I would recommend a photobooth hands down. This was the best favor/entertainment to give our guest. They have a photo that will last them for a long time and will always remember your wedding when seeing it. We brought in our own props which were fun!! Viking hats, top hats, felt moustaches, beards. It was absolutely wonderful!! Our guest still tell us how much fun they had at our wedding, and I think a large part was due to the photobooth.

We used the Cakery for wedding cupcakes and they were so delicious!! People who have had Sprinkles and Magnolia cupcakes were in love with our wedding cupcakes. They did a great job of making sure all nine of our flavors where easy to pick out. They were great to work with as well as talk to about any questions!

As a photographer and a person who has friends who are photographers, we went through Image Artistic because their books were amazing, and the meeting we had with them went really well. We hired them because we didn't want to burn bridge between our friends and bad wedding photos. And I now wished that we had gone through our friends.

Our wedding day was sadly derailed due to our photographers. They did not use their time wisely, nor did they get a large number of photos that we requested. We had four people from the company working our wedding, and not a single one of them was handling the situation. I, the bride was having to gather the family members, and be the coordinator for the photos. We are very disappointed in the photos as well. They were not what the books made them out to be. One of the photographers didn't understand simple requests of what we wanted. One photographer was reviewing his photos while we were doing parent dances, and was asked repeatedly to take the photos. At one point the owner said she didn't understand the theme of our wedding, when it had been clearly discussed at our meeting a year prior and on our file. We were very upset with our photos and the service we received. It's heart breaking that the eighteen months we put into making our wedding (we handmade and planned everything) isn't recorded.

I would look elsewhere for a photographer

The DeMenil house is a beautiful place to have your wedding. The grounds are enchanting as well as the food is good. BUT, I will warn you that the man who runs the place is very hard to work with. He is a "yes" man. He will tell you "yes", nothing is a problem, they can accommodate you, and then he goes back on his word, or doesn't remember. We planned our wedding for 18 months. He was the one vendor that completely ruined part of our day. He was an hour let to let my crew come in to decorate, and was very rude to all of them while doing it, telling them the he had a whole staff that would take of it. So, they let him take care of it, and when we arrived six hours later, NOTHING was done. He is very unprofessional and didn't care one bit about our needs, and desired to make our wedding day the best it could be.

Our guest did love the venue, and the food. The location manager will be the hard part to work with, especially if you aren't a platinum wedding.
