We chose the Inn because we wanted a location for both the ceremony and reception that was outside and naturally very beautiful. The Inn is spectacular, romantic, quaint, and perfect. I would encourage every bride with a smallish wedding that wants to be outside to look at this venue. It's gorgeous and just about everything is included (tables, chairs, linens, flatware, plates, votives, even flowers, if you want them). We worked with Carole on our 80-person wedding and she was great. I really can't say how much I loved this place. Our wedding there just felt magical. And I'm not sure what a previous reviewer was saying about bland food. Our food was absolutely delicious and we are still getting emails about it.

I just found out that Lady Jane passed away a couple of months ago. ; (

I bought my veil from them. It was exactly what I was expecting and only cost $22 ($30 with shipping). It came really fast and was in good shape.

As strange as this might sound, I wasn't convinced I wanted an engagement ring. We were engaged for five months before I really started looking, convinced I wouldn't find anything that felt right for me (I'm just not a flashy person). But then we found Claude Morady. They have really gorgeous vintage rings at affordable prices (which is amazing considering they are in Beverly Hills). The first time I went (based on a referral from a friend) I didn't find anything, but they were so nice, I decided to go back this weekend to look again. I ended up finding the perfect ring for me. They were so patient and encouraging. And then they let us pay in monthly installments so we wouldn't have to put it on the credit card. I could not have had a better experience with them. If you think you might want something vintage, you should really go there and keep going back to see the new things they get in. You won't be disappointed.

We also went during their 20% off sale to get my FI's band. They were really helpful and patient with us as we went back and forth, despite the large number of people there. Eventually we decided on a band that cost more than we wanted to spend, but we decided to go for it anyway. Then they told us that we could get it in palladium instead of in platinum and save ourselves a ton of money. All the research we've done on palladium since then backs up everything they told us and made us feel confident in the choice. They saved us a ton of money on top of the 20% off. Seriously, what more could you ask from a store?

I bought my Nicole Miller dress through Pearl's Place and it came within 3 weeks of me ordering it at a $500 discount. It was so easy and I can't think of a single reason not to use them to get your dress. All I would recommend is trying on the dress you want ahead of time so that you have an accurate sense of what size you need. It's not really worth e-mailing them for anything, just call, as that's what they ask you to do when you e-mail. Also, they don't seem to have any voicemail and once when I called it just kept ringing and ringing. Just call back at another time or day to reach them. It's so worth it!!!
