Araviel's reviews

Beautiful silk flower assortment. Take a little floral tape, some ribbon, and a glue gun and you can make all the flowers you'll need to decorate everything.

Outside by a lake. Beautiful. Nature is it's own decoration. Rented a shelter to have electricity. Our friend is bringing a keyboard to play some instrumental music during the ceremony.

Beautiful dress, just amazing! And you can buy off the rack and take it home that day. Be warned though, they allow men in the dressing areas. I was not very pleased to have a teenage boy there in the back where I was undressing. It was prom season and he was there with his girlfriend as she was choosing her dress, but he could still see the rest of us.

The place used to be a bank, so it's not glam, but you can make it nice if you dress it up. The price above includes tables and tablecloth rental. They also will set the tables up wherever you like, and they have sound built in to the place as they often have bands there. A small dance floor can be rented for an additional 60 or 70 bucks, but we elected to forgo that, none of us are professionals or have had lessons even. We didn't figure we needed to pay to sway in circles. Better yet, we get the whole building for the whole day for that price. The will also allow for set up the day before so long as nobody else has rented it and clean up the day after, again if it has not been rented.

Hank's has catered my sister's wedding and will be catering mine. They have several different menus available from casual bbq to black tie. Their prices range from about 8 dollars per person to 20 dollars per person or more if you tack on hors d'eouvres. We chose a semi casual type menu and for 8.95 per person we will be having pork bbq, chicken breast, macaroni and cheese, redskin mashed potatoes, a garden salad, rolls, tea and lemonade. They allowed us to substitute an additional side instead of a dessert as we will be having wedding cake for dessert, and they allowed us to upgrade a side from their more expensive menu only adding a dollar per person (it would have been 7.95 each if we had stuck with the sides from the menu we chose).
