Lets start with Chanda the Owner/planner for this company being late on the day of the event…read more Eventhough a week prior to the wedding she informed us that she and her crew would be at the location early to set up. Well, I the Groom got there before she did. About 30-45 minutes later she got there. And her "crew" which is 1 person (a week prior, she said she would have atleast 3 person. 2 person setting up the ceremony location and 1 person assisting the bride.) about 5 minutes after getting there, she left to get the flowers. She was gone a loooong time and did not cwnme back till about 10 minutes before ceremony. My bride was furious and cried out of frustration as Chanda the planner who should have been there to supervise and lead the event (as she gave us a timeline of what would take place a week prior) is MIA. Meanwhile i was waiting outside with all the guest where a nice jazz music should be playing (again as she told us a week prior) unfortunately the sound of the IPOD dock that she brought (not a big enough speakers like she said a week prior) was drowned by the sound of the ocean! So my bride walked out to pretty much no music. So much for picking out songs which she had as do. Now lets get to the photos. The photographer arrived at the location just a bit after i did, which was great. EXCEPT Chanda did not give the photographer the SHOT LIST we filled up months prior to the wedding. A few weeks ago she told us that the CD of the wedding photos had been sent our way. Its been about 3 weeks and still have not receive it. Mind you we are just probably just an hour away from each other. Why not just meet up, you wonder? Well my wife is repulse by Chanda and how she made our wedding tacky, cheap, and somewhat unpleasant. i write this review as suggested by wedding officiant who was hired by Chanda. The wedding officiant swore that this would be her first and last business with Chanda as she did not like how Chanda dealt with our wedding. Chanda was MIA much of the time that the officiant suggested that we should go on with the ceremony.

Tina did a phenomenal job with our wedding! From our first conversation, to the day of the wedding,…read moreTina was responsive and on top of everything! She made sure we had a stress-free and fun wedding day! I had little to no concerns throughout the day. She helped us during rehearsals to make sure we had the correct placements (which was super helpful!) The day of our wedding, Tina worked tirelessly before and after the wedding by making sure everything was in its place, and making sure the day flowed according to our timeline. I'm still shocked at how everything flowed so perfectly with little to no hiccups (that I knew of). Tina took care of everything from the moment I arrived at the venue to the moment we left. If you are considering Tina as your wedding planner, we highly recommend her!

Looking for the perfect wedding DJ was high on our priority list; my husband and I both agreed that…read morethe girl for our wedding was that everyone have an awesome time, dance all night and leave our wedding saying "that was the best wedding ever!" and because of Anthony, Turn Up the Music and our awesome DJ Courtney we got just that. I spoke extensively with Anthony before picking our DJ, he never made me feel pressured and answered any questions I had and never made me feel bad for asking questions (which a few unmentioned DJs had). After we decided to go with Turn Up the Music Anthony put us in touch with Courtney Geigle who would DJ our wedding, and Courtney was AMAZING! He answered every phone call, every email, every question I had without hesitation. We had an awesome Skype session with Courtney before the big day, and it felt like talking to an old friend who was going to DJ our wedding. We went over every single step of the wedding, and talked about having a multicultural wedding (I'm Hispanic and my husband is Jewish so things like the dollar dance and the Horah were important to us). Day of Courtney showed up early and had everything set up perfectly; all the songs we had chosen for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception were played perfectly. During the reception he explained to my family what the Horah was, and to my husband's family what the dollar dance was. He knew when to make important announcements and when to let people dance. He even played music for all the different generations at our wedding to dance to. I can't recommend Turn Up the Music, Anthony or Courtney enough. All our guests raved about what an amazing job Courtney did; honestly our wedding would not have been the amazing event it was without these guys. And everyone did leave saying "that was the best wedding ever!" Mission accomplished, thanks guys!!!!!

She assisted me as a Day of Coordinator for my Reception Venue. It was no easy feat. Her & her team set up our ballroom for 250 people. Not once did she have to ask me a question about where does this go, or what do you want me to do with this - I knew I could trust her ability to set up the ballroom and she definitely delivered. I highly recommend her if you need any help planning your wedding - she will be a life saver and help keep the stress level low and allow you to enjoy the day! Thank you Dawn!

My wedding was a fairy tale. It was everything I could've dreamed of and more thanks to Dawn & her…read moreteam. I met Dawn at a bridal convention and was the lucky winner of photo booth services for our big day...little did I know that this small meeting would save my butt down the road! I started wedding planning with my husband deployed and let me tell you-planning a wedding is a lot more work than getting a "The Knot" book and going on Yelp for vendors. There's so much more work than it seems. I called Dawn halfway through and told her I needed a bit more help than just photo booth services. From the start, Dawn was on it. She started sending me different options for vendors I needed, checking in with me to see how I was doing with my OCD planning, and communicating with vendors to ensure everyone was on the same page. We met and she was able to get an idea of how my husband and I had envisioned our special day. She made several trips to meet Hack and I and discuss where we were, to meet vendors with us, and walked us through every step of planning...giving us piece of mind every step of the way. She is very organized, punctual, professional, and so so so sweet. One of the best choices I made while piecing together the best day of my life was choosing Dawn & her team to coordinate it. Like any important day...there were bumps in the road of planning-none of which were too tough for Blue Heart Weddings to tackle. I would recommend her in a heartbeat whether you need her for everything, the hectic month of, or even just simply for a week of. I would recommend Blue Heart Weddings to anyone and everyone planning a special event. Dawn & Jaydyn, I cannot thank you guys enough for all of your help! You were so very assertive to me, Jack, our entourage and we are so thankful for all you have done. We love you guys so so much! Xoxoxoxo

Mr. Bill is the BEST!!! We were referred to him through our reception venue, the FantaSea Yacht…read moreClub in Marina del Rey, and it was one of the best things to happen to our wedding! Since he sells from the LA Wholesale Flower Mart in downtown Los Angeles, the prices are simply unbeatable. We got quotes from a few other florists for the exact same flowers we were ordering from Mr. Bill and they wanted to charge two and three times more than he charged us for the exact same thing. Because of this pricing, we were able to go with really gorgeous flower arrangements and have more flowers than we could have for the same price somewhere else. Besides pricing, the best part about Mr. Bill and Michelle at this place is their enthusiasm, kindness, and willingness to help you find your vision and run with it. Mr. Bill was so receptive to our ideas/thoughts and helped us brainstorm the perfect bouquets and arrangements. When the day of the wedding came and I got to see the flowers in person, they were perfect and even more beautiful than I anticipated. They also lasted ALL DAY! No wilting or falling apart, etc. Everything looked as nice at the end of the night as it did when we got them at 10:00 am! Mr. Bill can be bad about e-mailing back promptly, but is great on the phone and really does work his booty off for you. The pricing, service, and quality combined simply can't be beat otherwise. Call him up, go meet with him, tell him your budget, and watch the magic happen. Trust me -- you simply won't be disappointed!

Flowers by Appointment did a terrific job on the flowers for our summer wedding. We met with Mr…read more Bill's assistant at the flower mart only about two and a half weeks before the wedding. My wife did all the deciding and I just agreed to everything but she picked some combination of roses and peonies in pink. We worked with the assistant for about an hour deciding on what we wanted for bouquets, boutineers, tables, and the altar. She had a lot of good tips on how to work in the wedding colors of pink and brown. We made a few changes to what we ordered by e-mail soon after our meeting. The day of the wedding everything showed up as ordered and without a hitch. I though the table arrangements and the bouquets were particularly beautiful. I thought the altar itself was a little sparse but I don't think other people noticed. We had no choice but to use Flowers by Appointment because we had booked our wedding through Fantasea Yachts but I would not hesitate to use them again. They were professional and talented at what they do. 12 table arrangements, 6 boutineers, 4 bridesmaid bouquets, the bride's bouquet, and the altar came out to about $700-$800.

Her vision, creativity, hands-on attitude and cool demanor made the whole process smooth and nearly effortless for us. As the bride, I never had to stress about any details because I knew Alanna had it all covered. Best of all, when the wedding venue that we had chosen tried to back out of certain offers, costs and day-of amenities, Alanna took an assertive, professional stance with the venue and made sure everything worked out. She was always on our side and she worked tirelessly until long after the last guest had left the reception. You will not be disappointed because nowhere else will you find the exceptional creativity and hardworking attitude that Alanna has!" Honestly this review says it all. She also kept me calm and focused and I was able to watch my baby girl get married and really enjoy the day. Thank you again Alanna for being so amazing.
