My Wedding Vendor's Review & Recommendations

Just wanted to do a quick review of all the wedding vendors Michele and I decided to use for our wedding. Hopefully this might help some couples down the road on choosing the right vendors for their big day.
Michele and I would like to sincerely thank all of our vendors for all their help and support through our wedding process. From the start of the planning all the way up to the wedding day, everyone was a big help and we really appreciated all the support.
Below is a list of the wedding vendors we used for our wedding and Michele and I highly recommend them all. Below each vendor image is a link to each of their sites to get more of a feel for what they do.


Festivites Catering did an awesome job providing all the food & service for the wedding. Heard lots of feedback at the wedding on what a great job they all did. The mexican food was absolutely top-notch and they did an amazing job. The icing on the cake was the authentic tortilla maker Lupe! Extra special thanks to Katie!

Darin Dietz was our wedding planner and he surely knows how to plan a wedding. If you are in the market for a wedding planner I would highly recommend contacting Darin for more information. It was really nice to have someone to keep Michele and I in check during all the planning.
Thanks again Darin!

Pacific Event Productions provided all the lighting, linens & little extras for the wedding. The day before the wedding they were out at the wedding site setting up all the lighting and making sure everything looked just right. If you are looking to add some creativity to your wedding I would highly suggest speaking with Pacific Event Productions.

Sweet Cheeks Baking Company baked our wedding cake and we loved it. Happy to say we enjoyed it so much that we did not want to waste any on smashing it in each others faces... We politely gave each other a little taste which was nice, plus no clean up job. Thanks again to everyone over at Sweet Cheeks that help create our wedding cake.

Taylor Films provided all the videography for the wedding and Michele and I can't wait to see the final product. From a few of the captions he showed us during the wedding we know it is going to look quite good. Jason at Taylor films has definitely crafted a unique look and it truly shows in his work. Please take a look at his website & blog to get a feel for what he does best.

Chirs & Bri at Vaughngo Photography photographed our engagement & wedding. These two are quite the couple and are extremely good at what they do. The engagement photos were absolutely amazing, so, we can't wait to see all the final wedding images. Thanks again Chris & Bri, you guys are awesome!

Vynce Pham with Music Phreek was our D.J. for the wedding and Michele and I had no doubt he would do a great job. Very professional and laid back personality which was a good mix for our family & friends. Received quite a few compliments on the choices of songs and sounded like everyone had a good time dancing. The D.J. can truly make or break your day and I would highly recommend giving Vynce a call if you are in need of a D.J.
Thanks again Vynce for all your help throughout all the planning.

Bridal Showcase located over in Vista, CA provided Michele with her beautiful wedding dress. Michele can't stress enough how helpful they were in helping her locate the final dress. They listened closley to what she was looking for and they were able to provide just that. Michele would like to thank Marcos & Maria for all their help.

Last, but, not least... Men's Wearhouse... This would be the one place I would not recommend to anyone. Find anywhere else to go but here. They were able to screw up 4 of the 6 tuxedos, which was completely awesome. I'm actually really curious why they take measurements if they don't even come close to using them. Both my Dad & myself had our sleeves 3-4" off our wrists. Maybe it is a new sleeveless look they are going for....
My Dad had to pick his tux up the day of the wedding which was great for logistics. I could ramble on about numerous other problems, but, I will spare you.

Only advice, weddings are stressful enough, just don't go here.

"I guarantee it"
