Vendors

For the girls who have not started planning yet, do you have an idea of vendors you're interested in looking at?

For the girls who have booked already, what vendors did you look at... reviews?

Thought this would be a good thread for the 2012'ers who have not started the planning process yet.

Although FH and I are not doing anything wedding related until after the holidays, we do have an idea of who we want to look at just from going to our friend's weddings and hearing their reviews (and my mother has provided some input as well lol)
