Coordinators/Planners

A K Designs

43 Nordhoff St
San Francisco, CA United States

Rating:

Alicia was great. She communicates very well and has a ton of wonderful ideas. The flowers were simple and elegant just like we wanted. She was an incredible coordinator the day of the wedding too. She kept everything moving so that I didn't have to worry about a thing!

Bands/Live Entertainment

Hale Baskin

Woodside, CA USA

Rating:

Hale and her jazz band were great. They set the tone for the cocktail hour and dinner - laid back and fun. Hale has an amazing voice and the band was excellent. I would highly recommend them.

Limos/Shuttles

F & M Transportation

Alameda, CA United States

Rating:

F & M seemed a bit unorganized, but the bus was on time to pick everyone up (some of the guests were late though - so plan for that). They did get a little lost on the way to the venue, but everyone still got there in plenty of time.

DJs

Fog City Entertainment Inc

101 Hickey Boulevard
South San Francisco, CA United States

Rating:

If I could give 10 stars I would! DJ David rocked the wedding. He mixed old school with new songs and everyone was dancing.

Bands/Live Entertainment

Synchronicity

Union St
Oakland, CA

Rating:

Synchronicity set the tone for the pre-ceremony and ceremony. They played everything we wanted and more. They are professional and extremely talented.

Rentals

Illusions Lighting Design

19445 Riverside Dr
Sonoma, CA United States

Rating:

I would give them 1 star on customer service and 4 stars on the actual lighting. 1 star because I wanted to talk about the lighting more than once and Larry was too busy. I also wanted to pay him before the wedding and he was too busy to give me an exact estimate.

Cakes/Candies

Debbie Does Cakes

Oakland, CA

Rating:

YUM! Everyone LOVED the cupcakes. We were able to choose the flavor of cupcakes (we chose chocolate and vanilla), the filling (chocolate ganache, rasberry, vanilla buttercream, and chocolate buttercream), and then the icing (choc. and vanilla buttercream)

La Bella Party rentals had almost everything that I wanted for the wedding. They have been bought out by another company and have a even bigger selection now. They were on time and professional.

Ceremony and Reception

Cornerstone Gardens

Rating:

Cornerstone Gardens is an AMAZING venue. We had pre-ceremony wine, iced tea, lemonade, fruit and cheese as guests arrived, our ceremony was under the tent outside, then the cocktail hour was in the barn with a jazz band playing, lots of passed appetizers, and more wine, beer, and champagne, then guests went to the vineyard lawn for dinner and dancing under the stars. The staff at Cornerstone was incredible, attentive, organized, and very sweet. We had Cornerstone cater the wedding. The food was delicious and the service was top notch.

Rating:

Great hotel, nice rooms, fabulous restaurant, in the heart of Sonoma. The only down side would be that we could only block out 7 rooms. To block out more rooms they require you to hold an event (dinner, breakfast) which run $5,000-$10,000 each.

Friday Wine Tasting

Nicholson Ranch Winery

4160 Napa Rd
Sonoma, CA 95476, US

Rating:

Nicholson Ranch has great wine and incredible views of the Carneros Valley. The staff was wonderful. We offered wine tastings, wine tours, cheese/fruit/nuts/olives/bread, and chocolate from Woodhouse. They did not charge an event fee because we held the event during bussiness hours. It was perfect for the Friday evening before our wedding and out-of-town guests loved the wine tour.

Restaurant

Sunflower Cafe

Sonoma, CA US

Rating:

The back patio is great. It would be great for a brunch or rehearsal dinner.
