Hello Gorgeous Gals!

<3 QOTD<3
HTH all the brides;
Which of your vendors has been the best to work with and why?
<3

All of my vendors have been great so far, but, there are 3 that stand out right now
Sand castle {RH}- everytime i go there, which is alot, i feel like they are still trying to win me over. They are all extremely friendly and accommodating. Everything i have asked for is basically answered with a smile and 'of course you can!'
Hidden Essence {Florist}- Michelle is very on top of emailing me back immediately with any questions that I may have. She is so enthusiastic about my flowers and my wedding vision. I really didnt care much for flowers, now i can not wait til they are delivered on my wedding day
Camelot {Limo}- Joe was great when we met him. Great personality, awesome prices! My brother went to him a few weeks later and received the exact same deal. I sent a friend there who booked on the spot as well. They are also great about keeping in contact with me

So far I havent really worked with any of my vendors. My RH is amazing, as is my BM who answers all of my emails the same day I send them, usually in a few hours. Theyre super helpful and very accomodating. Even when it came to making my hotel block they put up with my multiple phone calls and were more than happy to do so!

So far it's been my DOC. I think I've emailed them about everything and they are so quick to get back in touch and help me out. I would tell them what I was planning to book next and who was on my list to meet with and they would tell me any experiences they had and give me a few other vendors to look at.

So far I've only booked my RH and Florist. My RH was great throughout the planning and booking process.

I hope that all of my vendors turn out to be wonderful!

Re: <3 QOTD <3 1/12/12 <3

I don't really have that many vendors yet...only RH and photographer. Both have been really great so far, always getting back to me quickly and very professional. Hope I have the same luck with the rest of my future vendors!

So far every vendor I have booked so far has been great! But who has really stood out is my photo/video co Fade to Black. Gil is awesome! He is akways there to answer my questions.. esp when Im always stalking his fb lol.. He also led me to my great florist co with his recommendation. He also recommended a DJ when he saw that was next on my list and even offered to contact them for me. Amazing!

Re: <3 QOTD <3 1/12/12 <3

I would say my RH, only because that is the only vendor I booked with. Though I love the photographer I went to see, North Island Photography are soooo nice to deal with. .....

Re: <3 QOTD <3 1/12/12 <3

I would have to say my RH and photographer that stand out to me and they have been great with questions that i have and they are both willing to go above and beyond and i really like that ...and i could always call them at whatever time to ask something ...its great!@

Re: <3 QOTD <3 1/12/12 <3

Our RH (Thatched Cottage) has been awesome because we signed the contract literally a week after they changed the menu, which means in our first set of paperwork we got when we went to meet with them a week prior--there were some differences. Mainly the entire dessert table is now not listed in the new menu.... so we were like waiiiiiit, no we want that dessert table! They said no problem and added it to our contract at no extra charge! :)

Same kind of thing happened with our Photo/Video (Lighthouse) and they accommodated us by giving the previous price. So awesome!

Honestly, I wouldn't hire anyone I wasn't already ready to rave about! hahaha

Re: <3 QOTD <3 1/12/12 <3

Fade to Black and Flowerfield for sure! We talk to Gil from FtB on a regular basis whenever we have questions or concerns, and he helped us out big time with our DJ. He is such a great person to chat with and very down to earth. The girls at Flowerfield are fantastic, I have emailed Keri (the BM) with random questions about everything from coat checks to cocktail food donations, and she always gets back to me with a response. They are also very down to earth and have helped us cut out unnecessary expenses. I can rave about all of my vendors, but they have been the ones we have talked with the most!!

Re: <3 QOTD <3 1/12/12 <3

The only Vendor I have set is my OR. They have been there from the start of my search and they are 100% the reason I booked, my comfort level is through the roof with them.
I'm band hunting now and so far the vendors seem nice, I'll be able to answer this a little further down the line. But I enjoy reading others responses.

Sweeks Posted: Jan 12, 2012 03:15 PM

Re: <3 QOTD <3 1/12/12 <3

I think the only vendor I am really in contact with constantly is my DOC Cheeky Glam..

Same as everyone has said, they are AMAZING, I email them with any questions and get back a response in less then a half hour. LOVE THEM!

Kris10nGerard Posted: Jan 12, 2012 04:08 PM

Re: <3 QOTD <3 1/12/12 <3

So far all my vendors have been great! If I had to pick I would say my hall and photo. Both first meetings were great and they are still quick to answer questions.

FutureMrsRuiz416 Posted: Jan 12, 2012 04:33 PM

Re: <3 QOTD <3 1/12/12 <3

I would have to say there are 3 of them:

Crest Hollow - my BM Tom always gets back to me right away and is really willing to do whatever I need in order to be happy. He's been fantastic so far!!!

Cheeky Glam - I swear on my life these girls are a godsend! They are so professional but so much fun and I feel like they are probably going to be my favorite vendor... I felt like I was hanging out with some of my best friends meeting with them! They are always superquick to get back to me, very dedicated to what they do, and I feel soo much more comfortable about my wedding day knowing that they will be there - I don't feel like I will have any stress at all with them there!!! If u dont think u need a DOC, think again and check them out!!!

Thomas Paul - he is such a wonderful photographer and a great person all-around... I mean honestly I do not know of many vendors that call just to wish u a happy holidays and see how ur planning is going, but he does!! He was the first vendor we booked and he made FH and I feel so comfortable. I know he is going to take beautiful pictures at our wedding!!

Re: <3 QOTD <3 1/12/12 <3

Our RH has been wonderful to us. Frank the bm is a doll and always has an answer to our questions.

Re: <3 QOTD <3 1/12/12 <3

I second how helpful Sand Castle has been. I live out of state so I wish I could visit more. But, Loula always answers my questions right away. I'm so excited to get married there.

BobbyDsgirl Posted: Jan 13, 2012 12:05 AM

Re: <3 QOTD <3 1/12/12 <3

Well i only have my RH and my photographer but they have both been great to work with. Janine from the inn answers any questions I have literally within an hour! She has been so great to work with so far! Tony Ferrari photographers are also wonderful, they are my FH's family's famiyl friend so he is Great!!!
