Jessica and Paul's Wedding
Irvine, CA, USA, May, 2008
"Our wedding was great! There are a lot of options in Orange County and it gets overwhelming but if you do your homework and keep searching, your wedding can truly be reasonably priced. My vendors were amazing and made it stress free. I tried to make this a "green" wedding and kept my vendors local and with ethical practices. That makes me feel good. May is a great time of the year in Irvine, the weather was perfect. Oh, and Wedding Mapper was a great resource to share with our guests. We'd highly recommend using it!"

Christine was absolutely wonderful! The variety of flowers were amazing. This is an organic florist and makes sure the farmers get a fair wage. So not only is this company reasonably priced, ethically you should feel good about using the Spiraled Stem.

Irvine, CA, USAI've never been to a wedding that so many people danced to. Sergio did an amazing job keeping people on the dance floor without playing lame games or bad songs. Well done!

When you first walk in, it seems like a hole in the wall but then find that this is a diamond in the ruff as they say. Marcelo, was great. The cake was one of the best I've had and half the price of the other guys. Absolutely beautiful!

This company was very professional. The shuttle was wasn't "pimped-out" like some can be. The shuttle driver was in a tux which is also nice. Highly suggest it.

This is an amazing location to get married at. There is an outdoor gazebo with the trees surrounding it to keep it secluded. It was also reasonably priced compared to other locations. The staff is incredibly helpful throughout the entire process.

This hotel was wonderful. They were incredibly accommodating. If you have a lot of people from out of town, it's nice to have an included full buffet breakfast and a nightcap with a cookie in the evening. Everything was clean and comfortable. Also, they give a killer group discount rate!
