We used Costco for our Honeymoon package to Tahiti, Moorea, and Bora Bora. Costco is not the cheapest you can get, but that is because their packages include more luxury accommodations. When booking always ask for the honeymoon package. We were able to upgrade to the over the water bungalow for very little!!!

We picked Men's warehouse because of all their locations and their quality is pretty good. My dad was able to measure up in OC at his convenience. With that said, they sent my dad's suit to LA rather than OC. I discovered this the day before my wedding; which needless to say resulted in a mini-meltdown. We drove in traffic to get my dad's suit. Men's warehouse did discount my dad's tux, but that could never take away from the mini-meltdown or the scene that I made as a result of the min-meltdown.

My husband and I were having a small wedding and booking a cornered off section of a busy restaurant was out of the question. So we opted to book with Furiwa. Besides the great food, we booked Furiwa because they have packages with local hotels. Our reception was at the Hyatt in Garden Grove. The package also included a coordinator. We worked with Cindy. Cindy was a great coordinator. Working with one coordinator for both the catering and the reception site made things simpler. I had enough vendors to work with, having one less made a huge difference.

Their packages are very comprehensive and included a night stay at the hotel.

Everyone commented that the food was delicious. In the end, it is was the guest remember the most.

It is true their dessert only consists of orange slices, but being Asian, I am used to that. Besides the real dessert is the cake.

Although I ultimately did not buy paper goods at Paper Source for my invitations, they are a great place to think of ideas. I got my wedding inspiration there. I did buy their stamps which are great ways to personalize your invitations.

Yummy and affordable. They do not have fancy designs, but if you are going for the simple look, they are the place to go. We livened our cake up with a cute cake-topper and a cake platform. Our guests were impressed that our cake actually tasted good.

Steve was one of our few vendors that I did not have experience with prior to my own wedding. We met with him and he was both professional and friendly. It was his passion in his work that lead me to book him. At our wedding day, he not only impressed us, but also my friend who eventually booked him for her wedding. He loves what he does and it really shows.

My first experience with Joyce was at my friend's wedding. Although, Joyce did not do my make-up and hair at that wedding, I was impressed by her work on the bride and her team's work on me. When it was my wedding, I had to book Joyce.

Unlike your typical make-up & hair person, she is not pushy. Her focus was on making me feel beautiful the way I wanted to feel beautiful, not the way she thought I should look. Her team did the same for my moms. Both moms were glowing.

The bottom line is that Joyce made me feel gorgeous on my big day and that is priceless.

After much readjustment to our budget, we were able to book Jose. And let me say that he was worth everything. Our wedding pictures are breathtaking. Jose is not just a great photographer, but he is a great vendor to work with. Book Early!!
