Venue Diamond Bar Golf Course

Caterer Included in venue

Photographer Carla Flocken (Adore Photography) adorephotography.smugmug.com

DJ High Society Dj's

Florist Don Lugo High School (Seriously the BEST kept secret in flowers. Their floriculture teacher (Christine Dominguez) is a professional and is dong all our arrangements and bouquets for practically nothing. They will look amazing and are less than half the price of what a florist shop would charge)

Cake Colletts Cake Goddess (they were so great and the cake was amazing)

Officiant Reverand Ron Beams

Dress Alfred Angelo 2171 (if you're going to AA, for sure go to the one in Riverside, NOT the one in Rancho Cucamonga. The customer service is so much better)

Hair Stylist Dawn -Hair We Are (in Chino)

Rings Costco and then sized at Jared in Rancho Cucamonga (who are really great BTW. They have helped me with a few things in the past and sized my ring in a few hours)

Here's what we used.

Venue: Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, Absolutely Gorgeous!
Caterer: Gourmet Gourmet Catering, people have asked me to ask them for recipes for some of the food, so they were definitely good.
Coordinator: Gourmet Gourmet Catering
Photographer:Virnez Photography, check some of my posts for samples of her work. So easy to work with and her pictures are awesome.
DJ: DJ Dais, Daisuke Takeoka. He was great and kept the dance floor going all night.
Florist: Iron Heart Imports. The flowers were gorgeous, she gave me exactly what I envisioned.
Cake: Some Crust Bakery. Tasted delicious, very professional, and the cake turned out so whimsical and pretty.
Officiant: Ana Mora, she was very nice but she did mispronounce my husband's name one, and then apologized a million times for it.
Dress: Alfred Angelo Rancho Cucamonga. The sales people there were great, the Riverside store was terrible.
BM Dress: David's Bridal Riverside. Had a great experience there. Friendly, helpful consultants.
Hair Stylist: Kelly from Adiana's Salon in Orange. I absolutely loved how my hair turned out.
Make-up Artist: Dre from Faces by Dre.
She did everyone's makeup and eyelashes and everyone looked beautiful.
