MrsS's reviews

Tim Paster at Artisan Photography is probably the best photographer in St. Louis. He photographed my daughter's wedding and the pictures turned out to be works of art. He doesn't take the ususal shots, he is imaginative and creative. My daughter's best friend hired him for her wedding and my daughter rearranged her wedding date just so he could be the photographer. Check out his website and you will see the difference. www.STLphotography

Aimee was a pure joy to work with. She was extremely helpful in guiding us to select the music for each part of the ceremony by taking the time to play pieces for us in the privacy of her home. Aimee is a professional, talented musician and I highly recommend her. Aimee's performance at our daughter's wedding was outstanding and made the ceremony even more meaningful.

Savvi Tuxedos had the best selection of tuxes and the best looking. We ordered from the store in the Galleria and the woman there was very helpful in make our selection.

After shopping around for a wedding dress the quest ended at the Ultimate Bride on Brentwood. My daughter wanted a wedding dress entirely of lace and they had the best selection. She picked out a designer dress and wowed everyone. It was the most beautiful dress! The alteration staff was extremely good at what they do too.

My son-in-law wanted a red velvet wedding cake which is a little unusual, but McArthur's Bakery made it happen. It was delicious and the decoration was beautiful, you can't go wrong with McArthur's for cake. 5 stars!

Colleen was extremely wonderfull to work with. The flowers that she arranged for my daughter's wedding were the most beautiful I've seen. She was very helpful with the color and flower design. I would hightly recommend Always in Bloom Florist. I like to help out the little guy instead of going with the larger florist in the area.

The ALTeration Band is a very professional band. Their appearance was formal, the music was very good. They had the reception dancing right after dinner to the very last song. Everyone had a great time. The only issue we had was with the band leader, Gordon Alt, he is a bit opinionated and argued with the mother-of-the-bride and the bride herself before they entered the reception regarding our timeline of events. e.g., party introductions, toasts, etc. Even though that happend behind the scenes, it did put a damper on the evening for me. The band and music was fantastic, but Gordan was a piece of work!

We worked with Joe Wand to plan our daughter's reception and he was outstanding! Half of our guests were from out of town and they couldn't beleive how beautiful the space was. The food was terrific and the wait staff was excellent. Joe helped with the smallest details, e.g., ordering special wine, having pizzas delivered, setting up a children's table. It was the perfect place for a perfect night. I highly recommend WOW.

PhotoboothSTL was one of the most fun things we hired for the reception. They suggested to have a scrapbook for guest to glue their pictures in. Guests could also keep their photos as a wedding favor. It was the hit of the night. You also get a CD of all the pictures that were taken from the entire night. Fun!
