My guests can stop raving about The Tides! It is such a stunning place that provides outstanding service. My husband actually found the place and fell in love with it immediately. It was my third place and I understood why he had fallen in love with it. The grounds were absolutely gorgeous and the inside was breathtaking. We worked with Tom the banquet manager and he was so helpful throughout the whole wedding process. After our food testing we knew that the food was going to delicious. On our wedding day, 4/25/09, Mike our Maitre‘d was so attentive, very professional and made us feel taken cared of. Tom was also there to make sure everything was on track. I’ve been married only 5 days and I am still hearing about how great the food was and how much food there was at the cocktail area and Viennese table. One coworker actually wants to renew her vows at the Tides now! I highly recommend the Tides. The grounds are so beautiful, the inside is gorgeous and the service is exceptional. There’s no comparison especially if you are on a budget!

I met Laurie at a wedding showcase and instantly fell in love with her work. She was the only florist I saw and I am so glad I went with my gut feeling. Laurie and her staff were a pleasure to work with throughout the planning of my wedding. On my wedding day, April 25th, everyone raved about my ceremony and reception decor. It was more beautiful than I could've ever imagined. My bouquet was gorgeous and was the exact color "coral" that I had dreamed. My BM flowers were absolutely vibrant and reflected the colors of my wedding and Spring. It’s great to work with someone so dedicated to her work and provides such great service for a reasonable price because this is her passion. I definitely recommend Laurelwood Designs for all your flower needs!!!

I can't praise Evelyn enough. She is so talented! She was one of my favorite vendors for my April 25th wedding. I only had a makeup trial with her and I was sold! She knew exactly what look I wanted to go for. I booked her a year and a month before my wedding and actually used her for parties I attended throughout the year. On my wedding day I received so many compliments. Everyone was asking me who did my makeup. My bridesmaids also got their makeup done and all looked beautiful. They all have different skin textures and tones and she enhanced their beauty. She is very professional, responsive and talented. Our makeup lasted all night even though it was the hottest day in April. I wish I could have her do my makeup everyday! I highly recommend Evelyn Abanto!

Mandy was one of my favorite vendors for my April 25th wedding. She was very professional from the beginning and we just clicked. I didn’t have a trial with her until a month before the wedding due to me changing my mind about another vendor. My trial came out great but I later changed my mind from an up do to a half up half down do. She was very understanding and agreed we could change it on the day of the wedding. I emailed her a picture and my hair came out absolutely beautiful on day of. She also did all of my bridesmaids hair, which all have different textures and their styles held up all night. The girls looked so beautiful. Mandy was quick, precise and talented at what she does. I definitely recommend her to everyone. My hair is naturally very curly and up until I met Mandy I never thought I could wear my hair down without it frizzing. My hair held the whole night even though it was the hottest days in April. I got so many compliments on my hair!
