MIB's reviews

Shane picked out my rings all by himself and I adore them. Ialso love the fact that I can go in and get my rings cleaned anytime I want (which is like every other week - gotta love the sparkle!)

Joe, the owner, is such a great person! Everytime we eat there, he comes around to each table to say hello. For our rehearsal dinner, not only did he say hello but he also gave a toast! He, and the great food, really make that restaurant special!

From the minute we walked into the hotel, we were treated first-class. As we checked into our room, they handed us glasses of champagne! The food was awesome, the service was excellent, and the beach was gorgeous! They placed little surprises (flowers, champagne, candy) in our room every day as a gift for us being honeymooners. Secrets Capri is an all-inclusive and adults-only resort. We were VERY pleased with everything at the hotel! I want to go back already!

Kate was amazing as well. She made both me and my mom beautiful for my wedding day. After she was done with us, she put all of my nieces up on the chair and applied lip gloss. They loved it!! One of Bobbie Brown's leading makeup artists!

Annie Wold - Annie is such a sweetheart. She did an amazing job with all of our hair! A wedding gift to us! She is a stylist at Brassfields Salon in University Place.

My dress - The girls at the store were very nice. I found my dress at the Tacoma Wedding Expo very early in the planning phase. Watters Style 6043B.

Bridesmaid dresses - Not much to say here. All, but one, of the bridemaids are from out of town. They all went to their local bridal shop and tried on the dresses. Once they figured out which dress they wanted, we ordered them from Weddings with Joy. The dresses actually came in about 1.5 months early.

Shane wanted something simple to wear since he would only be wearing it when he wasn't at the fire station. The ring itself was perfect, however it took us three orders to get the sizing correct. I am not sure what sizing Blue Nile goes by, but it sure didn't match the jewelery shop we had his finger sized at! Other than that, we are very happy with the ring.

After hearing all of the raves about Sean, I knew we didn't have anything to worry about. Sean was great and he kept us dancing all night long! I am not sure how much he looked at our play and do not play lists that we gave him since there were some songs that we knew we didn't choose, but needless to say, we had very sore feet in the morning!!

I seriously love these photographers. They are a husband and wife team so we were able to get a lot of preparation photos as well as ceremony/reception photos (Brian was with the boys and Jennifer was with the girls). They are such great people and very easy going. We had such a great time working with them! I am SO glad that we chose them to photograph our day - every time I look at the pictures, I smile.

Deborah was great and the flowers were gorgeous. The only reason I gave a lower mark was because we had to switch from deep red amaryllis to red parrot tullips at the last minute (the day before) due to her vendor being unable to get deep red amaryllis. The only other thing was that the bridal flowers were not suppose to have greenery in them (too Christmas feeling for me). However, the reception flowers did make up for all of that!
