Kanteen 
Rating: 5.0 (44 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
Hayward, CA
  • Caterer
  • Starts at $12,000

Kanteen was founded by Chef Dinesh & Vishwas — two food lovers whose journey began in the most unexpected place: a badminton court. During the Covid years, Chef Dinesh created a unique 5- course Friday night menu for home delivery. Around the same time, I (Vishwas) was finishing his MBA at Wharton. The menu’s bold flavors and creativity struck a chord so deeply that I dropped my plan to move into finance and instead followed my passion. With our shared love for food, we started Kanteen. What began as a simple idea has grown into one of the Bay Area’s most trusted catering teams, delivering elevated, heartfelt experiences for large events.

We chose Kanteen for our professional event, and this was our third time working with them — they continue to be an outstanding partner. The team is consistently thoughtful, organized, and genuinely invested in getting every detail right. The food was a highlight once again, especially the Old Delhi Chicken and Tres Leches Ras Malai, both of which received rave reviews from our guests. A great experience all around.

My artistry centers on creating looks that feel fresh yet timeless — elevated, understated, and softly luminous. My signature style is skin-forward, breathable, and glow-enhancing, designed to elevate your natural beauty with a polished, skin-like finish that never feels heavy or overdone. I use luxury, high-performance products chosen for comfort, longevity, and flawless wear in every light. Above all, my goal is for your makeup to feel effortless and confidence-giving — enhancing who you are without ever feeling like too much.

Sam is so amazing! I have worked with her twice now and both times she has totally blown me away with her skills and made me feel the most beautiful version of myself. She is a master at the natural makeup look that lets your natural skin and look shine through but enhances your features in the best way. My looks also last full long days without a single thing out of place. Not only is she skilled in makeup but also hair. I have lot of hair and she always knows what’s best to do with and make it look best to enhance the makeup. The best part is everyone loved both looks and i have never gotten so many compliments in my life. Everyone was shocked at how natural and glowly I looked. Sam is so kind and so much fun to work with and I would recommend her to EVERYONE!!

Fleurisse Design 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
Hayward, CA
  • Florist
  • Starts at $8,000

We are a husband and wife team with a love for the unexpected joy flowers can bring, and an artist's eye for design. We create with thoughtful intention to let the color, shape and texture of each bloom delight the viewer, letting nature and the garden inspire us.

Awarded Best of Zola
TLDR: Fleurisse Design (Willbe) not only beautifully brought our floral vision to life, adding the most important visual touch to our wedding, but was extremely easy to work with when it came to her quick & clear communication, accommodation to our budget & vision, and was both personable & professional. We first found Willbe through Instagram. We were immediately in love with her overall style and aesthetic that is both modern and whimsical. Bonus points that some of the gorgeous arrangements she makes are with blooms from her very own garden. We reached out to her and several other florists. After our initial correspondences and meeting, we ultimately decided to go with Willbe for several reasons (and we felt really good about that decision!): (1) Communication: From the get-go, Willbe was very responsive and has good communication systems in place. We submitted a form via her website, we corresponded over email, and we were able to set up a virtual meeting to chat. (2) Value: Willbe's prices were middle of the road (we got some lower and much higher quotes), and we felt that the product and services she was offering in exchange for the quality and design were well worth it. Additionally, she was willing to work with our budget and desire to have our guests be able to take home the beautiful arrangements! (3) Design: Of course her work is absolutely breathtaking and beautiful!!! My husband and I were planning our wedding from out-of-state from a different time zone, but despite that, Willbe stayed in touch throughout the process, so we were never in the dark. She walked through our floral inspiration pictures with and translated that into what would be executable on her end. In the days leading up to and on the day of, her and her team's professionalism, from asking about the venue layout, arriving well in advance, having everything ready to go, working with the outdoor ceremony elements - wind!, was very reassuring. On the wedding day, the flowers did not disappoint. The bouquets, boutonnieres, floral arch, and various centerpieces were each a piece of art. I'm so glad our photographer captured them, because they were absolutely amazing. When Willbe did the bouquet hand-off to me on the day of, it felt like my Pinterest board come to life (iykyk!). All the floral pieces invoked spring, soft pastel vibes that were airy, delicate, and breathtaking. She nailed the color palette and vibe perfectly. Some of the flowers (sweet peas) came from her own garden as well. The sweetheart table felt like we were sitting in a garden. We would definitely recommend Fleurisse Design to anyone looking for a wedding florist that excels in both creating beautiful floral pieces. We will cherish the flowers as part of our wedding for years to come! *All photos included in this review were photographed by Danya Chen Photography

Vic was the best photographer my husband and I have ever worked with!!! We hired her for our wedding and she was so professional and fun to work with. My family, bridal party and guest loved her! Vic had us laughing the entire time and made us feel comfortable with posing and suggested us the best ideas too. After a week or 2 after the wedding we got our photos and they were breathtaking!! Most photos I didn’t realized she captured since she was so quick on her feet. It looks like there was 3 photographers since she got all angles from the ceremony, speeches, and dances. We are so impressed by how amazing she is. We highly recommend her to photograph any event you have and want to make sure everything is captured!

I’ve been playing weddings for over twelve years and I love my work! My services cover any or all aspects of wedding & receptions. I have found my life’s artistic calling in becoming flexible to every type of music my clients could desire. I learn to enjoy whatever my clients love and this resonance makes my job sustainable and ever-enjoyable. But, I do tend to request the ability to make choices for the dance-floor that rely on my years of dance-enhancing experience. I meet with my clients to determine what music they would love to hear and what music they do NOT want to hear.

Brandon is an amazing DJ that really brought out wedding together. He was so easy to work with and did such a good job executing our vision! His live music was a wonderful addition and he even learned a new song for our first dance - it all could not have gone better and I cannot recommend Brandon highly enough.

Golden Bell Music was worth EVERY penny AND MORE! It's been 6 months since my wedding and I'm STILL getting comments on how much fun all our guests had! Even my mother-in-law who doesn't dance did NOT sit down! I'm Lebanese and my husband is Israeli, so I had asked for help mixing songs to combine our cultures and then move into more western music. I'm still getting sooooo many compliments from our families on how we were able to combine our traditions and our music! And our guests LOST IT when they came out on the dance floor with their instruments and danced with us! I did this in lieu of a zaffet group because i wanted something more unique -- in lebanon a drumline would follow the bride and groom and dance/perform for guests -- and it was definitely the right choice!!! On top of their amazing performance, Marlon was **insanely helpful** both leading up to the day and on the day. I didn't have a wedding planner and was making last minute decisions/timeline changes myself the day of. I couldn't have done it so smoothly without Marlon being so helpful as an MC and being so willing to roll with it! He was absolutely fantastic!! Cut your budget wherever you can to make sure you can hire them. It's SO worth it! Thank you Golden Bell Music for making it the best day of summer (so i've been told. multiple times. by different guests.)!! I don't know for what occasion, but I'm 100% going to find a reason to hire them again.

Trecee was our DJ for our outdoor wedding reception, and he was amazing! My husband and I were originally going to just play music from our phone, but I’m glad that we found and hired Trecee instead! With no coordinator and last minute changes before and on the day of our wedding, Trecee remained professional, flexible, and fun as our DJ and MC! He followed our song cue list wonderfully, and helped us remix our first dance songs just how we planned. He made announcements we had set on the schedule as well as additional ones requested. He also made funny comments, which totally added to the vibes. His music choices were just what we were looking for, and even with a request by my family to switch to slower songs, he did it seamlessly; Fun, hyped songs for the younger crowd and romantic songs for the elders. He arrived about 45 minutes before his contract hours started to set up and even gave us (bridal party) warnings and updates on getting behind or on track of schedule! (Which is very helpful as, again, we didn’t have a coordinator.) Overall, he is a great DJ & MC, and my now husband and I would highly recommend his services! I will post more pictures once available.

We booked the gardens in mid May for our wedding and it was a gorgeous wedding venue! It offers a spacious, beautiful garden teeming with blooming roses, different garden areas to explore, a super cute gazebo ceremony space, a nice cocktail area near the reception room, and the reception room with large windows for plenty of natural light. The lot has 50 free parking spaces. The rental rate is fairly reasonable for the venue space and what's offered. In addition to the main spaces, there's a getting ready room downstairs available to add on, seating for the ceremony, circle/rectangular (not full width) tables for dinner, and a few cocktail tables for the bar area downstairs. Management allows for a fair amount of DIYing and independent vendor selections, with the only exceptions being a preferred catering list with good selection and off list caterers allowed with a fee and vetting. Professionals also must put up any hanging decorations in the reception room, and decor can't be hung directly off of the garden structures and reception room walls. We communicated with Jenna throughout the planning process. She was super responsive and helpful, answering every question we sent her way. Overall, I loved the gardens for our wedding and would recommend it to others!

They worked with all our vendors and made sure all items we needed were provided. Setup and breakdown were also done in an efficient manner and very happy with our cocktail hour on the glade and dinner inside.
