Rossmoor Pastries did our cake. It was beautiful, economical and tasted great.

My makeup was done at Bella Salon in Long Beach, I don't remember the ladies name that I worked with but I think she's the only one there. She was pretty pricey, I think I paid about $250 ish, but she did a great job

Cara with Custom Studios was our photographer. She did a fantastic job. They were really great to work with and worked with our budget. If you would like to look at our pictures we would be more than happy to share them.

My friend Erin Knuth was my wedding planner, florist etc. She doesn't do it professionally but is great at it. If someone is looking for someone to help with pretty much anything to do with planning, she would be interested in helping them and would be a lot cheaper.

Our Ceremony and Reception was at La Palapa Del Mar in Long Beach. The Ceremony was on the beach and the Reception was inside. It was really nice to have both at the same place. I thought they did a fantastic job, the room that we had it in was beautiful. It is very burgundy so colors should be planned accordingly otherwise I don't think the room would look good. For instance the planner at La Palapa told me that someone had done a Tiffany Blue theme the week before and that it just looked awful. The owner Bear is somewhat difficult to work with, but her daughter Elizabeth is fantastic. They are your wedding planners for the day of and do a good job keeping everything organized.
