CLM Brides/Brides-to-be!

I was at CLM yesterday and I'm really interested in booking with them.

Any of you using/used their vendors? I'm just curious if they are really expensive cause I noticed if you use their vendors they eat for free.. other wise 1/2 price which is ok too. Most places I've been to their house vendors are outrageous!

I'm using their flowers (little shop of flowers), limos (all star) and photo/video (duet). I didn't like their prefered dj went I met them at the food tasting.
Their vendors are pretty good in my opinion.

I am using their photo (Duet) and not sure on limos and flowers. DJ I am not using one of theirs, The prices of preferred vendors was inline with others. Some will give you a discount because they are a house vendor.

Duet would NOT give a discount because they are a house vendor and they have to pay CLM for recommending them (they pay even if it was coincidence)
FH got them to throw in free thank you cards

I'm only using there Limo, not that them eating free means anything.. I was using one of their preferred photo/video companies, but I cancelled with them..

We were going to sign with their DJ company but to us, they seemed like sales people.

We are using the following:
Limo-All Star
Flowers- Flower Michele
DJ - FM Entertainment
Photo/Video- Probably Thomas Paul

We are using patken for photog. which is a house vendor too. I think they are average price range. We also wanted a band so we have sound image band..which is the band nick recommended. He said they played his sisters wedding so i trust him! All other vendors are non house vendors
