We have not had our actual cake yet as our wedding day is still a few months away, but we have tasted cake samples and gone ahead and ordered the cake. The people we worked with at the bakery are nice. Everything is so convenient, and affordable - I think that is why we decided on them. They also don’t require a deposit, which is very welcome in the midst of so many deposits. Just make sure you order your cake at least 4 weeks ahead of time.

 I have only had an engagement session so we don’t know about the ceremony photos. They are so talented based on their work we have seen so far. I was thrilled with my engagement photos from our first session. Professional and I felt comfortable working with them. Their prices are very affordable for what they produce.

We aren’t sure how our ceremony will go but this guy is great. Down-to-earth, non-judgemental and easy going. A little pricey but I think that is just sort of the going rate. I have heard great things about him from a friend who had him. He offers other services besides ceremony officiant. I've heard great things about his pre-wedding counseling and my fiance and I are considering a few sessions with him for our benefit and to give him the opportunity to get to know us a bit more before overseeing our ceremony.

I use them for everything related to my hair. They are great with color, cut and style. I will be having them do my updo for my wedding and am considering having them do my hair for some bridal portraits ahead of time. I've recommended my bridesmaids go there beforehand for a cut and style. They are talented and very well priced for such high end service. Highly recommend. 


The selection at Genesis is the best we found. They are incredibly knowledgeable about diamonds and they are very professional. Who knows if we got a good deal because they say they are giving you a certain deal but you don’t really know because the prices aren’t set. My ring is beautiful though. 
 
 One thing that is great about Genesis is that you can always trade your ring in for something better down the line. We will definitely go back when it is time to trade up!


The place is a little institutional, it’s so corporate that the shopping experience itself isn't very enjoyable…But,they give you the Groom’s tux for free after you buy 4 tuxedos and we got $30 off each tux. Can’t beat that. You can get everything you need for the men in the wedding at this store which is nice to be able to get it all done in one place!

The reason I give these a 5 is that you can get a box of 50 for 34.99. If you have a coupon, you can get 40-50% off. They are very pretty and very similar to the look we wanted. We will buy new ribbon for them but that will only cost a few dollars. An INCREDIBLE bargain and so worth saving the money as people throw these away anyway!

The fashion shows were terrible because it was the same dresses in all 3 shows. There were awesome prizes, BUT, the 102.5 gifts were given to people without having to prove their name so they just go up there, not a very good system. It was too crowded, sort of stimulus overload because of all the people. It was difficult to get to all of the vendors who exhibited and it ended up being more of a stressful rather than enjoyable experience.

We ordered our dresses through a local bridal boutique, but this was the designer we went with. Pretty and vast selection, but all of their dresses are sort of typical the typical dresses. I do like that they have a nice selection of accessories to go with their dresses. It gives me the option to maybe do something different and personalize the bridesmaid's wardrobe a bit more. When looking for dresses I found their website very user friendly in finding what I was looking for.

They are so kind, so patient. The selection is gorgeous, they have so many unique gowns. I loved the huge, gold mirrors and pretty décor. They are just the best of all the stores I visited and I was able to find the exact gown that I had in mind. They also did the alterations on my gown and all of my bridesmaids dresses as well. They were quite pricey on the alterations, but I felt like they would do a good job, so I thought it was worth the money.
