The wedding was in San Mateo, CA, so all reviews pertain to Nor-Cal vendors.

DJ- Denon & Doyle- A+++

I can say with great confidence that if you go with Denon & Doyle, you will not be disappointed. They were by far the best vendor that I had the opportunity to work with. From start to finish, they were attentive and caring, asking if I needed any other referrals, etc and even over-nighting a showcase dvd with a bag of popcorn (what a nice touch) and all this was BEFORE I had even booked them! Our DJ was Chris Mowery- he was fantastic! I cannot rave enough about him! He went above and beyond our expectations, from making sure everyone, esp our wedding party had drinks and food, to giving tips to our best man and maid of honor before their toasts. He rocked the music all night long and had people on the floor. We have gotten so many great compliments on the wedding, esp of Chris, I am so happy that we went with Denon & Doyle.

Ceremony/Reception site- San Mateo Marriott- A+

Another great find. The hotel is right of Hwy 101. It's surprisingly large, once you get in it and the hotel has been recently remodeled. The ballrooms are classic and large. There is a great outdoor gazebo that's cute and perfect for any size wedding, up to 300 people. The hotel staff, esp Nicole, the event coordinator, is great. We really felt like a king and queen on our day. There was never the need to get up or ask for anything, staff was on had to make sure our drinks were always refilled, that the food was good, etc. The prices for packages are a bit high, in my opinion, but you really get what you pay for. Plus the added bonus of having everything (ceremony, cocktail hour and reception) all in one place is well worth it.

Cake- Kathy's Kreative Kakes- A+

We worked with Kathleen and she was great. We came in with a specific design and she followed it to a T. Everyone commented on how great our cake both looked and tasted. The cake came with our catering package through the hotel, so I can't speak of the prices.

Photographer- Terra Tabbytosavit- TBD

Waiting for our photos, will review after.

Florist- Mystic Garden- B-

The prices are great here, but the quality of customer service was a bit lacking. The prices were much better than we found at any other florist (~$100 for bridal bouquet, $65 for bridesmaids, $8-9 for the wedding party bouts). When the flowers were delivered, there were a few mistakes (the head table centerpiece vase was the wrong size) and the guy who was there to set up the flowers disappeared! Luckily the hotel staff stepped in and helped, but they shouldn't have had to.
