A local guy did our dj for our wedding. My maid of honor knew him from work and she talked to him about my wedding. He did a great job keeping the guests moving and dancing. He announced all of our events and he was a hit with the kids! Never a dull moment!

My husband loved going to Jared. I think he enjoyed going to get my ring to check it and make sure everything was right more than he enjoyed wedding planning. They take such good care of you there and they are all about you and what you want. No pushy sales people and they helped my clueless ring shopper out! He picked a gorgeous ring that I will cherish beyond a life time!

I bought my girls' flower girl dresses for $19.99 each on the clearance rack. They were last years baptismal dresses. Exact matches for sizes in 4 & 6.

Check your local crafts stores that have wedding items. Even if they don't have a wedding aisle look up books for DIY wedding favors. We had a blast making ours withing months of the wedding and everyone knew they were handmade and cherished them that much more!

We got a stretch truck limo for a phenomenal deal! Believe it or not at the last minute. The week before our wedding the guy who runs the company we previously had set up had a heart attack and they no longer could keep their commitment. The owner of truckasine pulled through for us and at an awesome rate. We were close to going without due to last minute prices from other companies. They are great!

Gregory's was great! We went in and gave them the bridal party info and they did the rest. THey did a great job measuring all the guys even our ring bearer! When our bridal party changed I stressed about letting the tux place know and all I did was call and they assured me it was taken care of. No problems at all!

I have a good friend who runs the Milanos in NOrth Dayton, Ohio and she did an awesome job on the catering for our wedding. We went very casual with sub sandwiches and lots of sides.

21 piece bouquet set came with 12 inch bridal bouquet, 4 bridemaids bouquet and toss. Plus bouts & corsages for mothers. Definitely check all options before going with one vendor. I saved tons going with silk flowers and I'll have them forever!

Walmart's wedding aisle has some great finds and great deals. Definitely try to DIY a lot of stuff and it will save you more than you can imagine. Best thing I ever did plus it added the personal touch to all aspects of my wedding.

My dress came in and they had ordered the wrong dress. My dress was scheduled to come in not even a month before my wedding and they did nothing but knock $40 off my alterations. The owner is well I won't even go there. The other ladies there are great and tried to help their best!
