Katie M.'s Profile

When planning my honeymoon I was getting overwhelmed with options and my time was limited. I knew I really wanted to do Greece but was having trouble booking on my own. By doing some research online I found Petros and Hellenic Holidays.

From our first consultation call with Petros I knew we were in good hands. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and the hotels he recommended. He planned a perfect trip within our price range and timeframe.

We had an amazing 8 day trip to Athens, Mykonos and Santorini. Every hotel was amazing and boutiquey. The staff and drivers that met us were friendly and helpful and all of them spoke very highly of Petros! Our room in Mykonos was amazing and the MYCONIAN AMBASSADOR was one of the best we have ever stayed at, great pool, spa and staff.

The staff all congratulated us and we had wine and treats awaiting our arrival. Petros was even in Santorini planning a wedding when we were there and came by to meet us!

I can't say enough good things about Petros and our trip. He made our honeymoon worry free, relaxing, and luxurious. Thank you Petros and Hellenic Holidays!!!

Paula did an amazing job with the flowers for our wedding. They were beautiful and unique and stayed within our budget. Paula was great about meeting with us and understanding our color scheme and theme. She made the Prado ballroom look so elegant and amazing with her awesome combinations of purple flowers and feathers. I would definitely recommend her work to anyone planning an even in the SD area.

Melanie and Phil are an amazing team of photographers. They did a great job capturing every moment of our wedding and getting some amazing shots. we never felt posed or that they were intrusive and they made everything look so easy. We shared the photo galleries with friends and family and they are so impressed with how many pictures and how great their work is. They are all super excited to order prints! Melanie and Phil were a dream to work with and I would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding in the SD area, Goodnickels rocks!

Francine was amazing! We could definitely not pulled off organizing and planning a fabulous wedding in San Diego from San Francisco without Francine's help and support.

Francine was the perfect wedding planner for us in every sense, she understood our sense of style and what we wanted in the wedding from the get go. All vendors she recommended were absolutely great. She was uber responsive over email and doing calls with us to plan, as we were not in the area. When we were in SD Francine would always make time to meet with us.

Her checklists and meetings kept us perfectly up to date on what we needed to do and her involvement alleviated much stress and worry from the planning process. Her day of execution was amazing and many people told us it was one of the best wedding they have ever been to. I have recommended Francine to anyone and everyone I know planning a wedding in the SD area.

Also bonus points for Francine for helping us with difficult etiquette issues like creating the guest list, messaging to our family members, and best practices for seating charts.

In short Francine rocks and her amazing planning skills helped my husband and I enjoy our big day and not stress, which is the best wedding present anyone could ask for :)

Best Yelp Holiday Party I have ever been to! Loved the food and the way it was set up. Space for performers and dancing.

Loved loved loved Blackie, he put his tiny reindeer head in my lap and I nearly died of happiness. Thanks to Yelp for kicking off the holiday season in style.

Can't believe I have not been here before! Perfect place to stop after a long afternoon of holiday shopping. Had the fried chicken in miso and it was heavenly. Also has the tofu appy that was great. Would love to go back for dinner and sample some rolls. Great way to warm your tummy and best ramen I have ever had!

This was the first bridal boutique I visited and after seeing tons of others, I ended up getting my dress here! I knew I loved the place the moment I stepped inside, romantic and vintage looking without being overly girly or pretentious.

The dresses are amazing and totally my style. I was looking for a less traditional, 40s vintage style dress. All of their dresses have a great fit and excellent quality, and very moderately priced, I ended up spending half of what I had budgeted!!

The staff was incredible and attentive.I would recommend Amy, she was great and so fun to work with. I went back 3 times, and everyone agreed Amy's was by far the perfect place to get a dress.

I can't believe I have missed this place for 6 years. I have been going to another place to get waxed and stumbled upon reviews here on YELP and decided to give Pacific a try.

Seriously I will never go anywhere else. The least painful wax ever, I actually talked about Thanksgiving dinner and gave the waxer a recipe while getting waxed. Everyone there was so sweet and friendly I will def be back to try out nails and pedi here as well.

Officially I have a fav Kebab place in my neighborhood now. City Kebab is amazing. The owners are super nice and welcoming. The food is great and at a good price and they deliver!

I had the lamb plate and it was awesome, the hummus is also so so good. They serve your pita warm which I also appreciate.  I will be calling them for takeout for sure as it is nice to mix it up form the usually thai and Chinese takeaway.

Awesome place but the wait situation is kinda a pain and I would recommend calling the day of an hour and a half before you want to come in.

The roasted peppers are super simple but a great addition to any pizza there. I also loved their bacon pizza which had the moistest tastiest bacon ever. We also had their pork cheeks which were exceptional but the grits were a little starchy for my taste. The pate appetizer was awesome with fresh figs.

Will def be back to taste more stuff but call ahead so I don't have to wait as long.
