thanks for sharing...swan club is on there!!! and several other vendors I am using

Woot Most of my vendors are on this list- Russo's, Tony Ferrari Studios, and Lillette's!!!

im not trying to start trouble, but do you know how they were rated? Oheka has 2 stars and other places have the same or more that I wouldn't think of as in the same league

omg...thank you very much for sharing......i'm extremely happy that all the vendors (3) that i have booked with so far are on there...and i'm even more happy to see that they are all above and beyond..

I'm happy -- CLM is above and beyond and Duet is exceptional. I have nothing to worry about

Yipeeeeee! Two of mine got above and beyond:
Duet-florist
Ebony Connections-dj
