The church has a chapel that is over 100 years old that you can get married in. It holds about 1,000 people so it is NOT small. But it is very elligant and requires little decorating. You can check out the pictures at www.michaelandtiana.com. It is a wonderful location and easily accessible from the 210 in Pasadena, California.

We rented the tuxes from Men's Warehouse. It was convienent to have all the groomsman be able to get fitted in their local shops and then just pick up the tux in Glendale California and not have to deal with carrying them on the plane. Also, the groom got a free tux... which was nice. The key is to lock them in on a price because the prices were almost $40 more per person if we had not locked in the price 7 months prior... so when you get a price you like - LOCK IT IN... they were very easy to deal with and professional.

Big Mama's in Pasadena was very easy to work with and created a menu for our guests to choose from. They are FAMOUS for their fried chicken and ribs. For dessert they are second to none for their pecan pies. The service was great and our family and friends still talk about how good that food was.

The Castle Green is absolutely amazing. VERY easy to work with and you have a choice between a garden reception or can eat in the ballroom area. There are several nice places for guests to hang out. You can check out pictures at www.michaelandtiana.com all of our reception photos came from locations at the Castle Green in Pasadena California.

We actually were going to skip the videographer ONLY because we only found people that wanted to turn our wedding into a tacky version of a MTV music video. If you are looking for a documentary style wedding video that is classy and will be timeless shot on HD and edited on Final Cut Pro an industry standard editing system then this is your guy. We received our final product in less then 6 months from the wedding... it would have been shorter but we had him create a 2 DVD set, 1 with the wedding and the other containing special features like the montages created out of wedding stills... and he even created a YOU TUBE version for our family to see. bill.darst@gmail.com is his contact info.

Nema can produce a first dance routine that fits your budget and style. nema2go@gmail.com is her contact information.

Pastor Bill Mead via Lake Avenue Church in Pasadena California was awesome! He worked with us on creating the ceremony we truly wanted.

Rob was very professional and a lot of our guests were amazed that they had awesome pics of themselves and not just the bride and groom. I would highly recommend him to anyone. You can see our wedding pics at www.michaelandtiana.com. The photos were available to view BEFORE we even got back from our week honeymoon.
