We hired two bartenders from Two chicks and a Jigger for our wedding and they were fantastic! They set everything up super fast and knew exactly what they were doing. They were also so sweet and friendly. We also saved a lot of money by providing all of our own alcohol and hiring bartenders. I highly recommended doing this if you can.

Thanks to MissMandy's recommendation I also hired East Side Mario's for my wedding. All I can say is WOW! They were incredible, so much more than I expected, and we saved so much money. If you can find a venue that allows you to bring in your own caterer, this is the way to go. My fiance is not crazy about italian, so we got the Tri Tip, Chicken, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, Garlic Breadsticks, 3 salads (Caesar, Italian and a Field Greens with Gorgonzola and Balsamic). We also had 3 passed appetizers (stuffed mushrooms, spinach artichoke dip and bbq chicken puffed pastry). They provided all table lines, water glasses, Servers, 3 types of non-alcoholic beverages (punch, iced tea and lemonade) in adorable glass containers, coffee service, and cake cutting. We looked at a lot of venues with $15,000 food and beverage minimums on a Saturday night. We spent less than $4000 using East Side Marios, and thats including tax and service charges. Everyone loved the food and was very impressed with the presentation. They know what they are doing and you won't have to worry about a thing. It is the price of a restaurant but the experience of a full service caterer. I would recommend them to absolutely anyone without hesitation.

We used Torrance Bakery for our wedding cake. We got a cake for 125 people for about $400 and it was fantastic! We got marble cake and chocolate cake with chocolate fudge chocolate chip filling and buttercream frosting. Everyone has been raving about the cake. It was delicious!
