Affordable, locally made, and hand-crafted. Highly recommended for couples looking for rings that are symbolic or different than typical wedding rings.

Having a reception here is really affordable, especially if you have around 100 guests or so. They offer most of that fancy stuff like chocolate fountains, and can even do your cake in-house if you wish. They also have a separate site called The Main Street Ballroom that is larger and fancier. The food is great, and if you are unsure about it, I recommend you try it during their lunch hours at the Tea Room at Bright Shawl.

Incredibly friendly and helpful staff, good food, and nice location. The staff is super flexible in booking your event, and offer discounts for "less popular" days of the week. Also, this site is close to downtown and a couple of nice hotels without the high dollar pricetag.

Dresses are affordable, and come in a range of sizes for you and your bridesmaids. The problem with Alfred Angelo is that almost every dress you buy will need to be altered, and they will charge you $$ for the alterations. It would be ideal if you can work around their alteration scheme and find something that fits you perfectly "as-is". Also, their staff keeps a record of every single time you come in and/or try something on. That could be great or annoying - you decide.

I am hand-printing my invitations and need to look at paper and different styles of invitations. Some shops have people that are snooty and only want to sell you the pre-made invites or custom invitations from their books. Connie @ Sincerely Yours was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and let me take my time going through her resources. I would recommend this shop for supplies, invites, and even finding a calligrapher. They have the resources to hook you up.
