I totally agree with everyone else. Mark was awesome. He was very reasonably priced compared with other DJ's, and very experienced. Of the 400 or so songs we requested, he only didnt have two, and they were a French song, and a special remix. He wasn't too chatty, played what we requested, and kept people dancing. He didn't have a strcit time limit, just played and kept the party going.

We really liked Scott's! Our contact person was Corey Jelliffe. She was amazing. We had another venue initially. They went out of business, taking our deposit with them. We contacted Scott's, desperate, and they stepped up immediatly. We had a tasting, the same as the others - chicken & salmon, as well as the mushroom raviolli. I didnt try the salmon, but the other two were great. Corey was quick to return emails and phone calls, even coming in on her day of to make sure our set-up went smoothly. They arranged child meals and gluten free meals for some of our guests even. The only downsides were that it was quite warm, despite repeated request to turn up the air conditioning, and the food service was a little slow. But overall, a wonderful experience, highly recommended.
Lauren Crew is an amazing photographer. She was the first person we met, and we hired her immediately. She is a warm, friendly, but highly professional person. She arrived promptly, took gorgeous pictures, and everyone raved about her. We highly recommend her.
Rebecca Garrett does amazing cakes. We first heard about her, when a friend had one of her cakes for her birthday party. It was absolutely delicious. We met with her for our tasting and she had several varieties of cakes, fillings and icings for us to sample. It was all fantastic. She is a warm, friendly, but highly professional person. Our cake was delivered promptly, and everyone raved about it. We highly recommend her.
Alex did such an amazing job for us. I was getting stressed about all I still had to do, and my lack of design talent. We ordered 2 sets of favor tags, a program template, and table numbers. She was very quick, and easy to work with. She sent me the initial proofs very quickly. There were a few emails back and forth, tweaking it. She was super patient with me. I very highly recommend her. Very professional. Thanks Alex!!
Do not use this vendor. I received my dress and it had stains and reeked of cigarette smoke. She suggested I use Febreeze and Dryell dry cleaner sheets in my dryer. Um throw my wedding dress in the dryer?? I don't think so! I researched reputable dry cleaners in my area that do wedding dresses, and got quotes ranging from $50-150. I politely requested she pay $75 for drycleaning. I said I would refund if it was less than that, and pay the difference myself if it was more AND that I would provide a receipt as proof. She flat out denied me. She said she gave me a great deal and I should be so happy she did it for that price. That it was custom made, that because of my 'physical distinction' (meaning fat) that she had to make it fit. I found this woman on Ebay where she has many many listings for custom made plus size wedding dresses, ranging from $100-300, with 2 dresses that are $400. Mine was $400. So how is my custom made plus size dress different from all the other ones listed for the same exact price or lower? How am I getting 'such a great deal'? Then she said *I* breached the contract by not telling her I was sensitive to cigarette smoke. Um just because I don't smoke, and don't want my dress smelling like an ashtray doesn't mean I am allergic or anything. Her ebay store says absolutely nothing about a smoking enviroment, or I would have ever hired her. She said the stains are easy to get out with stain remover, but if that is true, why didn't she remove them before shipping it to me. It also had a bunch of short black cat or dog hair on it. I am just so mad. And I tried both ebay and paypal with no luck. She emailed me outside of ebay and had me contract with her directly to save the posting fees. Now I know why. And paypal said they only cover delivery, not the condition it arrives in. So I am going to post bad reviews everywhere I can find and warn everyone about this shyster. Do not use this vendor.
