I recommend Flora by Fauna to anybody planning a wedding. Michelle really listened to everything that I wanted and gave me a lot of great recommendations since I'm by no means a flower expert. She was also willing to work with my budget. My wedding flowers were stunning! They really made the venue even that much more beautiful. I recommend calling her as soon as you know your wedding date because she does book up quickly!

We had a great time at LA Dance Experience. They cater to people who may not have a lot of dance skills, like my fiance. Mireille was our instructor. She's sweet and patient and really takes the time to break things down so the dance was easy to learn. She also kept things like the length of my dress, the height of my heels, the size of our dance floor, and the surface that we'd be dancing on in mind in putting our first dance together. Overall we love the choreography and it looks great. We initially signed up for the 5 lessons for $400. Ultimately we decided to add on a 6th lesson a few days before the wedding. That was because we didn't practice enough on our own at home. I thought we got alot for our money and I'm glad that we decided to take the lessons. It was a fun part of the wedding planning process and something different for us to do together as a couple.

I tried to set up an initial consultation with Alan Katz. We were e-mailing back and forth and he started taking longer and longer in between responses. Finally, I sent an e-mail suggesting a certain date and never got any response back. Four days later, he sends another response to the initial request I'd sent through their website asking if we'd found anyone and letting us know that he was still available. He clearly couldn't even remember who I was after just four days, even though we'd exchanged close to a dozen e-mails collectively in the week previous. He just seems to unreliable for me to want to take the risk of going with him even if he is on the cheaper side. You get what you pay for. Also he claims that he does unique, custom weddings, yet on their website they actually have scripts of their different ceremonies. I guess by "custom" they mean that they'll insert the bride's and groom's names in there.
