WGM's reviews

Yes this is truly a port-o-potty company. As outside venues are getting more and more popular you need to make sure that you guests have all the things that they need and this includes a place to do their business. The people at Associated products put me at ease. I was so terrified that I was renting the ugly blue Johnny on the Spots but these turned out to be nice large units that were white, smelled good, had plenty of room and were arguably cleaner than my toilets at home. They were delivered to the exact spot where they needed to be the day before the wedding, they were completely self sufficient, although we did add little bathroom baskets, and having a his and hers made it very easy for our guests. Looking back not one person ever commented on the fact that there were portable toilets and they were picked up as quickly as they were delivered for a very reasonable price.

We used an online retailer for our favors on the tables. We wanted to put something small on the tables for everyone to be able to take with them. We purchased individual teabags with our fall theme on them and all the information in regards to the event. They turned out perfectly. My Matron of Honor took care of ordering these for me. They were reasonably priced and you got to design your favor and order them instantly. They arrived within four days and if there had been any problems they had a foolproof return policy with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. I do suggest using online retailers if you know what you want and can get it. The price points are usually lower.

I cannot stress enough how important your DJ or Emcee is to the flow of your wedding. I lucked out in choosing mine. Gary was a pro. He has been in business for over 20 years and there is a reason he is so highly recommended. He met with me twice prior to the wedding to set up all the details. He showed up 2.5 hours early to set up and then played complimentary music for the guests as they walked from their cars. He totally worked the wedding through all the necessary steps, dances, toasts, dinner, and then added some of his own very creative twists to it by putting in little games that turned out to be so much fun. He had my guests on the dance floor all night and my husband and I smiling. I would use them again if I got remarried.

This is a small jointly owned bakery in Historic Gettysburg. The pastry chef is a genius and her work is amazing. She sat down with us during their rush on a busy Saturday and went through all the options that she had. Then she brought out her book of past cakes for us to look at. It was truly just page after page of gorgeous designs. Each cake was exquisite, creative and delicious looking. We paid a very reasonable price per head and the cake was delivered to the site the afternoon of the wedding. She personally brought it and set it up. Then prior to leaving she took pictures which she then sent to us for our scrapbook. The cake tasted amazing. I was not a traditional bride and went with white cake with pumpkin icing. The guests loved it and the top which was supposed to last until the next year lasted two weeks!

Festive board was the best choice we could have made for a caterer. We had a buffet dinner for 120 people and cocktails with hors d'oeuvres prior to the dinner. I budgeted $5000 for the food and they kept it right at that budget. The owner was completely hands on in the planning process and the food we had was much higher quality than we paid for. Everyone loved the food. I know this because three months later we went to dinner with a couple that attended and when I asked the husband how his pasta was he said, “not as good as the pasta at your wedding” score a point for me! They did not provide alcohol but when we put it behind the bar they did everything else. I would use them again in a heartbeat and would tell anyone I knew to do the same.

I ordered everything from the tent that my guests sat under to the chairs and tables, silverware and china from this company. The tent was delivered and set up the day before the wedding in the morning. It was not a small tent by any means 40*60 feet. The four men setting it up had it done in 3 hours and then set up the tables and chairs for both the ceremony and the reception. Their service was very good they were careful with the lawn and the driveway since they used big trucks, and after the wedding was over they came back on Monday to pick up everything. We didn’t need to do anything for them except pay the bill and provide the location.

Photography was an area where I did not want to spend a fortune. I am NOT a picture person and so spending thousands on pictures seemed absolutely ridiculous to me. I found Conte photography through the knot and was sold instantly when I met with the owner. He was an older gentleman who was so passionate about his job. I knew that I was in good hands. I told him exactly what I wanted and that was exactly what I paid for. The photographer contacted me a few days before to set up the time schedule, she already had my list of important pictures, and was ready to go. She showed up on time and bubbly, she took only the pictures that I wanted and offered suggestions as to what popular pictures we might want. She stayed the whole time and I received my master DVD the day I got back from my honeymoon.

I consider Catoctin Mountain growers to be my diamond in the rough. We did all the décor for our wedding ourselves and I wanted fall colored flowers without having to pay a fortune for them. We needed so many flowers to decorate the site and were told by multiple florists that by the middle of October many fall flowers were wilting and it was too late. When I called the gentleman from CMG he was so pleasant on the phone and even let me come in on a day that they were not open to the public. Technically you can only pick up flowers on Saturday’s unless you are a commercial business. My wedding was on Saturday and there was no way I was going to get there. They let me come with a truck and pick up everything on Thursday and then when I forgot my checkbook, not realizing that they didn’t take CC’s they let me mail it to them, no questions asked.

The jeweler that my fiancée chose was hands down one of the best choices that were made for the wedding. My fiancée spent months looking for the ring and went there to have it custom designed. He was able to pick out ever single diamond that went into the ring and it was amazing. Then when we considered a band, we needed to have it custom made to fit the ring and the prices we had quoted by other jewelers was out of control. They specially ordered another ring and hand designed a gold band for me. Their service and follow-up was much more than we could have asked for. They have called twice since to make sure that we were completely satisfied. They have sent us birthday coupons and even a personalized card the day of the wedding to congratulate us. Their bedside manner is excellent and I would go back in a heartbeat.
