I was referred to Christina by the Princess Bride sales associate who helped me with my dress. Christina did such a wonderful job with the alterations. I got my dress off the rack, and it was definitely not my size. I was concern on how well the dress will alter. She assured me right away that it wouldn't be a problem at all, and she was right. With my crazy schedule, we only had one month for fittings and alterations, and she made it work! I absolutely love what she did with the bustle as well. It is very simple.
At the last minute, she also made my veil. I absolutely love my veil. I just told her a general idea of what I wanted it to look like, and she took it to the next level. She definitely made sure that it complemented my dress.
She was also very sweet and easy to work with. She's been doing bridal alterations for 10+ years, so she really knows her stuff. She is very responsive as well and very flexible as I've had to change some of my fitting appointments.
Overall, I highly recommend her work.

Ms. Gilda was a GOD sent!
She made my bridesmaids' dresses all in one month! It was difficult because all of the girls are from out of town, so she just had to go by their measurements. She was very flexible as well! My girls arrived the week before the wedding and had their first (and only) fitting with her, and she only had to alter a bit of their dresses. She practically had all the alterations done in one day! She also charges very little for her labor. All I needed to do was buy the fabric.
To top it all off, she was also very sweet and easy to work with.
Overall, I highly recommend her work!

Chen from Chendit Video Productions was AWESOME!! He was very professional and such a hard worker! He came really early and was able to capture a few moments of me and also of the hubby getting ready. He also stayed all the way til the end! He was never in the way, which was really important for us.
Anyways, we weren't expecting to get our DVD for awhile, but to our surprise, we got our DVD in about a month after our wedding. Oh, and he sent us the highlights DVD about a couple of weeks after the wedding which was a nice surprise right after we got back from our honeymoon.
I absolutely LOVE the way he shot the footage and LOVE his editing work. He is very reasonably priced especially for the quality of his work.
There aren't any demos posted on his website since he'd rather send a DVD demo to his clients because it will show a better quality than posting it on his website.
We're so happy that we're able to re-live the different moments of our day because he captured all of it perfectly!!
I highly highly recommend his work!

We had the Trio played for our wedding because we have only budgeted for the cost of the Trio. Alex, the main contact person, was very professional and very responsive. He was also very helpful in helping me make a decision to go for the Trio. He talked me through whether or not I really need to have a Quartet play, and after he learned the size of my wedding as well as the location (indoor vs. outdoor), he reassured me that a Trio would be sufficient.
On the day of, the Trio played beautifully! I still have guests raving about how the music was so beautiful! I think that they definitely helped set the romantic tone that I wanted for the ceremony.
One info that I learned about the Quartet/Trio that is also helpful is that they are all performers (music majors in college), so this isn't just a hobby for them which means that they take their performance seriously.
I highly recommend their work!

Carlos from A Sunset Entertainment was great! When we gave him our list of song, he knew right away what type of music we prefer for dancing and for background music during dinner.
He was able to get everyone on the dance floor, which was great! He was very professional throughout the evening. He also helped the reception program to run very smoothly.
The only thing that I didn't care for was the fact that he mispronounced my name. I understand that I have a "different" name, but I felt that he should have practiced pronouncing my name or even have a cheat sheet for it. Other than that, I would recommend him as a DJ as he definitely helped set the party mood and made sure that we and our guests had a ton of fun.

Jacob was awesome to work with! He is such a hard worker and has a very artistic approach to wedding photography. We immediately love his take on photography after meeting him for the first time. After seeing the pictures from our e-session, we LOVED his style even more!
And now that we have received our wedding pictures, we are so glad that we chose him to photograph our wedding! We felt that he captured every moment of our day beautifully.
I highly highly recommend his work! It was fun to work with him as well, which was important to us.

The BEST and most AMAZING place for a venue!
Not only do they have a gorgeous location, but the food is second to none, and the service is top notch!
Their packet comes with a coordinator and a day of coordinator, which I desperately needed. The packages they offer may seem pricey on first glance, but you really do get MORE for your money! I love how everything is taken care off and all that we needed to do is sit back, relax and have a ton of FUN!
Lori (our coordinator), Heather (our DOC), and Ernesto were awesome to work with! They were very professional and know their stuff really well.
You should know however that your assigned coordinator (assigned to you at the first meeting) who helped you through all the process may not end up being your DOC. I was a bit concern about this since our main coordinator knew me (and knew what I like/dislike), and I just met our DOC during the rehearsal. It ended up being fine because Lori was actually there as well on the day of, but instead of attending to me, she attended to the other vendors and just overall making sure that things go smoothly. I actually think it works out better to have a separate DOC who attended to my and my wedding party's needs, and have a main coordinator who oversees the other technical stuff.
All of our guests are still raving about how elegant and classy our wedding was and truth be told, I don't think that our wedding would turn out that way if it wasn't for Turnip Rose staff's hard work!
I highly highly recommend this venue!

WOW! I was absolutely thrilled when I walked into the bridal suites and saw the bouquets for the first time! Gorgeous! If I had to pick, the flowers might just be one of my favorite part of the wedding!
Allison is very talented! She is also very honest with you and will tell you whether or not your budget is reasonable for the flowers or type of arrangements that you want. I had a budget in mind for flowers that I did not want to exceed, and she was able to talk me through certain things, so that my budget will work, and it DID! In fact, I was able to go a bit under my budget.
She was not pushy at all and was very helpful. When I first walked in for my consultation, I didn't have a very clear idea of what I want for my flowers. She really helped me figured out what would compliment the venue, my dress, my BMs dresses and would pull everything together.

I highly highly recommend her! If you're shopping around for a florist, make sure you contact her first!

One of the best vendors we had!!
The service was excellent, and the cake was beyond delicious!
The moment we walked in for a tasting, we knew right away that they would not disappoint! Claus, the owner, was awesome and very professional.
You can tell that he is very passionate about his work.
Our guests couldn't stop raving about how beautiful and delicious the cake was!
We can't wait for our anniversary cake!

Leah was AWESOME!! She did an amazing job with my (and my bridesmaids) hair and makeup and totally made my wedding day even better. Everyone look gorgeous that day.
She was recommended to me by a knottie, and when I had my trial with her, I ended up LOVING what she did with my hair and makeup.
Since I had to plan my OC wedding from Seattle, it really helped that Leah was really responsive throughout our back-and-forth email messages.
Leah was also fun to talk with and made getting ready with the girls a lot of FUN! She was also very easy to work with. One of my girls didn't like how her eye makeup turn out, and Leah (without any complaints) worked on re-doing her eye makeup to her satisfaction.
I highly recommend Leah's work!
