We stayed here for my bachelorette party! This was a great place for a getaway with my girls because it was within driving distance so it made it easy for everyone to be able to go, and it was more special than just driving downtown to a bar for one night. We spent the weekend on the lake and hiking the beautiful trails at some of the parks...and at night we hung out in our room--we had a suite and it had a kitchen so we were able to cook meals in our room and it was really nice to have that option. The room also had a big whirlpool tub in it and enough space for all of us with a pull-out couch. We all had a great time and it's a great place to relax!

Dave was great!! I had heard he did a good job at one of my friend’s weddings and after seeing her wedding dvd we booked him as well. He got really great angles and shots and put together a creative dvd set to music that we were able to choose, it was awesome. We watch our dvd often and are so thankful he put so much time and effort into it, and that we decided to have a videographer. His services are very fairly priced as well, he should be charging way more than he does. We were very pleased with the results and would recommend him to anyone.

Abbey has such an artistic eye for detail and a great vision when it comes to photography. We originally choose her because we liked her personality and the shots we saw on her website, and she had awesome prices and helped us stay inside our budget. We could tell she really loved what she did and really wanted our business. But—for the price we paid we were blown away with what we received…so much better than we could have ever imagined. I still look at our wedding albums everyday and I never tire looking at her photos. I can’t put into words how wonderful we feel about our pictures! Pictures are absolutely priceless.

This resort is amazing. They had so much to offer and do while on the campus that we never sat still or got bored! It was absolutely breathtaking and well worth the time flying there and the money spent. As honeymooners, we received free upgrades and were treated like royalty everywhere we went. They offered several different honeymoon packages that we enjoyed together. The accommodations were luxuries and the staff was really nice. We really enjoyed our stay and plan on going back again~!!

These were a hit! They were so much fun to design and it is so convenient to be able to do it online. The guests and children all loved them and they were really “cute” The only downside was that they were a bit spendy-more than we hoped to spend but m&m’s are our favorite candy (we had them on our first date!) so we decided to splurge and were glad we did. The website is easy to use and they had a decent turn around time…we didn’t have to wait too long. And they actually sent us extra which was really nice!!

I am not a huge fan of cake so we decided to try and save some money in this area since it’s not a huge area I was interested in. We researched on line and I think I eventually found her on craigslist. She made us a sample cake and it was quite good so we booked her. The cake tasted great and she did a good job but I would have liked a bit more a of professional look to it. It didn’t look horrible but it could have looked better. I gave her a picture and it resembled it slightly but she needs to practice a little more. She did save us a ton of money though and I guess the taste is what matters most!!

We planned a bridal shower-luncheon and held it at Sunsets. It was a great place! The staff was friendly and accommodating and we had our own little private section so we could enjoy our time together. We were allowed to bring in our own dessert and they were very nice about it….and their food is delicious! The restaurant is fancy but not over the top so we all felt comfortable and at ease. Overall it was a great experience!!

It was in January (2008) at the Minneapolis Convention center and it was amazing! It was so helpful to see the upcoming styles and trends of the wedding industry and I got insightful help and creative ideas from the vendors there. From the show we found a lot of our other vendors so it was nice because we hit like 6 birds with one stone! I would definitely recommend checking a wedding fair out, I was unsure about it at first but I am so glad I went! I only gave it a 4 because at times it was really busy and we didn’t get around to every vendor we wanted because of the crowds….but still helpful and fun!

I just loved David’s Bridal. They had so much selection to choose from and I really liked how you could choose the same color but any style variation of the dresses. We also were able to dye our shoes the exact color of the Bridesmaids dresses which looked so nice instead of having to try and find ones that match for everyone. We loved how we could also get them altered right there, and they would hold them for us if we didn’t want to take them home months before the wedding. It was very convenient.



We bought our bridesmaid dresses from David’s Bridal (review above) so we went ahead and had them altered there and they turned out really great-the gals there did a wonderful job and the alterations were to a T! All the girls looked and felt comfortable in their dresses and I think that is the most important part. They were willing to work with us and keep altering until everyone was satisfied and the dresses fit right. I would go back there in a heart beat!
