SCG is the most awesome deal we got for our wedding and our favorite souvenir. We really wanted a video of our wedding day, but found everyone's demo tapes to be very cliche and poorly edited or filmed. We wanted something interesting, cutting edge, and modern, and SCG delivered.

Their bottom-line package (in 2005 it was the lowest; now there are other options) is called I Can't Believe It's Not Spielberg! and it was (and still is) $1995, a total deal compared to everyone else because it comes with something like 30 or 60 hours of editing, standard! Most other places came with less than 20 hours total. You can tell, too, when you see the demo, that more time goes into these videos. You also get to proof the video and ask for music substitutions or scene deletions; there won't be many, though, because the starter questionnaire asks you about your style, music tastes, and stuff you want them to focus on or not focus on.

Yes, they have a particularly identifiable style (which I discovered when my friend whipped out my DVD with her face on it and played my highlights video with her in it), but if you are looking for something different than 99% of the videographers out there, you will love SCG. Unfortunately they don't have standard pricing in California anymore, but for those of you more south and east of CA, you should check these guys out!

Everything the others have written about Anita is true! In 2005, we found Anita and knew right away that she was our top choice for flowers. She is down to earth and creative, listens to you, and delivers on everything from that instant first impression your guests receive as they arrive, down to the smallest details you would never even begin to think of.

My favorite thing about Anita is that she was real with us, and talked about details and choices that would allow us to stay in our budget while creating the image we wanted. I brought her a picture from a card and said "I want this for my bouquet and this is my budget." She looked at it and walked me through how available and how expensive these flowers would be, and what types of alternatives we could use that might be more readily available, as well as ways to extend this bouquet look to the rest of the wedding flowers (which I had thought much less about). She did a spectacular job with this freedom and I always felt comfortable with her confidence and direction, whereas with other vendors I felt I had to specify things down to the smallest detail. Not only did we love our flowers, we got numerous compliments from our guests about them, too!
