We are the only people on both sides of our family that live in london, ontario... So i went about calling local hotels that would offer us great group rates and perhaps a package! They gave us excellent rates at $109 for 2 dbl bed, upgrade to a french door suite for $10 more and for another $10 you can get a loft! And if we got more than 10 ppl to book we would get our stay in the loft on our wedding night for free!! What a deal! Not one other hotel that I called in london offered this! Way to go Radisson!

This show helped me out a lot! I was not sure at all where to start... It was however overwelming but, i guess that is what planning a wedding is about! We went with about 4 vendors because we found out about them through the show and the western fair grounds in london, ontario. Bridal shows really do help!

I heard about collins also from the bridal show. They were giving a deal that if we went with them, we would get our save the date cards, invitations and rental for the groom for free! The groomsmen would have to pay for theirs and we would have to purchase reply cards! Not a bad deal... We did however have to pay to rent the vest and shoes... I think, i'm not sure what it was but we paid about $40. We didn't however end up going with the invitations and save the date as i made them myself.

I found out about melrose bakery from the Bridal show i went in london at the Western fair grounds in Jan 2009 (could have been early feb) So we booked a date with them went in a tried there cakes and ordered one from them... We got butter cream filling with raspberries on one cake and strawberries on the other, it is a 2 teir cake.

I LOVE MY DRESS!! Being new to london I ended up going into Shopie's for my dress because it was the only gown shoe i knew of, and I heard of it from the regular adverts on 103.1 Fresh FM. The employees are amazing and did everything to help me out. I was a little late in choosing a dress so they ended up letting me buy one off the rack and i got a great discount!! Thanks Sophies!

Yes, believe it or not, lawblaws does wedding flowers, a friend of ours filled us in on this. They do excellent packages too, without leaving out anyone who would need something for the wedding...

I called a local college looking for some students that could possibly take the pictures for my wedding. I ended up finding out that there was someone on staff that was starting up her own business, I contacted her and she is not going to be doing our wedding. This is her first wedding so we got a good deal with her. We hired her for our engagement party and she did an amazing job! Can't wait for my wedding pics

We originally found this church from google maps and because it was close to our home, we ended up talking to one of the priests "in training" and went to a service. The church is a medium size church and the people are wonderful, we now attend this church every sunday morning for the 10:30 service and are enjoying it.

My wedding is in July 2009 and we choose the London Ukrainian Centre because they allowed us to bring our own liquor, provided that we get a liquor license and Liability. This is one of the main reasons we went with this hall, it saves us around $4000 compared to an open bar that we would be paying the establishment per drink. The manager is pretty open with what foods we are allowed to order and they are also will to change the menu for us if we are not happy with what are options are... Over all, i think the place we chhose is going to be wonderful!
