I used the HyVee in Prairie Village for our cakes. The cake we got was lemon and we got a separate chocolate sheet cake and they were both beautiful and a great price...and tasty!!! The only thing was the top tier got sunken in but I'm sure it was from my heavy cake topper and probably arrived fine. It was there on time, it was really easy to add or change orders or anything like that. Very easy simple and straight forward, which when you're planning a wedding is always nice!!

We looked at several places before choosing them. Not only were their prices some of the best but the food is amazing and the venue is gorgeous! We barely had to add anything to decorate the place because it already had that cool urban feel and beautiful wood and french doors. We worked with the wedding coordinator there Aaron- he was so nice! The ONLY reason I'm docking them some points is we talked about where tables and stuff should be set up ahead of time (so we knew that the mic could reach from the DJ table to the bridal party table, people could see, etc) and it ended up not being set up that way at all. Not a big deal- we were able to get the mic to reach anyway. They also forgot to serve one of our cakes- I think they thought it was the same as our wedding cake but it was a different flavor. The wedding and groom's cake was 100% eaten so we really could have used it too. I'm sure if I asked about it they would have had no problem serving it but I just plain forgot! Other than that- we had our ceremony and reception there and it was a perfect venue for us. Such a beautiful place and everyone there is so nice and helpful!! Great price for all you get!

We got a limo to drive the bridal party to the wedding and my husband and me to the hotel afterwards. Very clean, on time, very professional, very flexible when we had to change some times last minute. Actually drinking champagne in the limo on the way there with my closest family and friends was on of the funnest parts of the day, I'm SO glad we did this! Definitely recommend them!

She has been amazing and professional from the beginning. We have gotten so many compliments on our engagement and wedding photos. She has a way of making everyone look good and really capturing the moment. She is great at everything from detail, traditional and candid shots, as well as capturing the emotions of the moment. She was so cool from start to finish, even helping us carry stuff to the limo when we were running late! When I first started looking at photographers, I thought prices were outrageous- now I think we got a steal on her. Plus she gives you co-copyright on your pictures so you can print more any time you want. A++++

Ok this is a weird one to explain. We didn't get married in a church and we come from different backgrounds so we decided to just do a ceremony with readings that meant a lot to us and to write our own vows etc so we found a flexible officiant. We met at her house months ago and went over what we were thinking and loved her so we put down the down payment. One thing I really wanted was a person who could lead everyone (including me) on the rehearsal and day-of and basically run the entire ceremony since I had no idea about it myself. She did a great job on the rehearsal and the wedding- everyone listened to her and she told us all our options etc. It was great...now the part that wasn't so great...
Ok so two days before the rehearsal I asked her if she included our down payment in the total we owe her. Here was literally our emails:

I have $250 written in my notes because we put a $50 deposit down is that correct?
Thanks,
Me

Since we do not agree on the services or fees, I wish you the best. Thanks so much.

So at 1am, two days before our rehearsal she backed out of the wedding because I asked if she included the deposit in the total we owe. It's entirely possibly and even likely that she told me this before... personally in the last couple days before the wedding my brain turned to mush with all the details. I must have asked every vendor ten times what we owe and what did we already pay etc etc etc. All of them were SO professional and patient with me that this totally shocked me. Me, being stressed and not 100% rational I started crying hysterically thinking we had to find an officiant the day before the rehearsal. I couldn't sleep that night and I had SO many people help me try to find a replacement. At 9am the next morning I called and left a message apologizing for offending her and begging her to change her mind. I waited a couple hours before hearing back from her saying she would do it. She never apologized and I had to miss work that day thinking I would have to run around looking for an officiant.
So now I was a sleep deprived stress ball- whereas I had been pretty good before this. She wanted $300 cash. My parents were afraid she wouldn't show after getting the cash, because we didn't know what sort of person would bail on us like that- I thought it was so cruel.
I know I'm going on and on. In the end, she did a great job but I can't see ever recommending her to anyone. We had talked back and forth for months about the ceremony and dates and times and locations etc and one email and she ditches us? We had always been on really friendly terms too. Who knows. I'd just say stay away if you think you might ask about money ever.
