The owner, Erin, quickly became one of our absolute favorite people, after our first meeting. She is incredibly passionate about what she does and genuinely wants to blow her clients away. She helped us design the look of our entire wedding. Her and her team did the fabric draping, lighting, and decorating for our ceremony and reception. Besides being amazingly talented at what they do, they were all a pleasure to work with. If it's in your budget, I highly recommend booking Exclusive Events; they will transform your venue(s) into something magnificent!


 Christy was recommended to us, unfortunately we were not very pleased with her overall. She was disorganized in our meetings, often forgetting about things we had discussed, which forced us to go over them repeatedly. This lead me to not trust in her as much, therefore I did not put as much on her shoulders as I would have had I trusted her fully. She did, however, take over all contact with my vendors, near my wedding day, and that was helpful. She had two staff members work our wedding, and they were both very friendly and helpful. On the day of our wedding, everything went smoothly. There were a few things set-up incorrectly, that we had gone over several times, and because I hadn’t given her the full load, due to my lack of trust in her, some things were left out that I wish wouldn’t have been. She also was dressed extremely unprofessional at my reception (she was not at my ceremony); she wore black pants, a white shirt, with a bright gold sequin jacket over it. I thought that was very unprofessional, and I was frustrated upon seeing her.

We rented the 007 Bond Limo. They were so easy to work with, and our driver, Steve, was awesome! He drove the boys around for pictures beforehand and they had a blast with him. They had water and champagne for us, Steve was hilarious, the limo was awesome, and it was a lot of fun! Steve even gave us a wedding gift: a PowerBall ticket! :)

We felt Lifetime Media had the best quality, and best electronic capabilities, to make the kind of video we wanted. We got their largest package, but they let us customize it to get exactly what we wanted. They also made us a 'growing-up' photo slideshow that we showed at our rehearsal dinner, and it was fantastic. They were great to be around on the wedding day, and our video turned out stunning. They were very creative in their editing, using really beautiful segways into each event throughout the day. The video is very professional, and they captured even more than I could have hoped for!

The venue itself is such a unique spot; we instantly had to have it. Booking it from JoAnn at the Parks Department was awful though. That woman should not still have a job. She was impossible to get a hold of, was rude when we finally would, then took 3 times as long as she said, to do anything. My coordinator and I had to stay on her to get her to send us the park permit. It took her 6 months to get it to us! Luckily, once you book the pavilion, you're done with her. The venue itself is gorgeous and the grounds people we met were so nice and helpful. It’s such an amazing place, that all the hassle with JoAnn was worth it.

Words cannot express how much we adore this woman. Her work is phenomenal! She is a total sweetheart, hard worker (she was with us FOREVER that day!), an amazing talent; I can't recommend her enough. If you don't have a photographer yet, and she is available on your date: go book her right now!! It was the best decision we made! I could not be happier with our wedding photos. She captured so many amazing images, and was a blast to have around on our wedding day.

Tami is wonderful. At my trial, I was having a rough day, it was pouring outside, and I was running late and had forgotten all of my inspiration pics. I briefly described what I wanted, and she nailed it! On my wedding day, she came to my suite and did my hair even more beautifully, and did a great job on my make-up. I also had had a few bridesmaids ask if she could do their eyes, etc. and she agreed to squeeze them in. They were all thrilled with her, too.

Hotel Block: This hotel is really nice, and the rooms are modern. Our guests had nothing but good things to say about their rooms, and the staff. We used their banquet room the Friday before the wedding, and the Sunday after the wedding, at no charge which was nice. They also handed out our welcome bags with no errors. Overall it was a great choice, however, I, personally, had quite a few difficulties over the months. Nothing major, just rooms not getting placed under our block, etc. But our guests were thrilled with the hotel.

At our first meeting, Brian, the owner, instantly impressed us with his passion and knowledge of flowers and arrangement styles. He was easy to get in touch with, he had great suggestions for us when we had no idea what we wanted and kept changing our minds. And our flowers turned out incredible! My bouquet was more than I could have asked for, as well as everything he did. All of our flowers held up great, too. Our coordinator said his staff was great that day, setting up, and we were beyond thrilled with his work! He also worked within our budget, tweaking things a few times to get us everything we wanted, but staying within our budget. He also told us ordering our own vases, and re-selling them afterwards, would be cheaper than renting them from him, (we appreciated that honesty!) I cannot recommend enough!

We rented a photobooth for the reception, and it was a hit! People got so pumped when they saw it when we went inside for dinner; they kept getting up between courses to take photos. After dinner, there was a continuous line... everyone loved it! The attendant was awesome! We had a kids table near the booth, and he was coloring with the kids, and joking around with my little nephews; they loved him. He was super friendly with all our guests, and when my husband and I looked at the CD of all the pictures on our honeymoon, there were a couple of him that were awesome. It is an amazing keepsake for us, and our guests.
