The church sufficed. We booked our reception site before we booked our church, and we had to find a church that could work within our time frame (DH insisted on getting married in a Catholic church). I was not overly impressed with the appearance of the church, nor the church coordinator (they sent my marriage license back to the city hall over 2 whole weeks after the wedding, thus delaying me from changing my name). The priest did a very nice job with the homily at the service, and it all worked out fine...but it definitely would not have been my first choice.

They by far had the BEST pricing around; $805 including tip for ~7-hour shuttle. Jason was very easy to work with. They picked up my OOT guests at the hotel, transported them to the church, then to the reception, then back to the hotel. The feedback I received was that the guests really enjoyed not having to worry about driving. One suggestion, have your hotel put a sign in the lobby alerting the guests to the shuttle.

I had an excellent experience with Pearl's Place. I ordered both my wedding gown and my seven BM dresses through Pearl's Place. My dress (Maggie Sottero "Cleo") took 3 months to arrive. My Watters & Watters BM dresses (#1253) took 1.5 months to arrive. All arrived in perfect condition with no problems. Pricing was significantly better than bridal shops. I saved 42% on my dress, and my BMs saved 38% on their dresses.

I bought the set at a bridal show in January and loved it. I loved it even more on the day of my wedding. I received quite a few compliments on it. And for the price, you just can't beat it.

Chris is fantastic! Originally my aunt was supposed to do my alterations, but she just didn't have the time, so I had to scramble the beginning of June to find a seamstress. Chris was kind enough to squeeze me in to her busy schedule. I required minimal alterations (hem, bustle, and adding detachable straps). Her work is fantastic. My bustle was very simple for the girls to put up (7 sets of ties; all numbered to make it easier...no loops or hooks or buttons). I never ended up using the straps, but it was nice to have the option.
