We were recently married in Cheyenne. The Knot keeps sending emails asking me to review my vendors, but none of my vendors are registered with the Knot, so I am unable to. I decided I would do it here instead.
Location/Venue: We were married at the Cheyenne Kiwanis Community House. We also had the reception there. The price was very reasonable for a full day. Keep in mind that you are not allowed to hang/attach anything to walls or windows. We built a free standing arch/backdrop to get around this.
Catering: Holiday Inn Cheyenne. Paul was amazing to work with. He helped us figure out final details and provided items like round tables and chairs as part of our contract. We had a prime rib selection and stuffed chicken selection. Both tasted great. We also had appetizers and bar provided by Holiday Inn during cocktail hour. I was told the appetizers were good, but they were all gone, so I didn't get to taste them myself. They even prepared a kids meal for our smaller guests. A+ on service.
Music: Rock on Wheels. They provided ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music and uplighting. The price was a little high, but well worth it. They did an amazing job and everyone loved the "love story".
Florist: Suite Blooms. She listened to what I wanted for my flowers. Prices were reasonable and the flowers turned out nice. Communication was a bit of a problem in the beginning.
Photographer: Lunar Studios Photography. Low price for Cheyenne, but less than impressed. Photos were finally uploaded for viewing around 70 days post wedding (after several emails). Several photos were missing from preview. When asked about it I was told they were "scrubbed". The photos of my parents and I before the wedding were the ones scrubbed. A large portion of the photos are from odd angles, people don't look ready or eyes are closed. Some posed pictures were arranged with people squatting in strange positions. You can't recreate wedding photos which is what makes me the most upset. A friend had some family photos done and had similar photographing problems and issues with timeliness. Photos were taken of her family and ordered in Nov and she did not receive them until early Feb.
Baker: I made my own cake, so I don't have any recommendations. Paul at the Holiday Inn had some recommendations.
Hair: All That Jazz. I have very thin hair and need extensions to keep my veil and comb in. Also my mom and matron of honor had hair done there. We all looked great. The extensions were color matched exactly.
Make-up: Bellanova Spa. She is beautiful and her own make-up is very attractive. My make-up was okay. I am extremely fair with red undertones. I felt a little yellow and too plain. I typically use some color in my eye make-up. I scheduled with her last minute due to change in plans and had a quick trial. I am wishing I had worn make-up in on the day of my trial so she would have had a better idea of what I normally look like and what I was trying to explain to her.
