We ordered save the date bookmarks, I wanted something different then the boring magnets and cards. No one did this locally so we went with an online vendor. A little pricey especially for something that I do not see the point of- but it was on our planners checklist so we went with it, a waste of money to me but whatever.

He actually sings for a local church and is longtime friends with one of my bridesmaids. He sang “Cherie Armoire” by Stevie Wonder for our opening dance at the reception. He has such a powerful voice I really think he needs to be on American Idol or something. He charged us little to nothing but I think that is because we were family so do not expect that.

We had three photographers who were all very experienced and knowledgeable. They were extremely good -- not only did they take great pictures, but they were so inconspicuous. As such, everyone was very chill around them and allowed them to take realistic pictures.

Someone from my job recommended her to me. She met with me about 60 days before the wedding and she was so nice, she had so many other ideas that helped me with the wedding that were not even related to the services she provided. She works at Avon part time so she had access to all of their products.

When Ty proposed he did not have a ring so we bought it together. When we went to the store the first time, I felt that they did not give the attention we deserved but they had the selection I was looking for. That is the only reason we returned. Definitely not for the customer service. Now the ring we chose was a ¼ caret solitaire in a white gold setting. I loved it when I first saw it. Now when he went to pick it up he said they were much nicer after it appeared he was serious about purchasing. Word to the wise, do not assume and treat everyone the same!

I loved my invitations! They were so detailed and fancy. The only complaint that I had was that when I called to inquire about the tracking number it took for ever for a representative to get on the phone and when they put me on hold they hung up on me. I am a big stickler on customer service and that was unacceptable. I do not have one hour to waste to be on hold and then no apology when she answered, very rude.

Beverly was awesome!!! She just is so mouthy, talk, talk, talk! She was willing to come early (6 a.m.) to be able to get all the bridesmaids and I ready but she did not start until like 8am because she would not shut her mouth about her drama from the night before that was real unprofessional. She did listen to each of the bridesmaids and made each hairstyle different and beautiful.

I was really thrilled that Flower Gallery did my bouquets and reception center pieces. My flowers consisted of bouquets; boutonnière’s and corsages. Though very expensive, the flowers were very pretty. The centerpieces did not turn out all the way right, but so-so. Maybe a few more consults or a courtesy call might have been expected!

The catering service was pretty nice for our wedding reception. The waiters were very friendly, attentive, and took care of our guests. The buffet food spread was eye candy as well. The lemon chicken was a tad bit salty though, Overall, I would definitely recommend these caterers again and again.

We got two VIP tables, some bottles of Cristal, and had a ball. I am not into male dancers so a night with my girls was what we needed. We got drunk as a skunk, the music was slammin, and we had a ball!
