My husband (then husband to be) decided to surprise me for our hioneymoon and totally planed the entire trip. He book a 5 day stay at Honeymoon Hills which has individual private cabins that have and queen to king size bed, a kitchenette, a fireplace, an outdoor hottub and a heart shaped whirlpool bathtub. We found the facility to be fairly well kept and clean but our entire stay there was marred when the first day we were there the two flat screen TV's were stolen while we were in Gatlinburg doing site seeing. We also were upset to learn that our Hottub was too hot to use no matter how much we turned the temperature down and the Whirlpool bathtub got very cold very quick and did not keep the water in the tub. After everything that has happened there I would not recommend anyone staying here at all.

We ordered our invitations from www.theamericanwedding.com website and catalog. The invitations were beautiful and arrived on time. They were easy to assemble (utilizing an assembly line) and the quality of the paper and the choice of designs was excellent. Just be very aware of exactly how many you need to order so you don't over order and have a lot leftover (we goofed in that way).

The Slovak Hall was a nice site and was generally clean but the chairs were not very comfortable. The kitchen was good size to be able to utilize and move things around. The facility maybe holds only 225-250 somewhat comfortably. Overall it was a nice site.

As our only major splurge on the wedding was the purchase of colored and special printed M&M's from www.mms.com. The M&M's were done very well and were fresh along with the colors being very true to the website pictures and brochure details. They came on time and were not melted at all.

Living hope Church was an absolutely beautiful place to have our wedding. This is a sister church and since we didn't have a building of our own, they allowed us to use their facilities. The white pews and blue carpet and blue and white theme went very well with our wedding theme of Royal Blue and Off-White. The lighting and temperature were wonderful and the platform was large enough to handle a 5 attendant each and a flowergirl and ringbearer with plenty of room.

The Men's Warehouse did an excellent job with the tuxedo's and also allowed us to have one person bring everything back which made it a lot easier on the entire wedding party!

The Griffith Meat Market was wonderful with the catering. We had more than enough food even though we had more people show than RSVP's. The food arrived hot and was absolutely delvieios. And the amount of food per person was excellent for the price. Also the variety and selection of options to serve was great!

We had the rehearsal dinner here and the pizza was wonderful and they let us have a whole separate side room. It was a very relaxed atmosphere which helped immensely.

We decided on getting a small round wedding cake and 2 full sheet cakes as this kept the cost down and actually looked beautiful. Our whole wedding and reception was relaxed and it kept well with the theme.

It was a very nice experience to take my bridesmaids and have them pick out the syle of dress that would best fit everyone. The staff, especially Porche, was wonderful and the whole experience was really easy and I had a wide range of sizes and we found one dress that looked great on all.
