Ashcroft and Oak Jewelers are in three locations in the Cleveland area, and just happened to be the first jeweler that we felt was NOT pushy! We loved them immediately. We looked together for a ring before he proposed, and then he found my ring at a show - half carat pear shape, F color, with two small rounds on either side. We also bought both of our bands there, and they cut us a deal - my huband's band free when we bought mine at full price!

350 wedding invitations, inner and outer envelopes with return address printed on, response cards and envelopes with address printed on, reception card, and thank you cards and envelopes.
They were gorgeous, I did it all on line and then they had previews that were easy to use and I could forward them to my family to check. They arrived in just days!
I wouldn't spend the extra money to have them send you a mock up before you decide to purchase.

$4000 included everything - flight roundtrip from Cleveland to Puerto Vallarta, transportation to the resort, room, a honeymoon package with champagne, a breakfast in bed, a dinner on the beach, and drinks and food for a week. We liked the resort a lot, beautiful private beach, great view, accommodating service, pools were beautiful and food exquisite.
The honeymoon decorations we were promised were not set up when we arrived. The concierge was less than helpful in setting up our dinner on the beach or breakfast in bed. The room was not as luxurious as we expected - we did have a hot tub on our balcony, but the bed was like a slab of rock, not comfortable. The bathroom was quite small, and the maid service was slightly sporadic.

I chose roses, gerbera daisies, calla lilies, star gazer lilies, and berries.
Here's what we got for $1800 - Bride bouquet, toss bouquet, 9 bridesmaid bouquets, 3 mother corsages, 5 grandmother corsages, Groom boutonniere, 12 groomsmen/usher boutonnieres, 3 father boutonnieres, 3 grandfather boutonnieres, about 16 bows for ceremony aisle decor, 60 table centerpieces - a bowl with water and floating gerbera daisy with rose petals around, 10 bouquet clips for front table, greenery for front table, and pastry table, rose petals and whole roses and gerberas for the cake table.
Two ladies came and delivered all the flowers to the ceremony cite, then set up the reception hall. They gave me affordable ideas, and made everything beautiful. I was very happy with the flowers.

Our reception band - Worth every penny! A little slow to respond early on, but we're talking 8 months before the wedding. They were willing to learn seven new songs for us by ear! We were a little disappointed when they couldn't learn what we wanted for our entrance, but they suggested other things and it worked out fine.
They ROCKED our reception! Our dance floor was loaded the whole night! They played a perfect mix between the Czech waltzes and polkas my family wanted, to the Croatian kolos my husband's family wanted, to the rock that he and I wanted!

We chose to get married here because I grew up in this building. Since they charge per hour, we had a fairly low payment. $100 for ballroom, $300 for basement, $50 for security. Also a plus, a basement dining hall complete with kitchen and bar. My parents-in-law wanted to have a luncheon immediately following the ceremony so it worked out quite well. It's an easy location to find, ample parking (we had nearly 300 people at our ceremony) and a beautiful ballroom.

Jeannette was slow to return phone calls or emails, always coming up with an excuse. I felt like up to the week of the wedding I wasn't sure if she was going to be there. Fortunately, I didn't freak too much cause cake wasn't high on our priority list.
We ordered a cake for 250 and I was specific on the colors and way I wanted it set up and asked for a certain kind of cake and frosting. She decorated it nicely, it tasted great but she set it up a different way than I had asked.

I chose to purchase my wedding dress here because the shop was small enough to give me very personal attention, but yet I was always helped, and they were willing to order something that wasn't on their racks. Plus I got 10% off. I actually found my dress elsewhere, but felt that these people were more accommodating.
I also had my fitting done here, very professional - however, they tell you all the time you do not need an appointment to come in, but you DO need one for your fitting. That was the only problem I had with them.
I also got my bridesmaids dresses through them, and each girl was given a certain percent off because I bought my dress there. Plus there were discounts for shoes and other accessories.
We even got our groom and groomsmen, ushers and fathers attire here. They were quite willing to work with our vast array of colors and were willing to accept fittings via email or phone.
Lastly, we got the flower girl and ring bearer here, too.
Everything arrived on time, and in perfect condition.

We had a large wedding and wedding party and Jerry Clay was overwhelmed with the amount of people during the formal portraits - actually turned around and YELLED at the room to be quiet and that he was in charge. A requested list of pictures to be taken was completely ignored. Also did not take common wedding pics - formal portrait of bride and groom, groom with all bridesmaids.
His presence was overbearing during the day, he made it more about him being in charge than about our wedding. We understand that our photos are important, but we was intrusive and rude.
Post wedding, working with his daughter was pleasant - putting together our album and the parent albums. The pictures he did take were nice, but we would not recommend him to anyone.

Three locations in the Cleveland area, we used Parma. They were able to get me and 8 bridesmaids done between 8-10AM and then the flower girl at 10AM. My hair was beautiful, everyone's hair was! Each up-do was $50, they let us bring in breakfast and mimosas, too! It was such a classy touch to the morning. Then for bringing in so many new patrons, they gave me a $5 gift certificate per person!
