Kindred Oaks
A+ before wedding
Everyone at Kindred Oaks was wonderful. Very patient, kind, helpful and understanding through the two years we spent working with them. When we were unable to get ahold of them right away they would get back to us in a very timely manner. We couldn't of been happier. Rehearsal went smoothly along with everything else planning wise with them.
B+ wedding day
The biggest thing was the gate. Everyone was stuck waiting at the gate. It was supposed to be open by noon but was constantly closed. Lines of cars were forming outside because of this. I waited with my bm's for 10 minutes for the gate to open. Signs were supposed to be provided so guests knew what road to turn down. The signs never made it out and guests were calling for directions. We would have provided our own signs if we knew they wouldn't be put out. They also said they would provide the lighter for the unity candle so we left ours at home. No lighter was there when it came time to light the candles. There were other little things here and there. Even though so many things did not happen the venue was still wonderful and did not ruin our day.

He was great when we met him. We felt comfortable and confident her would do a great job day of. I get a call from him the day of the wedding with him tallying me he doesn't have the songs we want. We only had specific songs for the ceremony and special dances. By this point I had no time to burn a cd with the songs he needed. It was obvious the ceremony music and first dance music was botched. It was very unfortunate and the only decision we regret. This proves how much you need a back up cd with all the music. The only saving grace for him was he did a great job with the reception music. It got people moving and up on the dance floor.

The cakes we tried were fantastic. They didn't always get back to us quickly in the beginning but greatly improved as it got closer. The cake was very pretty and tasted fantastic! All the guests loved it! there was not a single piece left!

She was very nice. The food she provided was displayed nicely and tasty. The breakfast she made for the two of us in the morning was superb. It made it the perfect way to start our first day as husband and wife.

A Wedding Dress
They always fit me in, even when I made the mistake and scheduled at the wrong shop. Each visit they made us feel welcome and at ease. They were always helpful. The dress came in way ahead of schedule.
A+ Alterations
The seamstress, Nora, and her assistant were so nice. They helped me in and out of my dress and just wanted it to be perfect for me. If I did not like or want something they respected my wishes. They wanted to take the bust in more then I would have liked so I requested that they don't take it in as much. They did just what I asked. The customer service was impeccable I did not mind spending the extra money getting it done at the bridal shop.

Mel was always fantastic. We get along with her so well. She worked with our schedule since we lived out of town. The engagement photos came out great and she got them to us in about a month.
A+ during wedding
She was a pleasure to work with and we hardly noticed their presence during the festivities. I was about to start sobbing hard core walking down the aisle. Then Mel stepped on my dress. It made me laugh the rest of the way down. She kept apologizing. In all the years and weddings she has never stepped on a dress. I'm so glad she stepped on mine since it was just what I needed. We can't wait to see the end result.

I got in contact with them a month before the wedding. It was so easy to work with them. And provided exactly what they said they would. The bartender got great reviews from the guests. The wedding the night before ours left the supplies they used for margaritas. The bartender, I need to find out the name, took what was left, made and served margaritas. It was such a pleasant surprise that the guests really enjoyed. The bartender also cut off the couple of guests that needed it helping prevent anyone driving home to intoxicated.

I ordered via IM online since I could not reach them by phone or buy online. They were helpful which was a plus since I was frustrated by not being able to order how I wanted. The flowers were delivered on time but the labels got mixed up. We ended up getting someone else's order. I contacted them ny phone about the problem. They let us keep the order and the next day we received the correct flowers. They all came looking fresh and beautiful.

I ordered my wedding shoes from here. They came in on time and were so comfortable. the only reason why my feet hurt at all is because I was dancing and on my feet almost the entire day. No blisters, cramped toes or anything bad due to the shoes. I used them the next day to travel in the airport and they were still as comfy as the day before. Same for the flight back.

We bought a bunch of stuff here for our DIY projects. They always have coupons which helped with the cost of things. The invitations were the big thing purchased here. They printed out easily once I got husband to help me figure out the printer settings. The guests raved about them. They all thought they were much more expensive them they really were. So great quality for a low price.
