My Wedding Day Review
I'm not usually very good at these things but here it goes. I hope the information is helpful to other brides and please feel free to reach out to me with questions on any of the vendors.Giorgio’s: A --- I have to say my day appeared flawless. Giorgio’s lived up to their reputation and my expectations and we had an amazing day. I do have to give the bridal attendant Melissa an A+++. That girl was absolutely AMAZING! She helped me from the minute I pulled up to the door to the minute I walked out. She even went as far as changing my shoes for me. HAHA 2 ½ weeks after our wedding and I am still getting rave reviews about how incredible our wedding was.
Lisa Marie Photography: A+ --- Lisa Marie was not only wonderful to work with but she has a great personality and gave us the most beautiful pictures of our wedding day. I have looked at our pictures online more than a dozen times in less than a week and I still do not know how I am going to select an album because every picture is just as amazing as the next. I would recommend Lisa Marie to everyone and I will definitely use her in the future is I ever need any professional photos done for whatever reason.
Invitations By Dawn: A --- My Invitations and Save the Dates I did online I was very happy with the way they both came out. I didn’t want to spend a fortune on these things so I can put the extra money towards one of the other bigger vendors where I may want to splurge a little more. It was very easy placing the order and they shipped very quickly. I would use them again for any other events I may have in the future.
Absolute Entertainment: B --- After getting many high reviews of Absolute Entertainment I believe my expectations were high. Don’t get me wrong they did a great job at what they do, the office staff is pleasant and extremely helpful but I was a little disappointed in the fact that the DJ did not play the music I asked to be played during the cocktail hour and dinner after I had discussed it with the MC. They also did not do the centerpiece giveaway that I wanted so I was a little put off by that. With the exception of that I was pleased with them for the most part.
Country Arts in Flowers: A --- All I can is beautiful! All of the flowers came out absolutely gorgeous. Everything came out better than I had imagined. The centerpieces, the ceremony flowers, my bouquet, all of it just amazing. The combinations and colors they used fit perfectly with the day and my colors.
Reverend Deb Viola: A+ --- Reverend Deb had to be one of the sweetest people ever. She created the most beautiful ceremony for my husband and me. It was just what we wanted, short, sweet with a little bit of us. Once I received the rough draft the only things I really need to do was make selections where she asked us to. In the end, it was a beautiful ceremony.
La Bonne Boulangerie Bakery: A+ --- Wow! It’s very hard with a wedding cake. You go into a baker with an idea but never get to see a final product. Well all I can say is the image I had in my head did not do the final result justice. The cake was not only beautiful but perfect. It tasted amazing! I know we did the traditional “freeze the top tier for the anniversary” but I think I may go back next year and ask them to make me a replica of the top tier fresh so we can really get to enjoy it again. If anyone needs a bakery, definitely check them out!
Fantasia Bridal: A++ --- I cannot give them enough praise. From the moment I walked in when I started my dress hunting, I knew this was who I wanted to work with. Since then, they have been nothing short of amazing. I even had a situation where a bridesmaid was no longer in my wedding and I had to rush order a dress and they handled everything flawlessly. From the custom sleeves on my dress to the bridesmaids dresses absolutely AMAZING. I would recommend them to anyone for anything at any time. Simply the best in my opinion.
Men’s Warehouse: A --- A tux, is a tux right? There isn’t much to say about the tux’s but they were very nice. They guys looked great and they had everything together for all the guys exactly how we had asked them to.
Jared’s : A --- They had a large selection to chose from and their prices were reasonable. Plus I loved the lifetime warranty for repairs, maintenance and cleanings.
Groomsman Gifts : A --- Although it was a difficult decision for my husband to make at the time, we ultimately ended up getting them nice wallets and engraved money clips.
Bridesmaid Gifts: A --- I have to say, my girls went above and beyond what they needed to therefore I felt the need to spoil them a bit. I bought them their day of Jewelry which consisted of a Juicy Couture bracelet and Garnet earrings. I also purchased personalized gingham totes from The Knot, personalized cosmetic bags from Carol Edwards at Little Bow Peep through Etsy and they were perfect. I also included a pair of satin slippers for them to kick off their shoes at the reception and be comfortably while dancing the night away.
Liberty Travel: A --- They were so pleasant and helpful to work with. We did a lot of research online for our honeymoon but I was too afraid to book it online. I wanted to make sure we got the best of what we wanted and the most for our money. When we went there we gave them our budget and they gave us our options. It was that simple.
