My wedding was fantastic. Just amazing. I wanted to give anyone looking for central florida vendors my list.
Dubsdread Highland Manor: First of all Highland Manor is beautiful. Second of all, dubsdread is so professional. The food is amazing. They take care of everything that you could think of and more. I had NO STRESS on my wedding day thanks in part to Dubsdread. If you are going to splurge on something it needs to be this. Also, the food was fantastic. Just amazing. Tip: Get the potato station on the buffet. I cannot tell you how many people walked past my table with a thumbs up "Heck ya, potato bar!"
http://www.highlandmanororlando.com/index.htmlWeddings only DJ: This guy is awesome. He was so on point, kept the party moving and actually managed to get my super conservative family out on the dance floor. Not to mention my husband and i had ridiculously specific song choices through the ENTIRE night...and he did it perfectly. This is his career. If your music is important to you...Brian will NOT mess it up
http://www.weddingsonlydjentertainment.com/Jenna Michelle Photography: Jenna...she made our night. We are incredibly geeky. Not only did she get all of the prerequisit shots (and get them beautifully) she went the extra mile and added little nerdy things throughout the night like our rings next to zombie game dice and she photoshopped the Tardis into one of our shots (just for fun). She is amazing. And affordable. OMG. Get her while her rate is what it is...I had so many people tell me that for her quality and professionality she could have charged me double what she did. She is fantastic.
http://jennamichelephotography.com/blog/DIY Uplighting: I was a little leery of using a mail order lighting service. BUT THIS WAS SO EASY!! All of the lights came in unbroken and they provide return shipping labels. If you don't mind setting up yourself (easy) and like saving money (yes) then this is for you.
http://www.diyuplighting.com/Flowers by Milk and Honey: I lucked out when I stumbled across Meghan's website. She created beautiful UNIQUE flower arrangments. It was so easy, I didn't even talk to her/meet with her before the wedding. We communicated entirely by email. She's out in Daytona but is entirely worth the little extra to get her to come and make your flowers perfect. I got SO MANY compliments on the flowers.
http://www.flowersbymilkandhoney.com/Morgan Foy Makeup: Morgan is a freelance makeup artist and I cannot tell you how easy she is to work with! Besides being at a very reasonable rate (even if you're not a friend of a friend
) I have gotten SO MANY compliments on my makeup. I told her I wanted to look dewy and glowing. I was dewy and glowing. She knows what she's doing and I cannot say enough nice things about her! I looked perfect on my wedding day...and it's all thanks to her!
http://www.morganfoy.com/#!home/mainPageTeri at His n Hers Hair: Teri is DA BOMB. I was aiming for an outdoor ceremony. I came in with my pictures and she told me EXACTLY what would work for my hair type, ceremony location and weather. I had my wedding while Sandy was blowing through. All of my girls hair stayed perfectly. I couldn't have asked for more from her. Not to mention when my headband went missing before the ceremony she created a beautiful hydrangea headband lickety split with no trouble at all. AND to top it off she is far from the most expensive out there! If you're looking for a professional go with her!
http://www.yelp.com/biz/his-and-hers-hair-design-winter-parkLon with Sensational Ceremonies: First of all, Lon is like a best friend. He is so charasmatic and weaves a story with your ceremony. He truely is a story teller, he has such a great presence! Our vows weren't entirely traditional...he rolled right along with it and it turned out beautifully. Even some of our vendors said they cried at our ceremony! I couldn't suggest someone more.
http://sensationalceremonies.com/locations-weddings/central-florida/officiants-cfl/lon-tosi/Cut the Cake: EXTREMELY Affordable, Beautiful and TASTY. Gave me exactly what I wanted in three different flavors and it was so good I was eating it the next day for breakfast! Can't go wrong with these guys!
http://www.cutthecakeinc.com/I will be posting photos soon (Jenna was so awesome she posted some teaser shots THE NIGHT of the wedding on FB) so you can see how awesome these vendors were yourself
