Sherry was fabulous! Not only is she extremely talented, but also super sweet. I ran a little behind on the day of our ceremony and when I showed up, Sherry was able to calm me down and assured me that we were going to be okay on time. And she was right! I keep getting compliments on how wonderful my hair and makeup looked and I owe it all to Sherry!

During the reservation process, they were very kind and easy to deal with. On the day of, they showed up a half hour late and the driver didn't apologize. He wasn't very pleasant as well. But overall, we had an okay experience with them. Their prices were the most reasonable.

I will start by saying that the banquet hall is beautiful and the captain on the day of our reception was absolutely wonderful! Aside from that, we had a horrible experience dealing with the owner of the banquet hall. He will nickel and dime you for everything. He will promise you one thing and then go back on his word and say he never promised you that. He did this to me on numerous occasions, in front of my coordinator. He has tons of hidden fees. He told me that there will be no cake cutting fee if I went through his contracted bakers, and later to find out he claims he never told me that and ended up charging me a cake cutting fee. We paid for open bar for 6 hours that had a fully stocked bar including champagne. But if we wanted champagne served during the toast, we had to pay an additional $4.50 a person!

On the day of our reception, he got into an altercation with my coordinator after he once again recanted on a promise he had made me and her. He threatened to ruin our reception in front of all my vendors and his employees. He's extremely unprofessional. It's very unfortunate because the hall and food were amazing. All our family and friends raved about how good the food was, but I will never refer anyone to this place because of my horrible experience with Joseph.

Adam, the cake designer was who we originally met when we went for our cake tasting. He was really kind and sweet and was able to work with what we had asked him to do. During our engagement process, my DH ordered a special made cake for my birthday which was beautiful. On our wedding day, the cake was presented and made exactly how I had asked Adam to make. It wasn't until after the wedding that I found out there was an issue with the cake that my coordinator has taken care before I saw the cake. I had provided Adam with rhinestones to place around each tier of our 3 tier cake. Apparently when the cake was delivered, the rhinestones were placed inside out. Not exactly how I had it envisioned. So thankfully my coordinator caught it in time and had to pull them all out, wash them and replace them again. My recommendation to anyone working with Adam is to be VERY specific as to what you want to avoid issues like that. Other than that, he was very nice to work with.

Where do I even begin? From the moment I met Paola, I knew she was going to be a fantastic coordinator! Since hiring Paola, we never had to worry about anything. I literally was a stress-less bride. Anytime I had an issue with a vendor or with a wedding project, Paola was there to assist or offer her expertise. When it came to the day(s) of (she actually coordinated both of our ceremonies seamlessly!) I didn't have a worry in the world. The world could have been crumbling before my eyes and Paola took care of everything with a smile. I was oblivious to anything and therefore I was fully able to enjoy the reception. Hiring Paola was the best thing my DH and I did for our wedding planning. An absolute doll!

WOW, where do I begin? Beth is amazing and extremely talented. Like most brides, I'm very self-conscious about my body and was super nervous going into this shoot. The second I met Beth, I felt at ease..like I've known her for years! Micheline did an amazing job on my hair and makeup. I never felt sexier and more like a woman after leaving that session. I want to do it again! I can't wait for FI to open up his wedding gift and see the look on his face. I highly recommend any girl do this, not only for their future husbands but for themselves! You will love yourself for doing it!

I took my best friend to get her dress from Fionna's after being referred by another friend. She's an absolute doll! I knew from the moment I met her, I wanted to get my dress from her. So when it came time for my dress shopping, I did all the research after finding the dress I wanted, called up Fionna and she ordered it for me. She not only bet the price of the dress I originally found it from, but she even threw in a free veil and will be doing all the alternations in-house for an amazing price! She's super nice and honest and never pushy. She also gives you the option or rent or buy your gown. One of the best vendors I've met yet!

Raffi was absolutely wonder in working with us! My FI and I had gone in here months prior to our engagement to pick out rings. I had tried on the ring I fell in love with at a bridal show that they were at. Raffi was very honest, which we really appreciated. Never felt pressured into anything. I knnow my FI enjoyed doing business with him and we will definitely be getting our weddings bands from there too!

This was the first place I had gone to try on dresses. I went here specially because many of the dresses I wanted to try on were available at this place. Granted they had a large selection of gowns, they were so packed on the racks you can't even begin to search through them. I was displeased with the staff. Very unprofessional. As I was trying on dresses, other staff members freely walked into the room without even knocking! Hello!! Then, another staff member walked in to hand the girl that was helping me a tip that was left by another client. So tacky! I found a beautiful dress that I loved there, but I am hesitant to purchase it there simply because of the staff. I'll definitely be shopping around at other places!
