I know there are lots of ATL ladies on this board, so I've posted this 2x
First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta: Gorgeous church with professional staff. The ambiance is amazing. They got a new camera man the weekend of my wedding and couldn't get the equipment working, so I didn't get video but they allowed my photographer to shoot footage and get free reign of the church during the ceremony, so it worked out. 
W Atlanta Midtown: Professional staff will meet with you as much as you need and handle everything from set up to take down to escorting your guests through the venue. It's pricey, but if you choose to splurge on a venue the W will give you what you pay for. Amazing city and park views and upscale dining, posh furniture and decor, and lots of perks. The WOW suite for our honeymoon and complimentary upgrades for immediate family members was right on target. 
DJ Chuck Walls: We had a hard time fining a DJ and really got luck with Chuck! He was able to relate to our personal taste and the taste of the audience to keep us dancing. Has a great system, very professional, and affordable. He has a variety of hip hop, r&b, old school, and top 40 songs that will pack your dance floor!
Candler Park Flowers: Extremely personal and easy to work with. I didnt see my florist on the wedding day but everything was in place and beautiful like majic! It all just appeared. I was missing a hair piece, so my DOC called the florist the day of the wedding and she was able to deliver a couple of flowers on pins for my hair. I felt that I got the biggest bang for my buck with Candler Park compared to the many I interviewed, and I felt like they valued my service. 
Scoobie West: Simply the best! Scoobie did my hair bc I already had make up taken care of. I got compliments ALL NIGHT LONG. I wanted clip in extensions that didn't look like extentions and they were flawless! Hightly reccomend.
Kimberly Wasserman -  Bobbi Brown: Did make up for me and BMs. We were stunning! Very fresh and natural but glam at the same time. I had no complaints about my make-up. 
 First Impressions: Beautiful, affordable linens. I was anxious bc Allyson was difficult to get in touch with at times and making transitions in her business, but she was very accommodating - I decided to pick up and drop off from her home and the linens were fantastic quality. Transformed the room!
Tone Photography: Tony was a friend-tographer to my husband. You always here the horror stories of this, but he did an amazing job. A wedding our size really needed 2 photographers, but he put a camera in his wife's hands and made it happen. Since he was our friend he was also easy to take too, make my husband smile in the photos, and got down with us on the dance floor while taking shots. If anyone in Dallas needs a photographer I would recommend. 
B.Moore Events: I was against a DOC bc my venues offered so much help, but Shaundra really gelled everything together and kept all family members and bridal party folks under control and organized. Very warm and inviting and great at putting folks at ease during a hectic time.
Sweet Elegance: If you don't get your dress here, you've paid too much and/or missed out on an unforgettable experience. These ladies know whet they're doing. After visiting several bridal salons, I can say Sweet Elegance is the best!
Nordstroms/Men's Warehouse: $100 wear-again bridesmaids dresses that look great on everyone. What else can I say.
