Alan and his team are THE BEST. We had so many changes to our wedding plans but the one thing we…read moreknew wouldn't disappoint us was working with Great Officiants. From the jump, Alan and his team were incredibly nice, honest, responsive, and excellent at explaining the whole process to us. Wedding planning was a roller coaster ride and they're here for all of it. Alan was our officiant and he made our whole ceremony so light yet romantic. It was added humor and my husband and I appreciated all of it.

We had such a wonderful experience working with Alan, and our officiant, Mitzi, was truly…read moreexceptional. She was warm, engaging, and incredibly supportive throughout the process. From the beginning, she made an effort to really get to know both me and my husband, and she was very open to including the personal elements that were important to us. She also offered thoughtful suggestions that helped shape a ceremony that felt very authentic and meaningful. During the ceremony, Mitzi spoke beautifully about our relationship--how we balance and complement each other, what we admire about one another, and the moments when we each realized we had found the right person. It was heartfelt and very touching. She has a deep understanding of Jewish traditions and was also happy to incorporate some Catholic elements. Since our guests came from a variety of religious backgrounds, she explained each prayer and tradition during the ceremony so everyone could understand and appreciate their significance. One particularly special moment was when we included the Mi Sheberach prayer for a sick relative. It made the ceremony feel even more personal, and Mitzi sang it so beautifully. Many of our guests commented afterward on how meaningful and lovely the ceremony was. We are so grateful for the care and thoughtfulness that went into making our wedding ceremony so memorable.

Unfortunately, I was not able to have the Forever & Always Wedding that I dreamed of. Although…read moreHeather communicated very well, there were a couple of incidents that I found slightly unprofessional: 1. I signed a contract with one of her staff as my wedding planner. Unfortunately, from my understanding, there were unexpected changes in the company, so Heather had to take over. However, Heather responded that she would make an exception for me and not charge me an additional $1000 for this change. With all due respect, I should not be financially penalized for changes that an owner experiences; especially since I already signed the contract that I financially agreed to. 2. I encountered a lot of life changes that disrupted my ability to move forward with a wedding that my brothers were supposed to be in. For instance, I had a depressed, suicidal brother, I had another brother leave for Japan for the Marines, and I had an uncle pass away. All vendors except for Heather were so kind to fully refund my deposits due to the situation. Unfortunately, Heather responded that she was still a businesswoman and was financially hurting, so she was in no place to offer a full refund. I basically paid Heather almost $500 to establish a simple contract. I already had all the vendors in place and organized, so this deposit was for nothing. Heather should not be held responsible for unexpected circumstances, but this wedding meant a lot to me. As a business owner, you should be able to compromise with your clients based on their situation. I could have easily used that deposit to help my family for the funeral. I find this situation absurd because I never wanted a wedding planner to begin with. Our wedding list was only 32 guests, but my fiancé insisted that we hire a planner because he did not want me to stress out. I admire him for caring, but this wedding was going to be a private and intimate event with very little management. I blame myself for hiring a wedding planner when I did not need one. It is unfortunate that Heather was thinking like a businesswoman and not a human being with empathy. Nonetheless, please make sure to ask about the refund policy for emergencies such as death, health, etc. Two stars are for her communication, but I can only evaluate Heather based on my experience with her before the wedding date. Therefore, I am unable to provide feedback for her day service since my wedding never happened. Has it ever occurred to you, Heather, that you had not heard from me in a year because I was busy dealing with other important things like planning a funeral? My wedding was the last thing on my mind. Also, I was not complaining about the charge that never happened, I am complaining about your response to your changes. There was no need to comment on that you are more expensive and won't be charging me. We could have proceeded forward with whatever it was we were doing. You contacted ONE venue and that is because they had YOU sign a contract with them. FYI, my pre-engagement photos were scheduled with the photographer I hired for my wedding and I was still refunded the full amount. This vendor did not work for free either and still managed to prioritize customer service over money. You are a business owner and have the liberty to do as you please, but you must have needed the money more than I did, so I hope my contributions helped your business. Nonetheless, well done on your communication. If you have a family member with a life-threatening illness or you have a medical condition that may require potential hospitalization, please do not hire Heather as your wedding planner as she will not refund you the deposit because not make exceptions for your situation simply because she does not "work for free." Thank you.

It's so important to relate to and connect with your wedding planner and from day 1 it felt like…read moreshe was my friend helping me plan my dream wedding. I found Heather through Yelp and let me say: she really understood my vision and kept it real with me on what i could and couldn't afford lol. Not to mention, I literally and honestly don't know how I could have enjoyed my wedding without Heather. Her and her assistant, Courtney, handled E V E R Y T H I N G on the day of our wedding at the Estate on Second and then some. If there was any sort of problem, she had the solution. If we needed a drink, she was there with mine and my husband's signature cocktails. If I was losing track of time, she made sure to gently push me along. She truly handled everything so that me and my husband could just have FUN and for that I am truly grateful.

He was very punctual on our wedding date. He kept it light and fun, while maintaining the right amount of seriousness. He seems like the kind of guy that could easily fit into any type of wedding.

After a hiccup, I was fearful he wasn't going to make it to our wedding on time, but as promised, he arrived when planned and did such a fantastic job. Hearing his voice and having his presence next to us at the altar was refreshing during such an emotional moment. After all, we had met several times, had practiced at rehearsal and we loved his persona. He even ensured to wear a matching tie to our wedding colors. We received many compliments on the way he conducted the ceremony and we even referred a friend. My only complaint was that he was a tiny bit late at two of our prior meetings. Nevertheless, he made it right, did a great job, was professional and I highly recommend him.

I met up with a friend that I hadn't seen for awhile and it was the perfect place to catch up during a walk around of the garden. I loved the pond with the lily pads and turtles, and the Heritage House surrounded by orange trees and roses. I was impressed by the amount of orange trees. It reminds you of why they call it Orange County. If I went to school here I'd be here probably once a week. Otherwise it's great to come if you live in the OC.

From the parking lot it was easy to follow the signs along to the garden. The garden had areas that represented Woodlands, Mediterranean, Dessert, and a Cultivated Collection. There were walking paths but I still recommend closed toed shoes since it's a bit sandy. They had many benches throughout for resting or handing out and admiring nature. We spent about an hour here, but to be fair I'm not that into nature. I GOT A BUG BITE and it swelled and was super itchy. Sigh. I think someone who super loved nature or wanted to take their time to hang out could take 2-3 admiring all the plant life. My FAVORITE moments here was when we came across wildlife. My favorite were the rabbit, turtle, and crane. It's beautiful. Great spot to get some steps in and absorb some sunlight.
