Working with Jade and Esther at Total Wedding Kama was awesome! They made my experience wonderful and easy. Jade knew exactly what I wanted in my floral arrangements and put my thoughts into a beautiful floral display. All my wedding guests complimented on the flowers and thought they were so exquisite. This team is very professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend them!!

I initially went to Kama Wedding to rent bridal gowns. Jade and Esther were very professional and friendly, they helped me to choose 2 lovely gowns for ceremony and reception. I never thought I’d look good in any strapless gowns, but the gowns I rented from them were FABULOUS! Guests were wowed and I got asked so many times where I bought the dresses! Esther also helped to do my make-up, everyone commented on my makeup and hair! Since I got dress and makeup from them, I thought I might as well get flowers too, it was the RIGHT decision. Sweetheart table and bouquets were beautiful, Esther and her friend even waited for me at reception site, just to make sure I was happy with the decoration. (I had ceremony somewhere else, therefore they could’ve left after setting things up @ reception site). All in all it was a great experience and I highly recommend Jade and Esther to any brides!

Jade Lee of Total Wedding Kama provided the floral arrangements for our wedding. We are very glad we found Jade because her services were excellent.After meeting with her at her office, we knew our wedding was in good hands because it was very clear even at the beginning that Jade takes pride and enjoyment in her work, and she was happy to be speaking with us and helping us plan our event.On the day of the wedding, Jade arrived precisely on time and prepared everything with expert skill. She helped us make sure everything was in exactly the right spot at exactly the right time.The flowers, of course, were absolutely gorgeous. We received so many compliments from our guests that we almost felt bad that Jade herself could not hear all of them. However, the biggest compliment is reserved for Jade herself. She treated us almost like family, welcoming us into her shop and working with us toward the ideal wedding. There was an element of deserved pride in her work, and the quality definitely speaks for itself.

Months after my wedding, my whole family is still talking about how amazing Jade and Esther were in helping us with... well, with pretty much everything. Officially, they had only signed for wedding coordination and hair and makeup, but they ended up helping me with so much more! Jade was always there with GREAT advice. I had a pretty complicated wedding with two separate receptions, and Jade helped me plan the whole thing so that everything went seamlessly. Before the wedding even happened, she was constantly there to make sure the planning was PERFECT. She recommended an AMAZING DJ, who everyone at the wedding LOVED. I left the wedding cake up to her, and she managed to get me a BEAUTIFUL cake that was exactly what I wanted for an extremely reasonable price. We had to go with a family friend for flowers, but Jade helped me to choose a great package and even contributed her own branches to a spectacular welcome table. The dresses and jewelry I rented from Jade and Esther were a dream come true! I got a ton of compliments from all my guests, and my husband couldn't stop telling me how perfect it all was. Esther's makeup application and hair updo were also breathtaking! I wish I could always have her around to help me with my hair and makeup! It looked like it fit my face and my look but made me look really glamorous! My husband was floored!Whenever there were glitches during the planning process, Jade was always sure to sweep in and help get everything fixed up to minimize stress on me and my family.On the day of the wedding, Jade and Esther made sure that I was on time for everything! We literally were not late or behind at any point during the day. During the dancing, my bustle actually tore off, and Esther grabbed a sewing kit and fixed it for me immediately in the bridal holding room. Plus, at several points during the night, Esther retouched my makeup to counteract all the tears.I really can go on and on and on about how glad I am that I went with Total Kama Wedding for all my wedding needs. I was afraid that it was just one of those places that the Korean ladies at my church thought of as being a cost-effective solution to Korean-American weddings. But it turned out to be the perfect solution to getting the wedding of my dreams. Thank you so much, Jade and Esther!!

I had beautiful wedding ceremony in last year with Total Wedding Kama. Even thougth I attended lots wedding before, and got many advices from friend who already got married, still didn't have any idea what I should do. So I let Kama do A to Z for my wedding. Cordinating, Dress, Tuxedo, Make up, Hair, Flowers, photo and Food, they contacted every vendors those I had to struggle with for perfect wedding. So on wedding day, I was stress free. Kama as a team, they did really nice job and they are worth to work with and actually had me saved on everything. You won't regret at all. I can't really say numbers but, if you talk to Kama, you will know what exactly I mean... If I can have wedding again, I definitely ask Kama to do it again. Also I got lots of good compliments from others because of way Kama directed on my wedding.

Note: This review is only for the makeup and hair staff - Esther and her makeup/hair team assistants. My girls and I are so grateful for Esther and her team! During my trial, she listened to exactly what I wanted and transformed me. After three hours of engagement shots in the August heat, my face was neither cracking from dryness nor bleeding the colors of the make up from sweat. Another perk? She's fast! L O V E I T! She and her asst. had to get up at dawn since we had a morning wedding - but she was on time and ready to take on four very sleepy ladies. :) Her assistants also did my girls and my mom. All my girls and mom loved their make up and hair (this is rare since bridesmaids are usually NOT happy with how their make up turns out). Everyone was complimenting my girls (which made me feel good) and also my mom (she looked beautiful!). Thanks Esther and crew!!!

The reviews say it all...this company is the best in the area. Jade and Esther were absolutely key to making sure we had the perfect wedding day. As soon as I met Jade, I knew she was the perfect person to help us with all of our wedding planning needs.Even with tons of last minute problems (from other companies/personally/work), Jade and Esther saved the day. If we didn't think of something (or forgot), they rapidly solved problems and helped make it a unique and special day.Trust their opinions and recommended vendors. Total Wedding Kama helped with the venue, photographer, DJ, flowers, make-up, wedding gown (#2), accessories, decorations, invitations, and many other wedding planning items. They are the BEST in the business!!!!We can't thank you enough!A&AFalls Church, VA

Jade and Esther are an AMAZING duo. The flowers for my wedding were so beautiful. I loved the tall and short centerpieces that were provided. I loved how Esther did my hair and makeup. My makeup lasted the whole day and didn't feel heavy and somehow my hair managed to stay up all day and night. Jade and Esther made my venue come alive and all the flowers and decor was even better than I imagined. If you're looking for a one stop shop for everything wedding I highly recommend Total Wedding Kama. It's worth every penny.

Working with Jade and Total Wedding Kama was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Jade provided the beautiful flowers for our event. I sought her out after I got a ridiculously high quote from a florist here in Baltimore. Jade offered so much more for the same price and even drove from Northern Virginia to Baltimore on a rainy July day. She was able to deliver my bouquet and my bridesmaid's bouquets to my house as requested and made our lives so much easier that day. She was able to deliver our flowers to the church and set up our reception site beautifully. We are extremely glad that she was referred to us.

I went with Total Wedding KAMA for the hair and makeup for the me, the bridesmaids and the mothers, for a total of 7 people. I rented a veil from there as well. We got dressed, ready and picked up from there. Overall, the total experience was wonderful! Jade is wonderful to work with! She is very professional and had all our questions answered and followed up with me from the planning to the day of to make sure we had everything we needed. She's a delight and a pleasure to work with. Esther was the one who did my hair and make up and she is phenomenal!!! I've never looked to great! My makeup was flawless and my hair was spectacular. she did everything i wanted her to do plus more! She made me look amazing. I received so many complements on my hair and makeup!The bridesmaids and mothers were done beautifully as well! The girls got to choose their hairstyles and their makeup was impeccable. The studio itself is pretty cool as well. With hardwood floors, bright lights and ceiling to wall mirrors, it was a great place for our photographer to come and take her initial pictures. Overall, i highly recommend total wedding KAMA! You will not be dissapointed!

I was so glad to have found Jade Lee and her partner, photographer Ken Pak, for my daughter's wedding. It was pleasure to work with them and their associates at Total Wedding Kama. All their products and services (bridal gown, invitations, photograph and videography, and flowers and decor for the ceremony and reception) were outstanding. I highly recommend their services to anyone planning a wedding in the Northern Virginia area.

Jade and Ester of Total Wedding Kama are a dynamic duo! They will set you up w/ anything and everything you need for your wedding day. Their professional expertise, incredible flexibility, and competitive pricing is everything a stressed bride could ever want! They do photography, cake, flowers, decor, table linens, cars, tuxs, dresses, hair/make-up, accessories...everything!I went to see Jade for flowers after another florist wanted to charge me through the roof for the dendrobium orchid centerpieces. Jade was able to offer me the same centerpieces at nearly half the price! The flowers were absolutely beautiful and the bouquets were perfect. Jade is quick to respond and very warm. I was never made to feel like I was being bothersome (even though I'm sure I was). After talking to Jade, I always felt a sense of comfort in knowing that it would be taken care of. I highly recommend Jade and Ester of Total Wedding Kama...go see them before anyone else!!! THANK YOU JADE!!

I started working with Jade, planning my wedding 13months in advance as I have a super type-A personality. I got almost everything for my wedding through her (attire, hair/makeup, flowers, decor, photography/videography, coordination, etc), which made things very convenient for me. She was very flexible and was able to work with my budget as well.Throughout the process, both Jade and Esther were always very patient, understanding, and responsive to all our needs. They were easily accessible and we constantly kept in touch, bouncing off ideas with each other. They treated us like family rather than customers. They took the time to find out what our tastes and visions were and tailored everything accordingly. Since I am very picky, there were many things that we didn't necessarily agree on but Jade has a great way of getting her points across and broadening my horizons, while respecting my viewpoints. I am so thankful to have worked with her for my wedding!The day of the wedding, she exceeded my expectations and came with almost twice the amount of flowers (orchids, roses, hydrangea) than specified by our contract. Everything was so tastefully done, and she made my big day a dream come true.My guests were so impressed with how beautiful everything was and many thought that we had spent twice the amount of what we actually paid for the wedding.

I can't say enough good things about Jade from Total Wedding Kama. I originally thought I would skimp on flowers by avoiding floral centerpieces altogether. But Jade's flowers were so beautiful and affordable that I changed my mind. The flowers made the whole room pop without breaking the bank. Several of our guests commented on how pretty the room looked. Jade was also so nice to work with as she was patient, flexible and extremely responsive. Prior to the wedding, Jade was very flexible on meeting with me and spent her time going through so many possibilities. I didn't know much about flowers so I showed her a couple of colors I liked and one image of a bouquet which I thought was nice. Even though I wasn't that explicit, she somehow knew exactly what I wanted. I loved all my flowers, especially my bouquet. She also provided suggestions for my overall wedding decor and I am so glad I switched from ivory to colored linens. I was worried that the flowers wouldn't match the colored linens, since I wasn't able to take a swatch from the caterers, but they did match very nicely. Somehow she knew that and wasn't worried.Jade also really went the extra mile for my wedding. I had hoped to have an outdoor wedding, but the weather forecast was looking bleak. She called me the night before the wedding and asked if I wanted to modify a couple of arrangements to work better indoors than outside. I know she stayed up working hard to get those new arrangements ready. Also, she was originally going to set up the flowers and leave before the ceremony. But since the ceremony and reception were both inside, she stayed through the cocktail hour so she could move the ceremony flowers to the right spots for cocktails and reception. Of course most of this scuttling around was invisible to me. I just noticed the beautiful flowers and was worry free despite the weather.Thank you Jade!

Total Wedding Kama took real good care of us by listening to our needs and from get go, their 'can do' attitude was reflected on their quality of service, responsiveness and their professionalism. They have quite exceed our expectation in everything they have done (from going over high-level scheduled appointments to arranging photoshoot sessions, to arranging color & themes for wedding, setting up flowers, assigning photographers, etc). I would recommend Total Wedding Kama to anyone or couple who's looking to help them coordinate their wedding plans.

Working with Jade at TotalWedding Kama was an amazing experience! She went above and beyond our expectations for our flowers & decor for our wedding this past November. She made us feel like part of her family instead of just another customer. :) She kept our taste and preferences in mind and surprised us with a breathtaking display at our reception. We highly recommend Jade to all brides and grooms!

Jade and her staff were more than wonderful and as accommodating as you could imagine. Aside from that, her vision and creativity with her floral arrangements really made our wedding stand out. We are most greatful to her and her company for everything they did for us.
