We booked one of their half day packages and still was not nearly enough time! Our limo was a little leaky (it was pouring rain), but our driver, Shannon, was awesome! She was very accommodating and attentive. It's not easy driving 14 drunk people to the wedding after party.

After looking over hundreds of photographers, I felt the Steve Lyons' staff offered the artistic style I was looking for merged with the best package choices. I was very happy with the picture quality and selection.

Marsha at the Kenwood location was great! My only complaint was when I called to give my father's measurements. He lives in Germany and so was measured in centimeters. Marsha has said this wouldn't be a problem and that they had a converter. The guy I talked to when I called was somewhat rude and told me I had to do all the calculations myself.

Our ceremony and reception was held at the Ault Park Pavilion. At first, I was very disappointed in the treatment I received over the phone, and had I not had my heart set on the location, I probably would have went somewhere else. However, once I was dealing with people face to face, I felt much more confident. Everything was set up well and ran smoothly for the night despite pouring rain.

Amanda did my hair and it turned out perfect. Despite it raining all day, my hair stayed up and in place. She even went the extra mile to let me borrow her umbrella to sprint to my car.

Michelle K. colored my hair the week before and I got great comments on it.

Nancy (Brideface) did my makeup and I couldn't have been happier. She was in tune with the look I was going for (50's glam) and had any and all products to make that look happen, including false eyelashes. My makeup stayed put all night, even with it pouring rain.

My fiance and I spent our first Valentine's Day at El Coyote in Anderson so decided to have our rehearsal dinner there (total of 15 people). First off, when I called the morning of the dinner, they had no record of my reservation but was able to accommodate us. Our server was amazing and super competent. However, many of us complained that our food was cold when it arrived.

We went with one of their cheapest wedding banquet specials - mostly sandwich meats and pic-nic like sides (we opted for cheap foods so we could have a stocked bar). I was expecting it to be a little on the hokey side, but boy, was I surprised! The presentation was classy, the staff excellent, and the quality of food was the best.

The cheesecake tasted wonderful! I was a little disappointed with the colors used to the decorate the cake, but other than that it was beautiful. In addition, I had an outside wedding and by the time we cut the cake it was kind of squishy. I would suggest an early cake cutting.

The owner, Bebe, was very excited that I wanted to do something unique for my flowers and had wonderful suggestions. She kept her store open late for my consultation, since I worked later than her normal hours. I let her know my budget and worked within those numbers. I felt no pressure to spend more money and, in fact, she'd make suggestions to keep my costs down. I certainly didn't find that anywhere else in the wedding planning world! My flowers turned out to be my favorite part of the wedding.
