orchid24's st. aidan's/crest hollow country club review

Hi girls! I got married on 09/04/05 and was blessed with wonderful weather that weekend. Nothing majorly wrong happened. Here is my review, but I'd like to preface it by stating that I am picky, and was disappointed by a few of the vendors that got/get rave reviews on here. I'm just being completely honest with what I experienced, and this is not to deter you from using these vendors. It is just a heads up of what to look out for. My one piece of advice, besides the cliched one of standing back and taking things in, is to be VERY specific about what it is you want, and make sure it is in the contract! Ultimately, the contract is what the vendors refer to, and the vendors cannot remember 'what you talked about' or 'what you showed them.'

I am rating everyone from 0-10 with 10 being the most satisfied with their service, and 0 being the least satisfied.

ENJOY! and just letting you know, it's a little long...

CHURCH OF SAINT AIDAN: 9
St. Aidan's is a beautiful church and I was lucky enough to get married there since my mother knew Fr. Bruno. Many Roman Catholic churches will not let you get married if you are not a parishioner. I didn't like my church where I grew up and I live in Chicago now, so I had a bit of a problem finding a church. They were wonderful for the most part in planning. They give you a packet which outlines anything you need to know, do, etc. I was disappointed in the musical director, because I wanted my friend to sing the responsorial psalm, and he said it would be no problem. He was supposed to go over the song before the wedding, but according to my friend, he didn't seem interested in 'bothering' with my friend. So my friend ended up just reading it. I was really looking forward to this b/c I love my friend's singing voice. The musical director was also a bit hard to get in touch with.
