I met Deana through a mutual friend and she did fabulous work for my attendants and me. We love the jewelry and can easily wear it again. She knew exactly what I wanted when I attempted to describe it and had a quick turn-around. She’s since become busier but still does great work!

Cindy was wonderful! Our photographs are on film, not digital, which was important to us. She had a great backdrop for the ceremony but caught such beautiful shots that we didn’t expect. We were so happy to see the proofs, there were a ton more than we expected and they were great!

Pastor Pat is the uncle of a friend of ours. He clicked perfectly with our idea for our ceremony. We didn’t want anything overly religious, we were outside, and wanted someone modern and fun. He was great! The only complaint is that we only had to complete about a ½ hour session with him prior to the ceremony and we worked via email on the wording. I would’ve liked a little more one-on-two time with him but at the time we were so busy we didn’t think to ask about it.

Overall, this was a good experience. I heard horror stories from others about other stores so we chose Men’s Warehouse. The ordering took some time because no one came to help us. But after that, everyone was able to get measured and place their order quickly. At pick-up time, there were some minor adjustments needed. I did realize after I got my photos back, that they gave my dad a different tie than everyone else! I must’ve been too busy to notice the day-of and no one said anything to me.

Tracie was a great help to pick out invitations from the huge selection. She was great with wording and picking bar napkins. We didn’t want to spend a ton of money on something most people toss in the trash but got an elegant and classy invitation. She also offers coordination services and is a genuinely sweet person.

Heather is fabulous! We did a hair trial on the day of my bridal shower and we both decided later that we didn’t love the finished style. So on my wedding day, with total trust, I let her do “her thing”. It was the best decision ever. I loved it! She accommodated my party by coming in early and it was SO worth the drive!

Diana (make-up): My make-up was phenomenal! I don’t typically wear a lot of make-up and didn’t know what I was looking for. Diana knew what would look great on film and I felt beautiful all day long! I had a make-up trial the day of my bridal shower and the choices were great! My make-up stayed on and looked great all night long!

Guest Lodging/Wedding Night Hotel: Wonderful to work with! We loved the rooms and the guest service was great! We were limited in the near vicinity of the ceremony/reception but guests didn’t mind the drive because the hotel was so great!

I really enjoyed working with the florist. She was able to take my minimal suggestions and turn it into exactly what I wanted but didn’t know how to explain! She did great work on the pergula for the ceremony with very little time (weather was not cooperating early). We also had fresh flowers on the cake and those looked great!

We were thrilled to book Dan with Elite. I had read a ton of great reviews and couldn’t wait for our day. He really “got” where we were coming from and what music we’d like to hear. He didn’t play any songs from our “do not play” list, however, there was some miscommunication between him, his assistant, my father and my father-in-law that didn’t thrill any of us.

Ceremony: Simply beautiful location. We ended up having a spectacular day with white fluffy clouds and sunshine, which just enhanced the vivid colors. Our photos turned out wonderful due to the great backdrop. It was also very nice to have the ceremony right at the reception location. The guests LOVED it!

Reception: The staff made everything go so smoothly the whole day long. They directed the vendors, made sure I had everything I needed, kept my husband and I separate in tight quarters and enjoyed the evening with us. We didn’t have a rehearsal but between the coordinator and our Pastor, we didn’t need one. Everything went very smoothly and the guests enjoyed the food very much and also enjoyed the ceremony and reception at the same venue.
