Our dream wedding came true!
Very happy how my wedding turned out! I feel like I may be one of the few brides to say that my wedding day was absolutely magical, and I would do it all over again the exact same way! Ho-Tai and Brenda were very professional and very creative in making my big day beautiful and run smoothly. I appreciated how patient they were with me as I was trying to figure out my exact vision. They had all the right connections like booking the perfect videographer, photographer, catering, etc. They work diligently on keeping within the budget I had set! They always figured out a way to make it work with my budget without me feeling like I was compromising the quality and beauty of my special day. I will forever look back at my wedding day with joy, it truly was a dream come true!

Beautiful Experience
I’m a wedding photographer who meets many wedding planners and designers. What makes Brenda & Hotai different is how much passion they put into the decor. I shot 2 weddings with them so far and I love how even though both brides asked for a rustic vintage look, Brenda & Hotai provided it, but also made them look totally different from each other. Brenda customizes furniture to give off that real rustic look and not something that was purchased at Target or TJ Maxx. Every piece she uses for each wedding is customized specifically for that wedding and that puts her above the rest.

Made the experience of planning my wedding amazing!
I had a great experience working with Brenda and Ho-Tai. Not only are they great with designing, but their planning and organization made my wedding day go smoothly and stress-free. They took care of the planning and coordinating so that my husband and I could fully enjoy our special day. They are so kind and thoughtful and truly listen what you envision for your wedding and make it happen! I highly recommend them!
