My DJ, Chris Kepics, was amazing. We had a lot of older people and very young kids in attendance and he catered to everyone. People danced and ahd a great time. He had thousands of songs to choose from and if he didn't ahve one that I wanted he would find it. He also doubled as my announcer and he managed to corall people to the right places at the right times without seeming pushy or rude like some DJ's. I had a great time dancing to his music. Thank you, Chris!

I was unimpressed with Jeff's Flowers. My bouquet looked small and it had these wierd green flowers poking out of it like weeds. I asked for a simple arrangement of lilac roses, purple lisianthus, and caspia with a little greenery around the bottom. I also asked that the roses be medium open. They were almost all barely open at all. The lilac looked an awful lot like dark pink. I picked off all the ugly green flowers sticking out and that salavaged my flowers. The bridesmaids had single roses which were beautiful and medium opened. I honestly wanted to bunch theirs up together and use them as my bouquet. I ended up with a mixture of rose and orchid boutineers and corsages. I only asked for roses. I had no idea where the orchid ones came form. They were not clearly labeled as to which went to whom and therefore my mother ended up wearing the small one designed for the guest book attendant. The flowers were the worst part of my wedding.

Overall my reception was beautiful. There were a few minor issues like the white chairs not being delivered in time and a slight mix up with the table center pieces. And one of the canapes I picked was switched with another one (similar, but not the same). We were, however, reimbursed some money to cover the slight problems on the day. Their wedding planner, Shay Barksdale, was wonderful and nice and polite all the time. I really enjoyed working with her.

We thought it would be fun to catch a drag show for our bachelorette party. We took about ten girls who were all ready to drink and have a good time. We paid to sit in the VIP area. The cocktail waitress was slow and did not bring us glasses when we ordered bottles of champagne. We were not allowed to take any pictures even while there were no drag queens on "stage." The stage was just a small dance floor which you were kicked off of everytime to good song came on because it was a drag queens song to dance to. And heaven forbid you wanted to use one of the TWO bathrooms available. You would ahve to wait upwards of 20 minutes. I would not take another group of girls to the rainbow room.

We had to find a new cake vendor at the last minute (30 days till wedding). The woman at the store was very nice and helpful. The cake did not look excatly as I had imagined it, but it tasted wonderful. I wasn't sure if the top was going to be left for our one year anniversary.
