She has beautiful relationships with other vendors, making it even better for her to communicate what you are looking for. She executed our Fierce Bohemian Wedding theme!

Winnie on its own was good experience. My interaction with them up until the dress was picked up…read morewas wonderful. The store itself had a good selection of beautiful styles, and the staff I worked with were very patient, helpful, and considerate as I worked through choosing my dress. The reason for dropping this down to 2 stars was due to the very negative experience I had with the tailor (Maria of VIP Couture Bridal Alterations) they highly recommended. Going above a recommendation, without asking me they actually pre-coordinated that Maria to come to the bridal shop as I picked up my dress so she could perform the initial fitting there and take it back with her to begin working on it. I had trusted them up to this point, so continued to trust their insistence on working with Maria. Although Maria had 7 weeks, my dress never fit correctly, and the whole thing wasn't completed until the night (10 pm drop off) before I left for my wedding. The delays and uncertainty caused me tremendous stress the week before my wedding, to the point that I was losing sleep and searching for backup dresses. My last fitting lasted over two hours because I had to stay and watch her finish the work. I believe she had taken on too many clients, and unfortunately, I ended up being the one who suffered for it. I do definitely recommend Winnie Bridal as place to search for your dress, but do not recommend using their references for other services.

Where do I begin? Leora from Best Bride truly is THE BEST. Our wedding was set for May 24th, 2020…read more Everything was already planned. But of course, the pandemic hit and everything changed and nothing would be the same. Leora quickly took action, lifted our spirits and made sure that no matter what, we'd still be getting married on that date. There's no possible way to fully express my appreciation for Best Bride on our journey down the aisle. THANK YOU for putting us before anything else during those 2 weeks of planning our new wedding. You helped us completely transform my grandmother's home in Beverly Hills into the most magical wedding ceremony in a matter of 2 weeks. Even though our initial wedding dreams completely shifted, somehow this became even more meaningful for us. We were surrounded by our closest friends and family who witnessed our gorgeous Chuppah and our truly sentimental ceremony. Not only were we completely delighted by everything as is but our wedding even received tons of attention and recognition from several amazing media outlets and publications, including GRACE ORMANDE! Who could have ever dreamt of this?! Leora has an incredible team of planners, I felt so supported, so cared for. Every single one of the Best Bride staff are so professional and knowledgeable. They really know their stuff and most importantly care and do it with love, passion and patience. We hope to have a big celebration one day too when things feel a little more certain, and of course our only wish is for Leora from Best Bride and her team to help plan it for us. Thank you Leora for encouraging us to move forward in our lives and helping it be a beautiful start!

We were less than 8 weeks from our wedding date, without a venue, with more than 150 Save the Dates sent out, and uncertain if we would even be able to have any kind of ceremony in the midst of a pandemic, let alone whether that ceremony would put our family and closest friends at risk. What Best Bride did for us in such a short amount of time was truly remarkable! While we had to significantly cut down our guest count Leora made sure that every possible Covid precaution was taken to keep our family and loved ones safe while still giving us a day more magical than we ever dreamed of. Leora was also so good at calming me down during the morning stress of the day and I can't thank her enough for that! I've since recommended Leora to my best friend who also was so grateful to have her plan her dream wedding. If you're not sure where to start or who to go with choose Leora because you will not regret it!

HIRING GRACE WAS THE BEST DECISION WE MADE FOR OUR WEDDING!…read more After extensive research, I reached out to Grace from Unveiled by Grace with only a few months left to plan our 250-guest wedding. Not only did Grace plan our wedding in that short amount of time (about 4 months) but she also planned our rehearsal dinner and welcome party the day before. Somehow, she made everything feel effortless. The wedding was beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of. Grace handled EVERYTHING, from venue coordination, food, drinks, logistics, rentals, linens, signage, party favors, website details, photography, videography, florals, hair and makeup and even helping secure approvals with the fire marshal for real candles and full drapery. Every vendor she recommended was incredible and together they created the absolute dream team. We had countless calls and probably millions of text messages from me, especially as a Type A bride, and Grace was patient, responsive, organized and always one step ahead. She truly understood our vision and made us feel supported throughout the entire process. Our welcome party, rehearsal dinner and wedding day were PERFECT. Honestly, beyond perfect. Guests are still telling us it was the best wedding they have ever attended. Our wedding party and immediate family kept saying not only was it the best wedding ever, but that we had assembled the best vendor team imaginable all thanks to Grace. What meant the most to me was how stress-free she made everything feel. My husband and I were actually able to enjoy our wedding day because Grace handled every big and small detail behind the scenes. She even made sure tray passes and our signature cocktails were brought to our getting-ready suite because she knew we would miss them while taking photos and doing makeup touch-ups. Those little thoughtful moments meant everything. If I could do my wedding all over again, Grace would be my very first call. Too bad she only does weddings because I would absolutely hire her again for baby showers, birthdays and anniversaries too. Even after the wedding, she still answers my random questions and checks in on us. This is probably the longest review I have ever written, but Grace deserves every word. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much, Grace. We love you sooooo much!

He does not help with anything. Aside from a few nonsense meetings where nothing gets accomplished, you're completely on your own in terms of ordering menus, invitations and Placecards. He's only looking out for his pocket and will take you to vendors who he has an arrangement with so that he gets his commission. If you don't use his vendors get ready for the wrath of Kevin Lee: this wrath involves him not responding to calls and texts and worse of all not taking care of you on your wedding day. He never once asked how me and my husband were doing on the wedding day, never asked if he could bring us food or water. The best part is he brings a group of people who have no experience in day of wedding coordinating and THEY SPEAK ZERO English. Every bit of stress I had on my wedding day was due to this fraud. Stay away!!!

They choreographed a dance that perfectly captured 'us' and broke down every step to ensure we learned each part before moving forward. We were slightly ambitious and wanted to challenge ourselves by incorporating three of our favorite songs, and Kelvin blew us away by seamlessly mixing them into one track that fit our dance flawlessly. Our guests ended up LOVING our dance and it was such an amazing experience for us. We highly recommend Your Night Choreo!

PSA to all brides: HIRE A WEDDING PLANNER…read more When my husband and I got engaged, ALL the brides in my life told me to hire a wedding planner. The ones that didn't really regretted it, and the ones that did fully appreciated their planner. So, I took their advice and began my search. Before I thought about venues, or guest lists, I ventured to find a planner and I am SO THRILLED to have found Sherine! Sherine is caring, thoughtful, and filled with love for what she does. My wedding was a Chinese-Indian fusion wedding. On top of the intense traditions, I had to navigate the requests of my MIL and mom. Sherine helped me execute their requests while keeping the events grounded in my husband and my style. It still felt like OUR wedding even though there were a lot of demands placed on us by family. Here are some KEY contributions Sherine made to our experience: 1. She helped us visit and narrow down venues - We live in Texas so she met my in-laws at venues and toured with them. She did NOT need to do this, but to make the family a part of the process, she went above and beyond! 2. She helped us SAVE MONEY by introducing us to cost-effective vendors that were a big bang for our buck. Her vendors are amazing 3. She was a friend - checking in on us and keeping us updated on things. She isn't like other planners who charge for each call and visit beyond the contract. She will be there for you. 4. She took care of ALL THE LITTLE DETAILS like verifying insurance, making sure the contracts were correct, communicating information to the venue about the various vendors (this is A LOT OF WORK and she handled it all!). If you're a bride thinking, "I'm detail oriented, I can handle this on my own".... let me tell you the amount of emotion and stress that is put into a wedding - You'll want someone on your team taking this off your plate. But what I truly loved about Sherine is that she went above and beyond. For her it really isn't about the money. During the week before our wedding, my family hosted a Chinese dinner. Sherine was not paid to work the event, and I invited her to come to enjoy the dinner. She ended up showing up a day before to help me pin a backdrop (bringing materials for me to use), showing up early to the Chinese venue to help set up (her and her friend set up the entire space so my family didn't have to!). My mom asked her if she could do all this, Sherine took one look at me and saw the panic in my face and said, "Yes, I'll come help. I want this week to be perfect for you, so don't worry." (There isn't enough space in a post for me to even begin to express how amazing this gesture was!) The fact that she spent her precious time to come and help speaks to her passion for making her brides' lives easier. Sherine is wonderful; her team is wonderful! If you're a new bride looking for a wedding planner, meet her and see if her personality fits yours. I guarantee you'll have an experience with her that can't be matched by another planner because her work comes from her heart - not from a bottom-line. Thank you, Sherine, for making the year leading up to our wedding tolerable and for making the week of our wedding and our wedding day amazing. We are so glad to have met you!
