Angelina was a superb makeup artist. She was professional, reliable, and super friendly. Our wedding day was quite hectic with 2 different ceremonies - an indian Hindu ceremony and a Western style ceremony. I had a hair and make-up change over in between and Angelina executed the hair and makeup for both ceremonies with ease. She was cool, calm, and collected, and helped us get through the very hectic wedding day. Do not hesitate to book her; her work is beautiful and her team of makeup artists who did my 7 bridesmaids' hair and make-up were very good as well.

Theresa was the best investment I ever made for my entire wedding experience and overall happiness and peace of mind! Our wedding was very unique as it involved multiple ceremonies and multiple cultures. My husband is Indian and I am Taiwanese, and our wedding was a fusion of both of the cultures. We had 4 events in total that needed to be managed during our wedding weekend - all of which were 100 person plus.

We had a 120 person Sangeet Menhdi, a 200 person Chinese Banquet Rehearsal Dinner, a 10 person wedding rehearsal, and a 320 person Hindu and Western style wedding day - all within one weekend.

The most taxing event was the wedding day itself, which was a 16 hour day with 2 different ceremonies (a Hindu Indian ceremony AND a Western style "American" wedding) and included a guest list of over 300 people. There were so many little details and cultural nuances that needed to be managed throughout wedding day, and the schedule had to strictly maintained in order to fit all the events in (2 ceremonies, pictures, cocktail hours, speeches, dinner, cake cutting, dancing, etc). Theresa did an AMAZING job keeping everything under control and following all the right cultural mores and protocals to make the events run smoothly. On the wedding day, there was an emergency mishap that occured when the ice caterer broke a pipe on the estate property where the wedding was taking place, and I didn't know anything about it or needed to worry about it all.

Theresa handled all the details large and small with aplomb and poise, never stressing the bride out and always keeping me sheltered from trouble on the big day. She was truly magnificent as our day of coordinator. She is flexible, adaptive and extremely sensitive to every person's needs in the wedding. In both the Taiwanese and Indian culture, it is customary that the wedding is as much of an event for the parents and family as much as it is for the bride and groom. As both of our parents were still very much rooted to their native Taiwanese and Indian cultures, they definitely needed special acknowledgement from a coordinator to adhere to some of their needs. Theresa was very aware of that fact and respected and followed all of the parents' quirky requests and cultural needs. It impressed me beyond words as my wedding was the first Hindu Indian wedding Theresa had coordinated, but with the way she handled everything, it was as if she had been doing Indian fusion weddings for a lifetime.

Beyond Theresa's amazing competency, professionalism, intelligence, and excellent management skills, she is just such a beautiful person inside and out. She is humorous, charming, kind, down to earth, and gets along with even the most difficult and demanding personalities. I felt like we became good friends in the short time we spent together during the wedding planning process (we started working together only a month out from the wedding). She is so real, so approachable, and you never felt like you were just "another client". Every meeting we had together, it was super productive and thorough. And being budget conscious, you cannot beat Theresa's rate. She was the most fair and best value among the 10 coordinators I interviewed.

Thersa truly made my wedding weekend so special and filled with many happy, happy memories! =)
