Joe Gellis at Haggadahs-are-us is AMAZING to work with to get benchers. He knows the printing process and turned things around FAST.  We wanted purple foil on the front, and he called us after a test run and said it didn't look good, so he would re-do it, and what was our next choice of color.  We ordered our Benchers about 2 weeks before our wedding and they came in on time and exactly as ordere. I went to a wedding this weekend that used him too, and thiers also looked fabulous.

He'll send you a free sample of the book (not custom printed) if you want.

hands down, the best benschers on the market are yedid nefesh.  we used them, and two of our friends subsequently used them at their weddings as well.  http://yedidnefesh.net/

its egalitarian, with all the traditional songs, blessings and prayers, and also includes the english and transliterations of everything.  there are also both traditional and progressive versions of eshet hayil, plus explanations of the meanings behind the various prayers in the benscher.

i highly recomend them.  we still use them weekly as do many of our friends.

In Response to Benchers:
We LOVED Let's Bench's photo bencher. http://www.letsbench.com
It turns what used to be an afterthought into a beautiful, personal, and meaningful thing. It's also an ideally appropriate party favor for a Jewish wedding. We chose to use a mix of scenery and artistic images along with family photos so our bencher stayed classy and personal at the same time. They let you pick the text that's appropriate for you, and were really helpful in allowing us to further customize some small things beyond the do-it-yourself template on their site.
