Dawn has been our "family" hairdresser since I was a kid. She came out to our B&B to do hair for me and my 2 bridesmaids. Everyone loved their hair, and it held up all night long!
I booked Brendan on the spot because I was so impressed with his knowledge of music, and the price was a steal! He was easy to work with in the planning stages, and did a perfect job the day of. He played our ceremony music as well as reception music, and did a great job of working off my playlist, handling requests, and keeping the party going. If I made a request, he responded immediately and with ease. He and his assistant even got out on the floor a few times! Several guests raved about him. I'd highly recommend him!

We worked with Natasha to choreograph our first dance together. She made Tyson -- who is not very graceful -- look like a wonderful dancer! Enough said! Everyone loved our first dance, and we got a TON of compliments.

From our very first meeting, I knew Donnie (the owner) would be perfect for us. He's eccentric, fun, and full of great ideas......and he wasn't afraid of our tight budget. He was also familiar with the intricacies of Cobblestone, our reception site, which helped a TON. He was extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process! The day of our wedding, everyone RAVED about how delicious the food was! The only negative feedback I got was that he was rude to a few of the people who came to help set up for the reception the day of the wedding. I'm not sure if he was just stressed or what, but they told me he was snippy and controlling (I was not there during the setup). However I personally didn't notice anything like that the day of (thank goodness!), and he's always been great to me.

Kay makes cakes out of her home and did a fabulous job! Her prices are incredible for what you get, and she's SO creative! I gave her an inspiration picture to work from, and the final product completely surpassed my expectations in terms of beauty....and it was delicious too! I would definitely recommend her!

I let my girls choose their own dresses and order from wherever they wanted. Both of them ended up ordering from the House of Brides website. They saved a ton of cash, the dresses arrived in less than the estimated time, and they fit great!

I attended this show with my fiancé right after we got engaged, and it was rather overwhelming…..I definitely recommend knowing what you are looking for before you attend one. Unfortunately, most of the vendors we met were too far away for us to work with, which I didn’t realize in advance (I should have looked into a local show). We did gather a TON of information, though, which helped when comparing vendors down the road. We did end up booking our DJ from there, and he was great!

I had a bad experience getting my dress here. I showed up one afternoon without an appointment (because their website says you don't need one), and they huffed and puffed about helping me. I was content to look around on my own, but eventually a sales lady came to help me out. It was painstakingly obvious that she wasn't happy about having to help me. She kept rolling her eyes, huffing, and disagreeing with me. I had to ask at least 5 times to try on a dress that was in a window display before she reluctantly took it down for me (then she tried to play it off like she was excited for me to try it on). She was rude and unaccommodating. Fortunately (and unfortunately), I found THE ONE while I was there, and it was a sample off the rack. The only reason I bought it from her was because it was discontinued and I'd never see it again elsewhere.
That said, after this particular consultant was out of the picture, things were great. The owner, Amy, was super nice. I took my dress to their Plymouth location to be pressed (for free), and the ladies there were also super nice.
