Melody Walker was the coordinator for my wedding in Pasadena, CA on December 10, 2006. She did an absolutely amazing job. Everything went very smoothly, and we did not have to worry about a single thing. She coordinated with our vendors, created a timeline for the day, assisted us with contracts, gave us tips on all aspects of the wedding, ran the rehearsal, assisted in decorating our site... she did everything! And the thing that I love about Melody is that it's like having an extra mother - but a mother who happens to be an expert in weddings! She was less like a drill sergeant (like some of the other coordinators we interviewed), and she really put her heart into our wedding. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

While she is located in Orange County, she also does weddings in the Los Angeles area and beyond.

Imagine Productions just shot my wedding in December in Pasadena. They were absolutely wonderful to work with. Geoff and Jennifer make an awesome team, and they are so friendly and professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Our finished videos are fantastic. I would highly recommend Imagine Productions.

They are located in Orange County, but they also do weddings throughout the LA area (and probably beyond?).

Vince Torbey played piano during my wedding cocktail hour. He was absolutely incredible. He is an extremely talented musician, and he was one of the most professional vendors I interacted with. He plays music of all kinds - jazz, classical, modern, Christmas, etc. Vince was there early, let us use his sound system, played for the cocktail hour (the guests loved it), and sent me a follow-up email. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He was definitely a hit!

We used the one in Glendale and then picked up in Pasadena. Everything worked out great.

Andrea Steele did my bridal makeup and makeup for the bridesmaids and mothers. She did an absolutely outstanding job - exactly what we wanted. Andrea is such a sweet, professional person, and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Her prices for us were $75 for bride and $50 for mothers and bridesmaids. And I got my trial free because she works at a MAC store and I went to the store.

Mike was the DJ for my December 10, 2006 wedding in Pasadena, CA. He did a fantastic job. He was extremely professional, friendly, and fun. Our crowd absolutely loved him, and he got most of the crowd out of their seats for the whole evening. At least a couple guests requested a song that was on our "do not play list", and he told them they would have to get my ok before he would play it. (In the end, we did it, because it was the chicken dance, and my 9-year-old niece was DYING to do the chicken dance!) I cannot recommend them highly enough. Professional from beginning to end.

Duxbury's catered my December 10 wedding at Castle Green in Pasadena, CA. They did an outstanding job. Their staff was friendly and helpful - constantly went out of their way to help my guests (and my parents!). The food was delicious, and they gave us a very reasonable estimate for the cost of the reception food. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Outstanding... very professional... a pleasure to work with. And I personally interacted with Mark Duxbury, and I found him to be very professional.

I'm sorry that a former poster had problems with them, but I thought it would be helpful to post my positive experience.

I got Jenna's information from this site, and I emailed her for my wedding. She did all of the hair for my wedding - me, the mothers, the bridesmaids, etc. They were all gorgeous. She did a fantastic job, and her prices are great. She is such a sweet person and an absolute pleasure to be around. I would highly recommend her to anyone. I can send you pictures of our hair, if anyone is interested.

I bought my dress here. They have tons of dresses to try on, but they are very over-priced. And the women who work there (with the one exception of the blond) are extremely rude. I would not recommend that anyone buy a dress from them (even though I got mine there). They were rude to us until we decided to buy something, and then they suddenly became friendly. You should treat customers well regardless of whether they hand over cash to you - very unprofessional.
