kristeen's reviews

I requested a swatch of a velvet aisle runner from them which I never received. I also called to get an appointment to see the showroom and got a call back from a very rude salesperson who was really annoyed I wanted to come in on a Saturday since I work full time. I decided to not stop by and see their merchandise.

Julie is my top secret waxer but I'll share her with all the PW ladies! Where else in LA can you get a $20 Brazilian and a $10 eyebrow wax?? She's good, she's cheap and while it's not painless, it's not unbearable. She's so worth it, I drive from the Valley to see her!

Once I saw Mrs. GG's bracelet, I knew I had to have one for my wedding. Dana was very easy to work with and her work is exquisite!

Natalia did my makeup for an event (as shown in the photo above) and she did a fantastic job! I was going for a super natural but still polished look. On top of her mad skills, she's one of the sweetest people I've ever met.

We went to our friends' wedding at the Bel Air Bay Club last weekend and Masta and the band performed. They were so awesome I wish we had gotten a band! They played a great range of music - from classics like "At Last" to more contemporary songs by Beyonce. You definitely should check them out :)

I ordered my Jim Hjelm bridesmaid gowns from Netbride and was really pleased with their service. I got a nice discount from the retail price ($175 for $360 gowns). However, I've heard they don't discount Jim Hjelm anymore. The dresses were gorgeous and came in about 2 weeks earlier than expected. I would definitely have them quote you on your gowns before you buy them from a store.

My SIL and I were airbrushed for her wedding a few weeks ago and we both looked great! Very natural, not orange at all. She's a lot paler than I am so it's hard to get a tan look without it being streaky and oompa-loompaish. I'm pretty tan from using a tanning bed once or twice a week - this just added to it and really sculpted my body. It lasted about a week but I had the primer applied before. Definitely go check them out if you want a natural color for your big day. I promise, no streaks and no orange!

Brad was the DJ for my SIL's wedding last weekend and he did a great job! (I'm leaving this review because I'm the one that booked him.) He was very professional; he didn't advertise his business like a lot of wedding DJs I run into. One of the most important things is that he didn't play anything on the "No Play List."

He does other stuff other than just DJ but he was hired strictly for the reception music so I can't really review him on that.

We rented our black pintuck linens and celadon napkins from Cloth Connection - they were gorgeous! They also had the lowest prices of anywhere local or that shipped nationally. They shipped everything right to my coordinator.

I <3 this resort. We can't wait to go back.

We had the room with the rooftop terrace/pool. So worth the $. Only complaint is that the water in the rooftop pool was cold but that's our fault for going in December.

The staff is awesome, the rooms were beautiful, the drinks were free. What more could you ask for?
