I was probably the most unorganized bride on the planet. Hamilton & Events to Envy to the rescue. He worked with my maid of honor to plan the most fantastic bridal shower ever! I would recommend Events to Envy to anyone planning an event to remember. I regret not using them for my wedding, but am glad to have had the pleasure of experiencing an "Event to Envy" for my shower.

Such a lovely location. I didn't really know what to expect until I stepped through the door. The staff was very friendly and accommodating despite the fact that I didn't have an appointment. I would certainly recommend this shop although they are pricey. I hear Sew It Seams, the seamstress across the sidewalk, is equally as pricey but equally as FABULOUS! Nothing like convenience and one stop shopping.

Such a charming restaurant! Our rehearsal dinner was fantastic & there was just so much food. The food was to die for! It seemed like there was no end in sight. Just as we thought we couldn't possibly swallow another bite the desserts came out & were even more delicious than I could have imagined. Hand's down an exceptional value, a great experience & worth every penney!

Definitely a hidden gem as one of the other reviewers mentioned. They have a huge selection of dresses and also carry men's formal wear in the same store. I was very pleased with my dress and the entire process. I flew out to Los Angeles so that my mom could be there when I found the perfect dress. We cleared our schedule and made this our first stop for the day. Well we ended our search in 30 minutes after finding the perfect dress for under $1000! They have a huge selection of designer gowns, bridesmaids, and mother of the bride dresses, but the prices are much better than what other shops will quote you!
I've had better massages, but I can't complain because Massage Envy has a price that can't be topped. They have locations all across the US and it's a great way to treat your girls before the big day. They also provide couple's massages so it's a great wedding gift idea!

I would certainly not send anyone to David's Bridal. They have stores everywhere, which adds convenience, but the quality of the stores leaves much to be desired. The last thing I wanted to do was try on dresses when I walked in. The service is horrible.

I love, love, love this place. Everyone was so helpful and there are so many bridesmaids dresses and flower girl dresses to choose from. The historic building just adds to the charm of selecting your dress with friends and family. You have to add this to your list of places to visit as you prepare to dress for your big day. I guarantee you will not be disappointed!
Michaels had everything we needed for favors & stuff we didn't need, but just had to have because it was so cute! The only piece of advice I have is start early in your planning process because you'd be surprised how much you can do yourself when time is on your side.
I didn't really understand the pricing. It was as if the consultant pulled a number out of thin air, but we went with it because it was lower than what I assumed the price would be for what we were requesting ($1275 for both fondant cakes for 150 people & there was still leftovers that we served the next day when we opened gifts) & I'm glad we did because our cakes were AMAZING. They were absolutely gorgeous & so delicious. I hated cutting into them, but when I tasted them I knew there wouldn't be a single crumb left. We even went ahead & ate the top tier during Ike. I swear it tasted even better the second time.

AL & Carmen are the best of the best. They are both very professional & our pictures far exceeded my expectation! I'll recommend them again & again!
