Not very service oriented. The items they provide are fine (and we needed everything for the tableware) but coordinating delivery and pick-up can be stressful. They charge fair market prices and even some items were more expensive, but they provide no special attention to your event. If there was another vendor with the same selection, I would try them.

The atmosphere and space was “us”. We did a lot of searching and this space was perfect for our party and guests. I like the aesthetics overall of the room. The event coordinator made the planning very stressful. If there is a way to work with someone else at the site, that would be desirable. They do allow you to choose your own vendor, which for us was very nice. We also liked many of the on-site amenities (lighted trees, large skylights in the room, balcony area – great for photos, etc.)

They played great music. They were willing to learn a song if it was not in their playlist. They did a nice job of introducing and playing “m.c.” without much direction in this department. They have a great professional appearance. We paid for them to eat and drink alcohol and they did so appropriately – nothing excessive. I did not like that they arrived when we did; I thought that they should have been early for their fee. They also ended sharply at 9:30.

Our meeting with the photographer was great – very professional, excellent representation of previous work done and most importantly to us – a very soft sell. They really catered to our specific requests for photographer time (we were on a budget). And, on the day of our wedding, who could have predicted that Raja, the baby elephant would make her debut @ the St. Louis Zoo; thus, the traffic was unbelievable. The photographers were more than patient – went overtime and took great photos. Our disappointment was the actual production of the album. We had 3 mistakes in the album. They likely would have corrected these but we were tired and thought we had supplied detailed direction in the draft/work-up to the final product. Another plus, as a woman, I really liked having female photographers working with me while I was getting ready.

Professional, easy to work with staff. This is a woman-owned small business. They allow you ample time yet work to keep you on task (for those of you who just can’t decide when it comes to stationary – like me!) They allow for creativity but also provide direction on grammar and etiquette. They are IT!


Great accommodation for brides and wedding party needs. Stylists are very professional. I did a “preview” of my hair style for “the day” and I am soooo glad I did. It provided both the stylist and me an opportunity to work through special needs with my hair and hair piece (I had a very simple veil and a decorative comb) but I had very specific requests about the final look. My stylist really worked with me and I was more than pleased on “the day”.

Judy is the owner of this wonderful floral shop nestled on Wydown Blvd. Based on her prime real estate location, I expected her to be way out of our price range, but I was pleasantly surprised with her costs. She did beautiful work. I learned through this process, that you have to trust your florist – that she (or he) will capture your “look” based on discussion. She did beautiful wreaths for the church doors – which was my “special request” for the flower budget. One other service she offered was “pinning” at the site. She came for ~1 hour + and made sure everyone received the flowers as assigned and stayed until I walked down the aisle; this service cost was TOTALLY worth it!


Beautiful church and a lovely park across the street. You or your parents must be a member of the church to have your wedding here so you need to know that going in. We were very pleased with the care and planning the priest provided as our wedding day grew near. We were coordinating with many out of town guests (in the wedding party), so we truly appreciated the flexibility from the church and staff. They will do 2 weddings on a Saturday afternoon, so it can be a bit rushed with photos.

Great cake, great service! Pat is the baker and she takes great care of you. She also knows the other vendors and really relieved me (bride/coordinator) of coordinating some of the day’s events (i.e. flowers on the cake and table decorations, appearance for photographer and timeliness of it all). We sampled several area bakery products and hers was superior. She is gifted!

Small shop but I was sold on the treatment I received. I visited the shop SEVERAL times before I made my final decision. They were always friendly and allowed me to try on the dress multiple times – showing it to different family & friends. They also do the alterations in the store which was A BIG plus for me. I liked working directly with the seamstress – Japanese woman and was EXCELLENT! Very fair prices, too.
