My fiance and I met with Jimmy and his assistant/wife Sen knew right away that we would go with them. His portfolio being photo journalistic style was just what we were looking for. Jimmy was very flexible, told us that we can customize the package. So the engagement session was included in the package when we took an hour out where other photographers would charge $500 for the session. Our engagement pictures were amazing and both of them were really fun to work with. Jimmy is VERY RESPONSIVE. Definitely saved me a lot of stress. Thats the last thing a bride to be wants is waiting for days for a vendor to respond. We also liked Jimmy's modern seamless albums and they were very reasonable priced as well. I loved working with Jimmy and Sen and couldnt wait for the big day. Jimmy and Sen were very punctual on our wedding day. They didn't take that many shots at each location of the hotel but the shots they took were AMAZING!!! I showed it to everyone and post it everywhere and I didnt stop getting great compliments. Jimmy and Sen are very professional and does not charge an arm and leg. Their work is amazing and they are very flexible. After my wedding I got some pictures posted by Jimmy and everything else was quick as well. I would highly recommend Jimmy and Sen to all my friends. He does great work for maternity shoots and portraits as well.

When we went for the cake tasting with Jodi -- we booked her right away!! Her cake flavors were unbelievable. Very unique and delicious!!! It was so good that we ordered a birthday cake for our sis in law couple weeks after that haha. Jodi was very good in presenting all the designs and guiding us. I wanted to use the brown and blue ribbon and she gave me a sample of butter cream and told me to try it on the ribbon since the colors might fade and not look nice. She was very honest and helpful with our decisions. She was ON TIME on the day of and did a great job. The cake was phenomenal!!! All the guests loved the cake plus we will get to eat it again on our anniversary!! Great Dane makes the best wedding cakes!!

Too bad Sasha doesn't really officiate wedding anymore because she was very pleasant to work with. It was a great honor to have her as our officiant. She was very flexible in want we wanted with our vows and program que. She gave us really good suggestions on certain parts. On the day of she was very relaxed and professional and we didnt feel any stress at all. We got great compliments from our guests. Our ceremony was quick and sweet. Definitely recommended if she decides to officiate again.
We started our account for the wedding party at the Cerritos Branch and they were HORRIBLE!!! One of the staff got us to sit and fill out some forms and he left for the day and told us this other staff will help us. This guy was like a trainee and never set up an account before. We waited so long for him to enter all our data and and HE GOT IT WRONG. mixed up the tie color. He couldn't even process our bill and the manager finally came to help us. Overall, it took us like 2 hours to get everything and out the door. So we never went back. So my fiance and his brother went to get fitting at the Huntington Beach branch instead and they were wonderful. Great service and they know what they are doing!! Highly recommended for grooms and wedding party to get their tux here. The tuxes even came in 2 days before the date they told us to pick it up.

I had a great experience with Linda. I pretty much just needed her for day of coordination but she ended up helping me with lots of things months before the wedding. Shes so sweet and SOOOOOO responsive. You will notice once you start communicating with wedding coordinators and how busy they are but Linda was really good in getting back to me with things and never made me frustrated and stress. She even recommended me my wonderful make up/hair stylist and also beautiful chair covers/sash. By Friday the day before the wedding at rehearsal I knew I was in good hands. Linda took over all the stuff I prepared for her and executed very well. I woke up on the day of and didnt feel any stress at all. I was so relaxed and chilled throughout the day and just worried about being pretty and celebrating. Linda and her two assistants were awesome. Everything just ran smoothly and even ahead of time!! After the perfect wedding was over - Linda and her assistants even helped me clear stuff and picked up all the stuff that was left behind and sent it to the honeymoon suite. she made sure we were happy and didnt have to lift a finger. Very pleasant and punctual and I loved working with her!!Great work!!

This was the first bridal shop i came to when I first got engaged. They are family owned and very friendly BUT I didn't find the dress I liked. We did come back here since it was so close to my sister in law's house and it was like 3 weeks till the wedding and we were looking for a flower girl dress for my niece. I called couple shops and they said I would need 4-6 weeks at least to get the dress in if I order from them. I freaked out of course and had to go running around to see if there was any off the racks that we liked but there wasn't since it all looked kinda old and worn since a lot of girls probably tried it on and above all they didn't really have a size 3. So as soon as we got to Jinny's - Jinny took care of us and told us there's a designer that could get it for us in a week and when she showed me the dress - my sis in law and I both said YES since it looked just like my wedding dress style but just the mini version. I custom made the bow so it would match my bridesmaid dresses and it all worked out. Less than a week we got a call from Jinny that the dress was there. We were so excited to see our cute flower girl in her dress. It worked out great and above all it was reasonable. Other places charged at least $100 for little girl dresses but Jinny was definitely reasonable. After my wedding I got my gown preservation box from Jinny as well since she was $50 cheaper than most places plus she even helped me putting everything together. Great bridal shop and not pushy at all!!

I first started working with a Catering Manager that was let go 6 months before our wedding. I didn't sweat at all because I was introduced to the Associate Catering Director and he was fantastic. He was way more professional and had the power to make things happened. I called him saying that we outgrew our courtyard that we booked and he changed us to the nicer and bigger courtyard immediately to accomodate us. I had a wedding coordinator and she loved working with him as well. On the day of - i was just impressed how everything ran smoothly and above all SERVICE was OVER THE TOP. You cant go wrong with a 5 star hotel. The food was just amazing as well since we had our food tasting ages ago. They just pulled everything together. Our guests couldn't keep talking about about the service and how delicious everything was. NOT to mention that the bartenders were awesome and did a great job serving us alchohol till midnight. Alot of people say there's way too many weddings at the Hyatt in Huntington Beach but seriously all the ballrooms are secluded and in their own privacy. I didnt bump into other parties at all. Despite that its such a beautiful hotel, the staff is just wonderful. The bellboys/valet boys were really quick and their service was great to accomodate everyone. I stayed at the hotel on Friday night the ony drawback would be my room was really far on the other side but that was due to the time i checked in because all my other 20 guests got rooms that was closer to the lobby-- its because they checked in on Saturday. The hotel was packed with tourists but we still had a lot of privacy. The honeymoon suite was amazing as well since it was oceanfront but me and the girls were lucky to get an oceanfront parlor suite to get ready in too and it overlooked our courtyard that we were getting married at. The weather was perfect, venue was perfect and it really added up to our wonderful wedding. Great experience at the Hyatt -- so great that we all met up the day after for Sunday brunch at Pete's Sunset Grill downstairs and food was really good as well!!

I've met Steve at our friend's wedding and have seen him in action. The MC he works with was a good friend of ours so we decided to go with High-Res for our DJ services.He's super nice and flexible and will play the songs that you request. He was very obedient in following your rules haha. He was very punctual and his assistant was very good as well. I gave him the entire songlist and he played it all night while we were on the dance floor. He was very good in suggesting us songs as well for the grand entrance, bouquet toss, cake cutting etc. I will definitely recommend Steve for future events. Loved working with him!!

I might be a little bias since Bernie is a good friend of ours and in is the wedding party as well BUT I have to say he did a great job on our flowers - my bouquet was really nice and so was the bridesmaids. I ordered a lei for me, the groom and his parents and it came out stunning!! Everyone said the orchid lei on me was very nice. He did a great job on the ceremony decor from the bamboo arch and flower decor on the pews. Even the flowergirl head band was very nice and looked really cute on her. TThe reception was beautiful because of the short and tall centerpieces that he made. It made the ballroom look really nice esp. with the uplighting that had similar colors to the centerpieces. The cake decor was really nice as well. ON TOP OF EVERYTHING - his prices were very reasonable and he is very flexible with what you want. I will hire Bernie anytime for flowers plus he was a really good groomsmen as well!!

I have to say Amy Tevis is the most awesome make up / hair stylist for a wedding. I booked her right away after I went to see her for makeup/hair trial at her place. She literally took like 20 mins to do my make up and i looked really stunning - i didnt agree with this after i got my engagement pictures which was taken that day after the trial. With hair she is quick and makes you look stunning as well. She is SOOO flexible and does how you want it and will change it until you are satisfied. Not like other popular stylists that charge you double and tries to convince you that you look good with what they want. Amy is so sweet and charges a reasonable price. On the day of the wedding she came with her hair stylist that will be working with my bridesmaids - man she is sooo good too! She made everyone's hair so nice even my mom who didnt have much hair and very soft hairlike. Amy did an amazing job with all our make up and on top of that she even put foundation on bikini lines, scars, moles etc. so eveyrone will look good in pictures! I had other friends in the suite and as soon as they saw us they asked Amy to do their make up as well. We all got really great compliments that day on our make up and hair -- Amy Tevis really knows how to do the magic and make you look beautiful on your important day! No sweat with Amy at all and shes very punctual and was even ahead of schedule. I loved working with her!!
