We asked them to make flowers for the wedding party - bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquet, and corsages for parents. I thought they did a good job. The did a wonderful job with my bouquet. The bridesmaid bouquets were a lighter shade of purple then I requested so it wasn't exactly what I wanted, but it still looked good. Their website has a bunch of nice pictures that you can look at so you can get an idea of what you want. I think you can also ask them to custom make something for you as well.

Sharon is an amazing, amazing photographer. I love her style. We instantly clicked when we met her and I knew right away that she should be our photographer. I think the biggest thing about having good wedding photos is letting go and having fun (at least for me) so having a photographer that we were comfortable with was really important.

Sharon's style is a mix of completely photojournalistc and giving direction. She wants you to act naturally, but she also wants to give you a bit of direction to get the best shot. I was very comfortable taking some direction from her so this wasn't a problem at all. I think it really improved the quality of photos because I am normally not that photogenic (maybe I need some modeling classes?), but our pictures were SO GORGEOUS. I think her prices are pretty reasonable and we had a good experience with their service. The whole package is 5 STARS!

I wasn't totally convinced that I should hire a coordinator, but after I realized how many things I had going on in my wedding, I gave in and decided to hire Kathy. She was FANTASTIC!! I wish I made the decision earlier because I worried about making things go smoothly for so long. Kathy took care of things down to the finest details and I think it really made a difference. Having her keeping everyone coordinated and focused on carrying out what I wanted just made the day so enjoyable.

Oh, I LOVE Filigree Monograms!! They were awesome! For my bridesmdais, I had bathrobes and slippers monogramed with their initials and then we all went to a spa and relaxed a couple days before the wedding. I thought the prices were pretty good and everything came fast and all (8!) bridesmaids got perfectly monogrammed bathrobes and slippers =).

Continental was absolutely great at my wedding. They're a very well run caterer and everybody I came in contact there was very professional. We got the contract, menu selections, and schedule all worked out without a hitch.

For the food, they've got a wide variety of cuisines you can choose from so they probably have whatever you want. We went with mostly French cuisine because we wanted high quality, but smaller portions. It was all delicious! For hors douevres, I would recommend the filo tartlets. They were so moist and yummy =). For entree, I HIGHLY recommend their sea bass. It is very flavorful without being too heavy.

I would definitely choose Continental again if I needed a caterer.
