Great service and turnaround time. Jessica (the calligrapher) is a pro and it's a GREAT touch for weddings, an easy way to add elegance...a lot of my guests took notice and mentioned it to me! ALSO- no invitations were sent back to us (i.e. she got all the addresses right)!

We went here to buy my husband's band. They had a great selection and service was excellent considering they took the time to explain everything to us and to answer all our meticulous questions.

The ring came on time, he loves it and they offer free cleaning when you go in. all in all we are glad we came here.

Dory is a talented seamstress. With that said, my first fitting was a nightmare and supposedly she had given it to her intern (or someone under her) to do it and that was partly why. I also acknowledge my dress was extremely difficult to alter given that it had 7 layers of support in the bust and my bust is pretty non-existent.

However, after the first fitting nightmare, she took it back to fix it and it came out relatively well. I don't think it would've looked much better unless I had taken it to a fashion guru since the dress itself was difficult but it fit, it didn't fall off, and it looks great in the pictures.

She was also really helpful in that she changed my bustle last minute for me. So even though I had one bad fitting, I still give her 4 stars for the final output.

The owner is a very honest woman, very accomodating and kind.

Our flowers turned out good, not great. I guess they didn't have the availability of one color I wanted so they substituted it with a lighter one (it's allowed in the contract) so it didn't quite have the same effect I had intentioned but they were still nice.

They offer traditional arrangements, nothing really design-ish but if you're just looking for simple elegance than this is probably good for you since they don't charge a fortune.

The delivery was a little behind the day of but they came.

We had a blast coming here for my friend's wedding ( I was the bridesmaid). Planning was really easy with Glen Ivy and we stayed at the Ayres Suites really closeby. It wasn't too crowded and with a group of 5 we stuck together pretty well and was able to enjoy all the amenities. The mud bath was an experience, just hanging out by the pools was also really fun.

Pricey couture jeweler, not as well known as Tiffany's.

I found a variety of beautifully unique designs here that I just could not find anywhere else! I even asked my fiance's uncle (a jeweler) to recreate something like Niwaka's and he said it was undoable. I am very, very happy with my purchase from them even though it cost a lot but it's really unique and comfortable to wear.

Well-priced, delivers exactly what you order.

No return policy. Some of my bridesmaids went to other salons to try on the dresses so that helped tremendously in the sizing process. Ordering is easy.

Dresses were wrinkled when they came, though. You will need to press/steam them so remember to count costs for that.

The candied apples here are AMAZING, i am not normally a sweet tooth but i ate a bunch of them before my wedding.

you have to pick them up yourself a day or two before the big day and then wrap them yourself. I got cellophane bags from michael's and they were too small so I went to kelly paper store to get some bigger ones which finally fit. make sure you order the cellophane bags well in advance, they are sometimes hard to come by.

The church offers two rooms: the sanctuary which is huge and will accomodate a very large number of guests, and the chapel which accomodates about 160 seated.

The lighting is beautiful, music sounded nice in the chapel and a bride's room. Everything is well situated. They have a main coordinator, Diane, and some assistants. Sometimes contact is slow but we did not have a problem planning our wedding overall. Just make sure to test our your music (if you are using electronic media) before the actual day.

We ordered a wonderful wedding cake, it was not NEARLY as expensive as we thought it would be (after all, it IS famous).

Service was slow, appointments are recommended even though they don't follow them by the hour. The cafe with yummy snacks downstairs makes the waiting bearable.

Meeting with them was also a relatively slow process although I have to say the final output (cake, delivery) was a charm and we were really happy with the way it tasted.
