My younger sister Myra is the owner and creator of Twigs & Honey and I cannot say enough great things about her work. She has quickly risen to the top of the best of the best list when it comes to wedding vendors. Her hairpieces and adornments are all original works of art. She takes custom orders and can create any palette of colors and materials. She works well within your budget and will work with you until you are 100% satisfied with your piece. She provided my hairpiece, veil and blusher, ring pillow, all bridesmaid’s hairpieces, and all the men’s boutonnieres. My hairpiece was so magnificent and completely my perfect bridal look. I wish I could wear it everyday.

They do not take reservations but we were able to “hold” a large separate room off to the side of the restaurant. The staff was great and they were so friendly to everyone. The food was delicious and even though I didn’t want to gain any weight the night before the wedding, I couldn’t help but eat a lot. The chef and manager came out to check up on us several times and make sure our night was going well. The room was large enough to seat 30 guests comfortably and the prices are reasonable. I can’t wait to eat there again!

This suite was extremely gorgeous. It came equipped with a full kitchen, bar, fireplace, Jacuzzi, great bathroom with large shower, and the most beautiful view of the beach. The balcony was large and you could almost touch the sand from there. The staff was friendly, the rooms were clean, and the location was perfect. The prices were reasonable and very much worth the view, which was spectacular. It was close to many shops and restaurants and the best part was that it was next to the Langer Outlets. We really didn’t want to ever leave. We would love to stay there again sometime in the near future.

The Hilton was amazing. We rented the Presidential Suite which had a master bedroom with a master bath, living room, dining room, bar, and guest bathroom. The windows were from wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling. The view was of Esther Short Park. I fell in love with the room immediately after viewing it. We used this room for the bridal party and I to get ready in the morning and the Hilton provided the men with their own parlor room suite. Not only did we stay there that night but we had our after-reception party there as well. It was large enough for all 50 of our closest friends and family to help us end the night. The hotel staff was very accommodating with us when we requested more and more chairs. We will definitely recommend this hotel to everyone.

The cakes turned out really well.

Laurie was great. She had 4 servers at the reception helping us with everything we needed. The food tasted so good. We chose heavy appetizers because of the time of the reception and we were able to choose any 8 or 9 items we wanted from her menu. She worked well within our budget and didn’t skimp on anything. She provided all our linens, plates, and silverware. She also packed all our leftovers for us. We had an after-reception party and were able to feed everyone there with all the leftover food. She was organized and well-prepared. We’re still getting rave reviews about the food.

Jeremy and Noah are in the process of forming a band, so I do not have a band name available. But Jeremy can be found on Facebook for now. Jeremy is the older brother of one of our groomsmen and Noah is a co-worker of his. They were amazing! We wanted something a little different from the traditional pianist/organist playing the wedding march, so we hired these fantastic guitarists. They were able to play every song we threw at them and played them all beautifully. So beautifully in fact that every time I hear my song that I walked down the aisle to (Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol), I get teary eyed. I cannot say enough of these guys. They were great and you should definitely consider them for your event.

Paul was so great to work with. He understood our budget and was able to work within those guidelines. He is easy going and makes being photographed a fun thing. It never felt awkward or uncomfortable. He’s posing you for portraits and also catching great candid shots. I never had to worry about where he was and if he was getting the beautiful photographs I wanted. We were unable to afford to bring his wife along as the second photographer, but he brought along an associate. She was also lovely to work with. They all have a great eye for finding the most gorgeous and flattering images and I would be happy to work with them again.

We are members at this church and everybody is so friendly and welcoming. We became members after meeting with our officiant. The location is easy to find, right off Highway 14. The sanctuary is astounding. The sound and lighting was amazing. The church has lovely doors at the front entrance as well as for the sanctuary. They made for a truly grand entrance for me on my walk down the aisle. They also had a large room for the bridal party and a separate room for the groomsmen. There are plenty of restrooms and easy access to every part of the church. Of course I’m going to say great things about this church because we’re members, but this church is truly an amazing place.

Pastor Bruce is a great man. He was the first person to welcome us to the church. We immediately felt at ease with him during our pre-marriage counseling meetings. It was a lot of fun getting to know him. He has a great sense of humor and had a lot of great advice for us. He knew exactly what he was doing at all times and we were never worried about how the ceremony would turn out. He was available for us whenever we needed and was very accommodating. He was open to any ideas we had and actually welcomed them.

Angie is Pastor Bruce Armstrong’s wife and she is fantastic. She helped me with everything. Every time I was worried about something not working, she was right there to fix it or to calm me down. She is so sweet and is full of wonderful ideas. She really made the whole process go smoothly. She is really organized and always on top of everything. She never pushed her ideas onto me, just gave friendly suggestions and gave me another point of view. It was a lot easier for me to think about the fun stuff, when I didn’t have to worry about the logistics of everything.

The reception area was large enough for 140 guests. There was 14 large round tables that sat 10 per table. There was enough room for people to walk around all the tables. They worked with us all the way through to make sure that everything was perfect and that everybody would fit in there comfortably. They even waxed the floors the night before to make sure everything looked just right. The kitchen is right off the side and there is another entrance easily accessibly to the catering truck outside. They had an easy time moving in and out. There were multiple restrooms on that floor and so it was great for everyone.

I applied my own makeup and she applied my individual lashes. They were purchased from Thi Cosmetics (www.thicosmetics.com) and they are they best lashes in the world for Asian eyes. They come with this amazing lash glue that stays put all day and all night. They even withstood a day’s worth of happy tears. The lashes do not have knots at the base which made them look seamless. They’re easy to apply with some practice, but it definitely helps to have another pair of hands and eyes. The best thing about these lashes are that they are shorter, so you don’t have to trim them down. They looked amazing, but still natural enough that no one knew I even had them on. They all just thought I had great lashes.
