Tammy does not respect her own promise. I had a terrible experience with Tammy after I made payment for my wedding.Now, she is not answering my calls and not sending me refund either for un-delivered service.

Horrible person. Tammy keeps no show on scheduled appointment without notice, not professional at all. And she refuse to refund me money when she failed to deliver wedding photos. Now she just disappeared and not answer my calls.Do not buy from her.

This review is long overdue! I was referred to Tammy by a family member and going into planning was extremely stressful but Tammy made it so easy for us. She had many suggestions and ideas. She set up the chairs and arch for our outside ceremony and decorated inside the restaurant for the reception and it looked so beautiful, we couldn't be more happier! Our guests were amazed at how beautiful everything was. She's very responsive and honest and just made the wedding planning so smooth for us. If you're looking for like a one-stop shop, this is a place to go and she works within your budget as well!

Poor management & I wouldn't recommend this business since they are shady towards payments and events even with a deposit. Your event will be delayed time for setting up since they don't know how to professionally plan and time manage. having to wait and hour or more for their events to be ready. Just unprofessional all around if you want to waste your time and hard earned money this place is right for you

We went with Tammy for my brother's wedding. We have been to weddings in the past where she decorated the venue and this one by far was the best. Tammy was super easy to work with and helped us clear up a lot of things as we never planned a wedding before. Tammy helped us with the backdrops, centerpieces, bouquets, flowers, chair covers, wedding cakes, got us in touch with a photographer, and a EmCee that spoke both cantonese & english. All our guest raved about how beautiful the wedding came out. Tammy and her team was given an hour to set up by our venue and she got things done! Thank you Tammy & the Ann's Bridal team for all the hard work. The wedding wouldn't have been the same without your guidance and help. - the Ngo Family

We were recommended Tammy from the manager of the restaurant where we held our banquet for chair covers, florals, general decor. Our first meeting was fine, we went over what we wanted in terms of color theme and she assured us everything would be ok. Then she got difficult to get a hold of, especially through text. Trying to set up a second appointment with her to see a demo of the table setting took months. So best bet is to call her, but she's also always busy because she does most of the decorating, florals, and set ups at the weddings herself. We finally set an appointment and when we got there she had forgotten about the appointment. We waited at her shop for an hr as she finished up with other clients. She apologized and offered to meet us at the restaurant which was fine, but as we are not from Oakland we had made the drive up and it was a waste of time. Fast forward to day before the wedding when I was supposed to pick up the bouquets and flower pins. She had forgotten the color scheme of the flowers and was doing something completely different. I had sent her pics before of the bouquet I wanted and she said she could do it. She corrected the color scheme and i resent her the pic to show her the style as well. She told me she would drop it off for me since I was on the way to another appointment she had. She said she would drop it off at 4:30pm, but she didn't drop it off till 7:30pm and the bouquet was terrible. The style was not what I wanted at all and the bridemaids bouquet had a different color scheme which is not what we agreed on. It was so terrible that I had to fix it myself the best I could. The day of the banquet the flower centerpieces were also different than the demo. Drastically different including the type of flowers used and the vase. The photo background was also different than what was decided during the initial consultation. Bottomline- pros: cheap compared to other vendors. Cons: hard to communicate with, overpromises, negligent. You get what you pay for. She's ok if you don't really care about what the decor looks like. She's overbooked and busy so forget about the details with her. If you do go with her I recommend getting a separate florist for the bouquets and flower pins.

They don’t even deserve one star. Tammy refused to refund me after I informed her the wedding got cancelled. I lost thousands of dollars in a “deposit” that apparently she cannot give back and will keep as credit whatever that means. I really warn you all to stay away. She’s dishonest and has no integrity. She’s been ignoring my calls for months. If there’s any chance that your wedding is delayed or cancelled for any reason, this place is not safe for you

Tammy is by far the most unprofessional businesswomen ever... my wedding is in October and my fiancé and I initially planned to have a big wedding. However, my mom was diagnosed with kidney disfunction and her kidneys are only working at 36%. At 10%, she will need to be on dialysis. With her medication being so expensive, we've decided to have a small wedding. The makeup deposit alone was 655 dollars! We've decided to cancel makeup since my niece can do it for a small wedding. I reached out to Tammy and she never responded... her read receipts were on, she clearly read my messages and still doesn't/hasn't responded. I called her multiple times and she ignored it. I drove to her business and she's closed. I wouldn't recommend her to anyone. Working on reporting her to the business bureau.

Worst experience. I reached out to Tammy on April 8th to do my sisters wedding on May 22nd. She was kind enough to work with me on short notice. I paid her a 2500 deposit because she needed to reserve the items. The wedding was canceled on April 20th (1 month before the wedding). I informed her on the same day. At that point she said she could not return my deposit because her vendors will not return her money. So she turns around to me and says the same. I'm thinking ????? IDK when my sister will get married... are you telling me that if she gets married in 2024 you'll have credit for me and decorate the wedding?? that makes no sense. To that she literally starts getting hysterical and theres nothing that makes sense. My thing is bc this is your business, why wouldn't you use this credit on the next event (which I'm sure she has weekly) and give me my money back??!

We used Ann's services for my sister's wedding and we couldn't be happier with how everything came out! Ann and her team were very dependable and communicative. They arrived right on time and prepared everything exactly like we agreed. Her team was also on time to take everything down. It was so nice knowing we're in good hands and not having to worry about that part of the wedding. Thank you so much, Ann!!

Tammy is the best event decorator ever; you will not be disappointed. I had and Engagement party for my two sons and she had to decorate two separate halls which came out fantastic. Everyone complimented me about the decorations and wanted Tammy's phone number. The best service, she was fair , on time, very organized and detailed and very responsive. You can hire her for any party your heart desires ; I love love love love her work - highly recommend her. Thank you Tammy

My wedding was on Oct, 2021. I booked decor, cake, bride's make up, and photography at Ann's Bridal. _ The biggest problem I had was the cake. The cake did not set up as I requested. I also paid and requested for edible pearls on cake, but the cake was decor with unedible pearls, which is choking hazards. In addition, I ordered tiramisu, custards, and cup cakes, but it turns out all the cupcakes was not the flavor as I ordered. The tiramisu and custard tier cake was terribly dried. On my wedding, I had to toss the whole cake away; I was really upset with the cake issue. I don't suggest you to order cake with Ann's Bridal. At first, I gave Ann's Bridal only 3 stars, but Tammy had contact me and apologized regarding to the cake issue, which was the bakery issue, and it was out of Tammy's control. The bakery she contracted with ruining her reputation, so I give Ann's Bridal 4 stars now for Tammy's sincere and cares. Though Ann's bridal did a good job on the decoration, but the details is not as what I requested. I asked for crystals hanging down from centerpiece, and I paid for that price, but there was no crystal hanging down. Tammy is a very nice owner, and she agreed to everything. Though it's overwhelmed for her, so she couldn't do a fantastic job on the cake part. The make up and photography is awesome. Carol (make up artist) and Johnny (photographer) were very professional. I'm now waiting for my photos from Johnny, and I will give more feedback on the photos.

Tammy did a beautiful job decorating our Vietnamese Tea Ceremony and Wedding Reception. For the Tea Ceremony, Tammy had many of the supplies we needed to rent, like chairs, trays, altar supplies, tablecloth, and bride and groom traditional clothing. She also took care of the floral centerpieces for the guest tables and our altar. Tammy delivered the supplies and set up the decorations the day before our ceremony. For our Wedding Reception, Tammy understood our vision and aesthetics. She captured our theme of natural lush greenery throughout the reception hall. She created a romantic backdrop that was enhanced by the candles and uplighting. Her team finished set up within time and was efficient with clean up.
