I love BJ's Brewery. I wanted to do a cheaper and casual rehearsal dinner since I already spent so much on the wedding. Cheaper doesn't mean bad food. Cheaper was actually more fun and food that people like to eat. At BJ's, if you have a special occasion, you can do a buffet of pizza, salad, appetizers, etc. There are different packages, with the cheapest one starting at about $12 per person. My friends and family loved it.

I booked my honeymoon to French Polynesia (Bora Bora and Moorea) with Julie at Blissful Getaways. We corresponded through email and met once to go over more details of the honeymoon. She did a great job of giving me the best and most information she could regarding the honeymoon. She was very friendly and easy to work with. She even followed up after the honeymoon to make sure that everything went as it should. Thanks Julie for setting up a great trip!

SMG Catering at the Aquarium of the Pacific catered my wedding reception. Everyone said that the food was great and that there was alot of it. It's too bad that I didn't get to eat more at my wedding :(

I got my wedding dress at La Soie in Tustin. The staff at La Soie are very professional, friendly, and are excited for all the brides. They made me feel very comfortable when trying on my dress. It doesn't get too busy here, so it's a nice place to go as compared to the big chains like David's Bridal.

We used Deluxe Limo for our wedding day transportation. They were easy to deal with for booking and had very reasonable prices. The driver for the day of was very friendly and did a great job of getting us to our destinations -- ON TIME! :)

I used Frosted Cupcakery for my wedding cupcakes. All I have to say is that all the cupcakes disappeared in less than 5 minutes. Everyone loved them and said that they were very good.

All the staff at Frosted Cupcakery are very friendly and easy to deal with. The do plenty of weddings. They did a wonderful job and I plan to use them again in the future.

I used Bumatay Studio for my wedding photos. They turned out so great! We are really pleased with the pictures. Greg Bumatay was very professional to deal with and has a good eye for great pictures and photos.

I can't wait to see my album with my pictures!

01/07/2009 I used Glow Concepts for my chairs and linens for my wedding. I worked with Eng. She was very nice to deal with and helped with many ideas for decorating my tables at the reception.

I rented my table linens, napkins, chiavari chairs and matching cushion, and charger plates from Glow Concepts. The set up with the linens, chairs and chargers made the decor at my reception so beautiful.

It is a bit pricey, but all worth it, as all of it really created a great look for the reception. I was very happy with what I saw.

Eng was there at set up to make sure that everything was how I wanted it to be.
Wonderful job to Glow Concepts.

Cheesy Photobooths was a hit at the wedding reception. All the guests loved it!! Sometimes it was hard to get people away from it. The guests loved taking pictures and got VERY creative with their pictures. It was a great keepsake for my husband and I as we were able to see everyone who was there and the great time that they were having.

Cheesy Photobooths offers unlimited pictures for a set amount of time, double prints (one for your guest to keep and one for them to put on a scrapbook page for you), and a CD with all the pictures that were taken that night.

Cheesy Photobooths provides the scrapbooking materials for your guests to create their scrapbook page.

I'd totally use Cheesy Photobooths again for a big party!

I just had my wedding at the Aquarium of the Pacific in November. It turned out great!! I worked with Sarah Roberts and she did an excellent job of coordinating my wedding reception. She was easy to contact through email and phone. But, I did most of my corresponding with her through email.

Everyone loved the reception and had so much fun. I heard alot of great comments about the reception at the Aquarium. My guests thought it was different (in a good way) as compared to having a wedding reception in a hotel ballroom. Another plus was that my guests were able to walk around the Aquarium to view the exhibits.

Another thing that I really liked about having my reception there was the amount of space. The reception area was nice and spacious. Tables were not smashed together.

The Aquarium is a bit pricey, but I'd say it was very much worth it. Oh yeah, everyone loved the food!! I got alot of comments on how great it tasted. (I had the buffet option versus the individual plated option). There was more than enough food for everyone.

5 stars for the Aquarium!!
