This is kind of like the camera booth idea. You make a 10 second movie and then they (on the spot) print out a bunch of sheets of paper, staple them together and you are able to flip through your little movie. It can say thank you for coming to so-and-so's wedding on the cover and it also creates a little comotion and side line entertainment. People get excited about it. A little pricey-about 300-350 per hour

This is one of the only places I found where you can bring your own alcohol that is not a VFW hall. It is very nice, but we did not end up going with them for our reception site.

This is a great place to go with some girlfriends and kick back for a awesome night of fun. Its not too expensive and of course you get to ride the bull.

Check out this guy for awesome photojournalism. He has done tours with High School Musical and other huge productions. For what his pictures look like, I would expect to pay 3 to 4 times more than this. He is very accomdating and works very fast.

My mom was able to find a gorgeous mother of the bride dress here. They have gorgeous clothes and are very helpful. If you want your mom looking like mom and not grandma.. this is the place to send her.

Although I did not buy anything from here, Gina the owner is a sharp lady and can help you with whatever ideas you have. She is very informative about colors, shapes, sizes and designers. She also does make up if you are looking for someone.

This is a little shop in downtown Kalamazoo. They have a small collection of nice designer dresses, but this shop just wasnt for me.

I found my dream dress here. They were voted for best of the knot. They have a small selection of nice dresses with great designers. They also carry an exclusive, one-of-a-kind Casablanca dresses. I did not like their selection of bridesmaid dresses, but they can order many if you like them.

Many places have off season pricing. Mystic Creek goes all the way through April. You can get a banquest room with all glass on a golf course, a cake cutting fee, a basic bar, and excellent staff, and a buffet style dinner for $40 dollars per person. If you want to upgrade on anything-its only about $1-2 dollars per upgrade. I have also been told the food is awesome. The give you a gold cart for pictures also on their 27 hole golf course.

I found my bridesmaid dresses here. They have an absolutely huge selection-the biggest I have seen of anywhere I went. They also have many discount designer dresses. Great for bargain shoppers
