A friend…read morereferred us to Cindy, and hiring her was truly one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process! From the very beginning, Cindy was organized, calming, supportive, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day everything we hoped it would be. Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming at times, but Cindy's guidance, attention to detail, and incredible work ethic made the entire process so much easier and more enjoyable. She was always quick to answer questions, offer thoughtful advice, and help us navigate every decision with confidence. On the wedding day itself, Cindy was an absolute rock star. Knowing she was there overseeing everything allowed us to fully relax, be present, and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. Every detail was thoughtfully executed, and everything flowed so seamlessly that we never had to worry about a thing. Our wedding was absolutely stunning. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the flowers were and how impressed they were with every detail of the day. I loved being able to tell them that our amazing wedding planner was also responsible for all of the gorgeous florals. The flowers exceeded anything I could have imagined and brought our vision to life perfectly. Every arrangement was elegant, timeless, and beautifully designed. One of my favorite details from the entire day was my bouquet. It was absolutely beautiful, and even now I still find myself looking at it and smiling. It perfectly captured everything I had hoped for and is such a special reminder of our wedding day. Beyond her incredible talent, Cindy is simply a wonderful person. She truly cares about her couples and goes above and beyond to make sure they feel supported throughout the entire process. We are so grateful for everything she did for us and cannot recommend her highly enough. If you're looking for someone who is organized, talented, kind, and genuinely passionate about creating beautiful weddings, Cindy is the absolute best!

I am so long overdue, but better late than never, right? LOL…read more Our wedding reception took place on 6/25/2022 at the Villa. We booked our reception venue back in 2020 and Alyssa was so amazing! She helped us with so much. She was always there to answer any of my repetitive questions via email. I cannot explain how much Alyssa and the team at the Villa went above and beyond for our wedding. Our wedding was incredibly beautiful. I wish I can relive the moment over again. My family and friends cannot stop talking about how delicious the food was. The 7 course meal Vietnamese style was delicious. I loved their lobster and garlic noodles. Hands down, the best. There is nothing bad I can say about Alyssa and the Villa Team. They were amazing and we're so thankful we chose this reception venue for our wedding. They made our wedding night become a living dream. It was just so beautiful!! Words cannot explain. I would definitely recommend chosing The Villa for your wedding venue.

My experience with this venue started out great up until the pandemic happened. This is where…read morethings got very ugly and continued to get uglier. I booked this venue in fall 2019 for an October 2020 wedding. Our payment was split into 4 and we had already paid our first + second installment by the time the pandemic happened. At the beginning of the pandemic (March 2020), we had an estimated 200 guest list, so we were worried that it would be greatly affected. We reached out to ask if we would be able to postpone our wedding to October 2021 due to fear that the government would not allow a gathering that size to happen. The venue refused saying that things were expected to resume normality by August 2020 and if we really wanted to postpone our date, we would have to pay our 3rd installment (which is about 50% of the total). I refused to pay that amount so early on, especially if we were in a situation where we didn't know what was going to happen. We emailed back and forth for a month, trying to get them to compromise on a fair agreement. They finally offered to move out date if we paid a non-refundable $2,000 fee that wouldn't apply towards the cost of the wedding. At that point, I was ready to take them to small claims court to fight for all of my money that I have already given them and take my business elsewhere. I understand that the pandemic affected businesses everywhere, but for them to be so money-hungry even when people were out of jobs, shutting down, and businesses going out of business were absolutely selfish and greedy. After threatening them with small claims court, they agreed to postpone our wedding date to October 2021 without any fees or third installment having to be paid a year in advance. During the 6 months leading up to the wedding, they have been unresponsive and unhelpful. I understand that emails aren't answered from Thursday-Sunday due to weddings, but my emails would get ignored for 2 weeks at a time before I got a response AFTER I send a follow up email. After I finalized my guest and table count, they approved it... but then went back 4 days later and said that I was short one table so I would have to pay out of pocket to cover it. I refused because I do not want to give this establishment anymore of our money. We had already put the rest of the money into the bar tab to hit the minimum for this venue. They decided to just give it to us by taking the table cost out of the bar tab. All in all, they were NOT helpful, unreasonable, unresponsive and a terrible experience to work with. They took so much magic out of our wedding.

Where do I even start?!…read more Hiring Anhie and Thanh from Sweet Events by Anhie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our traditional Tea Ceremonies to our Wedding Mass and reception, they made every detail feel seamless, organized, and stress-free.

They took the time to get to know us, understand our vision, and guide us through every step of the planning process.

Our guests are still talking about how beautiful and well-organized the Tea Ceremonies, Wedding Mass, and reception were.

We can't thank you enough for how amazing you and your team are. Before we even discussed having a…read morewedding planner, my husband talked to me about how he wanted everyone to have a good time, but most importantly, he wanted to enjoy our wedding as well. You made sure that everything was about us and we truly felt the magic. We love the detailed spreadsheet you made with tabs to prepare us for the wedding and the day-of-wedding timeline. We love that we were able to customize our dessert table. We love the macarons and mini parfaits. We had time to eat the desserts on the day of our wedding because you made that happen for us. We spent all day on the day after our wedding talking to family and friends and they all agreed it was one of the best weddings they've been to! We loved every minute of our wedding day. There are so many details your team made sure that we didn't miss out on and I'm so grateful that we chose you to plan our wedding. You made it the most stress-free wedding possible and we got to spend so much time with our guests. We love that you weren't afraid to tell the photographer and videographer what angles to shoot or capture. We loved that you captured so many additional photos and videos. You were so flexible and adaptable to everything. We cannot imagine how our wedding would be without you!!! You went above and beyond our expectations! You treated us like family and we are eternally grateful. We will forever recommend you to anyone that wants to plan an event, celebration, or wedding. Everyone we talked to said that you are the best. Thank you for being a part of our special day!!!

A wise-robot, named ChatGPT, once told us that a majority of wedding headaches come from finding…read morethe perfect venue and having a great caterer. Luckily for us, 3 Petals took those wise words and said "hold my champagne." We gave 3 Petals team a large task of 270 guests, a moody romantic theme, picky eaters, quality drinks, amazing food, and a floral chandelier that made us gasp. Not only did the team understood the assignment, they handled all of it without missing a beat. We can't talk about 3 Petals without talking about the staff. And we have to start with Ashley, because she deserves every thank you we could give. As our POC for the entire year leading up to the wedding, she was an absolute sweetheart from start to finish. Every email answered promptly, every question, no matter how small, was met with patience and clarity. It felt like planning a wedding with a friend who genuinely wanted our day to be perfect. Ashley truly set the tone for what the entire 3 Petals experience would feel like, and that standard carried through every single interaction with their team. The venue staff as a whole are warm, genuine, and flexible. You can tell they actually love what they do. The venue itself is a true blank canvas. We wanted a moody, romantic theme and 3 Petals team suggested maroon draping. Game changer. It completely transformed the space and gave the room a warm and intimate atmosphere. The team provided extra lighting to balance the moodiness of the room and made sure our linen choices tied everything together perfectly. Their in-house rentals are fairly priced, their florist team is incredibly talented, and the floral chandelier they created was honestly more stunning in person than anything we had imagined. Since they have established relationships with so many local vendors, coordinating everyone was smooth and stress-free. Now the food. We need to talk about the food because this is where 3P truly shines. Many of our guests were from families of great cooks. We are talking picky Asian moms and aunties who will absolutely let you know if something did not meet the mark. Every single one of them complimented the food. This was the highlight of the wedding for us. We went with Signature Menu 2 and swapped the first course for cocktail hour bites, and that decision alone was worth it. We had tried the cocktail food at our tasting and knew immediately it was going to be a hit, but the actual wedding night confirmed it. Every single item was amazing. The curry shrimp was juicy and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of curry flavor, served on a crispy bite that had the most satisfying crunch. The halibut ceviche was a fresh, beautifully executed Asian fusion take. And the filet beef cubes were tender, soft, and seasoned so perfectly that every single bite felt intentional. And those were just the appetizers. Dinner raised the bar even higher. Our front runners from the moment we tried them were the twice cooked short ribs and the steamed sea bass, and they delivered on the wedding night exactly as promised. The short ribs fell completely off the bone and melted in your mouth. The sea bass was incredibly fragrant and cooked to perfection. The soup was delicate yet packed with generous amounts of shrimp and crab, and they did not skimp on a single thing. And the lobsters with garlic noodles? Bomb! All our guests raved about these dishes. The compliments did not stop at the wedding either. Weeks later, guests were still bringing up the food unprompted. That speaks volumes about what By 3 Petals puts on the table. Our guests really came for the wedding and stayed for the drinks. The full top shelf bar meant every cocktail actually tasted like a cocktail. No watered down drinks, no flimsy plastic cups, just well-made cocktails served right. The venue went above and beyond by helping us craft his and her signature drinks. It was a small personalized detail that got people talking all night and made the bar feel like part of the experience rather than just a table in the corner. Venue by 3 Petals is truly the full package and one of the best decisions we ever made for our wedding. Thank you 3 Petals Team for the best night of our lives!

The entire staff was so kind, attentive, and efficient throughout the night. Everything felt very organized even with such a large crowd. I especially have to shout out the bartenders, specifically, Anais and Rhiannon!! They were AMAZING. The bar was slammed all night, but you honestly would have never known from their service. Drinks came out so quickly even if it was a large order (guilty), everything was made correctly, and they were genuinely some of the best drinks I've had! On top of that, they both had the best energy and were so friendly and fun with every guest who came up to the bar. They somehow managed to keep everything moving while still making each interaction feel personal, which was so impressive considering how busy they were. Anais and Rhiannon seriously added so much to the atmosphere of the wedding and were one of the things that stood out to me most from the night. You can tell they are both great at what they do and genuinely care about giving guests a good experience. The wait staff was also wonderful staying communicative, keeping everything clean on the tables, checking in, and helping box things up. Such a beautiful venue with an amazing team. I am now planning on looking at this place for my future wedding!

We first knew Trung Thành as a polished professional dancer. Once we began planning, we discovered he's also a gifted, caring planner who understands the meaning of the day, not just the schedule. We wanted a fully vegetarian, elegant, and intimate celebration that honored our families and people from our temple. Trung Thành smiled and said, "With me, you just worry in sending the invitations, I'll take care of the rest." He kept his words. At the Waterfront Beach Resort by Hilton, our layout included a main stage, live band, LED screen, and dance floor with capacity no more than 400 guests. Trung Thành provided recommendations for our thoughtful seating plan so everyone had clear sightlines and sound, and he honored our wish to seat elders and close friends near us. He coordinated seamlessly with the hotel team, musicians, AV/lighting/LED operators, and our own vendors (makeup, photo, video, florals), keeping everything calm, on time, and positive. He also worked gracefully with our officiant and interpreter so the ceremony felt dignified and polished. Trung Thành has an artist's eye for moments. He produced a surprise: a recorded message from my wife that played during the reception, many guests (including me) cried. He also choreographed our First Dance to "Em Đồng Ý (I Do)" - Đức Phúc x 911, coaching us for nearly six weeks and focusing on details, eyes, posture, breath, so the dance told our story. We ended on the final beat to a wave of applause. What stood out most was Trung Thành's character, he listens, anticipates, and leads without ego. He solves problems quietly, keeps everyone at ease, and elevates the entire team. Thanks to Trung Thành & Recre8tive Lab, the Waterfront Beach Resort by Hilton staff, our coordinator Vivian, and all of our vendors, our wedding was deeply meaningful. Wholeheartedly recommended - especially if you want a planner who can blend cultural sensitivity, vegetarian hospitality, and high-level production into a warm, personal celebration. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Anh Trung Thành (Recre8tive Lab) đã biến lễ cưới thuần chay của chúng tôi tại Waterfront by Hilton thành một ngày trọn vẹn.
