Vivian at Tomato was recommended by my long-time hair stylist. Vivian and her husband own Tomato (located in Koreatown) and do bridal hair and makeup, wedding dress and tux rentals, and wedding photography. I think they can also custom make wedding gowns. My mom and I went to her for our make up and hair for my wedding and she was AMAZING. She is a perfectionist and has a great eye. We are pretty picky about our hair and makeup, but we were so happy with the results -- she made us look 100x better than we normally do. We were going to use a vendor that did my sister's and my mom's bridal hair and make up two years ago, who is ranked very highly, but she was just too expensive. I think Vivian did an even better job and my mom was much happier with the results. You have to go to her store in Koreatown for hair and makeup, but my mom and I didn't mind because it gave us a chance to hang out before the rest of the wedding day.

We are so happy we hired Damon! He is one of the nicest people, and is organized, professional, and trustworthy. He reads the crowd well and had everyone, including my parents (a huge feat) dancing all night long. He is a professional sound engineer too, so he did a great job with sound during our outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour. The night flowed really well -- he timed the required first dance, cake cutting, etc. perfectly. He was able to take any song requests too. All we wanted from our DJ was great music and everyone dancing and he accomplished that and more!

Brigitte was one of my favorite vendors. She is SO organized, professional, trustworthy, and calm and made us feel at ease immediately. I spoke with maybe 3 DOC before her and she was the best by far. She was able to handle our sometimes rowdy wedding party at the rehearsal and answered our endless questions before the wedding. We were able to enjoy our wedding because we knew that she would be able to take care of everything and handle any problems or concerns. It was great because whenever there was a vendor or guest question or concern during the wedding day, they would ask her and she would take care of it. She sends email reminders and checklists before the wedding day and will help you form a wedding timeline. I highly recommend her!

I can't say enough about how great Marlin and Marlene are. They took amazing pictures for our wedding and were very professional, nice, and fun to be around. They make you feel comfortable right way and have a great eye for artistic photographs. Many of our guests, vendors, and wedding party commented on how easy they were to work with and how nice the pictures turned out. They could easily charge much more. We wish we could work with them again!
