I'm married and have vendor reviews!

DOC- Courtney Tibbits/After the Engagement A+Courtney was amazing! Everything ran smoothly and all the decor was placed perfectly. I found out later that the rental company was late delivering the chairs and the day after the wedding I got a refund for $80.Officiant - Pastor Mike BHe did everything great. There was one part we discussed differently, but he did it the original way. No one noticed though.Photog - Deshun/Yasmine - Dapper Images A+++Absolutley amazing!! They work great together and never missed a beet. We were running behind, but they were still able to get awesome shots. At Balboa park Deshun chased down the trolly so we can get a few pick on there. They will do anything to get a great shot. I got my pictures back to view in 10 days, so awesome! If you want to see: http://dapperimages.zenfolio.com/p801361529Video - NR3 productions AThey were right with the photogs for everything so I know they got some awesome stuff. They do amazing work from what I see on their site, I haven't gotten anything back from them to view. DJ - Vynce Pham - D (Sorry so long)He was good, but I was a little dissappointed. He waited until two days until the wedding to tell us that he couldn't get some of the songs that we wanted for our ceremony. Then wanted to seem like a hero when he recorded them from u-tube the night before the wedding. The day of most things ran smoothly. DH is spanish and my family is not so we had them walking in to two different songs, but he continued to play the one spanish song for my parents. Then when people started to sit down later on in the reception he asked us if we wanted to wrap things up early, ummmm no! BUT that is just my situation. The only thing about his "style dj-ing" that I didn't really like is that he lumped things together. He played like 5 Michael Jackson songs back to back(4 too many for me), then played all of the group dance songs(cha-cha slide, cupid shuffle..etc) back to back, I wish he would have split them up. He is a nice guy, but I wasn't blown over.Florist - Sheri's Flowers B-My bouquet looked amazing along with all the centerpieces, I LOVED them! My bridesmaid bouquets should have been a mini version of mine, but they wound up being 2 stems with a ribbon tied around them. The stems should have been completley covered in ribbon. By the end of the night they were a little flimsey. The guys bouts looked great at first, but mid day they wound up with stems hooked on thier jackets. Overall the flowers looked great.Cake - Edelweiss Bakery A+I told them my vision and they made it happen! My cake looked amazing and looked great too!Rentals - Raphael's Party rentals CEverything was set up great. The chairs were how I wanted them, but they were facing the wrong way(which is partially my fault, I gave a pic but did not put anything down the morn of.) The only thing major with them is they got there to set up 45 min late, which made a few other things late. Venue - Bristol Hotel AFood was awesome! The venue was beautiful and the staff was super helpful the entire planning process. My guest loved the when the rooftop opened during our first dance. They are still talking about it! Every also loved that it didn't have the "casino carpet" that most hotels have. The only complaint I got was that the area the cocktail hour was held was way too hot. They had to let the guest in the ballroom early.All in all I had an FANTABULUS day!
