The Applewood Grill has wonderful food, a full service bar, and great atmosphere. Their wait staff knows when to be attentive and when to stay away. I would highly recommend them for any large parties.

Abendblume is a luxury bed and breakfast. We stayed in the Tannenbaum room which runs a little over $200 a night. It was well worth the price tag! I loved the bed and the surroundings. The sheets and blankets were fabulous. The bathtub was huge and they had the best bubble bath I have ever used. Everything was so beautiful and romantic. We could see the mountains out our window and it felt as though we were living in Switzerland’s Alps. The innkeeper makes fabulous little pancakes that I now make for us on our wedding anniversary. It is located in Leavenworth, a romantic little town nestled next to the Cascade Mountains

Chateau Faire Le Pont is located within the city of Wenatchee. It is very easy to find and there is lots of parking. This winery itself is absolutely gorgeous. They have beautiful hard wood floors, wood beamed ceilings, and beautiful wooden tables. I completely loved the setting. There was plenty of room for dancing and celebrating. The wine was also very good! The staff was very easy to work with. They allowed us to store all our goodies in the basement until the day of the reception. They took care of all catering, cleaning, and set-up. It was the perfect place to celebrate our wedding.

Just Roses did two flowered candelabras as well as my bridal bouquet. They charged us a reasonable amount and gave us excellent service. I was trying to bring the costs down and I appreciated the customer service associate helping me pick out very simple flowers to use on the candelabras. Since they were situated so far from the audience she said that we did not have to use anything fancy unless we so wished. We did not have to pay any additional fees in order to rent the candelabras. The florist also delivered them and set the flowers up. My bouquet was simple, but beautiful. I still have it.

WFMC has a beautiful, large sanctuary. This is the perfect place if you wish to have a large wedding. We loved having the large cross in the background. The staff was wonderful. The church provides a wedding coordinator to oversee all the weddings and we appreciated her help and advice. She ensured that the whole day went off without any problems. I could not have imagined getting married somewhere else! The only piece of it I didn’t like was that the worship pastor was very particular about not letting us move around any of the greenery that was already on stage. We didn’t feel the need to so this wasn’t a concern for us.

Pastor John is an amazing minister and I was grateful to have him perform our marriage ceremony. As he was my pastor, I don’t know how to give an objective review. I will say that during our wedding there was a slight mix-up with the unity candle and communion service. Pastor John was able to cover it up so that none of our guests knew that we were having a problem. He made what could have been an embarrassing, awkward moment turn into a fond memory. Although I know he has married many people, he made our wedding day very personable and memorable. I cannot imagine having been married by anyone else.

Elements Salon is a full service salon. Trisha did my make-up. She was a very friendly girl and I enjoyed her company. She used the salon’s mineral make-up. We did a practice session first and I loved how I looked. I was very happy with everything until I received my wedding photos. The make-up had caked around my eye area and all my wrinkles appeared exaggerated. I do not know what caused this but it has never happened with any other make-up. I had even taken photos of myself during the practice session and did not notice any caking. I would not have my make-up done here again.

Trisha did both my hair and my make-up. I absolutely LOVED my hair. She did a wonderful job putting it in an updo, both on the practice run and for the big day. She took lots of time ensuring that my veil was comfortable and situated perfectly. It stayed in the whole day without any problems. I only give the service four stars because I had to bring in my own styling creams. For the amount of money I paid for the service, I felt as though the styling creams should have been included.

We chose to purchase our rings at Shane’s Company because of their reputation and fine service. My husband was concerned about what would happen if I didn’t like the engagement ring he selected. They assured him that he could return the ring if I wanted to pick something else out. Although we didn’t have to take advantage of that service, we appreciated the warranty. We also loved the warm cookies that we always waiting for us on the counter. They had a great selection of wedding rings and we found just what we were looking for. I would definitely shop there again.

Mills Bros. Menswear is easily Wenatchee’s best men’s clothing store. They cater only to men and have a wonderful selection of upscale men’s clothing. The tuxedos we ordered through them were very stylish and everything arrived on time. The tailor who measured the groom did a great job. The tailor was able to fit the rented tuxedo to a very hard to fit groom with only some minor sewing changes. If you have out of town guests coming in to pick up their tuxedos, this is a wonderful little shop to have them visit. The store has lots of personality and wonderful customer service.

I ended up using this on-line retailer after searching through all the invitation books at local vendors. I found this vendor to have the same items at much lower prices. Our invitations were beautiful and classy. They allowed me to order a sample invitation before placing my full order. The customer service associates were very helpful in assisting me in picking out the appropriate envelope combinations. I was trying to splurge on the actual invitation while cutting costs on the return cards. The website was easy to use. Everything arrived as ordered. I had zero problems or issues. I still love my invitations and am glad we ordered through this company.

Seamstress Mary is very personable and does an excellent job meeting your specific needs. Mary was able to alter one bridesmaid’s dress so that a large back tattoo was completely concealed. On a second dress, she was able to adjust the bust area for a very modest bridesmaid. She ended up adding some sheer fabric to cover all of the exposed cleavage. It was gorgeous and matched the dress design perfectly. My bridesmaid was able to wear the strapless dress without feeling as though she was giving up her modesty. This made for a much happier bride. I highly recommend her services.
