This is an overdue post, but I really want to thank Aggie, her team, and the external vendors that…read morehelp my husband and I plan our wedding day! My wedding day wouldn't have been a success without their help! A while back, my friend told me that she used One Plus One Wedding Services (OPOWS) for her wedding in 2019. She had good things to say about them. My SIL's friend also used OPOWS, so I figured that if a few of my mutual connections have used this vendor, then I should work with them as well. Since I didn't have a wedding planner, going with a one-stop shop wedding services package was definitely a big help. It made my wedding execution seamless! I reached out to OPOWs about a year before my wedding date. Aggie is the main person who runs OPOWS. Aggie was super responsive with our conversations. She informed me about the wedding service package options. I decided to go with the Plus Package option which includes: photographer, videographer, wedding dresses (which I didn't use), Emcee, DJ (I gave the DJ our custom playlist since my husband and I wanted to pick our songs), hair and make-up artist, reception decorations, and chair covers. We scheduled to meet a few times before my wedding. Aggie was super helpful with providing recommendations and tips. I could tell that she really cares about her clients and wants to leave a good impression. Nearing my wedding date, she provided me with a run down schedule so that I could coordinate with her team and the external vendors that she partnered with. We made sure that my wedding day itinerary made sense. On the day of my wedding, I met most of my vendors in person. I was definitely stressed out because I always have this fear that something will go wrong. But to my surprise, all of my vendors did an excellent job on my wedding day. I could tell that they really enjoyed their job and tried to help me make the most out of my wedding day. Throughout the wedding and after the wedding, I received so many compliments from my guests in regards to the wedding decorations, the vendors we used, and etc. I made sure to advertise OPOWS to my guests in case they want to work with a one-stop shop vendor haha. Thank you again Aggie and team! My wedding day was very memorable and filled with happy memories! NOTE: If you're Chinese and can speak some Cantonese, this would make communicating a lot easier. Aggie, her team, and the external vendors that she works with are Chinese. There was a slight language barrier when communicating with Aggie and the external vendors since my Chinese isn't that great haha. But overall, we were able to communicate and get through the wedding planning!

One Plus One did an amazing job planning and executing our wedding! We booked the highest package…read moresince I was really interested in a package that included engagement photos and OPO had the most competitive prices. We paid extra for our photographer (Tang) and my MUA (Hera) was amazing. Hera was my main point of contact regarding any upgrades, questions, or changes to our package. While Hera was on vacation, I worked with Aggie to discuss and finalize the decorations of the venue. I picked out my potential dresses months in advance and Hera put them on hold for me as another bride was interested in one of the dresses I picked out. The MC and DJ were assigned a month before the actual wedding to discuss a song list and anything the MC needed to confirm and know in advance. Our MC was Jason and he was very lively and made the night more fun with his enthusiasm. The entire team was very patient and worked with me throughout the whole planning process as I had many questions and requests. I'm really glad I booked OPO because I didn't need to deal with additional vendors and could focus on what I really wanted for my wedding that OPO didn't cover. Everything came out amazing and I would highly highly recommend their service for anyone debating on booking a package for their wedding.

We went with their Storytelling Style package, which exceeded all of our expectations. Leading up to the day, we walked through the timeline with Christina to align on the schedule and highlights we wanted to capture. When the day came, they were so professional and knew exactly how to capture the moments to translate the tone of our wedding into the video. Thanks to them, we were able to enjoy our day stress free and have all our special moments captured. Less than a week later, they shared the highlight video with us and sent out the full video. Thank you Christina and George!!

They have a very extensive portfolio on their website, which I loved as it really gave me a sense of the style of filming and editing they do. Once I sent an inquiry, Christina was very responsive and informative. She was also great with communicating with us and our other vendors the few weeks leading up to the wedding, making sure her team's equipment would work with our DJ's audio setup. On wedding day, Christina was absolutely lovely to work with. As someone with no experience being on camera, I loved that she gave tips on suggested movements to make that appeared really natural and beautifully on camera. She made us feel at ease with all the advice. Christina's ability to speak Chinese was a great bonus - it made coordinating with our Chinese-speaking family members much easier and kept everyone on the same page. The finished products turned out amazing. I couldn't be happier with the videos provided and how well everything turned out. Thank you so much to Christina and the team for making our wedding day so special! I'd absolutely recommend working with Filmman Video for anyone looking for a wedding videographer - you definitely won't be disappointed with the results.

We worked with Amos Productions (DJ and decorations/lighting) for our wedding. Firstly, the staff…read moreat Amos productions are so friendly and responsive. They always gave us options and quotes promptly when we asked, even when it came down to the wire (Melissa and Michael Gilmore). The lighting and set decorations we rented from AMOS productions made the venue look so beautiful. Michael seems very familiar with most of the venues in the East Bay and gave us amazing suggestions to make the reception look good while still being attentive to our budget. DJ Kevin was our DJ for our wedding. I cannot say enough good things about DJ Kevin. From the get go, he was on top of EVERYTHING. During our meetings, he helped us organize and time our entire day (music, activities, timing, setting). It's very obvious that he has DJ'd a ton of weddings but he is completely attentive to your needs and tastes. Even when we made changes last minute, DJ kevin accommodated all of our needs and integrated everything. Our ceremony was absolutely perfect, he timed all the music perfectly and made the atmosphere so beautiful. He MC'd our ceremony so well, making all the guests feel comfortable and aware of activities/locations. DJ Kevin was very attentive to our taste in music and curated the MOST AMAZING dance floor. I thought I had a good idea of what i wanted, which he took into account, but mixed the songs SO perfectly and also added in absolute bangers in between. We had guests age 9-90 dancing all night. Everyone was so disappointed when the night had to end. If we had to do it all over again, we would work with DJ Kevin without a doubt. Thank you AMOS productions and thank you DJ Kevin for making our day as perfect as it was.

Things went really well during the initial call I made to Adam. I found him on Yelp and was excited…read moreto reach out to him due to his outstanding reputation and reviews. We actually connected on a lot of topics and the call went really well. It took some time to land on a date and I take full responsibility for that. After some back n forth we had discussed some dates via text and the ball was in his court to get back. Well...unfortunately the ball was dropped. I attempted to leave voicemails and most recently reached out to him via text. I'm no longer getting any sort of replies from Adam. His services may be good but I can't say I've tried him out yet. As far as communication goes there seems like there could definitely be some room for improvement.

We are generally shy and awkward in front of the camera but Adam put us both at ease during our engagement shoot. He was very reassuring too when my wife thought it wasn't going as well as she had hoped. During our wedding, Adam beautifully captured all our special moments with the people we love. We like his style and the different poses he had us try. We have enjoyed viewing our photo gallery so far. The only thing that could've been better was his promptness in communication (resulting in this 4-star review). Sometimes we didn't hear back from him in a timely fashion about basic but important information, and could go several days without a reply. A response often times would only come after a repeat message to him. Although, we understand things happen, being more timely with phone calls/appts certainly would've earned a 5-star experience! It may help future potential clients to know up front what sort of communication or timeframe to expect. Aside from this, we enjoyed working with Adam and are grateful for his skill and expertise to capture our special day. Thank you, Adam!

I never thought I'd look at an image of myself and think it was beautiful. I'm usually really…read moreuncomfortable when being photographed, but I felt so comfortable working with Shannon. She was able to help me with poses and caught the best angles. I can't stress the angles enough, she maneuvers the camera until she finds the shot and it makes all the difference. Her experience shines through in the way she manages her projects. I was able to work with Shannon on the Redefining Beauty project. She was able to come into my home, spot the best lighting, and create photogenic spaces that I wouldn't have thought would look good in photos... but somehow she made it happen and my photos came out AMAZING. I love how professional she was throughout the entire planning process. We had consultations prior and I was able to stay in contact afterwards. She even helped with planning the photo shoot concept. Honestly, she does way more than any other photographer I've ever worked with. When you hire Shannon you're not just hiring someone to take pictures, you're getting so much more. I received my edited photos quickly and on a cool online platform I can revisit anytime. The photos are beautifully edited and such a high quality. I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Shannon is an amazingly talented photographer who can make magic happen in any circumstance. I'm so grateful for the images I got of me and my daughter. I look forward to working with Shannon again!

Nothing felt awkward or staged, which was huge for us. They somehow managed to capture all the important moments without making it feel like there was a camera in our faces all day. And final product was amazing. The full wedding video turned out beautifully, but the wedding day trailer is what really blew us away. It perfectly captured the vibe, emotion, and little moments from the day. We've watched it so many times already and sent it to friends and family who all said the same thing: it feels like a movie. The editing, music, pacing -- it all just worked. Watching it brought us right back to the day and reminded us of moments we didn't even realize were being captured at the time. If you're even considering getting a wedding videographer, do it -- and if Liquid Video Lab is an option, don't overthink it.
