Xixion's reviews

Mitchel was great. Very personable and helpful throughout the entire process. He actually took over as the coordinator for the middle-to-end of the reception, telling everyone when to cut the cake, throw the garter, etc. Pictures were great and the price was fantastic. He went above and beyond. Can't say enough nice things about the guy.

I designed a tux on their website, went to the store, and was told they didn't carry half of the pieces anymore--so I had to pick new tuxes on the spot. Not a big deal... ordering the five tuxes was a bit of a headache since all my groomsmen were scattered across the country and I wanted to pay for each. After going back and forth about addresses and payment, we finally got things settled. Until the groomsmen tried to get fitted. I ended up having to talk to several different brances (including my initial home branch) sometimes multiple times for the same result. And then returning the tuxes was a hassle due to the local management. Oh, and half the suits were missing pieces or the wrong size(s) when I picked them up. They got the missing pieces or correct sizes in, but we had to pick them up the morning of the event. Thought I'd paid for better planning than that.

Blue Nile was great. I got my wife's engagement ring and wedding band there for great prices. Both are beautiful. We actually had to send the engagement ring back after I proposed to get a half-size smaller (my mistake on the sizing). They were really helpful and transferred the stone over and shipped it back quickly.

Our rehearsal dinner was held at the DoubleTree hotel mostly for convenience of the guests (since almost everybody was from out of town). Less hassle--not having to cart everyone around and make sure they find it / get there / etc. The food was good and exactly what I'd asked for.

A phenomenally kind man, Mr. Wiggers performed our ceremony perfectly (better than we did, certainly). He allowed us to write our own ceremony, but also offered to make one for us if we preferred. I don't have enough nice things to say about this man.

We mostly purchased small nicknacks to compliment things we'd gotten around downtown Nashville, but Target had a nice assortment of themed items for sale at reasonable prices.

The wings here are great--everything is made in front of you. Good drinks, really friendly staff (a few of them bought me drinks for my bachelor party). Nice people, we try to go once a week.

The selection could have been nicer, but the vendors present were nice. There are some kinks that need to be worked out (the previous reviewer's statement about the gift-dispersal system being a major one). It was a good attempt and worth a look if only for ideas.

Selection, selection, selection. If there's one thing this store has--it's that. The staff are typically nice and helpful and you can really find some great things for guests or decoration, especially if you're willing to look outside traditional "wedding areas" in the store.

I agree with the previous poster about the red velvet cake. Our cake was exactly like we designed with the staff there. They took the time to listen (and help us along) until we were satisfied with everything. Great service and staff.
