From a 100 guest wedding we are sizing it down to maybe 20 guests and&nbsp; moving the wedding date earlier (thank goodness I stopped myself from ordering my Save-the-Dates 3 weeks ago!!!). I need suggestions for venues. So far, I am planning on looking at Dusty's and Troppo's which both have private dining rooms. Are there any other options in the area?]]>

If you are interested I can send you a picture.  We used them with candles at our wedding but they could be used with just about anything in them.  They are about an 8 inche circle around the bottom.  I'm asking $4 each half of what I paid for them, but if you make me an offer I can't refuse I'll get rid of them gladly!  THanks!]]>

        <description><![CDATA[I got married in December and used a local studio with locations in Holt and Williamston (I've heard theknot will delete posts with specific references). It's been 7 months, and I have no album, no digital negatives, no wall portrait, nothing. We got married and when we got back from our honeymoon had multiple messages from the studio asking for our balance (which we were told not to pay until we got our proofs and it was only a few hundred dollars.) Since we paid it (and over $3,000 total), they have never contacted us again. I would never recommend these people to anyone. They are horribly unprofessional, and I hope that other brides will steer clear!]]>

        <description><![CDATA[I was married 7/25 and I have to give credit to all my vendors, and let all the new knotties know who I would recommend. :) My wedding went better than I could have ever expected, and I know it was due to my vendors all being so experienced, and making sure that everything went perfect for me :)  For my: Cermony/Reception - Quality Suites on Saginaw. The one thing my fiance requested was good food. The food was amazing, as well the service, set up and customer service. Kim did an excellent job :)  Photographer - Jill with Two Rings. Has great visions for beautiful areas to take photos. I am excited about seeing our photos :)  DJ - Matt with WED - aka Sound Wizards. Did an amazing job with running the show for us. Everything in the night ran smoothly, and the music was excellent!   Florist - Sherry Skinner - you can not find a better florist than her. She loves her job and loves working with flowers, and is not in it to make the big bucks. She is the best priced. Our flowers were beyond perfect.   Let me know if you would like any of their contact information. :)]]>

        <description><![CDATA[Well, we got married August 22, 2009.&nbsp; I still have some reviews to do but everything went wonderful.&nbsp; If you want to see some pictures, I have pics that were uploaded by family and friends.&nbsp; I also have some pics that&nbsp; were taken by one of our photographers.&nbsp; We hired 2, and theses pics came from our 2nd photographer that is just kind of getting started.&nbsp; If anyone is looking for a photographer, to just follow the guys around so that the main photographer can stay focused on you, he would be perfect for that.&nbsp; He has very low prices.From the extra photographer:[img]<a href="http://tinyurl.com/oxxpnv" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/oxxpnv</a>[/img]From our friends and familu:[img]<a href="http://tinyurl.com/lq3g7u" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/lq3g7u</a>[/img]]]>
