Hey everyone! Hope you're all doing great!
I’ve been having such a hard time lately trying to track down reliable bands and photographers here in San Diego—those are easily the two most important things for any event!🙄
It looks like everyone is raving about Pixar lately! Does anyone know where I can find their official website? I just can't seem to track it down.🤷 I honestly can't even bring myself to look at their work!
Same here—Susie seems like a solid choice, but I read somewhere that she’s pretty pricey. If anyone knows what a basic package actually costs, please shoot me a DM!
It looks like I might have to fly in a photography studio from New York City along with all my guests! 😁
Those few units we were eyeing in New York City? They're already spoken for. Everyone beat us to the punch!
Second thing—bands. We were really aiming to be the trophy-winners for our big date!
To my dear little mandarin orange and all the young ladies growing up here in San Diego—I have to tell you, Susie and Tempo are hands down the absolute best duo in town!
When I'm down in San Diego, there is absolutely no one else I'd trust with my photos besides Susie and her wonderful husband!🙏👍 They are absolutely wild, but man, that photo is stunning! When it comes to weddings, they really go all out—it’s not just giving 100%, they’re hitting 150%.
They aren't any worse than that Art Studio in Newport everyone claims is "the best." Honestly, they’re only the best if you want to give yourself a massive headache trying to figure out their pricing!
Susie just picked up her mid-tier package! $1667 Honestly, that’s a perfectly fair price for the kind of work being done! I actually paid a similar amount for a freelance designer in San Diego last year, and it was worth every penny.
For that price, you’re getting quite the haul! You get a photographer on hand from the start of the ceremony right up until the bouquet toss, a beautiful album featuring about 130 to 140 professionally edited shots, a CD of those highlights, and a full DVD containing every single photo taken at the venue. It includes all those tiny little details that most guests probably miss, plus everyone captured in all sorts of funny, candid poses!😂
They just work around the clock starting from February 14th and catch everything!
I honestly don't regret spending a single cent on them! It was worth every penny.
This album is absolutely stunning! Every time my girlfriends come over to visit, I find myself pulling it out to show them again—I honestly admire it just as much every single time. They are simply the best!🙏
Tempo was absolutely fantastic! They really know how to set the mood, and I had such a blast because they played exactly the kind of music we wanted to hear. It was great seeing everyone from the kids to my older relatives out on the dance floor together. Their rate was... $2667 They truly earned it!
By the way, before I wrap this up, I really need to give a huge shout-out to Sylvia—she did such an incredible job decorating the hall and the church!
Hey everyone! If you need any advice, please feel free to ask. I remember when everything was brand new to me, too!
Joanna, thank you. You've been such a huge help.
I'm heading to New York City this weekend, so I'll check out the Suzy Price you mentioned for the basic package. It doesn't look bad at all compared to what things cost in NYC. One thing though—Suzy doesn't provide the camera herself, right? So, I'd have to factor in the extra cost for a camera, but the real issue is where to find one that isn't tied to the photo package.🤷🤔
We'll get to hear Tempo at a party we're attending soon, but it might be too late by then—they might already be booked for our date. We'll try to see them perform this weekend instead.
Since you've been so helpful in guiding me—do you happen to know anyone in NYC who does great makeup? Nothing heavy like stage makeup, just something natural that lasts all night? And also, someone who does amazing hair?
Thank you, thank you 🙂
