Ocken photography was almost perfect. I'm an artist so wanted fun, unique photos. I told her to please be unobtrusive, have fun, and follow her artistic intuition. We like quirky. She was delighted, and my friends all loved her. The photos were amazing and I loved them.
The package I bought includes a Kolo album with her top 20 photos in it, and I never received it, even though I followed up on it later, which disappointed me. The DVD with all the photos arrived in a timely fashion, though, and the quality was out of this world.

Paul does gorgeous, organic style jewelry... hibiscus leaves entwined, tiger lilies surrounding a ruby, etc. Very delicate and unique. He has a booth at the Bristol Renaissance faire and does several jewelry shows throughout the year.
I studied burlesque with Michelle for a year and LOVED her. She does great, fun, body-affiming burlesque lessons at bachelorette parties. She is fun and awesome. It's all very cheeky and sassy, not vulgar at all. Can't recommend it enough for something to get your girlfriends out of their shells & feeling good about themselves.

I bought a bridesmaid gown here for my BFF's wedding. When they measured me, and discovered that my bust was 34 & my waist 26, the seamstress told me that put me at a size 6 (which I knew because I had measured myself and read their sizing guidelines). The saleslady asked if I wanted a 6 or a 4. I pointed out that a 4 would be too tight along my waist, and I'd rather wear a push-up and get a 6. "Some girls try to lose weight before the wedding," she said, "Do you think you might--"
I would have walked at that instant if I thought my enormous SIZE SIX butt could squeeze out the door fast enough. I informed her in no uncertain terms that I think my figure is fine.
They gave me the chiffon version of the satin skirt I ordered, but fortunately there were enough variations in bridesmaid gowns that no one noticed. The dress fit fine, the alterations were fine, and things came in on time.

The food was great -- really can't say enough about that. I loved having a buffet of Indian and Western food. Service was quite good. The place is GORGEOUS, especially if you like Indian decor. My one complaint was that the "wedding planner" who was working with me quit and no one told me, so there was some confusion and agitation until we figured things out. This was shortly after they opened, so I assume they have ironed out the kinks since then. The other half star they lost (making it 4 instead of 4.5) is because the owner tried to show some customers the room ***during my ceremony.*** one of my ushers shooed them out.
