ORLANDO BRIDES

This is not to deliberately single out isolate the other brides but i thought it would be nice for us to share info on things going on in our city, such as the best venues, caterers and our different experiences with vendors if any. lets get acquainted, maybe we can share/learn a thing or two. i went to a bridal show in january @ the peabody hotel and my inbox & voicemail has been slammed with great offers and lists of vendors and ideas: maybe you can use some

a) where do you plan to have your ceremony &/or reception

b) any shared wisdom on vendors

c) any good or bad experiences

d) any good advice

Add more if deemed neccesary

thanks, nish

a) My ceremony was at the Winter Park Christian Church and my reception was at the Woman's Club of Winter Park.

b) The farmers Market and Leu Gardens are also amazing venues. I used Magic Occasions catering and they were amazing! I also used them for my cake and my cupcake favors. My DJ was also great and very affordable! And I can't rave enough about my hair and makeup lady Meghann Davis. All of my vendors are in my bio.

c) All of my experiences were good. Every vendor I talked to was extremely nice and helpful.

d) My advice is to look around for the best places. Some of the best reception halls are where your least expect them. One of the most beautiful and affordable places I found was the ballroom in the Renaissance senior center.

We are getting married at Harmony Golf Preserve which is just outside of Orlando and St. Cloud. Our experience has been fantastic thus far and we are still 3 months out.

I have heard good things about Dubsdread which is a beautiful venue. One of my bridesmaids works for Arthurs Catering and she says nothing but good things! She is a member of this site...Keholmes.  There is another caterer called Puff N' Stuff...I don't know much about them though...

My DJ is from Crystal Lakes Productions and she is absolutely fabulous!

I hope this helps!! I also agree with the above post...shop around!

Good info! Im a Central Florida/Daytona Beach bride so some of our vendors will be coming from Orlando and this was very helpful!

I got married in Melbourne Beach at the Crowne Plaza Oceanfront and my photographer was pj http://photosbypj.blogspot.com/
