We needed a tent as a backup in case it rained, and the place I was having my wedding at insisted that over 2000 dollars was the best price for a tent of this size (through their preferred vendor), and that I would need to put down a deposit equaling HALF that amount 4 days before the date.

I called around and Party On Tent Rentals not only quoted me much lower, but also didn't even make me put down a deposit AT ALL. When we ended up making the call that we'd need the tent the evening before the wedding, John was ready with it by 7 am the next day. Not only that, but he was super-friendly, and willingly did a site survey required by my venue in advance. They did a fantastic job and I was very pleased. Can't say enough good things about this place.

Although I feel like tux rentals are ridiculously overpriced, I thought the tuxes we had the men wear looked great, and they all fit properly with no problems. It's convenient to be able to have the guys pick up and drop off the tuxes at any location. Also, my nephew and little cousin ruined their patent leather shoes, sliding on their knees on the dance floor, and MW Tux simply accepted them and did not charge them at all.

Albie, our wedding coordinator, was incredibly professional, helpful, and patient throughout the entire planning process. On our wedding day, we were very impressed and pleased with the attentiveness of the entire serving staff and the professionalism and calm manner of Albie himself. The entire day went just as we planned it, and Albie and his staff attended to absolutely everything. Our guests had a wonderful time and we did, too!

Chuck Crummy and the rest of the trio did a wonderful job playing for our wedding ceremony. They met with me beforehand to scope out the venue and played exactly as we discussed. There were no awkward timing issues when we walked down the aisle, as I've seen happen at other weddings. Very professional. Very affordable.

Rob and his band were the jazz band for our cocktail hour, as part of a package with One2One Pro DJs. They did a fantastic job, and played many of the songs I requested. Very professional. Can't say anything but good things about them.

James did a fantastic job as the DJ for our wedding. Everyone loved the songs he played, and we loved that he played the songs we wanted! He's really laid back and great to work with. He was not an obnoxious or crowd-stealing DJ--he simply did his job and did it well. His prices were so reasonable and he was very friendly and easygoing throughout the process.

Maryanne was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was flexible and happy to do what we wanted while still making suggestions for making everything look beautiful. Her prices were so reasonable and she was very willing to work with our budget (even when we changed it as we got closer!) Our flowers were simply gorgeous. There was not one thing wrong with them. Everything was delivered in a timely fashion and she did a fantastic job decorating with fabric swags and silk floral items as well. I highly recommend this florist.

I was the first bride to buy a dress in this new shop (now about a little over a year old). They were very helpful and flexible, and the reason I chose them in the first place is because of their pricing. I found a gown I loved but it was too pricey at the store I had found it in. I called around and not only did A Beautiful Bride offer me the cheapest price, but because they didn't have it in stock they took down my measurements and ordered it in my size, saying if I changed my mind they'd keep it for the store. It was a near-perfect fit and the in-house alterations made it a perfect one.

Tracey customized a package for us and was very flexible and eager to meet our needs. While she was pricier than the other photographer we had interviewed, we felt more comfortable and confident that she would do the best job. She did not disappoint us. Truly, this is the most important aspect of your wedding that you will pay for. It is the only thing (besides the dress and your marriage certificate :)) that you will have to remember the day, which will go by so quickly, as I'm sure you have heard. Tracey captured so many wonderful moments, and she managed to grab shots everyone looking their best. There were very few shots where people were making not-so-flattering faces; she managed to capture the expressions of everyone perfectly. We are so happy with the way our pictures turned out and feel that they are worth every penny we spent. The pictures were made available to us online just a couple of days after we returned from our honeymoon. Tracey herself is wonderful to work with; she is very friendly and warm and quickly made my camera-hating husband feel at ease.

All my bridesmaids had a great experience with their J. Crew dresses. The prices are good and the dresses, which come in many styles and colors, generally don't need alterations like the dresses you find in bridal shops. The quality is excellent. Everyone loves their dresses and plans to wear them again (or at least that's what they tell me :)).
