more and that is exactly how I felt when I tasted his creations. He is a French pastry chef that takes great pride in what he makes. If you are looking for a cake that not only wows with appearance but also with taste then I highly suggest going in and meeting with him and tasting his to die for desserts. If you call be aware that most there speak with a French accent and you do have the right number just make sure you ask for Thierry.

I really have enjoyed working with the ladies of Merci Bouquet they are just so creative and sweet. I had a hard time finding a florist that had a good eye for what I was looking for without telling me bring in an exact picture of what you want. I am super picky about flowers and Tiffany got my vision right away. They are very reasonable for the quality and beauty of the arrangements that they make. If you have a chance stop by and meet with them or check out some of their work on their myspace page under merci bouquet.

Ok so I have been just listing the vendors I am doing without some sort of review about them....I just want to help out any bride on a budget because it is sooo darn expensive!! Anyway if any of you are still looking for a DOC I highly recommend getting in contact with Betty she is so organized and warm such a hard balance to find. She has been helping to keep me on track since I am so disorganized especially about timelines! Definitely if you are in the early planning stages hire someone to help you because it becomes so overwhelming towards the end with all the little details.
