My DJ Jeff Nelson was also included in my package for The Castle at Ashley Manor. We have received so many compliments about him since our wedding. I loved the fact that he got into the Halloween theme & brought fog machines & strobe lights to help create our ambience. He also brought glow sticks for the children during the reception. The best thing I can say is that he was caring enough to ensure that my husband & I sat down & actually ate dinner before visiting with our guests. He is the most professional DJ I have ever seen & I will continue to use him for my future functions.

The cake was included with my package for The Castle at Ashley Manor. I can not tell you how amazed I am with Nancy Ray's cakes. Being raised in the south I love Red Velvet Cake & have not been able to find a decent one until now. She has the best Red Velvet Cake I have ever tasted. I also went to her with a very unique design & I didn't think anyone would be able to pull it off. I wanted our favorite jokes & movie lines written all over the cake since my husband & I text each other all day when we are bored at the office. I also wanted Stormtrooper action figures on the cake since my husbad is a huge Star Wars fan. Nancy Ray's creation absolutely blew me away. She is the best cake designer I have dealt with & I will always go back to her for my cake needs.

We really enjoyed the service at Men's Warehouse. They helped us with every aspect of choosing the tux's for our wedding. Our sales rep even got on the phone with my father who had just purchased a tux from them to make sure the style of his tux would match all the others. They were fantastic.

This florist was included with my package for The Castle at Ashley Manor. She was so friendly & knowledgeable. I gave her an idea of fall colored flowers & she ran with it. Our flowers were more than I ever expected. She is fantastic.

We love this pizzeria! We found this place by accident actually when we went to try another restaurant for our rehearsal dinner. We were having approximately 50 at the rehearsal since most of our guests were coming from out of town. They always great & friendly service with fantastic food. They also have one of the only rooms that would fit 50 people & prices that were very affordable. This is a fantastic place for a rehearsal dinner.

I can not say enough about this venue and it's employees. They were a godsend to a bride that had to plan the wedding on her own since her family was out of state. My husband & I fell in love with this venue the minute we saw it. It was classic & elegant but would also work well with our Halloween theme. We went with the imperial package that included the venue, flowers, food, DJ, bartender, linens, china, security & wedding coordinator. It was worth every single penny & mu coordinators took care of everything. You can't beat a one stop shop that is so professional. Not one thing went wrong that day & the wedding turned out better than I had imagined it. I highly recommend this facility to anyone wanting a perfect wedding!

My husband is a very loyal Royal Caribbean cruiser so we decided our honeymoon would be a 7 night Mexican Riviera cruise. Normally this cruise line is top notch all the way. This cruise however was not which was quite disappointing. We set up a honeymoon registry & had numerous items ordered for us. Upon arrival we had not received the stateroom decorations, a crayola color kit or a very expensive romance package. I complained to the cabin steward who said they could not find the order. 2 days after sailing they finally found the order & tried to rectify the situation. We were still quite disappointed that we never received parts of the romance package that we paid for. On the upside they did have a great honeymooners party for us & we are hoping this was a 1 time lack of proper customer service. Seeing as this was the only time we have had difficulty with this cruise line I would still recommend it.

I went to Mon Amie Bridal Salon in Costa Mesa Ca for my dresses as well as the Bridesmaids & MOB dresses. I have never seen such poor service. It was quite ridiculous. While shopping for my dress the experience was OK. I had an attentive sales rep who did really find a great dress at a decent price but getting the rest of the dresses was mortifying. When I went with my bridesmaids I was short on time since I was only in town for a couple days. We were given a sales rep who had absolutely no experience & a very bad attitude. I had to choose all the dresses myself & help my bridesmaids try them on. We then waited well over an hour for anyone to come back & check on us even though we had already complained. During this time I was also helping my mother find her dress. Her sales rep at least had some experience & apologized profusely that we had been abandoned by our sales rep but she refused to listen to what my mother was saying in terms of what kind of dress she wanted. I ended having to go pick out dresses that I knew my mother would like & try them on her because she wouldn't listen. It just got worse after that & I won't go into detail about picking up the dress. I would not recommend this shop to anyone & I have heard many more complaints about them since.

I went to Dolce with absolutely no idea of how to do my hair for the wedding. They were amazing. My stylist came up with a great design that would hold up a curl even though my hair never holds a curl. I regularly go to this spa & love it.

Our bartenders were included in our package with The Castle at Ashley Manor. They were always attentive, courteous & helpful to the guests. We were also able to provide our own liquor which saved a huge amount of money.
