I LOVE Cards & Pockets. I started toying around with the idea of using them for my DIY invitations when I saw how many girls on PW made them themselves. I ended up using C&P for all of my stationery printing: invitation & inserts, menus, programs. I simply assembled everything at home. The customer service (Bonnie :-) is prompt & helpful...I don't think I ever waited more than 24 hours for a response. In most cases, they shipped a couple extra for everything I ordered.

I would highly recommend Cards & Pockets to any bride! No complaints here!

Santos VIP Limo was one of my favorites vendors the day of my July 2010 wedding.
Hugh (the driver who picked me & my bridesmaids up) was fantastic. He was attentive, knowledgable and knew how to work with a wedding gown!! I didn't have to worry about my train with him, and he even put my blusher on for me before I walked down the aisle.

Prompt, the cars were clean and of course you can't go wrong with champagne. The only reason I am giving less than a full 5 stars is our other driver (picked up the guys and then took us to our reception), seemed to be less attentive than Hugh (maybe he was new??)

All in all, awesome company to work with!

Jorge & Pete ROCKED our wedding!!! Everything was seamless -- all the transitions from entrance to dinner to dancing -- perfection!! We didn't indicate too many specific songs to play for us, just told them the genres to play, and they did a fantastic job of satisfying our many musical tastes, all the while keeping the party moving at the same time. Our meetings with MM before the big day were great -- all the staff is helpful and friendly, not pushy at all. I am 100% pleased we went with Magic Moments and would highly recommend them.
We also got our uplighting and gobo light through them -- the cost was unbeatable and the room looked beautiful!!

I would absolutely give Laurie and her team more stars if I could!! From the day I first met with Laurie, she totally understood the look I was going for. Not only did she listen, she gave really helpful feedback and ideas on how to really tie everything together. I LOVED our flowers -- the church arrangements, our bouquets, the centerpieces!!! Very attentive and responsive to email communication -- right on time the day of the wedding. Fabulous vendor who is very understanding of budget. I can't say enough good things!

Le Petit Gateau was one of the bakeries that works directly with our venue. We were blown away at our cake tasting (big pieces & they all tasted so fresh!!), and were not disappointed the day of the wedding!! The cake was beautiful (they got my instructions totally right!) and it tasted AMAZING. The red velvet is to die for! Kudos to Le Petit Gateau! Can't wait to eat our top tier :-)

I purchased my bridal earrings and bracelet from Lulu Splendor. Carla was so incredibly prompt and helpful...her replies were quick even though she is on the other side of the world. Since I didn't have custom work done, she was able to ship my items literally the next day & I had them in about a week!! They are gorgeous & I can't even take pictures that do them justice! Very excellent vendor at reasonable prices!

I am absolutely pleased with my experience with Crafty Eddy. Within a couple of hours of my initial email to him, he replied back with thorough pricing information and a link to his photo gallery. He shipped about 2 days after I submitted my payment! The package arrived packed perfectly -- we were so impressed. He is awesome!!

I received my order of printed mugs (which will be our wedding favors) from discountmugs.com & I am thrilled with the outcome! It was very easy to order from them, and inquiries to customer services were answered promptly.
The only downside is that it costs an additional $150 if you to receive a pre-production sample. I would have loved to have seen a completed sample before they were all made (instead of only an email proof), and wish they could apply the $150 to the total order cost.

Other than that, great experience & product!!!

We received our save the date magnets today! The ordering process was so easy & we got a good deal, using one of 10 design options available in a 20% off promotion. The photo quality is clear, and the quality of the magnet itself is great. Highly recommended!

I recently had a preliminary make-up trial with Evelyn & was totally blown away! It was amazing...an employee from another make-up counter even brought a co-worker to see the job she did on me. I also had Evelyn do my make-up for my engagement photos(she saved my behind on very short notice). She was on time, and did such a wonderful job. I had that make up on for 14 hours & it looked great till the moment I took it off. I cannot wait to have her do my wedding make-up & my bridesmaids!!

***** AFTER WEDDING UPDATE *****

Evelyn is a true gem!!! I can honestly say anyone who books her would not be disappointed! She did my wedding make-up as well as my mom & several bridesmaids -- phenomenal job! All different skin tones in your group? No problem -- Evelyn worked her magic on all of us -- everyone in my bridal party looked positively radiant. If you're considering going with Evelyn -- do it!
