Next Level Entertainment is totally awesome. Our reception rocked the house! I met Lionel at a bridal show and I instantly felt comfortable with him. He was very helpful through out our wedding planning process, always offering suggestions and recommendations. He is a talented and professional entertainer. If you're looking for a real party at the reception where everyone gets 'low low low' on the dance floor, you need Next Level Entertainment!

We ordered a 3 tier buttercreme cake with 3 different flavors. I brought a picture of the cake design I liked, and they made it just as I expected. It was delicious and beautiful. The buttercreme was smooth unlike other wedding cakes that appears 'holey'. We were required to paid a $50 deposit for the cake stand and $35 for delivery to Pasadena. I didnt return the cake stand till 2 months later, the bakery didnt seem to have an issue with that, and I got my deposit back.

I went to Elaine for trial make up and hair and booked her for my wedding day. At the trial I thought the make up was too dramatic, but on the day of, everything came out perfect. I asked her to meet me at the hotel just a few days before the wedding and she was very accommodating. I had my hair in an up-do for the ceremony, and Elaine did a clever twist on it so that at my reception, I just need to take out the bottom three curls and voila, I have a new hair style. I would recommend Elaine for your wedding make-up and hair style.

I rented my dress from 2000 Dreams. The dress already fitted me perfect when I tried it on, so no issue there. Nancy was helpful, but she ordered all of the bridemaid dresses way too big. My BMs dresses came out nice, but alteration cost a bunch for a couple of them. One of my BM went to the San Diego shop and had a very bad experience there. The other BM's dress was way too big, that she took it to another tailor to get it altered. I went back to Nancy to get a second dress altered for my second reception in Taiwan. I needed a quick turn around and was willing to pay the price. They did a great job on my second dress and I got it a few days before my trip. In summary, bride ok, bridesmaids not ok.

Jennifer and Victor really outdid themselves with my wedding flowers. From the detail of the bouquets to the elegant centerpieces. They were professional and courteous. I love the sketch session with Jennifer, where she drew each piece in details so you get a good look at the arrangements. They were on time and the flowers were fresh and gorgeous. My flower girl had a unique lollipop bouquet with a blue butterfly. I highly recommend.
