My husband and I needed to find a florist for our wedding and had no idea where to begin. Our photographer recommended Lisa Martin from Studio Del Fiore and said she had seen her work several times and was always impressed so we gave Lisa a call. We met up with Lisa and explained the look we were going for and what colors and types of flowers we wanted. She spent many hours going over everything with us and was always in contact which was really nice in case we changed our mind on things which we did. On our wedding, everything looked amazing and she did a wonderful job. My bouquets were exactly what I wanted and she even threw in a few extras:). I would defnitely recommend Studio Del Fiore.

My husband and I LOVE The Shane Company. We had looked all over the mall for rings and they were all so expensive. The last place we went to was The Shane Company and I wish that would have been the first place we went. The staff was so friendly and they greeted us as soon as we walked in. There was no pressure and it was actually fun vs. stressful. They give you a tray to walk around with and pick out different ring styles you like and then compare and take you into a back room to look at diamonds. They were very knowledgeable and have excellent customer service. I will never buy jewelry anywhere else!

My husband chose Mr. Formal for his groomsmen attire and they had good prices. We really did not know what we wanted going in, but knew exactly what we wanted leaving. They were very helpful and patient with us, as we took a few hours deciding and asking for their opinions. We would definitely recommend them.

My husband and I wanted to go somewhere we both had never been before but were not sure where we wanted to go. We contacted Unforgettable Honeymoons and spoke with Renee who is the owner. She asked us what we were looking for in our honeymoon and with our answers, she suggested Fiji. We had never thought of that place, but as soon as she described it, we knew that was the place. On the day of our honeymoon, our flight was delayed and Renee was available to help us with connecting flights...she was there for us until we savely arrived. She did everything in her power to make sure our honeymoon was perfect and it was, it was unforgettable:). We loved Fiji and can't wait to go back.

I had heard from several of my friends who had previously been married, that Lamb's Thriftway was a great place to get your wedding cake so that is were my hubby and I looked. They sat us down and let us chose different flavors of which we were given samples of and it was delicious! We gave them pictures of what we wanted and came our wedding day, we couldn't have been happier. It look amazing and tasted even better! Can't beat the price either!

I decided to go to David's Bridal for my bridesmaid dresses as I found they had some of the best prices, but must say they also had some of the worst service. They didnt' really help us at all when trying on dresses and we fended for ourselves when it came to finding accessories and shoes to match. One of the ladies was so rude that worked there. My friend was having a personal trainer to get her into shape so wanted to get a size down from what she was measured at. The lady helping us told her that "she had a lot of work to do" to get to that point. We couldn't believe she said that...it left us speechless for all the wrong reasons. Definitely do not recommend for their service or attitude...but cheap dresses.

I went to Charlotte's for my wedding dress and had some idea of what I wanted. The staff there were very friendly and listened to what I wanted. They brought tons of dresses for me to try on, even some that I normally would not have chosen. They were very attentative and patient as I finally made my decision. They were the only place I went to as I fell in love with one of their dresses. It was way easier than I expected it to be.

I absolutely loved this venue! From the moment I walked into the ballroom, I fell in love with the decor and feeling it gave me. The ballroom is beautiful with a horse-shoe shaped balcony that is decorated with little white lights. I felt like it was out of a fairy tale. The staff there were great to work with and made the night all about us. I never had to worry about anything and was well taken care of. I loved the place so much that we had both our ceremony and rehearsal there.

My husband to be and I had our rehearsal dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory in Portland by the water. Our wedding party was large and had looked into having it at other places, but the limit for most places was 40 people and we had more like 60 people. When we arrived for the rehearsal dinner, the staff had placed us in a private dinning area that was seperated from the rest of the guests. The service was great and orders were taken soon after being seated. We had originally chosen what to serve ahead of time, but they were open to a few changes which was nice. They are also priced well with each meal being around $25 per person. The food was really good as usual so no complaints here.

Alexis from Jasmine Photography was amazing to work with. When my now husband and I went to meet her for our engagement pictures, we were both a little nervous to have a camera in our face and were not completely comfortable with the idea. Alexis is so down to earth and easy going, that she made us relax and be ourselves. The photo shoot went really well and she made the poses feel natural and not cheesy. Then for our wedding, she arrived with one of her co-workers (partner in crime) and they went picture crazy, not missing a beat. My friends who had previoulsy been married, complained how their photographers did not take very many pictures of the bride and groom together by themselves. I know I did not need to worry about that with Alexis. She took several pictures of my hubby and they turned out amazing. All of my friends and family at the wedding noticed how focused the photographers were and how many pictures they took. My husband and I could not have been happier. The pictures tell the whole story of our special day, from beginning to end, and we will cherish them forever.
