I forget how I found Debbie, but I spoke with her probably 6 months prior to my wedding. I was planning from South America and enlisted her services to assist me and my fiance through the planning process. I really did so much online, but required her expertise in things like our wedding time line, vendor contacts and day of coordination. Debbie ROCKED our rehearsal and our wedding day. She was professional in dealing with all my other vendors and the wedding party. She kept us on time and kept Toby and I up to speed on our everystep through the wedding process. She coordinated with a company to get my gold table number holders that I could not find anywhere and got our rented vases back to our florist. She was awesome in every way that we needed her. Thanks Debbie for helping our day run smoothly!!!

I went to Juliet's after attempting one other store. I had it in my mind that I would wear a Maggie Sottero. My attendant was great at helping me to pick a dress. I was limited on time because I live overseas and had to buy my dress that day. I ended up buying the Pronovias Levante. My dress arrived on time. At that moment I met Irene who would be my seamstress. I cannot say enough about Irene. I loved working with her and she did an amazing job on my alterations. It was worth every dime.

Colleen was amazing to work with. I told her what I wanted, showed her photos and on the day of our wedding I was amazed that everything was exactly like I wanted. The flowers where fresh, colosr vibrant and all the arrangements were beautiful . Our cake table looked amazing. Colleen was easy going and responsive. Her prices were amazing and she worked in my budget. We got to keep all the bouquet vases and the vases in our cocktail room. We received so many compliments. Thank you again Colleen.

Sugarbakers baked my grooms cake and wedding cake. I gave them the design for the grooms cake. Talk about amazing it was the talk of the night at Carrabbas. Our wedding cake we designed and they nailed it. Talk about fabulous we had yellow cake with strawberry mousse and chocolate red velvet fudge. Our families LOVED our cake. I also love the fact we get a fresh cake on our anniversary. How awesome is that. The cakes were more expensive than some bakers we visited, but worth every penny.

I purchased table numbers, signature drink cards, menu cards, reserved signs, programs, donation card, and a seating digital file from Giselle. I started working with her the end of October from my 11/20 wedding. She was amazing. Her prices are incredible and the product is top notch. My wedding planner commented that we had some of the best wedding stationary she had ever seen. We received so many compliments. I would recommend Giselle to those who DIY or those not so crafty. My digital file I took to Kinkos and printed. She incorporated our monogram from the fabulous Pink Designs and it was a common theme during the reception. Thanks again Giselle and happy planning to you!

Monica is fabulous. She is friendly, professional and I think price wise very reasonable for her services. She did my make-up for my engagement photos and it photographed beautiful. She did my whole bridal party and the moms on the day of. We ALL looked amazing and the make-up lasted the ENTIRE night. She combined air-brush and traditional we looked like WEDDING DIVAS. I think went it is time to do my B-Pics I will want Monica there with me to glam me up! The other thing is my mom commented that Monica seemed like one of my friends. Very easy going. Thanks again Monica!

What can I say about Ellen, but she is AWESOME! I saw Ellen's work by searching google. At the time, I was looking for a photographer just to do our Engagement shoot. We were scheduled to have a destination wedding. When we decided to take a more traditional route Ellen was so great and patient. She worked with us with the date until I found a vendor. She was also at the same time helping her daughter plan her September wedding. I live out of country so Ellen would forward vendor info to me. She was like my non contracted wedding planner. I was only in the US for 5 days in May and only had a small window of time to take photos for our engagement. Of course it rained that day. Ellen took our photos on her porch so we would have a photo for our Save the Date.

The day of the wedding her and her assistant Lauren were awesome. Punctual and although I really knew they were there we got some awesome shots. I would love to be able to take my maternity photos with Ellen. She is great and her quality of work and professionalism shine through and through. Thanks Ellen.

Debbie Donovan's shop was AMAZING! When my Fiance visited the Mansion last spring we knew this was the place for us. We found the Valley Country Club on google. We knew we wanted a more intimate setting than a hotel. We love the decor of the Mansion. My fiance being a huge sports fan loved the bar, which gives you the feel of a real Sports Bar. Debbie assisted us during the planning process by recommending vendors and giving decor ideas. Debbie customized the bar with beer chosen by my fiance and by including our signature drink. Her staff is amazing. Aturo and Ingrid where amazing during the ceremony and during our cocktail hour. The Mansion looked amazing. NOTHING WENT WRONG during our wedding. The timing of everything was fabulous and ran smoothly. The Valley Country Club is a great value in the Baltimore Area. Thank you Debbie, Jennifer and the rest of the VCC Staff.

November Update:

I worked with JBDesigns on our Save the Date mini magnets, our invitations and rehearsal dinner invitations. Jessie was awesome to work with. We received so many compliments on our invitations. They were unique and Jessie took our ideas and created what we wanted. Her prices are amazing and I do believe for the price I had some of the best wedding stationary. I received samples from larger companies and I love and prefer the custom work I got from Jessie. Thanks again JBDESIGNS!



I just finished working with Jessi on my STD's. She was patient during the design process. She took my ideas and turned them into something that we really liked. The quality of our STD is fabulous. We went with a card and mini magnet. The card stock was beautiful. I will be ordering them this week. I cannot wait to get the finished product. You can view our STD on my BIO. The chocolate is really rich and my not come across on the computer and the orange was the orange we were looking for! Oh and price is very reasonable....

Update June 14, 2009
We got our Save-the-Dates. We loved them! We are mailing them tomorrow. We will be working with Jessi on our invites and other paper products!!
