DH and I were married on Sept 17, 2010. We had the most beautiful day thanks to all of our wonderful vendors, family, and friends. I am going to make my reviews short and sweet because my photos speak for themselves. If anyone has any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
Scotland Run Golf Club, Williamstown, NJ- A+
I can't say enough about this venue! We got married outside in their pavillion (breathtaking!). Kelly and Joann (wedding coordinators) were so wonderful to work with. They were very prompt in returning all emails and phone calls and really guided you each step of the way. We had our own maitre-d, Mackenzie, the night of our rehearsal and the wedding day. She was awesome. I truly did not need to worry about a thing! The food was amazing. I swear, 95% of our guests (there were 140 of them) finished their plates! The desserts (chocolate fountain, bananas foster, and venetian table) were delicious! Oh, and the bartenders, were fun too! I truly had the wedding of my dreams at Scotland Run!
A Garden Party Wedding Florist, Elmer, NJ - A+
Loved Loved Loved Loved!!!! my flowers!!!! Did i mention, I loved my flowers?! They were probably one of my favorite parts of my day! I had a vision and Mary and Dawn totally surpassed it. I gave Mary the task of coming up with cute trees for my placecard table to hang or set my bird place cards in.. and they were to die for! My bouquet was gorgeous.. it made me cry!! All of the other flowers and bouts were super cute and pretty! I really couldn't have asked for better women to help make my day come to life. They were so awesome at returning emails and messages, meeting to discuss things, and working within your budget! I will totally be recommending these ladies for years to come!

My wedding photos speak for themselves. They are absolutely stunning and gorgeous. T's work is totally amazing. I will link up to his site and our photos if you want to see his work. I cannot say enough about how fabulous he was. Everyone commented on how pleasant and fun he was. He really knows how to make a bride feel beautiful, that's for sure! He may be a little pricey, but truly, his pictures are worth every penny! Oh, and he had my proofs in under two weeks! Score!!!
Oh, and do a first look! We were able to enjoy the last half an hour of our cocktail hour with our guests!!
That was so wonderful since cocktail hour on the balcony of Scotland Run is beautiful!

Karen Capcine, Hair and Make up, Philadelphia, PA- A-
What's awesome is that Karen and her partner, Kelly, travel to you! Their work is awesome and everyone in my party looked beautiful! They had 8 girls to do and they had them done in under 4 hours!! The only thing that I was unhappy about was that the prices she quoted me were less than what she charged the day of. I probably should have pulled up the email with the quoted prices, but i hate confrontation and it was my wedding day! So we just paid the difference because we did look awesome!
The Marriage Man, Officiant, Penns Grove, NJ- A+
Bryant was awesome! He truly was a pleasure to work with. He met us on his way back from a wedding in January at a diner, so we didn't have to travel over an hour to him! (super cool!) He was easy to talk to and really made us feel comfortable. Once again, he was easy to reach and discuss the ceremony with or anything for that matter! He was early to the wedding to calm our nerves, go over things with us, and to even take pictures. Bryant made us our own website with pics from our day and had them sent right over to us the very next day! It was so awesome to see some pics that soon! Awesome guy, beautiful ceremony!

Ann Marie's Bakery, Berlin, NJ- A
Our cake was included in our package with Scotland Run and we had a choice of a few bakeries. We went with Ann Marie's and couldn't be more pleased. We did have to upgrade from the standard vanilla cake, but it was worth it. We had a marble cake, with white chocolate, chocolate chip mousse filling, and italian buttercream icing. So it was a little slice of heaven!!
We really had no expectations going in with the cake. We simply just gave them a picture and said this is what we like. And it was perfect! Our guests still talk about how beautiful the cake was and how great it tasted!
DJ's Available, Dennis, Pennsauken (?), NJ- B+
Our guests were into the dancing pretty much all night. I really didn't notice Dennis all that much, which might have been a good thing because our guests were on the dance floor all night long so he must have been doing his job! The ceremony music was beautiful, from what I heard of it.. and most of the reception music was great too. There were a few songs I had hoped to hear, but all in all... it was a lot of fun! I know I was out there dancing my butt off til the party was over!!
Martin's Videography, May Landing, NJ- B+
We added the videographer on towards the end of our planning. I really didn't think we needed one, but DH said we did. I am kinda of glad we got one, because I missed all of my beautiful girls walking down the aisle, and the bridal party entrance into the reception. So I can relive our day over again, because it totally flew by! Once again, I really didn't notice the videographer that much. I'm sure there will be a lot of things I didn't see once our video is done. We have to wait like three months, so that kinda stinks, but that is a lot less than some other vendors make you wait!! Can't wait to see the video when it is done!
Hope you enjoyed! Good luck with your planning! I truly had a perfect day!!
Tara!
