Mrs.Dowd's reviews

I loved my shower! It's always been one of my favorite restaurants. They are so creative with their entrees. I had never been there for a private party. The staff is excellent. They anticipated our needs so that no glass was empty; no dirty plate was left on the table, etc.

My bridesmaids and I did a spa day instead of boozing it up. The experience here was truly wonderful. The masseuse that did my massage had magic hands. We all left there feeling completely refreshed and relaxed. I certainly needed it!

We ordered our favors at this online shop. My husband and I are big coffee drinkers (we met at a coffee shop) so we loved the espresso cup favors we found here. Ordering online was easy; everything arrived in one piece - well-packaged.

This is a perfect place for a wedding reception, it was beautiful, the food was delicious (huge menu), all our contacts were extremely nice and helpful, the grounds are beautiful and perfect for pictures as well, everything was perfect... and the honeymoon suite is absolutely adorable too!

Loved my pictures! So clever and unique! And Darice was a pure pleasure to work with. She was so patient with me and told me to trust her - and I'm so glad I did!

The wedding flowers turned out beautifully and very fresh - exactly what I pictured, and reasonably priced. However, the service was less than stellar. They were late and offered no apologies.

Very beautiful church. The was courteous. A volunteer from the Wedding Guild assists throughout the whole process, including the rehearsal, decorations, music, etc.

I have been going to this salon for awhile, so I was already familiar with their work. They have a great wedding trial/wedding day package that I took advantage of. We played with different styles until we created one that captured what I wanted.

STD Cards: 4 Stars - We bought the paper here to do our save the dates (we d id them ourselves on the computer). They have a nice selection. A little pricey, but overall a good experience.

Invitations: 6 Stars - We LOVED our invitations! The experience was SO EASY - we did it online and everything was perfect. They arrived quickly, so we were ahead of the game for sending.

Bridal Gown: I loved the selection here! The staff was so friendly and helpful. I am a very anxious person and they didn't lose patience with me even after the millionth phone call. I only had to go to one shop to find my dream gown and all the accessories.

Bridesmaids' Dresses: I wanted one-stop shopping - all the gowns in one place, so they'd be easy to track. Again, the selection and service were great! I had an out-of-town bridesmaid and she was able to do everything online.

Alterations: Again - stayed with one place for all our alterations. They did a fantastic, fast job. The gowns were perfect! Mine looked like it was made especially for me.
