I used this catalogue for some personalized items I put in my gift bags in thehotel rooms of out of town guests. They are cheap and not the best quality but they have a great selection of fun items. My gests loved this personalization. Good for napkins, candles holders, baloons and signs.

I ordered my invitations from Costco and was so happy with them! I paid around $250 for 100 invitations with printed envalopes and responce cards. You have to design it online yourself which takes work but their quality is great. You can order samples of the invitations first to see if you like it in person. The down side is its all online but this is how you save money. My guests never would guess it was from costco!

This store has so much! I got my place cards there and sign in book and lots of crafty items for decor. Definately check them out before going elseware.

I let my bridesmaid choose their own dresses I just told them a colo - chocolate brown. They all ended up getting their dresses from jcrew. They all looked beautiful and my girls could order the dresses to their home (since they all live in different area). They have a very nice selection and they are dresses people can actually wear again!

Elizabeth at Van Nuys Flowers was wonderful! You cant beat her prices and her flowers were fresh and beautiful! We used mostly sunflowers and they were perfect! And she knows how to work with a budget! Don't be worried by the look of her shop - its small and cramped. But her work is quality and the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend her!

We could not have been happier with this location! We got married in the Main Dining Room. Perfect for 100 guests. The outdoor ceremony site is so beautiful, green and lush! The staff on the day of the wedding were amazing! I was so happy with everything! The food was great - which I was worried about because they dont do tastings. We had some passed appetizers - all were hot and fresh and plentiful. For sit down dinner we had a choice of prime rib or pecan crusted chicken. Everyone raved about it! Our glasses were always full. Every waiter was smilling and everything went smoothly. I HIGHLY recommend this site!
They give $10 per person off for sunday and weekday weddings.

We used Dave Turner as our DJ and he was great! He was a bit hard to meet up with prior to the event but once we did he was attentive and interested in learning about us and making the event great (even talking a bit too much!). One the day of the ran the show and coordinated with the event staff. We never had to worry about him. He lept the wedding going smoothly, checking in with us at times but not getting in our way. We were very happy with him!

This bakery is amazing if you want a rich and delicious cake. We went full chocolate with their Bear cake. We had a three tier cake for 100 people covered in dark choclate shavings and decorated with a cascade of fruit. It was so beautiful all out guests were in awe! Because they use fresh cream icings instead of fondante (which may look smooth and pretty but tastes terrible!) they have to deliver the cake during dinner so it does not sit out too long. We liked this because it was dramatic for guests who loved watching them assemble the cake. Our guests are still talking about it! Plus, their shop is adorable and worth the visit anyway! The owner is Jenna Turner.

Kelly Zhang and her team were wonderful for our wedding day. I was so impressed by her trial that I booked her right away. She did show up a little late on the day of the wedding but she was prepared and ready. She still had us all finished at the time I had stated. She did my hair/makeup and she brought another woman who did hair/makeup for two bridesmaids, the mother of the groom and two flower girls. Everyone was thrilled with their work. I definately recommend her!
I had clip in hair extensions which I was really excited about. However, they did not hold the curl that well throughout the night so i would be careful with these.
