If there is one thing I did right it was hire Jen Kniivila with Visual Poetry for my wedding! Ladies you cannot go wrong with her. She is remarkable! You owe it to yourself to have someone professional capture this one day you have put probably a year into preparing. Visual Poetry will capture every detail of your work creatively. Visual Poetry is not your traditional photographer making your portraits uniform; she is unique, working around you and not interrupting your day (expect for those family portraits). I hardly knew my photographer was there unless I was working directly with her and I have TONS of AMAZING photos. She captured everything and then so much more!

Great people. Lots of designers. Had a few issues but they worked with me. My dress came in a week after it was ordered, they said it was a fluke. Dress had markings on it so they got me a new one.

Only suggestion if this boutique isnt relatively close to your residence maybe you shouldnt use for your tuxes. I had issues with my tuxes that ended with groomsmen traveling to the store (an hour away) for tux stuff the morning of the wedding. Not good.

The reception site is amazing! Huge open hall, disco ball in the center, bar and kitchen, big bathrooms. The hall renter unfortunately is hard to contact and isnt much help.

You have to check them out!!! If you want to save money and do things yourself....they are the way to go. They worked with me and did my wedding invitations to fit paper I previously bought; they didnt have to.

They created a map template which they didnt offer but I asked. They are remarkable!!

My food was amazing. People are still talking about how juicy the chicken was and how it was better food than they have had at other weddings.

I know it is hard to prepare food for that many people but they definitely didnt skimp when it came to the flavors of everything; it tasted as if it was a meal prepared for one person. Very good.

Again, another amazingly talented person who did exactly what I wanted for my cake. In fact she created a type of cake that she has never tried before. However, she welcomed the opportunity to use stenciling and created one incredible cake for my husband and me....you have to see my photos on my page.

My cake was everything I ever wanted!!!!

If I can say one thing about myself first and foremost it is that Im a music junky. I listen to everything and music creates my mood. I hate it when there is a song playing at the bar that I dont want to listen to. So to prevent that I used playlist.com and created wedding playlists of all different genres of songs that my husband and I like. I forwarded those playlists to my DJ and told him this was the music he could play. He then told me the music he didnt have and I burned CD's for him and then he was able to play them. He did exactly what I wanted; who couldnt ask for anything more?
