TDE was awesome! Special thanks go to Jessica (coordinator), Sam/Ben/Christine/Josh (photo/videographers), and the one and only Otis Fang for fantastic Emceeing! The entire team was flexible and accommodating to our every need for our special day. After the wedding, many of our guests commented that our wedding was the very best that they've seen!! The mini-breakdown: Photography + Video- For engagement photos: If you want more of a dramatic (higher contrast/spotlight)--ask for Sam's team. That's what we went with and we absolutely do not have a complaint. For wedding day photos: If you want bright, crisp, and consistent photos, go with Christine's team. Coordination - for every question, there was an answer with Jessica who helped us in every way we thought possible. Changes were made to the wedding plan to the last minute! It was astonishing how adaptable and flexible she was to quickly accommodate and provide decision-driving recommendations. Emcee - Otis! He was very smooth and quick on his feet to engage the audience when things were naturally changing as the night went on. He made transitioning a cake walk, even without the cake! We had lots of fun with the games he chose for us. DJ - They played everything we asked for and the sound was sufficient for the entire 40-table banquet! I still hear the music playing in the background... Up-lighting - The purple/blue theme we chose was so stunning it perfectly accented the drapes. Cloud level dining was reached that night! Get married with TDE, you will never, ever regret it!!! Good luck in your marriage =) Thanks again, Peace. read more

Everything about TDE was top notch. We received a lot of compliments about our wedding and I want to thank Carina, Otis and their team on an excellent job done. TDE is a one stop shop and their packages are very affordable. We found TDE through yelp and decided to go with them based on their excellent reviews. We had more than a year to plan our wedding. Carina was sweet and easy to work with from day one. She was always responsive through email. We had the pleasure to work with Eric (photographer) and we were very happy with our engagement pictures. We can't wait to see the pictures of our wedding soon. We also had the pleasure to work with Otis (emcee) and their videographer, Otis was also very easy to work with and always responding through emails. He was always there to give suggestions and he definitely put my mind at ease. I have referred a friend to TDE and will continue to refer friends who are looking for wedding services. Thank you again. read more

I found TDE because I was looking for a place that can provide a bilingual emcee, who can speak both English and Cantonese. I looked into TDE further and found that they provide other services as well, which made our wedding planning more convenient. My husband and I are so glad that we chose TDE to help with our wedding. Jessica was the person who kept in contact with us the whole time, from the beginning to the end of the wedding planning, going through all the little details. She was very genuine and easy to communicate with. Sam was our photographer and I really enjoyed working with him. He shot our pre-wedding photos and wedding photos. Sam understood that not everyone is a natural model (like me), so he gave concise instructions on how to smile and pose to get great shots. I was pleasantly surprised with how our wedding video turned out. Chris and his assistant did an amazing job at filming and editing. The videography team really made our video very special. Alice was my makeup/hairstyle artist and she showed great diligence to ensure I looked perfect on my big day. My Chinese tea ceremony didn't start until 10 AM, but she came to my house early in the morning at 7 AM to start working. Then she came to my reception and stayed throughout the night to refresh my makeup and change my hairstyles. Otis, Otis, Otis. I cannot praise Otis enough because he was exactly what I was looking for in the first place. He was perfect in speaking both English and Cantonese and kept everyone entertained. Among all the excitement, he made sure we were on schedule during our reception. Lastly, I want to thank the rest of the TDE staff (DJ, photo booth, and decorations) for making our reception so beautiful and fun. Everyone at TDE was so nice and friendly. My husband and I honestly feel that we got a great value. Thank you so much, TDE! read more

This review is for our 2021 wedding. We originally had it planned for 2020, but like many couples, had to postpone due to COVID-19. We finally settled for an April 2021 wedding, and with California restrictions opening a little more, were able to have a wonderful wedding at 25% venue capacity. With the many ongoing changes with the state's COVID restrictions, Jessica at TDE listened to our plans and provided feedback on what we may or may not be able to do. Thank you Jessica for your patience as we know we had to change our plans many times. The prep work is basically a word file template that we fill out and submit back to them. You do have to take the initiative in filling it out. We slowly completed it in bits and pieces and emailed Jessica for her to flesh it out. The best part of TDE though was on the day of. Everyone wore masks, were professional, and did what they were supposed to do. If you were on the fence about getting a day of coordinator, you should! Carina was amazing and helped us with any problems that came up without even being asked. For example, at our venue, it was too windy for our centerpieces to stand up without being blown over. Carina came up with the wonderful idea of tying up the flowers into bouquets and just placing them on the table. A lot people were surprised at how pretty it still came out to be. Of course, she also made sure we followed the schedule on time and made the day stress-free. Otis was also there to help set up the venue. He made wonderful suggestions like again when the venue was too windy, he offered an alternative to make our arch still look good. And offered to help us when we all had trouble putting on our boutonnieres. Jackson was our officiant. He was very professional and able to perform with very little direction from us. Ben, Tango, and Stanford were part of our photography and videography team. They were always open to suggestions and friendly, easy to work with. They even tried to get us to take as many photos as possible, which we are thankful for! Alice was great as our makeup artist. She made us feel comfortable and paid attention to the details. We didn't end up using all the services that TDE offered. However, we are happy with what we signed up for and they helped make our special day stress-free and everything went smoothly. Thank you TDE! read more

Our TDE experience was 5 Star for sure! The pic and film crew were everywhere, yet not impeding our great time. Jessica did a great job making sure we didn't worry about anything at all. Just had to say "I do". Thanks again!! read more

TDE Wedding - Wedding Planning Near Me - Millbrae, California

TDE did an amazing job for my wedding on Jan 15. I had a such amazing preparation experience with them before the wedding as well. We went through multiple times of the planning worksheets to make sure the wedding went through smooth and successfully. Jessica is so attention to details to answer every questions I asked. Vivi did the perfect makeup for me, Otis is the best MC ever, and Carina made sure the whole reception looks perfect. TDE team is so professional and I highly recommend for choosing this vendor for your special event! read more

We received a lot of compliments about our wedding.. and we definitely could not have done it without TDE. We had less than 9 months to plan our wedding and I'm glad we found TDE when we did. TDE is a one stop shop and the service/packages are great. It was very easy to work with Otis, Carina, the photographers, videographer and Jackson (Emcee). The whole team was friendly and helpful. Now that the wedding is over, I wish I did a few things differently. For those planning to work with TDE, make sure you have most of the details planned out. Whether it's having pictures of the flowers that you would like, a list of songs you would like played, or drawing the floor plan/layout of the venue. It's better to be prepared, so that all the details will be executed on your special day. read more

TDE Wedding - Embassy Ballroom at Embassy Suites Burlingame - Wedding Planning Near Me - Millbrae, California

I just got married three weeks ago to the love of my life and am so glad to have TDE there to help me every step of the way for the wedding planning. TDE has made my special day easy-breezy. My wife and I were completely clueless of what to do or even where to start when we decided to tie the knot. My brother hired TDE for his wedding banquet three years ago and highly recommended TDE, so my wife and I decided to go with TDE as well. We were so glad that we did. Jessica was our live saver where she gave us advices, suggestions, options, and kept us on the schedule of what needed to be done. My wife had her makeup and hair done by TDE and she looked absolutely gorgeous. Our photographer Sam had done a wonderful job capturing lots of beautiful and memorable moments. I highly recommended TDE to any couple for their wedding needs. Awesome service, amazing people and wonderful wedding experience. read more

TDE was a big reason our wedding was as amazing and successful as it was. Jessica was super helpful and very responsive whenever we had questions leading up to the big day. She and her team did an amazing job helping us plan, prepare, and coordinate our wedding. Otis did an amazing job MC'ing our wedding and keeping both the english-speaking and cantonese-speaking crowds engaged. He was instrumental in getting our wedding back on track after we had fallen behind schedule. The PV team (Angus & Ryan, Wing & his assistant ) were also very friendly and easy to get along with. They were very professional and made everything natural and comfortable. Overall, an excellent experience! read more

Using TDE for our wedding and taking engagement photos was one of the best things we did while planning this important step in our lives. Starting with the planning stages, just looking in to places to take engagement photos around the greater San Francisco that would look great in photos but also have meaning in our relationship. We luckily were able to take pictures inside of AT&T Park where we have seen many Giants games together and showed off the playful sides of our relationship and take goody pictures all over the place. After we had completed our engagements pictures we were able to meet many times with Jessica on the wedding planning team, who helped make it already to plan out the schedule for our wedding day and get all of the important details figured out. By the time we were done planning after a few meetings, we had an entire day from 10AM to 11PM planned out with pictures around South San Francisco around the location of our wedding venue. Now that we just celebrated our wedding last Saturday I can honestly say that having TDE help us through everything was a MASSIVE help for us. Since they helped with everything including photographers, a videographer, DJ, emcee (one that could both read and speak Cantonese), lights, photo booth, decorations, and we even got a 20x30 canvas of one of our engagement photos and used it as a guestbook by letting wedding guests sign it. TDE worked out perfectly for our wedding, my wife and I received countless compliments from our guests, and I don't know if I would ever be able to recommend TDE high enough to someone who is planning their own special day. read more

We did not do a package, but got services "a la carte": DOC, MC/DJ, flowers (bouquets/boutonniere/corsages), photobooth, cake table, welcome table, and sweet heart table decorations. Everything worked out so well. Thank you so much to Jessica, I was nervous with all the details leading up to the wedding but Jessica knew what information was needed and the SI (service instruction) was good to go. I am so thankful for Carina, everything went according to plan at the ceremony/reception and if something wasn't, she figured it out. She emailed all of our vendors to ensure all the details were in order. Thankfully she did since our alcohol delivery would not have happened when it was supposed to. We have heard from so many people that they thought Otis and Jimmy were the best MCs they have ever seen. Jimmy was in training so Jessica asked if it would be ok to have him assist Otis. I am so thankful to Jimmy for translating my MOH's speech, it was spot on and hilarious. Otis and Jimmy kept us on schedule during the banquet and were very flexible. The photobooth attendants were also wonderful. Everyone was so nice and the day could not have gone any better, thank you so much TDE! read more

Since we already decided our photographer, videographer and makeup artist before we heard of TDE, so we only used the MC, DJ, lighting and flower and planning services from them. But really after the wedding, we only wish that we'd know them earlier so that we'd use everything from them! Thank you all so very much for organizing and helping on our wedding yesterday. Everything is so great and exceed our expectation. The flower setup is beautiful, exactly like what we want. Otis has done a great great job to host our wedding. He is so reliable, responsible and humorous. I can see our guests really enjoy the wedding. Thanks for keeping our wedding day organizable! Also thanks our DJ. The music and sound are so great! Also Jessica has been really responsive and helpful during the whole wedding planning process. We really appreciate her job for keeping everything in order! We'd sure refer you to our friends that need a wedding service. Thank you so much! read more

We are glad that we chose TDE as our wedding vendor. After 9 months of preparation, finally, our wedding turns out perfectly. The wedding means much important to me and my husband, we really enjoyed the wedding party with TDE help. Everyone working at TDE are very professional and kind. During the long process of the prepration, Jessica always able to accomodate our calls and emails. We love our photographers (Sam and Ben), also Frank as our engagement photographer. They are both professional photographers. We and our family love our engagement and wedding day photos very much. My makeup artist Alice, she is very detail oriented and patient. All my guests said my makeup looks natural and my hairstyle so pretty. We have the good emcee, Otis. He done a wonderful job at night. He makes the entire night very smooth and fun, specially the game part makes the whole party rocked. Finally, we are so happy of everything TDE done for our wedding, everyone are so nice and professional. I and my husband highly recommended TDE to our friends and couple who want a prefect wedding. read more

We are grateful to have TDE as a vendor for our wedding. We had the lighting, photo booth and MC service. Thank you Jessica and Otis for their amazing support! Jessica was our go to person for planning. She kept us on track for wedding and was very patient with us answering all our questions! Otis was our MC. Our families loved that we had both English and Cantonese in our wedding. Otis kept the party going and our guests loved him. read more

Planning a wedding can be stressful and extremely expensive. Utilizing a wedding planner may feel like a frivolous expense but its a worthwhile investment. We began the wedding planning process with TDE Wedding. Jessica and her team by far were the most honest, patient and their value can't be beat. Denise and Jessica were available at any time throughout our wedding planning process. They responded quickly, provided really helpful ideas and recommendations. On the day of the wedding, Otis and his team made sure it was the best day of our lives. Otis went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly; we were fed, had a drink in hand and our guests were happy. Thank you TDE Wedding! read more

I usually don't write reviews on yelp but I'll make this one an exception since I was extremely pleased with TDE's service. We were referred to TDE by one of our friends and specifically requested Otis to be our emcee since we've heard so many excellent reviews about him. Otis was as good as everyone said and definitely kept the crowd entertained. We worked mainly with Otis and Carina. They were very professional, prompt and patient. All of the decorations done by Carina turned out exactly the way I wanted. The bridal bouquet was perfect, it came out exactly like the picture I showed her. TDE provided a nice variety of props for their photo booth. The photos were high quality and printed instantly. You can also download the photos on their website for free. I also rented a beautiful evening gown for a reasonable price. They have a good variety of wedding gowns, chinese gowns and evening gowns for rental. Overall, I had a great experience working with Otis and Carina. I would highly recommend TDE to everyone, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Carina, Otis and the rest of the TDE crew for making our special day so memorable. read more

TDE did a wonderful job and it was very clear to my wife and me that they take pride in their craft. We found their services to be incredibly efficient, organized, and stress free. TDE has exceeded all of our expectations and truly made our wedding day special. We found their Service Instruction (SI) document to be incredibly intuitive and effective. First and foremost, Jessica was incredibly organized and always on top of the ball. She was able to assist us on any miscellaneous questions or requests. Jessica was a great communicator and was able to explain everything effortlessly. We were incredibly happy with our photographer Sam for our engagement photos. He was incredibly patient and put his full effort into making our engagement photos exceptional. The quality of the photos were remarkable. On the day of the wedding, he did a great job directing everyone in order to get the best shots. He brought a positive attitude and it was a joy working with him. On the day of the wedding, TDE really took the weight off our shoulders. We were impressed by how hard and diligent their staff worked. They collaborated very well with our reception vendor, King Wah, in organizing and setting up the venue. The head table flowers were gorgeous. Otis did an amazing job as emcee. As a family split between English and Cantonese speakers, Otis was able to integrate both sides of the family so that everyone could have a fun experience. I received compliments on Otis from everyone saying how he set the tone for the wedding and created a lively and positive experience for everyone. From the draft we've seen so far from our wedding video, the cinematography is breathtaking. Chris has done a great job with the editing. We will be able to re-live our wedding with pure joy and bliss. TDE brought their "A" game for our wedding and hit a grand slam. I cannot emphasize enough how significant their contribution was to our special day. I would strongly recommend hiring TDE for an organized, beautiful, and entertaining wedding. read more

My wife and I got married last month and we were extremely amazed at what TDE did for us. We utilized TDE for the DJ, MC, decorations, and photo booth services. They packaged it together for us in order to alleviate some of the headache and stress on the day of the wedding. TDE also provides photography and videography services as well if we needed. For us, we already had the photographer book so we didn't utilize that part of their service. TDE definitely tries their best to tailor our wedding to our expectation. Although it seemed very frightening at first, they utilize a very long word document that identifies everything we want for our wedding. It's similar to a questionnaire however, it really gets every part of the wedding down so we know the structure of the wedding. For the MC, we utilize Otis who absolutely did a fantastic job on our big day. He was very easy going and was able to connect with the crowd fairly easily. To top it off, he came up to us to let us know that he will be talking to all the different vendors in order to coordinate the timing of things so we don't have to stress over it. The photo booth was amazing and from all the pictures we saw, I know everyone had a blast with it. The decorations met our expectation and more and it really highlighted our theme color well. Overall, I am really amazed at what TDE has done for us and I will definitely recommend them to our family and friends if they need their service. I already have people asking who the MC was because he did such a wonderful job at our wedding. read more

Hands down the best decision we made for the wedding! After calling numerous vendors, TDE was able to provide everything we needed. You don't have to worry about coordinating the time and making sure the vendors shows up on the day of. Thats one last thing to worry about. After meeting with Otis, we were so relieved and signed the contract asap! Their prices are decent compared to other vendors I have quoted for. Throughout our planning process, Jessica and Otis made sure to keep us on track on what needed to be done. They were quick when it comes to responding to our questions/needs. They were very flexible on what we wanted to add throughout our process. The day of our banquet, Otis was not only our MC, he was also our coordinator. He made sure to keep is on track especially I didnt have any pockets/purse to hold my phone/schedule. He didnt rush us. He made sure to check up on us which was very nice. I can make a list that goes on and on. My husband and I are both grateful to have TDE part of our wedding. Very highly recommended!! read more

My wedding was in October. We used TDE for decor, photo booth, MC, and DJ. The staff at TDE - I was mostly in contact with Jessica - was extremely easy to work with and contact. TDE and I communicated mostly through e-mail, with the exception of our initial meeting and our meeting with our MC Jackson. Jessica responded to my inquiries in a timely manner and always answered all of my questions with additional suggestions. Initially, I thought it would be difficult to communicate via e-mail when describing what we wanted for decor, but everything turned out pretty much how I wanted it to look like. Jackson was an AMAZING MC. He did a wonderful job keeping the audience engaged and was humorous in a very professional manner. We also received many compliments about Jackson from our guests. I have friends that told me they want Jackson as their MC when they have their own weddings in the future. We are so so so happy that Jackson was our MC. He is kind, approachable, funny, professional, and humble. My family speaks Cantonese and Jackson was able to translate everything so that my family felt included. The DJ played all the songs that I requested ahead of time but also was able to accommodate my guests in their song requests during open dance floor. I also requested the clean version of songs and TDE was able to accommodate that. The photo booth was a hit and our guests had so much fun using it. I was pleasantly surprised that the photo booth attendant printed out as many strips as we requested for the same photos. This was nice because everyone was able to keep a photo strip to take home. TDE also uploads all the photos onto their website so you can go back and look at all the photos that your guests took! Amazing! After speaking with some friends who had weddings before I did, I realized that TDE's price points are very reasonable. Especially considering the exceptional service that we received before and during the wedding. I would definitely recommend TDE to my friends and family. read more

My husband's cousin recommended them to us and they didn't disappoint! They have the whole package basically your one stop shop!! Unfortunately, we only contracted them for flowers and decorations for the reception and ceremony. Jessica was the one we communicated via email most of the time and helped us out through the process which made it easy for us. They had a very detailed spreadsheet where we can insert our own photos/ideas (which was nice and mostly from Pinterest) or choose from their own album. Their sample decorations was breathtaking! I almost kept changing my mind every time I pass by the photos. Upon reviewing the spreadsheet, they gave their opinions on what would work, what wouldn't, and alternatives. Overall we are very pleased and grateful working with TDE. They are flexible, understanding, and committed. The one thing I realized is that, they didn't provide a bouquet toss for the reception (not sure if that's a big deal for others). We had to make one on the spot but other than that, everything went great. read more

TDE did an amazing job from the very first meeting to the day of the wedding and even beyond that. The first meeting was very detailed, all questions both asked and answered. Jessica did a fabulous job with follow up's, reminders and answered all my questions leading to the day of. I knew nothing about weddings or planning one and the millions of details that goes into it but Jessica was there to explain everything, showing examples and what typically goes on during a wedding and even the order of things which really helped make me make sense of it all. THANK YOU!. My make up from trial, engagement shoot, to the day of was done by Alice and she was AMAZING, very talented and knew exactly which look and hair styles would look good on me and my girls and was very honest and sweet. She was also very patient not only with me but with my bridesmaids. I would also like to mention that I have never seen my mom in make up my whole life and that day she looked amazing which is quite memorable for me! Ben was the photographer for our engagement shoot and for our wedding and let me say that he is best!. My husband is not a big fan of taking pictures let alone a shoot, but Ben actually made the shoot very fun,easy and enjoyable even my husband said that he had fun at the end of the shoot! He was also very good with communicating with everyone at the wedding and patient as my family photos grew bigger bigger by the second. Otis was the best MC that we can ever ask for, he coordinated and communicated with everyone at the wedding very well even though the entourage and our parents we were all scattered, he some how got everything and everyone under controlled, and on schedule! It was also great to have a bilingual MC since 75% of our guest spoke Cantonese. Lastly a big thank you to the decoration team, everyone from music to photo booth and everything in between! I have gotten many compliments of how everything came together so nicely! read more

TDE makes us 20 years younger !!! We were just dropping by to meet a friend in SFO and heard about TDE for wedding photos service and we called them up without any expectation whatsoever but thinking to take some pictures for our collection on the trip. Amazingly, when we got back the photos, they were gorgeous and we both look in our early forties even though we both passed 60. The photographer was great and patient for our age and not to mention Carina on how she suggested the venues for our pictures but most of all, the price was exceptional low for the quality and services rendered ! I highly recommend to those who want to have their wedding photos taken again, they are the best ! William & Mona from Hong Kong read more

TDE is an excellent full package wedding service! We worked with Jessica about a year before our wedding date and she guided us through all the decisions that we needed to make. Everyone we worked with at TDE was friendly, polite, and quick to reply. TDE is very detail oriented and provides you with a comprehensive packet of all the decisions and details regarding the big day. They are very good at sticking with every letter of the plan but also work well with any unplanned issues that could occur. We had Otis as our Max and officiant. He was very friendly and knew how to keep the guests lively and entertained! Another plus is he could translate between Cantonese and mandarin, very helpful because we had family that spoke both exclusively. The flowers were amazing and plentiful. We were very impressed with how beautiful the bouquet and the other flower arrangements were. The decorations and lighter were very well done and lined up exactly with what we wanted. They are very accommodating and work very hard with you to get the vision you have into reality! Overall, I would highly recommend this wedding service. They really took the stress out of planning and coordinating with multiple vendors. read more

TDE Wedding - Love this picture. - Wedding Planning Near Me - Millbrae, California

I don't even know where to start with how impressed I was (and still am) with TDE. Stop looking, because this will be the best decision you will make with your wedding planning. We met with Otis for our consultation and even though it was over zoom (stupid pandemic), he was very informative and we ended the call with no further questions. He took the time to make sure all questions were answered and helped us choose the package suited us best. We were quite impressed at how easy going he was, didn't try to up sale us so we were very comfortable throughout the whole time. A few months prior the wedding, we met with our wedding coordinator Jessica. She was so amazing. She went above and beyond to put our poorly described vision into real life. Actually, better than we had envisioned. She gave us such valuable advice in regards to timing out our day, putting certain colors together and even reminded me to get a nice looking umbrella for photos in case it rains on the day of. She was very responsive and not once did we have to worry about any sort of uncertainty. Vivi! I've had a few trials with other make up artists before meeting with Vivi and oh my god she was the best by far. She really is the sweetest. She made me so comfortable throughout the whole experience. From the trial to the day of. The house I got ready in was in Daly City and it's a bit on the uphill side. I forgot to tell her to park on the driveway and she walked uphill with all of her equipment and was STILL ON TIME at 6am. She reminded me to rest and to eat during our make up and hair session that made me feel like she wasn't there just to do her job, but she genuinely really cares about her clients. Sam and Tango, our hilarious photographer and videographer. My husband and I are terrible at taking photos. We are probably the most awkward and stiff humans they have worked with and we dreaded our photo taking session. But the whole entire session was so much fun. They went above and beyond with coming up with ideas for us and again, they were so caring. Asking us if we're tired or cold constantly to make sure we're okay. One thing I noticed with them is that they're not here to just take pictures and call it a day, but they were there to capture beautiful memories on our big day. At one point I had asked if we can leave because it was freezing but they came up with another cool idea and asked if we can take a few more. YES. he asked US if we can take a few more. I was so shocked because it was pretty much their break after this photo session but they insisted on working longer to give us even more photos than we expected. And turns out, one of my favorite photos is from the shots he took at the end. I can go on and on with their work and care but trust me, if my awkward husband and my stiff self can get awesome photos from them, all of their photos must be beautiful. Lastly, our MC Otis (yes! It's him again!) We were so worried about having a bilingual MC because of how cringe some of the other ones we've seen. But Otis was so professional. He arrived an hr before reception to make sure all the details were put together properly. I was flustered with setting up other things and he took the initiative to coordinate with another vendor of mine and I cannot thank him enough for that because I was getting pulled in so many different directions. The ambiance throughout our whole entire reception was amazing. He gave us the mood, the vibe, the energy and everything else we had asked for. Throughout the entire reception, he was right by our side (but somehow didn't intervene at all). He checked in on us to make sure we're doing fine and to see if we needed anything. I wish I can post my whole wedding video here so you guys can see how awesome and professional he was. As you can tell, I am beyond impressed with the TDE team. Not only were you guys so fun to work with, but you guys gave us our dream wedding. Herman and I can never thank you all enough and i really hope you guys are still in business when my kids get married because I would love to work with you all again!! Much thanks to Otis, Jessica, Sam and Tango. You guys have exceeded our expectations and beyond. read more

I bought the less expensive wedding package and everything was not enough. Eg. Photographer hours on the wedding day was only 8 hours usually you need around 10- 12 hours, Mic and speaker during the the ceremony was not inlcuded in the package. I had to add additional hours or services. When it comes to adding additional hours or services, TDE JACK up the price unreasonably. Like $350 or $250 per additional photographer hours....... I ended up using the vendor list provided by my venue for additional service. Check around with different photographers, they usually charge one price for all day service. I have Otis as my MC, he did a great job. My co-worker had the same experience with TDE, TDE was overly pricy for the kind of service they provided. My friend's sister also said TDE didnt do much for her wedding. Not sure if all these 5 stars comments came from true clients or friends. Will not recommend this place. read more

We purchased the entire package; photographer, videographer, makeup artist, flowers, backdrop, MC and DJ. The husband and wife team of Otis and Carina were good. Early in the negotiations, we were impressed with their knowledge and their pictures from previous weddings. At our first meeting, Otis showed us an extensive slideshow of their photography. He also took the time to explain the proper scheduling of a Chinese wedding. We had no idea how about any of these before meeting with him. We met with him for a good two hours, mostly just discussing wedding scheduling. Even though we were not guaranteed clients, he was very patient with all our questions no matter how strange. We signed the contract after meeting with Carina a few weeks later. we would advise you to read the contract very carefully before signing, It is very detailed. Carina handled the design of the backdrop and the bouquets. For the bouquets, we don't recommend them to you because the package is including roses ONLY. I MEAN nothing else. If you choose them, make sure that they have your theme color for your roses. Otherwise, they will charge you for coloring your roses at the end. That was a BIG turn down for us. The makeup artist was very accommodating with our schedule in the early morning but make sure that you need about 2 hours for your make up. She later showed up at the church and the restaurant on time. We only recommend this artist to you if you are LOCAL. because they will charge you for TRAVELING FEE ($50) . Please ask if there are miles restraint or limit. Same for MC, DJ, photographer and/or videographer. The photographer and videographer were very patient and professional when it came to posed shots with family as well as more "artistic" shots. They also make a couple jokes which make us less nervous in front of the camera. For MC, we will highly recommend Otis Fang to you. He is a local celebrity in San Francisco Chinese community. It seemed his reputation preceded him because many of the Chinese in attendance recognized him from his radio work. Needless to say, he had a few fans in the audience. He really worked the crowd. He also helped us with the timing of the schedule and came over to us to keep us informed. Everyone was pleased with his performance. He really kept the pressure off of us at the banquet. We did some research for our backdrops and emailed to them if they were able to do it. Our package was ONLY including two layers for our backdrops but we ended up picking three layers backdrop. They were able to accommodate us extra layer for FREE. They went extra mile. THAT WAS GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE THERE. If you pick darker color for your backdrop, don't go with extra lighting (of course, it is NOT free). $50 for each lighting. it is not worth it. Decoration for car, head table, cake table, and sign in table were acceptable. Oh yeah. Make sure you know that you are required to provide food for working staffs at your banquet. Cost of their meal depends on your generosity. There were pros and cons based on our wedding service with them. At the end, we did not regret picking them for our wedding. Hopefully, you won't either. read more

Wedding planning and researching for all the vendors mainly on your own was hell on top of working almost 24/7 back than. Some how down the line I found on yelp there were several one stop bridal stop. I kept researching and going in person to realized TDE was the most attractive in terms of service and cost. My load was so much lighter after booking them. I no longer have to reach out to multiple vendors when all I need to do was speak to TDE about everything. They have a lot of past wedding samples to show you, to give you a better idea of how you like your wedding to be like. They will even give you advise on what works better with another items/colors. I did not have to spend much time on wedding planning anymore. They ALWAYS followup with us to make sure we were on track. LOVED IT. Whenever we had any questions, they were ALWAYS there to help us. I felt like a bothersome, but they always show how much they want to help. Their services were above and beyond. Jessica was our to go person. She was super nice and helpful. If and when she doesn't have an answer to our question she would make sure to reach out to the correct person to get an answer for us. We never really had to follow up with her, she took our event seriously! Even after our wedding was over, she was still extremely helpful in working with us on our photos and videos, making sure we like them before they officially put them in DVDs. Truthfully, I was still not super satisfy with my highlight video, but I can not say it was because TDE was not good at making videos, it was because I didn't have time to go back and forth with them to let them know what I like and didn't like. I'm sure i'll like it a lot more 10yrs down the line. Otis was a great MC and I was glad he was there to make the atmosphere more lively and enjoyable. I had friends that already bookmark TDE so they can have the same MC when they get marry in the future. He always follow up with us on the schedule during the whole wedding to make sure we're not behind. Usually u're super busy at your wedding, you don't even have time to talk to anyone or take any pictures at the photo booth. That was not the case here, we had time to take pictures with friends and we were so on track, we even had some free time. Wedding day started off really terribly wrong, and the whole time i wish i never had a wedding, but TDE came to the rescue. I highly recommend TDE to any friends and family getting marry. I just can't get over how amazing their customer service is and how they are willing to work around with you regarding your budget. I would tell everyone to hurry and book fast. Some friends wanted to book TDE for their wedding but they're already booked so HURRY! read more

This is the perfect place to go to for your big day, especially if you are looking for a MC for your banquet. I was extremely stressed out about who I should use as my banquet MC because I have too many recommendations from friends and family, but I decided to have Otis Fong from The Day Entertainment. I was hesitated in the beginning because Otis knows nothing about me and my fiancee, but the day we met him and Carina for a run down, they totally clear all my stresses. I was relieved because of their great knowledge and commitment for my day. Everything was planned and set by The Day. The day of my banquet back in March went perfect, it took place in East Ocean Emervylle, the location was great, but the MC and sound system made it even better. I had so many great feedback afterward from friends and family about Otis, he is just a great MC to have for your wedding. Perfect for both the younger and/or older generations, I was impressed, and so are my family and friends. Thank you Mr.Fong! read more

TDE came in and saved our wedding day decor!! Our originally booked wedding decor company contacted us just 2.5 months before our wedding day and let us know their warehouse had caught fire and they no longer could do our wedding. They refunded us our deposit, and we were left in a PANIC scrambling to find a new wedding decorator just 2.5 months before our wedding date. With all the 2021 wedding reschedules, we thought this was going to be an impossible task. But we came across TDE, and not only did they go above and beyond to try and meet all our decor requests in such a short amount of time, they also did their best to price match the original wedding decor's prices/receipt. The wedding turned out beautiful and it was such a pleasure working with Jessica, Carina, and the TDE group!! read more

We hired TDE to do our wedding GOBOs and uplights and we were pleased with the outcome! Otis and his team were responsive to emails and calls. He was knowledgeable and made recommendations on how "warm" lighting interacted with "cold" lighting to make a more dramatic and contrasting effect at our wedding reception. The professional staff who came to our wedding site to set up the lights checked in with us multiple times to make sure we were content with the lighting colors and effects. Overall, we had a pleasant experience working with TDE and would recommend them to our friends! read more

We got married about 3 weeks ago and it was a pleasant experience with TDE! I had my make up done by Vivi for my engagement photo shoot and my wedding day make up done by Alice. They were both great and I especially love Alice for her sweet personality, she'd stay in the room to watch over our belongings while the wedding is in process. Jessica did a good job to follow up with us and constantly give us reminders since we are super busy and slow on replying their emails..lol. Otis, our MC did a great job and lots of our guest were impressed. All the other staff that help with the audio and decoration set up also did a very decent job and made everything smooth. I wasn't sure if all their staff got a chance to eat during the budget time but I hope they had enjoyed the night too! Thank you so much, TDE! Oh, almost forgot to mention...their photographer, Sam, and videographer are excellent! They were very friendly and understood that our timeline was tight on that day but they made everything so smooth and make sure we have enough pictures with our bridesmaid and groomsmen that day! read more

I am one of those brides who thought I won't be stress planning my own wedding. Oh boy, was I wrong! Until I went to T.D.E. for help. The load that came off of me, I cannot thank T.D.E. enough. I really wish I went to them sooner, before I bought my gown because I could just rent a gown there and save me a lot of money on that as well. I got one of their packages and it included everything I needed and wanted. The staff are very professional, patient, and accommodating. You will not regret going to T.D.E. for help. In fact, I have recommended T.D.E. to my cousin for her wedding coming up in a few months and they decided to go with T.D.E. as well after seeing how great my wedding went. You should also visit their website http://tdewedding.com/ because they have a lot of good examples you could look at (i.e. photos, videos, childhood videos, makeup, etc.). read more

We found TDE through their great reviews on yelp, and they certainly did not disappoint. We utilized the services of decorations, slideshow, emcee, & DJ. From the beginning Otis and Carina were awesome. They explained in great detail what can be done, showed us examples of their previous works. They are very responsive and timely with e-mails/phone calls. When I walked into the restaurant/venue at my wedding last night, I was mesmerized. Carina totally helped transformed my vision into real life...actually it was better than my vision. Throughout the process Carina often made suggestions and she definitely knows what looks good! The venue was beautiful. And Otis as emcee was super fun! He knows how to get a crowd going, it was great that it was in English/Cantonese so all my guests knew what was going on. Throughout the night he made sure we stayed on schedule but reminded us to have fun and relax as well. I didn't know this, but he's a little bit of a star in the Chinese community in the Bay Area as he's on the Chinese radio. My grandma told me she asked to have a picture taken with him and reminded me to make sure she gets a copy of the picture! The DJ also played songs that was on a list I provided, it was fun to hear some of my favorite songs throughout the night to get me in a partying mood! All in all, TDE played a huge part in making my wedding an absolutely success and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. read more

Tde is hands down the best wedding planner ever. They made our wedding planning stress free. Prices are reasonable and they provide amazing services! It was a pleasure to work with each and everyone of the staff members. Special shoutout to Jessica who spearheaded all of the decors and logistics. She's very detailed oriented and great at responding back to us on our all of our questions. Jackson, our MC who did a fantastic job emceeing during our banquet. Frank, our photographer did an awesome job. Bottom line is I highly recommend TDE if you are having a wedding soon and is looking for a one stop shop. read more

We got our photography, videography, and banquet decoration services with them and would definitely recommend them for any future wedding event services! These guys went beyond their services to make our day a special and flawless one. Although we had some logistics issue with the photographer and videographer at the beginning of the day, TDE management was very helpful and accommodating with the situation. The day could have started out bad, but they did all they could to prevent it and it turned out great. It would have been nice to have been able to collaborate with them beforehand so everyone would be on the same page. The whole decoration planning and designing was a very easy and painless process. My event was not in the same city where I live in, so we had to plan everything remotely. Everything was over the phone and via email and TDE responded instantly to our correspondence without delay. On the day of, the decorations were exactly what we had requested. There were also few things here and there that they had helped with towards the planning of our wedding. Although they weren't obligated, they were willing to provide us with the help we requested. Again, I definitely recommend them to anyone! read more

Out of all the vendors we had to deal with during our wedding, I can easily and honestly say that TDE was the best. Stress-free, professional, easy to work with, and wanted to make sure we got what we wanted. I can't say that about any other wedding vendor I've had to work with. We got the videography service. They were very professional in taking down what we wanted (highlight video, what to include in full video, timing for delivery). They delivered on time, and the quality of the highlight video we got was fantastic! Judging by how well they delivered, I feel like I should have gotten even more services from them. The pricing worked out VERY well for videography. It's a joke what I've seen other vendors charge for 1-day of work - lots of people out there just looking to take advantage. TDE is priced very reasonably and for the quality delivered it is worth every penny. There's a reason why every review here is 5 star, and here's another one in their bucket. read more
