What vendors are you ladies using?

I am using The Balck Dog Bakery for the cake (mmm...soooo good!); Kelley DeBettencourt for photography (so much fun to work with!); The Boathouse for rehersal dinner; and The HarborView for ceremony (in the gazebo) and reception. Oh, and MV Florist for our flowers.

Hi - I'm getting married at the Whaling Church and reception next door at Dr. Fisher House (tenting the stone patio).  Using Tea Lane for catering and Seaside Celebrations for rentals.  Also booked Beetlebung Steel Drum band for cocktail hour and reception. 
Haven't figured out florist yet ... looking for minimal spend there!

You should look into MV Florist. Ellen is the lady's name and she works out of her home and is pleasant to work with. She came up with some beautiful mock-ups for my bouqet and centerpieces. She was reasonably priced, too

Hello-I am getting married on the Vineyard in Sept. Are any of you using a wedding planner?  If so, who?

Thanks

I am not but I know several brides have used Doris Clark.

I am not using a planner. Our wedding is small enough (50 people) that we didn't need one, plus our venue's catering sets everything up. We tried contacting a planner, thinking it would be worth having, but she told us via email that she did not have time to even talk to us until October (we contacted her in August), and we didn't have that kind of time...we had to book everything immediatly. Turns out, we didn't need one anyway.

Old Whaling Church was incredible, can't recommend the black dog cakes enough :)We also brought in Scott Kretschmann Photography from NY (www.scottkretschmann.com) since they have a place on the island.
