Since it seems many of us so far have chosen Velvet Studios, i figured we should start a thread. I think it will be helpful come E-Pic times and of course leading up to the wedding and getting proofs, etc.. Plus any brides considering using Velvet can come and ask our experience with them Thus far.
I know some can't view there site. I can't. So here is there phone number if you would like to meet with them... 631-425-4900.
With Karen's Request: List of dates that us Velvet Brides will be getting married. Let me know if you are not on the list and i will add you.
i was just saying that so far we have alot of 08 velvet brides- Bob & his staff will be very busy in 08!

Re: **** Official Velvet Studios Thread****
Yup! The whole budget thing was an issue with us to. My dad had told me what he had expected to pay before we met with Bob. So the price my dad told me was the price I had given Bob (I'm not good at negotiating). So he gave us a customized list of what we get with our budget. We were happy with that. Dad wasn't. We called Bob back and took out the Parent albums to cut costs. Now we are all happy. Bob had no problem meeting with us again to sign a new contract.He even said, if anything should change or I want to add something, it wont be a problem. Which was good because after we met with him the second time, i changed the wedding date Again he was a doll about the whole thing.

we decided that we didn't want to cut the parent books altogether, so opposed to the story books we are doing regular slip in albums to save over $1200. We also wrote in the contract that we can upgrade if we choose to later.
