mandm's reviews

While not exactly as was described, I was quite happy with the finished product. I used Lynn for our chair covers and head table backdrop and thought the quality of her materials were quite nice compared to others I have seen at other weddings.

Great rental company, smooth transaction! Everything came in time and as described. I have no complaints!

The BEST thing I had at the wedding! All of the guests raved about the photo booth and now want it for their weddings! The quality of the photos were fabulous and the attendant was great! The only thing that bummed me out a little was that they didn't use the logo that I had initially sent them for the bottom of the photos. Otherwise, great vendor! Best money spent!

I met with Mai and she wasn't entirely personable but I chalked it up to all of us having bad days. She seemed very organized however and very calm. After a few weeks, I was shocked when I finally received my quote from her for day of coordination services and very very simple floral services. While I am sure she does a nice job, I don't think her price point was very realistic.

Thuy works from home and does such a fabulous job for a very reasonable price! She altered a friend's wedding gown beautifully and added a 20 point bustle to it that looked amazing! You could tell she is very precise, honest, and helpful. I took my wedding dress and evening gown in and she gave me an excellent quote. She also took care to make sure she did the alterations the right way, rather than cut corners like other alterations places had tried to sell me. I had previously seen reviews about her on yelp, and I was skeptical because they were all so positive. I'm not skeptical anymore because my experience with her has been fabulous so far! I would highly recommend her!

I ordered my wedding ao dai online at www.aodaivinh.com hesitantly but figured it was cheap enough that if it didn't work out, I could at least use the fabric and have a local tailor fix it for me. To my surprise, when the the ao dai came (within 2-3 weeks after ordering and made to my precise measurements), they were perfect and fit me like a glove! They also looked exactly like the pictures on the website and their fabrics were fabulous!... even nicer then the ones you can get locally.

The only thing they lacked was communication after ordering from when I received the dress. They did initially send me an estimated arrival time when I first ordered, and in fact, it came in a few days early! I also emailed them a change to my order a few days after the order but they never responded so I figured it was not possible to change, but when it arrived, the changes were made at no additional cost to me!

All in all, I would highly recommend purchasing an ao dai through aodaivinh.com. The quality and workmanship was perfect and they came in at 1/4 of the prices of the local stores in town.

We had an ao dai made through Hanh's Tailoring for my Vietnamese Engagement Party. We picked out a beautiful silk screen fabric for the dress which cost more than the dress itself, so it worried me a little because I knew it would be delicate. They handmade the ao dai to my custom measurements. I was a little disappointed because with the first fitting, it was way too loose. I figured it might have just been because I lost a lot of weight, but rather than remeasuring me, they just said they would make it tighter. After coming back again and having my mother request that they make it a little bit tighter, they still did not remeasure me. When I came back after it was "fixed", it was too tight. When I told them that it was tight and I needed the dress done by the end of the week, they told me not to eat at my engagement party or to just lose weight by weeks end! When I went home, I noticed that when they took the dress in, they ruined the fabric because it was silkscreened and you could visibly see where the thread marks use to be. On top of that, because the dress was too tight, it pulled the fabric even more, making the holes in the thread more visible! My mom tried to take it back but they wouldn't fix it in fear that the thread holes would look worse if they tried to fix it again.

In the end, I give them 3 stars though because the ao dai looked beautiful in pictures. I am just disappointed that they didn't take more care in the alterations since the fabric was so expensive in the first place and was pretty much ruined.

For 1/4 of the price, I had a much better experience with Ao Dai Vinh online which makes Ao Dai's in Vietnam made to your custom measurements.

We had Quang Bui do our photos for our Vietnamese Engagement Party. He came on time, took our pictures, and helped us through the customs and traditions since both families were fairly new to the whole traditional Vietnamese wedding thing. While he isn't the most savvy photographer out there, he was very affordable and really knew his Vietnamese wedding traditions. He was worth the money in coordinating everyone in itself! He gave us all of the digital images in the end, and the photos printed out as 4x6's and placed them in an album for a very affordable price. When we went to his studio, all of his samples were from the 80s and 90s so I was really worried about the outcome but our parents insisted we have a "professional" photographer so we booked him. Suffice to say, I didn't have high expectations of him considering the price we paid, so I was pleased with the results. If photography isn't a huge priority for you but you just need someone to do the traditional Vietnamese shots, I would definitely recommend him. He was very nice, patient, and seemed very trustworthy.

I ordered two dresses through them, one wedding dress and one bridesmaids dress and they both came as described and one month early too! While initial communication from them was lacking with only one email confirmation after I made the order, two months later I randomly got an email in my inbox from UPS that there was a shipment for me. The dresses were clean and gorgeous when they arrived, although the packaging was nothing to write home about. All in all, the prices were great and the vendor was trustworthy. I couldn't ask for more!

Sadly, I will not be ordering her cupcakes for my wedding because her delivery charge was upwards of $250 to go to the South Bay! :(

I LOVE Sibby's! Her cupcakes are cute, moist, and delicious! I especially love her mini-cupcakes. Vanilla was my favorite, but Grandma's Tea Cake is very popular. You really can't go wrong with any of them though.

I ordered her cupcakes once for an office party and have been thinking about them ever since! I knew the moment I had the very first bite that I would want her cupcakes in lieu of a wedding cake. The FI happens to love Kara's Cupcakes, so we'll be having a cupcake-off at the wedding. I'm very excited!

When I ordered cupcakes from her in the past, she was very responsive and asked specifically what sort of colors and designs I wanted. The cupcakes were delivered promptly and were fresh. I have yet to have ordered for the wedding, but my experience in the past has been great. I would highly recommend!
