This was a great site for costume jewelry, I found a beautiful bridal set (which is featured on their website opening shot) that was high-quality and reasonably priced...looked gorgeous! They also have stunning tiaras.

I had my "Maids & Mothers" Tea here for my bridesmaids and mothers, where we had a beautiful pull cake with sterling charms. The tearoom did a lovely luncheon tea and made a white bridal purse cake which was gorgeous and they arranged the charms at the base for the pull. It was a great luncheon and a wonderful way to say thanks to the ladies of my life who played a special part of our wedding!

Kudos to this tea room --they create a fun, Victorian atmosphere and the food is delicious!

Our wedding napkins were shipped at the last minute (as we forgot to order them). They were quicker than the local stationary places could deliver, they were printed correctly, delivered quickly and the price was very reasonable!

Not sure on the price, as the catering was a gift, but I believe this was around the amount that was paid for about 85 people, give or take.

The food was wonderful. The only complaints I had was that the servers were dressed like guests, making it hard to distinguish who to ask if you needed anything. The caterer was also dressed rather casually for this event, but was sweet and again, the food was wonderful!! They took care of cutting the cake and made everything effortless. They also do a lot of catering for Roanoke City, I believe.

We only had one evening after the wedding (but we're taking a great Italy/Greece honeymoon later), due to school schedules and we stayed at the Lovestone Inn near Smith Mountain Lake.

It was a gorgeous tudor style inn, and the food/accommodations were both reasonable and lovely.

I highly recommend this place for a romantic getaway or honeymoon!

We did a traditional Southern "pull cake" with sterling silver charms for each of my bridesmaids and mothers at my Maids & Mothers Tea Luncheon. This vendor not only provided high-quality sterling charms (that were only $5.00/piece!), but they also came on satin ribbons ready to stick under the cake for the pull!

She kept in great communication and was really easy to work with.

My husband and his groomsmen all purchased their tuxes from After-Six and were extremely satisfied! They all looked great, and the staff was extremely courteous and called us with all of the updates.

Great customer service, good price, good quality!

I purchased a beautiful and formerly very expensive silk and alencon lace gown from this site. It had never been worn in a wedding, but had been worn in commercials. The same dress purchased locally would have cost a couple thousand dollars. The staff there was wonderful and it shipped to me in perfect condition within days of ordering. They also have evening gowns, etc.

D.J. Nowlan (D.J. is his actual name AND he is a DJ), accomodated our event both at the church and at the reception and did a great job. We would highly recommend this professional for any event! Very personable, and even put in some songs in his mix that he knew were our favorites, that we didn't have on the list, made for a nice surprise!

This vendor was professional from the initial tasting in her home (where she made several iced cupcakes from the various flavors I had chosen to try) to her delivery/pickup of the cake/cakestand. She travelled 40 minutes each way out of the city to deliver our cake at no extra charge. Not only did she do that and create the cake exactly how we wanted (we showed her a pic of a $1000.00 cake she was able to replicate for about $275); but she also made a groom's cake which I wanted to look like my husband's sports car (she made it down the the license plate!)

Both the cakes tasted wonderful and looked great. We highly recommend this lady for future weddings. (We even had her do a miniature cake for a romantic getaway, (one-layered with beautiful sculpted flowers---which she charged us $10 for!! Amazing!)
