WGM! vendor reviews are in...

We held the wedding on 7/11 at a private residence in Napa Valley so I don't have a venue to review but here are my thoughts on the vendors we used: Rentals: Classic Party Rentals, Napa branch Grade: A Very important since we had to bring everything for the wedding into the venue. Carolyne was our consultant and a huge help, they let us alter the rentals list right up until noon on Thursday. The delivery guys put everything right where we needed it and not one item on the invoice was overlooked. Flowers: Bluume in Burlingame and Devoto Gardens in St Helena Grade: Bluume B, Devoto A Christine at Bluume (renaming to Outburst) was great to work with over the phone and internet, she also is very affordable. She did our bouquets, bouts and cake topper in gerbera daisies and dhalias, and made me dendrobium orchid hairpieces. They get a B because the red was not the same cardinal red we had agreed on but a shade that was one or two tones lighter. The bridesmaids bouquets also had to be banded because the flower heads hadn't been wired enough to support the heavy heads. We arranged to pick up bunches of centerpiece flowers with Devoto Gardens at the St Helena Farmer's Market, they were a gorgeous accent to the valley landscape. Tuxedo Rental: Men's Warehouse Grade: B MW is mostly MW, but the people at the Emeryville location were slow and pretty unhelpful. Cake: Butter Cream Bakery Grade: A++ They made me a red velvet that people absolutely raved about. They had sized it perfectly for our 80 guests and the cake was decorated exactly as we had discussed and looked as lovely as it tasted. Photographer: Pennie Gladstone through Bella Pictures Grade: A+ Pennie was amazing, we were matched with her through Bella Pictures. She also works independently. She helped the flow of the day and made sure we got every important shot. Pennie blended in and was never obtrusive or distracting. I can give contact information, or more feedback to anyone who wants it. All of our venues worked with me over the phone/email, and I'm so grateful they all did so well even though I never met them in person!
