Overall, amazing experience with TDE and highly recommend! We needed a Cantonese-English bilingual day-of-coordinator and MC for our wedding in Sacramento, and we decided to go with Carina (coordinator) and Jackson (MC). Although we did not purchase a full package from TDE, Carina and Jackson worked seamlessly with the rest of our chosen vendors. They (and the TDE team) were extremely organized, communicative, and supportive. One thing I really appreciated was that my husband was cc'd on every single email so that I wouldn't have to play middle man to relay every message to him as well. On the day of, Carina and Jackson went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. They were so thoughtful and considerate throughout the entire process. We got so many compliments from our family members about Jackson's MCing. Our wedding party also really loved how Carina kept everyone organized and on schedule. She was also able to seamlessly communicate with our Chinese restaurant venue to make sure our requests were met. Thank you so much Carina, Jackson, and Jessica! read more

I had a very positive experience working with TDE. It was easy to schedule a free consultation, where we first spoke with Otis, and could ask many questions up front before deciding to move forward. Otis was kind with great attention to detail from the start. Ultimately, we decided with the glam package and our contract was very clear to understand with cost breakdown for removal of specific services / add-ons. I updated it many times with Jessica, our planner, as we made changes throughout the months, and she was always so patient and clear. Our MC Otis did a wonderful job with maintaining flow of the program. Otis was also working as DJ for a good portion of the evening, so props to him! We had closer to an hour compared to 1.5 hours of open dancing because we were behind schedule, but everybody was on the dance floor and he kept the party going seamlessly. Weddings are hectic and there are so many moving parts; we did get behind schedule but we were still able to do everything we wanted to do. Our photo & video services were set to end, but Otis was very professional in discussing with us if we wanted to extend our video services, communicative on additional cost, at the moment. Our photographer, Ben, along with the team Stanford and videographer, Christina, were so fun to work with. Ben was great at providing direction, which is especially helpful since we were not used to posing. I have not received photo & video yet as it has only been a week, but from an experience standpoint, they were attentive to detail, communicative, and glided effortlessly through the event. My makeup artist, Vivi, is the sweetest person. She was super attentive to detail and my particular skin type. I was worried about makeup because I don't wear heavy makeup often. I ended up paying for a make-up trial, and I was so happy working with Vivi that I had no worries for the wedding day. We also added-on make up for our mothers, which Vivi did the morning of. The reception decor turned out so pretty! Everything was set-up as scheduled. I was really happy with the welcome backdrop and name sign. It was also great to take pictures with guests with the backdrop since we had time during cocktail hour. We asked TDE to incorporate a large screen as the backdrop of our sweetheart table, so we found an example from a previous wedding they did, and it turned out exactly as expected. We added the photo-booth, which was so popular with the guests! There were so many cool props and our guests were having tons of fun with it. I also sent TDE a custom drawing that I wanted for the photo strips- and it turned out just like I imagined. We chose Grand Dynasty as our reception venue, and TDE communicated set-up details with our restaurant event manager, Esmond, in the days leading up to the event. I highly recommend TDE and the team that we worked with! Thank you for making it an unforgettable experience. read more

We worked with TDE wedding for our Chinese style wedding banquet and they did a spectacular job! Throughout the planning process they had great communication, and provided guidance when needed.

We had the pleasure of having TDE for our wedding services. We're absolutely thrilled with how are big day turned out, thanks to the TDE team member's superb communication and coordination process. Our taskmaster Jessica was super helpful and responsive to our questions and she did a good communicating our vision with the rest of the TDE team. Otis was our officiant and MC and he did a good job facilitating the ceremony and reception. We had a minor hiccup with the boutonniere mix ups and he reassured us they will make things right and got the right boutonnieres for us during the reception. Carina was our day of coordinator and she was stellar on our wedding day, everything was executed exactly the way we envisioned, we didn't have to worry about a thing on our big day. Sam and his photography team did an amazing job, we really like how our photos turned out, they're certainly memories that will last for a life time.

Props to the decor crew and lighting crew for setting up the beautiful reception venue. Overall I would recommend TDE for your wedding service.

My friend who got married a year before, used and recommended TDE Wedding services for their wedding. My husband and I really liked their wedding video and photos and thought their services were really good. When discussing the different options and plans, we ended up choosing the Al La Carte services for their photographer, videographer, DJ, and Emcee. During the whole planning process, Jessica was super helpful. She helped create an expected timeline, what we wanted to capture, and how we wanted to plan things. Since we didn't have a wedding planner during this whole process and the day-of, she was an amazing coordinator that really helped ease a lot of my stress. During the day, the photographer, Sam, and Videographer, CG, were really professional and tried to cover and capture as much as they could in our busy day. At night, MC Chester was amazing at controlling the room's emotion and DJ Stuart made the dance floor fun for everyone to enjoy. Overall, I am super glad I found TDE Wedding to help me with my big day. I got so many compliments on all the services that I booked and will be recommending them to all my friends and family who is planning any events! read more

A big thank you to everyone at TDE for making our night unforgettable! From the moment we began planning to the day of the wedding--just around three months--TDE helped bring everything together into a celebration we'll always cherish. Jessica was amazing to work with throughout the process. She consistently shared helpful ideas for our banquet timeline and made sure all of our questions and preferences--especially regarding the backdrop, décor, and floral arrangements--were clearly communicated to her team. Her guidance made everything feel easy and well-organized. We went with the Glow All-Inclusive Package, which turned out to be the perfect choice. With such a short planning window, it took away the stress of having to coordinate multiple vendors and allowed everything to come together seamlessly. Special thanks to Otis (DJ), Sam (Photographer), Jackson (Emcee), and the setup crew for going above and beyond. They truly made the night even more special. We would absolutely recommend TDE to our family and friends! read more

Thank you TDE for helping make my wedding dreams come true! Throughout the planning process, Jessica was very responsive and had great communication. She never tried to upsell or pressure us but was always willing to accommodate any requests we had. Since TDE is so well-known in the Bay Area, they were able to bring a lot of ideas to the table, as they were very familiar with our venues. This helped me easily envision my wedding and get ideas from past weddings they've done before. I loved that I could use TDE for multiple wedding services, this made it super easy for wedding planning as it reduced the number of vendors I had to contact. I used TDE to help with decor, photography, videography, and the photobooth. Shoutout to the entire TDE team for making our wedding day so stress-free and enjoyable. I appreciate that most of their team also spoke Cantonese, it helped a lot, especially during family photos with my family members who didn't speak English. read more

TDE was recommend by our wedding coordinator. The staff was professional and very helpful in helping us decide what decorations and designs fitted out ideas for our wedding. I highly recommend TDE for anyone planning a wedding. read more

We had our wedding in late May and went with the Glam all-inclusive package with a few add-ons. Overall, it was a pleasure working with the entire team. Jessica managed our emails and did majority of the planning, Otis was our MC, Stuart was our DJ, Carina was our day-of coordinator, Francis did my makeup, Ben was our photographer, and Tango was our videographer. This was a few months ago so I hope I got all the names right. We also had a photo booth and an attendant from TDE, who was great to work with. Jessica was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the planning process. The templates and resources that TDE provided, including examples for design, photobooth photo layouts, and more, were very useful and helped guide a lot of our decisions. I really enjoyed working with Jessica. She was kind and communicative, even though we changed our minds a lot during the months leading up to the wedding. TDE also made our welcome sign and seating chart and customized it to our specifications. Wanted to note that we loved our decorations! Otis, our MC, was clear and easy to work with. He kept the evening flowing well and brought great energy to the event. He also speaks multiple languages, and although most of our wedding was in English, our parents and other guests appreciated the Chinese translations. Got some compliments on Otis from guests as well. Stuart, our DJ, met with us in advance to go over music clips and played our curated dinner playlist exactly as we had discussed. The entrance songs for our family and wedding party were timed well and went off without a hitch. Carina kept everything on track the day of the wedding. She helped print custom mini-menus for guests with dietary restrictions and made sure we were fed, calm, and mostly on schedule. Her support behind the scenes made a big difference. Francis was easily the best makeup artist I've ever worked with. I've been a bridesmaid eight times and no one else has come close. She has a great eye for enhancing Asian features and created two beautiful looks for me, one for the tea ceremony and another for the reception. I felt amazing and received so many compliments on both my hair and makeup. I also did a makeup trial with her about a half year before the wedding and she gave me options and advice which was very helpful so that I knew I was in good hands for the big day. Ben, our photographer, was great at giving direction and made us feel comfortable, especially during the tea ceremony when we weren't entirely sure what to do. The photos turned out beautifully, especially the outdoor shots. We did notice we were edited to look a little pale, but that's just one style and we still really enjoyed our photos. Tango, our videographer, delivered both a highlight reel and a longer documentary-style video. The quality was excellent and exceeded our expectations. I was very happy with how everything was edited and presented, especially considering some videographers charge twice the price for less impressive results. We received our photos about six weeks after the wedding and the video around two months later. We were happy with this timeline during their super busy wedding season. Our photobooth photos were ready about a day after the wedding. Our florals were also spot on for what we wanted, fresh, and very well done. Why not five stars? There were a couple disappointments on the dance floor. We spent a lot of time putting together a playlist for dancing, but most of the songs we included were not played. There's a note in the planning template that the DJ may not play all songs and will match the tempo for the playlist, but I still figured if we made a 2 hour playlist, at least half of the songs (especially if cut) will be played during the 1.5 hours. Instead, we heard a lot of mainstream tracks not on the playlist played in full. I later heard that there were a number of song requests from guests, and it seemed like Otis and Stuart were accepting them. The final song of the night was unfamiliar to me (later found out from Otis it was a request from early in the night) and when I asked to skip it, they did not right away. They eventually played one more final song and gave us a personal apology in person and by email, which I appreciated. I'm also grateful they asked for feedback after the wedding and met to discuss and improve based on it. Overall, I would totally recommend TDE to be your full service wedding provider! I'm super happy we got the package with TDE for our big day; saved us a lot of trouble for finding individual vendors and the quality of everything was very worth the price. read more

We had such a wonderful experience working with TDE! From the very start, they took the time to understand our vision and designed the most beautiful decorations that felt perfectly "us". They were also incredibly flexible and accommodating with our many requests and last-minute changes -- we always felt heard and supported. A special thank you to Carina, who was on top of everything and made sure no detail slipped through the cracks -- even stepping in when the venue coordinator wasn't keeping up. Also major shout out to Jessica, who kept us organized every step of the way. She tracked all the updates, changes, and deadlines, and made sure we had everything checked off before the wedding. And we can't forget Otis, our amazing officiant and emcee, who kept the energy up and made sure the entire day was fun, heartfelt, and never boring. The crowd loved him! We're also so thankful for the hair and makeup team, who made us feel confident and beautiful all day long, and the photo & video team, who were such a joy to work with. We can't wait to see the final photos and relive all the special moments! If you're looking for a team that's creative, professional, responsive, and genuinely cares about making your day perfect - look no further. Highly recommend! read more

We hired TDE for our wedding and were impressed by their patience and helpfulness. They listened to all our ideas, answered every single question promptly with extra advice and made us feel so so relieved. Their professionalism and attention to detail were evident from start to finish. Highly recommend if you are looking for a reliable one stop wedding shop. read more

My experience with TDE Wedding has been simply amazing! I'd like to give a shoutout to the team members that helped us on our big day! Jessica was our taskmaster and main point of contact. If I had to describe her, she is truly an angel and a superwoman. I don't know how she manages to plan and organize so many weddings with such kindness and patience. Whenever I encountered an issue or hiccup during the planning process, she was always just a phone call away and never failed to offer a solution. Knowing I wasn't going through this alone brought so much relief, as she consistently provided guidance and support throughout the entire journey. My makeup artist was Francis, who is incredibly talented at what she does. I learned that she previously owned a beauty school in her home country, where she taught others the art of makeup. She is very easygoing, loves to have fun, and isn't afraid to try new looks. Although her portfolio may not be extensive, she truly made me feel like a beautiful bride on my big day! All of my bridesmaids loved their makeup as well! Sam and his amazing team, along with CG and Christina, went above and beyond as our photographers and videographers. To this day, my husband and I can't stop complimenting how amazing they all were. We are not naturally comfortable in front of the camera, but Sam's guidance and humorous personality made the experience smooth and enjoyable. On the wedding day, we fell behind schedule and didn't have time to go to the Palace of Fine Arts for photos. Sam and his team immediately came up with a backup plan. Their positivity and great energy truly stood out. Even when things didn't go as planned, they handled everything with smiles on their faces. Despite the freezing cold weather, they made the entire process feel warm and fun! Last but not least, our emcee was Otis, who also served as our DJ for the night haha! Otis was absolutely amazing! He brought so much joy, energy, and laughter to our friends and family. We opted out of having a day-of coordinator (which we later regretted), but Otis stepped in seamlessly and ensured everything stayed on track during the banquet. Our wedding planning was not an easy journey, but TDE made the experience much easier in every aspect. Not only do they have an incredible team, but their designs are stunning as well. We received countless compliments on the photo backdrop, sweetheart table, welcome table, and lighting. Everything was absolutely beautiful, and we couldn't have asked for anything more. After months of planning together, it truly feels like we've grown close to the team, and we look forward to working with them more in the future :) read more

We just had our wedding and purchased the lite package with TDE with additional add-ons like the MC and extra hours for photographer and videographer. I would say TDE is the most reasonably priced compared to other vendors and their service on our wedding day exceeded our expectations. Weddings are very, very complicated to handle and the TDE team and our main contact Jessica was so organized and helpful to remind me on every small detail needed. Otis was also a great and hilarious MC for our wedding and our family and friends had a wonderful time. What I wish I did was hire their wedding coordinator because it definitely would've relieved a lot of stress from us and they are so well organized! Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for wedding planners. Here's a picture of an example of how well they decorated our cake table. I can't wait to get our photos and videos! read more

TDE Wedding - Wedding cake table decor - Wedding Planning Near Me - Millbrae, California

We initially inquired TDE about their decor package and after speaking with Otis during our initial consultation, he gave us the type of reassurance that made us feel confident we would be well taken care of for our wedding if we worked with TDE. We ended up also working with TDE on florals and hair and makeup after looking at their portfolio. Jessica was an absolute pleasure to work with - She has great attention to detail, quick response times, and she held our hand throughout the entire wedding planning process. She gave us good feedback when working with us on our timeline and she helped bring my wedding vision to life. Our florals were beautiful and in line with our theme and my bouquet looked just like the ones I had saved from Pinterest, down to the exact florals I requested. The decorating team on our wedding day did an excellent job setting up our arch, sweetheart table, cake table, sign in table, etc, and we received so many compliments from our guests. I am also extremely grateful to have Francis as my makeup artist. I did the makeup trial with her and I knew right away during the trial that I made the right choice. I don't typically wear a lot of makeup and Francis worked with me to help me discover the most flattering makeup styles based on my facial features. We had to do hair and makeup for 8 of us, and Francis along with two of her assistants did an excellent job making everyone look and feel their best on our wedding day. There were no issues with timing and everyone was done on time without any part of the process being rushed. Francis made me look and feel beautiful on my wedding day and she went above and beyond as a hair/makeup artist because she also helped me with my outfit changes, fixed my train, and held my veil as I was walking around the venue for photos. I cannot express enough gratitude for all of the TDE staff that we had the pleasure to work with throughout our entire wedding planning process. read more

TDE Wedding - TDE Decor & florals - Wedding Planning Near Me - Millbrae, California

My now husband and I begin working with TDE early February 2023 for our wedding day on January 6, 2024. The early stages of my wedding planning experience prior to working with TDE was extremely chaotic. I would receive multiple emails a day and quite frankly, I lost track of who I was speaking with. My husband began looking for all inclusive packages and came across TDE. We had our introductory call with Otis and we were immediately drawn to the organization of the wedding planning style. SF Bay Area is extremely diverse and Otis learned about our Asian versus Westernized approach to the wedding. All staff had such a rich and thorough understanding of Chinese wedding traditions, which is extremely helpful for ABC's in the Bay Area. For example, I told Francis many times that I want a half updo with my qipao, but she was persistent that Chinese brides have updos for the best look. I was anxious about time management, but she assured me that she will work with me so we have the best photos. I had my make up trial with her in March and she provided skin care advice for me to prepare for our big day! We also had the pleasure of working with Jackson, our MC who was able to cater towards my English and Cantonese speaking guests. Jackson was very flexible with our timeline, extremely approachable, and kept my guests entertained. We never met Jessica, but she plays such an important role in wedding planning! She is extremely prompt with email responses and thorough with all of your inquiries. She has strong communication skills within her team and keeps you on track of your wedding timeline. We did not meet our photographers and videographers until the day of. They were all extremely punctual and utilize their expertise to adapt to the environment and accessories I had available. Overall, I also appreciate that TDE staff are open to sharing their opinions. I had a circular backdrop but they advised us towards a different design when they realized there were high ceilings at my venue. TDE made wedding planning extremely smooth. I took a week off of work before my big day, but ended up going to work since it was fairly stress-free days before the event. I'm the first one my generation within my family to host a wedding reception and everybody had a wonderful time. Thank you TDE for your services, we can't wait to recommend you to local friends and family. read more

We absolutely loved working with the TDE team! From start to finish, everyone was so easy to communicate with--super responsive, organized, and just genuinely fun to work with. They made the entire wedding planning process feel seamless by consistently sending helpful updates and keeping everything on track. We really appreciated how flexible they were with our adjustments along the way and how they truly listened to our ideas. They brought our vision to life in such a beautiful and thoughtful way. Can't wait to relive our wedding day all over again when the photos and videos come back! Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a supportive and professional team that makes planning stress-free! read more

I was really excited to work with TDE, but if I could do it again, I would choose another company. They do have some amazing assets such as Jessica who will answer all of your emails and coordinate with different teams, and Otis who is an incredible incredible MC. Received lots of compliments about Otis from my guests! It always feels strange to ask someone you don't know to MC your wedding, but I wanted all my guests to enjoy themselves, and Otis really brought the party to life and kept everything very organized. If you're looking for an MC, 100% book Otis! I'm glad I at least got a great MC from TDE, because I booked them mainly for the elegant decor I saw online, which ended up being disappointing. TDE unfortunately lacks an eye for design and attention to detail. I was unable to be present for the reception set up because our photos ran late, and I trusted the team to carry out my vision, but there were a lot of details that were off, which ended up ruining the majority of the photos we took that night. I'm writing this review 7 months later because I get upset every time I look through my wedding photos, and we paid a lot for TDE. 1) The theme was all white so I paid $1000 extra for an extended all white backdrop for behind the sweetheart table to cover almost the whole wall, but the team placed two black speakers and a light right in front of the backdrop. So instead of having the glamorous all white wall we paid extra for, jarring black speakers were in all of our first dance photos, and right in between us while we were cutting the cake. Big yikes. They could have at least moved it forward to have distance from the backdrop or covered the bottoms with white. If this was the only way, it should have been brought up during planning. It still bothers me months after, and is the main reason why I'm writing this review because the equipment in all of the photos makes me cringe. I'm working on photoshopping them out. 2) The photo backdrop we rented from TDE was not centered with the wall that had our names on it, so our names were cut off in all the photos. I shared this plan with them beforehand, but they dropped the ball ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 3) Despite the all white theme, I walked in to all of the clear patron bottles we bought for each table still in their bright green boxes because the decorators thought it would "look nicer". I told them to please remove all of the boxes. 4) My husband's boutonnière was gigantic. Like huge. Wouldn't have been a good fit on anyone. Everyone noticed. My bridesmaids had to pluck the petals to make it more tasteful. I wish I could have better things to say about TDE because I was excited based on their yelp reviews and their familiarity with the venue I chose. I also really enjoyed working with Otis and Jessica, so I'm disappointed with this result. I didn't think I needed to be there to direct TDE on how to decorate since that's what I paid them to deliver. If you're more detail oriented and focused on design like me, I would look for another wedding planning company that boasts about their eye for design and bringing your vision to life. read more

Absolutely amazing from beginning to end. Their skill and professionalism are unparalleled. Don't hesitate to book them to get everything you need. It's hassle free, and honestly, I think it's very affordable to have 1 price to cover SO many vendors. They also work with other vendors well. They don't have an ego where if I decide not to do something with them or change my mind- there's no attitude. They're truly there just to make sure everything goes smoothly for us. I love how responsive Jessica is with emailing back and forth. I didn't feel stressed about anything because I knew TDE was going to handle whatever came up... I don't think anything came up, but I wouldn't know cause no one told me anything, hahaha. The entire team was phenomenal! Video, photos, HMU, decor, MC, DJ... I couldn't have asked for a better team. So many guests were impressed with the vendor team. The photographs and videos we received were AMAZING. It captured everything we wanted. Rewatching the wedding back brought such happy tears. read more

We hired TDE to set up a floor to ceiling drapes for a pretty large and tall wall at Grand Palace Seafood Restaurant for our New Year's Eve wedding. They also added led candles and a table skirt for our head table. They handled all communication with the restaurant to ensure setup and cleanup went smoothly. The drapes really brought the space to the next level. Their styling of the drapes and their communication through the entire planning process were impeccable. We wanted tear down to happen after midnight to enjoy the countdown, and they were able to make it happen. Very professional company! read more

I couldn't be happier with T.D.E. Wedding! They were incredibly organized and reliable from our very first meeting through the big day. Jessica helped us kept everything on track, responded promptly to every little silly questions we had to ask, and the whole TDE team made sure every detail was handled with care, beyond our expectation on the big day. I'm so glad I found T.D.E., and I'll definitely be recommending them to all our friends and family who are planning their weddings! read more

I'm so grateful for the TDE team and their services for our wedding in January. It literally would not have been possible without them. My husband and I planned a 180 person intercultural wedding in 6 months' time and was only able to execute because of TDE. Special thanks to Jessica (our account manager), Jackson (our MC), Carina (our day-of-coordinator), Francis (our hair & MUA). We went with the glam package so alot of services were already included, such as photobooth, photo, video, DJ, lighting, some florals, and decor. The ceremony & reception backdrops were amazing - we got so many compliments about it. I also loved the lighting, it made everything feel so special. I love Francis, she was so patient during our trial & she arrived early for the day-of and stayed sooo many hours. Everything turned out beautifully. Jackson was fantastic as an MC - we did a few "nontraditional" reception concepts and he was very engaging with the audience. Some things to note: - pay attention to what's included in your contract as anything that's not on there will be extra (e.g. speakers, centerpieces, backdrops) - we had some minor issues with the photobooth print outs (colors were off) but they were able to remedy - our digital photos & videos turned out nicely (very "classic" style), though some of our photos ended up a bit green hue for some reason - this is not a full planning service, unless you select that as an option! read more

I mentally prepared myself to expect things to go wrong since we only had less than 4 months to plan our wedding. The whole occasion turned out wonderfully, and credit goes to TDE! From the organized, responsive and experienced planner, Jessica, to the multitalented and experienced MC and DJ, Otis, to the energetic and efficient camera team, Sam, Ben and Tango, to the design/decor team that transformed the venue to an Alice in wonderland vibe, and last but not least the amazing make up and hair artists, Vivi and Shadow, who made me and the bridesmaids look beautiful...everything came together seamlessly in the end and I would highly recommend working with this reliable business if you need to plan a wedding! read more

TDE Wedding - Wedding Planning Near Me - Millbrae, California

5/5 stars - each star for organization, communication, professionalism, speed, and value. T.D.E. WEDDING made planning our wedding a breeze. Otis and his team was incredibly organized, kept everything on schedule and handled every detail with precision. We felt supported from start to finish and never had to worry about a thing. Highly recommend for anyone looking for flawless coordination. read more

TDE is an AWESOME company because they are all-inclusive. I initially booked them for the bilingual emcee, but grew to appreciate how this company did everything else as well! -Wedding planning (Jessica): 5/5 There must have been more than 200 email interactions between me and Jessica as we planned this wedding for a year. She is quick to respond and has a lot of insight since she's done so many. She is the only contact for all TDE vendors. -Photo (Sam/Danielle) / Video (Christina/George): 4.5/5 When you book with TDE, they assign a photo and video team immediately. I didn't book a pre-wedding photo session with them so I didn't get to meet or talk to them until the morning of my wedding. They were very professional and hard-working. I almost gave up on sunset photos because I was running a bit late but they convinced me to do it and I am grateful for that. Some photos were angled weirdly and it had the speakers and lights in the photos/videos. Lastly, although they never said they would, they didn't send me any sneak peek photos or video clips. I was told the final photos and videos would take about 6-8 weeks, but with so many other friends getting sneak peek photos after 1-2 days, I was hoping they would do this. I did ask for a few photos ahead of time for my thank you cards and that only took them 3 days to deliver five photos. -HMU (Francis and two assistants): 5/5 Francis is top-notch. I paid for all of my bridesmaids and the mothers, so it was 7 additional people but she was flexible in getting us all done on time. She also had hair pieces and jewelry that she let me borrow for the day. Her assistants aren't as good as her, but Francis was able to fix it upon request. -Emcee (Jackson): 5/5 We booked TDE for a Chinese/English emcee and Jackson nailed it. We met him a few weeks before the wedding. My family said he was entertaining and made some funny talking points. -DJ (Stuart): 5/5 everyone complimented our DJ. My husband and I kept shortening our first dance song even up until 2-3 days before the wedding, and Stuart was flexible with this. -Photobooth (Ku): 4/5 I extended to 4.5 hours to allow for the entire reception. At some point, it ran out of paper so this caused the photobooth to not work for some time. But while refilling the paper, they didn't tell anyone that they could continue to take photos. It wasn't until I asked when it would be back up, that they said "oh you can continue taking photos and it'll print once the new paper is in." But when you see people working on the system, you assume it isn't working. I wish they let the guests know this when it went down earlier so the guests can continue with it. -Decor: 5/5 they decorated my sweetheart backdrop, ceremony backdrop, tea ceremony backdrop, seating chart mirror, and welcome table. Everything looked beautiful and I got a lot of compliments. -Florals: 4.5/5 they did my bouquet, my bridesmaids bouquets, cake florals, and family boutonnières. The boutonnières were harder to pin on. I also wanted anemones but they could never definitively tell me yes or no about the anemones until the week of, and I ended up not being able to get them so that was a bit disappointing. They were still pretty though. In the end, I am glad I went with TDE. There are a few things that could have improved, but these are minor and could happen with any other vendor. I highly recommend them for any person who wants easy planning. read more

The whole TDE team went above and beyond our expectations! All the guests loved the wedding! It was incredible and so memorable. The whole TDE team - design team, PV team, florist, MUA, MC, & DJ were all incredible! Everyone was professional and friendly - and made the wedding planning smooth and a lot more stress-free. Everything was as perfect as we could've imagined. They are truly a one-stop shop for all our wedding needs. Big shout out to our TDE wedding planner Jessica for all the clear and quick communication. She was extremely easy to work with and allowed us to customize the wedding of our dreams. Design Team & Florist - the flowers, welcome photo backdrop, and sweetheart table and backdrop was grand and outstanding! Everybody loved it. It was exactly how we envisioned - the vibe was perfect. MUAH artist Francis did an amazing job. Everybody was complimenting the hair and makeup, and the photos and videos came out beautiful. She was extremely detail-oriented and such a perfectionist. MC Jackson was entertaining, funny, and easy going on the mic all night. He's super organized and made sure that all the events went smoothly and as planned. He took extra care to check in with everyone involved. DJ Stuart was very accommodating with our specialized entrance music choices and made sure that our timed playlist sets were played the way we visualized them to be. Photographer Sam & his PV team was awesome! They captured our memorable wedding day and made our wedding party have so much fun while doing it. They made us feel really comfortable in front of the camera and were flexible with our requests. The pictures and videos that were shared - they all came out so beautiful! Highly recommend TDE and their team! Thank you so much Jessica & TDE for making our wedding so amazing and so memorable for us and all our guests. read more

TDE was hands down one of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding planning process. From their professionalism to always going above and beyond, each and every single member of the TDE staff contributed in helping me have a perfect wedding. The process was very straightforward. My husband and I chose the Glam Package and we were set up with Jessica as our event coordinator. We worked with Jessica on the scheduling, deciding at what time certain staff members would show up, and for the timing of the event. The most convenient part about this process was we only had to coordinate with Jessica and she would then coordinate with the TDE staff. Instead of figuring out what is the best time for the decorators, photographer, makeup artist, etc should show up or confirm with multiple vendors on their availability, we just had to confirm with one person. Jessica was extremely flexible with all of our requests and was always willing to let us substitute items or change our schedule around (we had a lot of changes, we're indecisive people). Jessica would always be on top of it and make sure that everything was done. On the day of the wedding, the setup crew arrived on time and did a great job with the wedding decoration. My husband and I and all of our guests were blown away by the job TDE did. Francis, our makeup artist for the day, truly went above and beyond. She did a great job with my makeup, and even assisted my husband with putting on his bowtie, cufflinks and corsage. Sam, our photographer, went above and beyond with all of the picture requests we had. We took so many pictures that by the end of the day I was "pictured out." I didn't even think that was possible. He brought his own equipment, lighting, and had all the tools needed for a professional photoshoot. It definitely was worth it. Lastly, Jackson our MC did a wonderful job with not only MC'ing the whole event, but assisted us with making announcements, directing the crowds, and was the officiant! Overall, TDE made the entire planning process much more straightforward and simple. We definitely recommend going with TDE for your one-stop-shop for wedding planning and day of event coordinating. read more

Jessica and Otis did an amazing job helping us plan our wedding. Answered all of our questions no matter the time of the day. Super rapid response and provides exceptional recommendations based on their past experience with other wedding parties. They do an amazing job turning our dream wedding into a reality. The photographer team is amazing, great posing recommendations and made us super comfortable posing in front of the camera. The photo team were all super entertaining and professional. Our DJ Otis did a phenomenal job with the music transitions and had great music selection to match the vibe of the room. Design team did an amazing job at turning our wedding venue into our ideal vision color scheme. Everything was perfect. MC Jackson was the best MC we've ever experienced. Super funny and entertaining. All of our guests were super entertained and they all laughed a lot. He's super great with timelines and made sure we did all of our events that we had wanted for the night. MUA Francis did an amazing job as well. Everyone was complimenting my wife on how well her makeup looked and couldn't have chosen a better MUA. 10/10 best wedding that we could ever ask for. Highly recommend TDE and their team. read more

Despite it being super early (it was still dark outside at 5am) and my living room not being very big, Francis and her two assistants arrived early and was able to set up three makeup stations in my small living room. Her team worked quickly and effectively to finish the hair and makeup for ten girls in 4-5 hours and everyone was very happy with their looks. The artists were very easy going because my mom felt very comfortable getting her hair and makeup done professionally for the very first time in her life. Francis was super prepared with variety of fun accessories to match my hair and makeup looks and I loved that! I feel very fortunate to have Francis at my wedding because it was super hot at the venue location and Francis worked very quickly to refresh my look for each of my three outfit changes. Last but not least, the decor team at TDE delivered beautifully on the details that we discussed with Jessica in our planning worksheet. We were very pleased to see that the whole organization has great communication in order to carry out our visions into reality. I brought my own custom neon sign for the sweetheart table backdrop and TDE's set up team was able to hang it up perfectly just as I envisioned, so needless to say, we were very pleased with the work TDE has delivered and have been recommending their services to our friends. read more

It truly was the best day of our lives, thanks to TDE, everything was perfect. Special shout out to Jessica, Otis, Sam, Ben, Francis and our great videographers( my apologies for not catching their names)! We would not be able to have our dream wedding without each one of their support. We are lucky, grateful, and fortunate. Working with TDE has been the best decision ever and it was WORTH EVERY PENNY. TDE ROCK! We are impressed with each one of them and look forward to working with them again in the future. read more

TDE Wedding - Our wedding parties - Wedding Planning Near Me - Millbrae, California

My partner and I spent a good amount of time making many of our wedding-related decisions, but the one we made the quickest was definitely our decision to hire a day-of wedding coordinator. No matter how small a wedding of 50 can seem, there's nothing quite like the comfort of knowing that someone's got your back in making sure that things go smoothly on the day of. Carina (and Otis) of TDE delivered this for us and more. Just a couple of phone calls and document exchanges and she was able to connect with all our vendors and execute what we envisioned. Right after the wedding, I knew I had to thank her for the many split-second decisions she probably had to make because we were practically unreachable. We couldn't be bothered with the logistics because we were just present and in the moment! Everything flowed smoothly even though we did not have any rehearsals. Thank you, TDE! read more

We loved the entire TDE crew! From the beginning to the end, they were always really supportive! Our wedding wouldn't have been so successful without them - I highly recommend choosing TDE for your big day! read more

TDE Wedding - This was our guest backdrop! - Wedding Planning Near Me - Millbrae, California

If you want to save yourself a lot of time and headaches, definitely consider TDE Wedding! My then-fiance (now husband!!) and I were nearly at our wits' end with wedding planning when we stumbled upon TDE. We were tired of having to do the research of each vendor, sending back and forth emails for quotes, and doing this for photographer/videographer, florals, and more! TDE takes care of all these aspects, and more! Otis was very detailed with explaining the packages and cost breakdowns. Jessica, our account executive, maintained thorough and detailed contact with us throughout the many months leading up to the wedding. Vivi, my makeup and hair artist, was cheerful and did a very professional job, especially the foundation! Carina was an all-star as the day of coordinator, being extremely meticulous and made sure we were well hydrated all day. Sam was such a fun and creative photographer!! We just received our photos and he captured many wonderful and beautiful moments. Ethan was an easygoing videographer to work with. One of the major highlights was that I had a specific vision for how I wanted the arch design to be. I took reference photos from the Internet and shared with Jessica, who worked with the decor team to create mockups and share the iterations with me. The final design turned out *beautifully* with trailing flowers and leaves blowing in the light breeze on our wedding day! I'm so glad we went with TDE! It made the wedding day so special and stress-free. Thank you to the whole team that was involved! read more

I would give ten stars to TDE Wedding if I could for creating the wedding of our dreams. From the moment of our first intake call, TDE stripped away all the intimidating, stressful aspects of our wedding so that the planning phase was as easy as possible. We chose the Glam package and opted to add on a couple of a la carte services (such as engagement photos and engagement hair/make up). All in all, I feel like we had an excellent deal for the amount of services we received from TDE. First of all, Jessica was amazing - I probably had hundreds of emails spanning the months we worked together. Her responses were always prompt and it was clear that she spent a lot of time organizing all the little details and coordinating all of our services. The TDE decorating team did an absolutely flawless job with the decorations and florals for our wedding. We were stunned by our sweetheart table decorations. Our photography and videography team were also incredible. They totally captured the style we wanted for our wedding photos. We worked with Sam both for our engagement photoshoot and at the wedding and he did a great job of putting us in poses, finding the perfect backdrops for our photos, and putting us at ease when we felt nervous about getting photographed. A HUGE shout out to Carol and her make up team. Carol was absolutely spectacular, and my family and I regularly call her the "MVP" of our wedding day. Not only did she do my hair and make up along with my mother's hair and make up (and my mom got many compliments throughout the wedding day that she looked years younger than she actually was hehe), but she also did many touch up's even outside of the scheduled windows when she was supposed to do touch up's. She even made sure I had a beer in hand immediately after our ceremony and assisted the photography team in rounding up all our relatives for photos so we could blast through family portraits so my husband and I could head off for our golden hour photos. She also let me borrow the hair pieces I wore throughout the wedding day. Seriously, I cannot praise her enough and I think she was the most valuable asset to our wedding day. Bottom line - I wholeheartedly would recommend TDE wedding to any couple planning their wedding. read more

TDE was hands down THE best vendor we worked with for our wedding. Words could not truly describe how grateful I am for choosing TDE through and through! Wedding planning is definitely crazy stressful times but TDE has made it an amazing worthwhile process. As a bride (and this for anyone who's considering getting married in the future), I wanted team members that were responsive, professional, and and respectful. I wanted someone that was going to have our backs. TDE, especially Jessica were absolutely THAT for us. We hired TDE for decor and florals only but we definitely wished we hired them all for everything because of how much we loved working with them. We opted for the luxe package for decor and everyone definitely felt the "LUXE" of our event. I had a vision and Jessica/TDE team made sure that came true from our florals to the sweetheart table design to everything! Unfortunately the day of our wedding was the ONLY day with rain. This meant we needed to be flexible with our plans as we anticipated for an outdoor ceremony. However, Jessica being the amazing person she is came to our rescue! She was so open to my contingent plans and gave such great feedback (even from day 1). The indoor ceremony set up was SO beautiful. My guests could not stop raving about how gorgeous the set up was. Our parents were SO in awe with their work. I'm so so grateful for having TDE as part of our wedding team for their professionalism and creative process for giving us and our family the wedding of our dreams! Jessica, you are a true gem and the work you do shows your passion. We thank you for everything. If you're considering TDE, go for it! read more

Jessica has been helping my husband and I plan our 6/18 for about a year. We've exchanged emails daily, if not multiple times a day. Jessica was always very kind, even when I asked the silliest questions. She became one of my confidants in this lonely wedding planning journey. Although we never met in person, she had an amazing ability to make me feel comfortable. I am forever thankful for a wedding fairy like Jessica. Jackson, the MC, was a hit during the wedding! He's charming and so sweet, with the utmost professional demeanor. He made the event come alive. THANK YOU JACKSON! Stuart was our DJ for the evening and we all really enjoyed the tunes he played. We did provide some samples, but the songs he threw in there was such a vibe. My dad even came on the dance floor to dance! Shout out to you Stuart. Finally, the setup crew - you guys were on point the entire night. You guys transformed that restaurant into a light pink oasis. Anyway, I highly recommend TDE for their all-inclusive packages. Not only are the packages cheaper than most American wedding packages, TDE understands the cultural elements that may be needed at your wedding. Jessica and team has such a rich understanding of the Chinese wedding traditions which is extremely helpful for planning purposes. I highly recommend TDE. You will not be disappointed! read more

After attending multiple bridal fairs, we just didn't find any vendors that really stuck out to us so at a dead end, we decided to ask our reception venue manager for recommendations & TDE was one of them. We were already considering another one stop shop vendor but they weren't very good at responding and many times the emails were full of typos and bad grammar. We set up a meeting with TDE and after some consideration and trying to reach the other vendor with no avail, we went with TDE as our sole vendor for our wedding. The other driving point was that they do so many weddings at our reception venue, that it was pretty much a no brainer to go with them. TDE did everything from our engagement photos, wedding photos/videography, ceremony decor, DJ, MC, photobooth, makeup & hair, etc. I love how organized they are and everything for the wedding is documented on the word doc. That word doc aka SI to them was my bible and I referred back to it everyday before the wedding to see what action items was I still missing and what has already been done. We picked the diamond package, it was pricy but it was worth it because they streamlined everything for us and made sure we are always on the same page. Sam and Ben are awesome photographers and we felt very comfortable with them. They're very personable people who have great eyes for shots. I especially liked Sam because he was funny and always remained calm and went with the flow even when there are stressful and crazy stuff happening. For an example, I was trying to figure out where the easel was to hold up my canvas photo and do other stuff at the same time and I ended up handing over the canvas to Sam to hold for a "second". A second probably turned into a good 10 minutes but he didn't complain and instead said, "it's okay I'll model it for you like this" haha what a great guy! Alice was my makeup artist and she was very sweet and very patient. I liked working with her a lot. She even babysat my puppy for me during the whole reception! She was very fast and would get me in and out of my outfits really quickly and fix my hair and makeup. I really applaud her for all the hard work she did! I'd ask for her to be your MUA if you go with TDE. Jessica is awesome at her job and she was top of her shizz! I probably emailed her like a million times and she would be quick to answer, she even answered me on her day off! She's an extremely hard worker who handled everything logistic wise for us and without her, we probably wouldn't have be able to do our wedding in such a short amount of time! She always had updates for me, whether it was if my flowers were in stock or if the timeline is not realistic. She'd give me her honest opinion and suggestions and they were really helpful. Otis was our MC and he was amazing. We went off the agenda so much but he was calm and was really good about getting us back on time or trimming something to make up for lost time. He's fluent in English, Mandarin and Cantonese so he was perfect for our Chinese wedding. He was great with his composure and adaptability to our crazy amount of tea ceremonies and family member names to be named off. He was on top of it and helped moved everything fast fast fast one after the other. In midst of all the chaos, he was always sweet even to ask if we are okay and if we need a break or need anything else. After the wedding, he also chased us down to give us our custom gobo disc! The decor for our wedding was amazing! Our guests were talking about how nice everything looked! The photobooth was cute, I didn't have time to play with it but my guests had tons of fun! TDE provided lots of props. I wasn't really digging the gray background as you could see the wrinkles in the back. Go with the black curtain instead. You can pay an additional amount to customize your photostrips, my husband and I decided to go with 2 different designs, which were two of our favorite photos from our engagement session. Both strips were superrrrr cute!!! I was just bummed I couldn't get a photo when the new template changed. Def go with customizing your strips because it's basically your wedding favor and it makes it much more memorable for your guests! I highly recommend using TDE as your vendor for your wedding! Wedding planning is stressful as hell, make it easier on yourself and book professionals who knows what they're doing! They do everything under one roof so you don't even have to deal with the headache of managing multiple vendors and making sure every one of them gets there at the same time. My husband and I are already recommending TDE to our friends and telling friends to ask us for recommendations when the time comes for them to get hitched!! read more

It was a blast working with TDE's team. Everyone was super amazing and professional. They worked seamlessly with our venue and catering vendor. We would definitely recommend them to our friends. read more

TDE was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. For one, they offers very inclusive packages. Both my husband and I are too lazy to book music, floral, photo/videographers, MC, wedding planner and day of coordinator separately. And TDE offers us a easier and better option. Planning is exquisite, we have worked with Jessica, who is responsive and help us navigate different options and really nice to work with. And on the day, the onsite crews like Carina, Sam and other folks are super professional. They work with venue staffs nicely and making our wedding day so smooth and beautiful. read more

TDE Wedding - Wedding Planning Near Me - Millbrae, California

TDE did an amazing job for our wedding banquet. During these tough COVID times to try to plan anything like a wedding, TDE actually had to deal with us cancelling not once, but two times before finally getting our special evening planned out and ready to go. TDE provided a complete package that included the MC/DJ, decorations and photography! We had the pleasure of having Otis as our MC and he was able to take on that task as well as coordinate the evening for us. We were pleasantly surprised with the team's ability to be flexible as we did have a few unexpected occurrences throughout the night. We couldn't have been happier with TDE's services and would definitely recommend them to anyone. read more

Going with TDE was the best decision we did for our wedding planning. Jessica was super patient with getting all the information on how we wanted our wedding to be, and we had many last minute requests. Otis was the perfect MC, as we needed someone who was trilingual in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. Sam and all the photographers/videographers (sorry, forgot their names) captured every moment perfectly from our engagement shoot to the actual wedding. TDE took away a lot of the stress that's involved in planning a wedding, especally one that was delayed for over a year due to COVID. Everything turned out to be perfect the day of and exceeded our expectations! read more
