Allison was the best! She is so personable, answered all of my questions and has a fantastic personality. She did my boudoir pictures as well and made me feel VERY comfortable. She constantly has words of encouragment which made both my husband and I feel justified in choosing Allison as our wedding photographer. Her pricing is very competitive and she had three teaser photos only days after our wedding. I would quickly recommend her to anyone looking to have their photos taken with flair and expertise.

Sandy at Capricorn was amazing to work with. I sat down with her, talked about my vision for decoration, my favorite types of flowers and the overall look that I was going for. She made lots of suggestions, showed me some examples and really explained everything thoroughly. I made several changes throughout the process and she made everything exactly how I wanted. Her work is gorgeous, modern and out of the box. She has designs that you don't see just anywhere and are one of a kind.

Norman and Jonathan were great to work with. During our initial consultation, we talked about some of the foods that we would be interested in tasting and talked about guest count, etc. During the tasting, they both answered all of our questions and more importantly, everything we tasted was amazing. There was a pasta dish that we were going to buy from another restaurant and they recreated the dish perfectly. They provided soft drinks and water and also waitstaff and barstaff. Their staff was attentive and made sure that all of our guests had everything they needed. The presentation was beautiful and all of our guests raved about the food. I would definitely recommend Great River Catering to anyone who is looking for wonderful service, great tasting food and competitive pricing.

Ana was amazing to work with. During our initial consultation, she had several flavors of cake and fillings for us to try which were all equally delicious. She took the time to explain the time process of certain cakes and decorations and her response time was FAST. I sent her a picture of a cake that I really wanted and she surpassed the inspiration picture. The cake was fresh and the fillings were amazing. The fondant was sweet and not too thick which made it taste very good. She also did the groom's cake in the shape of a New York Yankees baseball cap for the rehearsal dinner and that was a big hit with everyone! No one could believe that it was cake because it looked SO authentic.

I am working with Lynda and she has been amazing. She met us at our house for the initial meeting because we have children and I thought that this was generous and understanding on her part. Although we are having just the day of coordination, she is open by email and phone and has already met with me at my venue to talk about the space and decoration. She has offered many referrals including a JP which we are going to book for our ceremony. I would definitely refer her services to any bride.

Real Art Ways is definitely a venue for those who love something different and modern. The exposed brick and art on the walls make this is an excellent place to hold your wedding ceremony and/or reception. The gallery also rents out their theater space and we are having the ceremony there and our reception in the main gallery areas. Our guests are allowed to walk around and view the art. Ms. Munoz, who is the hospitality manager, has been amazing and pretty much has let us do what we want in the way of decor (you cannot hang anything on the walls). She has been available when we have needed her and I have been back on many occasions with my different vendors to look at the space and talk about decor, music, uplighting placement, etc.

I am having my makeup done by Candace who works for Naomi. When I went in for my trial, she made me feel extremely comfortable, asked me lots of questions about what look I was going for and never strayed from the inspiration pic that I gave her. She explained the techniques that she was doing and made me look amazing! Everyone that saw my makeup that day loved it!
I saw a pair of gorgeous blue shoes on someone's post and asked immediately where they found the shoes. I ordered the "Innocent" and they were shipped out the very next day. I received them super fast and they fit to perfection. ONE WARNING: Order a 1/2 larger than you normally wear. I usually wear a 71/2 and the size 8 fit perfectly. EVERYONE has gushed about the shoes and I am in total love with them. I will definitely be buying more shoes from them!

April Rose is absolutely gorgeous inside although it looks really small from the outside. They make all of their jewelry on site and my future mother-in-law purchased my necklace, bracelet and earrings from there. The owner is EXTREMELY helpful and so pleasant. I am going back with my MOH to try on dresses for her and my two little flower girls. They offer shoes, jewelry, wedding dresses, MOB/MOG dresses, bridesmaid dresses, purses, garters and much more. Make the trip - it's worth it.
