I wanted to write my reviews before I forget anything! I have already written this 2 times my computer is being crazy and keeps shutting off! So sorry if it's hard to read haha!!
Cappella Court gardens: B-
We booked Cappella in June of '09 we booked there after they had only been open a few months. Our planning process was good. At 1st a little rough with one person who was later let go due to bad attitude according to the staff. Jennifer was awesome and did a lot of extras for us. She never once told me no to something I wanted to do. I honestly thought she was super easy to work with!
The food was good. I didn't eat much but it good. Our guests say it was good as well. The CAKE WAS NASTY. I only tried the little bit during cake cutting but it was not good. I was REALLY DISAPPOINTED..the cake during our cake tasting was AWESOME..this was NOT. It was dry and just not very good. The grooms cake was MUCH better though. Some guests said the cake was ok, but I really was unhappy with that.
Our Day of Coordinator (provided through cappella) was OK. She was nice, but not extremely helpful which is what I needed. We ended up having a lot more guests than we had planned for (even though we high balled our #'s). At one point we had not enough tables so my mom asked to get more.. The DOC told her NO because it would look "bad" of course then my mom told her NO it looks BAD when our guests are standing up to eat!
HOWEVER, The final presentation of food, and decor was AMAZING. It looked beautiful, and it met my expectations 100% on looks! My cake looked amazing, and the tables and buffet tables all turned out great!!
ALSO, OUR DJ TOM WAS GREAT!! *(provided by cappella)*
I would have given Cappella an A, but the cake totally ruined it for me!!
Rehersal Dinner Los Lupes in Addison: A+
My MIL set up the whole thing. The food was great, the service was good, and people had fun. That's all we hoped for. We wanted low key casual fun and that is what we got. The private room was set up really festive and looked great.
DRESS Alterations, and Purchase: A++++
Nancy Dodd Is amazing! She is l located off of W.LOVERS LN & Midway. She did an amazing job on my dress. The day before my wedding I tried on my dress for my MOH and there was something wrong I called her and immediately she had me come in and fixed my dress no charge. I also bought my dress from her in July, it used to be called Eastside Story Bridal but she opened her own shop and it's now called a Bridal Blossom. She is great at what she does and has AMAZING deals on dresses. I'd definitely recommend her to ANYONE!!

Florist Blooming Accents A++++
Gloria Parker was AWESOME! She did SUCH AN AMAZING JOB with my flowers, I could not recommend her enough we met with her at the Bridal Show in January..I actually won a free Bridal Bouquet and it was gorgeous. She did all of our flowers for ceremony and centerpieces. I loved working with her because she was SO sweet!!
E-pics Sixfourteen Photography A+++
Colton did our E-pics and did an AMAZING JOB!! He was pretty new when we booked with him in fact we were in a huge time crunch and needed someone NOW..He was so fast at responding and setting up a time for us since our original photographer backed out at the last minute (an old friend, so no review on that). Him and his assistant were so great!!
Bridal and Wedding Photographer: GREG PEARSON A++++++++
Greg is AWESOME! He goes above and beyond when it comes to my. He is based out of Shreveport LA but we chose him because my mom knows him and his wife through business. Greg did an awesome job on my bridal pictures and I can't wait to see my Wedding pictures!! http://www.pearsoneyecandy.com/
