Anyone used them? They're referrals from my recently married friends. Just curious what everyone else thinks of them....

I dont know about the first 2 but behind the bash is pretty good. I've attended a few of their events before.

I contacted Lovely Events & was not terribly impressed with her experience or pricing.  Her pricing was a higher than I anticipated for "DOC" services ($950) & that was with a discount.  She stated that the discount apllied because she was trying to "fluff her portfolio" & she was "trying to fill her many empty dates".  That really didnt provide me with much confidence in her abilities.   

She also stated that most of her expereince was from friends and family "on the house" before starting her business.  She wanted my business if it was a venue she hadn't worked at & wanted to look over the vendor list and see "if it was worth her while".  I found that rather rude.

I guess overall, I particullarly did not like her demeanor.  Hope your expereince is better.

Behind The Bash - I went to a wedding at the Parador & they were terrific.  There food was delicious!

Hazel West Photog - I heard about them on another board & checked them out.  They had nice pictures on their website but they were not the exact style I was looking for.

Lovely Events - Website seemed ok but I needed someone more reasonable in price.

We ended up booking with Kayleigh (Lovely Events) for full-service planning. I didn't want  to hire a planner but my fiance conviced me and now I agree. It was making me a little crazy! lol.

Now for the other vendors and 55 million details....

Never heard of the 1st or 3rd one. Hazel West is a friend of an old friend of mine.
She does good work. My old friend did lots of family pics with her.

Behind the Bash - great food.  My friend used them for her parents anniversary & it was delicious.
