I found Robert on The Knot's LA board. I went to his website which has his fees listed. Because his fees were posted, I knew he was in our budget, so I contacted him. He was prompt in answering all of my emails and always polite and professional. At our wedding, Robert was so inconspicuous we had several bridal party members ask if we had a videographer! We are so glad we hired Robert. I am not a bridezilla but I do have very high standards and am very particular. Our weddingc video exceeded our expectations in so many ways. It was so tastefully edited. Everything from Robert's music selection to the way the footage was assembled was amazing. I gave Robert a few instructions, but he seemed to "get" our style and personalities. Without any reservation I would highly recommend HD in Vision. I am not sure how he keeps his packages at such a reasonable cost, because he could be charging so much more for the quality of work he produces. Run do not walk to book HD in Vision for your wedding.

I would definetly recommend Rainbow Lighting. They were willing to work with my budget and the lighting changed the whole look of my reception. I encountered the same thing that previous brides have mentioned in their reviews about changing prices from person to person. However, when all is said and done, they did their job well, my reception was gorgeous because of them. They were even a little creative when it came to colors of uplights. They didn't have a light pink, and I did not want hot pink, so they doubled over the "no color pink" gel to make it a soft pink and it turned out great. You will be so happy you went with Rainbow Lighting!

We were married in August, 2008 and held our reception at The Portofino Hotel & Yacht Club. When we chose the location, we were thrilled because after a ton of research this was the only hotel on the water in LA that could accomodate our budget. The location is out of sight gorgeous, the lobby is beautiful, we got some beautiful bridal portrait shots in the lobby. Which by the way, we had to sneak the shots because they don't allow pics in the lobby. After having signed the contract, I received 3 calls from the catering manager with whom we had toured with thanking us for our inquiry and asking us if we'd like to tour the property!!! Um, hello???? I just signed a contract and sent you a $7000 check!!!! Are you kidding? This was our first wake up call, that we'd have to babysit the Portofino because they are less than professional. They also lost a check that we sent, so we resent it..... They still were not able to "find" the second check I had sent, so I finally drove down to hand deliver it. The catering manager that we ended up working with, was so unfriendly and the attitude she projected was that she was doing us the favor, she never smiled. READ, READ and RE-READ your contract, to make sure you are getting what you are paying for. 2 weeks before my wedding they over-charged me for almost every single food and beverage item that was to be served at my wedding. I believe it was an honest mistake, but it's a good thing I caught it! The day of our wedding our food was extremely slow to be served, our guests became restless. There is much more I could share... Overall, my experience with this hotel was very negative and I could not in good conscience recommend The Portofino to future brides. Every single encounter with the staff here, was negative.
