This company is like what K-mart is to the appearal industry. You will not know who your photographer is until you meet him on your wedding day. The company itself was professional but in hind site I would never use them again or recommend them. Out of the 500 shots the Photographer they assigned to our Wedding took we liked about 45. Many were riduculous mug shots of individuals instead of couples and hideous angles of my dress that were very unflattering. We got the few shots we wanted of each part of the day so it was good enough. But for the type of black tie evening event we threw, the photos should have been so much more. This company contracts out to whatever photographer is slow that month or just getting their feet wet and not very experienced. I would pass on this company and hire a real photographer that you can meet ahead of time. Ask everyone you know that is married what they liked and disliked about their photography and make a detailed list of everything you want. The best advice we got was to take the professional family and wedding party shots before the ceremony. My husband and I meet quietly alone with the photographer so he could see me for the first time and we are so glad we did that. My groom did not have that Deer in Headlight look that can happen when he sees you walking down the aisle and we were able to join our guests at the cocktail party before the reception. I have been to Weddings where all the major players dissapear for 2 hours to take photos after the ceremony and I always wished that they were able to enjoy their own party. We bought the RAW files and I will be able to make my own digital coffee table book from them once I fix them up a bit. Pass on this one and go elsewhere.

The flowers and the Centerpieces were so amazing that I just could not have imagined our Wedding Day without them. Once we picked the color scheme and met with Beverly we knew she was the one. She had the most wonderful suggestions and she has so much experience. Even if you think you know it all...please let her tell you what you need. She is very considerate of your budget and you can change and add as needed. She used the Candleabra Centerpieces to line the Aisle at the Ceremony so they could do double duty. She used the flowers from the Canopy after the ceremony to decorate the cake and dessert table. Go for the Aisle runner and curtains to conceal any Exit signs and doors. The uplights she suggested gave eveything such a wonderful glow. Our photos would have been terrible if she had not seen to all these details that only an experienced Wedding Florist would know. It was such a beautiful day and Mr. B's had a lot to do with making that happen. You will love working with them.

I loved my dress and it was a perfect day. David's Bridal had a wonderful selection and although I know they are not the Bridal Salon with Major Designer dresses I wanted use most of our budget on the event itself entertaining our guests and making a beautiful affair. I have heard of Brides that spend thousands on their dresses and don't bother to have an open or top shelf bar for their guests. We had amazing flowers and a wonderful band, awesome food and drink all night. This is an economical yet beautiful way to budget your special day. They had everything you needed for the day and were very professional. This was a wonderful experience for me but I was lucky to find my dream dress with the second one I tried on. I knew I wanted a halter. I knew I wanted A-line with sash waist. Do some research and know what cuts look good on you and what you think is flattering on you. Take one person with you that you trust will tell you the truth. Don't drag a group of people with you. You will get 10 different opinions and some will not be as honest with you as you need. Getting in and out of these dresses takes a lot of energy and time. If you go armed with information it will help you narrow in on what you what and need right away. Don't expect for that dress to come and find you. Good luck and have fun.

Rebecca and her team are such a delight. I had her come to the hotel on the day of our Wedding to do my bridal makeup as well as the makeup and hair for the wedding party. She was so patient with me, when after my first makeup trial, I wanted to try another look. She never questioned it and came out right away. She said her goal was to make my day special by making me feel beautiful...Well she did just that in every way. She is so sweet and so responsible. She returned every call and she showed up on time, every time. It was everything I had hoped for... You will not be dissapointed.

If want to enjoy your Wedding Day then this is the best money you will ever spend. I hired The Go To Gals for "Day Of" Wedding Coordination. What a relief. Someone to do all the detail work that was not covered by all the other vendors. Someone to run the timeline and make sure that everyone was where they needed to be and when they needed to be there. We worked mostly with Courtney for our day of service and she was amazing in every way. She knew her stuff and made it happen. There is no way I could have been able to relax and have the dream wedding I wanted to have if she wasn't there. She made sure all the behind the scenes stuff ran smoothly and I never had to deal or worry about one thing. I showed up and got to be the Bride. The difference between a Bride and a Bridezilla if a good Wedding Coordinator. If you are in Southern California and you have any room at all in your budget you need to have them run your day. If you have more room in your budget you could have them plan the whole thing. Good luck and have fun.
