We ordered our cake from Final Touch and were not disappointed. We had a 3 tier cake and 2 were red velvet and 1 was white cake with mixed berries. It was delicious! They're pricing is awesome for what you get and they even delivered our cake to our venue which was about 45 minutes from their bakery. They were on time and super easy to work with. Loved our cake!!!

Don is a great officiant! He really kept the audience engaged and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire ceremony. He knows when to be funny and when to be serious, so everyone is crying and laughing. We got so many compliments on him. He can be a little cheesy, but for some reason it works for him and it's pretty funny. He is also a little pricier than other officiants, but you will not be disappointed by him. We love Don and are so glad he was the one to marry us!

We hired Pete for our ceremony, who was recommended to us by our wedding planner, and he is by far the BEST acoustic guitarist I've ever heard! He is a talented and professional musician who is super easy to work with. He helped us put together a play list and he even learned a new song we requested for him to play and sing during the ceremony. He really made our ceremony special!

Peter is an awesome DJ! We had him do our cocktail hour and reception and all our guests loved the music he played. He was super easy to work with an showed up on time. He even stayed later than he was supposed to and didn't charge us extra for it! He really made our wedding fun and got all our guests up and dancing, even my dad who DOES NOT dance at all!

We looked forever at a million invitations and couldn't find anything we liked and then I saw a couple invitations Jen did on a blog and I knew I had to have her do ours! Jen was so great to work with and she is the nicest person! Since she is located in GA and I'm in CA, we had to do discuss all the invitation designs, etc over the phone but she knew exactly what we were looking for and the design of the invitations were beautiful! She's very professional and we got so many compliments on our invitations. She did such a great job!

Carina is the BEST makeup artist ever! I think I have a weird face or something because whenever I get my makeup done, it looks good in person but really weird in pictures. Carina is the only person that can make me look beautiful in person and in pictures! She did my makeup for my bridal shower and for my wedding and I will have her do my makeup for every event from now on. She also did my bridesmaids, mom, and grandma for the wedding. She got all of us done in time and we were even done a little early. Rachel did our hair and she is also AMAZING! I loved having both Carina and Rachel because they both are super sweet and it felt like they were one of the girls hanging out, but they are also super professional too! Love them!!

We got married at Rancho Las Lomas so we didn't have a choice on which caterer to use. They also handled all of our rentals (linens, tables, chairs, etc). Heather was our event coordinator at 24 Carrots and she was really nice, but very difficult to get a hold of. It would take a few days for her to respond to our emails, but once we got in contact with her she was super helpful. She made sure we stayed within our budget and made a lot of great suggestions.

Now for the food. Everything was good except for the chicken. One of our tables was served raw chicken at the wedding and it looked as if it was just seared. Our guests that received the raw chicken mentioned it to the 24 carrots staff and they didn't do anything about it. They didn't even bring out another plate of food. It was very embarrassing to find this out and we spent quite a bit of money for our guests to enjoy dinner, so this is very disappointing. After the wedding we sent an email to Heather regarding the raw chicken and she completely ignored the email. So if you decide to get married at Rancho and you have to use 24 Carrots, DO NOT ORDER THE CHICKEN!! They were an ok company to work with and the food is decent if it's cooked and prepared correctly, but honestly we will never use this caterer again for any event.

Rancho Las Lomas is one of the most beautiful venues I have ever seen. When we visited this venue for the first time, we knew we had to have our wedding here. All of our guests loved the venue and still talk about how wonderful it was. Nili and Kara were really nice and great to work with. The only issues we had with the venue is that you had to use their caterer (24 Carrots) which was a pain because they weren't the best to work with and they served one of our tables completely raw chicken at our wedding. For such a beautiful venue, you would think they would have a better caterer or they would at least let you choose. Other than that it was a great place to have our wedding and we're glad we did.

Shelby and her staff did an AMAZING job for our wedding! She knew exactly the look we were going for and everything turned out better than I had even imagined. Shelby's staff was at the venue early setting up and were still there when we were leaving taking everything down. They really put a lot of effort into making everything so beautiful and it showed. We got so many compliments on the flowers and our guests loved that they were able to take home the centerpieces. Shelby is easy to work with and is very patient and sweet. I'm so glad we chose Green Leaf to make our day special!

What can I say about this awesome duo that other people haven't already said? Josh and Ariel shot our engagement photos, wedding, and also did our videography. Everything turned out so beautiful and they have been so great to work with. They were always quick to respond to all my emails, they made sure we felt comfortable during the shoots, and they got our wedding photos and video back to us super fast! But most importantly they captured every special moment on our wedding day. I'm so glad we chose them to do our photography/videography!
