Michele was an beautiful bride and Scott a handsome groom - without a doubt, they were very happy Saturday!

The wedding was wonderful - we had such a nice time. I think everything was exactly as Michele wanted it, and I think she was very happy with all of her choices. But, we'll see how everything went from her point of view when she returns.
From a guest's perspective, the Hamlet was very nice. They did a good job with everything. The food during cocktail hour was good, and seemed to be plentiful. As soon as you finished the last bite on your plate, someone was there to take it! The staff was polite and we never needed to go to the bar to fill our drinks. Dinner was delicious. My husband and I were a little unfortunate with the wait staff for our table, though. My hubby was splashed with salad dressing and I had someone drop a dirty fork in my lap.

Hopefully, nothing the dry cleaner can't fix!
There's just two other things that I want to say about Michele's chosen vendors (again, just from a guest's perspective):
The folks from Wild Rose Video were super nice, polite and fun to interact with. I watched Marie and Bill working and many times, I wanted to go up and say hi. I have never met them in person, but heard a lot about them from Michele (and everyone else on this site). Well, yesterday Marie sent me the sweetest note to say hi, b/c she didn't have a chance to say it at the reception. I thought that was very sweet and kind! I've already told Marie that if I ever have an occasion for a video again, I will use Wild Rose. I truly believe, after watching them in action, that they care about their customers.
The other vendor I have to mention is Mark Kauffman's studio. I looked at Mark's studio when I was planning 2 years ago, and I did not choose him b/c I didn't like his personality on the videotape he sent me. (Just my honest opinion). His people were very professional all day and very nice to be around...specifically, Roy. Roy truly worked his rear off to get every shot! You could SEE how much he genuinely wanted to get ever shot, and I just hope that Michele and Scott will be pleased with the end results. Roy was also very polite and willing to go the extra mile with Michele and Scott's guests. Not once, but twice, Roy came up to my husband and I, took my husband's camera and shot a couple of really nice photographs of us enjoying the party. I was so impressed, and I made sure to thank him before we left. I have never seen a photographer do that before!
Of course, Michele has the final word on all the vendors based on what she contracted, and how they delivered their services on her wedding day. But, from where I sat on Saturday, everything seemed perfect...like they had the day they dreamed of for a lifetime!
