Dubsdread is nicer, but we can be very happy with either one.   What would you do??

My wedding will by April 21, 2012 at the Lake Mary Events Center. We already have the venue booked (LOVE it), and I have my dress (Alfred Angelo). I purchased early because I was told the style was being discontinued.

Next step is meeting with caterers and photographers. Our top choice for caterers right now is John Michael.. it's in our price range and from what I saw, you get 4 entree choices, which is great. We'll also be meeting with Puff-n-Stuff, but they don't have any information on their website. :( I don't know what the food/pricing is like for a wedding of 130.

As far as photographers, we're going to reach out to Sandra Johnson first.  Then I think the next contact will be Jason Angilini. Both seem to be very minimalistic about filter and photoshop usage, which is a big deal.

Does anyone have any experience with these vendors (mainly John Michael Events and Sandra Johnson)?

Thanks :)

We had our wedding on the 26th at the Sheraton, and ran into some thing I want to let you know, so that hopefully they are better for you! Don't worry it wasn't anything too major, but I want to pass the info along.

Christina (and I don't just her because we have the same name!) was so helpful with everything. We were only having 20 people but she offered to let us do tastings for whatever we wanted because she wants people to love everything they get. She was prompt with calling and emails and didn't rush meetings.

When the day came, everything was so relaxed and I didn't even have to think about anything. The food was beyond amazing! We had an indian-style menu even those they do mostly italian food and I have never had chiken tikka so good. we wanted lemon poppyseed muffins and brownies for dessert, and she put a really elegant flair on our menu by making citrus poppyseed mini-muffins and brownies with a luscious caramel sauce and walnuts. I highly recommend this company for anyone doing bridal showers or engagement parties.

P.S. I would email Christina directly at christina@tastronomy.com

Sorry that was so long!

We are going to Orlando for my friends Bachelorette Party and I am organizing the trip.  There are 7 girls going all 24+.  Where do you recommend to go for night life?  Dinner/Drinks etc? 

The bride loves to dance and have a good time, not Spring Breakish but a nice location with a decent crowd.  She even loves lounges to have drinks and relax.  During the day, we plan to lay by the pool, go shopping, go to the parks etc.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

We need a stretch limo for a transfer only on our wedding day and wanted to stay under $200 total. There are so many limo companies and no reviews so it's hard to make a decision on who to go with and we are on a tight budget. Who did you use?

  He was great. He  said he took a total of 1400 pictures and  cut it down to 600 .   They turned out great .  One thing I would of done differently is maybe gave him a list of the things I wanted pictured. For instance he never got a picture of our App Table or a picture of the food table without people up there getting food.  But he took great photos of the tables .  But that our fault for not giving a list.


 I can show you all 600 photos if you ask but heres a few samples.

Heres  his email and flickr account information. I am waiting  to see if he is going to set up a  website.

Our wedding was gorgeous, and despite all the stressing and planning and worrying, it went off with only a few hitches! 

I couldn't have done it without the fabulous help of everybody on The Knot, so I wanted to make sure I perpetuated the love and added my vendor reviews!  I started a website on Weebly (http://kentamandabond.weebly.com) where you can see vendor reviews and for sale postings - and I promise I'll put up pictures as soon as I start getting some back! 

Here are the vendors I reviewed (for easy scanning and searching purposes):
  • Shades of Green (venue)
  • Vicki at Peddles (florist)
  • Modern Bridal (bride/bridesmaid/MOB attire)
  • Chuck with Classic DJs (DJ)
  • Reverend Tom Ciola (officiant)
  • Janet with Onsite Beauty (hair & makeup)
  • Coad Wedding Photograpy (wedding photos - pending getting photos)
  • It's Tasty Too (cake)
  • BB&J Linens (linens)
  • Angela Collins (day of coordiantion)
  • Millennia/Magic Nails and Day Spa (manis and pedis)
  • Men's Warehouse (tuxes)
  • Jared's (rings)
  • Sandals Regency La Toc St. Lucia (honeymoon)
As soon as I figure out how to add my site to my signature, I'll do that too. 

All of my for sale stuff is also listed on the site.  I need to put up better pictures, but I'm waiting until I unearth that stuff sometime tomorrow.  :-)

Thanks again ladies, for all of the help!
