Diosa's reviews

It's under 10/person per lesson and my whole brida party learned...as did my mom. They have classes once/week. They do dances from the 1700's to ragtime. Why learn some stiff modern ballroom dancing? Pull something out of the past and have a blast doing it. I never thought I'd get my feet working into a waltz, but the dance instructors worked with me until those things got moving correctly. And not only did they work with us during class, but they scheduled special weekend time, eating into their schedules and lives to help out my husband and I and our bridal party. I love these people! Go learn to dance the old way, the original way, when ladies were demure and elegant and men were gentlemen!

I walked into david's not knowing what to expect and, boy, was I blown out of the water. I already had my dress and just needed the accessories. I felt like royalty getting ready for my inaugural ball or something. They run and fetch things you want, they put the stuff on you, take it off, find things for you if you haven't a clue; they're awesome...pricey, but awesome. I highly recommend this place.

Of all the things that went into our wedding, I consider the second greatest find (the first being my $900+ gown for $300). This place is breathtaking, inside and out. We had our wedding outside in the formal gardens, but there was a back-up plan that if it rained that day, we'd be inside in the music room. What ceremony site does that? None but this. This place is gorgeous and they're still improving on it, restoring it. Judy, the woman that lives here, is like a second mother. She works with you, helps you out, makes suggestions. She had our brains whirling with wedding day planning that hadn't even crossed our minds. I cannot praise this woman or her house enough. If you want an elegant, classy, romantic backdrop for your wedding, this is it.

I chose the Receptions facility in Fairfield, tho it was only because of the decore and dance floor; the runner-up was Eastgate. The staff at this place was very nice and friendly, made suggestions of things we hadn't even thought of and worked to accomodate us. The facility was beautiful and the food was really good, too. I didn't hear any complaints on the food and my husband and I quite enjoyed it. I definitely recommend this place.

For the cake, I figured, "why spend so much money on something that's just going to get eaten when there are more fun things to spend it on?" So, I got my cake done at walmart. I had a little personal cake done up for my husband and I and the wedding party and then a big flat sheet cake for the rest of the guests. And you know what? It was great cake for little money. The only downside is they don't deliver, but when you're getting basic little cakes, that's not that big a deal. I defintely recommend going this route with your cake because it was very tastey and very inexpensive.

Wes Sims, our DJ fom RiverCity Entertainment, was awesome as was the pricing for his services, which included karaoke. He was friendly, knowledgeable, down-to-earth, made suggestions, and helped in any way he could. He was also quick to help smooth over the big flub that was our first dance - lol - since my husband's shoes got caught in the lacey hem of my gown. Honestly, at first I was a little apprehensive because every other DJ was $600+. However, that apprehension quickly melted away at our first meeting and now I'm singing his praises. He worked with us, played along, and even acquired music he didn't have that we were wanting. If ever you need a DJ, you need Wes Sims from RiverCity Entertainment
