This hotel was the one we picked for our guests to stay at. They gave us a group rate so we could reserve a bunch of rooms in one area. They also had a deal that if a certain number of our guests stayed with them, then we got the honeymoon suite for free for my husband and I. It was the first time I'd ever stayed in a honeymoon suite! It was amazing! They had a bar downstairs as well, so after the wedding our guests continued the party there. And I heard that the hotel hot tub was great (I never got a chance to use it).
We were making favors for the guests to get when they checked in the day before everyone came and we realized that we needed to print out more maps. They gave us an email address to send the file to and then they printed them out for us!
This hotel was one of the highlights of the wedding, which is kind of a funny thing to say. But they really did make the whole thing go easier and kept me from stressing out.
I designed the programs, but I couldn't print them out myself because I didn't like the quality. Allegra helped me pick out a paper color and stock to print it on. I originally wanted to do it on white cardstock, and they showed me what it would look like. I'm glad that they did because it looked bad. I ended up using a cream colored cardstock instead and the programs looked amazing. Everyone was so impressed when they found out that I made them myself!

I loved JoAnns. I made my own wedding invitations and they had everything I needed. I also decorated the trellis myself and they let me order a whole bolt of the fabric I needed for the decorations and they gave me a discount. I'm now using the fabric for curtains in our new home. For being a retail place they were really friendly and helped me figure out exactly what I needed for the invitations.

They had excellent food and great services. They gave us a room in the back that worked out perfectly. I got my husband the bass that he had always wanted as a wedding present and I had to sneak it in. They were very helpful and let me hide it until I presented it to him. I feel like we got really loud, but they never said anything. So maybe we didn't. Or maybe they were just really nice :)

I loved my flowers, but when we went for the first interview the person didn't take any notes what-so-ever. I brought pictures of how I wanted my flowers wrapped. They said they didn't need to keep the picture they would be fine, but my flowers weren't wrapped the way I wanted them. I also didn't want my bouquet to be just a puff of flowers and they showed me a picture that was gorgeous and exactly what I wanted, but it's not what I got. The flowers I got were beautiful though and it didn't ruin the whole day, it was just a small disappointment.

I went to the Brides by Demetrios in Troy, MI. They were really helpful. They had lots of tips, like putting baby powder under my arms so the bead work wouldn't hurt. Also as my wedding was in August they talked me out of buying a dress that I would have completely overheated in. It was the first place that I went that people actually seemed to care more about making my wedding nice than about selling a dress.

I've been going to Eugenia's forever. I love the way Chris did my hair. They also let us have the bachlorette party there. We had our nails done as well as sugar and salt scrubs. They also had a room upstairs set up with breakfast and mimosas!
They let us design our cake and helped us figure out how much we would need. They were very helpful. We sent them paint samples for the colors that we wanted and they matched them perfectly. I loved my crazy mad hatter wedding cake that they made!

I love Courtney. I have the most amazing wedding pictures, and we had a great time with her. She has a wonderful eye and captured the best pictures. Also, she worked with us to help us find the photo package that worked best for us. And she still has my wedding pictures up on her website :) I would recommend her to anyone getting married in and around Rochester Hills.

They took care of everything and the food was wonderful. Nino was so very helpful. I had a perfect wedding here! My mom kept stressing out, but Nino helped explain everything and always called her back no matter how sick he was of hearing from her.
We had our reception and our wedding at River Crest. I loved their patio and they let us come in the day before the wedding to do most of the decorations. They set up the tables and also coordinated with the bakery and the flowers to make sure everything got there on time.
