Picking out tuxes, sizing people, and picking them up really shouldn't be this complicated.

In the end though, (besides a tux delivered to the wrong store for a single guest out of town) it worked out fine, and everyone had everything they were supposed to.

Also, for what its worth, the employees at the store (West LA, on Wilshire) were helpful, and competent, just that the entire chain/process seems to have so much overhead & cruft that its just harder than it should be.

We booked Truly Yours for our wedding after sampling their food and seeing their prices.

One of the best things about Truly Yours is that they are an all-inclusive shop with respect to the food, the tables, chairs, dance floor, lighting, shuttles, etc. That's a huge help when trying to plan a wedding without spending thousands of dollars on someone else to do all of that stuff for you.

Secondly, they had great food. We went in for a couple of tastings, to refine exactly what we wanted, and when we did (we mixed the meat from one dish and the sauce from another) it was perfect. The day of our wedding, we received tons of compliments on the food, and we enjoyed it thoroughly as well (although honestly, at your wedding, you won't have that much time to eat.)

Finally, Chris & Roxy, and their entire team, really know what they're doing. Especially if you're working at a venue where they've catered a bunch, like we did (the Adamson House FYI). The entire event went smoothly, and in the weeks leading up to the event, it was clear that Chris has a lot of experience, as he helped track down the State Park guy for our meeting (and did the first part of the walk-through for him while we waited for him to arrive).

Anyways, all-in-all, Truly Yours Catering was fantastic. We had great food, we had a single point of contact for ~60% of the things we needed for the wedding, and their prices are much much more reasonable than other caterers that we checked out.

Many thanks to Chris & everyone over there else for helping us throw such a successful event!

We found Brooke through a referral from one of the photographers who she had worked with. She has a very bright personality, and a professional demeanor. We liked her immediately, and ended up deciding to book her as our day-of coordinator.

Even as our day-of coordinator, she was very helpful the weeks before-hand: helping us with the time-line, helping us manage (and store) various accessories (specifically a bunch of chinese lanterns, which weren't tiny), favors, and other do-dads, and getting us various vendor referrals. The days leading up to the wedding I was chatting with her about various things constantly (and she even got up early the morning of the wedding to go purchase a bunch of parkas when we had a rain scare, fortunately the weather ended up being beautiful.)

At the actual wedding, she oversaw all of the coordination with the vendors, managed our time-line, helped setup & tear-down, ran around dealing with our various (probably somewhat frivolous) wedding day requests, and helped with all of the other little things to make the event go smoothly.

Really, this review doesn't go into enough detail with all of the things that Brooke did; without a doubt, she was fantastic, and well worth every penny we spent. I can't imagine when we'll next have another event as complicated/or important as our wedding, but when I do (or even when I have one thats half as complex) I'll be sure to want Brooke there helping it go smoothly.
